Utah, after the boat has stopped at Copenhagen? Welsingfors, and Leningrad, U.S.S.R., Te~ turn to their boat, deeply impressed by what they have seen in the Soviet port, as contrasted with the ports in the other countries. So, when they are awakened at 4:30 one morning and have to wait around for an hour before beginning work; and when they are ordered to work on Sunday, their day off, they refuse, In this move their leader is Slim, & member of the Marine Workers Industrial Union. You read how the seamen, after organizing, for the strike, held their ranks solid- ly and stood for their demands before the threats of the Captain. You also read how they won-their demands and how Pitts had, unknown to Slim and the others, joined up with the M. W. I. U. at Leningrad. At @ meeting of the ship's. group, Slim and Pitts, a strike is planned. Now read on: INSTALLMENT 32 Pitts on the Job. .

His ear is turned to Pitts, while. his eye is peeled on the ladder leading, een from the shaft alley. “We, the undersigned Figiteate of the crew of 8.8. Utah, having, yisit- ed one of the Soviet ports, have seen and convinced ourselves that the So- viet Union is a workers’ country, where there is no unemployment, starvation, or inequality based! on race, creed, sex, or nationality. “We are convinced that the Soviet workers are busily engaged building up socialism in ‘thir country; they are doing this of their own free will and with enthusiasin; we are. con- vinced that these, our comiades of the Soviet Union, are a ‘peaceable nation with no hostile intentions to- wards any other land. “f “Therefore, we will not tolepilte any attempt on the part of any ‘capital- ist nation or groups of nations to) attack these comrades. We. pledge that in the event of any act of war against the Soviet Union, no, matter what the pretext, we will imme- diately strike, and call upon our fellow marine workers to do likewise, “If conscripted into the arty or navy, we will not use those weapons against our Russian brothers, | but against our real enemies, the capital- ists and their lackeys. : “We refuse to transport ammuni- tion. to ke used against the ofqviet Union. “We refuse to transport trogps or wer materials to help suppart, Pal 0- viet Union.” | “We call. upon all other ~sailors, seamen, engineers, Officers, wireless operators, as well as the rivermen, tuzboat men and longshoremen’ to stand by us in this our firm pledge recolution.” ti “Immm!

The second assistant kept duiet_a minute and then asked: “Tell‘me, old man. who learnt you to talk. like that? And who wrote this thing~up?” “tT did.” “You? Where the devil gid you learn to write lke that?” “Well, to tell the truth, I got the idea off a German sailor I met in Leningrad. He told me how commit- tees from the International Seamen's Club there went around to all ships and got the crews to sign these reso- lutions. I thought the thing over, and decided we should do the same. Don’t you agree with this?” “Yeah, I’m with it alright, but——” Pitts waited for the second assis- tant to spit it out. “Who's all gonna see this thing?” “Oh, that’s just among us in the eve, And when all the signatures are filled in, I'm gonna send it to the comrades in the Leningrad In- terclub.” “Yeah, and what will they do? Paste it up on the wall bulletin for every johnny to see? Remember, I'm in the Naval Reserves!” “By signing this you join the ranks of the class-conscious workers. We iow when to talk and with whom.” The second assistant wasn’t con- vinced. “You gonna ask the first assistant to sign too?” “No, We consider him a _hope- less Company man, and don’t trust him.” “How about the Chief?” “We've got reason to believe he’s on the level. He will sign too. But the Eskimo is out—we don’t trust him either.” The second assistant agreed with these decisions, “How about that other character?” he grinned. Pitts looked questioningly. “The god damned,” explained the other. They both laughed. This was the nickname for Slim down below, “Yes, he’s with us, alright.” ‘The second assistant took a pencil and signed. Pitts carefully folded the paper and stuck it away in an inside shirt pocket, wondering how to make the next step. Meanwhile the second assistant looked at the clock and concluded: “Well I give you fellows credit. You're trying to do something anyway.” He threw his waste away and started to go. “Sait just a minute, Second.” The officer turned, “not this time. But—when could we meet? — I've something special to talk with you about.” “Well, if you’d have asked me this morning, I’d have proposed Weevil’s. But damn it, we’re not tying up, now.” Pitts felt the ship rock under his feet. “Why not? How come?” “The Old Man got a wire to proceed immediately to New York.” Pitts made a face. “God damn it!” “That's what I say” agreed the other. “I had such a pretty date with a nifty girl there...” (Continued Tomorrow) Workers School Head Calls for Aid to Harlem School .

