FASCIST DRIVE END UNIONISM Thousands of Militants Are Jailed SOFIA, (By Mail).—In_ conse- quence of the highly successful Con- gress of the Independent Trade Unions of Bulgaria, held about six weeks ago, the Bulgarian Fascisti are openly demanding the dissolution of these Trade Unions, and of the Workers’ Party, which is fighting the proletarian battle in Parliament. That this demands considerable courage in Fascist Bulgaria can be seen from the fact that the (illegal) Communist Party alone has 800 mem- bers in prison and 3,000 in exile. Since 1923, when the Fascist coup took |place, 20,000 workers and peasants have been killed, many of them Com- munists. The Fascisti are demanding that UMANIA REGIME TO GET FAT LOAI BUCHAREST, March 13.—An ar- zement will soon be concluded by ch Rumania will obtain a stabili- zation loan. of $60,000,000 *from British, French and American banks, | it was learned today. | The loan will go for the stabiliza- tion of Rumanian finances and in- creasing the military strength of the government.

Expose Attempt to Spread Fascism in U.S. (Continued from Page One) hefore the world, of a “crime” even recognized as such by the capitalist governments—namely, that of forg- ing French francs wholesale. “This fascist delegation comes os- tensibly to unveil a monument in New York to the memory of Kossuth. The cuestionable popularity of Kossuth is to be utilized to lay the basis for another loan from Wall Street, and to reach if possible the American- Hungarian workers and to secure their spare dollars to strengthen the weakening foundations of the Horthy government, so that it can perpetrate fresh crimes upon the Hungarian masses and go ahead with its plans for war on neighboring countries and particularly on the Soviet Union. Mussolini Aids Horthy. “Workers of America! Do not per- mit the strengthening of the shaky Horthy government. Do not permit this delegation to succeed in its plot to gain new resources and to strengthen the shackles that the Hor- thy government has laid upon the workers and peasants of Hungary. “This delegation comes and this governmental farce is performed at a time when Hungary, under the yoke of the fascisti, is the center of world- wide scandzl, when it becomes mani- fest that Mussolini is sending arms { to his friend-Horthy, when it becomes | obvious that the government of the; Uungarian white terror, with the aid of Mussolini, is planning an attack | on Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and!

Herbert Hoover, | “favorite” candidate for the presi-} dency, used the so-called relief funds | } i} i in 1919 to starve the workers and peasants’ government of Hungary and to advance the overthrow of the Hun- garian Soviets. Jeremiah Smith “brought order” and Morgan financ- ing and control into the financial re- gime of the Hungarian fascist dicta- torship.

Capitalists Receive Fascists. “Tt is quite natural that Américan capitalism should receive the Hun- garian fascists with enthusiasm. They are lining up police forces and state troops for the reception of the five hundred odd fascisti.
