Foreign and JULY 24, 1933 The ruling class uses the Balbo flight to whip up the poisons of nationalism and fascism among the masses in preparation for war. All Out, August 1, against war and Fascism! Prussian Cabinet Orders Death for All Foes of Nazis Brooklyn Student Faces Death in Fascist Court! on Charge of High Treason; Pardons | for Nazi Killers BERLIN, July mier, announced that the Pru death penalty for a whole new American student, Walter Orlc was charged with high treason penalty is death. His arrest. was reported a few days ago, on the charge of “inciting Com- munist activity”. The rising tide of mass resistance to fascism in Prussia, and the suc- cesses of Communist propaganda, were given as the cause for Goering hurried return from his vacation on an island in the North Sea to the new death Prussian cabinet. Death is to be the penalty for im- Porting any anti-fascist literature, or for spreading reports of Nazi atroci- ties, as well as for any other “sub- versive activity”. Proof of Intention Enough. “Whoever hereafter lays hands on supporters of the nationalist move- | ment, or an organ of the state. shall | know that he will pay with his life for it in the shortest time, and the simple establishment of intention Shall be sufficient for conviction”, he said. This decree still requires ap- proval by the federal government, but Goering said he was sure he would get it. Two other decrees were put into effect by Goering’s cabinet at once. The first sets up a special prosecut- ing bureau and special rapid-action | courts*to try and sentence all poli- tical offenders. The second gives Goering the ex- clusive power to pardon, or to quash legal action against any offender, if he is satisfied that the crime was committed “in the servic? of thé na- tional revolution”. Not only will the accused indivi- duals suffer the extreme penalties de- creed by the Prussian cabinet, but their families will also be made to suffer. Any sentencé automatically cancels all pensions, unemployment insurance, or social welfare supror! of all members of the family of the accused: EIGHT REDS GET DEATH SENTENCE Cologne, Hamburg Courts in Lynch Verdicts BERLIN, July 23.—Seven Commu- nists have been condemned to death in Cologne for the death of two Nazis. Only three of them were charged with taking part in the »Shooting; the cther four were merely accused of “inciting.” A <fce'r! court in Hamburg has Pass: * seavence of death on one man and iinpc >i heavy jail sentences on fifteen others for the shooting of a Policeman during a political demon- stration. One of the defendants com- mitted suicide in his cell. A year-old child was shot and kill- ed in the arms of its mother, the wife of Hermann Bohne, a worker, at Schwedt-on-Oder, during a raid by Nazis. This is a district where Fas- cist terror is especially raging. Three thousand Berlin policemen have peen fired on suspicion of anti- Nazi sympathies, including many who had been in the service many years. POST FINISHES RECORD FLIGHT Encircles Top of World In Fastest Time NEW, YORE, July 23—Wiley Post concluded his round-the-world flight when he arrived at Floyd Bennett airport, Brooklyn, at midnight Sat- urday. He had encircled the top of the globe in 7 days, 18 hours and 50 minutes, thus beating the record set by himself and Harold Gatty two years ago over approximately the same route. Their time then was 8 days, 15 hours and 51 minutes. The last lap of the flight was from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, where Post stopped and took a 30-minute nap and then proceeded on the final 2,100 mile hop, which he made with- out incident, flving at an average speed of 165 miles n hour. Since noon Saturday crowds wait- ed on the field for his arrival. By midnight the field was jammed with spectators, not less than 40,000 crowding the place. my Red Taken from Jail; Lynched in Prussia BERLIN, July 23.—A Communist mamed Lange, charged with firing birdshot at a Storm Trooper named Holiger, was dragged out of the police station at Konigsberg, and lynched. The “Volkische Beobach- ter,” Nazi newspaper reported that “the cowardly crime (of Lange) nat- urally aroused the rage of the pop- ulation.” Thus the official Nazi newspaper incites to lynching.

To appease the rich landlord and parasitic village gentry who lost their holdings, the Nanking regime proposes to reim- burse them by paying them with bonds, the taxes for which would be levied on the peasants and workers. This latest move which will not fool the peasants who gained their land through the Soviets and the Red Army, comes after Chiang Kai Shek, despite the mobilization of his entire armed forces, nearly 1,000,000 men, was unable through repeated | major wars to destroy the power of the Soviets. Professor Hu Shi, many months ago advised Chiang Kai Shek that the peasants in the Soviet territories would never relinquish their land, and that their seizure of the land should be recognized in order to make it easier to destroy the Soviets which secure the land for them. The | object, of course, being once the So- viets are out of the way to retake the land through a. wholesale -the revolutionary peasants and workers, The toi he Soviet distrigts as well as thn?

