i 4 ’N | DR. JULIUS LITTINSKY | | D. ATLY WORKER, 'W YORK, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1934 Page Three Out of Their Own Mouths Comes Proof of Austrian Social-Democratic Leaders’ Treachery by Th AUT of the welter of the fire and blood of the gigantic and heroic battles | of the valiant Austrian workers, emerges the truth of the colossal treachery of the Austrian Social-Democratic leaders. Guilty of the most dastardly crimes against the working-class, the be- vayals of the Austrian Social-Democratic leaders is not one jot less than ‘he treachery of the German Social-Democrats who paved the way for Fascism in Germany with the corpses of the German workers. From the mouths of Otto Bauer, leader of the Austrian Soctal-Demo- orats, and Dr. Julius Deutsch, who was supposed to have “led” the armed torees of the Socialists, comes the criminal indictment of these crucifiers of our heroic Austrian brothers, While the Socialist leaders in the United States move heaven and earth to make it appear that the Otto Bauers and Deutschs were at the head of the brilliant and historic bravery of the Austrian workers, these self-convicted and criminal betrayers of the Austrian workers now publish «before the world # record of their scandalous betrayals. In Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, Otto Bauer in an interview with G. E. R. Gedye, New York Times correspondent, tells how he virtually crawled on his belly before the fascist Premier Dollfuss offering the alliance and service of the Social-Democratic leaders to this hangman of the brave Austrian workers. “We offered to make the greatest concessions that a democratte and socialistic party had ever made,” said Otto Bauer. What were some of the “greatest concessions” that this betrayer of the Austrian workers was ready to make to Dollfuss, the executioner of the flower of the Austrian proletariat? Under the guise of supporting the “lesser evil,” Dollfuss, against the Nazis, Otto Bauer, social-democratic leader, was not only ready to allow Dollfuss to institute fascism, but made Proposals which would make possible the development of fascism. Bauer himself says: “We let Dollfuss know that if he would only pass a béll through Parliament we would accept » measure authorizing the government to GOVERN BY DECREE WITHOUT PARLIAMENT FOR TWO YEARS, on two conditions only—that 2 small Parliamentary com- mittee, in which the government had a majority, should be able ‘ criticize decrees and that a constitutional court, the only pro- tection against breaches of the constitution, should be restored. Dolifuss refused.” (Our emphasis.) Here on a silver platter, the most outstanding Social-Democratic leader. ‘" Austria, Oito Bauer, brought to the hangman Dollfuss, a noose with which to hang the revolutionary proletariat of Austria. Here is how these staunch defenders of “democratic rights” of the workers supported the “lesser evil.” This great republican proposed to the butcher Doll*uss the liquidation of Parliament for two years. The Communists, while fighting for the dictatorship of the proletariat, are the best defenders of the every-day economic interests of the workers, organize the workers to defend and fight for their democratic and civil rights by revolutionary struggles, as a way of fighting fascist advances, and not by maneuvering with the fascists themselves as did the Austrian Social-Democratic leaders. In the name of “defending” democratic Tights, Otto Bauer, and other Social-Democratic leaders were ready to bargain them away wholesale. i band Social-Democratic leaders of Austria “resisted” Dollfuss’ relentless and bloody drive to fascism on both knees. Otto Bauer shamelessly ells how he crawled to every vile dog supporting Dollfuss, pleading for support for an alliance between the Social-Democratic leaders and Doll- fuss at a time when Dollfuss found this alliance no longer necessary. Otto Bauer prostrated himself before President Miklas. He cringed before the Cardinal Archbishop of Vienna, Dr. Innitzer. Nothing was too low for this Social-Democratic “hero” to stoop in order to appeal for support and aid against the revolutionary Austrian proletariat. | All the while Otto Bauer knew that the fascist Dolifuss government particularly, not slorie the Austrian Nazis, were sharpening their bayo- nets, unlimbering their cannon, Preparing their machine guns for the wanton slaughter of the Austrian workers. He knew further that the Austrian Socialist workers, disgusted and repelled by their leaders,’ supineness and negotiations with the enemies of the working-class, were independently moving to action, dissatisfied j and agitated against the Social-Democratic agents of Austrian fascism. All of this ts admitted by Bauer and printed indellibiy on one of the | foulest pages of the history of working-class betrayals, When the betrayals of the German Social-Democratic leaders brought Hitler to power in Germany, the Austrian workers drew & powerful lesson from the German events. ‘They decided they must prepare. Otto Bauer & Co. drew another lesson, ‘They agreed to stop their fight against Doll- fuss’ introduction of fascism. They followed the road of the German Soclal-Democratic leaders in the support of Bruening who began the attack on the German working-class that opened the way for Hitler. The Sooial-Democratic leaders treated with Dollfuss in the only in this instance, Dollfuss himself became the murd Bauer tells of these deeds himself: “But the important things IT have events in Austria since March 5, (The date of the Reichstag electi when the Nazis were preparing for armed selzure of the government) “Since that day—the date of the Hitler triumph in Germany—oar Party made the very greatest efforts to come to an agreement with the government, because we know what the endn would be otherwise. Either the Nazis were bound to triumph in Austris or Some such bloodshed as has now happened was bound to come.” (Our emphasis.) to tell you are those concerning F itchburgh Puts Pep Into “Daily”?

