They we're faith
full servants of fascism to the end,
but their end was required in order
to bury some of Hitlers promises.
NOV, General Johnson, to cover up
~ some of his own fascist meas
ures, cracks down, verbally, on the
Nazi butcheries.
"A few days ago, in Germany"
he said out in Waterloo, Iowa,
where the farmers face famine
under Roosevelt's New Deal, events
occurred which shocked the world.
I don't know how they affected you,
but they made me sick-not figura-
lively, but physically and very ac~
lively sick. The idea that adult,
responsible men can be taken from
their homes, Stoop up against wall,
backs to the rifles and shot to
death is beyon expression"
But this general has a very con-
venient stomach. When innocent
Negroes are dragged out of their
homes and are burned at the stake
or hanged and riddled with bullets
by Southern white lynch mobs, the
General can be eating the most
sumptuous dinner at the Ritz and
his stomach won't turn a teeny-
weeny bit.
A1obo mo oOaI Y,,i,,ore Doo;G1
coast longshoremen, Philadelphia
hosiery workers, Ambridge steel
workers, Toledo auto workers, can
be shot by the score by armed gang
sters or militiamen, and the Cen
erals appetite won't be interfered
with in the slightest. 1t is only
when those close to his heart (the
fascist dogs in Germany are shot
down by their own masters that
the Generals gastronomic equili-
brium is upset.
I AGUARDIA'S police can club a
u pregnant woman and kill her UNI
born infant, but the generals hardy
soldier bearing doesn't culver in the
slightest. Hungry, starving unem-
ployed may be dubbed, beaten, tor
tured, Jailed and die for lack of
food, still the general refuses to let
his stomach finch.
Only when a pack of degenerate
perverts, who themselves slaugnt-
cred hundreds of workers, and Com
munists, get a few of the bullets
they had meant for the revolution
airy working class, does the general
become politically seasick.
THE inner conflicts in Austria
1 among the Fascist scum has
reached a stage of open violence.
Bombings go on necessarily, sort of
punctuating the fact that fascism
rests on volcano. But one poll
tical bomb that exploded was not
reported in the American capitalist
newspapers. The former Social
Democratic town councillor Of
Vienna, Julius Lindner, henchman
of Otto Bauer, one of the leading
constructors" of Austrian social
ism, such as the Karl Marx House,
ETC., has gone over bag and baggage
to the Dollfuss government. In the
newspaper Workers Sunday" he
now openly lines up with Dollfuss
and the fascist trade unions. Very
much in the style of Norman
Thomas he wrote:
Social rights can only be OBJ
tanned Intellectually. Whoever wants
to fight and think socially or
humanity must refrain from violence
because this always brings back
violence and disturbs social life,
However difficult it may be to for
get the past it is more important
to secure the workers rights in the
present. IN the new state they will
have only those rights for which
they struggle, and therefore cannot
stand aside but must accept and
reckon with the present"
THE Communist Party of the Saar
L has sent proposal for united
front action against fasciSm to the
Social Democratic Party. In this
appeal for joint action, the Com
munist Party of the Saar writes:
Hitler must be beaten in the
Ssar The anti-fasciSt workers
must prevent the handing over of
the Saar toiling population to the
fascist bloody hangman OF the Hit
Ter hunger regime. The annexing
of the Saar to Germany would mean
murder and imprisonment of hum
dreds and thousands of fighters,
destroying all political rights of the
workers; complete enslavement, the
closing Of the mines, increased un-
employment; war, with the youth
transformed into cannon fodder,
and misery for the middle class and
the small peasantry."
They then make the following
concrete proposals for united front
action.
~ Immediate fighting measures
to be initiated for the liberation Of
Ernst Thaelmann and all inn
prisoned anti-fascists.
(2) Organizing of mass defense
in all factories and workers resi-
Dental districts.
(3) Fight against all restrictings
OF the right of free assemblage,
free speech, free press.
az United mobilization of the
workers for their economic de-
mands.
(5) Forming of joint fighting
committees against Hitler's an
nexation plan, and in case Of
forced voting to keep the status
quo. as a more favorable firhtinr
