The circular was an attempt to &om the appointment d the politid amhm, the me~getic, active and heroic men, into a simple bureauplrtk busina, to deprive them of dl autonomy and initiative of their awn and to place them entirely at che disposal of the Miister uf War. The Madrid Defense Committee, under the presidency of General Miaja, showed how it pible to caqon sue cessful defense and then to paw on to the counter~rmck- Instead of being given mistance in correcthq shortcomings, and, above dl, instead of being imitated thmut the Spanish republic, it was suddenly dhcdved on April zq aad replaced by the Municipal Cauncil, which hi far horn ex- pressing tbe strength of the diffaent working chad demrnraric organizations of Madrid, and in particular the role and influence of the Communist Party, At a time when it is indispensable in all besieged towns like Madrid for the leadership to be thoroughly concentrated, the former President of the Council sepamted the two authoriticrr, the military (General Miaja) and the civil (the Municipal Council) and thus very considerably w&ed the def- of the town. Zn n word, for certain faction9 of the prtk and organizations, for certain membenr of the farmer gw- ernment, the enemy now is no longer fascism, but Canmu- nism. And it has to be admitted that the development of this violent adfensive against uniq mincided with the arrival in Spain oE certain ladem of the &and International, aad in prticular of Citizen Fritz Adler, mtaxy of the !hd International.

To this end, what was then required was the appliacion of the decree for the requisition of armg and the establkhent at a aniced reg- ular my.hediatdy it begsu; to be applied, tKe anarchy- loving youth, uncontrollable dements, and overt arad cwm Trotskyists, in obedience to the Tmtskyist slogans which had been advmted, proptrgated and dkdfor several months by de P.O.U.M., replied by mdertaking an armed pub&. The hunching of this putsch was Eadlitared by the atti- tude adopted by certain members of the late govetnment whose heads had been turned by the first military suames; they permitted a violent discussion fo be starmi in the s papers and inside the organizations of the People's Rant, with the mult that anti-fascist unity was weakmed. The Trotskyists then immediately began their attack. The . foliowing is what the P.O.U*M. wrote in its appeal for May Day, published in the Bataiile: "It is two years dmdy aim rbe working mamm awoke.

The situation b clear. What oxder could Franm, or more exactly HitIer, have given his agents in republican Sfin with a view to paralyzing the republican mps, the war industry and the whok life of the country? It wuld have been no other than this: "Do everything possible to inuoduce &isms, to reduce confidence in the government, to acts of sabotage, to engage in assassination, and if psible in putsches, try dl possible means to weaken the armed foKes of the republic and the war industry." "Do everything possible to divide the united forces of the republic, of the PeopIe's Front." The whole of the campaign conducted by the Trotskyists in Spain sine July, tg36, aimed at dividing, disintegrating the rear, at weakening the whole of the anti-fascist struggle. The flight abdof a number of Trotskyist "ieaders" is yet another sign of their guilt.

A head of the government and Minister of the Interior, who fail or do not want to perceive the opm preparations for r mter-rwolutionary putsch, hereby cut tbemsqlves oB from the militant anti-fascist manses at the front and in the r#r. m It is to be regretted that the ~~t was ford to remgam& itself at such a decisive moment af the war. It is still more to be wedthat certain members of the gov- ernment dowed tb&lves to be influend by the "pil- @as" who wmnot to be seen in Spain at a time when it appeaml rhet everything was lost. I am referring, primarily, to Fritz Adler, Secretary of the Second International. The visit of Friu Adler and some of his hiends immc- diately let loose a violent polemic in the Spanish press against the united form of the People's Front and first and foremost against our Communist Patty of whm z,p,ooa members, I~J~~OOOor mom than W, are wing at he kt;these dimmiwrs favored the 3rwdcma putsch. Fritz Adler tobk the liberty of deEeading Sir Walter Ciwine bp fote the Spanish workers, by identifying him with &e tlade union organizations in Great dtain, just as though Sir Walter has anything in conlmoa with the miners, dmkers, metal work and sail- of Great Britain. The truth is that by dngto defend Sir Walter trefore the Spnish workers, Friu Adler came to defend the policy of the Brit- ish Conwwrives, which has the support of Sir Walter+ It is a policy of strang1ing the Spanish republic, and has b in f0l-aever dnm the btday of the rebellion, when the British government refused cod and oil to Spanish warship at Gibraltar, when it drove the republi- fleet from Tan- giers in order to permit Franco's tmps to mw the straits. This policy has continued right up ta the present day whea it demands mediation each time the Wsr rebels and the interventionist tmop are defeated by the republican army. This is the policy that Fritz Adler, who never allows an cxcaqion to pass wherein to dedare himelf violently op posed to the People's Front, came to defend and operate in Spain. It is infinitely regrettable that certain leadm of the Spanish Socialist Party allowed themselves to be influenced by this man whose arrival in Spain coincided with the £ma- tic attacks of the Trotskyists, aimed at dividing the People's Front and amusing a violent campaign against our Com- munist Party. Especially at the Fntmoment, the men fighting in Spain have no time for these "tourists at the front,'* There is room for everybdy in the Spanish republican anny, but only for the purp~seof 6&ting againat fascism, and not for sowing getnu of diiiom One an only regret the tenacity and obstinacy of a num- ber of the leaders of the kmdInternational who appose the mation of an extensive united fmt, of unity of adon which in Europe would result in a tremendous wave of aid ior the Spanish republic and would overcome all &stance.