But he told the workers to refrain from any action. ‘Last Sunday night im Vienna 2 comrade coming from Linz warned me that the workers of alarmed over the Heimwehr action andn had declared that if any further action were taken to deprive them of their arms they would defend themselves for the sake of the republic,” says Bauer. in Ling were attacked by the fascist | Ling were highly indignant and | | “I was alarmed to hear of this spirit,” he says with all the } naked shamelessness of one whose whoie life has been devoted to | the most criminal betrayals of the workers. with my informant we both decided that urgent messages must be sent to the workers te keep cool. that if we in Vienna coul4 submit patiently te am arms search in Party headquarters they mast try to do the same. | “And after discuésion | I arranged for them to be told Apparently the THE UNITED FRONT IN ACTION Socialist and Commonist workers demonstrate before Anstrian Consul General in New York City protesting killing of Austrian workers, This was start of march before police attacked demon- strators, Bauer declares “the Nazis were bound to triumph in Austria or some such bloodshed as has now happened was bound to come.” What he fails to add is that the Social-Democratic leaders were helping it to come. * * * | bests sSuppoort for Dollfuss was the support of one group of imperialists who preferred that Dollfuss head the Austrian fascist government as against the Nazis. They were disarming the workers who had learned from the German events, while at the same time they were proposing fascist measures to the Dollfuss regime. They were quite willing that Dolifuss establish fascism in Austria, Dollfuss whose only difference from the Nazis was that he represented those who desired alliances with Italian, French, British imperialism instead of with Hitler of Ger- many. Internally, so far as the fascist dictatorship against the workers, there was absolutely no difference. “For at the beginning of April he (Dollfuss) passed over definitely to the Fascist camp (although he concealed {t from other countries) and refused to speak to any of the Soc\ lists,” says Bauer. For ten months the Bauers knew of the fascist armed preparations of the Dollfuss government. Did they arm the workers? Did they Prepare them for the struggle they deemed inevitable? They did nothing of the kind, They disarmed and disorganized the workers. The whole Policy was. supporting the armed forces of the state, of Dollfuss, as an “dmpartial” state force “preserving democracy.” But the workers were acting differently. They had learned a dif- ferent lesson. Bauer tells of this also. “The dissatisfaction and agitation of the workersa, gainst the conservative policy of our party committee grew as the government Provocations increased. The workers said the government was making itself more powerful militarily, was wearing down our spirit and was choosing its own time to attack us Excitement rose to @ feverish pitch loring the last weeks.” The workers in the Austrian Socialist party began to agitate against the putrid betrayals of their leaders. All this while, Otto Bauer and the other Social-Democratic leaders were strengthening the hand of the fascist Dollfuss. They permitted him to arm, while they disarmed the Workingclass. We shall see that Dr. Deutsch, Social-Democratic leader flatly admits that he and the other Social-Democratic leaders boasted of how well they were disarming the workers, keeping them from prepar- ing for the inevitable day when the fascist hounds would deliver their bloody blow. Right up to the very day when the preparations and fury of the fascist dogs broke over the heads of the workingclass, the Austrian Social- Democratic leaders were aiding the Dolifuss government by offertng it | ing the workers, we have the testimony of Dr. Julius Deutsch, so-called message arrived too late.” When the news of the workers taking up the offensive agains, the fascist murders came to Vienna, what did these great “heroes” do? Did they rush to give them aid? On Sunday night, did they issue the call for general strike? They told them to “keep cool,” that is, they told them not to rally their class forces for struggle and for resistance. In fact, when they could not longer hold the workers back, Otto Bauer says, “I was alarmed to hear of this spirit.” The glorious bravery of the Austrian workers fighting fascism rightly alarmed ‘is social- fascist supporter of Dolifuss, He wanted the Linz workers to give up their arms to the fascist hangmen. This all took place at the time when Otto Bauer and the other Social-Democratic leaders offered Dolifuss | suppression of parliament and all other democratic rights. This is how they called for the general strike, by trying to prevent it, This is how they organized—by attempting to disarm and disorganize the fight when it had already started. This is how they “led” the workers, by urging them to subthit to their slaughterers patiently. The only regret this hypocritical Social-Democratic leader now has is | that his message arrived too late. The workers on their own initiative, betrayed by their leaders, had already gone into the battle, had already flung the challenge back at fascism and were writing history in their own blood. 4 hae Socialist leaders in the United States, to hide their own treachery | to the American workers, to cover the shrieking crimes of their Austrian blood-brothers have been spreading the le that the Austrian Social-Dem- ocratic leaders were preparing and arming the Austrian workers for armed resistance against fascism. This is a le out of the whole cloth. We have the admissions above | by the most outstanding leader, Otto Bauer, that they were disarming the workers, and allowing the fascists to arm. They were constantly urging | the workers to look for an alliance with their butchers, the Dollfuss government. Up to the last minute, they told the workers to permit whatever arms they had kept, against the will of their leaders, to be seized without strug- gle. They told the workers to put their head in the fascist noose. But to the glory and honor of the Socialist workers of Austria they refused to be enslaved by their Social-Demccratic leaders working with the fascist fiends. The evidence of the criminal treacheries and betrayals of the Social- Democratic leaders, now, even before the corpses of the Socialist workers have been removed from the places where they defended themselves against the fascist hordes, 1s mountainous.

