Ter and Goering want to exploit the
pogrom hysteria and the lust for
blood which have been stimulated
notably by the massacres of June
30; they wish to do this in order
to carry out a horrible mass slaugh-
ter of the imprisoned anti-fascist
fighters in Germany.
Hitherto, the murders of thou
sands of Germans have taken place
secretly; the massacres of June 80
came as surprise onslaught. But
the whole world knows of the mass
murders which are now being pre-
pared, and which are to cost the
lives of thousands Of the best men
and women of Germany, the mos
upright and the bravest anti-fascist
fighters.
"In scornful and provocative man
ner, Hitler and Goering proclaim
to the whole world that during the
next few days and weeks, We will
have several hundred persons shot,
This challange by the fascist
mass butchers must not remain
without an answer. The interna-
tional working class, the farmers,
the men and women of all nations
who still retain a spark of hu-
marity must stand up, must
speak, call out, and act-they
must stop the hand of the execu-
tiorcr and rescue the victims from
under the axe which is even now
ready to fall.
Make an end to the shedding of
the most precious blood of Ger
many. An end to murders, slaugh-
tiers and bloody maSsacresl
workers, farmers, doctors, writ
ers, scientists-men and women!
Stand up, ac., and save hundreds
condemned to death. Check the
executioner. Liberate Thaelmann
and all anti cist prisoners,

No Angel-if, indeed, there are any angels in politics-will tread lncautiously into situation like that.
 Besides, the string of political disappointments which led up to the present confusion is, in itself, a warning. The story is an extraor- dinary one.
 Unquestionably Senators Nye and Borah, when they spoke out sev- eral weeks ago against treatment of "the little fellow" under MIRA. thought they were doing a very good thing for themselves.
 MT. Roosevelt, in turn, appeared to his friends to have taken a very neat trick when he invited Messrs. Nye and Borah to con- duct an investigation and take responsibility for recommending something better. The two sen- ators shied away very quickly.
 Then Nye had another happy thought. He would nominate Dar- row to do the Investigating, know ing the skill and fearlessness of the old Chicago lawyer. The Ad- ministration couldn't very well re- fuse.
