When the Utah docks at Copenhagen, the dock workers refuse to unload the mail-bags without extra overtime pay. The sailors are asked to do the job, and Slim objects, telling them it would be scabbing. But, by threatening to withhold ‘their pay, the bos’n gets most of them to unload the bags.

He grabbed hold of the: first woman in every place, and «ach time Bobbie dragged him, away. Finally they wound up in Cap, Horn. A skirt in the middle of the ‘floor was throwing up her legs in a solo, trying hard to make a customer. She looked like forty hardworking | seasons. But Bobbie was watching a little blondie who sat with ayotng sailor near the orchestra. ' The waiter came over. All the waiters in this joint were husky 200-pound- ers, “Three beers,” ordered Bobby. “No, I want whiskey,” demanded the Eskimo, two whiskeys.” . 8 8 * : mS FUER drinking, Bobbie squeézed Aus tie a little tighter and=went over to ask the blondie if she ct She did.

The man was a well-built, quiet-looking Scandinavian of about 38. Looked like a ‘ge captain or owas 10 ships’ carpenter. She was a typical cafe coaxer, not much on looks,: but dressed clean.

Slim began to show signs of life. The pair at, the next table got up to dance ‘and passed. The whore made a discour- ing gesture to Slim: “No use wait- < for her.” Pi 2 pointed to the other prosti- tute, who was dancing with, the Scandinavian, “I noticed you ‘been looking at her all night. But jvhen Mary’s with her Johnny there, she’s closed to everybody else.” V" Siim pretended great interest, The girl had nico teeth, “How come?” “Oh, those two have been Zaweet- , you're coming ‘with: us,”| Bobbie. “Get hold: of “his ; | farming movement and the hearts for the last eight years.

Then after he’s gone, Mary gets eyes like that!” ‘The whore put her fists under her eyes. | “From crying for him?” The woman laughed. “Hell, no! Her pimp beats the living hell out of her. He don’t like this johnny.” Slim was wondering all along how to break the sad news that he was broke. By way of a starter he asked, “What's your name?” “Tingle. What's yours?” Just then the music started again, | and Tingle grabbed his hand. “Come on, honey, let’s dance.” Slim pulled a face and stuck to his chair. “What's the matter, honey, don’t! you know how?” Slim showed his empty pockets. Tingle tingled quickly away. * COUPLE of minutes later, the door to the place banged open. A heavy-set man, with high cheek- bones and yellowish mustaches stood in the doorway. It was hard to tell) if he was momentarily tight or just | naturally mean. He looked the place over like a dick. Suddenly his eyes stopped. He had found what he wanted. Slim began to feel a bit uncomfortable, Just as the fellow was within a few steps of him, he heard a movement on the other side jof his table; the Scandinavian’s shadow flashed by him and he heard a smack. Then another one, clean, solid, like a sheet of seawater hit- ting the bulkhead. The blood shot out of the fellow like wine from a stuck bladder.. Two bouncers rushed over and finished the job. The whole thing was over in a minute. Slim began to savvy. So that was why | the Scandinavian and his Mary had been leaning against the wall, facing the door, and going easy on the beer! The sailor had meanwhile ordered another couple of bottles,, while Mary smoothed his coat collar a bit. When the' music started again they got up and danced just as before. Still the same nice easy tempo. Finally the man drained his bottle, said a few words to the girl. She nodded. He called the waiter, paid, and they wound their way through the tables to the doorway which led upstairs, (CONTINUED TOMORROW) “Daily” Correspondent Co-author of Book On the Soviet Farmer Nathaniel Buchwald, correspon- dent in the Soviet Union for the New York Daily Worker and Morn. ing Freiheit, and R.