Says Dr. Deutsch (Associated Press Dispatch, New York Times, Feb. 1D: “For years I have offered to disarm the Republican Guards if others would do likewise and prohibit weapons for any others than the regular branches of the government's armed forces. “This demand I also made in Parliament, but nothing ceme of i They went even further and called me a coward.” In fact, the Republican Guards were disarmed and disbanded, with the help of the Social-Democratic leaders. The fascist forces of the govern- ment were heavily armed. It was only the rank and file who kept their ancient arms, brought home from the last imperialist war. They refused, on the orders of the "We Offered Greatest Concessions (To Dollfuss),” Says Bauer; “Alarmed to Hear of Workers’ Spirit in Linz | leaders, to part with their weapons. ° e ® .

When they were met with the fascist howitzers, machine guns, cannons, gas and rifle fire they found themselves ensnared by the traps set by their own treacherous leadership. VERY Socialist worker, every militant worker wishing and striving for the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of socialism cannot but take to heart the bitter lessons of the Austrian revolutionary struggles Anybody who speaks in the name of Socialism and tells the workers they can seize power through submitting to the capitalist class dictatorship is preparing them for the slaughter of fascism. Anybody who tells the workers they can piecemeal establish socialism within the rotten condi- tions of the capitalist state power, leads the workers to defeats. Through breaking away from the treacherous hold of their leaders, the Austrian Socialist workers, despite the fact that they lost a series of battles, have not been defeated. They have retreated to mobilize their forces for a greater encounter, for the ultimate victory of the proletarian revolution. It is because they know this fact, that the capitalist press seeks to sow despair among the workers everywhere by printing the ler that Socialist workers are joining the Nazis for revenge against Dollfuss. The Austrian workers know that the difference between Dollfuss and the Nazis is only the difference of imperialist alliances. HE only road to victory of the proletariat, that which Marx, Engels Lenin and Stalin pointed out for decades, is that led by the Communist International—the road of the victorious Russian revolution, of revolution- ary struggles of the workers for Soviet Power, for the Dictatorship of the tariat. ae was this road that the Austrian workers began to take from the day the proletariat at Linz broke the orders of Otto Bauer, and their Social Democratic leaders. This gave: the nal for the inspiring and valiant struggle of the workers throughout Austria st the fascist hordes. All honor to the brave heroes of the Austrian proletariat! History and the workingclass, by revolutionary struggles, will pillory their foul criminal traitors, the agents of fascism, the Social-Dem- ocratic leaders. Now, with the hounds of fascism in Austria an dthroughout the worlé attempting to strengthen fascist reaction everywhere, the Socialist workers must see that only by the most solid, unbreakable united front of all work- | ers, Communists and Socialists, can the fight against fascism achieve its oal. 3 ‘They can see that it was the Social-Democratic leaders who broke tle | yearning for unity of all workers, in a revolutionary struggle against cap~ {talism, and its brutal, open violent fascist dictatorship.

W. A. books and accounts. After Jim Garland had spoken for the Unemployment Council, and had called for workers to join, many workers signed the application cards of the Councils. his cohorts and were developing an opposition group to fight for his re- moval. At this meeting held in the Temple Club, 991 Eastern Parkway, there were about 300 to 400 painters, most of them were from local 102, some from some other locals, some unorganized, and a committee of 25 from the Alteration Painters Union. Every one of the rank and file speakers revealed the brutal corrup- tion of Jake and his gang. Although the meeting was militant, when we, a group of the Alteration Painters Union analyzed it, we saw that there were certain elements who were trying to mislead these workers and assure themseives of leadership. This the workers must guard against by electing and trusting only rank and file workers, But that they were not yet clear on how best to do this was revealed in several different ways. First, Charles Solomon, the Social- ist Party lawyer, spoke there and said, “The labor movement headed by William Green is opposed to gangsterism. You will surely get the support of the A. F. of L. leadership in cleaning out gangsters.” ‘This shows that Solomon's purpose in local 102 to fight the machine and support the resolution at the first possible chance. 2.
