Systems URING the course of the after- noon, Gunnar and Stanley .had,| another chance to see the difference. The bos’n told the two men to move, some bags of cement which ‘were stowed between decks, and to hav} ‘out the shoring which was piled be-, neath, A group of Russian long- shoremen were lying around on the bags smoking, eating melons, read- ing. It was one of their rest periods, Gunnar had a hell of a time tryin} to make them understand that they’ had to clear out because the bags had to be moved. Finally, when the Russians saw what the “Ameri- kanski_rabotchi” were driving, at, they all laughed and,dug in. Each, one grabbed a bag of cement and stowed it outside, with all kinds of merriment. This was a new one on the two workers from capitalist countries: to see men freely do work which they didn’t have to! The job, which would have taken Gunnar and Stan- ley 40 minutes to do alone, was now done in less than 10 minutes! ~ Stanley passed out American ‘¢ig- arettes to-them, and they gave their. “papyruski” in return, One of the Russians, a sunburnt jolly lad with black curly hair, threw his arms around Stanley and Gunnar. “Mooy rabotchi brati!” (“We workers are brothers.”) Stanley and Gunnar began to savvy. They asked the Kuussians in sign language about working condi- tions, the price of food, women and other things, and the Russian work- ers asked about things in capitalist countries. That they understood each other could be _.spen, from the way they fre- quently burst out laughing together. And it could also be seen when the mate came and ordered the two sail- ors back to work. The freed Rus;; sian wokers hinted with the tips of their boots what them American “tovarischi” (comrades) have to, do with bosses. Human Nature FTER supper, everybody .got dressed to go ashore, filledowith. curiosity. Lag had been to Lenin- grad before and knew where., the club was, so a lot of the fellers went with him. “Look!” called Eddie, pointing to a. passing street car, “they even haye women motormen!” A bunch of workers were wa: for the trolley. “One thing,” 7 marked Lag, “they’re dressed much, better this year than last. And look better fed, too.” The thing which struck Slimjon the streets was that everybody looked as if he had something to do and somewhere to go. Nobody seemed to be loafing, homeless, job- less, or pounding the pavements for a “coffee and.” No beggars weré in in sight, either. ““Geez, most of these houses could stand a painting,” remarked Blackie. Lag informed him that they were. going to riv the old houses down -in- stead of repainting them. Just then, Eddie called: “There! A whole block of new houses. Lock at the big windows?” Something else struck Blackie, “How is it there ain’t no cops around? I ain’t seen one yet!” - All the men laughed. “Getting, homesick, Blackie?” Lag told how the traffic cops were women, here, adding: “But I haven't ng seen any cops for any other purpose than traffic yet.” “What other cops do they need,” demanded Slim. “The government aoe the property; everybody's got a | ob.” “By God!” exclaimed the Profes- sor after a minute. “Come to think of it, what are cops used for any- way?” Slim suggested that he figure it| out for himself. “Well, in the first place, to arrest crooks.” The Professor held up his fingers and counted: “Second, to break up riots.” | “Strikes, did you say?” “No, riots!” “Third, traffic, Fourth,” the Pro- fessor hesitated. “To tip off the bootleggers and tacketeers,” helped Eddie, Here Stanley threw in: “To escort | ‘Queen Marie down Fifth Avenue.” The game became a free-for-all. “Sixth—to chase the hungry look- | ing sailors off South Street. Seventh ~—to take a rake-off from every blind pig in Hoboken. —And every whore on Riverside Drive—that makes eight. Ninth, play around with the wife of the cop on the other beat. —Tenth, to duck out of sight wher- Jever there's a holdup. Eleventh, to beat up the Reds.——” “Geez, they'd have a hell of a time beating up the reds here,” re- marked Blackie. Everybody laughed. “You win, Blackie, pick up the marbles.” Stanley became serious and wanted to know if they were all reds in Russia. “Not yet,” answered Slim, “you | heard what the delegate said about some being so backward. They aren’t “used to working collectively, and | don’t realize yet what the Five-Year Plan means.” “I told you,” crowed Blackie, “you can’t change human nature.” “Is ignorance, **ligion, laziness, human nature? Those are the bad habits acquired under capitalism.” “I don’t care what you say,” in- sisted Blackie, with that self-assured ‘stubbornness common to conceited youngsters, “you can’t change human nature. You said yourself, most of them ain’t satistied——” “I said some of them,” corrected Slim, “the most backward ones. And even they are quickly coming arouhd to the ideas of Socialism. How else can you explain that already over 60 per cent of the farms in the So- viet Union are collectivized, with thousands more joining up every month? How else can you explain the enormous speed at which they're fin- ‘ishing the first Five Year Plan?” But Blackie insisted again, “You can’t change——” Lag announced: “All right, fellers, here’s the joint.” (CONTINUED TOMORROW) ‘The Workers Short-Wave Club wir ‘4 hold its second meeting at 8:30 to- night at 1395 Bristow Street, Apt. 20, the Bronx.

