The Nazi Axe Menaces
Comrdde ThdeImann

YESTERDAY, in Hamburg, Germany,
L the axe of the Nazi executioner crashed
down on the necks of four more Of our
German comrades.
This adds another chapter to the
hideous course of German Fascism. The
Fascist savagery is rising still in Ger
many From the hidden recesses Of the torture
chambers and concentration camps it is again UNI
leashing its terrorism in the streets.
The Fascists are afraid. They are terrified by
the grim menace Of the proletariat, which defies
all terrorism, all torture, all repression The Fas-
cists think that more terror will save them They
think that they can blind the masses with blood,
where they have failed to give them bread
After Is months of rule, Hitler knows that his
rule rests sand, that the spectre of proletarian
revolution, which he thought to crush with bayo-
nets, rises again.
He knows that the Communist Party of Germany
lives deep in the heart of the working class rooted
unbreakable.
He is letting loose his venom against Thael-
mann, Bolshevik leader of the German working
class, fearless son of the German proletariat. At
this moment Thaelmann is feeling who knows what
insane torture, who knows the agony at the hands
Of the beasts whom German capitalism has sent to
prey upon him.
The working class Of the world cannot rest quiet
while Thaelmann is in the hands of these beasts
The working class of the world tore Dimitroff
Popof and Tanef from the hands of the Fascists
It can Wrest Thaelmann away also.
Every Fascist official in foreign countries, every
consul, every Ambassador must hear the voice of
the masses demanding the liberation of Thaelmann
and Torgler, of all anti-Fascist fighters!
The trial" of Thaelmann approaches 1t will
be sinister farce moving swiftly to the execution
Of our comrade, Thaelmann.
We cannot wait Thaelmann calls to u.s.
Protest meetings, demonstrations resolutions must
be arranged for, everywhere. All workers, SYM
pathizers, and mass organizations must continue
to flood the German Consuls in every city with
protests. Let the Fascsts know that we are de-
termined to Iiberate Thaelmann!

A Bitter Indictment

THE long-awaited report OF the Darrow
L National Recovery Review Board has
finally been made public.
It is a document of first-rate political
Importance.
In it, for the first time, in govern
ment agency, we find remarkable admis-
sion Of the charges which the Communist Party
alone has been firing at the whole Roosevelt-NRA
program ever since its inception.
The MIRA program far from being the social"
program described by everyone from Roosevelt to Nor
man Thomas stands revealed in the Darrow report
as brutal domination of the most powerful, reac-
tionary Wall Street monopones.
The N.R.A. codes have fastened increased hunger
intensified slavery and exploitation upon the vast
majority of the population Of the country-such is
the verdict Of the Darrow Board.
Such has been the verdict of the Communist
Party, which alone has led the masses in fierce
struggle against the slavery of the N.RA program.
The criticism of the monopoly character Of the
NR.A. by the barrow Board is a bitter one 1t is
essentially a petty-bourgeois criticism. 1t is the
criticism of the small business man who is being
crushed to pieces by the advance of the Wall Street
financial monopoly machine. 1t is his last cry Of
anguish before his determination. This explains
the vacillatng, confused character Of the report.
More detailed analysis following the excellent sum-
mary of the Darrow report given today by our
Washington Bureau will be made with the publica-
ton of the full text.
But already in it's bitter flaying OF the MIRA
Roosevelt program it has revealed the ruthless re-
dictionary face of the big Wall Street monopoies
which all the time has been hidden by the rotten
hypocrisy Of Roosevelt and the SociaFascist echoes
of the whole tribe Of A. F. of L. and Socialist Party
oficiaIdom.

politicians or by the reforist agents Of the rul-
ing class, and to stem the growing rehabilitation
Of the working class.
The most glaring example Of the attacks on
workers social organization is afforded in the fire.
quent police raids on the Social Youth Culture Club
Of Brooklyn. The headquarters Of this club has
been raided four times in recent weeks by the police
after gangsters hired by local bourgeois politicians
and owners Of dance halls and gambling joints to
break up the club, had been beaten back by the
members and sympathetic workers. The latest raid
on the club occurred last Sunday and was carried
out by II police riot openly Haunting riot guns
In a. monstrous proVocatiOn against the workers.
Several members of the club were arrested in an
attempt to deny the club the right to hold social
affairs and lectures in its own headquarters for its
members and their friends. Five Of these workers
will be tried in the Bridge Plaza Magistrates Court
this Friday morning.
That the attack on the Social Youth Culture
Club is not an isolated event. but of national char
acter, with great political significance to the entire
working class is shown by similar raids and attacks
on workers clubs in Philadelphia, Newark and other
cities.
Every workng-class organization, every militant
worker should answer these attacks on the right of
the workers to organize by supporting the plans of
the Associated Workers Clubs for a conference to
organize defense against these attacks.

