id ———— ——> —, — iOT By Joseph Freeman——— ETURNING from a three months’ tour of the United States, lecturing and organizing, I find that a magagine called The Modern Monthly B} been publishing a series of attacks on revolutionary arts and letters “ih the Soviet Union and this country. >; During the summer this organ of professional Communist-baiters egoniained a piece entitled “Artists in Uniform.” It consisted of the usual guard and menshevik charges about the alleged reign of terror ained by the Kremlin in the r n of literature and art. one analyzed “Artists in Uniform,” it became obvious that the ** “author had not the slightest interest in finding out the truth about revo- ary arts and letters, He was interested in grinding ® political axe n airing personal spleen remarkable even in the annals of bohemian + oeliterary squabbles. According to “Artists in Uniform,” Michael Gold and myself have been S80 corrupted by the Kremlin, that we have not written anything worth weading for the past ten years. “I do not know in what remote idyllic lands the author of “Artists in Uniform” has been living for the past ten years. But it is a matter of easily ascertainable record that Michael Gold and I have both publshed *t¥host of our work in the past decade, Thousands of people in America and “dther countries have read with pleasure Mike’s “Jews Without Money,” , Which appeared three years ago, And it was during the past ten years that .,1 published “Dollar Diplomacy” and “Voices of October” in collaboration, and “The Soviet Worker” on my own account. All three of these books xeceived good notices here and abroad, and have been read by many people. During the past ten years I have also published much prose and += Werse in magazines, ® Indeed, the Modern Monthly is the last publicaffon in the world to “complain that I have written nothing worth reading in the past ten “Years. To judge from some of the articles published by gentlomen con- fected with this magazine, they have not only found my pieces published during the past ten years worth reading but even worth remembering. 4 .jittle too well, one might say. 1 jolla eget all this is childish nonsense unworthy of serious discussion. I would have ignored it but for another article which appeared in the November Modern Monthly entitled “Stalin's Literary Inquisition.” This piece, too, is full of misinformation and personal malice. But it is worth touching on one or two of its wild fantasies because it may be possible through them to illuminate some problems of genera] interest. The author—perhaps I should say inventor—of “Stalin's Literary In- estuisition,” having said a few months ago that I have written nothing in the past ten years worth reading, suddenly finds it worth his while to read my first chapter in Voices of October, which appeared in 1930, How- ever, in justice to our anti-Communist scribe, I must say that he does his -best to be consistent. He maintains that Voices of October is a terrible book and my chapter a terrible chapter. What is of general interest, since a be speaks in the name of pure and lofty political ideals, is the and method he employs to prove his thesis. Here is how the Modern Menthly’s expert on Soviet literature characterizes Voices of Octeder: 1 “The book of Joseph Freeman, Joshua Kunitz and Louis Lozowick, ~ Voices of October, was published in 1930, at the very height of the Literary Inquisition, when the authentic voices of October were practically reduced to a death-rattle. How much of the real truth was to be found in its suave pages of documentary optimism—and in general what trust can be , placed by critical minds in the United Square re-writes of official dope st from Moscow, which are passed out as first-hand information about life ‘ocin the Soviet Union—may be seen in the fact that the regime these authors describe as a paradise of proletarian creative life, is now, since the regime ended, described by the officials themselves as a veritable death- “Valley desert.” The author and inventor of “Stalin's Literary Inquisition” is to be DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDN |Strachey Lecture on | “Culture and Fascism” Announced by J.R.

If a good style is one in which an author says most in the least. space, our Scribe has it. In two sentences he has packed in a truly remarkable number of lies. ‘Take, for example, that subordinate clause in which our Scrbe charges the three authors of Voices of October with sitting in Union Square and re-writing “official dope from Moscow” which is “passed out as first- ‘iand information about life in the Soviet Union.” Surely even a rabid ‘partisan could have found out the simple facts of the case. * . TL AA ER j itd Joshua Kunitz and Louis Lozowick speak, read and write Russian fluently. They have made many visits to the Soviet Union. They have ~_otvayelled extensively from Moscow to Siberia. They have worked in the ooditerary and artistic circles of the U.S.S.R. They have a wide personal | ‘. acquaintance among Soviet writers and artists, ranging from the ex- "° treme left to the extreme right. Much of the material they used in Voices ‘of October was gathered in the Soviet Union. In knowledge of the Russian language, or of Soviet art and literature, “I can in no way compare with Kunitz and Lozowick. Yet the fact re- “ mains that I have lived and worked and travelled in the Soviet Union, I have been in contact with Soviet workers, peasants and intellectuals. seo I learned the language and spent some ten months gathering the material »that went into my chapters in Voices of October. As you can readily imagine, Union Square is not as good a place from “ hich to study Soviet life as Croton-on-the-Hudson or Martha’s Vine- | ~°~vyard, But the fact remains that I learned about Soviet literature, art, the °°""cinema ahd the theatre from direct personal contact in the Soviet Union with some of the best men in Soviet arts and letters, These men were extremely generous in helping me to gather material, and, what was more | -.artin | jose-dmportant, in grasping the living reality. I had many illuminating con- | versations with members of the proletarian group around Na Postu, like | saemSerge Dinamov and Heinz Kogan; with leaders of the Futurist group, like Mayakovsky, Ossip Brick and Asscyev; with