Full Story of Austrian Betrayal AS Told by Otto Bauer Himself
RKERs-PARTY WARNINGS DID NOT HELP,7 BAUER

We reprinting on this page in full the
statement of Otto Bauer, Austrian Socialist
leader, as it appeared March 10 in the Jewish
Daily Forward.
The Socialist New Leader has answered the
charges of the Daily Worker based on the state
ments of Otto Bauer to the press with distortion
and SANDER "The Daily Worker lies" it declared
"about the proletarian dead and the living fight
ers. 1t WaS nearly a year ago that these Social
Democratic leaders prepared the Social Dem
Ocratic workers for this conflict -"
The New Leader takes refuge in SANDER It
thinks it can deceive the Socialist workers into
accepting SANDER for serious political argument.
1t writes:
"The Communists continue their barrage of
lies about the treachery of the Austrian leaders,
The tenor of all these statements is the same; the
Austrian leaders had misled the workers and the
workers had gone over the heads of their leaders
in the battle they were staging"
The Socialist New Leader has ignored the
political analyses of the Daily Worker on the Sc
rious political issues involved in the Austrian sit
uation. It has taken refuge in ignoring the ex-
tremey significant statements of Otto Bauer,
leader of Austrian Social Democracy. 1t has
failed thus far to meet the challenge of the Daily
Worker that it reprint these statements in full.
These revelations of Otto Bauer have been avail
able for more than two weeks But the New
Leader has not given single word of them!
The Daily Worker charges that the policies of
the Austrian Socialist leaders, as we'll as their
actions, have led the Austrian proletariat into

the peaceful negotiations and must
use all means to come to an under
standing.
DURING THE LAST MONTHS,
HOWEVER, IT BECAME MORE
AND MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE
PARTY LEADERSHIP TO MAKE
CLEAR TO THE ENIBITTERED
WORKERS WHY THE PARTY
WAS COMPELLED TO EMPLOY
SUCH PATIENT TACTICS.
In the last week before the insur-
rection it became clearer and clear
er that the government was prepar-
ing to deliver a decisive blow against
the democracy and at the working
class.
The constitutional minister, DR..
Ender, let it be known that Austria
must very soon obtain a transition
constitution" which must amount
practically to a dictatorship that
a Parliament with general franchise
rights must not be included in this
constitution.
The Social Minister Schmitz also
let it be known that in the New
Austria" there must not be free
unions, that these must be trans
formed into "semi-state organiza-
tons; that the workers can no
longer have the right to strike and
that all differences as to wages must
be decided by the state.
The Heimwehr organizations we're
turned into a government police
auxiliary. The government armed it
and decided to pay its Vages.
At first this was put through in
Tyrol, then in other sections of the
country.
The leaders of the Heimwehr were
ordered to depose the constitution
ally elected provincial governments,
and to put in their places ruling
bodies whose leaders were to be
named by the Heimwehr, and to ex-
clude all Social Democrats.
The Heimwehr on their part de-
manded the dissolution Of the So
cial Democratic Party in all munich
pal bodies in which the Social Dem
ocrats had the majority. They open
ly threatened to take over the gov
ernmental buildings and city halls,
if their demands were not carried
through by the Dolfuss government.
1t became clear that the fascist
counter-revolution was prepared to
begin its final struggle and to seize
! power.
On the same days as the Helm
wehr organizations put forward
their demands, the Heimwehr min

the Republican (Schutzbun0 De-
tense Corps in Vienna and in other
cities and towns. He seized the
munitions which the Republican
Schutzbund had stored in Vienna
and around Vienna of which the
police had any knowledge.
This, naturally, made it clear to
the workers that at the same mo-
ment the Heimwehr had carried
through it's attack against the De-
mocracy it would also attack the
workers organizations, and for this
reason it wished to take away from

their arms in order to render them
helpless.

