Into A Mass Organization 'HIRTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED new mem- bers have been recruited by the International | Workers Order in a membership drive just concluded. | This is a splendid achievement. It is a testimonial to the activities of the membership of the Order. At the same time it is another sign of the radicalization of the working masses in America. In the past the American bourgeoisie has dominated the fraternal organizations in America. This bour- geoisie have used their domination to keep from the workers in the fraternal movement an understanding of the economic and political causes of their economic insecurity and their consequent need of protection through mutual and other insurance. They have ded- icated the services of the many fraternal organiza~ tions to various religious and mystic cults, to nation- alistic and patriotic purposes and to everything else except to those interests and needs of the working class which drive the workers into the fraternal move- ment. But now the crisis of capitalism is opening the eyes of the workers. Their ability to pay dues and insurance fees has radically diminished; their need for aid and insurance equally radically increased. Now the purposes of the high-sounding phrases of bourgeois fraternalism are being penetrated by the workers, They learn that behind these phrases is hidden the effort of the bourgeoisie to prevent the workers from solving their problems at the expense of capitalist profits. Behind these phrases is hidden the purpose of preventing the workers from seeing the imperative need for Social Insurance. Here the International Workers Order has a tre- mendous task. It must challenge this bourgeois frater- nalism. It must replace it with fraternal efforts which will turn the workers toward class consciousness. It must establish a fraternal movement which shows the BiG must break down the barriers of nationalism, religion and race prejudices. It must teach them that only united efforts of the workers will solve the economic insecurity which makes them easy victims of the profit- hungry insurance schemes of the bourgeoisie. It must mobilize the masses of workers in the fraternal move- ment for Social Insurance. . . . NEXT TASK of the International Workers Order is to establish itself more firmly among the native American workers. At the same time it must develop within its ranks an ever-clearer understanding of pro- letarian fraternalism; it must make this proletarian fraternalism the content of the life of the branches and the members. It must make agitation and struggle for Social Insurance a most important part of this life. Only in the degree in which it can develop this life in the branches will the International Workers Order be able to fulfill its mission of developing class con- sciousness among its members. With the need of working class service in the frater- nal movement becoming more and more clear to the | masses of workers, the opportunities for the growth of the I.W.O. become unlimited, The I.W.O. can, justi- fiably, speak of an immediate perspective of growth into hundreds of thousands of members. Its value as @ proletarian fraternal organization depends upon this growth. This growth, in turn, depends upon the quality of its service as s proletarian fraternal or- ganization, manded immediate action if Jap- anese imperialism is to succeed in lits plans of conquest. What these changing conditions are was| hinted in frequent but veiled ri ferences to the success of S cialist construction in the Soviet Union in converting what was for- }merly a_ backward agricultural jcountry into a great industrial } country, today the first in Europe {and second in the world in indus- |trial output.

French Minister UrgesBigger Navy, PARIS, Jan. 26. — A French navy equal to those of Italy and Germany combined is advocated by Albert Sarraut, French minister of the navy, who urged a secret session by the Chamber’s naval committee to greatly increase rance’s naval forces: ‘He also proposed spending 250,000,- 000 francs for floating airplane bases in the Pacific and in the Indian Ocean. This would be in addition to 2,742,000,000 francs already in- cluded in the French naval budget. Socialist Chambers of Labor Taken Over By Austrian Gov't Nazi Pressui re Forces Dolfuss to Break With Socialist Leaders VIENNA, Jan. 26.—Pushing his fight on his erstwhile Socialist allies, the fascist dictator, Chancellor Dol- fuss, has wrested control of the Chambers of Labor from the Austrian Socialist Party. A Federal “Komis- sar” has been appointed to supervise and control the Chambers and to de- cide the kind of representation the workers shall have. The Chambers are to be administered by boards of commissioners appointed by the gov- ernment, The parliamentary act creating the Chambers of Labor was a Socialist project, put into effect when the So- cialist leaders were at the height of their power. It was pointed to as one of the great achievements of Ausirian Social Democracy in its “program” of @ “peaceful transition” of capitalism into Socialism. By this and similar ‘other arguments, backed up by mur- derous attacks on the revolutionary workers, the Socialist leaders be- trayed the struggles of the working class for the revolutionary way out of the capitalist crisis with its attend- ant unemployment, hunger, mass misery and imperialist war, Dolfuss’ break with the Socialist leaders is the result of pressure by the Nazi wing of the fascist Heimwehr for immediate suppression of the So- cialist Party, whose usefulness to the fascist regime is rapidly decreasing as a result of the growing revolt of rank and file Socialist workers who are joining the anti-fascist United Front created by the illegal Austrian Com- munist Party. |cism which is organizing the protest; | egation which will go to Washington class that is now beginning to pour out of the columns | feature d yesterday’s session of the |that day to Mecuae of President = =| of the capitalist press. ctu oy : : | Roosevelt and other % c tionai | it. was stressed that changing | officials that all expenditures for war We workers of America are united in international Semiitions in. the ar West “de>! ane purposes cease immediately and the funds be used instead for the unem~ ployed.

