The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-12-08

estimation Of the various social
problems, cannot annull the fact
that both communists and socialists
are firmly opposed to the regime of
restitution and slavery, of autocracy
and terror, that fascism has imposed
upon the Italian people; these diff
ferenceS cannot prevent either the
communists or the socialists from
being moved and aroused by the in
human treatment accorded by a So
called civilized government, TO
thousands of honest persons in
Italy guilty only of not being con-
WINGED that fascism is the regime
more suitable to a nation which
brought light to the world with the
torch OF science, of communal
liberties, of art and of a civilization
which educated the world"
While the cry of protest by all
the civilized peoples echoes ours,
the italian dictator hesitates, stalls,
ro-tpones day after day, the giving
of the visa on the passports of the
members of the international COM
mission who cannot go to italy with
out the visa to ascertain whether
the Italian political prisoners are
receiving, as the fascist govern
ment aff1rms. a humane treatment,
or whether as all those who have
succeeded to escape from Italy, say,
they are being treated as beasts.
Commission Must Enter
1t is our and your duty to do
everything possible in order that the
above commission may fulfill its
mandate; in order that the civilized
world may know the truth regard
ing who by the thousands populate
the penitentiaries and the deporta-
ton islands Of Italy, because of the
capital crime of not approving Of
what fascism wants to impose.
Only thus can we relieve their
suffering, only thus can we create
an International will and conscious
ness capable of forcing the "duce" to
understand the necessity Of stopping
his ferocious persecution of thought
which in spite of the special tribu-
nails and exile of today and the
burning Of yesterday, remain free
and will always remain free.
May this pact between commu-
nists and socialists, the first in the
United States, be an alliance of
/ fighters in the battle for the same
cause, may it be a clear demonstra-
ton that temperamental and
! theoretical differences cannot and
must not keep apart the soldiers
who are marching against a COM
mon enemy; may it be a shining
proof that the proletarian army,
even though divided in regiments
I and batalions, can be one. as one is
/ the enemy who must be conquered.