Twenty million church men and women will voie for Reich Bishop, elders and deacons. The Nazi ticket is headed by Rev. Dr. Lu@- wig Mueller, army chepiain, and “Hitler’s plenipotentiary in church affairs’ The opposition ticket is headed by Rev. Dr. Friedrich von Bodeischwing, recently elected Reich Bishop, who was deposed by order of Hitler because he is not a Nazi. The outcome of the vote will ad- mittedly be a Nazi victory, as all opposition publicity has been sup- pressed, and Nazi terror is being exerciseg everywhere against the opposition, Trish Fascist Party and Republican Army Prepare for Conflict DUBLIN, July 23—An open clash between the Irish Free State forces supported by the Irish Republican Army, and the blue-shirted Irish fas- cists, the old Army Comrades Asso- ciation, is expected when the fas- cists hold their parade on August 13., The government promises an edict forbidding the fascists to wear a uni- form, or to carry arms.

FRENCH S. P. DEPUTIES GO FASCIST Social Fascists Turn, Into National Socialists SOCIALIST PARTY SPLIT? Blum’s Chief Aide ig Head of New Party PARIS, July 23. — Nearly half of the socialist deputies in the French parliament have split with the Socialist Party and organized the National Socialist Party of France, fol- lowing their break with the leadership over their vote in support of the French army and navy budget. Fifty-five of the 129 socialist dep- uties took part in organizing this fascist party, led by Pierre Renaudel, for many years the chief lieutenant of Leon Blum, leader of the French Social Democracy, Adrien Marquet, sccialist mayor and deputy of Borde- aux, and Marcel Deat of Paris. They said they expected to be joined by most of the others of the 80 deputies who voted to approve the war budget last week, and were re- buked by the party.

