WHAT! WORLD! By Joseph Freeman DESORIBED yesterday how, on arriving in Moscow in 1926, I found a much more tolerant attitude toward arts and letters than T had left behind me in our own movement, at that time extremely sectarian on these questions. Almost immediately I began to study and to gather material for the firet book on Soviet arts and letters by an American writer. I had two objects in writing such a book, I wanted to make available for American readers, both Communist and liberal, the facts about Soviet wrt and literature. I also wanted to contribute what I could toward break- ing down the sectarianism in our literary movement at home. My work on such a book was facilitated by a request which I received from Vanguard Press in New York that I write a small volume for their series on the Soviet Union. They sent me an advance payment. I men- tion this trifle because our indignant Scribe has not scrupled to repeat one of the oldest counter-revolutionary charges, namely that those who defend the Soviet Union are in its pay. Nevertheless, it is a matter of record that instead of receiving Moscow gold for sitting in Union Square and rewriting official Soviet dope, I was actually receiving American money for studying Soviet literature on Soviet soil. But while we are on the subject of “artists in uniform” and “literary inquisitions,” I think it is my duty to disclose the unhappy end of the little book which Vanguard asked me to do. The editor of the series on the Soviet Union was a university professor who made the alarming discovery that I was a Communist. He wrote me that it was considered inadvisable to have @ book on the Soviet Union by a Communist, Such authorship would prejudice the liberal audience which the book was intended to reach. I could keep the advance, but I need not send my manuscript. . . ("THE professor was making a concession to an old bourgeois prejudice. In the “free” literary world of the U. S. A. everyone has a right to pub- lish articles and books about Communism except Communists. The Mrs. Eve Garret Gradys, the Isaac Don Levines, the Will Durants are “im- partial” in their vilification and abuse of the Soviet Union. It is the Communist writer who is “prejudiced.” I was not say this is a “literary inquisition,” but I submit that it is a form of censorship. Yet I have not noticed that the anti-Communist inkslingers who foam at the mouth about “artists in uniform” or the Soviet -Union’s “literary inquisition” have raised their voices in pro- test against the class control of art and literature which prevails in capitalist America. | The professor’s generosity in regard to the “American gold” enabled me to buy Russian books, to meet Soviet writers. I continued collecting | material in the hope that somewhere in the United States I might find | | someone not unalterably opposed to hearing what a Communist might have to say about Communism and art. I returned to the United States in 1927 and found the ignorance about and the hostility toward the U.S.8.R. as thick as ever. This was a state of affairs which even intelligent people, more or less sympathetic to the Soviet Union, took into account if they happened to be engaged in a } business catering to bourgeois taste. For instance, in 1927 I offered a translation of Roar China to a New York theatre, accompanied by permission to produce it sent me by the author, Serge Tretyakov, and its Moscow director, V. Meyerhold. Trety- akov also sent voluminous notes as to how the play ought to be pro- duced. The New York theatre turned it down. Three years later—in } 1930—the same theatre produced Roar China. It was among other things the suspicious attitude which prevailed | in 1927 that delayed the publication of the book which eventually became Voices of October. Vanguard Press, more liberal than others, was will- ing to let me edit a book on Soviet arts and letters which would con- tain conttibutions by non-Communists like Lee Simonson, Babette Deutsch and others. I wanted to add to these chapters by leading Soviet writers so that | the American reader might get a first, rather than second-hand impres- sion, of what Soviet literature is like. At first our publishers agreed to this; and I began to correspond with Meyerhold, Eisenstein and others for special contributions to Voices of October. . * . HE Russians, as everyone except our literary prosecuting attorney knows, were rather busy in those days. Besides, speed was not one of their outstanding characteristics. A year passed in fruitless attempts to obtain suitable contributions, and in the end only Serge Eisenstein came across. For most of 1929 I had to drop Voices of October altogether. I was editing it in my spare time, for I