SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1934 The NRA Two-Gun Policy In Minneapolis EARING olive branches and mouthing sweet hypocritical phrases about peace and justice, the Reverend Francis J. Haas and E. H. Dunnegan, missionaries of the N. R. A., entered the strike area of Minne- apolis. But behind the olive branches there gleamed the ugly, cold steel bayonets of the Na- tional Guard. The Roosevelt government, now chiefly occupied in the art of strike-breaking, is applying to strikes a quite similar stratgey to that applied by Ameri- can imperialism in the invaston and looting of colonial territories. First come the missionaries with crucifix im hand to “convert the natives”; then come the troops to shot them down. It’s this two-gun policy of peace that the Min- neapolis workers are confronted with today. The Roosevelt Mediation Board laid down the plan for the smashing of the strike through the arbitration joker; now the troops are in town to see that the plan is carried out. Veritable martial law has been declared by the Farmer-Labor Governor Olson. A military dic- tatorship, headed by the saber, rattling General Ellard A. Walsh, exists in the city of Minneapodis. The courts, the police Department, the very life of the city is now under complete control of a group of cut-throat army officers. Military courts have been planned, where workers will be tried in terse court-martial proceed- ings and flungg into prison with no opportunity for adequate defense. The provost marshal is ruling the roost, while the mediation board urges the work~- ers to quit their good strike and rely on the N. R. A. to settle matters. And how does the N. R. A. propose to setile matters? By herding the strikers back to work and then to ar ate through a so-called impartial board composed of friends of the employers. This is the way the N. R. A. has broken every strike where it has had its way. Demands of workers are not won after the strike is over. Demands are won only be nego- tiating an agreement while the workers are on the Streets. tration boards are not set up to help work- their strikes. They are set up to break strikes. The workers of Minneapolis must see to it that all negotiations are condltted directly with the em- loyers by a rank and file @ommittee elected by the . These negotiations must be carried on ‘NOW, when the workers are on strike, and not to- morrow after they have returned to work. * * * IN proclaiming martial law, Governor Olson satd he did it “in order te protect the citizens.” What citizens is the governor protecting? He is protecting that minority of citizens, the bosses, the bankers, the rich coupon clippers, The National Guard was called to protect the profits of the capitalists. Troops are in Minneapolis to beat down the living standards of the people who ‘work and produce the necessities of life. “I hope the strike negotiations will continue and that a settlement may be arranged by Father Haas and E. H. Dunnigan at the earliest pos- sible moment,” said Governor Olson, after the troops had taken control of the city—after they had begun to move trucks and protect scabs and strike-breakers. The settlement that the Governor is suggest-. img is a complete surrender te the empolyers through the mediation boadr, which is working un- der the pirate banner of the N. R. A. The Minneapolis strike must receive the support of workers in every section of the country. All unions should send protests at once to Goy- ernor Olson, demanding that he withdraw the troops. Soldiers of the National Guard should be reached by the workers and told to come over on the side of the strikers. A firm unity of aM workers on strike must be maintained. The National Guard and the mediation board cannot break the strike if workers in Minneapolis and throughout the land unite to win, Mr. Green’s ‘Purging’ Plan R. WILLIAM GREEN, president of the American Federation of Labor, and members of the top councils of the organ- ization are moving frantically into action to stop the spread of the great class strug- gle in America. “As strike treuble continues, con- servative labor leaders are moving behind the scenes to check the spread of radicalism in labor ranks,” the New York Times said yesterday. The movement to check all forms of militancy in the A. F. of L. unions, beside being headed by Green, is supported by Matthew Woll and John L. Lewis. “Weeding out of alleged Communists in the labor ranks is assured,” says the Times, “but the conservatve leaders have been most concerned with the development of the ‘rank and file’ move- ment within the A. F. of L.” The old top leaders of the A. F. of L. see the handwriting on the wall. The workers in the unions are revolting against a leadership that does nothing but break strikes. Green sees the great rank and file movement sweeping from union to union and he is trying to halt it, ‘The rank and file movement, which is growing rapidly in the unions throughout the country, must be immensely strengthened. Through building this movement stronger, through uniting the rank and file on the basis of a class-struggle program, the plans of Green to aid the bosses beat down the living standards of the workers will be