The Spanish people will be victorious beeam our Communist Party has grown cxmsidembly in swmgdi ad prestige in the fire of the struggk, has actually become tht most impartant factor in the victory of the revolution and of the war of national independence. Our glorious brother Party has haeased lErom 3&mo members in February, 1936, to n49,aoo memh today, of whom more than half (~ggm)are aret the front, elported by 54000 memk of the United Sodaliat Party of ata- loaia and ~z,ommembers of the Communist Party of Xi cay, and has proved tbe comctness of all its p@ and directions. The "eight conditions for victory" in pdcdat, which have been posted on all the walls of Spain shm tDecember, form a remarkable charter whi6 if applied, would mean a decisive step fornard in the direction of sum The prestige and iniluence of the Communist Paq arc high in the U.G.T. and are growing ~trongin the CN.T.; its influence is considerable in the counqsi& and L tre mendous in the army.

They rrerve as emmples in the training and mold- ing of new fightem There is JM Diw General Semearp, a k&le pbtt work, today r deputy £mm Madrid. This veteran prole- tarian righter, who dved attention three years ago, but who is today consulted by the President of the Republic when a new Cabinet has to be formed, shows how great is the pawer repented by the General kmmry of the Gnual Committee of the Communist Pwy oE Spain. This lirtle worker, dm,reflective, collected in the moment of ptestdanger, in those most tqic hours of September, October and November, 1936, is the real type of the Span- ish Bolshevilr. There is our great Comrade La Pasionaria, the most pop- ular peraan in all Spain, an almosc legendary figure: 'When she goes into the counuyside, into a village or house, the people touch her to see if she is redly made of flesh, or if she is imaginary," says Diaz. The Wngwords of Pasiona- ria have become historic-her cay which brought 5o,(x~, Paris workers to their feet with enthusiqm in September, 1936: "The Spanish people would rather die on hitfeet &an live on their knees:' or that phrase to the soldiers de- fending Madrid: "The Spanish menprefer to be widows of hema than companions of sIava!' There is the mechanic Uribe, a vetem leader of the Party, today Minister of Agriculture, whose name is cher- ished in the countryside because his deme of October 7, 1936, has given the land to those who till it. There is Heraandet, a worker, a house-painter, young, yet a veteran militant of the Pmy, today Minister of Pub- lic Eduation. He is one of the most brilliant orators of Spain and has given invaluable service to the anti-fascist awe. There is Carton, the little worker, one of the most popu- lar figures among the peasant maws of Estramadura, This deputy from 3adajoz has never left them on= since July 18, 1936. Carton, the commander of the 16th Brigade, on the Fint of May, carrying out the directives of the Party, stormed the Cabeaa Monastery, which was reputedly impmg- nab1e. Carton has become one of the best ofbm in the new Spanish people's army. There is Comrade Cheat, "the Party man," its oqaniza- tionaI secretary, whose silent, vigilant, active work made possible the great growth of the powerful, Communist Parry. Checa-who a- people- to wonder when he am There is Comrade Mije, tirelais fighter for trade unioh unity, who today is one of the five Commissar Genhof the entire Spanish army. Mije-is there a singh front in Spain where the soldiers in befront lines do not how him? There is Ancon, ~taryof the Madrid Provincial Com- mittee of the Party, Camrnissar General of the desof the Center, aIongside the glorious Cend Miaja, and who, with the Pmvincial Committee of Madrid, has been one of the mat powerful form in the defense of the capital. I There is the entire bright constellation of.military wm- manders, only yesterday workers, nwer having been soldiers, C and who today, like the novice gends of the Fren& Rev* lution, are holding in check the veterans of Franm, Hitler and Mussolini. There is El Campino, victorious defender of the Sierra de Guadalajara; Francisco Gallan, who comes fmm a glor- ious family of anti-fascist martyrs and fighters; Lister, a building worker, who commands a division on the Madrid front; Mdesto, a quiet-mannered worker, who cod an anny corps before Madrid. Thm are dl thae men who since July have not known a single day of rest; these men. models of firmness, of mnfidena, of bundlesa devotion m the mse of the people and the cause of the proletariat; there am all these heroic men and women, who, by their example, have won to our Party its hutdrds of thousands of new members and new sympathim. lhnb m its activhy and met3w anzibcist wtis gmwing b& sad deep with everg day &at paam Om Communist Party C witam&g its ht sucam in the -pip to unite the two panics, Sdaht srad Communist.

