The report said that Poland and the Little Entente nations, Rou- mania, Czechoslovakia, and Jugo- slavia had agreed, and that France and Great Britain were prepared to agree. PARIS, Aug. 11—The contradic- tions between the major European powers, which all wish to keep Ger- |many out of Austria, but also wish to keep each other from gaining prestige in the process, stood out sharply today as the newspapers took up the aftermath of the pro- tests of England, France and Ger- many against Nazi propaganda in Austria. The protests were to-be made un- der the Four Power Pact, which calls for close consultation of -the various powers. But it now sppears that England as well as Italy with- hefd its written note. The Italian ambassador in Ber- lin had a private conversation ‘with the German Foreign office, and re- ceived a promise that the Nazi ac- tions would cease. The British am- bassador thereupon made only an oral protest, but France was not advised of this, and Andre Francois- Poncet, the French ambassador, was the only one to submit a written note, and received a frigid reply: Meanwhile, the German radio at- tacks on Chancellor Dollfuss of Aus- tria became even sharper. Con- servative French newspapers are-de- manding that France now withdraw from the Four-Power pact.

Main Link Is Carrying Out of Correct Policy Every Party member must now understand that it de- pends on correct policy and above all, the execution of the correct policy whether we will be able to mobilize the masses of workers for struggle and’ whether our Party, in this his- torically favorable situation will become the decisive mass Party of the American proletariat, or whether the bourgeoisie with the help of its social-fascist and fascist agents will suc- ceed in disorganizing the mass movement and keeping it down. Never before was the situation in the country so favorable for the development of the Communist Party into a real reyo- lutionary mass Party. But from this it follows also that failure of the Party to understand its chief task—namely, to become rooted in the decisive industrial centers, in the important big factories—never before represented such great danger for the fulfillment of our revolutionary tasks as a whole—(From the OTTAWA, Aug. 11—The Canad- | “Open Letter.”) ys Nazi Edict Hits At Foreign Ship Lines BERLIN, Aug. 11.—Practically a deathblow to the German trade of non-German passenger steamship lines is dealt by a Nazi decree which forbids exportation of more than 200 marks by any individual.

It declares that the Jews are guilty of every crime against humanity committed in the last 2,000 years. It declares that there is a Jewish plot to de- stroy all other peoples. “There is an anti-semitism which means that the Jews are slain by the Gentiles, who have come to the end of their endur- ance,” the book says. “This anti- semitism is terrible but its resuiis are beneficent. It solves the Jew- -ish problem by destroying the Jews. This anti-semitism comes from God himself.” made by Berg, leader of the work- ers and peasants’ fraction in the Latvian parliament.

By | PAYROLLS FALL 25-P.C. AS NAZIS CLAIM JOB GAIN Forced Labor Reduces Official Jobless Totals BERLIN, Aug. 11.—The German newspapers announce with glaring headlines that unemployment has been reduced 25 per cent from Jan- uary to the last half of July. The official figures of the National In- surance Institute are 4,486,000 un- employed in July, as against 6,041,- 000 in January. But the Reich Statistical Office re- ports at the same time that the re-~ ceipts from the 10 per cent wage tax on all wages of 100 marks (about, $32) a month have fallen off by 25 per cent. Whether the number of officially unemployed has decreased or not, the payrolls have decreased by at least 25 per cent since Hitler came to power. The decrease in unemployment ac- tually represents the increase in forced labor. The unemployed are made to work at “wages” which are no higher than their previous un- employment benefits, or for food alone, as ‘in the case of the 150,000 men and women in the “labor service army.” Announcing a hew “drive against unemployment” in September, Adolf Hitler in his speech at Berchtes- ly intended to “hold the. gains ob- tained during the summer.” No ef- fort to increase employment is even projected until next Spring. This admission of Hitler that he expects employment to fall off at the end of summer is an indication of the misery the’ German masses can expectas winter comes on.

At this conference which is fol- lowed this week-end by the Middle- Western Conference at Chicago and by the Western Conference some time later, delegates of the John Reed Clubs of Boston, New Haven, Hart- ford, New York, Paterson, Philadel- phia, of the Jack London Clubs of Newark and Kearney, of the Work- ers’ Cultural. Clubs of Norwich, Bridgeport and New London re- corded a series of achievements of undoubted importance, but at the same time noted failings and weak- nesses to be overcome in the struggle toward a real mass base for our cul- tural movement and the building of a proletarian culture. The programs adopted interna- tionally at the Kharkov Conference in 1931 and by the Chicago Confer- ence of John Reed Clubs last year were reaffirmed. In discussing these programs, the work accomplished, and our short- comings, the delegates pledged a sharp break with all tendencies to- ward sectarianism and isolation, to win over intellectuals and to develop working-class cadres in the cultural fields, and to establish a broad mass base as the prerequisite for the cre- ation of a genuine proletarian cul- ture. Several very difficult organiza- tional problems arose, but these were resolved by the adoption of a resolu- tion which, while keeping the spe- cialized organizational forms deyel- oped in the larger cities (such as New York, where it is possible to have a strong club composed solely of artists and writers), also makes provision for specifically local or- ganizational forms needed in the smaller cities (such cities as Pat- terson, for example, where there is only one organization active on the cultural front). The John Reed Clubs represent the only national English-speaking cultural organiza- tion, and we believe it our duty to give leadership and to show initia- tive. The resolution points out the transitional form of organization proposed, stating that such an or- ganizational form is made necessary by the conditions. It is our intention that the work of the John Reed Clubs should be developed in such a way that all available forces in any locality will be organized into various craft cul- tural organizations in the end, al- though for this transitional period of early development these cultural forces may be organized into the local John Reed Clubs. The goal of this procedure is the organization of a National Revolu~ tionary Cultural Federation, through the building of city and state fed- erations. In this Federation, the John Reed Clubs would represent the writers’ and artists’ section only, along with the other craft group- ings. But until this goal is a little nearer realization, the John Reed Clubs pro- pose to act as an initiator and or- ganizer of the English-speaking cul- tural front wherever possible and wherever conditions make it neces- sary. The conference commemorated the life and revolutionary work of Harry Alan Potamkin by a resolution and by. standing in silence for one min- olutions demanding the release. of Tom Mooney and Warren Billings, demanding the release of othor class war prisoners, and of the Scottsboro boys, and protesting against the reign the result that protesting non-Cor munists are obliged to take Comm nist leadership.” 8 he German Socialists Join Reds SAARBRUCK, Aug. 11—The Fas. cist dictatorship has entirely failed t stop the activities of the Communis Party in Baden-Palatinate, despit: numerous arrests.