defeated. Every Communist must understand that it is one of his most iffiportant tasks to help strengthen the rank and file movement in the A. F. of L. It is the duty of the Communists in the A. F. of L. locals to\lead the rank and file on the road of class struggle against the bosses, the N. R. A. and the betrayers. Communists must sink their roots deeper into the A. F. of L. unions. All workers should unite against strike-breaker | Green’s attempt to drive militants from the unions. | Green and his henchmen must be driven from the ranks of labor. Elections and War HE Austrian events of the current week have made even the blindest realize that the danger of war is a question as immediate and as vital to American work- ers as unemployment, as social insurance and as the N. R. A., with which American capitalism’s gigantic war preparations are closely linked, Congressional, State and local elections are in the offing. The Austrian situation gives even greater meaning to the plank of the Communist Party's election platform: “Against Roosevelt’s war preparedness pro- gram; against imperialist war; for the defense of the Soviet Union and Soviet China.” The Communist election platform and the fight- ing abilities of the Communist Party and its can- didates offer the American working class a power- ful lever for fighting the war danger. Communists in Congress and in local and State offices will relentlessly pursue their task of wrest- ing from the financiers and their governmental agents the vast war funds which are being spent as fast as they can be collected. They will fight with word and deed against policies which may endanger the world’s greatest positive force for peace, the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. But no matter how many or how few Commu- nist are elected to office, the Communist Party will make use of every opportunity it finds in the elec- tion campaign to continue organizing the toiling millions of this nation for the fight against im- pertalist war.

Fascist Germany, adventurist, desperate with crisis and rising pro- letarian revolution, openly yells for the dismemberment of the Soviet Union, and prepares to drive against the Ukraine. In Asia, the fascist militarists of Japan, from the West, British imperialism, grouping the anti-Soviet forces, are intriguing to encircle the U.S.S.R., with the Nazi militarists as the spear-head of the attack, But far more they hate and fear the Soviet Union.

It is against this citadel of Socialism, of the world revolution, that the imperialists turn their guns, seeking to incite the toiling masses against their own Fatherland. In this brutal rage against the Workers Fatherland the imperia!- ists, the intervention mongers, have the support of Social-Democracy, the Second International parties which betrayed the working class in | 1914 and went over to social-chauvinism.

The war ripened out of the world of “civilized” plunder, of powerful capitalist monopolies, of big imperialist powers. ‘The whole globe had been conquered and divided up; the predatory rule of the imperialist power extended from mid-Europe to South America, from Africa to Eastern Asia and Australia. The im- perialist powers came into contact with one another in the competitive struggle for the subjugation of each and every portion of the earth, however, small, in the greedy striving for sources of cheap raw materials and new markets. Ever more jealously did each of the imperialist robbers note the growth of the others, every more ferociously did they contend against one another for the booty, booty which consisted as much in the coolies of China as in the coal mines of Alsace- Lorraine, in the peasants and shepherds of Russia as in the Negro tribes of Africa, in Constantinople or Trieste, in the Bagdad railway, South American oil fields, East Indian rubber plantations, or Ukrain- ian groin fields. The intensifying struggle for a “place in the sun,” this was the struggle of the ruling class in every country for new unrestricted pos- sibilities of exploitation and profit making, the struggle for the domination of the whole world. In order, however, to plunder the world and to safeguard what they had plundered, the imperial- ist powers proceeded more and more to arm them- selves to the teeth. The embittered competitive struggle for the world market was accompanied by an extraordinarily intensified and growing com- petition in armaments. In the forty years from 1872 to 1912, the expenditure on armaments of the leading big powers increased by the following per- centages: Germany 335% Russia 214% Italy 195% England 180% Austrian-Hungary 155% PANO © sigs octias 133% Secret military alliances and open formation of blocs followed and they “announced the coming of a great armed conflict. Already at the beginning of the century, the two groupings of the imperial- ist powers which marched against one another in 1914 had taken shape. The Triple Alliance, founded in 1882, under the leadership of Germany, was con- fronted by the Entente formed in 1907 under the leadership of England. All the other imperialist antagonisms were over-shadowed by that between England and Germany. After the Franco-German War of 1871, at