leaders of the film world, such as Serge Einsenstein, and of the theatrical world, such as Meyerbold. I knew many fellow-travellers, and I even talked with and learned from that “victim” of “Stalin's Literary Inquisition,” the critic-editor Vyache- slay Polonsky. Nor did I confine my investigations to Moscow. I talked with writers and artists in the Caucasus, in the Ukraine, in the central | # 's of the R.S.F.S.R., in Leningrad. ee In view of these facts, to say that Kunitz, Lozowick and I re-write in * “Union Sq. “offictal dope from Moscow” which is “passed out as first-hand information about life in the Soviet Union,” is to sink to the lowest depths either of intellectual and moral irresponsibility, or of charlatanism. And that is a great pity. For the author of these preposterous charges is by nature an honest and intelligent man. It is his misfortune that in slandering the Soviet Union he can think of nothing better than false- = 9doods which can be exposed in the light of easily-verified facts. He is no «+ pe@xception to the rule that anyone who attacks the Soviet Union is com- on sPlelled to resort to lies. .« # Tomorrow I shall take up another phase of the Modern Monthly’s attack on revolutionary arts and letters.

A sympathetic club let's us use their headquarters for the barbers to work on Sunday. the youngest boy was so distressed at the thought of separation from his big brother who had been father, brother and pal to him for many years that mother Wright consented. They both left Chattanooga in com- pany, it will be remembered, with Eu- gene Williams and Heywood Patter- son, “I knew,” Mrs. Wright told me more than once. “That our boys in the south are always in danger and I warned them to be careful. Andrew answered “Mother, you know we have never done anything that would get us into trouble and you know we won't start now. We are going to look for work so that you and little sister will have more to eat. Just wish us luck.” “That was all. The next day the news of their arrest was brought to me. I think I fainted. For several days I was half crazy with fear and grief. Then the International Labor Defense came to our rescue and from that day on I had hope and courage.” Ada Wright, as well as the mothers of Eugene Williams and Ozie Powell, traveled to New York in order to put their story before the New York work- ers. They have also traveled in many other parts of the country. Mrs. | Williams and Mrs, Wright only re- | country. | ‘These three mothers were far from fields and in white peoples’ kitchens. | They were weakened also from insuf- | ficient food, Traveling from city to | city, meeting strange people, appear- jing at one meeting after the other, | Was not easy for them. But the work and efforts of Ada | Wright stands forth a monument of | courageous motherhood for all time. I never saw a tear in the eyes of | this brave woman. “I will fight” she said, “I don’t care what happens to me, The LL.D, has shown me the | way. Whether my boys live or die | I am in this fight for the rights of | my people till death,” Suffering from various organic weaknesses, Ada Wright yet found the strength to go from meeting to | meeting from one city to another and | finally crossed the ocean accompanied by J, Louis Engdahl, then national secretary of the LL.D. | Engdahl never returned from that trip. “Engdahl was ill in Europe,” Mrs. Wright said, upon her return to the U. 8. “He never stopped working. He | was always writing or speaking. Once when I told him he must rest a little or he would get sick, he said ‘No Ada, we can’t do it. The boys are in danger. We must go on with every ounce of energy.” He is dead now. I shall never forget his comradeship and his cour- age. The American workers must never forget him. He gave his life for the nine Scottsboro boys.” Ada Wright is waiting for her sons. The other Scottsboro mothers are waiting for their boys. We must not fail them. New York workers must pack Irving Plaza, Nov. 22 in tribute to Engdahl and to pledge anew, the struggle for the freedom of the Scottsboro boys, and the defense of the whole working class. PORTRAIT (By a Worker FLINT CITY JAIL, Flint, Mich.—This morning at 4 a. m. the Flint police delivered a rat who had been scabbing at the Chevrolet Motor Car Cos plant during the strike, This rat had indulged in a wild escapade which landed him in jail. When first admitted into the Flint Jalil bull pen, he remarked his thate- a brother-in-law would “get” copper who dared arrest him. He is a man about 50 years old and claims 17 years residence in Flint. He made an open confession no one would hire him before, but now that this area had been affected by a strike called by the Mechanics’ Educational So-. ciety, the Chevrolet people hired him to scab on the union. The old boy is quite vehement in his denunciation of the tool and die makers and especially their tactics and application of the “silent” treat- ment. “They won't speak to me at all” is the usual allusion to the boys at the benches. While he thus expostulated and lamented, the men in jail asked him if he didn’t know that such were the usual woes of a scab or rat. He claims he had to scab because he has a family, as if other strikers were rais- ing only dogs. This scab proudly proclaims his name is Samuel Umpstead, 417 Chase St., Flint, Mich., and he hails from Williamstown, Pa. The inmates of this jail would not stoop so low as to OF A RAT Correspondent.) talk to this rat, and he is a lonely, isolated person. His rate, he says, is 85c per hour, and the working day consists of 742 hours, 5 days per week. According to his own statement this scabby con- cern runs three shifts. Now if we go into figures we find that 5 times 744 makes 372 and 3714 hrs. times .85 equals $31.87. So, thanks to the Smith-Griffin gang the tool and die makers must now work on an average of about $130 per month, The writer used to make that amount in one week at the Detroit job shops, steady, | not merely for two or three months | as is now prevalent. A comparison of pre-N.R.A. earnings in Detroit job shops of representative tool and die makers of the autocraft with the present Roosevelt New Deal, is ap- proximately as follows: Trade (Before N.R.A.) Tool and Die Makers (Beney.) $500 per month. Roosevelt “New Deal” $130 per month.

