IRON Berlin we receive the report
1 Of the following instances Of
Communist propaganda
The Enraged Nazi
The whole street knew this Nazi
official, an anti Communist of the
worst type, with frightfully irri-
table temper. He had to be given
something to remember. One fine
morning, after reading the Hitler
press that was all well in this Fas-
cist country, he goes to open the
window and notices a cord hanging
down over the window with a small
stone tied to the end. The stone
knocked against the window pane.
and the Nazi official, sure that
someone was playing him a trick,
seized the string and gave it a
vigorous pull. Immediately shower
of small leaflets follow the cord,
The passersby, fastening to work,
snatch up the leaflets. The Nazi has
let loose a hail of morning greet
ings with the Inscriptions: Save
Thaelmann! Fight with the Com
munist Party of Germany" Long
live Soviet Germany" His rage does
not prevent scores of workers from
picking up the leaflets.
The Dog
HIS owner is a National Socialist,
IA still the dog was not averse to
accepting few chunks of meat
from strangers, and raised no OBJ
lection to being decorated with a
paper coat. After a brief detention,
he is set free again.
LIE rushes down the street barking,
III looking for his houndish master.
The people on the street stand and
gaze at his coat, which is gaily
painted. A police sergeant nearly
freezes in horror. Could he trust
his eyes? Release Ernst Thaelmann
and fight with the Communist
Party!" A wild chase commences for
the dog who runs all the harder,
He is finally caught, deprived of
his coat, and his identity is estab-
liShed by his license as belonging to
a trusted Nazi. He, the faithful Nazi
henchman, proved to own a dog
which carries on Communist agita-
ton!
Please Pull!
IN many of the gardens throughout
Berlin, a cord runs up to and
along the sidewalk, to which is at
tached a piece of paper on which
there is the message: Please pull"
If the instructions are obeyed, out
OF the soft earth comes bundle of
Communist leaflets.
THE publishing Office OF foreign
4 workers in the Soviet Union will
soon issue a book entitled, "Georgi
Dlmltroff," in several languages,
We hope one of these languages is
English, as the description of the
book promises that it will be of the
greatest interests to thousands of
workers who breathlessly followed
Dimitroff's brilliant defense against
his threatening Nazi executioners,
The author is Comrade Stella
Blagoyeva, daughter of the WELL
known Bulgarian revolutionist, D.
Blagoyev.
Ample material on the life of
IA Dimitroff was made available for
the book. The author had MANY
conversations with Comrade DIM
ltroff since his release from the
fascist prison. The second half of
the book is devoted entirely to the
Leipzig trial, and relates Dimitrof,s
historical stand in court and his
defiant exposure of the fascist
provocations that nearly caused
Goerlng to burst a blood vessel
The book has number of illustra-
tons. Comrade Demitroff's final
speech at the trial is given In full.
