The local relief struggles have not yet assumed the character of city-wide and state-wide mass move- ments (New York City), have not had a sustained day to day drive and action. Nor have these actions been developed by the Unemployed Councils as yet, on a sufficiently broad united front basis, bringing all elements and sections of the unemployed and part time workers into the daily fight for the immediate needs of the unemployed. There is still underestima- tion of the extent of the crisis and the readiness of the workers to struggle. When we come to the campaign for the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill, the failure to take lead- ership over this struggle becomes glaringly evident. The local campaigns in most cases are only formally tied up to the national struggle for workers’ social insurance, and in many cases even this formal linking up is absent. News releases are coming into the Daily Worker from district leaders of the unemployed move- ment telling of local and state relief actions, which, with few exceptions, do not even mention the fight for unemployment insurance. The tieing up of all cf these local relief actions into a national campaign, the raising of the campaign against unemployment to a higher level, centering around the demand for the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill and adequate relief from the national government, is an immediate task. . The National Convention of the Unemployed Councils in Washington January 13 can be made reversed himself, and asserted that |the Communist Party instigated the jae as an act of desperation because jit realized the strength of the gov- | ernment. In reply to severe attacks by Torg- | |led and Dimitroff for the brutal mis- | treatment of workers ‘by the storm troopers, Goebbels merely said that | |{he storm troops haye expelled all | those guilty of “excesses.” In reply to Dimitroff's question | whether Nazis during the struggle for | power used weapons in self-defense | against alleged attacks, Goebbels as- | serted that Nazis were told to crtry | no weapons despite atmed attacks by |the Communists. Only Nazis occu- | pying red headquarters, he said, were | forced to carry arnis, otherwise it | would be suicide. “Have the thousands of Commu- nists and Social Democrats whose lives are threatened today no right of self-defense?” Dimitroff asked. Goebbels evaded the question by | saying that there must be distinc- | tion between the aggressor and the defender. Goebbels began his testimony by saying that he was in Berlin on the night of the fire, but that his pres- ence in the capital was “purely acci- | dental.” Goebbels asserted that the Ober- fahren memorandum appeared after Oberfahren’s death. In reality the Oberfahren memorandum was pub- lished in the British bourgeois press long before Oberfahren was murder- ed. (Oberfahren was a member of the Nazi party who published a state- | ment proving that Goering, Heines | and other Nazi leaders set fire to the | Reichstag. Following the publication ; of his memorandum, the Nazis com- | pelled Oberfahren to kill himself.— | | Editor). | Goebbels said he would not dream | of replying to the charges contained | in the Brown Book of the Hitler | Terror if it were not for the fact | that many people abroad believed | these charges. But his sole reply to) | the Brown Book charges that the | Reichstag fire was his idea was that | he had better propaganda ideas. Goebbels admitted that the Com- | munist Party rejected the terror as | @ political weapon, but said that this | rejection was only on the surface. In reality, he said, the Communist | Party follows the slogan—strike the | fascists everywhere! Waiters of the Bayerhof, where a | spy testified he saw Van der Lubbe with Dimitroff and Popoff, all iesti- | fied that Van der Lubbe had never) visited that restaurant. Only two! waiters testified that poscibly Popoff had visited that restaurant in 1932. | | The unanimity of the waiters in re- | | fusing the testimony by the spy- | waiter Hellmer against the defend-, | ants created a deep impression, de- | stroying the remnants of the “chain | to prove Van der Lubbe’s connections | with the Bulgarians. { “token” payment of $7,500,000, Roosevelt, in a statement, declared that he still considers that Britain recognizes the debt, and that the full settlement ¢f the question will have to await the overcoming of the world economic crisis. This means that the United States and Britain are still using the debt question as a weapon against one another in their fierce imperialist ri- valry for world markets. The practical default by Britain, leayes the Soviet Union the only Eu- ropean power whose record for | prompt and immediate payments of | | foreign debt obligations is clear.

