MICHAEL PELL illustrations by Philip Wolfe THE STORY.SO FAR: The crew of the 8. S. Utah, deeply impressed by what they witnessed during a brief stop at the Soviet port of Lenin- grad, organize and strike against working on a Sunday, their day off.

He was a fat looking rat, always with a Corona Corona between his teeth. “What's the trouble here, what's going on here,” he called in a hurry, anxious to get back to his passengers, The men all shouted at once, hold- img up their pots. “We'll show you what’s the trouble here!” “Take a look at this!” “Take a smell of this!” “Take a taste of this!” “Is this our Sunday dinner?” de- manded Shorty. “Come on,” threatened Bobby, “t2ll sert, there-was hash ‘this time—hash with boiled spuds—and tapioca pud- ding for dessert! “The first ones in the messroom, the Professor, Blackie and the Tittle Finn,"were already sift- ting and eating, theugh their noses were wrinkled.

The first two dealt with Thomas Van Lear, Mayor of Min- neapolis shortly before the war, and Fred Miller, ice-cream factory sup- erintendent in St. Paul. The fol- Jowing article describes an incident im the life of John Spargo, one of the first Socialist Party leaders to jump on the war band-wagon in 1917. | Vv short in stature, a thick black ribbon holding his pincer-glasses to the lapel of his coat, John Spargo stood on his toes and thundered his condemnation of the capitalist ‘sys- tem. After much bickering with college authorities, we had succeeded in get- ting permission for him to deliver an address under the auspices of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society branch at the University of Minne- sota. Some of us were still dressed in military uniform, for we had rushed from the drill grounds to hear him speak. | He pointed his finger at us. “They're drilling you to use you for shooting workingmen fighting for bread!” he shouted at us, “They're preparing you for cannon fodder in a capitalist war.” The European war was already on, We were ashamed for being in uniform, and at the end of the meeting explained how this came about. He accepted our explanation like a forgiving father. We were thrilled. He was a good speaker, and one of our So- clalist. heroes. “Wait Till Spargo Comes...” | The United States entered into the war.

All about me men and women stood up, cheering and waving their hands. I, too, stood up, forgetting for the while the Governor, Miller, Van Lear, and also began to cheer. Spargo stood on the platform. I} put everything I had into my voice. I stopped when I felt something in my throat give way. The clamor died down. Everyone sat down. Spargo pulled his eye-glasses by the long black ribbon and fixed them on his nose. He was so short, dark and funny looking, they helped him appear dignified. “3 The Big Speech “Comrades,” he shouted. “The President and the Congress of the United States have declared war!” He waved a newspaper with huge headlines, and shouted, “War against the Germans. But they are Germans no longer. They are Huns!” There was applause. It came from the Gov- ernor’s box. Then Spargo gave a de- scription of the “Huns,” which he equalled only in his later books against the Bolsheviks. As he contin- ued shouting against the Huns, members in the audience stirred. Some began walking out, spitting disgustedly in the aisles. A few min- utes later many more rose and start- ed leaving; it became almost a stam- pede. Spargo paused and looked crushed while the auditorium was emptying. He took the glasses off his nose. Trickily the long black ribbon wound itself into a cofl on the lapel of his coat. Spargo stood on tiptoe and shook | THE NEW FILM | Paul Robeson Starred in| “Emperor Jones” At | Rivoli Theatre | “The Emperor Jones” an adaptation of the drama by Eugene O'Neill; di- rected by Dudley Murphy; a John Krimsky and Gifford Cochran pro- duction! presented by United Artisis.

A few days before the meeting the St. Paul press announced that Spargo favored a re- \lentless war against the “Huns.” We | would not believe this, but went on | with feverish preparations for the |mass meeting at which he was to be the main speaker, Farmers came into the city for the meeting; workers poured into the huge auditorium; young men in | white collars came, their faces tense | and white. “Will he tell vs what |to do?” they asked anxiously of the ushers wearing red arm _ bands. “You bet he will.

They were ush- ered by a policeman into the Goy- ernor’s box. Van Lear was on the platform. In the confusion and hysteria of war- time we forgot his treachery. Surely {he would rise to the emergency. Mil- |ler, our Miller, was on the platform, |The city convention had not been held yet. When Spargo, surrounded by com~- rades, came on the platform, 12,000, men and women stood up and roared |@ welcome to this little man. Seated near the front, I could see the Re- publican Governor (shades of Her- bert Hoover) and his ladies in the box. They looked cool and exchanged smiling remarks amidst the roaring applause. The Governor's large mouth was curved cynically. Van Lear was introduced. We cheered again. At last we were all united again against capitalism. “Labor Must Be as One” Clear as a bell Van Lear's voice rose in the auditorium: “Labor in a crisis like this must be as one,” he said. He was applauded. I saw the Governor applaud so I stopped and nudged an old Socialist worker at my side to ask him what the hell the Gov- ernor was applauding for. He didn’t know either. Meanwhile Van Lear continued, harping on the theme of ‘labor being as one, The audience grew restive. He began pausing frequently as if searching for words. He hed never hesitated before. Always smooth, easy flowing words ringing -like a clear bell. Then he plunged into a narra- tion of how the Socialist Party al- ways fought for the oppressed, Bel- gium, he said, was now of the op- pressed, and this was all he said as far as the war was concerned, He ended his speech rather lamely on she theme that labor must be as one, There was a fluttering applaus? as. he bowed. The Governor clapped his hands, but without enthusiasm; his ladies followed. suit. The Ice-Cream Sociali:t Speaks Van Lear's speech cast a_heavi- ness upon the audience. Miller, on being introduced, received no ova- “We must exterminate the Huns!” he yelled shrilly. The Governor and his ladies applauded loudly. A com- pany of militiamen with rifles marched down the center aisle. The Governor halted it with an assur- ing wave of his hand, then resumed his applause. “For War 100 Per Cent!” Spargo, now in a lather, turned to the Governor's box. | “I am for the war one hundred per cent!” he shouted. “But I am still a Socialist!” The Governor stood up, his ladies followed suit, and in the rapidly emptying auditorium they clapped their hands loudly almost under Spargo’s hairy nose. Taking their cut from the Governor, the of- ficers of the militia also applauded. Some of us waited until the bitter end, though the huge auditorium looked like a big empty barn. We stood in a clump, watching a few of those who remained seeking to shake Spargo’s hand. The Governor came to the platform. Towering over Spargo, he congratulated him. They shook hands, Spargo speaking ex- citedly, maybe saying, “I’m still a Socialist.” There was a general shaking of hands. The Governor and Spargo; Spargo and Miller; Van Lear and the Governor, “The bastards ought to be dynamited,” an old Socialist, rank and filer, said vehemently as we wearily tramped out of the audi- torium, All this would seem like something | out of the far past.

It remains competent and that's all. ‘The basic fault with the film is in the original conception. O’Neill’s theory is (and it is the common theory of most of Americas white novelists and some middle class Ne- gro writers who write about Negro life and Negroes) that under certain conditions he will revert to his “Afri- can ancestry”: the fears, the supers-| titions, and the hysteria of the primi- tive ritual. There is no_ scientific basis for such a theory. These myths | are a means which serve as.a cultural | weapon for the continuation of the | Negro as an oppressed minority.
