Vienna Workers Bitter While
S. p. Leader BOuUS to Fascisnn|

NEW YORK-There is one spot
in fascist Vienna where anti-fascists
in Vienna are permitted to say what
they think, writes G.. E. R. Gedye
New York Times correspondent in
Vienna.
In dispatch published yesterday
he tells of visiting the Peoples
Educational Center" in Margareten
a hall seating 500, where DR.. Ernst
Karl Winter, deputy-mayor OF
Vienna, debates weekly in defense
of Dollfuss fascism. More than 1000
were trying to get in Sunday when
Gedye arrived.
AS Gedye listened, worker after
worker got up, after Winter had
spoken, to express their bitterness
and hatred of fascism and of their
Social-Democratic leaders.
1--WE have more freedom to attack
Winter than we ever had to criticize
our own Socialist leaders," declared
q SGIeSb Gar lIlObOIuldu,
1.-THE last speaker" writes Gedye,
introduced himself thus:
"'My name is Ref, twelve years a
party secretary, for years a Social
Democratic parliamentary deputy
for the last eight weeks in prison,
now released pending trial on a
charge of high treason. I have come
to the conclusion that Winter is
right and that our best course is to
follow his advice and enter the gov
eminent union
Some applause followed, the eff
feet of which was rather spoiled by
an ironical voice saying. Now you
are sure of acquittal at the trial.

Displaying tremendous activity
and enthusiasm in the campaign
for the strengthening of the Red
Army, the population of the Soviet
regions realizes that in order to
defeat the sixth offensive of the
counter-revolution it is necessary to
strain all energy and direct it in
the struggle against the Kuomin-
tang economic blockade, for the eco
nomic development of the Soviet
regions, for the supply of the Red
Army. One of the last dispatches
from the Soviet region says that in
the Soviet parts of Kiangsi the work
of extending the cultivated area by
the ploughing up of vacant lands
has been carried out with much
success.
Thus in the Boashen County 5000
dams of idle land we're ploughed in
10 days, and in the Gunlue County

Big business, the moneychangers, the
gold standard and overproduction
have been popular and incorrect
choices. But the favorite scapegoat
has been the banks. The Federal Re-

scattered thousands of national

thousands OF State banks have shared
alike in a bitter public opprobrium
This isolation of one single division
of economic activity for general con-

Of the depression go down to a de-

no one culprit. nor can he find any