Hallgren. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. $2.50. Mauritz A. Hallgren is perhaps the best journalist on “The Nation,” With an eye well-peeled for observing facts, the march of the crisis inevitably would goad him to ask: Where is it all leading? As a result, our liberal reporter begins to dabble with-—revo- lution, He steps out of the pages of “The Nation,” rubs elbows with hun- gry masses, sniffs around the Rand School, scratches over the remains of Technocracy, and stands a little be- wildered before the Communist Party. Hallgren’s book is a rambling sort of affair, filled helter-skelter with a maze of facts to prove: that hunger grips the toiling population; that cap- italism is in very great difficulty; that the growing discontent, mainly of the petty-bourgeoisie, is forcing a decision on a way out. He concludes that present-day capi- talism is done for. And around his rambling recitation he spins theories on how the revolution is to be ac- complished, if at all. Petty Bourgeois to the Last Drop ‘What bothers this liberal recruit to boudoir discussions of revolution is the fact that the revolution is not already accomplished. The fact that the American Soviet doesn’t rule makes him doubt if it ever will. Why hasn’t the revolution come about af- ter more than four years of crisis? Hallgren’s answer is that there is no insurrectionary party skilled in conspiracy and military strategy, that knew the art of making a coup d’ etat. A petty-bourgeois to the last drop in his fountain pen, he has the pro- foundest contempt for the revolution- ary ability and creative force of the American proletariat in general. Toys With Insurrection Marveling at his own glib toying with insurrection, he concludes that only the petty-bourgeois and the in- tellectuals have shown revolutionary development. “And it is among these people (the unemployed intellectuals and the declassed, petty-bourgeoisie),” he writes, “you really know that there have been sowed the most fruitful seeds of revolt.” Revolutions, he says, are never popular uprisings. It is a conspira- tive action, a putch, a coup d’ etat, a Bakuninist plot which seizes the ex- cuse of mass discontent to overwhelm the ruling class, “History shows, moreover,” he writes, “that the classic revolutions of Europe have been in- surrections rather than popular up- risings.” Blind to Historical Facts Then all the great students and leaders of revolution were wrong. Marx, Engels and Lenin, who never had the benefit of the revolutionary training afforded by “The Nation” or Harold Laski, viewed the matter in exactly the opposite way. The so- called classical revolutions of Europe are the French Revolution of 1793, the Paris Commune of 1871, and the Russian Revolution of 1917, Each one was a popular uprising in every sense of the word, leading to an in- surrectionary overthrow of the ruling class, involving the support of the toiling population. But what does the world’s revolu- tionary experience matter when you are out to prove your point? Reveals Own Confusion Setting out to discuss the role of the state, the development of capi- talism, and the relation of the vari- ous classes in capitalist society, Hall- gren succeeds in proving how con- fused even the best-intentioned petty- bourgeois can be. For example, of the typical modern proletariat in America, the automo- bile workers of Detroit, Hallgren says: “They are skilled artisans whom Marx and Engels lumped together with the small manufacturers, the shop keeper, and other members of the lower mid- die class.” To call Ford, Chrysler and General Motors workers ‘skilled artisans” lumped with the small manufacturers and shop keepers is brilliant testimony to the lack of un- derstanding of the class forces in America and particularly ignorance of} 12:05 the most elementary lessons of Marx- ism. “Appendages of the machine” is Marx’s description and it fits per- fectly the belt proletariat. After shopping around for forces to make the revolution, Hallgren con- eludes: “The only hope lies with the Communists.” Distorted Idea of Communist Party But god save us from our friends. His choice lies in his distorted idea of the Communist Party as the party of insurrectionary conspiracy. There is no doubt that all revolutionary hope lies with the Communist Party, but not for the reasons given by the Hallgrens, The Open Letter of the Communist Party recently published tells how the revolutionary forces will be or- ganized, through sinking the party in the decisive strata of the workers in the basic industries, not for a coup d'etat, but for a mass revolutionary struggle which will lead to the over- throw of capitalism when the revo- lutionary situation is matured. Winds Up in Pessimism In final desperation, like a true petty-bourgeois, who tomorrow is just as likely to fling himself into the ranks of the Fascists (as his associate on “The Nation,” Anderson, is already doing), Hallgren winds up in the swamp of pessimism. “If no party is organized or pre- pared for a coup d’ etat (and none is today), capitalism will be left free to try other ways of saving itself when Fascism or state absolutism fails it, Or else, as the Spenglerians seem to believe, the whole machine age may collapse. For while the capi- talist crisis is inevitable, the prole- tarian revolution is not.” Only what is here, the capitalist crisis, is inevitable to Hallgren. But the proletarian revolution which does not cross the historical stage in the form of a drama leading to the last act, because it temporarily retreats, zig-zags, but ever advances, is natu- rally not inevitable to one who sees the seeds of revolt sprouting only in the brains of the petty bourgeoisie. Workers School Makes Changes in Political Economy Course NEW YORK. — The Workers School, which is now taking regis- tration for the Fall Term, has made some important changes in its curriculum with a view to giving the students a more thorough train- ing. One of the most important changes has been made in the courses in Political Economy, which have been rearranged to cover the subject in three terms of three months each, covering the ground from the meaning of a commodity and the creation of surplus value through the Marxian Theory of Crisis, dnd the present General Crisis of Capitalism. A special fea- ture is the fact that throughout the entire course a continual com- parison is made between the cap- italist economy and the Socialist economy now being built in the Soviet Union. Several new and competent in- structors have been added to the Economics Department, and Com- rade Harry Gannes, who has been out of the school for the past two years, has returned to teach the third term of the course in Political Economy. Students who wish to take ad- vantage of this opportunity to geta thorough grounding in Marxian Economics should register imme- diately at the Workers School of- fice, Room 301, 35 East 12th St., as the number. of students per- mitted in each class is limited. Guild String Quartet To Perform Saturday | For ‘Daily’ Benefit NEW YORK.—What promises to be the greatest concert and dance ever arranged by any group for the Daily Worker will take place Sat- urday evening, Sept, 23, at the Com- munity Church Hall, 550 W. 110th st.

