Central Committee Halls
American Paper in
Fight on Fascism

ZURICH. Switzerland. On the
Tenth Anniversary of the fighting
organ Of the workers and toAlers of
the u S. A, the Daily Worker, the
Central Committee Of the COMMIT
mist Party of Germany send you its
heartfelt revolutionary greetings.
The American bourgeoisie, like the
bourgeoiSie throughout the capitalist
world, is looking for way out Of
the growing crisis through the in
creased exploitation and oppression
Of the toiling masses and through
preparation for a new imperialist
war.
The need and misery of the factory
workers, the farmers and the unem-
ployed are growing with enormous
strides. In this process class fronts
are becoming increasingly greater.
The betrayal Of the trade union bu-
reaucracy and the Social-Democracy
and their support to the capitalist
offensive through the New Deal are
becoming more evident to the work
ing class every day.
In their struggle against exploita-
ton, oppression and war, the work
ers and toilers of America now see
more clearly that there is only one
Party which relentlessly fights
against the bourgeoisie-the Com
munist Party Of the U.S.A. There is
only one paper which consistently
tights the battle against the impov-
erishment of the masses, against cap
italism and imperialist war-the bat
tie for Socialism. This organ is the
Daily Worker.
The Daily Worker is the voice, the
revolutionary champion Of the work.
ing class in the Party'S struggles In
the daily fight Of the workers and
farmers against pauperization, in the
fight for the establishment Of class
trade unions.
With HitlerS seizure OF power and
the establishment of an open fascist
dictatorship in Germany. the bour-
geoise suppressed the Communist
Party of Germany and every Com
munist paper that still appeared IL
legally. Fascism recognized the greet
Importance of the revolutionary press
and that is why it has suppressed it.
But illegal newspapers of the revolu-
tionary workers and the poor farmers
are being printed in thousands of
copies in spite Of the most brutal
persecution.
The central organ Of the Com
munist Party Of Germany, the
"Rote Fahne," appears regularly.
The workers and poor peasants, at
the risk of their lives, publish their
Illegal newspapers In the factories,
the unemployment exchanges, the
villages and through their block
committees.
In the hands Of the revolutionary
workers the press is q powerful
weapon in the struggle against the
fascist dictatorship as well as the
treacherous social democracy.

says;
'yrhe whole situation in the capt.

Economic Wars Raging
"The growing parasitic role Of the
capitalist state is becoming ever
clearer to the toiling masses Econom-

being aggravated.
THE imperialist chain is being
shattered in the West and East. The
Versailles system is collapsing. The
Geneva conference is dead. The Jap

Maturing of World Revolutionary

Hence, the new aggravation Of the
