By Simbach wayne Deepening 1 Mass Re-| sistance Admitted by) ‘Times’ Correspondent} NEW YORK, July 24—The power- ful struggles of the Communist Party of Germany and the growing dissen- tion in the Nazi ranks, which the revolutionary press has been con- stantly reporting while the capitalist press kept silent, broke through the} censorship today in a special article to the New York Times by Anne O’Hare McCormick. In an obviously heavily censored dispatch, Miss “McCormick neverthe-| Jess acknowledges the widespread revolutionary activity of the Commu- | nist Party, which she says is the only Party carrying on a fight against fascism in Germany. She also forecasts a crisis in the fascist party due to its complete fail- ure to provide jobs or fulfil any of | its demagogic “socialist” promises. She grudgingly acknowledges the growth of Communist influence in the working class, through its fight against fascism, saying that the Par- ty has been strengthened by the sup- | pression of the other parties. This Strength can only ccrne from tha fact that only the Communist Party has continued to fight. At the same time she confirms the | fact, repeatedly illustrated in uncen- sored dispatches in the “Daily Work- er” obtained through revolutionary channels, that there is a growing in- surgent movement in the lower ranks of the Nazis, of the poorer elements, who are demanding that Hitler ful-/| fil his “socialist” promises. Sees “Communism or Chaos” These facts are equally demon- strated by the unprecedented terror- istic measures which the Nazis are forced to intensify every day. In ad- dition to extending the death penalty © sition to the fascist regime, and even | carrying out wholesale internment of | Storm Troopers who begin to see} through the Nazi demagogy, the Na-| zis are now seizing the children and) other relatives of their opponents, in| a desperate endeavor to maintain their power. “The violence preached for the past! ten years is not satisfied by the sup-| pressive measures already taken,” says Miss McCormick, adding that Hitler has totally failed to provide any jobs for the unemployed masses.| “As the Germans see it,” she adds, “there is no end to this regime ex- cept Communism or chaos,” Only the Communists are fighting Hitler, she is forced to admit, The specter of a working class revolution is uppermost in the minds of all the non-fascist elements of the German ruling class, who, she says, have re- vealed their fear by the readiness German Communist Party Grows As Hitler Intensifies Terror Is Seen as Only Way Out with which all other political parties and, in Sunday’s elections, the Prot- estant churches, have abdicated be- fore Hitler.

VICTORY IN LOS ANGELES 2,000 Jam School Hall Despite Police Squad i | | | LOS ANGELES, Page 24.—The Friends of the Soviet Union scored a victory over the forces of reaction in Los Angeles with the holding of a big mass meeting on recognition of the Soviet Union at Poltechnic High School last Friday night where more than 2,200 people jammed the auditorjum and responded with en- thusiastic applause to the various speakers. Among the speakers were Rev. E. P. Ryland, Rabbi Julius A. Leibert, Lor- ist, who toured the Soviet Union re- cently, Thomas R. Lynch, prominent Los Angeles Attorney and Catholic layman, Mrs. Harriet Prenter, Sidney Terwilliger, engineer from the Stal- ingrad Tractor Plant and A. I. Wirin, | militant ILD attorney. ‘The audience voted unanimously | for the recognition of Soviet Russia and also an approval of the school of the public school auditorium for the meeting. | Several hundred names were turn- }ed in for the FSU mailing list and a number of workers signed member- | ship cards, This was the second meeting called for this auditorium. At the first meet- ing, American Legion hoodlums and members of the “red squad” turned the lights out and endangered the lives of several thousand people. Through the constant pressure of the workers of Los Angeles, the school board was forced to let the FSU use the auditorium. “Red” Hynes and his red squad hung around the prem-. ises waiting for trouble, but he was sorely disappointed. About ten uni- formed policemen were stationed in- side the hall, at the command of Mayor Shaw, to “keep order.” Nazi Death Threats Do Not Stop Red Paper BREMEN, July 24—Posters spread all over Bremen by Chief Laue of the police department, declaring that the death penalty will be,imposed “unless certain circles cease their Marxist ac- tivities,” have not prevented the reg- ular weekly appearance of the | “Scheinwerfer,” organ of the Unity | Union of Seamen, Dockers, and In- | land Seilors, and of the “Sturmer,” jorgan of the young revolutionary | youth of the Bremen workers’ dis- | trict. | Repeated raids by Storm Troopers | in the workers’ quarter have failed to discover the place where these papers | are printed.

