Rueggs Removed to Hospital As World- Wide Protests Grow Fight for Their Safe Release Must Be i Sharpened NANKING, Jan. 15—Paul and Gertrude Ruegg, reported near death in a Nanking prison, were removed to a hospital for medical attention yesterday. The decision of the Nanking gov- ernment to afford medical care to the two anti-imperialist fighters came as a direct result of the world- wide mass protests against their brutal treatment, which had forced the Rueggs to go on a protest hunger strike. a ee NEW YORK.—A letter protesting evainst the deliberate attempts of the Nanking government to murder the Rueggs, and di medical attention and immediate and safe re- lease for the two prisoners, was sent yesterday to the Chinese Ambassador at Washington by the National Com- mittee to Aid Victims of German Haven, Conn, Were Demonstrations Against War | Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Lux- emberg, militant fighters against imperialist war, and German work- ing-class leaders, met their death at the hands of the Noske-Scheide- mann Social Democracy in Berlin in January, 1919. Liebknecht was one of the found- ers of the Young Communist League and the Spartakus Bund, | which later became the present German Communist Party. The 15th anniversary commemo- rations of the murder of Liebknecht and Luxemburg were made the oc- easion for militant demonstrations throughout the world against im- perialist war, working-class youth especially taking a leading part in the anti-war meets. The following is an excerpt from the “Letter to the Workers of Eu- rope and America” by V. I. Lenin, leader of the Russian Revolution | and the world proletariat and founder of the Communist Interna- tional, on the two fighters against imperialist war, Liebknecht and Luxemburg. This week workers throughout the world will commomorate the Fascism. of Lenin in January 1924. ee ene ... . Karl Liebknecht is a name well known to the workers of all countries. Everywhere, and espe- cially in the Entente countries, this name is the symbol of a leader's de- yotion to the interests of the prole- tariat, of loyalty to the socialist revo- lution, This name is the symbol of a genuine ruthless struggle against capitalism ready for every sacrifice. This name is the symbol of irrecon- cilable struggle against imperialism, not by words but by deeds, of a struggle prepared for sacrifices just at the time when “one’s own” coun- try is intoxicated with imperialist victories. With Liebknecht and the “Spartakists” goes everything which is still honest and truly revolution- ary among the socialists of Germany, everything that is best and convinced in the proletariat, all the masses of exploited who are boiling with in- dignation and whose readiness for revolution is growing. Shot “Trying to Escape” +. The above lines were written before the brutal and infamous as- sassination of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg by the Sbert and Scheidemann government. These hangmen who kowtowed to the bour- geoisie, left it to the German white guards, the watch-dogs of the sacred capitalist property, to lynch Rosa 15th Anniversary Mets! ‘Tenth Anniversary since the death Luxemberg, to kill Karl Liebknecht by shots fired from the back with the palpably mendacious excuse that he was “trying to escape” (the Rus- sian tsarism, when drowning in blood the revolution of 1905, resorted many a time to such assassinations with the same medacious excuse that the ar- rested “were trying to escape”)—and at the same time these hangmen screened the white guards by the au- thority of government alleged to be innocent and standing above classes! No Words Strong Enough to Express Villainy No words are strong enough to express the whole villainy and mean- ness of ‘this hangmen’s act perpe- trated by so-called socialists. Evi- dently, history has chosen a path on which the role of the “working class lieutenants of the capitalist class” must be carried to the “limit” of bestiality, meanness and villainy. Let the foolish Kautskyists discourse in their organ “Freiheit"” about the “Tribunal” of representatives of “all socialist parties” (these servile crea- tures continue to call socialists the hangmen of the Scheidemann type)! These heroes of petiy-bourg2cis stupidity and cowardice do not even knew that the Tribunal is an organ of state power, and that the struggle and civil war in Germany is to de- cide in whose hands will be this power: in the hands of the bour- geoisie “served” by the Scheidemanns | |Rothermere Fears Swing jworking class and its Communist British Publisher Calls for Fascism toSaveCapitalism to Left With Deepening of the Crisis LONDON, Jan. 15.—In a promin- ently displayed front page article in the London “Daily Mail,” with a circulation of 1,500,000, Lord Roth- ermere leads the fascist crusade with an appeal to the British youth to join the fascist movement organized by Sir Oswald Mosley, a former lead- ing light of the British Labor Party. Rothermere attacks the present National government of Tories and “Socialists” as incapable of saving capitalism and as not sufficiently} « brutal in its attacks on the British vanguard. He warmly praises the murder regime of Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy, and declares that the only hope of British capi- talism is to reorganize the govern- ment along fascist lines, that is, to draw the naked sword of fascist dic- tatorship against the working masses and to scrap all democratic forms and pretensions. Allied with Lord Rothermere in his fascist crusade is Lord Beaver- brook, the next largest publisher in Great Britain. Their newspapers ‘are flooding Britain with articles prais- ing the anti-working class policies of Hitler and Mussolini. The two pub- lishers, long bitter rivals for control of the British press, are now united on the fascist program. Sir Oswald Mosley joined the Brit- ish Labor Party in 1924, later allying himself (in 1929) with the Labor “In- dependents.” With four others he seceded from the party to organize the “British Union of Fascism.” i: visited Mussolini last April and re- ceived the fascist salute of 35,000 Italian blackshirts, He also sent four delegates to the Nazi party congress at Nuremburg last September, Fishing Boats Carry Communist Literature KIEL.—According to reports of the Nazi Secret Police, three hundred pounds of illegal literature was found in fishing boats from Ec- kennforde.
