SPe AXIS for Capitalists
Who Form ROOsevelt's
General Staff

THE document reproduced in the
next column was not translated
from some Hitler sheet bowling for
blood and murder. But it reads like
the murder rawlings Of a Hitler.
1t is an editorial now being sold
on newsstands, subways, trains, and
so on, all over the United States.
This is the stage we have now
reached in America. A leading. re-
spectacle magazine, with a million
circulation, is now brazenly shrek
ing for murder, hanging, and lynch
violence against Communists.
But do not be mistaken. To these
fascist murderers and organized
lynch mObs, every single worker who
dares raise his voice for better con-
ditions is a Communist"
Every trade unionist, every So
cialist worker, every honest and
progressive person in American life
automatically becomes a "cOmmu-
mist"
The threat of fascist brutality and
rowing lynch gangs, Of American
Brown Shirts" rioting through the
streets, smashing and killing as they
go, hovers a grim and immediate
menace over the head Of every mill
tant worker, every forward-looking
person in the country.
Bernarr Macfadden is not some
individual lunatic bowling for blood
and murder. The lynch howl in his
magazines was carefully planned on
Dec. and 6, when the National As
ISOLATION Of Manufacturers met IN
secret session in New York. Bernarr
Macfadden is a member of one of
the leading committees Of this re-
dictionary group Of millionaire en-
ployers, and, in all probability, he
was present at the secret sessions on
Dec. and when, behind closed
doors, the country's biggest employ
eFs laid down their plans to smash
the labor movement in a new, more
ruthless drive for profits.
This bowling Of q Hearst, Of a
Macfadden, of Matthew Vol, for
fascist murder was planned and Is
now being directed by the commit
tees Of employers which met IN New
York in December and two weeks
later at White Sulphur Springs,
West Virginia.
I OOK at the editorial. 1t calls for
l. immediate violation of all the
hypocritical rules which the capt.
talists themselves have created for
law and order" They used to say
that it was the Communists who
f1outed claw and orde,." Now 1t Is
these capitalist reacti0narieS who
spit with contempt on their own
claw and order" and call for bloody
IawIessness.
Hang the traitors" yells Mac
fadden.
This means that the fake capt.
talist democracy of claw and order"
is now being exposed by the CAPT
talists themselves for what 1t is-a
yoke for the oppression of the peo-
pie, to be cast aside as soon as 1t
stands in the way Of the exploiters
and their fascist agents.
They use their Flaw and order"
to break strikes, Jail workers, frame
Tom MONEYS and murder Saccos
and Vanzettis.
But when this claw and order"
stands in the way Of the murderous
defense of their profits, then they
are the first to scream for lawless-
ness and blood.
Macfadden is calling for murder.
Yet you do not see Roosevelt or any
single supposed preserver Of law and
peace moving finger against him
to protect workers and citizens.
This is because Roosevelt approves
what Macfadden and Hearst are
doing The unbreakable proof of this
is the fact that the very same Wall
Street industrialists who planned
this lynch hysteria In New York
and White Sulphur Springs in
December are now on the Roosevelt
Committee Of f1fty-two financiers
and industrialists who advise Roose-
welt on all legislation!
