While the bourgeis coalition parties, including the so- cial-democrats, have been falling all over themselves to prove that the Young Plan offers more advan- tages to the German bourgeoisie than the Dawes Plan, the openly re- | actionary folks party, party of the big capitalists, developed a fake fight over financial matters with their more disguised fascist social- democratic colleagues. Faced with a growing army of un- employed, the social fascist govern- ment does not want to interfere with the bosses’ profits to pay fon unemployed doles, while at \h2 same time it fears to lose influence with workers if it does not pretend to defend the unemployed. ‘Ine ‘so- cialists,” supported by President Von Hindenburg and the Catholic party, proposed a tax on salaried employees earning more then 8,100 marks, or about $2,000 annually. this way they hope, not to raise 150,000,000 marks to meet the mis- erable unemployment insurance re- quirements of the current burget year, but to pretend to “fight” for something which they know will be denied by the other bourgeois par- ties, while they appear as “defend- ers” of the workers. The folks party deputies unani- mously rejécted this proposal and decided to withdraw their two mem- bers—Foreign Minister Julius Cur- tius and Finance Minister Molden- hauer—from the cabinet. The folks party is against any attempt to tax the incomes of *»: German capitalists, and is therefore In| demanding financial legislation that | will serve “business and industry,” | jthat is, the capitalists. | | Finance Minister Moldenhauer | agreed with his fellow deputies of he folks party, and is ready to hand | jin his resignation, All the bour- | ‘is parties, including the “social- | geo is are ready to saddle the Ger- |man working class with the Young | Plan, the only real opposition against |this being put up by the Communist Party deputies.
