Rivera’s Role Revealed by Speakers at John Reed Club Minor, Freeman Among Speakers; Vigorous | NEW YORK.—HounéGreds of artists, workers and stu@ents jammed the hall of the John Reed Club, 583 Sixth Aventic, to hear representatives of | various workers’ organizations discuss the question of the Lenin mural at | Rockefeller City at an open membership meeting of the Club Wednesday | it passed.

Joseph Freeinan acted as cliairman, Adopt Resolution resolution adopted by The the wholehearied determinaiion the It was pointed out that the SS in art.” It called for united action of 2 artists, intellectuals and work- ers for mass struggle. At the same ime, it declared that this struggle had already been seriously weakened by the compromises of Rivera, and deéelared that it would fight against | any bargaining as an aid to the Rockefellers in covering up thei: re- | actionary policy. Only a few Lovestonites and Trots- kyités who had takén the floor éarlier in the evening refrained from voting. ‘Trotskyites on Hand Freeman announced at the begin- ning of the meeting that all present including the different gyoups who had eorlier in the day participated in the Columbus Circle meeting and the picketing of Radio City and the Rockefeller residence—would be given an opy unity to participate in the discussion. This annoufhcement, how- ever, did not prevent several Trots- kkyites present from intérrupting the speeches in the most disorderly man- ner. ‘The Rivera incident, speakers pointed out, raised two problems. Oné was thé impossibility of a free art under capitalism. This problem, he said, is in its essence the problem of the proletarian revolution against capitalism, The second problem raised by the incident was the re- lation of the revolutionary artist to the revolutionary movement. ‘The speakers stressed the necessity of supporting the fight for the pre- servaiion of the mural. In discus- ging the second problem, he described Riveta’s services to the revolution both as painter and politician up to 1929. In that year, however, it was inted out, Rivera wént over de- itely to the side of American im- vty gg represented at that time by ight Morrow, and to the fascist government of Mexico headed by ak (Continued Tomorrow) ! Portes Gil. The specific issué on which Rivera was expelled from the Communist ‘Party of México was his Acceptance of an appoiritment by the fascist government as héad of the National Art School at a time when that saihe government wes hounding the Party, suppressing its newspapers. shutting down its meeting places and shooting some of its leaders. Rivera, who was a member of the Centyal Cominittee, not only aécepted a gov- efnment post but would not raise his yoice in protest against the govern- ment’s atrocities. Rivera’s expulsion from the Party, based 6n his open alliance with the Portes Gil government and Dwight Morrow, wes followed by & profound change in his paintings. In the same National Palace where Rivera had Previously painted murals remark- able for their technique and profound in their revolutionary cofitent, he now painted a chauvinisti¢ history of xico, in which Calles appears as Me of the national héroes. This fresco served to incredse the indig- nation of revolutionary workers in Mexico against the leeter who had abandoned them, but the reactionary for the first time began to je Rivera's work. Riveta’s Work in U. 8. Rivera’s first work in the United Staies-tne California and Detroit murals—were decidedly weak, because the painter did not bring in inei- dents of the actual elass struggle, as he had done in some of his earlier Mexican frescos. The Rockéfelier mural was pointless until the painter inserted Lenin's head, which sudden- ly transformed it into a symbel for which we must fight. “But while we fight for the pre- servation of the mural,” Joseph Free- man seid, “it is our duty to point out Rivera’s shortcomings in art and polities, Be is not a fellow-traveller; he is a former member of the Cen- tral Committee of the Mexican Com- munist Party, and of him more is expected. en he travéls away from the revolution, he must be poet criticized for the sake of réal vevolutionary artists and for the sake of the revolution as a whole.” When the speeehes were over, all the Trotskyites who asked for the floor obtained it and were given more than the allotted five minutes. The | sudience did not interrupt them—a courtesy they themselves did not ex- tend to the John Reed Club speak- ers. The effect of letting them speak freely and fully was that they re- vealed the utter bankruptcy of their ideas, as did two Lovestonites speak- ers, one_of whom went so far as te attack Ruby Bates, important figure in the fight to save the nine Scotts- boro boys.

Several of these testified on the motion of the defense to dismiss the indictment on the ground that Negroes are sys- | tematically excluded from jury ser- | vice. After the case was submitted to ‘the jury and while thé jury was out, Schwab told the Daily Worker “sev- eral white farmers came over and expressed sympathy for the defend- ants. Others, more cautious, showed their interest by asking whether théfe was a chance of the jury ‘purning them loose’.” Fail to Terrorize Far from terrorizing the Negro croppers and city: workers, the ver- diet against the Tallapoosa defend- ants has ofly made them more de- termined to fight, Schwab declaréd. He told of “the new spirit which is developing, as shown in the May 1 demonstration in Birmingham where Negto workers fought with police who were trying to arrest Jané Speed, a Southern white woman.” The only thing that can save the Tallapoosa croppers is a nation-wide protest, the LL.D. lawyer concluded.

However, we think it is not enough for a sec- tion committee, after analysing a serious situation of high fluctuation, just to eéniimerate a few general tasks of the Party a@& the remedy. The Section Committee must be cleat on thé conoreté steps to be taken to accomplish these tasks. Exactly what is the Section going to do to overcome the various weak~ nesses that it found to be the cause for thé serious fluctuation? What steps is thé Section taking to develop new functionaries? To givé better guidance to the captains? To do away with collections, tickets, lengthy meetings, etc.? ‘These problems will be solved only | when the section committee will plan definite steps to be taken and con~ tinually check up on the carrying out of these stéps.
