show the whole world that while
the bourgeoisie is adopting the
course of war the class struggle CT
the workers of the capitalist coun-
tries is assuming increasingly ACME
forms. The front Of the fighting
classes is constantly extending. The
aims of the struggle are becoming
higher. 1t is question Of ssrug-
gle for power. Civil war between
the bourgeoisie and the prcletari2t
is becoming the order of the day.
The workers of France and AUS
tria, strongest and weakest of capital
list countries, prove the reality OF
how high the revolutionary wave has
risen in Europe, how great are the
contradictions between the classes,
how near is the proletarian reyolu-
ton.
Only One Way for Workers
There is only one way in this
struggle of the workers and toilers
against the bourgeoisie, namely, the
overthrow Of the dictatorship of Che
bourgeoisie, and the establishment of
the dictatorship of the proletariat.
The middle line, the line Of Social
Democracy. as events in Austria and
Germany testify, means the decep-
ton Of the workers, and leads to-
ward Fascism.
Workers Must Be MerciIess
The working class must finally
realize that the bourgeoisie in its
struggle for power knows and recog-
nizes no mercy toward the working
class; that it is ready to apply every
kind of fe-ocity to keep the workers
chained.
The working class must realize that
il also must be .nlerciless toward the
pourgecisie; that &c nleroiless strug-
gle. With the bourgaoisle and its
chained dogs-the fascists-is the
command which it must carry out
to the utmost. if it does not wish to
remain the slave of the bourgeoisie.
If the workers of Europe realize
this truth, they will win. Such are
the lessons of the Austrian events
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-02-20

and exploited masses of all countries
of the world are expressing their
fighting solidarity with the Austrian
proletarianS who demonstrated the
gigantic strength which is latent in
the working class.
The revolt of the Austrian work
ers demolishes all the arguments of
the Social-fascist deceivers that the
working masses do not wish to fight
against fascism. In the light Of the
struggle Of the Austrian proletariat,
the activity of the German Social
Democracy appears increasingly
criminal Although 1t had in its con-
troll not only the main organizations
of the workers, but even the state
machinery and the police, it refused
TO struggle under the pretext that
the working class needs no struggle
for power, but only agreement with
The bourgeoisie."
The armed revolt of the Austrian
proletariat further demonstrated that
the working class is able to carry on
a struggle against all the modern
military engines of the capitalists. 1t
established the real united front OF
rank and file Social Democratic
workers and Communists, and in the
!, progress of the struggle it showed
that where there is revolutionary
struggle the Communists are always
in the first ranks.
The events i'll Austria are of
great International political import
ance. They show the bourgeoisie
what awaits it in case of war; how
shaly and feeble is its rear. They
testify to the change of attitude
of wide masses toward the strug-
gle against the capitalist system
ard for the dictatorship Of the
proletariat.
They show how great is the in
fluence OF the example Of the Soviet
Union on the entire international
prcletariat. They show what great
forces are latent In the working
class.

By BUrck

BRUSSELS, Feb. 1e.-As prepara-
tions were being made to bury King
Albert Of Belgium, Europe's biggest
slave owner, Thursday, and to crown
his son Leopold king on Friday, the
Communist Party of Belgium is re-
ported to have called on all Belgian
workers not to recognize the new
monarch, and to demand republic.
At the same time Emile Wander
velde, chairman of the executive
committee Of the Socialist Interna-
tional, groveled in obeisance to the
dead slave master Of the Belgian
Congo and his successor, and said
II see no reason why Leopold III
should not carry out the program Of
his illustrious father. I think King
Albert was the foremost statesman

Special TO the Daily wOrkerl


MOSCOW, Feb. 10 (By Radio =
Under the title, 1.-THE Lessons Of the
Armed Struggle of the Workers of
Austria, y 'Pravda," daily newspaper
of the Communist Party Of the Soviet
Union, wrote yesterday:
The February armed struggle Of
the Austrian proletariat revealed how
far the progress of the ripening rev.
dictionary crisis has gone. how deeply
the entire system Of capitalism is
shaken, how firm is the resolution Of
the proletariat to break this system.
The atmosphere of the capitalist
world has become superheated.
Masses WIN Not Be Restrained
Social Democracy will not succeed
ID keeping back the masses from
energetic, resolute action, even from
direct armed struggle for power for
the working class. The European
and world bourgeoisie is finally en-
tangled in its contradictions It
chooses the road Of imperialist wars,
the road of civil wars against the
working class.
But If the bourgeoisie selects the
patb of war, the working class of
the capitalist countries, brought to
desperation by four years of crisis
and unemployment, will enter the
road of revolution" said COmrade
Stain at the 18th Congress of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union. "This means that the rev.
.olutionary crisis Is ripening, and
will ripen. And the revolutionary
crisis is ripening, and win ripen.
And the revolutionary crisis will
ripen the faster. the more the
bourgeoisie become embroiled in its
war combinations, the more fire.
quentIyy it resorts to terroristic
methods of struggle against the
working class and toiling peasants"
The Austrian events are a most
striking proof Of the analysis given by
Conrade Stain at the nth Party
Congress. They ara p brilliant con-

