y Py RO eee EF Ticats WHAT WORLD! By Michael Gold Katayama’s Funeral 'TALIN, Kalinin and all the chief Sovict leaders were pallbearers at the recent funeral of Sen Katayama in Moscow. They were paying the tribute of the first workers’ republic to one who was the father of the Japanese -labor and socialist movement. They were also answering those slanderers who preach that the Soviet Union has become nationalistic, and has lost interest in the Struggles of the workers in other lands. The presence of these Soviet leaders at a public funeral enraged the Japanese militarists who hated Katayama and the Japanese Communists, The Soviet Union is the fatherland of every militant working class rebel, every fighter against race oppression. The victims of fascism all over the world may be found gathered in Moscow. For years it was the home of Bill Haywood, of the U.S.A. Germanetto, and other Italian workers and intellectuals; Bela Dies, and hundreds of Hungarian exiles; Jugo-Slavs, Hindus, Negroes, Ger- mans, Chinese, Egyptians, the flower of the international proletariat, may be seen in Moscow, their home until all the world is free. Katayama, the great old man, would have been strangled by his ene- mies, the Japanese imperialists, had he returned to Tokio. But in Moscow he was a leading citizen, as well known in life and death as any Russian leader, admired and loved by the Soviet masses. We Must Know Japan! aes vanguard of the American working class must learn more about our Japanese comrades. The two empires, America and Japan, are destined to fight. a bloody war for the trade dominion of the Pacific. There ought to be the closest ties between the workers of both countries, so that at the fateful hour, they will know how to co-operate in the overthrow of their respective capitalisms. The Japanese comrades study America intensely, and know much more about the history of our struggles than we know about theirs, I have been amazed at various times to learn how many of our books have been trans- lated into Japanese, and sold in large editions, Bill Haywood, John Dos . Passos, Scott Nearing, Agnes Smediey, Theodore Dreiser, Upton Sinclair— there is not a writer of any social importance you can name whose work is not as well known to the revolutionary Japanese workers and students as it is here. Eyen our young writers are familiar to them—young poets like Nor- man Macleod, Joseph Kalar and Martin Russak, for example. Even under the fascist terror they translate American literature and print books in mass editions. I. would like to cite a personal instance. I have had two books pub- lished in America, but in Japan, I discovered a year ago, there are three. One of the volumes is made up of various critical articles I have written during a period of years, faithfully collected from the back files of the old Masses and Liberator and Daily Worker. It is this kind of eager audience that inspires a writer, and makes him want to give everything he has to give. Let us indulge in a little self- : criticism and admit there does not exist as yet any such audience of revo- jutionary readers in America, . « * The Red Ivory Tower ‘I STILL has to be created. It is true the workers are starving here ,and haven't the money for books. But the Japanese peasants and workers have been living under worse conditions for decades. Their wages are about a fourth of wages here; but they are passionate about culture. Books are a necessity to them, not a luxury. The theatre is a necessity; there are “ dozens of professional theatres in Japan devoted to the working-class revolution, and possibly hundreds, of red vaudeville troupes. ‘This goes on under the most severe repression; it is culture bought literally with precious proletarian blood. This cultural movement is like a great garden on whose soil the revolution is tended constantly by careful and courageous hands. Communism can never die, while its songs and “poems and plays live in the emotions of the masses. Our revolutionary movement in America still is at a low cultural level, a hangover from the I.W.W. and Socialist days. Many comrades still look down on our struggling cultural organizations as a species of Bohemianism. A broad cultural movement, based on the concrete daily life around us and responding to the human needs of the workers can alone correct this condition. It will clear up our muddy journalism so that the stream of agitation can run pure to its goal, It will draw in thousands of new forces, teaching them by imagery and song the lessons of Marx and Lenin. Yes, song. What is a revolutionary song? It is the emotional projec- tien of a slogan, it is the emotional intensification of a necessary thesis, so that its import sinks forever into the deepest core of the proletarian mass-mind. Is this of no value? ‘We must build the cultural movement, as rapidly and skillfully as possible. Let the comrades who are still indifferent to it study the Japan- ose revolution, for example, and realize that cultural work is one of the major strategies in the organization of the working class for power. Only Two Books from Japan! IDREDS of American books of @ revolutionary characier have ap- peared in Japan, but to our shame, be it noted, there has appeared ex- actly one volume of Japanese short stories, “The Cannery Boat.” Even this was done in a botched fashion; the stories cut in half, for some odd reason, so that they are sometimes meaningless, ‘The only other book I know in English és Katayama’s study, “The Labor Movement in Japan,” which was publiated by Charles H. Kerr in 1918. It is an amazing and heroic story, filled with the epic spirit of world labor. The rise of Japanese labor coincided with the Kfe of Sen Katayama; the two cannot be separated. He was the secretary of the first trade union organized in Japan, and editor of the first labor paper. This was in 1897, and as the movement developed, crushed to powder by the bosses again and again, but rising with new strength, Katayama was always in the front tanks. Most of his old associates among the leaders deserted or grew pas- -isive, but the old man persisted in his slow, grand way. i ‘ When the Communist International was born as an answer to the im- _ perialist war and the socialist-patriots, Katayama was one of its founders. -But I shall try to summarize his book here tomorrow, since it con- tains so much fnspiration and necessary background.