was a busy newspaperman. In the summer of 1929 I went as a correspondent to Mexico. It was when I returned late that year, that I rushed the book through to the publisher. ‘The money for it was advanced not by Moscow, but by the American Fund for Public Service. , The book, as it finally appeared, was signed by Joshua Kunitz, Louis Loaowick and myself. Kunitz had written one chapter, a very fine one, on Men and Women in Soviet Literature. Lozowick was the author on the chapter which dealt with painting; and co-author with me of the chapter which dealt with the theatre. I wrote the chapter which gave the background of Soviet literature, as well as the chapters on the cinema and music. . But before that final arrangement was arrived at, I had proposed that we include in the book chapters by Lunacharsky and Vyacheslav ‘y, which I had translated from Soviet magazines. Our publisher, himself sympathetic to the U.S.S.R., reversed an earlier position and felt the book would make a better impression if it were written en- by Americans. af . . . I should like to call the reader's attention to the case of Vyacheslav Polonsky, the famous Soviet editor and critic. Our Grand Inquisitor says that Voices of October appeared at the “exact mathematical center” of the period when RAPP “persecuted” writers, and that Polonsky was ‘ome victim of its persecution.” But our Scribe does NOT mention that my first chapter in Voices October, which he misquotes, twists and falsifies throughout his dia- * tribe, says in so many words at the bottom of page 28: “The rest of this chapter fs based on analysis of ten years of S Soviet literature by Vyacheslav Polonsky, published in the Novy Mir, Moseow, 1927.” - The rest of this chapter means from page 28 to page 58! words, my chapter, which appeared at “the exact mathematical center” of the “literary inquisition” which was “persecuting Polonsky,” frankly Polonsky a5 my pages! a : z which the Modern Monthly is guilty.

Com- of cut and dried charts that leave munist Party. One subject engrosses all of them. That is, that capitalism has a way/ out of the crisis. The titles show} that clearly: “The American Way Out, | Franklin Roosevelt in Action.” “The} Roosevelt Revolution, a History of the New Deal.” “The Economies of Recovery.” “The Roosevelt Revolution,” by | Ernest K. Lindley, has the double blessing of Mrs. Roosevelt and the} recent head of the brain trust, Profes- sor Raymond Moley. “The American |Way,” by Earle Looker, is an im- | pressionistic portrait, daubed with | political interpretations. Roosevelt sat for it—literally—while the politi- cal impressario searched his soul to see if he would fit as the saviour of American capitalism. It is endorsed by the back-door ghoul of the Wil- json war regime, Colonel Edward M. House. House graces the book with an introduction, worth quoting from. “We are in the midst of a social| revolution none the less potential be- | cause peaceful. . This is no ordi- | nary crisis... . The future of life | and property, not only in this coun- | try but in a large part of the world, | depends upon Roosevelt’s courage | and statesmanship. If he succeeds, it | may well be that history will con- | clude that the loss in fortunes be- | cause of this economic revolution, was well worth while.” | Both books contend Roosevelt is succeeding and must succeed if capi- | talism is to be saved. That Roosevelt is really a revolu-| tionist, and that by his understand- | ing of economic forces and his dom- ineering will is changing the whole structure of American capitalism, is the dominant note. | But Messrs. Morgan, Ford, Rocke- | feller, Mellon, have no fear. “Her- | bert Hoover could subscribe to the avowed object of the revolution,” | says Mr. Lindley. j The way these gentlemen bandy about the word revolution is enlight- ening. It has become popular. The masses want a way out of the crisis, and a revolutionary way out is not | unpopular with the toiling masses. | Roosevelt can stoop to ‘the most un- restrained demagogy about “revolu- tion” with a program that would satisfy Herbert Hoover—precisely be- | cause that program has the only ob- ject of preserving capitalism and all its relations by strengthening the domination of the leading imperial- ists. No one will deny that Roosevelt's methods are new, because the depths to which American capitalism has sunk are so deep, the problems of im- | perialism in the present stage of| crisis so great they require new and | drastic methods. The whole capi- talist system is admittedly at stake, | and the greatest danger lies in the| awakening of the toiling masses, Both books have as much relation to reality as Roosevelt’s campaign speeches have to accomplishment.
