Special to the Daily Worker

MOSCOW, Feb. % (By Cable. -
The entire Soviet press today dedi-
Gates numerous articles to the cele-
bration of the Sixteenth Anniversary
of the Red Army. On this occasion,
'IzveStia," central organ of the Soviet
Government, writes:
To-day the youngest and strongest
army in the world-naInely the ARMY
Of the Proletarian Revolution =
glancing backward upon the path
that it has pursued, verifies its readi-
ness for future tests. This army is
ready to defend the frontiers of this
Socialist country; it is a mighty force,
guarding the interests of millions of
masses of working humanity. 1t is
the only army that is not seeking
war, but which is always on guard
for peace.
I'm 1918 Lenin wrote that the
armed workers constitute the en-
bryo of new army, the organiza-
tional cell of a new social regime. /"
At the present moment this organi-
rational cell has become firmly
welded into a splendidly armed or
ganization existing within the limits
of this new social regime, serving as
the best weapon of the proletarian
dictatorship, in defense of the social
ist regime against possible attacks
of the enemy from without.
The might of our Red Army is
the might of our country; it consti-
tutes barrier to violators of peace
and at the same time a source of
courage for those throughout the
world who are fighting against the
danger of imperialist war. Now
when the pages of the bourgeois press
abound with the world war" when
the problem Of preparation for wal
is very often openly and still more
often furtively the subject of wide
debates in bourgeois parliaments
when it is the theme for books and
speeches of influential politicians fol-
imperialism = Peace" remains the
leading slogan of the Soviet Union
and It's army.

all known functionaries in the la
Dor movement were arrested, work
ers' presses were closed and DESTROYED
and all labor organizations sup
porting the class struggle were de-
clared illegal, with the explanation
that they were perineated by COM
munism. The most ignorant, stupid
and demoralized elements Of the
countryside were at the forefront In
this hue and cry. They took labor
functionaries for a ride" to the
borders of the Soviet Union, they tor
tured and thrashed them they car
ried out all kinds of unthinkable
villainies against the workers, even
numbering them.
This took place in the name of
"purging the fatherland of Commun-
ism" The best known leaders of the
bourgeoisie, the President, the min
listers, ETC., were secretly behind these
fascist scoundrels. 1t is known. for
example, that the President of Fin
land, P. E. Svinhufvud, directly took
part in leading these fascist rogues.

Offer Ne Protest to the
OutIawing of the
Communists
BY R. PEsOLA

1t is well known how the Social
Democratic leaders Of Austria be-
trayed the Austrian proletariat, the
poor and middle peasants and the
bankrupt petty bourgeoisie.
That chain of betrayals begins from
the time of the World War and ex-
tends to the present, when the bloody
fascist dictatorship of DollfuSS is
shedding the blood of the Austrian
proletariat and strengthening its fas-
cist machinery for the oppression and
enslavement of the working masses.
At the conclusion of the World
War, the Austrian Social-Democratic
leaders, Friedrich Adler and Otto
Bauer, explained that it would be a
simple matter for the Austrian pro-
letariat to seize power and form a
dictatorship sf the proletariat. But,
they explained, this should not be
done since the country has been torn
to pieces by Che war, and the task Of
IL should be left to the
bourgeoisie. When the country has

Soviet FlierS Here
To Start on Arctic
Rescue Mission
Famous Explorer Tells
Press of Plans To
Fly to Arctic

NEW YORK. - Two Soviet f1iers
and one arctic explorer, who arrived
here wednesday aboard the Olympic,
awaited orders yesterday from the
Soviet government to proceed to
Nome, Alaska, to aid in the rescue of
101 members of Prof. Schmidts arctic
expedition who are stranded on an
ice foe 200 miles west of Point Hope.
The fliers, Sigismund Levanevsky,
who aided in the rescue of James
Mattern when he was stranded in
Siberia; Maricius Slepnev, an out
standing arctic pilot, and Professor
George Ushakov, told the press of
their aims in an Office of the An1torg
Trading Corporation yesterday after
noon.
To Rescue Expedition
Professor Ushakov told the aims of
the group 1--WE are instructed by our
government to lead one of the groups
to assist in the rescue of Professor
Schmidt's expedition" he said.
Schmidt sailed from Leningrad to
go through the Northern Sea and
then through the Boring Straits to
the far east. He nearly fulfilled his
aims, but was blocked by heavy ice
floes. The ice smashed the steamer on
February IS and the expedition was
forced to disembark. They had suf-
f1cieHs time to unload warm clothes,
food and material for portable houses.
The expedition is living in portable
houses unloaded from the steamer
which later sunk
Fourteen Planes to Rescue
Prof. Ushakov stated he did not
know when his group would leave.
I'VE will perhaps go to Nome direct
by aeroplane" he said I'VE expect
to land on the ice and take small
groups to the U. S. S. R. Fourteen
planes have already left Vladivostok
by steamer for jumping point near
the ice foe and three have flown
to the point and are waiting to jump
off on the rescue mission. These
planes have been held up for few
days by the stormy weather"

