For this reason, | Roosevelt in his recent N. R. A. speech, is forced to dwell on the question of fascist dictatorship and Sttempts to dispel the growing concern of the workers. He said he was “a little amused and perhaps at times » little saddened,” by the charge that “we are now committed to Communism and collectiv- fgm or that we have adopted Fasciem and dictator- ship.” What does Roosevelt attempt to do? Here in his wpeech he directly fights against Communism. He ‘would also make it appear that he is against Fascism. Actually, the kernel of his speech is the admission of the open abandonment of reliance on capitalist strengthening monopoly fascist dictator, or to those who pave the way for Fascism. ET US examine Roosevelt's “equitable balance be- tween conflicting interests” and see how by this means he follows the historical road of the Von Papens, the Bruenings, the Dollfusses and Hitlers. Premier Dollfuss of Austria, by talking against ‘the dictatorship of the Nazis and of Communism, Precisely in the manner of Roosevelt, served step by step to prepare the road for Fascism, and him- welf became the fascist dictator by slaughtering the Austrian proletariat. In Germany Bruening and Von Papen, by meas- i ‘ures now followed by Roosevelt, prepared the ground for Fascism, for the fascist dictator Hitler. All of them protest in the loudest voice that the capitalist state, the instrument of finance-capital, | ts impartial. Roosevelt tries to set himself up in the eyes of the workers as being apart and different from the dominant bankers and industrialists. He tries to | instill this illusion among the masses in order to | | keep them from struggling against his policies which are from beginning to end in the interest of mo- nopoly capitalism, in the interest of the more open control of the Roosevelt government by the most dominant exploiters of the American workers. Let ‘us examine the actual steps of the Roosevelt re- @ime to see how this is accomplished. Through inflation, he lowered the standard of Mving of the whole American toiling population, making the masses pay for the huge subsidies given to the banks. He began the most gigantic war con- struction program ever witnessed in the United Next, he proceeded to the N.R.A. Through the WRA, as admitted officially now by the N.R.A.