Band Concert and Dance Tonight NEW YORK.—The Workers Inter- national Relief Band of 40 pieces is constantly extending its activities. It is now in its fifth year of service in the struggles of the workers. To get funds for the workers’ press it recently went out into the streets and played for the pennies, nickels and dimes which were thrown on the bass drum, raising $16. in a” short while. It plans to do this in other campaigns. It plays for all workers’ meetings. In celebration of its fifth anniver- sary and to raise money to equip it- self, the band is holding a concert and dance tonight at the Finnish Hall, 15 West 126th Street.

Short-wave reception was very bad during last week, due to extreme changes in temperature, but the comrades of our club are always ready and we got in some “catch” for the week. Thursday, Dec. 7, at about 1:35 p.m. tuning a Scott-All- Wave in 21-27 meters I heard a pro- gram of songs and music which I understood to be Italian. The way the broadcast of that station was coming in puzzled me. A man’s voice inte:rupting the broadcast of the music called out “Wamo-Woma- Woma,” “Amingo.” Then the music continued just as not being inter- Tupted. the same voice came in again say- ing: “Uno momento-Uno momento bueno sinco minutos—and the sta- tion faded away without announcing the station. To my estimation it might be the Italian station 2 RO on 25.40 meters, which is considered as @ rare catch at that time at those meters, Comraed Semash or New York re- Ported tuning in with fair volume one evening during last week on Caracas, Venezuela, with one of our 2-tube battery receivers on 49.00 meter band. Comrade Cohn, an active member of our radio class, experimenting at our headquarters Saturday night at 11 pm. with a 2-tube battery set, Succeeded in connecting a 1-tube amplifier to that set, and listened in to the following convezsation be- tween two men on a loud speaker: “Do you hear me, Henry? When do we hear from you again?” The reply was: “If Wednesday was a good day’—and the station faded away without announcing their call let- ters. Following up the radio news for the week, it turned out to be a direct pick-up of KJTY, the Jacob Ruppert’s Admiral Byrd’s flagship in conversation with KIO, Hawaii. Comrade Cohn and Milman had a very interesting experience on two radio sets, one a Scott, the other one of our 2-tube sets. We were in one ;Toom and using different aerials. It was Sunday, Dec. 10, at 4:50 pm.! We were tuning in for the Moscow station RV-69 on 50.00 meters.

A moment later, when Cohn reached the 50.00 band on the 2-tube set with his dials a very loud squeal came in on the Scott, which was followed by two men singing a Russian song. In this case the 2-tube set, at a distance of about eizht feet from the Scott, turned out to be a tuner to the bigger set without be- ing connected with the Scott in any way.