Story of Homeless andVagrantY outh Told in Pamphlet AND WE ARE MILLIONS, by Michael Quin. Published by the John Reed Club of Hollywood, Box 2088, Hollywood, Calif. 20 cents. pint Tae Reviewed by IRVING KREITZBERG “And We Are Millions” is the story of the homeless youth of America as told by themselves. Written by Michael Quin, in a simple but highly moving and dra- matic manner, it is the living epic of millions of boys and young girls forced to roam aimlessly from city to city, hungry and ragged in a land of plenty. It tells of chain gangs and jails, of stinking missions and flop houses, of vagrancy laws and road camps, of disease and prostitution, of degeneracy and death, The pamphlet goes even further, for it also recognizes the political role of the homeless youth. It remem- bers that the Scottsboro boys were jobless youth, and the girls wander- ing and homeless. It recognizes the Significance of this case, but to them it is not only a frame-up to put white and Negro workers against each other, but something that strikes bluntly home, something that might happen to any wandering youth. The illustrations by Luis Arenal fall far below the standard set by the writer. With a world of possibilities of depicting the flesh and blood struggles of the wandering youth, ex- cept for one drawing of a freight car scene, the illustrations are abstract and carelessly done. The role of the homeless youth in the schemes of the fascists and mil- itarists is forcibly brought forward, and through it, like a call to battle, is heard the voice of the Proletariat, marching forward, powerful and mil- itant, to relentlessly crush the sys- tem responsible for this social cess- pool into which millions of our youth have been thrust. Noted Critic Lauds “Daily;” Contributes To Sustaining Fund “I should like to congratulate you and the other members of the steff for the great improve- ment that has been made in the Daily Worker,” writes Granville Hicks, Assistant Professor of Lit- erature at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, to C.

I enclose a contri- bution to the sustaining fund.” Professor Hicks is a nationally- famous literary critic.

The following article by the great literary shock-brigader of the U. S. S. R. first appeared in “Pravda,” central organ of the Communist Patty of the Soviet Union. PART II Out of the ranks of lawbreakers | in 15 years there were salvaged in the colonies and communes of the OGPU thousands of highly qualified workers and more than 100 agronom- ists, engineers, physicians and tech- nicians. In the bourgeois countries such a thing is impossible, There, for relatively trivial in- fringements of the law, considering the size of bourgeois enterprises, per- sons with such talent as, for ex- ample, the writer O, Henry can ab- solutely perish. It is entirely prob- able that had the bourgeois tsar’s government not murdered the revo- lutionary Nikolas Kibalchik, the in- vention of the airplane would have been announced in Russia 20 years ahead of Europe. White Sea Canal there werre drafted thousands of men, dangerous to so- ciety in various ways and all imbued with class antagonism towards the dictatorship of the proletariat and socialist construction generally. In this mass of folk thieves, hooligans and kulaks (the latter being invet- erate proprietors and exploiters of the peasantry) predomjnated. One must remember that the kulaks are really the same parasites which at one time the liberal-populistic and democratic press so ably and so bril- mer democrats yelp and whine, like dogs, over the lost proprietor, that is, over the bitter fate of those very ku- laks and parasites whom they were taught to hate by Glieb Uspenski, Saltikov-Shchedrin, and other hon- est teachers about the truth of life. Hypocrisy of Bourgeois Critics They yelp and whine, these be- yond-the-border democrats, and they lie and blaspheme, merely because they themselves missed the opportu- nity to join the parasites of all cali- bers in the exploitation of the work- er-peasant masses. But, since they did not succeed then, they will never succeed now, for the kulak by this time is learning to become an honest laborer, while they, the emigres, are doomed to die out soon. How does the process of recon- structing the new socially dangerous, but potentially socially useful people on the Baltic-White Sea Canal show itself, and what are the measures employed? The nondescript army of law- breakers, vandals and enemies are told: “It is necessary to connect via canal the Baltic and the White Seas. You must construct a waterway 227 kilometers long, and you will have to work in the woods, in the swamps, tear dow.. <<onite cliffs, change the course of turbulent rivers, and lift to a height of 103 meters. “It will be necessary for you to dig up more than 30 million cubic meters of earth, All this work will have to time. You will receive good food, good raiment, good barracks, and you will have club-quarters and cin- emas. The government does not promise you anything beyond that. Your own work will prove your worth.” Criminals Saw the Light ‘The army of prospective wrestlers with nature, not being of a@ homo- social origin, could not all of one mood. But it so happens that in the OGPU’s correction camps they teach not only reading and writ- ing, but also political wisdom. Man is by nature quick-witted and it is very seldom that stupidity is condi- tioned by one’s physical make-up. More often than not, it is the result of bourgeois class violence. Among the tens of thousands, there were many who at once grasped the importance of such a work for the state, and the physically healthy were eager to exert themselves. The wildly flowing rivers and the swamps of Karelia, her fields and woods cov- ered with huge boulders—here was something to struggle against. There were those who began to see through the whole stupidity of man fighting against man, that it was only a disposition’ developed un- der the conditions of bourgeois liv- ing, and they likewise sensed the stu- Pidity of working for capitalism, a system which only perpetuates poy- erty. There were in this army also saboteurs under a 10-year sentence, One of them, an old man of 60, de- clared at the “If intervention- ists appeared at this minute, I would join them gladly.” In the past this man sol many an intricate tech- nical problem and made for himself quite a name and competence, In his cwn words: “I lived well, with every desire gratified.” Old Man Acquired New Vision ‘This man was to serve a 10-year sentence, but after spending in the camp only two years, in the spring of 1933 he wrote the following in his note-book: “In the Karelian woods, in the barracks of the technical workers, I first learned the meaning of real work and what it means to be an engineer who has behind him the persistent energy of a mass of | Into the building of the Baltic- liantly pilloried.