When capital- What ws the proletarian dictatorship which Roosevelt lumps with the fascist dictatorship, in order to put forward his M-concealed phrases about “equitable balance” and a state above all classes? To paraphrase the words of Engels on the Paris Commune: “Gentlemen of the bourgeoisie, if you want to see the proletarian dictatorship in action, | look at the Soviet Union!” There, where the ioiling masses have destroyed the capitalist state ang seized the country for the workers and peasants, they have set up their own revolutionary government. In the Soviet Union there is the widest democracy for the toiling masses, and iron proletarian dictatorship over the enemies of the workers’ state, over the former exploiters and their remnants. The fascist dictator- ship is the rule of a handful of big bankers and monopolists, with dictatorship over the great mass of the people. As V. I. Lenin has pointed out, pro- letarian democracy, under the dictatorship of the proletariat, is a thousand times more democratic for the broadest masses of the People than the most democratic republic of capitalism ever was. It is no accident that Roosevelt borrows from German and Austrian Social Democratic leaders, who likewise argued against what they termed both | the Communist and fascist dictatorship. Otto Bauer, Austrian Socialist leader, on the basis of this argu- ment, helped Dollfuss (who was also in words against both dictatorships) to introduce the bloodiest Fascism. . . . oo. Roosevelt now proposes a more drastic pur- suance of all his policies which resulted in the strengthening of monopoly capitalism, subsidies, parasitism and war preparations, in view of the growing resistance of the American workers, it is no accident that the main emphasis is put on “die- tatorship” and the role of the capitalist state against “conflicting classes.” This talk against “conflicting classes” is an ef- fort to disarm the class struggles of the workers, hae? auc the class struggle of the capi- S and their oppre: Reig pressive state power against the » Roosevelt puts forward the idea of “national unity.” Mussolini comes out with the same idea dis- guised as the “corporate state.” Hitler blathers about the state “above classes.” Dollfuss also justifies Kis terror by talking about ‘national unity.” They are for overcoming the class struggle of the workers by establishing the absolute domination of. the. bour- geoisie . Roosevelt's latest speech, coupled with those of his closest henchmen, taken together with all of hig increasingly oppressive acts. against the workers, show an alarming growth of faseist methods of the New Deal. The whole working class must be warned and aroused over these new developments, The shame- less demagogy of the Roosevelt government, put up aS @ smoke screen, now thicker than ever, to hide the rapidly advancing steps towards fascism, must be brought to the attention of all workers. We must raise the greatest cry of this Browing danger and prepare the workers to fight it. In all of the struggles of the workers against their lowered living standards, against the monster company unions, spawn of the Roosevelt N. R. A, the Communists must take the lead in rallying the forces of the workers for a Powerful struggle against Fascism. . . . | Naess is not yet established. But anyone who hides from the workers the rapid development of fascist measures under the New Deal is biinding the workers to the rapid introduction of Fascism through such measures. If we fail to see the rapidly developing trend towards Fascism we fail to or- ganize and to prepare the workers for the struggle against Fascism. We fail to deliver the organized blow of the workers’ class and the whole toiling Population against every blow delivered by the bour~ geolsie in the course of the introduction of fascist, measures, Likewise, there is still the other danger, that Fascism will be looked upon as inevitable. Such a viewpoint, also, leads to passivity in the ranks of the workers, and results in the lquidation of their anti-fascist struggle, Fascism is not. inevitable. It would be inevitable only if the workers remained indifferent to the fascist measures contained in Roosevelt’s New Deal. And the workers are not indifferent! Capitalism is bankrupt. It brings only more and more suffering and misery to the masses. Fascism offers only more parasitism, greater impoverish- ment of the whole toiling population, brutality, oppression and war. ‘There is only one choice for the workers — the revolutionary way out, the road of revolutionary struggle against capitalism and all its fascist meas- ures, the path of struggle for Soviet Power that will end capitalism in all of ite rotten and decaying forma Many Publications for the Int’] Workers from Judge Refuses Motion To Quash Indictment; Detectives Confuse By OSCAR RYAN (Special to the Dally Worker) TORONTO, Canada, March 6—| yn Prosecutor Peter White, K.C. completed tt ng convict: Smith, General | Canadian Labor Defense League, | charges of seditious utterances legedly made st the’ Progressive | Arts Club KHygeia Hall meeting, | Jan. 17, protesting the government's | | ban on the play “Bight Men Speak.” | ‘Chief Justice Rose a> di « |fense motion to quash ment.

These orders which Andre d’Oli- vier, representative of the French National Association for Economic Expansion, is taking back with him to France are for road-building, rail- road supplies, canal, harbor and port developments, airplanes and devel- oping of chemical industries needed for war. This beginning of large-scale in- | vestment in Manchukuo by the most powerful financial and industrial in- terests in France is looked on here as inevitably leading toward recog- nition of Manchukuo by France, and as an indication of forthcoming French support for Japan’s war aims on the Asiatic continent.

Fascists Murder, Torture Workers | in Vienna Prisons | 'Daily Raids on Workers | Continue; More Than 6,000 in Prison VIENNA, Mar. 6.—New facts of the Dollfuss-Heimwehr fascist ter- ror, are coming to light every day. Workers have been tortured and bayoneted to death in the Viennese prisons, and hundreds have been beaten and tortured in an effort to extract testimony from them to be used at the trials of 6,000 class war prisoners now held in Austrian jails. Two thousand of these are in prison in Vienna alone. Daily raids are carried out in the working class districts, houses searched, and men, women and chil- dren beaten and terrorized by Heim- wehr bands, with the authority of the government, The prisoners are tormented in overcrowded jails, without elemen- tary facilities, without sufficient water to quench their thirst, starved with insufficient food, and at the mercy of the brutal police and Heimwehr fascists, who subject them to periodical beatings and tortures. Their families are not allowed to visit them.