Every attack by Grover Whalen of the N.R.A. and the shoe bosses forged these bonds more firmly, Rec- ognition of the union—the only guarantee for the maintenance of improved conditions—became the cen- tral issue of the strike. From the days when Grover Whalen issued his’ | anti-strike edict aimed specifically at the shoe strike, | the tactics of the N.R.A. have been to attempt de- moralization in the strikers’ ranks in order to smash the Industrial Union and deliver the workers over to the Boot and Shoe union of the A.

To the Cuban Masses DELEGATION of five, representing the Anti-Im- perialist League in the United States, sails for Cuba today carrying the greetings of hundreds of thousands of American workers to their brothers in Cuba. The delegation comprises militant trade union leaders, J, B. Mathews, the chairman of the American League Against War, a Negro trade union leader, and ® representative of the Anti-Imperialist League. Particularly at this time, with strikes and in- | creasing struggles of the revolutionary masses against American imperialism and the native landlord-capital- ists in Cuba, the departure of a delegation representing American workers and anti-imperialist fighters is of the greatest importance. gravation of the international situa- tion that the proletariat of the en- tire world must at once commence increased activity in its struggle against the threatening imperialist war, and to block the competitive armaments of the belligerent impe- rialists for war against the Soviet Union, Hitler’s policy of provocation and incendiarism in the field of foreign policy is an endeavor to-divert the German people from the insoluble and continually increasing domestic difficulties. He is at the same time endeavoring to seize the role of the champion of international finance capital against Bolshevism. The inner difficulties within fas- cist Germany are growing worse from day to day owing to the heroic strug- gle of the revolutionary anti-fascists and of their party; “the Communist Party of Germany. The revolution- ary crisis is approathing. The revo- volts of the young workers in the labor camps and a profound disap- pointment of the masses of unem- ployed and other recipients of re- Hef with further reductions in the dole. These are the great internal diffi- culties of Hitler fascism which it is trying to overcome by a new chau- vinist wave of terror. Hitler was able to abandon his anti-capitalist agitation and “so- cial” demagogy because that corre- sponds to the desires of his big busi- ness patrons. But his national dem- agogy, which helped him to power through the chauvinist wave it de- veloped, is the essential core of his policy. It contradicts the nature of fascism to surrender this as well. The interests of ruling big business, es- pecially heavy industry, as Hitler’s chief base, require the intensifica- tion of nationalist policy towards greater militarization, towards the form of a “plebiscite” referring only‘ to the question of Germany’s resigna- tion from the League of Nations is intended to confirm all of Hitler’s domestic policies, has been staged to create this national incitement and repress all social struggles. By means of a terror election Hit- Jer wants to insure himself a mass following in order to extort the right of independent declarations of war, especially against the Soviet Union. Furthermore, the whipping up of national passion is intended to pro- vide him with new opportunities to physically destroy the political and revolutionary vanguard of the fight- ing working class by means of still madder mass murder, A new orgy of blood is being released in Germany. Hitler As Whip of World Reaction ‘Thus Hitler also appears interna- tionally as the most brutal proponent of the interests of finance capital. At the same ‘time his policy of force fulfills the warmest desires of arm- tem of the greatest powers in the world, All parties are therefore compelled to take # clear position on the na- tional question and on the question of defense of one’s country. The Second International, and with it the Socialist leaders, at their last con- gress reaffirmed their support of “de- fense” of one’s country for the de- fense: of a “democracy” which is nothing but the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. The Socialist Parties will again play their role as the chief so- cial pillar of the capitalist class in all countries, going as far as open chauvinism. Just as in 1914, it will intensify its social fascist policy of splitting the working class and pre- venting and bloodily spupressing strikes and the proletarian united front, all in the name of “defense” of one’s country, Here arises the great task of the revolutionary interna- tional proletariat. It must win its ternational fighting fund in support of anti-fascist activity. No trade union meeting, no meet~ ing of any workers’ cultural or sport, organization should be allowed. to pass without the adoption of tit resolutions against Hitler's plan to murder our comrades. Dimitroff, Tor- gler, Popoff, and Taneff. voice for the release of Thaelmann and all other political prisoners. The examples of protest actions against German Consulates have had a pro- found effect—they must not cease, but must be continued.

