"NOT OUR WAR," SAYS NAZI WORKERS

The German workers and peasants do not want war and have nothing in common with the Nazi regime. says a communication which has been received by the I.L.P. from the Independent Socialists of Germany,

The statement, written on the eve of the outbreak of war, says:

"In the moment before the cannon speak, before the world faces horror and manslaughter, we send our mes .sage to you.

"The German workers do not want this war, the German peasants do - not want war. Hitler begins the war with Poland against the will of large masses of the population.

"Comrades, we love Germany, the country where we have been educat- ed and born, but though we love our native country, we have nothing in common with the present regime.

"In our illegal pamphlets, spread even among the fortification workers watched by the Gestapo, we have protested against the occupation of Austria, against the annexation Czecho-Stavakia, against Flitler's policy of aggression, and war.