Harcourt, Brace and Company, $2. Reviewed by GEORGE LEWIS Klaus Mehnert was born in Rus- sia in 1906. Eight years later his family moved to Germany, where he has lived ever since. He made trips through the Soviet Union on many occasions. He speaks Rus- sian fluently. He has many friends among the Komsomols (Young Communist League members). In 1982, on the basis of his extensive knowledge, he published a book, in German, called “Youth in Soviet ti sami now translated into Eng- ish. The book is full of facts, written clearly, with great Re taken by the author not to tell lies. The his- ory of the Komsomol is a splendid chapter. How many know that in May, 1917, in Petrograd, young workers were organized into a league of ‘Work and Light,” whose manifesto began with, “It cannot be the business of youth to take part in the struggle against capitalism”? Mehner tells us how the Bolshevik party worked inside this league to head off this budding fascist youth movement. The youth communes, the litera- ture of the Soviet youth, their jedu- cation, their work on the collective farm, their “morality and culture,” facts on all of these are given by Mehnert with great efforts to be truthful. It is surprising what pains Meh- nert takes to tell the truth. Surpris- ing because from €9 very first chap- ter the reader is made aware of Mehnert’s fundamental hostility to the proletarian revolution. Here is a bright young man con- fronted with heroic achievements which he cannot and does not deny. Yet his bright young mind has been so poisoned with the bourgeois poison of idealistic philosophy that he sees in this great mass socialist construction not the forces liber- ated from capitalist oppression but the product of an advertising cam- paign. In the Soviet system, he writes “the production and exploi- tation of emotional tension : are cleverly calculated means of state- craft.” Slogans Are Not Sausages If an advertising scheme is all that is needed, then Hoover’s “Buy Now” campaign would have solved the crisis long ago. The American bourgeoisie is now trying to tell the American workers that the crisis will be ended by putting a blue eagle in every store window. Hit. ler’s publicity machine is grinding out slorans every day like sausages. But slogans are not bares fa a blue eagle in every store window is not a chicken in every pot. The Five Year Plan has nothing in com- mon with the schemes of capitalist witch-doctors+ Mehnert is a bright young man He writes that “it is impossible to be neutral in Russia.” But he thinks that it is possible to be neu- tral anywhere else. In Germany, for example. There, he believes, there is no class struggle. In Ger- many; he believes, “victory can be achieved only if the struggle is fought, not by one class alone, but all healthy and selfless forces among workers, bourgeois and peasants.” Mr. Mehnert says he doesn’t be- lieve in eatchwords like “capitalism” or “socialism.” But he wants “vic- tory” Whose “victory”? The slogan that Mr. Mehnert believes in, of being “neither for nor against Bolshevism, but for Germany” (the emphasis is Mehert’s) has led to the temporary “victory” of Hitler. Mehnert recognizes that capital- ism has been tried and found want- ing. He admits the question of un- employment cannot be solved. Yet he rejects the dictatorship of the Pea It worked in Russia at-he admits. But in Europe we must have, he tells “European solution.” We were once told that Russia is not advanced enough for a pro- letarian revolution. Now Mehnert tells us that Germany is too ad- vanced for the Marxist principles of class struggle. Any argument will do for one who, at the cost of mass hunger and mass murder, still insists on a capitalist fascist “Eu- ropean solution.” WHAT’S ON Thursday Section of Women’s Councils.

Then the watchman re- turned. Beside him a husky fellow with a heavy shock of black hair walked | with determined steps. He must have | been in his late twenties. | “Leonardo!” one of the women said | softly. The sleepy child wailed. | “Sammy, my son,” the big fellow | said, embracing the mother and) child. He turned to the other woman | and kissed her. | “How are you, mother?” he said, and to the third, shaking hands, | “Hello, comrade.” He sat close beside | his wife and mother. Eager for News “What's new in the city?” he asked. “Oh, yes, I got the letter from the I. L. D. about the habeas corpus, and about the cable for my visa to) the Soviet Union. In other words, the American government won't be allowed to part us. Our workers’ fatherland will unite the deported Italian with his Yankee woman and his Yankee son.” Mother Domiano sat looking at her son, nodding her head. Her strongly-built, rather full body made her appear middle-aged, but her face was the face of a woman of thirty- five. When she noticed that the com- rade from the International Labor Defense and the Committeee for the Protection of the Foreign Born Workers was making notes of what Leonardo said, she bent over to him and whispered warningly in her son’s ear, in Italian, “She's very scared,” Comrades Leonardo and Elsie said simultan- eously. The police are always search- ing her house in Boston, because of her son. The family does not get any relief. The government delays the father’s citizenship papers. She is afraid it may be in Leonardo’s way of becoming a citizen. (When a father becomes a citizen, his children under 21 automatically become citizens also. But Leonardo is much more than 21,” “How I Became a Communist” Leonardo is talking. His black eyes are smiling. A few freckles are con- centrated around the sculptured nose and wide forehead. He rally has a dynamic, impressive appearance. He slapped his mother’s shoulder gently. “I’m telling our comrade how I became a Communist,” he said. ‘There are many interesting ques- tions to be asked and answered, but the visiting card says, “Stay only 15 minutes if possible.” Fifteen to Be Deported Fifteen leading comrades of the revolutionary miners union are on the list to be deported, from Pitts- burgh alone, One comrade, Dsimpa- DEPORTED: j the article on the Moscow theatre.