But behind these concessions, the iron fist of the N.R.A, is clearly seen. The essence of the Labor Board’s decision is the intention to smash the Industrial Union. In this, it differs in no way from the series of strikebreaking decisions made in the struggles of the coal miners, the textile workers and in many other strikes, Its proposal to send the workers back to work with- ‘out recognition of the Industrial Union, despite all “proofs that the overwhelming majority of the shoe ‘workers of New York City were willing to fight to a finish for the Industrial Union, and to substitute elec- an attempt to terrorize them and to force them, when ®lection time comes, to vote for the bosses’ union, It hosiery workers’ struggle. This is further borne out by the inclusion of the clause declaring that no | fs ¢ States, the great strike wave, the farmers fight against starvation. It will expose the Roosevelt regime as the enemy of the Cuban people and the oppres- sor of the American workers. But the departure of the delegation should not be an isolated event in the common struggle against American imperialism, It should be widely popularized among the American workers, and its actions should be reported and discussed in all workers organizations, A victory of the Cuban toiling masses will be a tremendous gain for the American workers and farm- ers. It will weaken American imperialism, it will be a blow struck at imperialist war reparations and will strengthen the forces of struggle against capitalist oppression in the United States, The Daily Worker sends its heartiest greetings to the Cuban toiling masses through the delegation, and to the Cuban Communist Party, leader in the revo- lutionary struggles for the liberation of the Cuban people from Yankee imperialism, cist Germany are’ a& follows: rapid intensification of the. economic cri- sis, collapse of foréign trade, col- lapse of the program..of work crea- tion, the beginning ‘Of inflation, and a special aggravation of the agricul- tural crisis. The middle classes in town and country’ are seized with profound disappointment. But particular and. decisive im- portance attaches to the ever wid- ening wave of resistance, strikes and demonstrations of the factory work- ers. The resolute and strengthening resistance of the factory workers against any attack of their labor con- ditions and the active united front in almost all trade unions against the Nazi auxiliaries make this more and more strongly felt. The discrediting and disintegration of the National Socialist factory organizations are continuing. The opposition in the storm troops themselyes is growing as by the inevitability of the new imperialist world war approaching with fearful rapidity, and whipped up by its own desire for war, Hitler fascism appears as the war monger in order to play a leading role as a saviour from Bolshevism in a new imperialist war. This incitement of national pas- sions will at the same time produce a further swing towards right in governmental policy @ more rapid move towards fascism in all the capitalist countries of the world. ‘The consequences, for the masses, of | try this reactionary turn in all capitalist A prerequisite condition for this participation in the leadership of the campaign of destruction against the Soviet Union is immediate arma- ment and militarization of all Ger- many with the ruthless demolition of all existing fetters. ‘There is no doubt that Hitler's provocation is connected with the advance of Japanese imperialism against the U.S.S.R. in the Far East and with the new military campaign against Soviet China now launched under the command of the German General Von Seeckt, countries will be an increased bur- den through taxes for competitive armaments, further wage and salary cuts, together with more intense measures of suppression. Thus Hit- ler becomes a champion of world re- action in every field. P Accentuation of Imperialist Antagonisms At the same time the imperialist antagonisms between the world pow- ers are growing rapidly. The League of Nations appears even more openly as the naked instrument of the old entents for the suppression of en- revolution in Germany. It is the task of every single anti-fascist to rally the majority of the working class under the banner of proletarian internationalism, to organize the revo- lutionary united front in every coun- try against one’s own capitalist class, to interest millions of toilers in the revolutionary front, and to release them from the claws of social fas- cism and national chauvinism, ‘Workers of the world, organize a revolutionary united front for anti- fascist action in factory, town and country!
