During the past year Of fascist rule the wages
OF the entire working class were slashed 20 per
cent. The standard of living of the whole toilng
population was reduced tremendously in order to
provide huge profits for the Krupps Thyssens, the
bankers, the big ndustrialists, the wealthy land
lords. Germany was turned into armed camp

Htler's Bloody Buchery Brings Fascisms Doom Closer

AS A result of the events in Germany
"A during the past few days, an ocean of
blood has been Embossed between the fas-
cist dictatorship and its mass base. The
wholesale butcheries of the Storm Troop
leaders, which opens the way for more
drastic carrying through of the program
of German finance capital, will result in plunging
tens of thousands Of Storm Troopers and dsillu-
stoned members of the middle class into the ranks
Of the German revolutionary working class.
The destruction Of part of it's own scum and
filth by the Nazs is at the same time the ami
hilation of its unabashed social demagogy in the
trophic crisis of German fascism.
The full significance Of the recent bloody oc-
currences in Germany can be understood only by
examining Htlers rise to power, and the class
forces behind him. The fascist dictatorship in
Germany came to power in the interest Of finance
capital with the support of the entire ruling class
In order to achieve mass support, Hitler dema-
logically and shameessy made wholesale promises
to the middle class, to the impoverished farmers
and even to the workers. On these promises of
struggle against the Versailles Treaty against "in-
ternational capital" garnered with the nationalist
and chauvinist agitation, covered with vague prom
ises of national socialism" Hitler was able to
organize his armed gangs, the Storm Troops, and
win large mass base among the petty bourgeoisie
and DECEASED elements The broad mass of the

being Systematically destroyed; German credits

This was the situation on the eve of the present
CORY events in Germany The foreign policy of
fascism had thrown virtual economic blockade
around Germany more devastating than the block
ade during the last World War With bankrupt
treasury, the petty-bourgeosie could see that the
dreaded imitation sweeping upon them. The

ship could no longer cover the worst catastrophe
that already enguldng Germany.
Discomfort began to sweep through the ranks
of the Storm Troops, the very armed bands of
fascism recruited out of the ranks of the petty
bourgeoise and young unemployed workers for the
rise of the Fascist Dictatorship to power.
The Communist Party of Germany which the
fascists with blood and fire vainly had striven to
destroy, began to win greater and greater support
among the Social-Democrstic workers, becoming
the universally acknowledged leader of the growing
fight to overthrow the criminal fascist dictatorship

is no pressing obligation to see
that 1000 new DAILY" readers
are secured in the two months
allotted by the Central Commit

already been done. Seventy five

MOSCOW, June 3 (by RADIO. -
The fascist dictatorship in Ger
many has received an irreparable
blow" says an editorial in "Pravda, "
central organ of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union, in an
editorial devoted to the events in
Germany. This does not mean that
it is deprived of all possibilities for
maneuvering. However, the events
of the last few days have proved
that the zenith of the achievement
of social demagogy of the German
fascists has passed, and it is now
faced with a rapid descent to danger
with the brakes on.
TN these days, German fascism
again exposed itself as an agency of
finance capital. The cIass-conscious
workers had clearly seen this before.
Now even the backward workers
and other sections of the population
have the possibility of convincing
themselves of this fact.
THE Hitler regime created for
finance capital inestimably more
favorable conditions for unscrupul-
GUS and unlimited exploitation Of
the proletariat and the toiling
masses than ever before. But thus
far this had only been the begin
ming of the naturalization of the
program Of further plumber of the
toiling masses by the capitalists and
landlords.
