United Action Is Basic
Feature of Anti
Fascist Fight

ricade the workers held them in
check and fought. An incident
described in LHumanite by a re-
porter indicates the general attitude
pervading the French proletariat.
The reporter asks a Socialist COM
rade at the scene of battle. well,
comrade, you found yourselves re-
united in the battle?" yes" an
swers the S. P. member, and the
Communist comrades we're first on
the fighting line" A Communist
comrade from Toulouse, who was
accompanying the reporter, inter-
rupted But you too, Socialist
workers, fought with them" Then
he cites an example: "And we won
over thousands of unorganized
workers when they saw that there
was a real united action"
Wherever one goes, the same
thought, the same sentiment pre-
walls. At Roubaix, Marseille, Tours.
Paris, ETC., everywhere.
At the hospital at Toulouse, the
wounded workers were suffering in
agony from the injuries received at
the hands of these bloody fascists
sent by Sarraut. There the reporter
saw the painter Rene Revel, who is
gradually growing completely blind.
The Mobile Guards, after arresting
him, hit him in the eyes with the
butt ends of their muskets." Yet,
in spite of their sufferings, one heard
all over the hospital the following
remarks: They hit like savages,
and al that to defend the fascists.
1t doesn't matter, they saw at
Toulouse that the workers don't
want fascism." A socialist comrade
added. We will always be united
in this struggle

Ernst Roehm, supreme commander
of the Storm Troops, both of whom
we're among the butchered.
Hitler declared he had argued
and pleaded with Roehm to see the
error of his ways, but all to no
avail. He added that it was neces-
Sary to be particularly severe with
the top leaders of the Storm
Troops, because they were respon-
sible to the Nazi rulers.
Hitler admitted that in the
course of the wholesale murders
he found it necessary to shoot three
of his S. S. men, the picked armed
guards, because of their fiendish
tortures of arrested Storm Troopers
who were later themselves executed.
Again and again, Hitler ham

IF you ask why judges were not
called to judge the men at this
moment. then I can say that I my
self was responsible for the fate
of the German nation and there
fore I acted"
Hitler further admitted whole
sale corruption within his own
ranks.

an attempt to justify the wholesale

Everywhere the fascist hooligans
are aided by the police, the Garde
Mobile, the National Guards, at the
order of that brutal murderer Sar-
raut who is now Minister of the
Interior and a member of the Radi-
cal-Socialist Party. How is it then
that in spite of the armed fascist
henchmen and in spite of the armed
assistance of the government, the
workers not only are able to resist
them but no fascist meeting can be
held, no fascist speaker can utter
from his bloody mouth the words
that spell fascism, no fascist can
sell his prostituted newspaper.
The Toulouse Struggle.
One of the most violent struggles,
which occurred at Toulouse on June
10th, will give us the answer since
it is typical of other such battles.
Taittinger, the leader of fascist
gang, chief of the murderers of
Montargis, came to Toulouse to
speak. He brought with him his
henchmen of the "Jeunesse Pat
riote" and Sarraut (the official as
sassin0 sent him 1900 Mobile
Guards who charged and shot at
the workers. The toiling masses
held the streets during the entire
night of June 18th. One hundred
and seventy workers wer injured,
with four probably dead. The latest
report tells us that one of our COM
radeS, Rene Roussel, So years old,
died due to perforated intestines.
But the victory, in spite of these
fierce attacks, in spite of the shoot
ing, in spite of the casualties suf-
fered, was that of the workers.

Strikes Against
Fascism
BY PAIL GREEN

1OA OhGk11N
EVERY day, news is flashed to the
Il four corners of the valiant fight
ing spirit displayed by our French
comrades in their struggle against
that vicious enemy of the working
class-fascism.
The February 9Th attempted fas-
cist riots in Paris eliminated in the
first victory Of the French prole-
tariat against fascism. The Party
appealed to all workers, irrespective
of political affiliation, men and wo-
men in all walks of life, to rally
around its anti-fascist slogans.
The Communist Party of France
succeeded within a very short time
to rally and expand it's united front
of action against fascism in every
corner of France.
The G. P. knew that the February
9Th fascist events were only an in
dication of what was yet to come.
The subsequent events proved that
the c. P. was correct in its estima-
ton and tactics. We have seen
throughout these months, and only
lew days ago, what happened in
Paris, Toulouse, Lorient, etc. Hun
dreds of workers were attacked,
beaten, shot at, murdered in cold
blooded way by the police, the Ma
tional Guards, the Garde Mobile,
the fascist gangs. Proletarian
casualties were great. Seventeen
workers killed in the revolutionary
struggle against fascism.
The anti-fascist reply to date is
impressive. About four and one
half million workers took part in
demonstrations, in the general strike
of February 18th, in manifestations
for the liberation of Comrade Thael-

upsurge in Germany by stating
there was general condition of
unrest throughout the world.
"There are groups in Germany
promoting this unrest and rebel
lion, particularly the Communist
organizations in order to destroy
the unity of the German nation"
German nation"
Without listing them, Hitler
stated that he supervised the
slaughter of n of his own hench-
men, including members of the
Storm Troops and of the Schultz
staffle, picked Hitler guards, He
declared that these men were not
satisfied with the achievements of
the Nazis, and were attempting to
foment a Second revolution" He
said the National Socialist phi
losophy did not believe in a per-
manent or continuous revolution, :"
and that therefore all their deeds
were against the interests of the
state and had to be ruthlessly
smashed.
He further declared that the
groups within his own ranks who
were dissatisfied with the working
out of the fascist regime were
plotting with a representative of
foreign power" Again Hitler
dealt only in the vaguest generali-
ties, depending for emphasis on
the most hysterical shouting. He
said that he knew these men were
plotting because they met the said
foreign representatives outside Of
office hours, and he was sure they
did not talk about the weather.
Hitler admitted that throughout
the Storm Troops tremendous dis
satisfaction had sprung up; and
discussions were going on over the
fact that the promises made by the
Fascists before they came to power
were not being carried out. He
told of three separate groups being
formed within the Storm Troops.
He absolved Won Papen from any
blame in the socalled plottings,
while especially heaping the blame
on General Won Shleicher and

