TIP to a few months ago, fascism
Y had been making great strides
in England. With the worsening of
economic conditions, with unem-
ployment over the two million
mark, with the growth of large
"derelict areas" over many of the
industrial districts of the north, and
above all, with the closing up of
other avenues of escape to the mid
die class, England presented a fer
tile field for the fascist prop
agandistS. Big business was more
than ready to put up the money.
Strong arm men and thugs were
easily recruited from the econom-
ically DECEASED elements of the
bourgeoisie. Sir Oswald Mosley,
leader of the British Union of Fas-
cists began campaign of large
mass meetings, which were sur
rounded with all the propaganda
devices perfected by Hitlerism. At
these meetings order" was kept by
MoSley's black-Shirted mercenarieS.
Hecklers and interrupters we're
mercilessly and brutally beaten up.
The young blackshirts, usually
fighting with an advantage of five
or ten to one, enjoyed themselves.
During this period, the British
Labor Party pursued the policy of
the traditional ostrich, and buried
its head in the sand. The fascists
were too Insignificant to be noticed.
The best way to defeat fascism was
to ignore it. Opposition, such as
was put up against fascism right
from the start by the Communist
Party, only served as an irritant.
In fact, said the Labor leaders, the
Communists, by irritating the fas-
cists, really make fascism much
worse.
This attitude of the Labor Party
leaders aroused much opposition
from the rank and file of trade
unionists and from Labor Party
members. All over the country, as
soon as fascist meetings were held,
as soon as the blackshirts were seen
on the streets, the workers were
clamoring and shouting to take &C.
ton against them They demanded
the organization of counter dem
constructions. They looked for a Lead
| in the fight against fascism. From
Transport House, the national
headquarters of the Labor Party,
they got only advice to do nothing,
to stay at home and leave the
streets to the fascists, to boycott
the counter-meetings arranged by
the Communist Party.

FROM the beginning, the Commu-
mist Party took on, almost single
handed, the fight against the grow
ing fascist movement. Gradually
more and more of the Labor Party
workers shook themselves free of
the "do-nothing policy laid down
for them by Transport House, and
joined in the fight under the Lead
ership of our Party. At first this
cooperation was spontaneous and
unofficial. Then came a day in
which the Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil of Bradford, one of the biggest
textile towns in England, voted
down the resolutions of the plat
form, and decided to back the
united front protest demonstration
by the Communist Party,
and support militant program
against fascism. More recently, in
London, Sir Oswald Mosley an
nounced a monster fascist rally in
Hyde Park. The Party issued the
slogan, All out to the Park to
drown fascisn in a sea of working
class activity" Official Labor in its
newspaper the Daily Herald cried
out, day after day until the meet
ing, that the Communists were
playing the game Of the faScists,
that no worker should attend the
counter demonstration. On the Sun
day morning of the meeting the
workers began gathering. Process
sions thousand strong started
marching on the Park from the
working class districts. BY two in
the afternoon a hundred and fifty
thousand workers were in the Park.
Less than thousand fascists, pro-
tected by five times that number of
police, tried In vain to hold their
meeting in the shadow of this ter
rifying manifestation of proletarian
strength. Mosley stood inside the
police ring, making futile gestures.
No one heard word that he said.
Soon afterwards, the fascists
marched out of the Park under po-
lice protection, with their tails be-
tween their legs.
This was not only MoSley fasco.
1t was also one of the most strik-
ing victories of the Party in its
fight against fascism. The Party's
course was completely indicated.
The sabotaging attitude Of the La
Dor Party was completely exposed.
And to q hundred and fifty thou
sand workers the role of the Party,
in taking the offensive against and
defeating fascism, was made plain.

Bring them along, we still have
plenty of room for such fellows We
were kept for a short time in the
notorious cellar, and then examined
separately. The detective taking
down our statements wanted to
know to what party we belonged,
how the delegation had been organ

really given the money
Threat of Concentration Camp
"The unanimous declaration of
the delegates that they were only
acting in accordance with their in
ternational duty of solidarity, and
that the delegation was financed by
money collected from workers for
the purpose, was met with incred-
ulous smiles and threats to send
us to concentration camps if we
would not tell the truth. One Of
ficial permitted himself a particu-
larly impudent insult to our leader
Thaelmann with the question: WHY

had already seen Thaelmann, and
that was enough. He also stated
that Thaelmann was quite well, and
holding faithfully to his Party.
Delegation Arrested
Proud to hear that Thaelmann
was still the old inflexible revolu-
zionist, we insisted that there was
no reason why we should not see
him. finally Dr. Walther told us to
apply to the public prosecutor, Wer-
ner, presiding judge of the so-called
Peoples Court, who has his head
quarters in the former Prussian
Diet buildings. Here we were re-
ceived with amiable speeches to the
effect that perfect peace and order
now reigns in Germany, and that

Nazi that no insult to Thaelmann
can alter the fact that in the Saar,
and everywhere in the world where
there are proletarians, the name of
Ernst Thaelmann is known and
honored as that of an undauntse
leader of the workers.
After this examination, which was
more of the nature of political
dispute, we were informed that we
were expelled from Germany, and
that we must leave by the very next
