Kindle Flames of Var in the Saar

the business has begun, on what
everyone has said and which
sauce to use for seasoning; they
can subscribe to and serve up to
the whole world the colonial pol
icy of pillage and oppression of the
democratic movement This
entire policy of the bourgeois
liberals in general -. is the most
ign0mini0us betrayal Of the real
interests of progress and liberty.
For such politics obscures: first,
the political awareness of the
masses, while passing over in COM
plete silence the plots of the re-
dictionary governments; secondly,
it pushes each party towards
sO-called active foreign poIicy;...
thirdly, it frankly plays the game
Of reaction in engrossing the
people in knowing how much we
shall receive, in how much we
shall get out of this, in how much
we shall buy and SELL"
Defeat Hitlerism
The Geneva resolution on the
date of the plebiscite envisages three
results: Cd In favor of France; 90
In favor of Germany; 90 For the
maintenance of the regime of the
League of Nations; that is to say,
for the status quo. These three re-
suits can be considered by us only
from the point of view of the in
terests of the proletarian class, we
must ask which variant allows the
greatest strengthening Of the rev.
dictionary struggle leading to the
overthrow of the regime of exploit
tation. Never" said Stain, "have
the BoIsheviks separated the Ma
tional question from the question of
the revolution"
If one ties up the national prob
lem of the Saar with the general
problem of the German revolution,
the decisive point in the. struggle
for the Saar becomes clear: The
interests of the working class de-
mand that we impose upon Hitler
Germany, which is the principal
agent of imperiaIist war in Central
Europe, a resounding defeat in this
region.
Hitler Germany, Japan, and Eng
land, more than all the other i'm
perialist powers, hope for war and
war booty. An increase of terror
and misery is inevitable under the
Hitler regime unless the proletariat
by its class power, brushes fascism
and establishes in its place the die
tatOrship of the prOletariat. The
Communists do not reject any
means of weakening Hitler fascism
and Of reinforcing the struggling
working class in Germany.
Given our revolutionary outlook,
we must prevent the complete
crushing in the Saar, as in Ger
many, of working class organiza-
tons; we must keep Hitler from
launching bloody offensive against
the Communist Party and the en-
tire revolutionary proletariat. With
all our might we must prevent Ger
man fascism from hiding it's die
tatorship and exploitation of the
workers from the eyes of the masses
by the noisy successes of it's for
eign" policy, all the more so since
eventually these successes" can
end only in the Strengthening OF
the fascist terror and in the draw
ing closer of war.
This fundamental point of view is
reinforced by the fact that tbs
tension between the classes is grow
ing, that the anti-fasciSt forces are
getting larger, that discomfort is
developing among the population
including the petty bourgeoisie and
the peasantry in Germany, The
failure of Hitler in the Saar region
will lead inevitably to development
of greater anti-fascist struggles
throughout Germany. Thus the
task of our Party in the Saar con-
sists before all in preparing g
crushing defeat for Hitler fascism
linking up this action to the strug-
gle of the German and French
workers against the German anc
French bourgeoisie.