Vet Takes Crack at “Golden Hour” Appeal for Funds By JOHN KRYZAK NEW YORK—Yesterday I received some junk from Charlie Coughlin about his “Shrine of the Little Flower.” I immediately answered, telling him how I saw three young soldiers on one hill near St. Jwin, France, One with half of his head blown off by a shrapnel, holding a rosary in his hand; another with a bullet hole on his right side, holding a small prayer book; the third where @ shrapnel went right through his body, holding a rosary. I asked him where God was while they were praying. I also told him about my wife’s father, who spent 40 years in one coal mine slaving like a mule. This was in the Washington mine at Plymouth, Pa, He was and is very religious. Attended church with his wife every Sunday and holiday, He always was very liberal in giving to the collection box and extra liberal in donating to special church af- fairs, At the present time they are build- ing a grotto in the church ground or graveyard, and he is begging his children to donate, as hundreds there are doing, which is nothing but @ money-making racket. And since this crisis and the bunk the priests told them about how good a man Roosevelt is, they are going hungry and donating their last pennies. Not only donating, but attending church in greater herds than ever before. Several years ago this man was caught in black damp gas in the mine and is an invalid today. He has an altar at home, where he prays morning, noon and night. I asked Coughlin, if there is a God why | should this hard-working, religious man suffer like he is. Where is that God. Is he on a vacation? I told him that religion was noth- ing but opium to keep the people down. I also told him that if he gives us true facts over the radio, during his “Golden Hour,” why not give us the right way out of this crisis? ‘ TONIGHT’S PROGRAMS WEAF—660 Ke. 1:00 FP.

