The streets of Dublin were heavily patrolled, and armored cars bristling |with machine guns roared up and |down-the main streets. Two groups of Blue Shirts who ventured out were mobbed, and two members were seri- ously injured, The Communist Party of Ireland issued a’ statement explaining the role of Irish fascism and the Irish government, Communist Party Statement “In Ireland, Fascism takes an openly conservative-imperialist col- or,” the statement says. “But its aim is the same as Hitler’s. The monéyed interests and the church which is part and parcel of these interests, believe they can get to Fascism by a ‘safe conservative path, an open capitalist path, with- out as in Germany the need for an ‘anti-capitalist’ propaganda. |. “They are banking on the follow- ing to bring them 'to success: “That the de Valera government will be able to hold the masses quiet by getting them to trust to it to combat Fascism and uphold demo- eracy against both right and left. Irish Communists Expose DeValera’s Fascist Role “That the organized workers in the trade unions will be kept out of the anti-Fascist struggle by the trade union and labor leaders, by means of talk like ‘no politics in the unions’ and defense of demo- eracy; Irish Government Main Enemy “That the Irish Republican Army leadership will continues to avoid pushing forward with any real fight for the Republic, with attacks on the Communists and hold back the Re- publican masses from the united front and mass struggle, with verbal criticism of the de Valera govern- ment which is designed to paralyze all action.” The statement calls on the Irish workers to organize the anti-Fascist united front in all unions and or- ganizations, but to direct their main fire on the agencies which are hold- ing back the masses from struggle, and thus preparing the ground for the Fascist advance. “The Fianna Fail government is here the main enemy, and must be exposed as preparing the ground for O'Duffy and his ‘National Guard,’” it says.

Austria and Nazis Plan Fascist Front Without Full Union Concord Is Discussed by Representatives in Switzerland VIENNA, Aug. 14.—Negotiations for the complete fascisization of Austria by the formation of a Fas- cist united front of Nazis, other pro-German Austrian nationalists, and Chancellor Dollfuss’ Christian Fascists are under way now in Switzerland, according to reports bere yesterday. The Austrian government is al- ready Fascist in character. Its op- position to the Nazis is wholly in qsedience to Italy, France, and Great Britain, which are opposed to the strengthening of Germany by a union with Austria. The new Austrian Fascist front would accept the principles of Ger- man Fascism, while the Hitler gov- ernment would agree not to demand immediate political union.

Anti-Soviet Plans Seen in U.S. Army | Desert Maneuvers Only Soviet Union Has Deserts As Likely Battlefields EL PASO, Texas, “Aug. 14—The United States Army completed an important test here today proving that it is practicable to transport cavalry troops in motor trucks long distances over deserts. The cavalry squadrons of the Ist and 7th Cavalry regiments today succeeded in cross- ing the 630 mile Big Bend desert in eleven days. The mechanized transport of cav- airy is very important in attacking countries with deserts on their borders. None of the leading im- M"perialist rivals of tH® United States, England, France or Japan has any desert lands, except in their colonial Possessions. The Soviet Union, however, has large deserts on its Eastern Siberian borders, particularly near the Repub- lic of Outer Mongolia. It is in these territories that the recent maneuvers of the U.

Y., Aug. 14—The So- cialist-led New York State Conti- nental Congress, in session here yes- terday, completely ignored the ques- tion of war. ‘The war ‘question was not on the agenda, and all the analyses of the political and economic situation were distorted in such a way as to imply that there is no such thing as a war danger, A delegation from the militant workers’ ‘ organizations which were excluded from the congress, headed by Robert Minor of the Communist Party and Carl Winter of the Un- employed Councils, Was not allowed the floor, * In the program for united action which the committee had prepared for the congress~was an appeal to the delegates to support the Anti- N. | War Congress and to urge all its af- filiated organizations to do so. The question could not come up on the floor because of a. standing rule of order that anything which implied criticism of any of the participating organizations was out of order. Since the Central Execu- tive Committee of the Socialist Party has ostentatiously withdrawn from the Anti-War Congress, any set ence to this congress would hav?’ been an implied criticism of th’ Socialist Party leadership. sia- 6 a Broad United Front in Williamsburg BROOKLYN, N, Y.—Seventeen or- ganizations representing 2,000. work- ers and students sent 27 delegates to a United Front Anti-War Conference at the Williamsburg Y.M.H.A.