The full text of this im- portant political document follows: The 13th Plenum of the E.C.CL, just ended, adopted a number of im- portant decisions on the basis of the perspectives of the proletarian “world revolution. The Plenum made .2 Bolshevist analysis of the fasci- sation process going on in the capi- talist countries, of the preparations for the new world war and for the counter-revolutionary war against ' the Soviet Union by the imperialists. The Plenum pointed out the tasks of the Communist Parties in the Struggle against fascism, against the war danger, in the struggle for the Wiet power, for the dictatorship of proletariat. The international situation, and the position of the Whole capitalist world, is determined by the fact that in the capitalist countries the economic crisis has been raging for five years. When the first Exchange crash took place more than four years ago in the USA. end Germany, the Communist International, equipped with the migaty weapon of Marxism-Lenin- ism, pointed out that the world eco- 4a crisis was maturing. This fact W pointed out in face of all the onti- | mistic “prognoses” of the bourgeois | €conomists and politicians, of the | Social fascist theoreticians and their uunist renegade satellites. The Communist International was right: “The present economic crisis is the | most serious and profound crisis of | | Era of Capitalist Decay Three years later at the 12th E. C. C. I. Plenum, the C. 1. basing its conclusions on the increasing acute- ness of the crisis and the aggrava- tion of all capitalist antagonisms, pointed out the end of the relative stabilization of capitalism. And now, a year later, the objective situation of the capitalist countries confirms the obvious fact that the C. I. was right. The whole era of relative capitalist stabilization, though awakening paci- fist and democratic illusions, was not a characteristic feature of the his- torical development of post-war cap- italism—the “general line” of this development is decay, decline, disso- lution. Under the conditions given by the transition to a fresh series of revo- lutions and wars, the irregular and rapid development of the crisis has become increasingly marked. In all the capitalist countries the ruling classes are clinging convulsively to all possible measures for creating an artificial economic boom. Credit grants, subventions, and govern- mental guarantees pour as if from a cornucopia into the pockets of the capitalists, in the hope of conjuring up an industrial revival. Capitalists Organize New Wars The production of war materials has increased to an unprecedented extent. The wage robberies, the cut- ting down of social welfare services, and the rapacious robbery of the toilers jn town and country by means of increasing taxation, price policy, and crisis rationaization, continue steadily. There is a feverish competition going on among the big capitalist countries in the deprecia- tion of their currencies and in the dumping of their goods. And yet all these measures on the part of the capitalist governments not only fail to restore the stabilization, on the contrary, they actually intensify the crisis of the capitalist system as a whole, ‘The development of war produc- tion, and the adaptation of industry and agiiculture to the impending war are accelerating the outbreak of that war, and are a heavy burden on State finances. The expenditure for the State apparatus is increasing, especially the expenditure for army and police, in order that the revo- lutionary indignation of the masses may be suppressed. This means an unprecedented burden on State fi- nances, and swallows up an ever- increasing portion of national in- come. The increasingly parasitic role played by the bourgeois state has never been so mercilessly ex- posed to the eyes of the toiling masses as at the present time. Hence the intensification of the economic war among the imperialists, and of all the international antagonisms of capitalism, is such as to indicate “the eve of a new imverialist war.” (Thir- teenth E.C.C.I. Plenum.) War Against U.S.5.R. The Versailles system {s cracking at every joint. The Geneva Confer- ence is a corpse, In the Far East the Japanese military fascist clique has already commenced with the re-divi- sion of the world. The struggle of the Chinese militarists for Fukien, where the interests of various im- verialist cliques clash, is an outpost fight of the approaching struggle for hegemony of the Pacific. The Jap- anese imperialists, maddened by the blows dealt by the crisis, smell the loot of war, and offer their services as the advance troops of the war against the Soviet Union. Hence this intensification of the general crisis of capitalism, bringing with it the growing revolutionary in- dignation and the struggle of the masses, signifies the maturing of the objective prerequisites for the revo- Iutionary world crisis. The capitalist world is confronted by a fresh series of revolutions and wars. “The world economic crisis is most closely inter- woven with the general crisis of cap- italism, and sharpens all the cardi- nal- contradictions of the capitalist world to such an extent that a turn may take place at any moment which will signify the transformation of the economic crisis into a revolutionary crisis.” (Theses of 13th E.C.C.1. Ple- num.) Crisis Is World-Wide This is the most important factor of the present international situa- tion. An inequality in the decay of capitalism is observable. But never- theless the decay is everywhere, The