The March number of this maga zine contains revelations that ex- pose the true role of the German socialist and trade union leaders in this period when the fascist dicta- torship is conducting the most ruth- less terror against the working masses. The March issue states that there has been concluded a secret] understanding between the former chancellor, (who still has control of the army) and the social-democratic and trade union. leaders. Predict Hitler Bankruptcy. General von Schleicher, the maga- zine declares, is of the opinion that in four months at the latest Hitler| will be bankrupt and will be unable to carry on any further. When that time comes, Schleicher, with the sup-| VON SCHLEICHER port of the social-democratic and trade union leaders, will proclaim “the social military dictatorship.” This is no idle fantasy or specula- tion. These are facts. Schleicher and his Junker army are the last hope of Socisl-Democracy. To the question, who will fight with whom? the social-democratic leaders in this case answer, not with words, but with deeds: the social-democratic and trade union leaders will fight with Schleicher for a social-fascist military dictatorship. Against Hit- Jers fascism? No, against the work~- ing class. These revelations throt consider- able light on the behavior of the leaders of Social-Democracy in face of the persecutions of the Mitler dic- tatorship. Gallows for Workers. After the burning of the Reichstag by National Socialist agents, when an order was issued for the arrest of all Communist functionrries and Communist newspapers, posters, pam- phlets and manifestoes were prohib- ited, all the social-democratic papers were also banned in Prussia for 14 days and a large number of social- democratic workers were arrested, Yes, it sounds like a joke; an or- der for arrest was actually issued against Friedrich Stampfer, the editor-in-chief of Vorwaerts, chief socialist organ, and against another Vorwaerts editor, Victor Schiff, who boasted not long ago that in 1925 he had persuaded the French Govern- ment to permit “an increase” in the number of police in Prussia Goering declar that |dangerous enemy is Communism. |"There is only one remedy against | | the most this evil, he said—the gallows.

General yon Schleicher | | | j“we declare openly, we will also not spare those who until not long ago were the main support of the exist- ing system—Social-Democracy. Also for their benefit there will be no lack of gallows.” Hitler Speech. How does the fascist government explain its struggle against the most faithful lackeys of the capitalist class? The explanation is so char- acteristic that we will give it here in an abbreviated form. Hitler de- clared: “Everything has been in the hands of the social-demoerats: the Prussian Government, police, and the whole state apparatus. For 14 years they ruled. But on July 21 of lust year a half dozen soldiers were enough to wipe out the struc- ture that had been built in the course of 14 years. How was it possible? Because at the head of the Social-Democratic Party there stands cowards who never consid- ered any interests other than their own jobs and pensions. The Sev- erings and Brauns were overjoyed when they were informed that de- spite the fact that they had been removed, their pensions of several thousand marks a month would continue to be paid. I want to give you one example ont of hundreds that +ceurred during the last few days, end you will understand what T mo«a. When on January 20 we took over the government, there still remained in Prussia a large number of social-democratic offi- cials. Among these there was one who at one t’me played a tre- mendous role in Germany, At that time, in the year 1919, he was talked about all over the world. He has remained an historic figure, His name is Gustav Noske. “There are in the ranks of my government those who believe that Noske prepared the ground, that if i¢ had not been for him Germany would have been swallowed by Communism. That may be; 1 leave that for historians to estab- lish. I have no time to bother my head with this question. At any rate, it is a fact that Noske is still @ leading member of the Social- Democratic Party. Since we are carrying on the sharpest struggle against this Party, one would think that on the day when we took over Expose Secret Pact Between Schleicher, Socialist Leaders Hitler, in Speech, Reveals Social-Democratic Officials Offered to Co-Operate in Fascist Government the government, such a person as Noske would come to us and de- clare: ‘I am unable to carry out your orders and am therefore re- signing.’ “But what actually happened? Noske came to my Minister of the Interior and declared, ‘I am ready to serve the new government,’ “Et is impossible for me to keep you,’ my Mi‘nister replied. “In that case,’ Noske said, ‘I beg you to pay me my pension in full, and in addition, the expenses of moving over into a new house.’ “These are facts which cannot be denied. This is the sort of leaders, the historic figures, that they have. These are the people who once played such a big role. They are dominated by one thought: their HINDENBURG pensions. T ask you: Can one feel anything but disgust for them? ‘These are worms that have to be crush So spoke Hitler. ‘The March issue of “Letters of Leaders” shows that the social-demo- cratic leaders remain true to their historic betrayal role in face of the most brutal terror by the Hitler dic- tatorship. But the working masses of Ger- many do not surrender. Under the leadership of the Communist Party, now hounded practically into illegal- ity, there is growing up the united front of all tollers that will defeat the maneuvers of the social-demo- cratic leaders and put an end to the fascist dictatorship, WORKS OF MARXISM-LENINISM International Publishers has set itself the task of publishing in English translations the works of Marx and Engels, and of Lenin and Stalin. ‘The books already published are listed below and many addi- tional works are now in preparation.