Social Democrats educated by Social
Democracy in the spirit of the de-
Tense of legality allowed the Dollfuss
government to divide the rebels into
Isolated parts.
Workers Draw Conclusion
The working masses now draw a
corresponding conclusion from the
Austrian armed revolt. 1t serves
them as an object lesson of how to
fight and conquer. One object lesson
consists in this, that the ranks of
the proletariat must be cleared of
the traitors, the Social Democratic
leaders.
The armed revolt Of the Austrian
workers is the first stage of a new
phase of gigantic class battles Of
the prcletariat against fascism, for
Soviet power.
The DolIfuss victory is pyrrhic
victory. Austrian FasciSln under
stands this, and this is why Fascism
has unleashed SO great a reign OF
terror. Austrian Fascism brings to
life the darkest crimes of Theirs
Galliffet, and MacMahon, the butch
ers of the heroic Paris Commune. 1t
is striving to exceed the crimes Of
these executioners, whose very names
call forth a curse from every worker
The miserable. despicable Austrian
bou-geoisie wishes to enter history as
the most ferocious, bloody watchdog
of capitalism.
Austrian Pr0letariat Not Alone
However. the Austrian proletariat
does not stand alone. Its immortal
exploits of heroism arc a burning
bright light over Europe. The world
proletariat is siding with the fight
ing Austrian workers. The oppressed

themselves compelled to take the
initiative in their own hands, GER
tainly did not think for one moment
about a struggle for the dictatorship
of the proletariat.
They wanted to frighten the bour-
geoisie little, to frighten the fas-
cists and force them to "a peaceful,
constitutional solution of the political
crisis"
This maneuver failed. The logic
of actual events and the objective
situation were seen to be stronger
than the Social Democratic leader
ship; the protest had grown into a
tremendous armed struggle of the
workers against the bourgeoisie.
Masses Ready
The revolutionary determination
Of the workers is now so great that
the "well-intentioned" Social Demo-
cratic liberals are losing control Of
the movement whenever they attempt
to bring the workers out into the
streets, and the iron logic Of the
struggle takes command.
The situation in capitalist Eu-
rope is revolutionary to such an
extent that at the slightest appeal
the masses throw off the liberal
prattle of the Social Democracy
and begin talking to the ruling
classes in the language of Boz
SheviSm.
The example of the events in
France is indicative in this regard.
The leaders of the French Socialist
Party did not, and do not think
about struggle for the dictatorship of
the proletariat. Under the pressure
of the rank and file they were COM
PEELED to declare a general strike.
What was the result? A tremen-

% in an interesting game in the
Americna University gymnasium.
Their best playing Of the sea-
son, opine these same American
University followers. Why, it had
to be or else a triumph could not
have been chalked up.
At that, the victory was the first
recorded by the Eagles this sea-
son. The Eagles played a con-
servative game and mixed it up a
bit by flashing a passing attack
that reSembled American Univer-
sity passing attacks of the vivid
past.
Every Eagle performer figured
in the scoring. Hill and Sampson
gathered six points each. Cramp-
ton was next with five, Reinard
collected four, Porter three, and
Wheatley two.

a trump last night when the

in getting started, but after the

ahead by a comfortable margin.
The score at half time was 13 to

the Cards. Ed White was another
who figured prominently.

NN4ASN
One, he modestly admits, is
himself.
The other is none other than
the kingfish of the Chicago fish
markets, King Levinsky.
The Livermore Adonis doesn't
concede Tommy Loughran much
of a chance against the Man
Mountain in their forthcoming
scrap at Miami.
"Carnera is much too big for
Tommy" Baer claims, Besides
weight and reach, the Italian
will also have youth in his
favor. LOughran, though as
clever and brainy as ever, is
past his prime. His Splen-
did legs which once easily car
ried him out Of danger, no
longer respond with the alacrity
of yOre.
BAD 1HEDICINE
"T'"e Kingfish is bad medicine
for any fighter for you never
know when one Of those terrific
rights is going to smack you on
the button" Max, who has
mixed it 18th the Kingfish
twice, explains, 81 should know,
he clipped me once with one Of
them in our first scrap and l
didn't feel particularly glad
over it,"
Baer describes that lethal right
at length.
"LevinSky wields it like a
sIedge hammer, and he seems
to throw it clean across the
ring. He may be a dozen steps
away from you and then all Of
a sudden that right whizzes by
your ear and If you aren't on
your toes, it's just too bad"
However, Baer wouldn't be a
bit surprised if Max Schmeling
kayos the Windy City fish-haWker
if they ever meet.
"Levinsky lacks polish. A fin
ished performer, Spry and alert
like Schmeling shouldn't be
caught unawareS by that deadly
right" says the Californian.
Eyes Light Up
When his prospective bout for
the worlds title with Camera is
mentioned, Baer's eyes light up
and his face creases into his
broad, infectious smile. He cries
ecstastically:
ooh, boy, think of it. With a
worlds championship for an
incentive. I'd quit everything
and go up in the mountains and
walk, climb, run, develop my
lungs, and liven the spring in
my legs. Then several weeks
down in the training camp to
sharpen up my eyes and boxing
technique and then the scrap.
Maybe 1 might not win but /
am certainly going to put up
terrific battle for it,"
If the Camera fight is ar
ranged, Max wants to engage in
a tune-up battle with some lesser
light, probably Steve Hamas.
Hans Neusel, the new German
ring invader, spoiled Baer'S finest
warm-up bout when he defeated
Ray Impelletiere, the young giant.
The Imp'S style is a fair imitation
of Cameras and his size would
have provided Baer with a golden
opportunity to gain some valuable
pointers on how to fight a man
of the champions massive bulk.