countries varies; but there are ele- ments of fascisation everywhere. The erfsis In social democracy is unequal, but the elements of the crisis are universal—the whole Second Inter- national is passing through a crisis. Communism, too, is growing w equally; but everywhere the indigna- tion of the masses, and the political authority of their Communist van- guard, are increasing. The firm line and the inflexible militarit, determination of the Com- munist Yanguard are “becoming an ever er factor in the trend of the masses.” (Lenin.) The classes and parties proceed more and more to open action, Growth of Revolutionary Crisis The Plenum devoted special at- tention to the problems of fascisa- tion. It regarded fascism as the open terrorist dictatorship of the most re- actionary chauvinist and imperialist elements of financial capital, and on this basis rejected the social fascist estimation of fascism as the alleged dictatorship of the petty bourgeoisie, as defeatist viewpoints of Comrades Remmele and Neumann in their ap- praisal of the perspectives of devel- opment in Germany. Precisely the intensification of the revolutionary crisis and tHe indignation of the masses have created a situation in which the old parliamentary meth- ods become a hindrance to the bour- geois dictatorship, to the carrying out of civil war against the proletariat of the country, and to the preparations for the war for the redivision of the world. Fascism is seeking to create a mass basis for the dictatorship of monopolist carftal among the petty bourgeoisie of town and country, to consolidate this dictatorship, and to exploit for this purpose the declassed elements in the towns. But the pol- icy of fascism in possession of power exposes of itself its national and so- cial demagogy. Fasdism is a dan- gerous enemy of revolution, but it is not only this: At the same time it accelerates the revolutionary devel- opment. The rule of the national socialists in Germany has already aroused the disappointment and dis- satisfaction of the petty bourgeois masses; enormous forces of tndigna- tion are accumulating in the masses; This analysis by the Communist International is confirmed not only by the profound convulsions shakity; capitalist conditions, and not only by the crisis of social democracy, but by a large number of important events in the sphere of the international revolutionary movement. It is con- firmed above all by the heroic strug- gle of the C.P.G. against the fascist dictatorship. Soviet China is developing into a real leader of the social and national emancipation of the whole country, and to a factor in international policy. In the Chinese Soviet districts a new Soviet State is being rapidly built up. The membership of the Communist Party has increased by one hundred thousand in one year. In Japan, where the forces of coun- ter-revolution are gathering, the forces of revolution are growing at the same time. This country is on the eve of great class struggles. Fascism is growing, and with it the daring of the militarist fascist cliques. But at the same time the “ us thoughts” are growing too, making the ruling classes tremble. The C. P. of Japan is growing, and is carrying on exemplary evist work and a the total crisis of the whole capitalist system. The decay of social demo- cracy is taking place along two lines: Along the line of antagonisms on an international scale (war approaches), and in each separate country on the question of the methods and the rate of fascisation. The crisis in the Second International is openly re- vealed, above all, by the historic treachery of German social demo- cracy. ‘The lesson taught the world prole- tariat by the events in Germany con- sists of the object-lesson in the man- ner in which the fascist dictatorship grows out of bourgeois democracy, hhow the policy of the social demo- crats prepares the way for fascism, and how the Communist Party is ac- tually the only party which is fighting for the overthrow of the fascist dic- tatorship and for the unity of the working class for the struggle for the proletarian revolution. : The attitude adopted by German social democracy is a model example for the attitude of all the parties of the Second International. Nothing but the unity of the working class, heroic struggle against war. Tn Poland we place on record not only ee eee ee ae great revolutionary actions in rural districts, fr bpeia the stragule between the forces of revolution and of counterrevolution is in full swing. Decay of Social Democracy These examples might be multiplied. The maturing of the revolutionary world crisis is ied by the a fresh wave of revolution is already rising. accompani decay of international social demo- cracy, ® decay representing a part of under the revolutionary leadership of the Communist Party, can prevent fascism from coming into power. The leaders of social democracy, jointly with such counter - Rise pop renegades as Trotsky, Brandler, and oie: ditt WR AE tes eee mongers and opportunists as Rem- mele, try to hold back the working class from active resistance against fascism, and from the preparation of decisive revolutionary struggles of the The Communist International sets the Communist Parties the task of preparing rapidly for decisive revolu- tionary struggles. This means the Communist Parties, in their tation and propaganda, are to place the question of power its ness before the masses of the wor and must show them concretely the revolutionary way out of the crisis for] the working class.