I. Executive Committee arrested are Ernest Grube, Willy Prietzel and Paul Zobel. August Delaune, secretary of the French labor sports organization, was arrested on the way to a meeting in Berlin. The French ministry for fo- reign affairs claim that if does not know where Delaune is. Workers’ gymnasiums have been raided and, in many cases, wantonly destroyed. The equipment of the workers ‘rifle clubs all over the coun- try has been confiscated. In Eisleben ® group of workers’ children gaing through gymnastic exercises were cruelly beaten by an invading Nazi band. Reformist and revolutionary sport groups have both felt the heavy hand of fascism. Sport International Appeals ‘The Red Sports International has issued an appeal to all worker sports- men which states in part: “For weeks fascist terror has raged in Germany. It now has been raised by the Hitler government to the position of an official program. The prohibitions of meetings and sport events, the numerous police searches in the sport halls and the closing of these halls, have been followed by the shutting of the Central Bureau of the Fighting Alliance for Red Sport Unity. “We call upon all the sport-lov- ing masses in all countries to de- velop « mighty protest movement against this attack. Worker sports- men, show your solidarity with the German worker sportsmen! Protest in your meetings and demonstra- tions against fascist terror in Ger- ! Demand the release of the arrested worker sportsmen! The fascist attack must be met by the united front of all toiling sports- men irrespective of organization!” Labor Sports Union Fights Terror The Labor Sports Union of Ameri- ca is sending out a call to all its or- ganizations and all other sport groups to send protest telegrams to the Ger- man embassy. In New York City sportsmen are beine mobilize: for the demonstration in front of the Ger- man embassy Saturday morning. Marine Workers Call to Demonstrate on Matsuoka’s Arrival NEW YORK.—The Marine Workers Industrial Union called upon its members and all other marine work- ers to join the other workers of New York on Thursday morning at Pier 59, foot of West 18th St., to demon- strate against Yosuke Matsuoka, the envoy of Japanese imperialism who arrives on the Leylathan to carry out s mission of purchasing munitions and furthering the cause of the rap- ists of the Chinese people in this country. Anti-Imperial League Mobilizing All Forces Against Hitler Terror NEW YORK.—The Anti-Imperial- ist League will mobilize all its forces for the demonstration against Hitler barbarism and torture Saturday, March 25. The League summons all ite friends, sympathizers and sup- porters to take part. At its regular Monday night meet- ing the Balkan Anti-Fascist Comm't- tee voted to take part in the Satur- day demonstration against Hitler. It elected speakers to appeal to its asso- ciated language clubs, many of which have already made plans to join the demonstration. Scandinavian Workers’ Club Scores Nazi Rule NEW YORK.—The Scandinavian Workers Olub of 205 E. 49th St., un- animously demanded ‘the release of the workers’ leaders now being sub- jected to the German fascist blood- thirsty terror. They also demanded that the ban on the workers’ press be lifted at once and that the terror against Jews be stopped. ‘The club sent telegrams of tage’ * off all efforts to obtain ener- getic action against the fas- cist anti-semitic atrocities in Germany. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise even protested—against the use of the word “atrocity,” in a proposed resolution. Judge Proskauer stopped all proposals for demonstrations and marches against the Nazi anti-Jew- ish reign of terror. Melvin Levy Barred. ‘The novelist Melvin P. Levy was not allowed to speak on behalf of the National Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners, to offer its co-operation in organizing action against the Nazi terror. Levy, ney- ertheless, pointed out to Rabbi Wise that the 15,000,000 Socialist and Communist workers of Germany were the most effective force ready to aid the 600,000 German Jews in fighting the wave of anti-Semitic atrocities, but Rabbi Wise, in his own words,, “refused to have anything to do with Communists, Socialists, or any other political groups,” although for years the brunt of the entire fight against Hitler's anti-Semitic agitation has ben borne by the revo- jutionary German proletariat, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Germany. Jewish Banker Financed Hitler. German Fascism has always been inseparably associated with violent anti-Semitism, yet 3 prominent Jew- ish banker of Berlin, Jacob Gold- schmidt, director of the big Disconto- Gesellschaft bank, contributed 150,000 marks to the fighting fund of the Hitler party. A photostat of his per- sonal check was reprinted in the Berlin “Rote Fahne” some time ago. Plead Ignorance. At the Hétel Astor conference, Wise, Proskauer, Bernard