The same confidant goes further
and admits Roosevelt may abandon
democratic pretenses: Orderly re-
adjustment by democratic methods
may turn out to be impossible Of
achievement" Then, Of course, will
come fascist dictatorship.
These are the problems that the
American working class and toiling
farmers face in the second year of
the New Deal. The capitalists are
rapidly speeding to fascism and war
as way out Of the crisis. The pro-
letariat, in the most powerful cita-
dels Of American capitalism, weighed
down by the most corrupt A. F. Of
L. trade union leadership in the
world, by Socialist leaders who have
been among Roosevelt's closest
allies, have taken the road of strug-
giles and strikes.
Only the Communist Party, day
by day, as well as from the very
beginning of the New Deal, clearly
forecast its role, branded it as the
rule Of inance-capital, directed
against the workers. Only the Com
munist Party tore the mask of
demagogy from the face of the New
Deal and revealed behind it the
developing fascist organs. Only the
Communist Party took the lead in
urging the workers to struggle
against the N.R.A. and the whole
New Deal, fighting every betrayer
in the ranks of labor, leading the
most militant strikes, and providing
the best leadership within the A. F.

ers for struggle. Only the Com
munist Party led the revolutionary
struggle against capitalism by point
ing and directing the workers
against every Shiny move Of the New

In fighting against the increas-
ingly fascist measures Of the Roose-

warnings Of the 18th Plenum Reso-

In the fight against the fas-
CITATION of the sO-called demo-
cratic countries, the Communist
Parties must first of all brush
aside the fatalist, defeatist line
OF the inevitability of a fascist
dictatorship and imperialist war
and also the OppOrtunist under
estimation of the tempo of fas-
citation and the threat of i'm
perialist war, which condemn the
Communist Parties TO passivity."
The New York Herald
Tribune editoriany summing up
Rooseyelt's first year in power SAYS:
BY his voice, by his laugh, by
his confidence, he has transformed
the mood Of the country. He de-
serves high credit for the miracle. "
When the unemployed starve he
let's them hear his voice and his
laugh. AS the Draft Resolution of
the Central Committee of the COM
munist Party puts it:
Under cover of the most
shameless demagogy, Roosevelt
and the capitalists carry through
drastic attacks upon the living
standards Of the masses, increased
terrorism against the Negro
masses, increased political oppres-
sion and systematic denial Of ex-
isting civil rights, and are
strengthening the control Of big
mOnOpOlists over the economic
and political life of the country"
The tremendous rehabilitation of
the American workers, its rapid
establishment with the Roosevelt
promises, its bitter experience with
Roosevelt's strikebreaking, presents
the Communist Party with the most
favorable opportunity of organizing
and leading the masses for the
revolutionary way out, for the road
to Soviet Power.
