Unfortunately for any adequate ap- preciation of the poetry of the new Russian culture the scope of the book is too wide. It attempts to span the entire range of Russian poetry from Pushkin to the present day in less than 200 pages, and since about two-thirds of the book is occupied with pre-revolutionary writers, the Section devoted to the poets of revolutionary Russia is necessarily frag- mentary. But even this fragmentary cross-section offers a refreshing contrast. Perhaps many of these poets aren’t good poets. They are windy and rhetorical and often merely shout at the top of their lungs. But they are amazingly alive human beings; their senses tingle; and their work «# flooded with the fever and rhythm of a young and growing world. What a contrast to their predecessors! If one were to judge from this anthology, most Russian poetry prior to the revolution was pro- duced as a sort of sacred ritual by esthetes, diabolists and half-mad religious mystics, French symbolism, married to a vague, neurotic God, gave birth to pale, delicate verses. The notes of passivity and defeat, Nirvana and death dominate. Russian czarism was prolific in tortured souls. * The Bolshevik Revolution blasted this charnel-house poetry, it ruth- lessly burnt out the spiritual mildew of many years. Poets found their serenity invaded, their emotions torn this way and that, the monas- teries they had built up about their frightened little souls toppled over by the shout of a triumphant working clas: Many fled into exile, a few remained. And at the crossroads loomed inexplicably the figure of Alexander Blok. It was one of the ironies of the life of Alexander Blok—and of the Russian Revolution—that it was given to this bourgeois intellectual, this A glimpse‘of this new culture as expressed in its poetry is offered| ‘OPEN SHOP AND “COMPANY UNION 2.25.

And of the ten such poets included in “Russian Poetry” it is no accident that practically all are of proletarian or peasant origin. Several, including poets of such divergent tendencies as Vladimir Mayakovsky and Demyan Bedny (who seems to be a sort of poet laureate of the Soviet Union), were revolutionists in the underground days and ate now members of the Communist Party. Whatever their limitations, they are important as exponents of a new culture and as pathfinders. Behind them lie the ruins of the capitalist world and the last glimmers pf its culture. Before them lies socialism and the culture of socialism. + © Since I can’t read Russian, I can criticize neither the selection of poems nor the faithfulness of the translations included in “Russian Po- etry.” Avrahm Yarmolinsky probably did most of the selection and the actual translating, while Babette Deutsch, herself a well known poet, Seems to be responsible for turning the translations into English verse. And she has done a superb job. As one who has translated poetry from b foreign language I can testify to the enormous difficulties that the task involves. If Babette Deu' doesn’t always succeed in transmuting good Russian poetry into good English poetry, she at least nearly always achieves smooth, interesting verse. She and Avrahm Yarmolinsky ought to give us an anthology devoted exclusively to the poetry of the new Russia. And leave it to International Publishers to do a good publishing job. A HEALTHY MODERN. GOOD-BYE WISCONSIN. $2.50. By Glenway Wescott. Harper and Brothers. Reviewed by EDWIN ROLFE. ON= would have to search long and read much among the younger writers to find so healthy an attitude as that of Glenway Wescott in “Good-Bye Wisconsin”; an attitude of sensible skepticism toward the social values of the present-day ruling class, tempered with a sincere intellectual delving into the roots of present-day America. ‘ Wisconsin is the symbol of America to Wescott, at least the symbol} of the lower-class, which to him is the poor farmer. Categorically, this is incorrect. In addition to Wisconsin there is Pennsylvania, Washing- ton, New York, Georgia, with the different slices of American prole- tarian life that they encompass and represent. But for Wescott’s pur- pose the poor farmer of the middle-west is sufficient. * cee Stories in the book like “The Runawaysy” depicting the hopeless lives of mid-west workers who, kept in ignorance of everything outside of their own poverty, emulate their masters in their self-imposed forget- fulness and decadence, bear evidence of sincere study and observation. Others, like “In a Thicket” and “Like a Lover,” show the author for what he really is: a writer striving for perfection in his craft, not interested in anything except the acquisition of a valid method of interpreting the modern world. Few prejudices mar the content of Wescott’s stories. ‘He has drawn truthfully, with the aid of a careful and exact prose, the eleven tales embodied in this volume. Each story has an authentic ring; Wescott is unpolluted by the modern quack-schools of writing and as a result is able to present scrupulously a cross-section of American life. * * * Let me quote a selection, taken from the title story of the volume, describing college students: . “Most of them are solid and rubicund, one or two slender ones with the dead-leaf complexion; men and large men at that, but they have the blushes, the look of haunted innocence of small boys. Hand- some, as a group compared with other groups, the individual faces seem too fresh and too amiable. Republican principles, false-looking gestures of affection, more than one hand laid deliberately on the next shoulder, expert joking evidently meant to create an atmosphere of intimacy; these habits will be useful in later life if they are to be, for example, travelling salesmen or ward politicians. No sign of thoroughgoing candor; almost every speech is followed by an acute _ glance et someone, to see how it is being taken; each is playing up | to the other.” on meh. All this is g¥od; Wescott’s attitude is a healthy one, and, although not primarily concerned with the class struggle, his integrity as a writer ‘brings the presence of it into his work. a _ 4 But the title of the volume gives birth to a question: will Wescott jeontinue along the path that his work, up to the present, indicates, and lead it to its inevitable consummation, or will he let himself be swept into the muddiness of artistic frustration and unhealthy cynicism Which is the scourge of most of Europe’s intellectual centers? If he stains his admirable restrain and artistry, both of craft and mind, the ances are even that he will continue to improve. Otherwise (and cei jai excerpts from his past writings substantiate this possibility) he msy go the way of Ezra Pound and E, E. Cummings, and join the post- ‘var emigres in their worship before the blood-stained shrine of Wdachiavellianism, union) and gradually the others | were forced to accept these condi- tions. Today there are several different }groups of waterfront workers, the steady men, the open-shop and the} |closed-shop men.