Finnish Fascists Lose 10 Seats in Elections HELSINGFORS, Finland, July 23. —The ‘“Lappos,” Finnish Fascists, lost 10 seats in thé recent election to the Diet. They elected only 32 can- didates, in place of the former 42. The social democrats gained 13, get- ting 79 seats, the peasants lost seven, getting 52, and the Swedish party kept its 21 seats. The Communist Party is illegal, and could have no candidates. Since there are prac- tically no Jews in Finland, the Fas- cists had to find another butt toward which to divert the anti-capitalist feeling of the masses, so their na- tionalism is directed against the a further cut would mean complete starvation, Swedish minority, about 11 percent of the population, Inflated Stocks Crash pRetrese ® Like 1929 Panic But It} tremendous flop in the grain and Comes After Four Years of Crisis WN the 46th day after the pas- sage of! the National Industrial Recovery Act, the stock market that had been jacked up by inflation, be- gan to crack as in the ominous days in the late summer of 1929. At that time, the stock market crash whic! brought consternation to the capi- talists and mass unemployment and starvation to the workers, was a symptom of overproduction and the beginning of the era of the deepest crisis of American capitalism.) Today we see every sign of deep- ening crisis, of greater instability of the capitalist system, with the most crushing burden added by the Roosevelt regime—rapidly mounting food prices at a time when new millions are to be shoved into the ranks of the unemployed. ior stock market crash does not stand alone. It is not just the result of speculation, stock gambling, but comes at a time when the basic industries, speeded up through shots of inflation, are beginning to slow up. It comes at a time when over- production has reached ‘the point when the plants must slow down be- cause the wages of the workers were kept at the starvation level so that the workers could not begin to ab- sorb even an infinetesimal portion of the mass of goods they had pro- duced. With the drop in stocks came-a As Pencuiction Begins to Slow Up . cotton markets at the time when the farmers were preparing to har- vest. their crops. The farmers had gained nothing ia the grain price rises. But with the smash in grain prices, the government stepped into the grain market,. as openly ad- mitted by all the capitalist» news- papers to save ths profits of the big grain gamblers, The government is now in the grain market to hold prices at a level suitable to the grain speculators, + 8 « 1 bao new stock and grain crash, the slowing up of production due to overproduction, comes at a time when capitalism is still chocked with the huge surpluses which originally caused the crisis. The additional overproduction will intensify in a worse degree than ever the basic factors of the crisis. Capitalism has been in crises for four years. Millions of workers have been without jobs for this whole period. The wages of the workers have been smashed Aqwn over 50 per cent. Speed-up, rationalization, has gone on at such a pace that the huge surpluses were actually produced with less workers than ever before. Inflation is gnawing at the heart of the entire working class. The impending new deepening of the crisis comes at a time when Roose- velt is rapidly preparing for war, when the antagonisms of the capi- talist powers are reaching a higher pitch. ‘ . + « oO the day the stock market crashed, the Daily Worker pub- lished the fact that steel production was slowing. down. It pointed - out that automobile production was slowing up because the auto bosses could not find marxeis ror the mass of cars they had already produced. Most outstanding of all, the Daily Worker showed that at the height of the upturn, sales in department stores went down and food pur- chases in the Atlantic: & Pacific ‘stores were some millions of dollars and thousands of tons less than last year before Roobevelt applied his inflation injection. Rio we iS situation was bound to lead to new smashes for capitalism. It was certain to lead to overproduc- tion, to greater unemployment and | starvation for the masses, : But still a newer factor was add- ed. The crash was intensified by the bitter financial struggie between the United States and Great Britain, The British bankers, feeling the ef- fects of the struggle for world mar- kets due to inflation in the United States, proceeded to lower the val- ue of the pound by dumping Brit- ish bonds on the American market. The effect of the stock crash in the United States, the growing bat- tle between the two foremost robber powers, the declining production in the United States, will stimulate the general crisis of world capitalism, widening its base, undermining still further the instability of world cap- italism, Y bia Roosevelt regime is not blind to the oncoming deepening of the economic crisis in the United States. there are feverish conferences in the White House these days. The na- tional industrial recovery act has not brought — prosperity—not - even - the . * * faintest glimmerings of prosperity. It has brought its opposite. The na- tional industrial recovery act has brought greater unemployment in the first industry it was applied— cotton textiles. The act, coupled with all the other measures of the “new | deal,” has raised the cost of living of the workers to an intolerable de- greé, ‘Bread is up, meat is up, milk is up, cl¢y ‘ng is going up.

Roosevelt has been bluffing the workers, but he cannot bluff them when the pay envelopes grow slimmer and when the ranks of the unemployed begin to choke the breadlines and the re- lief bureaus. . In the face of the deepening crisis within the crisis, the Roosevelt re- gime is looking for new ways out. The industrial recovery act is mov- ing too slowly, so Roosevelt proposes a blanket code—but behind this blanket code is being built up a war | propaganda machine the like of which has not been since the days when the present duped vets were the “boys marching over there.” It is no accident that all the para- phernalia of war is being trotted out. 6 Fe hye Dip in Production and More Unemployment Will Follow talist crisis. This is shown in many ways. and are refused relief of unem- ployment insurance, the Roosevelt regime is spending more than $900,- 000,000 for war preparations. The conflicts between the U. S. and Britain will sharpen in the struggle for financial supremacy and for world markets, particularly Latin American markets, Japan are racing for naval arma- ments, and Japan has already point~ ed out that the $50,000,000 loan to the Nanking government is the first move of the United States to war. That war is already beginning through the movement of 50,000 of Chiang Kai Shek’s troops, subsidized by Wall Street. A fesse amassing huge war stocks, Wall Street by all means seeks to instigate a war between Japan and the Soviet Union. As the crisis “deepens, all these war preparations will be intensified.

While Leon Blum arid a fraction which appears likely to be a minority of the former socialist repersentation in parliament remairy in the fold of the Second Interna: tional to carry out the services to the? bourgeoisie under “Marxist” slogans, the rest have followed the footsteps of Mussolini, who was also once a “socialist” leader. Under the blows of the crisis, and the imminent danger of war, the so- cial democracy of France is forced to come more openly than ever before to the rescue of its bourgeoisie with a striking division of labor between those who drop the mask of Marx- ism and those who still keep it in order to retain influence over the great masses of the radicalized work- ers. ‘USE LATEST WAR FOUIPMENT FOR ARMY MANEUVERS | Utilize Big Guns In Nat'l Guard War Preparations SYRACUSE, N.
