Five National Socialists (fascists) have been sentenced to death in Silesia, Germany, for the murder of a Communist which took place on Aug. 9. They were sentenced under decree which ordered the death sentence in certain parts of Germany for any one participating in a political struggle. The law was passed to crush the workers and farmers following the Communist party in the struggle. The government has made the present move against the fascists to hide the fact that the law is definitely against the Communists. No one expects that the sentence will be executed against the fascists. Hitler, leader of the fascists, has taken the occasion of the sentencing to make some windy statements about taking matters into his own hands. In the meantime he is still dickering with the other capitalist parties to determine on what terms the various political agencies of the capitalist class can get together to form a government when the Reichstag opens on August 9.