Every one of the comrades has a family. The government does not stop at breaking, smashing, destroying any- thing when it attacks the workers. Comrade Leonardo opens the Daily Worker and says proudly: “There is good work going on in INTERNATIONAL THEATRE | By PASCUAL The struggle for a Revolutionary | theatre embodying the principles of the class struggle is the theme of the International Theatre magazine, number 4 of which can now be ob- tained. Photogrophs of scenes are freely used to illustrate the text. Almost a dozen striking pictures, for ex- ample, are used to supplement an article on the Japanese revolutionary theatre. Some splendid photographs of eight different plays are used for The text is occasionally uneven, but that is because there is so much to be said in one number due to the irregularity of the magazine’s appearance. Anyone interested in the theatre, whether on the bour- geois professional stage, or in a re- volutionary group, will find the ma- gazine unusually stimulating. It presents a forecast of what the Am- erican theatre may develop into, through the strength of the rising revolutionary theatre. Lunacharsky’s article on Stanis- | laysky is well worth any reader’s at- tention. (Anatole Lunacharsky rec- ently appointed ambassador to Spain, is a noted Soviet literary critic). He .takes the occasion of Stanislavsky’s seventieth birthday to trace the influence of this impres- sive figure on the Russian theatre, past and present. A biography of Stanislavsky is to be found in another article. There are essays on the Piscator theatze, the International Repertoire, the Theatre of the Soviet Union and a number. of others.

Comrade Elsie got up quickly. No Work to Be Had “And what about me? I have tramped from place to place, and there is no work, Sammy too, he couldn’t go to anyone, he could just stay on my lap.” ‘As his name was spoken, the baby began to dance about on his mother’s knee, Mother and father, full of youth, charm, and revolutionary en- thusiasm, look proudly at their son. Sammy is nine months old. He Idoks about two years old. He is like a small photograph of his father. When he laughs, not only his dim- ples, but the whole world laughs. Three soldiers walked in, and something came to an end. . . “See that I get the Daily Worker every day,” Leonardo said as he disappeared, surrounded xby the guards, “Undesirable” The Ellis Island launch went back to .New York. Every moment carried the’ three. women and the baby farther away from the place from which Comrade Leonardo, the red sailors, and other revolutionary workers are to be deported. They are “undesirable.” To deport them may terrorize the other active comrades, and the revolutionary masses.

But Mother Domiono looked sorrowfully over the water. Leonardo was her oldest son. There were five more in the family. the youngest six years old. For more than six years she hasn't been able to get her fill of looking at her old- est boy. He was now in one city, now in another. And if ever he did come home to Boston, there were meetings and meetings, books and hooks, and newspapers. ~-Her- hasband was a building trades worker, but for a year there had been no work. There were hopes a child would: grow up. Things would get better. For eight months she had not embraced her Leonardo. In that jail (Allegheny County Jail), the notor- jous prison that held so many.of the | rebellious miners of the Pittsburgh section, she could only stare at him through the bars.

His first revolutionary teacher was his father, though later the old man’s revolutionary ardor cooled. He went to school as far as, the eighth grade, and no further, because he had to go to work. He continued his studies in night school. “He liked to study and read, to know the truth,” his mother said. Sacco and Vanzetti gave him his first: strong urge to join and work in the revolutionary movement—or rather the Daily Worker, which ac- quainted him with Sammo and Van- getti,.