The mockery of the German fas-

her ardent desire to see her son free

Open Worldwide Week
Of Struggle To Free
Ernst Thaelmann

NEW. YORK.-TWo thousand work
ers massed in front of the German
Consulate Saturday, to protest against
the Imprisonment of Ernst Thael-
mann and Ernst Torgler and to de-
mand the freeing of all political
prisoners in fascist Germany. In
spite of an appointment made by
telephone Friday, the Consul General
was out" An attempt to break up
the ranks Of the workers by a gang
Of hoodlums failed, as the parade
marched from Battery Place to Rut-
gers Square, although Harry Bayiin-
son, Post 1911 of the Workers Ex-
Servicemen'S League, and two by
ISLANDERS were badly dubbed by
mounted policemen.
While the workers, who represented
trade unions and mass organizations,
sang revolutionary songs in front of
II Battery Place, a delegation of five,
composed Of John Little, representing
the Young Communist League, which
called the demonstration; Bertha
KipniS, the American Committee to
Aid Victims of German Fascism;
Gladys Fabri, Irish Workers Club;
Reggie Thomas, the League of Strug-
gle for Negro Rights; Mates Bruce,
the International Labor Defense, and
S, Bydarian for the Communist Party
went to the office of the official New
York representative Of Hitler faScism
Consulate Closed
When they reached German Con-
sulS office, the door opened and the
big face of a police officer peered out.
''The case is closed" he said loudly.
A nervous consulate employee, stand
ing well behind the policeman's bulk
squeaked, "All, all are gone," and re-
fused to take the resolution presented
by the delegation, which returned to
the street and reported this to the
workers. A resolution was passed I'M
animously by them, calling for the
freeing of the nine Scottsboro Boys
who are victims Of the same capitalist
terror as the German capitalists are
now using against the working class
of Germany.
Cops Club MarcherS
Singing the International, the work
ers fell into line and paraded towards
Rutgers Square. At Madison ST., a
missile was hurled and a gang of
hoodluns darted from door way and
began fight in the ranks. Mounted
police let the hoodlums go ahead and
then the police started clubbing the
marchers. One of New York's Fin
est" shield No. 1854, said to an at
tacker, you're outnumbered Sam =

onlooker had his glasses broken and
driven into his face by heavy club
and another worker was also beaten
The workers held their ranks and
proceeded to Rutgers Square, where
speakers addressed them briefly
pointing out that fascism was not
confined to Europe, and that the
working class must fight against Its
development in America.

Fearing Masses, Court
Reverses Death
Sentences

BERLIN, March 4.-Proof OF the
mass hatred of the murderouS pro-
gram of the Nazis is given in the
fact that the German Supreme Court
yesterday yoided sentences of death
passed by the criminal court Of Des-
sau against 10 Communists.
The Supreme Court declared the
Nazis could not justify this legal
mass murder before the German
masses, and voided the sentences on
the grounds that the verdict con-
tanned a glazing defect.
The Supreme Court, in its opin-
ion, did not declare itself opposed to
the Nazi murder program but in
sisted that legal murders must be
carried out in a more careful fashion
by the Nazi courtE.

New Spanish Cabinet
Further Step Toward
Reaction and Fascism

MADRID, March 4.-Spain's new
cabinet, headed again by Alexandra
LerToux, is a Cabinet committed to
repeating or modifying the labor and
anti-clerical laws, and to carry out
an amnesty Of royalist prisoners. The
new Cabinet was announced yester-
day.
It has eliminated the only two
members who were opposed to this
program, but does not include the
openly fascist party OF Gil Robes.
1t will attempt to carry out It's re-
dictionary measures without the open
fascists, for fear Of the militant OPP
position of the workers to the Gil
Robes party.

specia, to the Daily Worker

MOSCOW, March 4 (By Cable).-
Before leaving for a prolonged cure
in a Soviet sanitorium, George Dirni-
troff. sitting in his Moscow room,
yesterday made the following state
ment in an interview with your CORE
spondent:
''The fight for the liberation Of
Ernst ThaeImann and thousands OF
other revolutionary workers impris-
Oned in Fascist Germany must con-
tinue unabated. My earnest con-
victiOn is that the question Of free
ing Thaelmann is the question OF
the revolutionary honor Of the
world proletariat.
Surely he added, revolutionary
workers and all honest people among
the irteuectuals who fought for the
release of the Leipzig defendants
fought not only for Dimitroff, Torg-
Ter, Popoff and Taneff-it was a
struggle against German Fascism,
the expression of sympathy with the
valiant struggle carried on by the
German revolutionary proletariat."
Dimitroff spoke at length Of his
experiences. Although completely
isolated prior to and during the trial,
with only Nazi papers to read, he
sensed the tremendous struggle being
waged in his and his comrades be-
helf This strengthened him in his
fight and added to his determination
TO turn the world tribunal, intended
by the NaziS to discredit the Com
munist Party, into tribunal to ex-
pose the Nazi incendiaries.
Dimitroff also told Of numerous
tokens of workers solidarity reaching
him even in prison, despite the
vigilance of the jailers, and spoke Of
stimulating Moscow impressions after
a two-year absence.

George Dimitroff's aged mother and
sister and Basil Taneff's wife ar
rived here from Berlin yesterday and
we're greeted at the Moscow station
by groups Of welcoming workers.
Among those who met them on their
arrival were relatives of the Bull

and groups Of women workers from

The arrival of the three made clear

to visit the prisoners on the very day