A series of picnics in many parts of the states have been organized ta raise funds to send the delegates, and to build up strong committees of ac- tion against imperialist war. EDITOR'S NOTE.—We print be- low an important Mani to issued by the Communist Party and the Young Communist League of Cuba. It was issued at Havana pn August 3, when the bus workers had already gone out on strike under the influ- ence of the Communist Party and the National Labor Confederation, and when the strike had already spread to important sectors of the working class. The Manifesto ap- pears immediately after the August 1st demonstrations which throughout Cuba reached higher levels than ever before. Machado’s troops murdered and wounded workers, among them , active members of the Communist Party and of the Young Communist League. The bourgeois-landlord op- position press was attacking the Communist Party as accomplices of ‘Machado, merely because the Party Was unmasking these leaders as agents of American imperialism. In Washington, steps were being taken to reduce the sugar quota for import into the United States. Welles was actively engaged in trying to estab- lish a government satisfactory to the Wall Street-Roosevelt government, ie i ee To the workers, poor and middie peasants, poor and students, public and private em- ployees, small business people and shopkeepers; to the toiling masses in general. Comrades: From one extremity of the country to the other, the working class has gone on strike for its demands. The workers on the bus lines are engaged in ‘struggle against their exploiters, against Pepito Izquierdo and his forty thieves in the local Havana govern- ment, to win better conditions from the bosses and to force them to rec- ognize the National Transport Work- ers Union. While these great struggles were developing, other workers also got to- gether to demand better living con- ditions. Among these were the work- ers of the Santa Isabel sugar plan- tation and of the Ramona sugar mill, fhe tobacco workers of Placetas, Fo- mento and of other towns of the vana and other ports, the railway workers, and the workers of the vari- ous industries of the country and of entire cities, including Sanjose de las Lajas, Pinar del Rio, Matanzas, Santa Clara and Ciego de Avila. In addition, the barbers are already on strike in Havana; and the commercial employees and certain sections of the public service workers and of private business employees are about to join the strike. ‘These numerous strikes in solidar- ity with the strike movement of the Havana bus workers and for the win- ning of the immediate demands raised by the workers in the different industries soon grew into a nation- wide general strike, as the form of struggle of the workers and of the toiling population in general, for het- ter living conditions, as adyocated by the Communist Party and by the National Labor Confederation of Cuba in their agitation and propa- ganda in mobilizing the masses. Strikes Challenge Imperialism, This exceptional movement of the toiling masses in struggle against the boss offensive of the imperialist and native exploiters comes into direct conflict with the terror apparatus of the murderous Machado govern- ment, and is an outright challenge of the masses to the imperialist maneuvers of the interventionist “mediator” Welles and to his lackeys, the bourgeois-landlord opposition leaders. Machado and his bloody henchmen are attempting to use this situation in order to demonstrate to their Wall Street masters that they are their lackeys who cannot be substituted, They do this by letting loose a ter- rible wave of crimes in an effort to drown in blood the heroic struggle of the working class and of the toile ing masses, at the same time allow- ing the bourgeois landlord opposi- tion, the would-be executioners of the masses, to carry out freely their demagogic maneuvers to mislead the masses, and allowing the pen prosti- tutes of the bourgeois press to foam rabidly with indignation and fear against the independent struggles of the masses for their own demands, as has been done by the venomous Hornedo from the columns of “El tag of Santa Clara and of it del Rio, the longshoremen of Tunas de Zaza, Jucaro, Antilla, Ha- Pais”. On August first, anti-war day, Luisa Abadi, a young Communist girl, was shot down in cold blood in Santiago de Cuba. On the streets of Havana, on the same day, the Machado “porra” assassin gang, bar- ricaded in the barber shop of. Se- gundo Brito, shot into a demonstra- tion, killing Carlos Alfonso Camacho, a rank and file member of the’A. B, C., and seriously wounding Marcio Mandulay and Armando Chapelli, members of the Young Communist League and leaders of the student left wing (Ala Izquierda Estudiantil), who are on the verge of death. Ar- mando Herrera and a young Pioneer, as well as four other Communists were wounded by bullets, In Santi- ago de las Vegas, San Antonio de Jos Banos, Hoyo Colorado, Camaguey, Fomento and in other places through- out the country, the demonstrations were attacked by the thugs of ‘the butcher Machado, wounding partici- pants, beating, crushing and mas- sacring the masses, Press Conceals Struggles. While Machado and his lieutenants, following the instructions of Welles himself who interviewed Herrera for this purpose, are concentrating the police and army in order to commit even greater crimes; and while the “mediation” imperialist Welles is in= structing Machado to let loose his machine guns and. mow down the masses who are demanding bread; the leaders of the bourgeois-landlord opposition, leeches who are about to burst from the blood sucked from the toilers, fill their” infamous, lying press with appeals for calmness, tion, patience and similar virtues, in order to hurl confusion into the ranks of