| Demand Death to | Lynchers, Negroes’ ‘IWHAT teh Nn i NEW YORK—The_ Omicron Chap- | 2 A ter of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fra-| WORLD! By Michael Gold Maxwell Bodenheim has written an interesting letter to Edward Newhouse on the matter of Ring Lardner and other writers. Since Newhouse’s column is devoted to cruder matters such as baseball and checkers, I am turning over this space to him. * ° ° (Cahora NEWHOUSE: “I have read your ‘Sports’ columns every day and I like them, particularly the ones concerning the joke of the wrestling trust, the soccer games between Red teams and the recent pugilistic fiasco at Madison Square Garden, but your splurge regarding Ring Lardner and, i incidentally, Sinclair Lewis and Sherwood Anderson, compels me to dis- agree with you. You write that these people ‘uprooted weeds that will be the fertilizer in the growth of a new and healthy plant. ; “The truth is that the writers in question have amassed substantial fortunes—in Lewis’ case probably a million dollars—from their realiza- tion that the American middleclass likes to be smashed in the face, sur- facely, and slapped on the back, in a clever mixture, which enables the participants to say: ‘Well, we've got a lot of imperfections, sure, but down at the bottom we're pretty sound all the time.’ This is an axiom, Comrade Newhouse—middleclass people never make best sellers of books which in any slight way foster ‘the growth of a new and healthy plant.’ “You mention Ring Lardner’s most satirical stories—easy flings at the social shame of a contract bridge game and indifferences to pickets tear-gassed before factories—but in between these satires, Ring Lardner j wrote as much gush, wise-cracks, and journalistic hack-stuff as any other ‘ author on the face of the earth. I have no personal bias in any of these statements, since I hate the system much more than I dislike many of its deluded supporters, but I have discerned a tendency on the part t of genuine radicals to salam to ‘big names’ in literature and handle them with kid gloves, if they show the smallest symptoms of irony, or liberalism, 1 and I am so wry, that, seemingly, you have joined their ranks, “Otherwise, i, I think you’re a fine guy and if you still want to promote that boxing match for the benefit of ‘The Daily Worker,’ let’s get together. I’m over forty, with not much muscle, but I'm willing to knocked out in such a cause any day in the year. “Quite sincerely, “MAXWELL BODENHEIM.” 7 Big are the paragraphs under discussion: « Lardner was steeped in the prejudices of his class te an 1 precluded his achieving more than a negative satirical y out of his problems because his unhappiness was d he had no idea there was a solution. He is to be admires , his influence on the Westbrook Peglers who are useful in a ay and his remarkable honesty. “With ail their fatal limitations, the Ring Lardners, Sinclair Lewises ersons Were inevitable and requisite in the develop- nery attitude in literature and in sport.

(Snickering is a very definite But Lardner’s snickering was haphazard and 5] thing new in his fundamental attitude.) What i now wes that he uprooted weeds which will be / ; ~owth of a new and healthy plant.” : Q A Discordant Note izey part iy just a bit too lyrical for @ sports column, I know, scifie enough. There is no salaaming about it. People like ‘, Anderson and Lewis are woefully inadequate in 1933. Lewis more equate, definitely reactionary. But in their time they struck a dise nt note which had a clearly corrosive effect. They did represent a pres: e force, progressive not in the capitalist sense. Compare them with a x B. Kyne or a Hergesheimer and the point is obvious. Lardner did more than “take easy flings at the social sham of a contract bridge game.” Under the brittle patterns of his “Love Nest” and “Caddy’s Diary” there is bitterness, Lenny element of revolt. He neve> did get any further and I said as much. ae “That thee men “amassed substantial fortunes” matters little. Even the vessibility that they may have been actually dishonest in their “hack wor:” is irrelevant. What remains essential is the objective effect of their work and, in the more important sense, this has been useful. Neither Lardner, nor Anderson, nor Dreiser create the {mpression that “down at bottom we're pretty sound all the time.” Their failure to explain why the middle class or anybody else is not “sound,” their complete failure to indicate a course of struggle against this unsoundness —these are the limitations which subtract so vitally from their signifi- cance for this period. 2 * . Big Names y E'RE not salaaming to big names. If they’re willing to accompany us part of the way, well and good. We welcome them. It would have been insane to reject the support of Anderson and Dreiser in the Kentucky mine struggles or the Presidential campaign, Communists now well enough when to part company. Too often have we been precipitate, ‘ ceataiiel Leibowitz made himself a “big name” in Harlem by his part in the Scottsboro trial but when he attempted to exploit that prestige by stumping for McKee, the Daily Worker was the first to show him up in a front page story and editorials. It is doubtful whether he would ust kid gloves among his grievances. As for Comrade Bodenheim’s cordial offer to be knocked out, turn to jhe sports column on page two. —EDWARD NEWHOUSE.

