Doctor Jacoby, the most
eminent Jewish physician for

THE trouble with most OF us
l. Americans is-WE CAN'T
MAKE THE WAR SEEM
REAL.
Yes, we're paying extra
taxes. Working at War Re-
lief. Adjusting ourselves TO
new jobs. Sending our young
sters away TO serve their time
in camp. Doing all the IN
dicated things.
But the reason for them all
the horror in Europe-still
seems as distant and unreal
as a Walt Disney fantasy.
And we'll never be able TO
get behind our defense effort

something breaks down that
unreality shocks us into

The Reichswehr was full OF
hidden Nazis.
LABOR FLINCHED

Inc RelchSWenr was 1ull or

LABOR FLINCHED
The German police outside
Of Prussia was infested with
Nazis. There was only one
force in the land strong
enough TO crush the Brown
shirts and Steel Helmets in
open civil war. The trade
unions, controlled by the
Social Democratic Party, were
that force. But its leaders
flinched at the prospect of
civil war.
The Communist Party set
out 10 play a most desperate
game. Secret instructions
were dispatched TO all unit
leaders. ordering the seizure
of the next opportunity to
provoke a mass slaughter be-
tween the storm troops and
the workers.
A great number OF killed
working people, it was hoped,
would incite the masses OF
trade unionists TO counter
action over the heads Of their
own leaders. The Communist
Party would then put itself at
the head of the angry masses
with the demand for a gen.
eral strike and the arming OF
organized labor.
The aim was to bring about
civil war and complete aliena-
ton of the Socialist masses
from their traditional leader
ship. The scheme was as
criminal as il was absurd.
But we Communists. living in
a make-believe world of our
own. went forward with the
optimism of megalomaniacs
from Mars.
The awakening was rude.
II began on a Sunday in July.
The high command of the
storm troops had ordered all
Brownshirt formations OF the
North Sea districts 10
assemble for a march through
the Communist quarters OF
Hamburg-Al Altoona.

ARMED PARADES

Immediately the Communist
Party concentrated its mill
tary formations in Hamburg
for a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The intention was to have the
two armed para d G S. each
counting tens of thousands OF
of marchers, to clash head-on
in narrow streets.
In addition, every able
bodied Communist not par
ticipating in the demonstra-
ton was assigned to one OF
the many points of assembly
in the suburbs. Each brigade
thus assembled was supplied
with a list Of names and ad-
dresses of Nazi and Steel
Helmet functionaries in the
district.
In the event the meeting
OF the two demonstrations in
Altoona did result in a mas
Sacre, our orders were to in
wade the homes of known
Hitler followers and TO make

three Hermann Schubert

Ernst Wollweber, represent

and Edgar Andree, the chief
of the military Apparat.
A greater number of armed
Communists lay in wait in the
tenements that Sunday morn

fated armed Instruction OF
October, 1923. Squads OF girls
and women were in readiness
TO take care of the wounded
and those eventually hunted
by police. Der Tag der Ian

offing.

The Socialist police chief OF
Altoona, Eggerstedt, outlawed

PLAN WEAKENED

They copied the Nazi and
Communist propaganda tech
nique, but emasculated their
campaign from the start by
rejecting the use of strong
arm methods alongside their
propaganda.
Shock : brigades OF trade
unionists - Hammerschaften
were formed to protect the
meetings and propagan d a
squads of the Iron Front
against storm troop raids.
No sooner had the Iron
Front launched its counter
offensive than all the units Of
the Communist Party received
instructions TO sabotage the
enterprises of the Iron Front
at every turn. This we did.
Propaganda attachments of
the Iron Front were forcibly
relieved of their arms and of
the leaflets and papers they
had set out to distribute.
Iron Front meetings were dis
rupted by packing the halls in
advance with storm troopers
and Communists.
Communists processing TO
be democrats entered the Iron
Front organizations by the
hundreds for the sole purpose
OF creating confusion. And
accompanying these under
handed jabs was a tremendous
campaign in the Nazi and the
Communist press. The lead
ers of the Iron Front, backed
by the government Of Chancel-
Tor Bruening, made only feeble
efforts to strike back.
A dozen Communists news
papers were suppressed. and
score of Communist editors
sent TO prison for literary
high treason.
When the NaZi storm trooper
organizations were outlawed
by decree, in April, the di-
rectors of the Iron Front had
the power TO follow up this
measure with general Of

pluck. They were afraid of
revolution. They were afraid.
il seemed, even Of their own
power.
ENDED IN FAILURE
The government of Chancel-
lor Bruening, which had been
supported by the democratic
bloc, was dismissed Non May
30, 1892. Democraeys at
tempt TO rule by decree had
ended in failure.
Franz Won Papen, eX-spy
and lion of the Gentlemen
Club Of intriguing noblemen,
became chancellor and Gen
eral Schleicher, the head OF
the Reichswehr, his minister
of war. Hitler had given his
word Of honor to support the
Papen cabinet-on two con-
ditions: immediate dissolution
of the Reichstag and new
elections. and repeal OF the
government ban against the
storm troops.
The conditions were granted.
Rearming of the nation be-
came the chief topic among
the adherents of the new
regime. Death to boil
sheyism" was the war-cry
under which rearming was TO
be accomplished without stir
ring up noisome attention
abroad, particularly in France.
The storm troops unleashed
a new wave of terror. The
number of political killings
reached a new high during
the first week of June. Hitler
presented the Papen govern
ment with a sudden ultima
tum. The ultimatum de-
manded the preeiaHfatieH-et

the Communist Party, and
control of the Prussian police
