HITLER'S BLOODY ATTEMPT MURDER WAY OUT OF HIS
DIFFICULTIES WILL NOT SAVE CAPITALISM

ers to fight as best they can against
being swallowed up by big capital.
The economic and social conditions
of existence of the various classes
are the fire which keeps the rela-
tionship of these classes to each
other constantly at the boiling tenn
perature Of the class struggle.
Hitler promised with great polnp
that he will liquidate all the con-
WILSON'S of the class struggle. But
the forces of the class struggle did
not obey Hitler's command. On
the contrary, they drew Hitler him
self into their very commissions.
Storm Troops Are Heterogeneous
Force
Hitler recruited the Storm Troops
out of the youth of the tty-bour-
geoisie, out of the ranks of the
young workers and out of the youth
OF the peasantry. This is a mix
ture of classes which, under the
leadership of the Nazis, and on the
basis of their program, were to sup
press within themselves all reflec-
tons of their own class interests.
They were to prepare themselves
for the task to suppress the strug-
giles for the interests of the very
classes from which they sprang.
These heterogeneous elements were
to be welded into a homogeneous
Pretorian Guard for bankrupt cap
italism. They were to save cap
italism.
1t was planned to sever these
Storm Troopers completely from the
classes from which they came. They
were to be integrated into the State
apparatus. This indignation was
supposed to create an economic base
of existence for these Storm Troop

EskIATIoNAL SOCIALIST PARTY
~ is Undermined BY Events in
Germany" Thus the New York
Times" Of July 5th headlines its
many columns Of reports from and
about Nazi Germany. This head
line indicates the difficult Job the
capitalist editors have to perform.
On the one hand they must defend
the capitalist system. On the other
hand they must appear to condemn
the crimes through which this
system tries TO save itself. So
clumsily do they try to perform
this contradictory task that even
the politically blind reader can see
through their method. The Times"
editors are very careful to conceal
the fact that the crimes of Hitler
are the crimes of capitalism in
Germany. They editorialize about
Hitler's stupid brutality, but they
carefully avoid mentioning that
German capitalism is so much in
contradiction to the interests of the
masses that it can hope to main
tain itself only by trying to terror
lie the masses into submission.
The quoted headline of the New
York Times" is an indication Of the
methods Of capitalist propaganda
through news reports. They trans
form the effect into the cause. They
proclaim the instrument as the
master. They turn the criminal
into his victim.
The politically important conclu-
sions from events in Germany are
not that they are undermining the
Nazi Party. They are rather that
the disintegration of the Nazi Party
has created the events in Germany.
Of course the Nazi Party cannot
escape the dialectic logic of its own
history. While it has itself created
the events, the events in turn have
their effect upon the Nazi Party
However, we must see clearly that

ers, independent of the economic
existence Of their respective classes.
This was supposed to influence their
thinking. 1t was supposed to make
them willing and ready tools in the
hands of the Fascist government to
crush any effort on the part of the
working class, on the part of the
peasantry, on the part of the petty
bourgeoisie to revolt against cap
italist misery. The Storm Troopers
were to be made to forget the
original demands of the respective
groups from which they came and
were to devote themselves COM
pletely to the defense of the Fas-
cist State. The security of their
existence was to be made dependent
on the security of the Nazi State.
OF course, even if this plan could
have ben carried through, it would
not have saved Hitlerism. But as
it was, internal and external diff
culties prevented the indignation of
the Storm Troopers with the State.
The demands of the various social
groups from which the Storm
Troopers came continued to find
very strong and direct expression in
the ranks of the Troops. The
Storm Troopers continued to put
forward the demands which origin
ally, in the form of demagogic Hit
lerite promises, drew them into the
ranks of the Troops.
S. A. Men Peril to Boss Rule
Thus, instead of becoming shock
troops in the defense of capitalism
as intended, they are developing as
a danger to capitalism. Here they
were, armed troops, organized to
defend capital; but driven by the
conditions of existence of the re-

panions; the Roehms, Ernsts,
Heines and the Helldorfs who for
merly diligently as well as brutally
murdered for Hitler were now muir
dered by Hitler.
But one may ask: Were these
arch reactionaries, the Roehms,
Ernsts, Helldorfs the bearers of OBJ
jectively revolutionary tendencies in
the Storm Troops? No, certainly
not. They were dyed in the wool
reactionaries. But they tried dema-
gogically to ride the waves of the
rehabilitation of the masses of the
Storm Troopers. However, they
were the recognized leaders of these
radicals" They were the visible
heads. Hitler believed that in MUIR
dering them he cut off the heads of
the revolutionary snake. But he
only cut off the reactionary heads.
The revolutionary tendencies in the
Storm Troops, robbed of their re-
dictionary heads, will grow new
heads. Looking for political and
physical material for these heads,
they will find it only in the Com
munist Party of Germany.
The murders already committed
by no means will be Hitler's only
effort. He will extend his murder
GUS treatment of the crisis of his
rule by trying to reach out even
more ferociously for the heads of
the leaders of the working class in
Germany. The danger for the life
of Thaelmann and other leaders of
the working class in Germany is
therefore intensified manifold. The
position of Hitler, on the other
hand, will and must intensity also
the resistance of the revolutionary
masses to his murderous policy and
the effort to save Thaelmann.