This novel, written by one of | the first proletarian authors of Eu- rope (born 1869, Nexo’s early life was spent as a city proletarian; a left Social Democrat, he rallied to} the support of Communism after the Russian Revolution), deals with the Danish peasantry during the| period of the imperialist war. With splendid objective artistry Nexo traces the development of these people during this epoch of swift social change. The central character of the story, Jens Vorup, stands for the new farmer of the new generation. Ebbe Fisker, his father-in-law, typifies the older generation of peasants, who clung to the soil and the old methods of life, who were devout followers of Grundtvig, the religious peasant leader of the north, a sort of Luther of the 19th century, who initiated widespread educational reforms for the peas- antry of Denmark, Typical of Danish Peasantry Jens represents the new bourgeois farmer who is interested not in tradition, but in new money crops. Affected by the fall in the prices of farm products before the war and deprived of a share in the prosits which the capitalists of Denmark reap as a neutral nation, Jens becomes involved in a middle- class agrarian protest movement which resembles the earlier Granger movement in this country. Jens “cherished honest resentment against the clique in Copenhagen. If they wouldn’t let him share with them in the good things of life, then he was not against helping to knock those good things out of their hands.” “But an opposition movement that uitimately must look for support from the lower class was no good”—and Jens soon abandoned the “Defense League” when poportunity enables him to share in the war profits. He launches into reckless speculation and soon becomes a rural financier. But he is caught in the economic backwash which follows the war and is stripped of wealth and social position, Although Jens and his father-in-law typify the Danish peasantry, they possess the indi- viduality of outstanding characters in world literature, Valuable les- sons regarding the technique of the social novel may be learned from “In God's Land.” Depiction of An Entire Society As a proletarian novelist, Nexo’s understanding of social life is not confined to a single class. “In God's Land” is an objective depic- tion of an entire society, It deals not only with the middle class farm- er, but with the poor peasants and the farm laborer, the domestic ser- vant and the proletariat. Thus one listens to the rumblings of the workers’ movement, which run like an ominous undercurrent through the novel. Another character type in the novel is old Ebbe’s son, Niels, the sincere radical intellectual. Schooled in the religious Grundtvigian tradi- tion, Niels is troubled with “ques- tions at which the teachers balked.” | He returns from school a skeptic and a “freethinker.” When the au- thorities attempt to oust him from his teaching position for his athe- ism, the Grundtvigians rally round him. But when he begins expound- ing Socialism—that is a different thing. He is quickly expelled by the same staunch defenders of re- ligious freedom. Niels agitates among the laborers and takes UP: s. a courageous attitude | The LITTLE GUILD — presents — Concert and Dance — PROGRAM — 8, The Mil...

Splendid Study of Danish Peasants During the Imperialist War Period By ALAN CALMER. \lutionary crisis which swept through ay against the war spirit don’t care to be reckoned among the guild of present-day writers, who sit in a crematorium ornamenting urns that hold the ashes of the dead,” he tells his proletarian wife. “I don’t belong with the rear- | guard. I'd rather be like the old bards who marched in the van, with their song rousing the war- riors to battle.” Unfortunately, however, the character of Niels is dropped at an important historical | turning-point—the Russian Revolu- tion and the period of actual revo- Europe after the war. As a matter of fact, the conclu- sion of the volume as a whole is left in midair. In all likelihood this | is not the end of the story of the} people of Oster-Vester, but is in- tended simply as the first volume of another huge Nexo epic, like the author’s four-volume master- piece of the Danish labor move- ment, “Pelle the Conqueror,” and his three-volume study of a domes- tic servant, “Ditte”—both of which may be read in English rtanslations. Music Chicago Opera Company to Present “Tannhauser” at Hippodrome Tonight This week’s repertoire of the Chi- cago Opera Company, at the "New York Hippodrome, comprises a varied list of operas, with four composers represented—Wagner, Verdi, Ponchi- elli and Puccini.

Barnett, director of “The Patriots,” the new Soviet talkie coming to the-Acme Theatre on Thursday, has brought in- | to interplay mass and individual in a splendid symphonic ensemble in which the most delicate lyrica} nu- ances of the human character pene- trate the broad, surging collective. Significant, too,—a quality. unusual in Soviet cinematograph—is the deft- ness with which Barnett hag; suc- ceeded in commingling humor: and pathos in this great drama of war and revolution. With this film, “Tha Patriots,” Barnett, its director and co- scenarist, hes teken his place among the foremost masters of the Soviet cinema.
