has aroused the hornets nest CT rapid revolutionary
response OF the working class breaking through all re-
formist and concihaUory attempts O. the socialists to
deploy the workers into channels desired by the fascist
bourgeoisie
The whole rotten structure OF Austrian social
democracy is crImblng on the barbados
Quicker than it bargained for the bourgeoise is
finding that the elements that disrupt its power" that
the arousng Of the proletariat and the acceeraion
Of the collapse Of its main support socal-democracy
are growing by leaps and bounds.
Nor are these historically dramatic events the whole
picture. Settling discomfort is spreading everywhere
The British unemployed are on the march. The German
proletarsat, under the leadership of the Communist
Party is increasing its struggles against fascsm Strikes
are growing everywhere.
For the United States, there many lessons in
the French and Austrian events that must be learned
in our struggle against hunger war and fascsn;
The working class here is in the mood for struggle
II feels here the heavy weight OF the MIRA attacks
the poisonous grasp OF company unions; the sociafas
cist maneuyers Of the A. F. Of L. leadership We see
here symptoms Of tremendous rising strike struggles on
the railroads in COAL in Steel in the marine industry
I'VE must as rapidly transform our mass work to the
" factories into the trade unions winning the leader
ship of the workers heading strikes, leading them to
higher political levels preparing the workers now
through day-to-day struggles to be strong and powerful
in the fight against fascist and against the Grim
inaI war policy of the Roosevelt regime.
The American workers be heartened by the
brilliant, the magnificent struggles of their French
and German brothers. They blazing the way in
the fight against fascsm. Their battles are our
battles Their fighting spirit raises shiyers Of hor-
ror the minds of the American capitalists who sweat
and starve the American workers. They are writing
undyng pages in the history Of the struggles against
capitalism, and its monster front today, fascism.
THE 9Th Convention Of the Communist Party OF the
U. S. A. will be held at time when the maturing
of the revolutionary crisis of world capitalism has been
given powerful impetus by the events in France,
Austria and Germany.
In this situation the outstanding question is that
put by the 18th Plenum Resolution;
"The question to how the rule of bank
rupt capitalism will be OVerthrOwn by the prOetaria
will be determined by the fighting preparedness of
the majority of the working class by the successful
work of the Communist Parties in undermining the
influence of SOcial-demOcracy"
For work here, the meagre news Of the
European events brings out the need of speeding the
work of building Communist Party We must re-
member the words of Comrade Stain when he said in
comes uppermost.
In order to rally forces to penetrate the broad
masses of the American workers. in order to prepare
for historic 9Th Convention it is necessary our
Party really to absorb the full political significance and
the directes Of the 18th Penum resolution to begin
to apply it in all work to speed the task of root
ing our Party among the decisive proletariat in the
basic industries