At my age I cannot philosophize much, but the idea of rehabilitating wayward people by is a and beautiful of the idea, let the two thousand shock-workers who were released in our district long before the expira- tion of their terms testify.” Soviet Enemies Reclaimed As might have been expected, all such heroic toilers were set free long before the expiration of their terms | But until then, for a period of some five hundred days these engineers were moving in the thick of a “so- cially dangerous mass” which knew that they were counter-revolution- MAXIM GORKY aries, they worked unselfishly. This fact in itself could not but arouse wonderment even among the dullards. And when one wonders, one wants to know why. But. this ques- tion was sufficiently answered by those whose conduct seemed puzzling, and also by the fact that although there were only a few “Chekists” there, they managed to cope with a recalcitrant mass of thousands. How did the kulaks work? There was, for example, the “Podlinski” brigade of District One numbering 32 kulaks. The last 10 days of the month of May the brigade attained the record figure of 256 per cent above the required norm of labor on soft soil. It refused to leave the work even when another brigade ap- peared to replace it, and it became necessary to remove it by special or- der from the superintendent. The brigade “Reply to Order Num- ber One” consisted primarily of ku- laks. It worked on the cliffs of Dis- trict No. 6, exceeding its.norm by 130 to 150 per cent. The brigade was commended for its zeal and entered into the camp’s Red Book. 7" sin Socislist Rivalry Th: 2 tens ef such brigades, How did the collective work in the camps affect the inveterate proprie- tor, the kulak. He thought himself the best man in the village, the aris- tocrat among the peasants, as it were. He rot only knew how to ex- ploit someone else’s labor, but he himself was an excellent field worker. After the habit of all robbers, he thought himself smarter and more courageous than his victims. Despis- ing loafers and lazy people, he went by the maxim that poverty was a sign of worthlessness, And now, this selfish and arrogant person of a ku- lak is placed, so as to see that the loafers and loiterers and thieves and good-for-nothings generally are able to work better than himself. Before his very eyes, the former loafers and tramps whom he despised as only a proprietor can despise, are developing into qualified workers, brigaders and organizers. Some have even become his leaders, mainly be- cause they caught on to the tech~ nique of iabor quicker and better than he—the former proprietor and little duke of the village. This could not but strike deep into his soul, arouse his egoism and launch him into a race with the very people whom he had so despised and hated. But there were also in the camp many hundreds who flatly refused to work, declaring, “You may do with us as you like, but work we shall not.” From morning to evening they were lounging in their bunks, soiling and dirtying the premises without even sweeping ‘the floors. They shouted songs, played cards, and en- gaged in brawls. At times, they would run wild from ennui, so they would commence destroying the bunks and breaking the window panes. After such an insurrection some- one of the dreaded commission would make his appearance, His comrades would warn him: “Look, be careful, they may kill you.” “It doesn’t mat- ter,” would be his answer. At the door the comrade from the Extra- ordinary Commission would be greet- ed with cursing and whistling. The rowdies would say to him: “You will not convince us; we won't work!” And here is where that terrible “compulsion” would begin of which the bourgeoisie so meanly and lyingly speaks, Actually the “compulsion” practiced upon people whom bour- geois society has degenerated into anarchists amounted to no more than acquainting them with the truth, the very frightful truth of which these people are the victims. “You will not work then, fellows? ’ Plans to ‘Say Tt) With Music’ Made iby ‘Daily’ Chorus!