Deutsch and others sabotaged all effective ac- tion, saying “the facts had not been studied enough.” They dared to say this, afser countless reports of mur- ders, beatings, kidnappings and ar- rests of Jews had filtered out through the ironclad Fascist censorship. Even Louis Lipsky, reactionary Zionist leader of the American Pales- tine Committee, fearing that the Jewish masses might revolt against their leaders’ sabotage, protested yes- terday in Chicago against “the tim~ idity of the Wise policy on German anti-semitism.” Fear Repudiation by Jewish Masses. The Jewish War Veterans’ organ- ization is defying Proskauer and Wise, and is organizing a mass dem- onstration march against Jewish per- secution in Germany, to be held to- day in New York. Now that the Jews of America are threatening to repudiate the leader- ship of Wise, Deutsch and their clique, Wise and Deutsch appeared yesterday in Washington to ask Se retary of State Hull to have tie American Embassy and consulates in Germany “make a complete repcrt on the German situation.” Wise admitted that the move of the bourgeois Jewish leaders w made under the pressure of t' masses of Jews in the United Statcs, teliiag of “the pressure under which we have been to give opportunity for the expression of the deep indign tion of American Jewry.” Wise also admitted that his group did not demand that une State D». partment “make an official protest at this time.” The Interfaith Committee Greater New York, Jewish-Gent: association of prominent bourgec leaders, including Al Smith, Bishc Manning, William Green of tlic American Federation of Labor, New- ton D. Baker, and Senators Wagn and Copeland, issued a_ prote; against Nazi anti-semitic persecy tion. “German People.” the same statement, howeve say that “we fully recogni: that the German people have the right to choose such rulers and suc form of government as they mey wish,” concealing the fact that tt German people’s voice is stifled, th: the Fascist regime vigorously sur presses any expression of popular di approval of bloody Nazi rule. ‘The New York Times adds its pious yoice to the chorus, writing editor- ially that “there is every disposition in this country to hope the best of the new Germany that is emerging.” Here we have the united bourgeois Gentile-Jewish front in this country, trying to stifle all energetic meas- ures of popular protest against Fas~ cist anti-semitic atrocities.. They are afraid that the masses’ protest may grow beyond the limits of protest agzinst anti-semitism, and may de~ yelop into action against the entire Fascist regime in Germany, The capitalist press repeats the “hoping for the best” which was their only answer to the Mussolini reign of ter- th they oo ror in Italy years ago, while Wise § and his clique go to Washington to make the masses of American Jews believe that “the Federal Govern~ ment will take case of everything” and there is no need for their mass protest. In Germany, it is the united forces of the workers that are the only ef- fective force against Hitler's Fas~ cism, and in America, it is the Jew~ ish and Gentile workers who must support their class comrades in Ger- many by organizing a huge wave of mass protest throaghout the United States, against the murders, torture and kidnapping of Jews by Hitlers Nazi squads, STREAM OF REFUGEES FROM NAZI MURDERERS TELL OF MANY SHOT Mangled Forms of Tortured Workers Thrown on Street, No Count Kept of Killings PARIS, March 22.—Refugees from the fascist terror raging in Germany are pouring across all borders.

Those suspected of sympathy with Communists, socialists, pacifists, ov even approving so-called modernist art are arrested or disappear. In dozens of places in every city and town the Nazis have their spe- cially prepared rooms where they take their prisoners, beat them with fists, whips, truncheons and sveel wires until many. are hopelessly crippled for life. Then the mangled forms of these tortured peonle are thrown on- to the strects. It is impossible to es- timate the number killed during these ordeals of torture. Torture Jews to Death STRASSBURG, Alsace, March 22. —Otto Lenz, a Jewish shopkeeper, was tortured to death today by Nazi storm troopers, a dispatch from Nu- renburg reports. The Nazis broke in- to his house at Strauping, Lower Ba- varia, kidnapped him in an auto, tortured him, knocked out his teeth with butts of revolvers, mutilated him and then poured a hail of bullets in- to his body. ‘Lenz, who leaves # wife and two in| children has brothers living in the state of Arkansas % the ited Sates of Amertes. try,” declare hundreds who have fled. | | VIENNA, March 22—The Reichs- post and the Weltblait, catholic newspapers here, continue to publish details of kidnapping, torture and death inflicted in Germany upon members of that faith. D. Fritz Gerlich; editor of the Mun- ich @atholic paper, “Der Garade Veg” was fiercely beaten after.
