WHAT WORLD! By Michael Gold : rHIRTY American battleships are anchored off Morro Castle, waiting to bombard the Cuban workers and peasants who have revolted against | 2 \ *the Yankee*Sugar ‘Trust. Hitler is rushing madly into a new great war. f Japan is ready to reopen the war on Ohina, and this time may add its long-threatened drive against our Soviet Union. Ramsay MacDonald and Mussolini have joined hands in trying to align Europe in a four-power alliance against the Soviets. In Latin “America the. trade war between British and American imperialism has 4 broken fortir in a series of suicidal wars of blood between different cat’s- paw nations. And in the labratories new terrible gases are being brewed by the - scientists... Those priests of pure science, we were told again and again by bourgéis philosphers like H. G.

Henti_ Barbusse has come from France to preside at this congress. Ex-servigemen, workers ‘and intellectuals gathered to greet him at the “pier. In-the*evening there were two great mass-mectings, the capitalist ~press reporting attendance at one at 5,000, the other at 6,800. There were overflow meetings of thousands; if Madison Square Garden had been available it would have’ been inadequate. Most; impressive were the delegates from every part of the nation, farmers from the West, miners and longshoremen, and steel and muni- “tion workérg, Negro’ share-croppers and mothers from the Housewives ‘ Counclls;“ahd- christian ministers. * pHERe ‘Was a. feal united front. sabotage this congress, . . .

An Inter- pretation of American Literature since the Civil War, By Granville Hicks. Macmillan, $2.50, Wet he The beginning of the present dec- ade marked a new phase iff the revolutionizing of American litera- ture. Although a small group of writers—gathered around the New Masses—had stoutly defended the Communist position during the. last half of the 1920's, their at- tack against capitalist society struck only a minor chord in American letters. It was at the beginning of the present decade, with the ,col- lapse of the stability of American capitalism, that something like a major movement toward the left began. For the first time in our history a number of outstanding writers followed the trail which had already been blazed by John Dos Passos, Michael Gold, Joseph Free- man and a number of poets and critics of lesser stature. The literary products of this left- ward migration haye, so far, been rather disappointing. Edmund Wil- son seems to have strayed off the leftward path into the swamps of literary Trotskyism. Blinded by his entire baékground, Sherwood Ander son has splashed the mud of petty- bourgeois ideas all over his attempt at proletarian fiction in “Beyond Desire.” Theodore Dreiser tempor- arily abandoned the path of fiction way of economics in his “Tragic America”—with disastrous results. In every instance failure to create rev- olutionary literature has been due to avoidance. of the serious study of Marxism-Leninism together with the absence of dynamic contact with the revolutionary proletariat, or has been due to abstract study of Communist theory without close relationship to the Communist movement, It is entirely because Granville Hicks, one of the foremost literary critics of our time, has grappled with the problems of Marxism and has drawn close to the Communist move- ment, that his book, “The Great Tradition,” is the first sound major production of the leftward tendency which has developed in American culture during the past few years. As the subtitle indicates, “The Great Tradition” is a study of American -| literature from the Civil War to the present day. Equipped with a keen aesthetic sense which is refined and disciplined by a knowledge of the basic principles of Marxism, Hicks does not give us a mere literary his- tory but @ sustained and consistent evaluation of our literature during the risé and decline of capitalism The odher€fice of ‘all of Hicks’ ap- praisals of individual authors is a result of the application of the Marx- ian principles upon which “The Gteat Tradition” is based. It is this groundwork of Marxism which distinguishes this volume from the haphazard and contradictory. judg- ments. of»imressionate criticism. - It is this foundation which enables Hicks to shape the diverse materials of our literature into an ordered whole with- out destroying their individuality. “The’ Great Tradition” challenges comparison with the only other pub+ lished volume which pretends to apply the Marxian approach to Am- erican letters—“The Liberation of American Literature.” Comparison, however, is impossible—the two books are a study in contrast. Whereas Hicks has investigated the