This has served to remind me of another homeless youth whom I knew in the land of the Soviets. And let the reader de- cide whether Boris’ story could have its sequence in present day America, Begging, stealing, riding the rails from Kharkov to Moscow, back to Odessa, on to Sukhum, a dirtior, tougher urchin it would have been hard to find in all Ukraine. Boris’ father had died during the famine years. Life in the village with his mother and smaller brothers had proved dull, drudging. So one night the freight carried a snub-nosed, dark-skinned creature whose black eyes already were keeping a sharp watch-out; and this was the last his village saw of Boris. That is, unti]— but this is getting ahead of our story. Snoring comfortably, huddled in the corner of a Kharkov station some months later, Boris was roused by a rough shove from his comrades. “Cheese it!” Too late. Here he was, cornered, with a dozen others. No cops swinging billies, or pulling guns, “You hooligans!” but a couple of militiamen standing near the entrance, and a group of fellows and two girls, all near the age of An Unusual Invitation Their leader stepped forward. “Now comrades, don’t be alarmed. A short time ago we were on the road, the about our Commune, and put you a Proposition. Listen to us. Afterwards, you're free to go or do as you plesse.” ‘True enough, after their talk, they made off, saying, “At eight in the morning, we'll be back. Those of you who want, be ready to go along with us.” Boris never knew what it was that decided him: “Take it or leave it; take it or leave it?” Maybe he was tired of beating his way, during the cold winter; maybe it was the glitter of those machines they told about, and the promise that he could run one. Maybe it was the news that a pal of his, Paul Gorman, was living there. He'd give it the once-over, and if he didn’t like it, as soon as spring came, he’d make off. Once more hit the road. The Commane Greets Boris He would never forget the solemn greeting his little troupe received at the Commune. The band, speeches, his first dash under a shower, and the haircut and fresh clothes they gave him, right off. After breakfast, the trip through the school machine shop.

That was two years — two years and @ month, to be exact, before last November Seventh, when I first saw Boris. Past the reviewing stand in Kharkov's Red Square marched the locomotives workers 25,000, cheering, banners flying, celebrating the 15th boys and the girls’ black pleated skirts, shone light blue wool Jerseys. Jerseys won as premiums for first- ah records in school and Commune ife. “Who are they?” I asked my com- panions, “Former bezpriizorni” (home- dren from the Commune in the name of Dzerzhinsky.” Eehind them marched another contingent of re- claimed youth, from the Commune named after Gorky.

Its two- story, grey-stone dormitories, with their large windows looking out over Tolling, cultivated fields, had been built in 1927. Kharkov workers in the G. P, U. (State Intelligence Service), on the death of their lead- er, Dzerzhinsky, decided to construct their Commune in his memory. Through their contributions and ef- the Commune built up.

Organizing themselves into groups of twenty-five, each with their chosen commander, they allocate their various activities among them- selves. The Commanders make up the Commune Council, or Soviet. They are responsible to their electors, reporting. to them regularly, and get- ting a rousing check-up when things go slow. Every evening the Com- mune has a half-hour meeting, where questions are thrashed out. If meals are not to the youths’ liking, if some teacher teaches poorly, then the Communards expect the committees on living conditions or curriculum to | get busy.
