Clergy Yield
TOPressure:
Oppose Nazis

BERLIN, Oct. 25-Within forty
eight hours of one another the
Protestant and Catholic Churches,
yielding to the pressure of German
workers and peasants, have repu-
dated all control Of the Hitler Gov
eminent over any Of their actions
or pronouncements, the Protestant
Church dividing itself by a formal
and absolute split from the fascist
State Church and the Catholics
issuing a proclamation of indie
pendence backed up by an i'm
minent interdict forbidding any
Catholic baptisms, combinations,
marriages, extreme unctions or
burials throughout Bavaria.
Hitler, who was to have clarified"
the church conflict which has left
him withut a clergy and a laity, is
reported to have developed a con-
venient "toothache." Meanwhile Hit
ler's aides are in great consterna-
ton that the peasants, many of whom
had been deceived into expecting
from Hitler some solution to their
problems, are concerned in battling
against the State Church less about
religious scruples than about deal
ing fascism some heavy kicks for
having increased their economic
misery.
High officials of the church op-
position such as DR.. Karl Barth,
have openly expressed their minds
in saying that the Protestant and
Catholic churches are unwilling to
risk their influence over the masses
by affiliating themselves with an
unstable and collapsing regime.
How far the opposition leaders have
been influenced by international
clerical organizations, as well as by
the Papal authority, which fear the
damage to international religion Of
any association with Hitler Ger
many, can only be conjectured.
In thousands of overcrowded
churches all over the Reich workers
and peasants flocked to approve the
reputation Of the fascist State
Church. From their pulpits the
pastors read:
I'VE call on the Christian par

pened? When the capitalists feared that the major
ity of the workers were ready to fight for the ac-
tual achievement of Socialism, they let loose their
armed bands They organized their Fascist hordes
to preserve capitalism.
Therefore, to talk about the gradual" transfer
nation of capitalism into Socialism by the simple
expedient of buying OFF the capitalists and voting"
in the Socialist leaders is not aimed at developing
struggle for the realization of Socialism, but is
designed to put the workers to sleep by pipe dreams
to pave the way for the Fascist dictatorship, to DIS
arm the workers. and to prevent them from mobz-
ing their forces for revolutionary struggle-the
only way to achieve Socialism.
If we examine Thomas speech little further
we will see that the Socialist Party does not want
Socialism, and does not want the workers to or
ganiZe their forces for a struggle to achieve 1t.
Thomas said When we socialize industry we
do not intend to run it under political bureau
cracy. . We intend to have general board of
strategy, national economic planning council to
map out strategy in the war against poverty. 1t is
for this sort of thing that should work.
Sounds nice, but let us the fatal anti-working
class kernel contained in it. Before industry can
be socialzed at ALL the workers must win political
power. This can be done only by smashing the
capitalist state power, and setting up workers
government proletarian dictatorship, which alone
can give the workers power to sociaze industry and
to defeat all who oppose it. without this there
can be no talk of economic planning
Only in one country in the world is there econ
omic planning and national council Of economy,
and that is in the Soviet Union But before that
could be achieved, the workers had to overthrow
the capitalist state, to destroy the armed forces
of the exploiters to set up Sovets through which
the workers ruled, to prevent the capitalists from
trying to intervene, and then to reap the fruits of
their revolutionary struggles through the inaugura
ton of Socialism.

in turn resulted in the current re-
strike action, German yesterday
handed to the White House a
lengthy report complaining that the
mill owners have resisted" the
Winant Textile Board and President
Roosevelt's orders. Gorman'S report,
while including stark statements by
rank and file workers on the ter
rible conditions they now face, again
implied that all these would be
abolished if only President Roose-
velt's and the Textile Boards de-
sires were carried out.
Among the exhibits attached to
Germans report was a reprint Of
a page of the Daily Worker of Sep
TENDER pam issue which cited the
sell-out, especially the differences
between what the general textile
strikers demanded and what they
got under the Winant eettlement
German said that this - communist
publication" had been reprinted
by the mill arrangements and circu-
lated throughout the South among
the workers"

for one of two purposes: to obtain
a pledge Of pap, or to take advan-
tage of the publicity that results
from a Pollyana prediction uttered
in the lobby there. Today it is Jo-
seph F. Guffey, Democratic candi-
date for U. S. Senator, lunching
with the President and emerging
with an announcement that soon
the Presidents Natural Resources
Board will help Pennsylvania stop
the decline in the use of coal. To-
morrow it may be Tammany Jim
Farley, patronage -haloed Postmaster
General, calling to report to Roose-
welt, and especially TO the White
House reporters, bright Democratic
prospects.
And vet the atmosphere of the
national capital seldom has been so
deadly calm as it is today on the
eve of national elections.
Tactic of Coasting
The reason is apparent. The
Roosevelt Administration and the
Democratic Party have settled upon
one election tactic-coasting The
Republicans have nothing to say
much less do, about it. 1t is not
that either lacks popular issues, but
rather that there are so many vital
questions before the people in this
sixth autumn of crisis that a poll
tician can hardly open his mouth
without striking something vital
And with both Republicans and
Democrats concerned exclusively
with convincing Big Business tnaU
thew are the more capable of gear
ing government to industrial profit
making, anything they say about a
reel issue is against them.
Take the issue Of cash payment
on the veterans service certlfcateS'
one of the chief planks Of the Com
munist Party platform. President
roosevelt avoided it to the point az
which. speaking before a veterans
hospital. sidestepping became a
declaration of opposition. Here was
an excellent opening for the Re
n,clicans. They have a national
publicity machine here to take ad-
vantage Of just such situations. But
not one statement Of comment was
issued-they had nothing better to
offer than the Presidents mis-
statement that veterans are bet
ter of" than other groups of citi-
zens. Instead, Republican Senator
Steiwer of oregon, safe from the
voters for four more years, went to
the American Legion convention to
try to put over resolution for
"sarIy"-but not immediatel-bonus
payments.
Aware Of Jobless Issue
Even capitalist politicians are
acutely aware that the main issue
in this campaign is genuinely I'M
employment insurance, for which
the Communist Party has been
pressing a specific, extensive meas
ure for three years. But you can
sllag around the headquarters of
both Republicans and Democrats,

New York Stocks
BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, May 3.-A last
minute selloff on the stock ex-
change today wiped out early gains
and registered the 18th successive
daily decline.
Trading had been light with
prices firm. Then a slow recession
occurred. Leaders slipped back to
their previous levels and many went
below.
American Telephone, which had
reached 115A, up Ia points broke
below its previous close of ia. Ma
tional Distillers lost a full point.
American Can wiped out a small
gain. CelaneSe broke toward its
low for the year Steel common
Westinghouse Electric, Chrysler,
Auburn Automobile, New York
Central, Wiilworth and a long list
made small losses.
Traders were displeased when the
list failed to generate activity when
prices were rising. In the decline
volume picked up but tickers were
able to keep pace.
OllS were SJIOiIS lOl d lllilS uli-
der the leadership of Standard OF
New Jersey and California.
At the last minute Chrysler sold
off. The latter's report for the
first quarter was issued after the
close and some traders held it
would not come up to expectations
of 70 cents share.
Consolidated Gas slipped back to
a new low for the year on investi-
cation fears and outlook for rate
cuts.
Sugars were higher on anticipa-
ton of early signing of the sugar
bill
Silver Futures were strong but
volume fell off sharply.
The mid-Weekly steel report from
the youngstown district showed a
rise Of a point to 50 per cent Of
