The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-11-09

en- the fighting power of the wage
earning and farming masses on the
immediate issues, in particular
against the growing arrogance of
the imperialist ascendancy and its
fascist allies among the business
and propertied classes, as expressed
by the naked fascist propaganda in
the press and in definite action by
the pro-imperialist land holders,
who are conducting what amounts
almost to q campaign of guerilla
civil war under the leadership of
the fascists.
"It has long been the opinion of
the Communist Party and advanced
workers generally, that in view of
the events on the continent, where
in a number of countries the ruling
classes have called the fascists to
power and destroyed for the time
being the organizations created by
years of working class effort, and in
view of the undisguiSed support
given by the wealthy classes and
their newspapers to the fascist Or
CARNATIONS here and the liberation
afforded these counter revolution
aries by the policy of the present
Southern" Government and the
judicial apparatus of the State, that
there is an obligation on all sec
tons Of the labor and anti-impe-
rialist movements to make common
cause to defeat this menace to the
liberties of the working class.
Example of Joint Action In France
I'VE would further draw the at
tention of your Conference and Ad-
ministrative Council to the fact that
in France the Socialists and Com
munistS by means of joint united
front action have frustrated the eff
forts Of the reactionaries and the
pro-faScist government of national
union in their designs on the demo-
cratic rights of the French workers;
in Spain the various workers organ
izations have established a joint
body for the purpose Of common ac-
ton; in the United States the So
cialist Party and the Communist
Party have entered into agreements
and in Great Britain unity exists
between the Communist Party and
the I. L. P, although the majority
of the Labor Party leaders have not
yet followed the examples of the
French and Spanish.
"At the present time the Labor
and Socialist International with
which we believe your Party main
tains some relations) and the Com
munist International with which
our Party is affiliated) are consid-
ering jointly what action can be
undertaken internationally in de-
tense of the Spanish workers:
In view of these facts and the
Administrative Councils draft res
olution declaring for a Workers
Republic and the expressed resolve
to combat the Fascist menace, the
Central Committee of the Commu-
mist Party of Ireland advances the
following suggestions for your con-
sideration, in the sincere belief that
along these or similar lines the
working class front can be unified
and strengthened against the dan
gers now threatening and the way
opened for the realisation of Re-
public in which the toilers will be
the ruling class, the Workers and
Farmers Republic.
Practical Proposals
"Our suggestions are as follows:
"ta) That steps be taken to or
ganize a nationwide campaign by
means of demonstrations, meetings
and written propaganda, explaining
the anti-working class character OF
Fascism and rousing the masses tc
daily struggle against it.
