Urged to Rally Mass
United Front

Fearing the spread of the anti
fascist struggle in the Saar, the
French mining and heavy industrial
combines we're forced to come
to an agreement with Hitler on the
Sasr. declares a statement Of the
National Committee to Aid Victims
Of German Fascism.
Calling on all anti-fascists in the
United States to rally to the support
of the Saar anti-faScist united front
in the present critical situation, the
statement says:
The united front which has
fought for the maintenance Of the
present administration of the League
of Nations (status quo), has the
moral and material support of
millions of snti-fsscists, and liberty
loving people all over the world.
From England to Australia, from the
United States to the Scandinavian
countries. a widespread solidarity
movement is assisting, materially
and morally, the united front in the
Saar territory in its campaign for
status quo.
Unity Spreads
$The result of this significant
effort resulted in the deepening and
the vigorous upsurge of the anti
fascist struggle in the Saar. Tens of
thousands Of Saar citizens have
Joined the united front. In the min
ing territory a defense organization
against the invasion of the Hitler
hordes, the ''MaIsenselbstschutz"
came into existence in an effort to
display all possible forms of resist
ancs. Catholic farmers, Catholic
trade unionists, came to the Social
ist and Communist workers in order
to strengthen the common resist
ance.
This deepening anti-fascist
struggle has intimidated the masters
of the French mining and heavy in
dustrisl combines, which in the field
of French internal politics have to
fight against the same growing anti
fascist trend.
They have viewed with alarm the
struggle of the Saar population and
the enthusiastic solidarity Of French,
German, and other workers and
anti-fascists around it.
Made Peace With Colleagues
In order to prevent the rapid
spread If anti-fascist struggles in
the Saar, the French heavy indus
trialists have therefore made their
peace with their German colleagues
and the French government accord
ingly came to an agreement with the
Government of Hitler -.
we and all of the forces who
have helped to bring the Saar
resistance to its present effective
ness, must continue our solidarity
and brotherly aid for the struggling
population in the Saar. We do not
relax but reinforce our efforts. We
do not surrender to a treaty of
Hitler-Lavsl and to an agreement
between the Lords Of French and
German heavy industries!
Blood Stained History
we submit the so-called guaran-
tees of the French German pact
Just concluded in Rome concerning
the protection of free political opin-
ion, civil liberties, freedom for labor
and Tor the minorities to the judge
ment of anybody who is conversant
with the blood-stained history of
the recent two years in Germany.
I'VE call upon all anti-fascists and
all sympathetic organizations to
rush declarations of support to the
United Front in the Ssar, address
ing Max Braun, Fritz Pfordt, chair
men, Freiheits Front, Saarbrucken,
Saar. We urge as well speedy con-
tributions, the broadening of the
sale of Saar Freedom Certificates,
so that funds to back up the battle
for status quo in the Saar may be
sent across quickly"
