The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-09-08

DELA KUN ended the first instlllnent of his
series of articles the united front yes
terday by citing that the Nazi papers in Ger
many were moved to fear by the united actions
between French Communists and Socialists. The
second installment of this series follows:
THIS reaction on the part of Hitler fascism to the
united front OF the workers which is developing
against German fascsm, is in itself enough to show
that the Communist Parties which made proposals
for unity of action to the Democratic Parties
acted correctly The correctness of this step of the
Communist Parties lies not only in the fact that
they have repeated this step despite the fact that
after Hitler'S advent to power the Second Inter
national forbade the Sooal-Democratic Parties to
organize joint actions with the Communists against
Hitler fascism. (The Second International did this
despite the fact that the Communist Interna-
tonal in its appeal of March 5, 1888, recommended
It's sections to cease making attacks on Social
Democracy during the period Of joint actions.
Moreover, the Importance of these proposals
made by the Communist Parties to the leader Of
Social-Democratic Parties lies not only in the feet
that Swiss Social-Democracy has once again proved
that it prefers to maintain its class collaboration
with the bourgeoisie rather than to establish the
united front with the Communist workers. that
the Labor Partycoud not even answer the pro-
posal for unity of action made to it; that the
French Socialists made joint action against fascism
dependent upon condition which constitutes
breach of worke-S democracy.
c. P. WILL PRESS UNITY
At the time of writing these lines we do not
yet know what decision will be taken by the Ad-
mlnistratiye Commission of the French Socialist
Party on the basis of the reports of its delegates
who negotiated with the representatives of the
Communist Party. We do not know which pres
sure viii have more powerful effect upon the
Administrative Commission-the militant will of
the working masses who are pressing for unity of
action, or the resistance of Frossard, Doroy and
REVERE, who have rejected the proposal made by
the Communist Party of France No matter what
the leaders Of French SocialDemocracy may decide
no matter what the leaders of the Swiss Social
Democracy have decided no matter what the lead
ers OF the Labor Party have keut quiet from their
members-the Communist Parties will unahakably
continue and extend the struggle for the united
front of the working class against fascisn against
war, for the Of Tnaelmann.
Let the Socal-Democratic leaders answer the
proposals of the Communists for the formation of
joint front Of struggle with such malicious words
as were used by Swiss al-Democracy; let them
declare with malice and hatred that the struggle
against the splitting o. the working class is Com