This is why the Heimwehr wanted
to arrest the leaders of the Schultz
bund and of the Social Democratic
Party; it aimed at disorganizing the
workers and to confuse the defend
ers of the Democracy.
That this was the plan of the fas-
cist conspirators is proven by the
provocative pproclamation which
the Vice-Chancellor Fey made pub
lie on Saturday, Feb. II, 1884
In his proclamation Fey spoke
about the Marxist -Bolshevist con-
spiracy which the "Social-Demo-
cratic criminals" had prepared
against the Austrian government,
and as proof of this he told about
the stored arms which the police

the organized workers and the So
cial Democratic Party.
Fey, of course, knew we'll enough
that the workers had stored their
arms in these places since the 1918
revolution, that they had never used
them, and kept them only in case
they would need them to defend the
Democracy from fascist attack.
The policy of the Vice Chancellor
made it clear to the workers that
the enemy was preparing, under
pressure Of the Heimwehr, to an
initiate in the next few days the
provincial governments, the munici-
pal administrations, and that Fey
was preparing an attack on the So
cial Democratic Party; that he had

bund. In the proclamation he also
stated that the government would in
a few days be forced to take ener-
getic steps against the "conspira-
tors"

already prepared the fascist consti-
tuition which takes away from the
workers the franchise, the right to
strike, and that he was plotting to
destroy the free working class or
CARNATIONS.
In this situation it became clear
to the workers that they must not
wait any longer; that they must
not allow themselves to become
disOrganized through further ar
rests of the leaders of the Repub-
lican Schutzbund; and that they
must not allow themselves to be
disarmed through further discov-
cries Of their stored arms. The
workers well knew that if they did
not begin their struggle in the
next few days that they would be-
come incapacitated for struggle
because they would not have arms

NEW YORK. - We re-
print in full the article
written by Otto Bauer for
the Jewish Daily Forward,
leading Socialist New York
daily, as it appeared in the
Forward of March 10.
Bauer, called by the For
ward the "generalisimo of
t he Austrian workin G
class" gives in his article a
detailed account of the role
played by the Austrian So
cialist leaders in the recent
uprisings of the Austrian
working class. 1t is a do
cument of historic impor-
lance. It reveals the his
toric treachery of the Aus
trian Socia | Democratic
leaders. We give it in full.

experiences connected with life.
And partly because we should
then give vent to our animal
spirits and make donkeys Of
ourselves so that, once we have
reached the years Of discretion,
we shall be able to behave more
or less like intelligent human
beings, and not do certain
things at the age of fifty or
sixty which we should have
done at the age of seventeen or
twenty.
Look at the world in which
these children are growing up.
Here we are passing through
the gravest and the most thor
oughgoing social and economic
and intellectual and spiritual
upheaval of all times, and the
dear old pedagogical faculty
seems to believe that the kids
have not yet noticed that some
thing is wrong, or should at
least behave as if they had not
noticed it, although it is brought
to their attention every morn
ing, noon and night.
It is a grand and marvellous
thing to be alive just when the
universal sense of indignation
at the manifold insufferable ills
of our planet has shaken us
all into a realization that the
thing is up to us right here
and now.
But every time some silly in
fant, in his own bewildered and
misguided way, shows growing
pains" and starts upon some
fool adventure of his own, he is
treated as if he were guilty of
high treason against the dignity
of learning and against the
safety of the state.
GRAND JOB
And unless he is lucky he gets
expelled and the whole buSi-
ness, which should and could
have been settled by the appli-
cation of one per cent Of one

good-humored irony. is allowed
to degenerate into an unseemly
squabble between the faculty
and the student body and more
taxpayers money is frittered
away by these unnecessary
clashes between the old and the
young, than by all the campus
rows Of the last fifty years.
No, this is not a plea for
that unhappy educational sys-
tenn which forces little children
to do what they like to do. AS
if the poor darlingS knew!
Without discipline we shall
never get anywhere at all, be 1t
on board ship or on the campus
of a university. But the best
disciplinarian of all is the man
who knows when to frown and
when to smile.
In order to do this, he must
have a cast-iron temper and the
nervous system of an alligator,
combined with the patience of a
saint and the understanding Of
a sinner.
Such men, however, exist. And
they can be had for practically
no money at all. For theirs is
the grandest job of all, to turn
the wild savages Of today into
the wise leaders Of tomorrow.

don't mind being laughed at.
Not only was it found at
Lisht, but, in the words of the
discoverer, it was just outside

a pretty sad way to go down
in history-"a woman so far

would be almost better to be
called just "an unknown

Nobody knows whether this
mechanical toy belonged to
Hepy herself or whether she
had at one time given it to a
nephew who lived in Lisht, and
who didn't give darn for it
after the first day and just left
it lying around. The chances
are against its ever having be-

In appearance, this toy looks

mounted in single file on a flat
piece of ivory, so that when
pulled, they executed some form
of pirouette. If the thing did
belong to Hepy herself, all that
one can say is that she must
have been fairly easily amused
for a gro-n woman. Still, there
probably wasn't much going on