work of each outstanding literary figure with considerable ci the vulgar kour- geois “Marxist,” V. F. Calverton, has strung together half-digestéd analyses by bourgeois scholars and fragment- ary excerpts froni the writings of poets and nevelists quoted in volumes on literary and social history, In contrast to Mr. Calverton’s garbled second-hand scholarship, Hicks gives us a number of excellent miniature sketches of American literary genius— pen portraits which in some instances are revaluations of American authors. Whereas our literature is pictured by Mr, Calverton as an actual tug-of- war contest between two metaphy- sical abstractions (the “Colonial Complex” vs. the “Frontier Force”) Hicks makes a brave attem,y to com- prehend the dialectial relationship of each author to the social force of his time. The central theme of Hicks’ book is the development of the main- stream of American literature in the age of industrialism, Aided by Marx- jan guideposts, he is able to chart the ‘course this major tradition and to show its forward direction. But he does not neglect other currents and tendencies in our literary his- tory. He is very sympathetic toward the sincere literary artists who at- tempted to escape from the perplex- ing problems ushered in by industrial capitalism; at the same time he demonstrates the inevitable disinte- gration of escapist literature with the growth of the conflicts of capitalism. He dissects the “genteel tradition” in our letters, showing its class basis and indicating the anemic character of leisure-class literature. He reveals the deterioration of writers like Bret and Twain, who pros- tituted “hele talents to become mere “@ntertainers.” Hicks discovers in the work of John Dos Passos and our new revolution- | to venture along the unfamiliar road- | VW Uasanasacy Lease reat tradition” in American letters—which Hicks detects in Emer- son’s “confidence in the common man,” in Thoreau’s attack upon the “shame and oppressions” of his time, in Whitman's “kinship with workers and farmers,” and in the development of the realistic novel from Howells to Sinclair. “This is the great American literature,” concludes Hicks, in the final page of the book. “The issue is now so cleatly drawn that Mieyatady icilyarus ay CUS Uae Hicks’ “The Great Tradition’’| Is First Sound Major Attempt: at Marxian Literary Criticism) the | tradition of | evasion is almost impossible: on the | one hand lies repudiation of the best | in the American literary past, on the | other the fulfillment of all that was dreamed of and worked for in the for more than the past could ever have hoped. . . .” past and the beginning of struggle | season on Monday. night at the Guild Theatre. But while Hicks’ thesis—that rev. olutionary proletarian literature is | the continuation of the mainstream of American literature—is essentially sound, he does not seem to indicat: sharply enough the qualitative change | in this tradition made by the litera- | ture of the proletariat, Revolutionary | literature is not simply a quantita- tive addition to the best writings of the past; it is a step forward, an ascension to a higher level, This lack of emphasis may or may not account for Hicks’ failure to trace the origins and early development of the new and independent revolution-.| He | ary tradition in our literature. does not mention, for example, the evolving of a proletarian poetry in the crudé songs and verse of the early I. W. W. movement, the gradual emergence of revolutionary verse (by minor poets) in the little magazines, the stirring poetry of the young Giovannitti—or the socialist verse to be found in German-American perio- dicals published in the nineteenth century. He also ignores: completely novels like Frank Harris’ “The Bomb,” a sympathetic description of the Hay- market episode, and Ernest ‘Poole’s “The Harbor,” which deals with @ marine workers’ strike in New York City—although these yolumes are landmarks of historical fiction re- flecting the major battles of the Am- erican proletariat. However, despite these errors of omission and emphasis (and other shortcomings=such as the over- cautious avoidance of Marxian ter- minology; the reflection 6f} Hicks’ earlier fondness for impressionistic criticism; the tinge of a purely “ethical” approach in. certain -ser- tions of the book), “The Great Tradi- tion” isa brave ‘and couraedis document, the forerunner of. many valuable studies of American litera- ture which will aid in the under- mining of bourgeois culture and the building of a socialist culture in ‘the United States, “Road to Life” Now Showing at Philadelphia Theatre PHILADELPHIA. —By popular demand Philkino, 2222 Market.
