Sought Alliance Against U. S. S. R.

Won PAPEN while in power made his program
very clear. He sought Franco German-Po
alliance against the Soviet Union The International
Press Correspondence of June 9, 1892 quoted from
one of his speeches at the "Deutscher Herrenklub"
the arstocratic hosiery and intrigue center of the
German bourgeoise so often mentioned in the
Diaries.
This alliance said Papen, described
accord trois,' Ca triple agreement) shall
the purpose of an economic alliance against the
Russian Five-Year Plan. Within this accord
trois the French will also be in favor of Germany
being allowed to !. The accord trois' must
have regard to the fight against Bolshevisn"
But to save Won Papen, the lesser evil" the So
cialist leaders supported his regime. General Won
Seeckt who afraid of the Red Army, afraid the
German bourgeois would lose all in this mad gamble,
ragged against the Social Democrats.

"Why didn't they hang the whole crew of these
people? They had the power, but they hadn't the
pluck Afraid of their own revolution. crime
of commission by the Socialists which should be
punished by the death penalty"
At the time Papen made his speech against
the Soviet Union at the Herrenklub there was
present applauding him none other than
Herr Goering, Herr Roehm, Dr. Goebbels and
Count Helldorff. Of this crew, Roehm, and He'll
dorff are now ashes ANONYMOUSLY scattered some
where in the fields of Munich and Litchterfelde
"Goerng, Goebbels and Roehm greeted Won Papen's
idea with enthusiasm" says the general.

half of it.

Praises the Red Array


AS member of the chief Of staff of the Reiehswehr,
the general gets secret reports Of the state of the
Red Army in the Soviet Union He comments
follows:
"An interesting report from military ex-
pert In Moscow The condition of the Russian
army must be excellent! That's why Won Papen
who had the support of the SOcial-Democrats
and the Nazis didn't start his pet against the
U. S. S. R.-H. c. Splendid human material,
clever, and what with is, unfortunately, still
sore point incorruptible officers cear-cut or
ganization and above all, almost incredible
technical perfection"
He has many more complimentary things to say
about the political intelligence of the Red Army,
but we can't stop to quote them ALL
necessarily the Communist Party of Germany,
under the leadership of Ernst Thaelmann, was
calling for united front actions for general strikes
against Won Papen, to smash the intrigues to put
Fascism into power Again and again the Socialist
leaders, to preserve capitalism to preserve the
empty shell of the Wemar constitution, already
bedunged by the German bourgeoisie refused.
The general who from his class view point,
why the Socialist leaders fought with might and
main against the united front, declares:
'They must not deceive themselves; there
no doubt whatever that such general strike
would fuse the Social Democrats and Communists
together for good evil but with that fusion the
fratridicidaI struggle between the workers, which
had served the Right Wings interests so well,
would be abolished, and that something to be
avoided at all costs"
We are sure at this point the Trotzkytes will
call this book Stalinist plot That the General is
at the present leading 100000 Kuomintang SOL
diers against what the Trotzkyites call non
existant Soviet district, is of moment to them.
Such accurate confirmation of the conscious be-
trayal of the German working class by the Social
Democrats recorded by a member of the ruling
class which they were trying to in the eyes of
the Trotzkyites and Socialist leaders, couldn't be
anything short of Stalinst forgery.

claimed to the world that Roehm disgusting
pevert. In fact, he said he found him in bed with
a male companion in the most disgusting posture.
The readers of the capitalist press supposed to
take this as a sudden discovery, a complete
shock and surprise to the ingenious Hitler So i'm
povershed are the Nazis to explain their bloody
deeds against their own followers, that they are
forced to dish up the most disgusting stories that
have been public property for those who wished to
see for years. The author Of the Diaries tells us:
"A political journalist had published his
(Roehm's pederastic correspondence (Roehm is
hundred per cent homosexual of the most disgusting
type) months before (this is way back in July 26,
1921. g., and driven by necessity, the Chief-of-
staff, had thereupon responded by laying charge
against him asserting that the letters were for
geries. The letters are genuine and Herr Roehm,
Hitlers right hand man and better half, is one of
the most notorious pederasts walking about on this
earth
"And what was the creature had to receive
today! Scheicher (who asSasinated along
with his wife on June 80, 1934-H. CD advised me
to ea with him sitting and not to leave my chair
even for a second Then nothing happen to
you. But be your guard. Herr Rothm is sup
posed to be very ardent!"
Roehms only answer to the charges was that as
long as he served the German bourgeosie his private
life didn't matter and besides Herr Goering had

Comm ssss Lead Anti-Fascist Struggle
WHILE all this filth and conspiracy goes on, the
Communist Party relentessly carries on the anti
fascist struggle Just as ardenty as the Socialists,
cooperating with the scurvies agents of the Ger
man bourgeoisie, stab the workers the back.
THE Communists are very active writes the
General The 'antifascst campaign is hourishing,
grows and gains ground and has even infected the
Reichswehr"
Among the bourgeoisie the intrigues go on.
Safeguarded by the Socialist leaders, they have ire
mendous scope for their maneuvers. The elections
take place and both the Communists and Nazs
gain, bringing the issue to the sharpest cleavage.
Won Seeckt from his class viewpoint estimates
the results of the elections:
But in effect the Communists the real
victors; they have three quarters Of million
new voters and muster 80 seats lin the Reich
stag). Some food for thought there.
"Tor behind each of these 30 men stand not
merely 10000 sheep-like voters, in the other
parties, but active fighters, who are resolute and
prepared for battle"
Won Schleicher and Won Papen
THE July 81, 1882 Reichstag elections brought
stalemate for the bourgeoise. Neither Hitler,
nor the other capitalist parties victory,
though Hitler had increased his votes. 1t was at
this point that the Inflated Won Schleicher began
to maneuver with Won Papen, hesitating between
the Nazis and a military fascist dictatorship sup
ported by the Reichswehr We turn from the gen.

