Dor, of Minnesota in letter made pub
lie yesterday that the Farm Admins

johnson, former United States Sen

sands Of farmers whom the processing
tax should have brought benefits, but
that instead it had been borne by
them"
This has been true because the Ag-

cidedly ineffective and the law which
was passed to aid them has, instead,
become q burden" johnson wrote.

Austrian Workers

NEW YORK - Denouncing the

and children by the Austrian fascists
and declaring solidarity with the
Austrian working class fighters, the
National Committee to Aid Victims
Of German Fascism issued call yes
terday to the whole working class OF
the U.S.A., to all sympathizers Of the
struggle against fascisrn, to rally In
gigantic protests throughout the
country in defense Of the victims OF

Speaking for IT organizations

ship Of over 100000, the National
Committee to Aid Victims of German
Fascism sent the following cablegram
Of protest to Chancellor Engelbert
Dollfuss of Austria.
1.-THE National Committee to Aid
Victims Of German FaScism speak

tanning 100000 workers and SYM

forces finally to smash fascism in
Austria?
What Did Workers Lack?
What did the Austrian proletariat
lack in order to completely utilize it's
forces to defeat the enemy? They
lacked real revolutionary leadership,
correct revolutionary slogans indicat-
ing the way, and mobilizing the
masses.
The leaders of Austrian Social
Democracy have so far succeeded
with the aid of the most dexterous
demagogy to keep back the masses
from joining with the Communists.
When the revolt began, the Social
Democratic leaders again betrayed
the workers.
The Austrian Social Democracy in
reality wished neither a general
strike nor an armed revolt. During
six days of battles by the workers
of Austria, it never ceased to speak
of the necessity to restrict them tC
a defense of democracy" thereby
disorganizing the ranks Of those who
had revolted.
Masses Aim Beyond Democracy"
The objective of the wide masses
of the Austrian proletariat aims fal
beyond bourgeois democracy. This
objective has been propagated, Gno
is still propaga5ed only by the Com
muniSts, who fought in the first
ranks of the revolt as the most de-
voted fighters Of the working class.
But the small Austrian Conmu-
mist Party was unable to create 8
united, centralized revolutionary
leadership of the revolt which ex-
tended over the entire country. Con-
sequently the rising workers self

dous general strike occurred in
which, according to incomplete
data, four million workers and
tOiIers participated. A tremendous
movement of the proIetariat has
been started under the slogan For
Soviets." In France also, the
workers are throwing off the bour-
geois radical phraseology of the
leaders of the Socialist Party, and
are raising the slogans of Boil
Shevism.
The events i'll Austria and France
once more confirm the correctness Of
the thesis of Lenin that under the
conditions of present-day monop-
olistic capitalism the struggle be-
tween classes can only be carried on
either for the dictatorship Of the
bourgeoisie, or for the dictatorship Of
the proletariat.
Social Democracy Helps Bourgeoisie
The middle line, the line of Social
Democracy, constitutes a deception
of the workers, which only helps the
bourgeoisie to consolidate its DOM
nation. This is very characteristic
of the modern situation. This is
characteristic of the Austrian events
and Of the events in France.
The international Social Democ-
racy is attempting now to utilize
the revolt of the Austrian proletariat
in order to cover up with workers
blood the black spots of the treach-
cry of the Second International.
Is it not clear that the revolt of
the Austrian proletariat constitutes an
indictment against the entire inter
national Social Democracy? Is it
not clear that it was due to its
treachery that the Austrian working
class could not utilize its tremendous

seriousness of the masses"
How did these events develop?
How did the masses of the Austrian
workers behave on the eve of revolt?
How did the Social Democracy be-
have?
S. p. Leaders Expose Selves
We find the reply to these Ques-
tons in an article which appeared
on Feb. Is in the Prague Social
Democrat" The editor indicates that
this article was penned by zone Of
the leaders of Austrian Social Dem
ocracy" It is q damning document,
exposing these leaders. Getting large
excerpts of this article, "Pravda"
continues) We have here docu-
mentsry confirmation that the lead
ers of Austrian Social Democracy,
having found themselves between
two fires-the pressure of fascist re-
action and the tremendous, steadily
growing pressure on the part of the
working nasses-were forced to agree
to the declaration of a general strike
Strike Despite Leaders
The general strike and the armed
struggle of the Schutzbund and the
Austrian workers against the Dollfuss
government grew from the attempts
of the leaders of the Social Democ-
racy to protest within the frame
work OF legality, within the frame
work Of the law, against the disarm-
ament of the Schutzbund and the
dissolution Of the municipal admins
tration of Vienna.
We know now that the strike began
at time when the Socialist Party
leadership was still discussing the
question whether or not a strike
should be declared. The question
of the strike, according to the state
ment Of Otto Bauer, Social-Delno-
cratic leader, was decided by ma
jority of only one vote.
The Bauers and company, finding
