ape ee. An Appeal - - Dear Comrades:—With the exception of a handful of big capitalists, bank- ers, speculators, and exploiters, the people as a whole, are determinedly opposed to the Fascist regime in Bul- garia on account of its anti-national internal and foreign policy, and be- cause of unheard-of violence and bloody outrages perpetrated upon the toiling masses during its reign of ter- ror. This fact is easily explainable to all those knowing that the terrorism and the extreme cruelty of the Zan- kov Fascist government, far surpasses the notorious outrages of all reaction- ary regimes ever known in the other countries, even the abominable cruel- ties of Italian Fascism; that in Bulgaria all the rights and liberties of the workers and peasants are sus- pended; that their organizations (par- ties, unions, co-operatives) are dis- solved and every attempt at their restoration is most ruthlessly sup- pressed; that their press is continual- ly raided and confiscated; that they are allowed no meetings; that the prisons are filled with workers and peasants whose only crime is that they are against the unbearable and intolerable Fascist regime; that the political opponents of the Zankov gov- ernment are deprived of every kind of personal rights; that the organized political murders by the government secret service continue and finally that in the back of this political re- action, the gang of capitalists, bank- . ers and exploiters are holding under their iron heels the workers and pea- sants and all the working people in the country. The popular indignation against the Zankoy government is rising still higher on account of the fact that the government appears as an agent of the old national annexationist policy of the Bulgarian bourgeoisie in re- gard to Macedonia and Thrace, thus pushing the people imminently toward new sanguinary conflicts with the ad- a ee eet jacent countries, especially with Jugo- Slavia, Greece and Turkey. The endurance of the masses is al- ready exhausted. A national mass movement is spreading all over the country in order to liquidate once for all the unbearable Fascist regime. And it will inevitably be done away with, because it is impossible for a WHITE TERROR IN BULGARIA goan! ae By the Bulgarian Communist Party as a bolshevist revolution “framed up” during the second. half of August, by the agents of Moscow, though it is well apparent at the present moment, that the question is not about a pend- ing Communist revolution, but about a mass anti-Fascist movement, in which participate not only the work- ers, peasants and craftsmen, but also the Macedonian emigrants in Bulgaria, ties , 4 © - whole nation to allow itself for long {Part of the reserve officers and a con- to be robbed, terrorized and murdered | Siderable majority of the intelligencia. by a small clique of criminal capital- Simultaneously with this the Zan- ists, bankers and speculators, who|kOV government is planning new seized the state power in their hands | bloody pogroms upon the followers of by the coup d@’etat of June 9, last year. the Communist Party and the Peasant And it is just for this reason that | Union, which pogroms it wants to jus- the Zankov government, completely | tify with the necessity to avert the wholesale arrests of Communists and peasants, part of whom will be expos- ed to cold murder, as it happened last year, after the defeat of the Septem- ber uprising, with several thousands of the best militant workers and pea- sants killed. The central committee of Bulgarian Communist Party considers it its duty to warn the proletariat and all ad- vocates of national liberty and all fighters against Fascism in the Bal- kans, in Europe 4nd all over the world that the growing national movement ‘jagainst the bloody administration of Zankov is aimed exclusively toward removing the cruel Fascist regime and for the establishment of a real popu- lar government in the country, and that the lies which the Bulgarian gov- ernment is spreading concerning a pending “bolshevist revolution” plan- ned by Moscow, is done with the pur- pose to justify the new bloody acts upon the masses which it has decided to resort to in order to save its shaky Fascist power. The central committee of the Bul- garian Communist Party appeals most ardently to all other workers’ and farm- ers’ organizations and to all sincere friends of national freedom, to raise their voice of protest against the new- ly prepared terrors and murders of the working masses, by the Zankov government, and to exert all their in- fluence in order to avert a new era of white terror by Bulgarian Fascism. The Bulgarian working people need the broadest support of the interna- tional proletariat, in order to free it- self of the unheard of tyranny which is menacing them with complete an- nihilation.

If they really believe that they will soon be convinced of the incorrectness of their standpoint. Some leaders of the Am- sterdam International, apparently, consider it possible to prescribe con- ditions, thereby forgetting that the conditions depend upon the actual re- lation of forces. We must therefore advise the one and the other to abandon the idea of their being able to impose their will upon the revolu- tionary trade union movement. What is the explanation of this policy of the Amsterdam Interna- tional? It is due to the fact that there are a number of men in this international who would rather split the Amsterdam International than de- clare themselves ready to unite with the revolutionary workers. At the International Congress of the Metal Workers the representative of the French Federation declared that in the event of the Russian Metal Work- ers’ Federation being admitted into the International, the French Federa- tion would withdraw from it. For those people who have concluded an alliance for life and death with the bourgeoisie, who grovel before Her- riot, splitting is better than unity. We must at all cost destroy that will for further splitting and dismemberment of the labor movement, which to a large extent still exists in the Amster- dam‘ International. We can only do this if all the revolutionary organizations affiliated to the R.I.L.U. realize that the fight for the unity of the interna- ional trade union ‘movement is a long and serious one, that it is no mere maneuver, but a real desire corfe- ponding to the needs of the masses. Unity can only be the result of a long, persistent, systematic propaganda among the masses. The fotlowers of the R.LL.U. must link up the every day struggles against national and international capital, our struggles for or al NNN AN mR pA te the eight-hour day, for improving the conditions of the workers and our de- fensive and agressive actions, with the question of unity of the trade union organizations, we then shall be able to mobilize the masses for this slogan and convert this slogan into a battle- ery of ten million proletarians. It is hard to say how much time we shall require to achieve this unity. But no matter how much effort it may cost P us, the Comintern and the R.LL.U. will continue the struggle they have taken up and will, in spite of all the sabotage of the reformists, bring undertake I learn it with an awful shock that ershing no more punch the clock.

I see the daily papers say he will retire on full pay. In summing up I must not fail to point the moral of the tale. The work- ers should be very wary of backing up the military. Just tell the bunch of khaki gobs that they must hustle for some jobs. They must create the means of life, instead of living off of strife: When you do this, you may be able to have T-bones on your own table, and usher in the glorious day when you'll retire with full pay.