The silent version of “The White Sister,” dealing with the Catholic Church, its nuns and their struggles with Love, Marriage, and Sex, had earned all the money there was to earn with such a tale. Besides, racketeers, high society, prohibition, and sex brought in surer returns. But importing actresses is an ex- pensixe proposition. Especially those with reputations. Dorothea Wieck, transformed into a Bernhardt of the cinema by high pressure publicity in connection with “Maedchen in Uni- form,” is noted for her “delicately restrained acting” in that much over- rated film. Thus you see the reason for dusting off the skeleton. In its way, “Cradle Song” is com- petent enough. It is a well-construct- ed and highly polished celluloid tear- gas bomb. The story of life in a Spanish convent is as synthetic as the pseudo Spanish “cottages” of movie magnates and stars. However, a competent technical job and what is commonly accepted as good acting | is nothing to get excited about. It’s the least one can expect from the | well-equipped Hollywood studios and} high-salaried “stars.” | M. G.

HYDE BOSTON.—It is the general im- pression of those in Boston who have seen it that the Marx-Lenin Exhibi- tlon that is being shown in connec- jtion with a lecture tour by H. W. | Wicks is one of the most effective things that has been done in this country for a long time. I ne a | dwell here upon the lectures. A tc |by Wicks, speaking on Marxism- Leninism is in itself an event that | will certainly meet with response everywhere he is known—and that |includes the whole country. The exhibition itself is remarkable for the wealth of material that has |been gathered from many countries. What strikes me as one of the strong- est features of the exhibition is that each one of the twenty panels dis- played here is a separate story in it- self, so that if one wants some guide te any particular event in the de- velopment of the revolutionary move- ment, he can do so by studying the panel and reading in conection the! with the literature quoted. | THE NEW FILM | By IRVING LERNER. CRADLE SONG, a screen drama adapted by Marc Connelly from the play by G. M. Martinez Sierra, directed by Mitchell Leisen and presented by Paramount Pictures at the Paramount Theatre with the following cast: Dorothea Wieck, Louise Dresser, Sir Guy Standing, Evelyn Venable, and Kent Taylor. . If you're the kind of person who sheds mechanical tears at most of the Hollywood synthetic “soul stirring dramas”—in movie language, “tear jerkers,”— you'll certainly saturate several handkerchiefs watching Dor- othea Wieck (Made in Nazi-land) ex- hibit some of the oiliest glycerine tears that have come out of Holly- wood in @ decade. As a matter of fact, Paramount proudly announces (in its publicity sent out to theatre Much interest was displayed by | those who saw the exhibition in the | facsimilies of the original writings of Marx, Engels and Lenin. The repro- |ductions of the book covers of first editions of the principal works of Marx and Engels also attracted much | attention. | But what impressed me most was | the way in which there runs through the whole exhibition the importance |that the theoretical founders and leaders of the revolutionary move- ment attached to the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. If ever there was an array of facts that completely re- pudiate the social-democratic theories of “using the capitalist state in the interests of the working class revolu- tion” it is this exhibition. Of greatest interest to me was the portrayal of the Paris Commune and the two panels (Numbers 8 and 9) dealing with that world-shaking event. One quotation appearing in these panels is invaluable and shows how Marx, during the stormy days of the Comune, wrote on April 12, 1871, to his friend, Kugelman, saying: “You will see, in my opinion, that the | tion will be an attempt not to trans- fer the bureaucratic state from some to others, as has been done hitherto, | but to break up that machine. This \is a preliminary condition of every real people's revolution. This was precisely the attempt of our heroic Paris comrades,” In this exhibition also are por- trayed, so that all can realize the tremendous sweep of the movement, Swept through many Europe. Most important for revolutionists is the constant emphasis on the de- cisive role of the Communist Party and the necessity, inside the Party, of carrying on a ruthless struggle against all departures of the correct general line.
