carrying out the commands of Hit
Ter and his associates in the guise
of Servants of Cod and the oath
of allegiance to Hitler shows this
clearly.
The leader of the church opposi-
ton, Karl Barth in the pamphlet,
For the Liberty of Evangelism" de-
clares: THE church, the righteous
church of God on earth, cannot
stand or fall with this or that pos
sibility of nature or with this or
that cultural FORM or with this or
that phase in the history of people
or a State"
These words reveal the we'll
founded fear that If the Protestant
Church permits itself to be made a
! dependent of the Nazi State it will
soon go under with that State.
It is now of paramount impor-
lance that the Protestant and Cath
olic toiling masses be made to
realize that the question facing
them is not that of demanding
spiritual liberty from regime
whose actual content is the bar
barous and bloody persecution of all
freedom. spiritual or economic,
among the masses of the people
The real question facing them is to
organize the struggle for the over
throw of the fascist system and for
the establishment of Socialism, in
the united front with the social
istically minded masses and under
their leadership. For it is Socialism
which creates economic freedom for
the enslaved and suppressed masses
of the people, and with it spiritual
freedom.
The enormous energies of the
working people, the mighty force Of
the peoples hatred against die
tatorsl1ip which maintains itsel1
solely by means OF murder, provo
cation and lies, must be sidetracket

Conflicts in German Church ShOw
Protestants' Hatred of Nasi Rule

The actions of the high Nazi Of
ficials on the question of the con-
fhct within the German Church in
dictate a nervousness and a con-
viction that the German Profess
tants' revision for the fascist-ap-
pointed Reich Bishop Mueller is
really a revulsion for Hitlerism al
together.
Factual proof is ample. that the
church conflict, far from being a
simple matter of freedom of religion,
as the press here and abroad would
like to see it, is vent through
which the fury and oppression OF
the entire country is escaping.
The clumsy and vicious Bishop
Mueller was probably not surprised
when on Sept. % few struggling
thousand greeted him, instead of
the Protestant hosts. The German
Foreign Office had been hurriedly
pressing for his retirement, but it
was too late. The Lords anointed

In Berlin, where Mueller had pre-
pared amplifiers for an enormous
audience, his speech, as the Basic

This was only the beginning. In

"forcible amalgamation of the Prot

took the opportunity to throw its
whole weight of dissatisfaction and
bitterness into this struggle.
Did this mean that Meiser and
the hundreds of other protesting
clergymen were really opposed tc
Hitler? Did this mean that they
were willing to assume any sort OF

against religious oppression, but
economic oppression? Not at all
The message of allegiance to Hitler
intermixed with the declarations OF

On the contrary, in the course Of

ceeding in the offices of the N. r. A..
with Ryan only asking that the
decision Of the Roosevelt Board pro-
viding for joint hiring halls on the

The joint hiring hall, it was de-
fined, gives the shipowners complete
freedom to choose workers, and
therefore to discriminate. The Rank
and File committee in the I. L. A.
has in the meantime issued a leaflet,
now being distributed, calling TO-
preparations to struggle together
with the seamen for a workers own