The Sfwnish pmpk will be wictoriow because on this miid basis the unti-fascist m~mfbrinp about the con- centration and unification of all the fmccs 01 the people. When the Csmmunist Party during the first days of the rebellion declared that the prime need was the defense of the demmatic republic, many important Sodalist leaden demanded, on the msary, that a kidist republic be in mediately established, failing to understand th& this would immediately smaah he PeopleenFmnt and lead to the vie tory of fascism. T&y, thanks to the activities of the Communist Party, many of the laden of the !WaIist Party have changed their attitude and adopted the point of view of the Communist Party, which alone will make it paible, with victory and after it, to p~pthe real march toward dm. a C.N.T. and the FAI. have mndy declared that we must wait far the end of the war before trying to set up "libertarian" communism. In Qaober they raised the qtlea tion of an insurrection to set up a dictatorial Council of Defense. Then they demanded a "rwolutimary alliance" between the C.N.T. and U.G.T., with a view to setting up a "government on Weunion Sma" charged with the immediate accomplishment of the &a1 malutim. What . a uemendou change has taken plaa in thae organhatiml At the beginning of the fascist rebellion, the republimu, while declaring it impuwible to mutn to a republic of the April 14 type, ddessin the majority of casm wexe against the acceptance of a soda1 pqmm whid could pm vide the republic with a new cype of eoon~4 politid -tent. Today they are Wily supxtiug the viewpoint of che Communist Party and an!? helping to put it into pmfw. I To have successfully united these diittrends, indud- ing the Basque Catholics, on the basis of the antitifaxist People's Front, to have succeeded in securing the accep- of the principle of the creation of a united people's army, and the operation in Spain of a united army command, nationalization of the factories, and at the same time mpcct for the small and middle property-holders in town and country, are no small sucms. A year ag~notdy would have believed that such a large anti-fascist and national force could k possible. True, the difficulties facing he new government are tremendous. The most serious lies in a cemin lack ab trwt on the part of the majority of the Exemtiye Committee of the U.G.T. and of organizations of the C.N.T. umards the new government. It seems, however, that this resistme will not persist for long. For example, the U.G.T. annot farget that it b con- ,siderably increased in membership since July, 1936, and that threequarters at least of the unions affiliited to it are strong supporters of unity and the People's Froat. But the central councils of the trade unions and the Executive Corn mittee of the U.G.T. have not been deddsince Octok, 1934. They do not, thus, represent the red feelings of the members which, momver, vary in the different regions. For example, there is not a single Communist on the Executive Committee of the U.G.T.,although the U.G.T. wade unions in Madrid and Caralonia are Communist in the majority of ca!Rs. Moreover, the resolutions congratulating the new govern- ment adopted by the U.G*T.organizations in Madrid, Ca- ulonia, Biscay and Asturias, are sufficient prmf thac Lhe Executive Committee in Valenua does not reflea the opinion of the members.