LANSDALE Perkasie, Bucks Co., Pa, | Comrade Editor: I read the letter to the Party mem- bers in the Daily Worker and de- spite that I am not a member of the Party, I have to say that it was | highest time to call the members to | the front. I am a very poor farmer | and have to make my living by go- ing to work and come in contact with workers. Very often I hear them say that they are very dissatis- fied with their conditions and they all show a revolutionary spirit. But because the Party members are very, very slow in their educational work, these workers do not even know that a Party exists which is fighting for their economic betterment. For many years I have been read- ing the “Daily” and I do my best to show ray fellow workers on the job the way out of misery. I am a little handicapped in this work because as a German, I can’t speak the\Eng- |lish language so very good. But I |found that the English-speaking | brothers are willing to listen.. Why? | Because the hunger-whip which the | bosses use to introduce the Roosevelt “New Deal” hurts them very badly. If only every Communist—-and espec- ially every member of the C. P.— would do a little more work, the re- sult would be great, Every Party member must preach the and read and subscribe to it. * 8 «@ few days ago I met two Party members at a farmers meeting. I talked with them about the Daily— and as true as my name is... not one of them was a subscriber to the Daily Worker! And I gave them hell! I told them straight in the face that such Communists do not count much today, in a period of revolutionary fermentation among workers and poor farmers. Yes, the Letter was very necessary. Right here in Bucks and Mont- gomery County in the State of Penn- sylvania, the members of the Com- munist Party had a great deal of work to do. In Lansdale. and in other towns the workers went on strike against their textile bosses and showed a real revolutionary spirit, But the leadership went into the hands of reactionaries, because the Communists and National Textile Union leaders were missing. Lans- dale is not far from Philadelphia. Where were the leaders from Phila~ delphia? In Perkasie, a few days ago, Jim Maurer of Reading spoke about the Roosevelt Slavery Act and in a real socialist manner he did not show the way owt of-this American capitalist “Daily” dictatorship. And again I have to ask, where were the Communists to expose the Slavery Act? Yes, the Letter was necessary! 'VERY member of the Party should follow the instructions of the Let- ter and should understand that among the workers and poor dirt farmers a revolutionary spirit is alive and that through a little more active work among these two sections of the toiling population the foundation for political mass action will be laid. The fight against hanger and for unemployment insurance has to be carried on in city, town and village! Urban and rural proletariat have to join hands in that fight. And that fight will be much stronger this com- ing fall and winter! Every Commu- nist should know that there is a new economic and financial breakdown ahead and that millions more will have to starve. The leadership in the fight against hunger must be in the hands cf the Communists. Only the C. P. in this country shows how and where io get bread for the starving massis. * ND the poor dirt farmers have to be educated and organized for that fight. Only the Communist Party can‘ bring them real help. The poor dirt farmers with taxes back for years and back in payments of interest can’t pay these debts. No moratorium can help them. Only cancellation of taxes and mortgage interests and mortgages could bring them relief for a certain time within the system of capitalism. And again the Communists have the duty to show the poor dirt farmers that only Communist Party is whole-heart- them their the edly with and that they must insist in r different farmers’. or- “If only every Communist—and especially every member of the C.

And I gave them heB! such Communists do not count much IN A PERIOD OF REVOLUTIONARY FERMENTATION AMONG THE WORKERS AND POOR FARMERS.” ganizations on these postulates. The letter warns that the farmers’ organizations might be absorbed by petty-bourgeois organizations. This warning is correct! And if the C. P. members don't do their duty soon among the poor dirt farmers, the danger of losing a revolutionary inclined element in the rural sec- tions of the country will increase. The fight against the castle of capitalism will be decided in the factories and mines. The means of production are assembled there and used by the owners as instruments for their enrichment ond for the en- slavement of the workers. And, there fore, the Letter is correct when it says that much more work to build the Party nuclei in the factories has to be done. Germany shows us what it means to have a real entrenchment in the factories. The Communists there are doing their work under the barbarian Hitler just the same. Why? Because they haye build Communist cells in the factories and created an apparatus which workers even un- der the worst circumstances can make use of. tal a ND in America, fascism t on the road. Nobody should fowget this. Roosevelt will be named in history the “Roadbuilder of American Fas- cign”, This-slavery act is here * ry stay and the reactionary labor lead- ers have to help to build the fascist frame work. The differeace between fascism in America and Europe just now is that our American exploiters know how to beautify the road to fascism with “democratic flowers”. But the American workers will be very much surprised when these flowers will have died off. American fascism will be just as barbaric as Mussolini's and Hitler's. And the Communists have to organize this army against the beast of fascism. They must build in the factories and mines nuclei in ,order to fight fascism with revoiutionary class struggle. Great work lies ahead of every member of the Communist Party. But every reader of the Daily Worker also has the duty to do his share. He should show the Daily to his neigh- bors and to his fellow-workers on the job. He should tell them about in- teresting articles in the “Daily” and try to get subscribers. And if every- body does his share with real pro- letaridh honor and responsibility, I am convinced that this coming win- ter, the Party will be prepared for the great fight against hunger and starvation. And thet fight can’t be prevented. Neither by Roosevelt nor by our social-patriots. Come on and aa ial ‘ 3) & | Well Received by Booseveit.

EMPTY POMP COST CITY $5,000,000 AS WORKERS STARVE By PASCUAL ' The half million dollar George Washington Bicentennial Building at Bryant Park is no longer visible. All except the steel girders. And orders from the Park Commissioner yester~ day were that the girders be cut up and removed. And with this removal goes $475,- 000 of expenses. Mayor James J. | Walker wanted to solve unemploy- ment. He wanted workers to remem~= ber the glorious slave owner who was the “father off the country.” And so the building was erected; veterans made 50 cents a day selling booklets outside the gate; cannons and ma- chine guns were placed on exhibi- tion in the park with officers to ex- plain how many workers could bs killed. with one shot. The building is gone: the $475,000 is gone, the veterans are still starv- ing, however, with all the other un- employed workers. The many hundreds of homeless workers will once again be able to claim the benches of Bryant Park for their own. That is, until the cop comes along and whacks them with his club across the soles of their feet, Tired workers, weary from haunt- ing the agencies on Sixth Avenue and 42nd Streat will once again sit in the park without being forced to ‘pay a quarter to look at the exact imitation of the building where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Four hundred and _ seventy-five thousand dollars could have well been used for the relief of unem- ployed workers.