the masses, ; The same bourgeois newspapers which only yesterday lent them- selves to songs of praise of the glories of the butcher Machado, concealing his crimes, and concealing also the struggles led by the Communist Party eg ea a Labor Confederation of ‘ul iough these struggles were of tremendous significance, such as the sugar strike which mobilized 20,000 workers during the recent. mil- ling season under the banner of the National Sugar Workers Industrial’ Union; this same mercenary press is now carrying out a consp’ of silence against the National Labor Confederation and the Commeanist Party, filling its pages with reports of the struggles led by these revolu- tionary organizations, without the least mention of the names of these organizations. This same press tries, through their lying reports, to iden- tify the Communists with the provo- cateur thugs and assassins of the Machado “porra” gangsters, reports written by such scoundrels as the one who signs himself Pizzi de Por- ras, who certainly lives up to his name by organizing a “porra” of slanderers which the A.B.G, is about to transform into a fascist, anti-Com- munist shock brigade. Slanders Against Communists, Slanderers in the service of the bourgeois-landlord opposition! Lies and reptile venom from the fangs of your masters, the exploiters, are the only weapons you can use! It is not the National Labor Confedera- tion of Cuba and the Communist Party who need to answer your in- sidious and prostituted pens. It is the raised fist of the murdered rail- way worker Varona; it is Alfredo Lo- pez from the dephts of Havana Bay; it is Brouzon with his accusing arm; it is Yalob, whose body is weighted down by chains in Havana harbor; it is Mella, on hunger strike and al- most on his death bed in 1925 (when many of you were supporting Machado)—Mella bleeding to death from the wounds inflicted upon him in Mexico by the Machado paid as- sassins Magrinat ahd Lopez Valino; it 1s Manduley and Chapelli, battling against death in these very moments. A whole legion of heroes and martyrs for the cause of the Cuban working class—it is they who give the most eloquent answer to your infamous slanders that the Communist Party supports the assassin Machado, Neither the sham program of the A.B.C. nor the clownish. acts of the bourgeois-landlord opposition leaders can fool the masses. The workers and peasants, all tollers, are fi starvation and they know well that they have with them the National Labor Confederation and the Com- munist Party, vaiguard of the work- ing class, in their struggle to win the bread of which they are deprived by the exploiters. Sugar ‘Quota’ Is Hunger Quota From Washington, ‘Welles has brought with him a new hunger quota in the form of plans for fur- ther-restrictions of the Cuban sugar output, which are accepted by Ma- chado “as well as by the leaders of the bourgeois landlord opposition. Even the trading and commercial bourgeoisie has protested against this hunger plan, which is fought reso- lutely and openly, as an imperialist attack, by the revolutionary organi- zations, under the leadership of the Communist Party. Neither Manach, ideological lead- er of the A.B.C., nor his most shame- less colleagues in the leadership of the bourgeois-landlord _ opposition have said a word against this sinister quota introduced by Welles on behalf of the sugar barons and of Roose- velt; on the contrary, they bow be- fore their masters. It is clear that if they should speak up even with demagogic phrases, the same impe- nialist bandit, Welles, who is impos- ing the starvation sugar quota, would not give them the opportunity to shake the hand of Herrera and Com- pany, and become the future minis- ters who would hand out “justice” to the toiling masses of Cuba. The lackeys of ‘the bourgeois-land- lord opposition are supporters of the Machado regime, that is, of the re-|: gime of open and bloody dictatorship in favor of the interests of imperial- ism, and of the native bourgeoisie and landlords. They are hirelings who aré giving their cooperation to the imperialist intervention regime which Welles is introducing and to the imperialist agent Machado, to a regime which is dripping with the blood of workers and peasants, to a regime which at any moment may become naked intervention, through the military boot of Yankee marines. Opposition Protects Imperialists ‘The Opposition is trying to cover up the imperialist nature of the Wel- Jes intervention, even Roose: though 2 ‘acing | velt admits it. This intervention fol- lows the same policy of American imperialism from the Constituent As- sembly of 1901 down to the with the myth of the independence of Cuba, “a people that has never been. free,” as.Julio Antonio Mella said, since it passed from the Span- ish colonial yoke directly to the ruth- less rule of the imperialism of the stars and stripes. Workers of Cuba! Continue your. struggle! Struggle for your immediate demands, drawn up by yourselves, in the factories, on the plantations and other places of work, for better working and living conditions, against wage cuts, for wage increases, against layoffs, against rationalization. Organize yourselves into trade un- ions of your industry, under the lead- ership of the National Labor Confed- eration of Cuba. Machado, with the same blood- thirstiness as éver, has grasped his murderous sword, to bury it once more in your wounded flesh. The leaders of the bourgeois-landlord op- position are trying to cure your ills by means of demagogic injections. Welles with one hand directs the arm that. holds Machado’s sword; while with the other he directs the opposi- pe which utilizes demagogy to the Amnesty! They speak of amnesty, while the jails are filled with ‘po- litical prisoners; and when to top it all, a Judge belonging to the A.B.