the end of which came the forma- tion of the German Empire, German capitalism be- gan a period of impetuous growth. German finance capital pressed forward beyond the frontiers of its own country and conquered ever wider spheres of influence and ever larger colonial areas. The build- ing of a mighty navy was intended to serve to safeguard the connection between Germany and its areas of exploitation overseas. At every step the advance of German finance capital encountered the old “spheres of interest” of British imperialism, With growing bitterness England pursued the com- petitive struggle and the competition in armaments with Germany. From the beginning of the twentieth century, numerous crises and small wars occurred as clear forerunners of the decisive conflict of 1914. The Boer War of 1900-01, the Morocco War cf 1905, the Agadir incident of 107, the Balkan crisis of 1908, the Turko-Italian War of 1911, and the Balkan Wars of 1912-13, formed the separate steps of a path which led to the World War of 1914-18. Even as late as the year 1913, Trance lengthened its period of military service, Russia increased its quota of recruits, Germany adopted a new army bill, and England enlarged its naval program. The Peace Conference at the Hague did not for a mo- ment give pause to the armament race. In 1914, the antagonisms between the powers had already been sharpened to such an extent that the German ambassador in Paris, Schon, noted with a shug of the shoulders: “Peace is relegated only to the mercy of chance.” In the summer of 1914, Europe resembled a Joaded powder magazine. It needed only the shot fired at Sarajevo on July 22, to which Francz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austrian throne, and his wife, fell a victim, in order to explode this powder magazine into the air and to unleash all the an- tagonisms in the form of war. It is true that in August, 1914, the armament programs ¢! the im- perialists had by a long way not been completely carried through. However, even these incomplete armaments sufficed to submerge the world in the greatest of all wars for a period of four and a half years. In 1914, Germany possessed not less than thirteen double lines of railway track leading to its west frontier, which allowed of the passage of 550 railway trains over the Rhine bridges every day. In the two first weeks of the war, a train passed over the Rhine bridge at Cologne every ten min- utes. When, in August, 1914, the storm broke loose, the rulers orly needed to press a button, the gen- eral staffs te open their secret archives, and the governing officials to pull out the drawers of their desks, in order that the whole system of military alliances and war plans, which had long before been prepared in every detail, should begin to function with mechanical precision. ‘The shot fired at Sarajevo was in the first place an issue which affected Austria and Serbia alone. But following in its train, the four Central Powers on one side and twenty-three countries on the other side were drawn into the vortex of war. It is true that Turkey desired to remain neutral, but the influence of the German bank treassuries interested in the Bagdad Railway proved to be more power- ful. Germany's 60,000,000 mark loan to Bulgaria and England’s $25,000,000 loan to Greece, bought also the entry of these powers into the war. Already in 1912, Poincare had predicted the outbreak of the World War in 1914, for he was aware that by this time a decisive stage in the armament programs would have been accomplished. The war of 1914 was bound to become a world war for the issue lay not only in the deep antagonism between Great Britain and Germany and the traditional hereditary enmity between France and Germany, but also in the antagonism between Austria-Hungary arid Russia in the Balkans, in the struggle for the Near East, in the expansionist aims of Japan and Italy, and in the dreams of world domination on the part of American imperialism, The whole capitalist world was, therefore, caught in the toils of the war. The area of the territory of the Central Powers amounted to 2,225,000 square kilometres with a population of 158,000,000 and an annual income of $4,000,000,000. On’ the other side stood the Entente with its area of 37,267,000 square kilometres, and a population of 1,392,000,000, possessing an annual income of $6,881,000,000, The shot at Sarajevo was no accident and it was not the real cause of the World War. Nor did the outbreak of the World War depend on the personality of the leaders of the government at that time, Bethman-Holiweg, Poincare, Grey or Sasonoyv. In order that the wide massed of the people, who after the World War were full of in- dignation at the war horrors which had been en- dured, should be deflected from a struggle against the real causes of the war, the imperialists cast the blame on one another for the outbreak of the war. The war guilt lie was the great lie of all the imperialists, the accusation against persons and governments in order to protect the capitalist system whcih really bore the guilt. The responsible gov- ernmental leaders were only the executive organs of finance capital, the rule of which leads to strug- gle