DREMIER FLANDIN of
France prefers the New
Deal road to fascism instead
of the Won Papen-Hitler pre-
liminary methods, advocated
by Doumergue, the deposed
premier. At a speech before
French manufacturers and
merchants in Paris, Flandin dee
clared that by talking of amending
the constitution to put over dicta.
torial measures, Doumergue aroused
a political hornets nest. Roosevelt
showed the best way. You can do
the same thing without amending
the constitution, but by doping the
masses with patriotic propaganda.
The aim to be achieved either
by the New Deal method or
Doumergue's cruder ways is the
same. Workers wages and living
standards are to be lowered The
basis for a more rapid development
to fascism is laid.
AN EXTREMELY acute war sit
n uation has developed in two
countries, both in the forefront of
war preparations, especially against
the Soviet Union. In Germany, all
fascist forces are in what is vaguely
termed, state of emergency"
This is what used to be called war
mobilization" Furthermore. Berlin
cable stories declare that the cause
is exclusively internal While no
one will doubt that the growing
sharpness of the internal situation
in Germany, even between the
Reichswehr and Hitler's chief band
of picked murderers, the Schultz
Staffle, the International situation
indicates that the war mobilization
is mainly for external reasons.
A real crisis has developed over
the naval arms talks, with the
United States threatening to swamp
Japan in war building, actually at
tempting to precipitate war now.
No more open ehauvinistic attacks
have ever been made against Japan
than emanates from Washington
and London at this time.
JAPANESE Imperialism, on the
y other hand, is determined to
build its navy up to equal strength
with that of Wall Streets war ma
chine. Even the first step in this
direction has led to q financial
crisis, with the resignation of FL
nance Minister Full. The news re-
ports declared that he resigned be-
cause of bad health which neces-
STATED camphor injections. More
likely he was placed in a camphor
ball pack, to await the next finan-
cial crisis. Minister TakahaShi, over
80 years old, doddered into the POI
sition held formerly by Full.
News that comes from Japan in
a personal letter declares the situ-
alton is extremely dangerous, for
Japanese imperialism driven to des-
peration because Of the extremity
ieYc Ot
fling its armed forces against the
Soviet Union as the most satisfac-
tory immediate way out of an in>
passe that grows worse every day.
Hitler has a definite agreement
with Japan, that if this is done,
the fascist hordes will be sent
against the Soviet Union from the
west. With the fascist agreement
with Poland, we may be sure that
this will be one of the routes
marked out by the fascist armies,
as well as through the Baltic coun-
tries.
BESIDES, the situation in the Saar
~ is growing acute. The plebiscite
takes place on Jan. 10. But what
happens before as we'll as after will
be decisive. The fascists are at
tempting to terrorize the population
into voting for merger with fascist
Germany, and against the status
quo. If the fascists are able to win
a majority, by hook or crook and
by terror, then they will seek to
march in with their armed force
in order to present the world with
an accomplished fact, under the
claim of moral justifica ton. If tbs
vote goes against them, they will fol-
low on the same path of attempted
armed invasion, claiming fraud in
the plebiscite.
THE candidates of the Indian Ma.
l tional Congress are recording
big gains in the elections for the
Indian Legislative Assembly, which
are still in progress, reports from
London state. The final results
will not be known until after mid
December.