The Milwaukee |Dock is closed shop. The Alaska |Steamship Co., Pier 2, employs 150 jmen on the list. Bell St. and Port |Commission employ 50 truckers, and last, and also least, the I. L.

Less than |5 per cent of the men employed in the Seattle port have revolutionary tendencies, and yet it was at this |port more than at any other that jen organized attempt was made by the workers to prevent the loading of munitions to destroy the Russian Revolution. The time has come to jact, to build a powerful union in this |basic industry, to prepare for the |next war by developing a militant revolutionary spirit among {workers on the waterfront.

Austria has hitherto counted among the “most democratic” states of Europe.

On October 7, the forces of Aus- |trian reaction held their dress re- |hearsal. The result? The bour- |geois democracy ‘of Austria threw jitself with all its available forces jonto the side of the Home Defence League, and the social democrats, whilst forced by the pressure of the | masses to resolve on a counter dem- onstration, made no real struggle jagainst the fascist parade.

SINGING JAILBIRDS A new technique of production is being evolved by the New. Play- parting of | wrights Theatre for Upton Sinclair’s | “Singing Jailbirds.” This innovation in stage composition should solve an important problem of the stage di- rector and scenic designer. Most scenic designers have con. tended themselves with constructing pretty sets that do litle more than indicate the location of action. Now and then a daring artist throws in a little symbclism fdr good measure. The stage director on the other hand has been forced to accept the sets as screens before which the actors perform. Both have realized that this method dees not exploit * the possibilities for theatrical effect that exist in the relation of actor to background. The occasional ef- fort to achieve the proper effect usually results in freakish scenery, presented under the guise of “mod- ernism.” The New Playwrights Theatre has dopted a-procedure which will cre- ate a plastic background for the |actor, giving unity to the entire| stage composition. Sets are con- structed that will be in harmony with the size, posture and move- ments of the actors by having them perform before rough scenery built on movable platforms out of boxes and cardboard. The constructions are shortened, lengthened or re. shaped according to the demands of the scene and the action. The ac- tors perform again, and the mould- ing of scenery continues. At the seme time the actcrs are taught to accomodate their postures ahd ges- tures to the special scenic designs. When the desired harmony is achieved, drawings are made of the final compositicn, the rough sets are destroyed, and now permanent sets are built. Thus the background and the people on the stage are adjusted to each other as the rehearsals pro- ceed, We demand the immediate re- moval of all restrictions in all trade unions against the member-* «bip of Negro workers and equal opportunity for employ: wages, hours and working co: tions for Negro and white work . 'to raise the morals.” gle of the workers, peasants or na- tional minorities the Polish socialist | party lined itself up with the capi-' talist and Pilsudski governments to | suppress these struggles. They | also are outstanding advocates for | war against the Soviet Union under the slogan that “Communism is a |Menace to Poland.” | The meeting was also addressed |by Alfred E. Goetz, (in English), \Kristalsky (in Russian), and Schawala (in Ukrainian). Vronsky, the chairman, presented a | resolution in which he greeted the Communist Party of Poland and the 100,000 striking textile workers, in lthe name of the workers assembled. |The resolution condemned the \traitorous socialist-fascist party of Poland and calls on all Polish work- ers in America to stand by the Workers (Communist) Party of America. * * At the same afternoon at the meeting of Sokolovski at Dom Pol- ski Hall which was held under the auspices of the Polish Socialist Al- liance, scores of workers demanded the floor to denounce the lies of the |fascist Sokolovski. For about ten minutes Gebert demanded the right to speak from the floor and despite the fact that the chairman denied |him the floor, Comrade Gebert spoke ‘for a few minutes exposing the fascist Skolovski and his party and was hailed by the large number of workers assembled. Many of the workers yelled from the floor: “Re- lease the Political Prisoners in Po- Hand,” “Down with the Traitors,” |“Down with the Bloody Fascism,” “Down with Pilsudski,” “Down with the ‘Polish Socialist Party, and “Down with the Traitors of the Working Class.” The meeting was adjourned by |committee in charge turning out the * |lights in an attempt to prevent Com-|. rade Gebert from continuing his speech.

Channing Pollock, | playwright, has announced his resignation from the Church and Drama Association, of which he is one of the founders. The immediate cause of his res- jignation was the refusal of the as- sociation to endorse his latest play, “Mr. Moneypenny.” Pollock’s disap- proval of the association was said to be based upon his contention that the organization was “lowering the |taste of the theatre in its campaign Distribute _ The DAILY WORKER Bat in his attack on certain of} the moral skibboleths of bourgeois society lhsen played objectively (and within ‘imits) a revolutionary role.

Tho one of the shallowest as it was one of the most hastily written of,Ibsen’s plays, “An Enemy of the People” glows with all of Ibsen’s magnificent craftsmanship. even a comparatively shallow Ibsen play is filled with flashes of his genius. “An Enemy of the People” is thoroly entertaining all the way thru and its satire of the typical bourgeois in the person of Aslaksen, the printer, is superbly done. This role is admirably played by Cecil Yapp, a veteran of the Hampden troupe. The play reveals® many of Ibsen’s fundamental shortcomings as a so- |in an unfavorable social milieu.