NEW YORK. - Twenty five
neighborhood conferences to plan
for one mighty demonstration
against war and fascism August 4
are being prepared under the aus
pices Of the American League
Against War and Fascism.
These conferences will be held
before July Is to allow sufficient
time for preparation for the dem

been held, others are being held
this week.
The conferences will mobilize the
workers of the neighborhoods for
march from Columbus Circle to
Madison Square Park where prom
inent speakers will address the
demonstrators.
August 4th marks the Goth an

World War.
Plan August l Demonstrations
CHICAGO, July 10.-Plans for
two great anti-War demonstrations
in Chicago on August were an
nounced today by the Communist
Party. One will be held at Wash
ington Park, 81 and st. Lawrence,
and the other at Union Park,
Ogden and Randolph.
Party leaders here stressed the
Importance for a tremendous out
pouring of workers to these dem
onstrations as powerful means
of retarding the militarist plans of
the Roosevelt government.
Need for such a demonstration
was shown by announcement in
the local press yesterday that a
greatly increased number of Him
oiS youth will be mustered into the
military G. G. G. camps within
the next few months.
Over a dozen working class or
CARNATIONS have already indicated
their support of the demonstra-
tions. Prominent speakers will at
tend both meetings.

USERS STOCKED
WITH STEEL

Concentration Of buying in
April and June, which ran steel
works operations up to the high
est point reached since the mid.
die Of 1880, has resulted in
accumulation of stocks by many
leading consumers, and a general
reluctance to make further COM
mitments, says the Magazine
Steel, adding:
"Steelmakers, by the terms Of
their recently revised code, are
bound not to advance prices, once
named, for a quarter, but may re-
duce them at any time. Few con-
tracts have been entered for third
quarter; those which have will be
adjusted to the new levels.
Drastic curtailment in steel
works operations last week, as
second quarter contracts were
completed, brought the national
average down 10 points to As per
cent. Further sharp reductions
are indicated this week as many
steelworks have closed and will
not resume until after July 4, and
then on slower schedules. Several
leading independent steelworks
will be down for the entire week.

duction is expected to equal that

RFC To REFUSE
HUGE SALARY
FIRMS

The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation does not intend to
exercise managerial authority
over recipients Of its industrial
loans, Chairman Jesse H. Jones
stated at his bi-weekly press con-
ference, adding:
1--WE won't concern ourselves
as to management, but we are
going to be interested in pros
poets Of the borrower, which
will mean going into its man.
Sgement."
BY this he means, the chair
man explained, that the corpora
ton will satisfy itself as to the
competency Of arrangements Of
prospective borrowers before ap-
proving direct loans.
No new industrial loans have
been made to date by the corpo-
ration, Mr.. Jones said, except to
close as direct loans several pend
ing which had been filed under
the indirect procedure Of COM
munity mortgage companies.
A loan of about $4,000 was
approved for the Tennessee
Products Company, Nashville,
Tenn, under this procedure. The
company produces coke, wood
plllp and alcohol,
Celebrating upon the pre-
viously announced policy against
payment Of large salaries and
dividends by industrial borrowers,
Mr.. Jones said they would insist
upon lower salaries where they
are found to be unreasonable.
Stating that it was unlikely
that dividend-paying corporations
would have to borrow from the
RFC, the chairman said he
thought it only fair that corpora
lions having to borrow from the
Government would forego pay
ment Of dividends so long as the
Government loan was outstand-
ing.
The chairman was most en-
phatic in stating that it was not
the corporations intention to in
fluence the management Of Dor
rover corporations. Despite this
avowal, the practice of the cor
poration in the past has been to
protect its interests. This has
gone to the extent Of selecting
members of the board Of directors
as in the Continental Illinois
Bank and Trust Co. incident and
placing Of RFC selected execu-
tives at the head of corporations
in which RFC has a large stake.

COTTON PRICES

NEW YORK, July tI.N.SO.
The downward trend in cotton
which yesterday brought a break
Of $3.50 a bale, was reversed to-
day by the firm tone in Liver
pool and the slight improvement
in grains.
The heavy selling from Liver
pool, one Of the chief factors in
Mondays decline, showed signs
of abating today, and moderate
buying by foreign and domestic
trade sources, combined with a
light demand from Wall Street
and commission houses, proved
sufficient to give the list a
huoyant tone. Southern sell
ing was light. Locals sold on the
call.
At the opening, with Liverpool
cables more than dozen Amer.
lean points above due prices, cot
ton in the local market chalked
up overnight gains of to 8
points. Offerings dwindled ap-
probably as the session wore on
and initial gains were increased.
Bullish sentiment was revived
today by the situation in Texas.

showers in that State over the
week end were partly response