Karl Ra6el which throws great light on the pres
ent situation in Germany: ess

Social Democracy Capitulates

WITH Bruenng they introduced the policy Of
emergency DEGREES; they themselves dictated
wage cuts reduction of benefits and taxes for the
masses. Behind the mask of Fight against fascisn,
they elected their Hindenburg into the saddle
"On July 20, they miserably capitulated and de-
nounced as provocateurs those workers and trade
union members who advocated the general strike,
They thus encouraged Papen to put through his
emergency DEGREES Just as June Goth they sought
to console the workers with the Rechstag elections
and the state constitutional court now by means
of big talk about referendum, they wish to hold
back the workers from the strike struggle against
wage cuts.
To-day the workers are to accept wage cuts in
the decetfu hope of referendum next year. In
the interest of their Hndenburg policy the socials
democratic and free trade union leaders forbid the
social-democratic workers and lower organizations
to fight together with the Communists The social
democracy supports the Papen dictatorship"
How accurately this is confirmed by events, and
by the admission of this general Of the Reichswehr
in his intimate diaries
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-07-07

"The Communist counter movement against
the Papen policy is splendid. If only the Social
Democrats, who are terrified to death of united
Red front in case it should prejudice their party,
wouldn't keep on putting obstacles in the way!
Much might be affected, but for that. But as
things are!"

War Plans of German Capitalism

THE bourgeosie have reached an impasse. The
Reichstag is called and then dissolved, and then
called again. New elections set for November
9Th. The general meanwhile discusses the plans
of German capitalism He tells Of the horrendous
gas and bacterial warfare plans. We quote
sample
Highly interesting the experiments that are
being carried with animals and plants. At any
rate it has been demonstrated that the stuff works
when diluted to the last degree in other words
with triling amount one could gas any large CITY,
and destroy life; that is the main point. Ten of
ordinary passenger seroplanes could in normal cir
cumstances carry the necessary dose for million
and a half human beings"
On September 49, 1882, after the Communists had
forced the dissolution of the Reichstag the Party
issued manifesto to the German workers, which
completely barred the drive towards fascism and
the role of the Social-Democratic Party Addressing
the workers in the Social-Democratic Party the
Manifesto said
''Class comrades in the Social-Democratic Partyl

Reichstag Dissolved Again

THE lines were now being rapidly drawn for the
assumption of power by Hitler The Reichstag
was dissolved again because the bourgeoisie the
basis of the usual parliamentary chickering's, could
no longer reach an agreement, The dictatorship
of capital must now drop its fimsy mask.

Inside Story of Corruption of Nazi Regime Shows How
German Socialist Leaders Aided Advent of Fascsm

What forms the main support of the Reich
President won Hindenburg, the same lesser evil
crook of Neudeck that the Socialist leaders helped
put into power is obvious. His main support is
the armed forces of the Republic subordinate to
him: the Reichswehr. This force sprang into be-
ing in the struggle for the bourgeois state of so
eiety against the proletariat striving towards So
ciaIism. In every critical moment of Germanys
postwar history the Reichswehr has uttered its
decisive word in the language Of the machine gum
General Schleicher has stated that the govern
ment must be borne by broad current of the
people. But to what broad current does he refer?
His relations towards the Nazis are not known.
But already the Papen- Schleicher government is
not suspended in the air 1t is backed up by fair
y strong social factor though this has not its base
in the masses, The press of the opponents of the
SchIeicher-Papen government has designated it
as government of the Gentlemen's Club ("Her-
renkub").
The "Herrenkub" today, the club of the Thyssens
Krupps, and other fnanciers Of Germany, is the
real cabinet, the real ruling house of Germany, the
source from which emanate the orders for the ex-
ecution of the playedout Naz leaders, and the Sic
ing away of the base Of the deluded petty
bourgeoisie

Despises social-Democratic Leaders

GENERAL Won SEECKT is no friend of the Com
U munist Party of Germany, though he has un-
bounded praise for it, and evinces the bitterest
contempt for the Social Democratic leaders who
licked his boots and the direr boots of every other
representative of German capitalism. Won Seeckt
is now military adviser to GeneralsSimo Chang
Kai-shek training Kuomintang crack armies for
war to the death against the Red Army of China.
Whatever his motives, the General has published
his personal diary, fully documented, presenting
the record of the secret intrgues and political cor
ruption of the whole German ruling class in its
drastic efforts to save itself in the face of the
onrushing proletarian revolution.
Every worker, who can get ahod of it, should
read this book. We recommend it especially to
Socialist workers. Let them read for their own
edfication how the ruling class consciously utilized
the willingly offered collaboration of the Severings
Brauns Leiparts Wells to bring fascism into power.
AS far as possible here, we shall endeavor to
utilize the most salient facts of this book to de-
scribe Htlers rise to power and the forces behind
him..
The book is day-to-day record of one who was
closely connected with all the leading militarisS
bankers landlords and Social Democratic leaders,
from May &c. 1882 to January 80, 1888; that is the
period from Bruenng, Papen, Schleicher to
