The inquiry Commission
and Thaelmann

THREE days ago the American Inquiry
L Commission, composed of eight noted
American jurists, issued statement call
ing for the release of Ernst Thaelmann,
leader of the German Communist Party
After condemning Hitlers Peoples
Courts" as an instrument of "legalized
murder" the statement read:
"onIy the freeing of Ernst Thaelmann and
the others similarly held on such vague grounds
can possibly satisfy the demands for justice in
accordance with established practices IN the civil
lied world"
Are the men who made up that Commission
Communists
No, far from it.
They were mostly liberals with one or two con-
servatives. Some of them are noted for their anti
Communist speeches and writings
There's Clarence Darrow, chairman OF the Com
mission, recently resigned from the N R. A. board.
There's Arthur Garfield Hays, members of the
Civil Liberties Union, who recently defended Nazs
in court.
There's Dudley Field Malone who has defended
the Nazis' right to free speech" and who is no
friend of Communists. George z. Medalie, Senator
Costigan and Roger Baldwin were also on the Com
mission.
These men called for Thaelmann's freedom be-
cause Thaelmann is the symbol of anti-fascist
struggle in Germany today.
That the condemnation of the Nazis so-calIed
Peoples" Courts was coupled, in the Commits
sions statement, with the demand for Thaelmann's
liberation, is indicative of the growing mass de-
mand for the freedoms of Thaemann, who SYM
bolizes to the world as head of the Communist
Party of Germany, the leader in the struggle for
the liberation of the German people from fascism.
The decision of the Commission comes at the
very moment when the personnel of the Hitler
gme has been revealed IN all its depravity and
bestiality. 1t comes at the moment when the acts
of Hitler long directed at workers. Communists,
liberals and Jews, now visited against the fore
most Naz statesmen, thereby blasting any preten-
sion to the existence of any kind of rule in Ger
many except the rule of hooliganism and perver-
Sion
The increased world wide reyulson against the
Nazis on the part of workers and the petty-bour-
geosie is translated simultaneously into growing
sympathy for the fighters against fascism for the
underground German Communist Party led by
Ernst Thaelmann, which alone leads the German
workers in the struggle against Hters bloody rule
The Commissions declaration is an acknowI-
edgment of the fact of which the American
masses, together with the everywhere are
becoming and convinced.

Especial to the Daily wOrker)

TORONTO, Canada, July 6-The
Canadian government now admits
that eleven shots had been fired
into the cell of Tim Buck, secre-
tary of the Illegal Communist
Party of Canada, and one of the
Kingston Seven, sentenced to long
terms in Kingston Penitentiary for
their working class activities.
TIL Canadian Labor nefense
League several months ago charged
the authorities with attempting to
murder Tim Buck. A. E. Smith,
secretary of the League, was ar
rested, charged with libeling the
authorities for telling of the shoot
ings, but was acquitted as a result
of mass protests throughout Can
ada and the United States.
Five thousand workers turned out
at Union Station, this city, to well
come Sam Carr and Matthew Pop
ovich, two of the Kingston Seven,
released on sick leave, following a
flood of resolutions and protest
kilograms to the government de-
handing the release of the Seven.
The police attacked the demon
stration, beating many workers
with whips and clubs and arrested
five.
In spite of the attack, the work
ers, carrying red flags, marched to
Queens Park where Carr spoke.
Popovich was unable to attend be-
cause of serious illness as a result
of torture in jail.
In his address to the workers,
Carr openly declared himself a
Communist, continuing his defiance
of the government which has made
membership in the Communist
Party criminal offense to be pun
ished by long prison terms. He
appealed to the Canadian workers
to intensity the fight to free Ernst

NaziS Exile Worker
TOFinniSh FaSCiStS
Faces Long Jail Term;
Only Protests Can
Save Him

NEW YORK-A Finnish comrade,
Milo Wirtanen, has been arrested
in Germany. Wirtanen took an
active part in the Finnish civil war.
After the Finnish revolution was
suppressed in blood with the ex-
tensive assistance of German and
Swedish White troops, he fled, to-
gether with many others, to the
Soviet Union, where he has since
resided, as he could not return to
Finland on account of his revolu-
tionary activities.
Some time ago, Wirtanen was
travelling via Germany and on that
account stopped in Berlin for a few
days. There he was arrested by the
police as suspicious" foreigner
for using false passport and for
alleged carrying on political activ-
ity. After an Investigation" which
lasted for months, during which
Wirtanen was subjected to all the
horrors of the fascist prison hell, he
was convicted for the crime" of
having used a false passport.
Now, after Wirtanen had served
his sentence in Germany, he is to
be handed over directly to the Fin
nish fascist authorities. AS he is
hated by the Finnish bourgeoisie on
account of his participation in the
revolutionary struggle in Finland
and in the socialist construction of
the Soviet Union, he is menaced by
long prison sentence of at least
10 years in Finland.
A mighty protest movement must
be developed against this incredible
aggression of the German author
tiles, against the threatened sur
render of Wirtanen to Finland. Milo
Wirtanen must not be handed over
to the Finnish fascist police! The
international Red Aid calls upon
all its Sections, all organizations of
the toilers, to take a stand against
this shameless action. Through a
mighty protest movement, demon
STATIONS, meetings, through letters
of protest, etc., Milo Wirtanen must
be rescued from the claws of Ger
man and Finnish fascism!

FasciSm in Germany meant catastrophe, and the
catastrophe meant the end of German capitalism.
His daily record of the servile support of the
German Social Democratic leaders, fully exposed by
the Communist Party of Germany at each stage of
the betrayals of the Socialist bootckers is here
confirmed from intimate connection with these
scoundrels. So despcable were these betrayers of
the workers in the eyes of their own masters that
they looked upon them the most pliable lackeys
to be used without question, and to be thrown into
the garbage when their services were no longer
required.
It's not pretty story that is told, no more than
the present events that are unfolding for the
whole world to see. Rotten, decaying capitalism
congenitally degenerate to it's marrow, can find no
other means of preserving its bankrupt system
than through the agency of the most depraved
perverse, gangsters and cutthroats the most de-
graded human beings who slaughter their best
friends and servitors.
For all this, the workers of Germany can thank
the Socialist Party leaders, who even when Hitler
was already in power before the Reichstag fire
manned true to their class collaboration policy to
the last, refusing to join the united front call for
general strike which could have swept this scum
from the face of the earth

Author Speaks AS Militarist

day to day horse trading, corruption intrigues
of the German bourgeoise, trying first one means,
then another, leading to the fascist dictatorship,
against the proletarian revolution
The author does not attempt to give an analysis,
or roundabout picture. He speaks only as
miltarist in the service of German capitalism,
agreeing with that small section of the ruling class
which did not want the Nazis to come to power,
feeling that they narrowed the avenues Of maneu-
vering and brought the doom of German capitalism
too dangerously near.