Preparing for Youth Day
May 30 Is Immediate
Task of Party
BY CHARLES KRUMBEIN
District Organizer, Communist

dA W. 1NCh 1OTk OlSGTlCLl
WITH war and fascism becoming
w more and more imminent, the
entire working-class must give Sc
rious consideration, organize and
prepare for the struggle to defeat
these two beasts of the working class.
One of the biggest tasks we have is
the reaching and organizing of the
young workers and students in the
struggle against war and fascism.
In war youth is a decisive factor.
In faScism, as we have seen in Ger
many, the youth can also become
decisive.
1t is our task to win the youth
against war and fascism. This can
be done as we have already seen in
the past by the large numbers of
young workers who have been en-
gagged in militant strike struggles
for their day-to-day needs. 1t has
been proved by the large numbers
Of young workers and students in
the recent strikes against war. 1t
has been proved by the tremendous
turnout of young workers and stu
dents in the May Day demonstra-
tons. 1t is SO because the youth are
especially Disseminated against.
Hundreds of thousands of them
have not bsen able to get their first
job. Most Of those with jobs receive

The Fascist Coup in
Bulgaria

THE Fascist coup d'etat in Bulgaria is a
j reflection of the desperate attempts
of the ruling bourgeoisie of Bulgaria to
meet the remorseless intensification Of the
crisis.
The reports of the situation are not yet
complete enough to warrant detailed and
thorough eyaluation.
But two factors in the situation are already
clear. The first is the intense fear which the Bull
garian revolutionary movement, led by the splendid
Bulgarian Communist Party, strikes in the hearts
of the Bulgarian ruling classes. Even from the
meagre capitalist press reports, it Is obvious that
the Fascist coup is the desperate lunge Of the Bull
garian ruling classes against powerful Communist
Party, Party which has bred Dinitrof, a Party
which is rapidly leading the masses toward open
class battles.
The Bulgarian Fascist coup also reflects the
struggles within the Bulgarian ruling classes around
the question of alignment to Italian German FaS-
cism. The conflicts within the ranks Of the Bull
garian borgeosfe the reflections OF the exraor
binary sharpening of the international imperiaist
antagonists In the Balkans as the major impe-
rialist powers France Italy, Germany, and Britain
naneuver ceaselessy for advantages in the shifting
for positions of power in Southern Europe.
The world crisis Of capitalism, whatever the diff
ferent of various separate countries deepens
steadily. The imperialist antagonisms and hatreds
grow in intensity every day, every hour. Within all
the capitalist countries the toiing masses are pre-
pairing for revolutionary struggle The revolution
airy upsurge of the masses grows higher and higher,
confronting the bougeoisie with the menace Of pro-
letarian revolution.
In this situation, the bourgeosie everywhere
brings forward its last reserves its open Fascist die
satorship 1t attempts to head off proletaran revo-
luton by means of the most brutal and bloody ter
ror. But while this makes the revolutionary strug-
gle Of the workers difficult, it does not solve
Aae growing crisis within the bourgeois ranks The
srces Of proetarian revolution continue to mature.
This Is the broad meaning of the Bulgarian coup.

their youth and energy. They are
generally handled as second rate

N. Y. District Drive for Youth
All of this being the case, with
proper approach to them, they can
be won for the struggle against war
and fascism.
The Communist Party in its re-
cent pre-convention discussions and
at its convention laid tremendous
stress upon the Importance of work
among the young workers and stu
dents. This was not accidental. 1t
is precisely because the Communist
Party sees as its main task the
struggle against war and fascism.
We now have the job of putting our
resolutions into life. To do this the
New York District of the Commu-
mist Party is launching a drive to
involve its members, as well as the
adults in all the organizations SYM
pathetic to it to reach the young
workers and students, organizing
and leading them for the day-to-
day needs, and thereby winning
them for the bigger struggles.
Mobilize on May 30
During the course of this drive
we have the task of mobilizing the
largest possible demonstration on
National Youth Day which falls on
May Both. We must reach every
youth organization possible, likewise
every adult organization, and bring
them onto the streets for National
Youth Day, which day is dedicated
to struggle against war and fas-
ciSm.

Let us see National Youth Day as
further step from the splendid
May Day demonstrations which had
as one of its main issues the struggle
against war and fascism.
The second big event will be a

opening of the New York District
convention of the Young Communist

preparation for these two big events
the New York District of the Party

issue minimum of $4,000 mani
festos to the youth, as well as a
minimum of 10000 leaflets mobi-