past few days between Bolivia and
Paraguay, before Fort Ballivian, key
position of Bolivia near Standard

Paraguayan troops numbering 49,

soldiers are in the trenches armed
mainly by the Standard Oil and
American bankers interested in

which the war is being fought.
Especially since Roosevelt's So

and Paraguay, as we'll as the hypo-
critical British peace maneuvers, the
warfare has been growing more in

the Nazi Party is not just victim
Of history. 1t has itself made the
history by which it will be swal-
lowed.
Conflicts Within Nazi Party
The Nazi Party is whole bundle
OF contradictions. 1t was created
with the help of the German CAPT.
talists to save capitalism by all
means possible. The first pre-
requisite of its ability to do that
was to create a mass movement,
1t could not create that mass move
ment without appealing to the very
masses who are antagonized by
capitalism and who hate it. So
Hitler set out to appeal to these
masses to form Party in which
racial unity was to smother all
manifestations of class disunity.
If the class struggle were the in

be srnothered. In that case the

create the class struggle. The de-
sired unity of all the people would
then become a fact.
However, the class struggles are
the inevitable result of economic
and social forces. These forces are
at work all the time, wherever and
as long as classes exist. They drive
the capitalists to efforts to satisfy
their hunger for profit by trying
to make the workers work harder
for ever less wages. They drive
the worker to fight for his rights
and his chance to live against the
proflt-hungry capitalists. They
drive the poor peasant to struggle
FOR more land and thus for a
greater security of his existence.
They drive big capital to destroy
the economic base of the petty
storekeepers and petty producers.
On the other hand they drive these

spective classes from whence they
sprang they became an armed
source of danger for capitalism.
The Storm Troops which were to
solve the problem of preventing and
crushing proletarian revolution for
the capitalist rulers, became them
selves a dangerous problem for the
capitalist rulers. They voiced the
desire of the radicalized working
class, of the dissatisfied petty
bourgeoisie and of the inpover-
ished peasantry.
Because of this the Thyssens and
Krupps, etc, gave their servant,
Hitler, categoric order to stop by
all means this talk and this move
ment for the second revolution. /"
Hitler was ordered to establish
within his own Party that peoples
unity which the capitalist class has
ever tried to establish, either
through the treachery of social
democratic theory and practice of
class collaboration and Burgfrieden,
or through terrorization and perse-
cution of the working class, or
through a combination of both
tactics. The ruling class wants a
one-sided class struggle, which they
call class peace, struggle in which
the capitalists do all of the fight
ing, the shooting and falling, while
the workers are to submit resist
lessly. They want a Germany in
which only their own thoughts and
desires, expressed through the
mouth of Hitler shall be legal
tender.

''The strike committee, at the
mass meeting of the strikers,
voted Overwhelmingly to reject

posed by Motif, Seabrook and

1.-THE union, at a meeting of
the Executive Committee last
night, further decided to reject
fatty any recommendation of
dealing with this committee.

1.-THE strike committee states
firmly that the news reports in
the capitalist press regarding the
events yesterday are completely at
variance with the facts. Donald
Henderson, National Organizer OF
the Agricultural and Cannery
Workers Industrial Union, pre-
sented the recommendation of the
strike committee as above-l listed
and received the overwhelming
support of the strikers.
"a gang Of vigilantes attempted
to disrupt the meeting and start
mob attack on Henderson. Both
the conference between Motif,
Seabrook and Hurowitz, as well as
the attack on Henderson was a
situation of terror against the
workers and part of the attempt to
smash the strike, and to put over
compulsory arbitration. Failing to
smash the strike Monday through
tear gas and clubs against babies
and defenseless strikers, and
wholesale arrests of strike leaders,

attempt to railroad a compulsory
arbitration committee on the

"The union repudiates the
news stories in the capitalist
press regarding the attack by
supposed strikers and farm
workers on Henderson and
brands them as misleading re-
ports, inspired at Seabrook's Of

In Austria
Is frightened
DOllfuss Regime Fears
Mass Struggles and
Heimwehr Split

VIENNA, July Throwing dis
content within the Heimwehr
forces, the armed bands that helped
bring the fascist dictatorship in
Austria to power, has caused a
shake-up in the Dollfuss regime,
and Tightening in the top group
Of the ruling clique.
Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss has
taken over greater dictatorial pow
ers, including all military and police
power in Austria. Besides, Dollfuss
now controls the posts of Foreign
Minister, Minister of Public Sc
curity and Agriculture.
A government declaration issued
today says the concentration of
power in the hands of DollfusS, and
shake-up in the Heimwehr forces
was necessary to wipe out the last
vestige of reasonable movement"
Dollfuss is now aping his master,
MusSolini, in centralizing the lead
ing government posts in his own
hands.
The resistance of the workers in
Austria to the fascist measures of
the Dollfuss regime has been in
tensifying, At the same time, as
in the Storm Troops, the duped
members of the Heimwehr now find
that all the promises made to them
for crushing the defensive armed
struggles Of the Austrian workers
have been Shamelessly ditched.
Antagonism has developed be-
tween the regular army and the
armed bands in the Heimwehr. On
June q in Graz the friction reached
the point of open break. This was
the step that led to the new move
of the Dollfuss fascist government.