for the division and re-division of the world. The capitalist social order which develops un- evenly is the source of all the contradietions, an- tagonisms and war conflicts. After 1871, Germany grew in strength four times as fast as England and France, Japan ten times as fast as Russia. The process of this uneven development naturally al- tered the relations of power between the imperial- ists and the altered power relations in their turn determined an alteration of the existing division of the plunder, is, a new partition of the world. In his article, “On the-slogan of the United States of Europe,” Lenin wrote: “There is and there can be no other way of test- ing the real strength of a capitalist state than that of war. War does not contradict the principles of private property—on the contrary, it is a direct and inevitable development of those principles. Under capitalism, the even economic growth of the individual enterprises, or individual states is im- possible. Under capitalism, there is nothing else that periodically restores the disturbed equilibrium except crises in industry and wars in politics.”* (To be continued) "Lenin Selected Works, Vol. II, “The United States of Europe Slogan.” Russian Ed, World Front HARRY GANNE: By |*Austria’s Mission” | Hitler vs. Mussolini Gateway to the Near East | {JHAT are the tims of Star- hemberg-Schussnigg and Co. (backed by Mussolini) in Austria? Both Hitler and Mussolini looked upon Austria as the key to the Danube basin, that rich agrarian and industrial area of central Europe, and as a gateway ‘to the Near East and the Soviet Union. Hitler's policy was, with the aid of the Nazis in Austria, through an uprising and armed interventon, to force the “Anschluss” (union with Austria), in order to use Austria as a springboard for war against the Soviet Union. The growing catas- trophe in Germany precipitated Hitler’s war plans and caused their collapse, increasing still further all the internal contradictions of Ger- man fascism, and heightening the antagonisms of all of the imperialist powers in Europe. eee || agiclaiten all of Hitler’s attempts to reach an alliance with Mus- solini, the antagonisms between 4 these two fascist bandits is now so great that their mutual embraces in a few short wecks are turned into a bitter hatred of the kind that drove Hitler to slaughter his best friend Roehm. Fascism flotsiers in hopless, ever-increasing, ever-broading con< tradictions. It cannot move in any direction without undermining its whole struc- ture, without bringing all of human- ity closer to new slaughters, to mas@ starvation and the great calamities, Not long before the present Nazi putsch in Austria, both Prnce von Starhemberg and acting Chancellor Schussnigg wrote articles and made | speeches of their aims, in conjunc- tion with Italian fascism. se oe IN the magazine the Christian Corporative State (Der Christli- che Staendestaat), Schusnigg wrote of “Austria’s Mission.” At that time he said: “We can, without presumption, aspire to be the tool of the heavenly will for the reconstruc- tion of Europe, and beyond that of the whole world.” | Now let’s see how this agent of god vying with Hitler for the honor proposes, along with von Starhem- berg, to “reconstruct the world.” Von Starhemberg gives us the de- tails in a speech he delivered bes fore he went to visit Mussolini. Under the title “Austria's Mission in Europe,” von Starhemberg said: “Here, in the Danube basin, we Germans of Austria will show that in us the old German forces still dwell, which once upon a time enabled our forefathers to create a world kingdom. We want to influence greater spaces than those spanned by the frontiers of Austria of today.” re ae 'HE organ of the Heimwehr, the armed fascist forces led by von Starhemberg, “Oesterreischisch Abendzeitung,” joyfully greeted Mussolini's claim to conquest in Asia and Africa. They declared that they hoped to get rich crumbs from the spoils wrung from other coun- tries by Mussolini’s armies, saying: “The whole of Asiatic trade can increase to an extent hardly imag- inable today, and when the im- portance of Vienna as a trade centre of the Danube, which flows into the Black Sea (and we may point out not far from Soviet territory—H. G.) will be tremendously increased, “Vienna could become, which is and once was its destiny, a centre of trade up to the Levant, and thereby would be given its political mission to a greater extent.” “Se Oe: “A USTRIA’S Mission,” backed by Italian fascism, then becomes quite clearly preparation for new colonial plunder and a drive for greater profits at the expense of territorial aggrandizement, and at- tacks on the Soviet Union in the Near East. rehab Wr the armies of European cape italsm mobilized for war, we may be sure they will not be sent back to their previous posts, despite the collapse of Hitler's insane)’ schemes. They have moved a step forward towards war, and will re- main in that position waiting for the order to march in order to reale ize the dreams of each of the vari- ous imperialist powers for enlarged empires. + ie 'O far as Hitler is concerned, his move alienates greater masses, The base of German fascism he- comes ever narrower.
