“WORLD! By Michael Gold Housewives and Their Husbands STANLEY, a Chicago worker, feels very deeply about the home problem of the Communist worker in America. The man becomes radi- calized, but the woman does not, and a devastating conflict sets in, which often affects the children and even breaks up the home. Part of the misunderstanding often comes from the fact that the woman has no contacts with the outside world. She is locked like s prisoner in the home by her many duties and cares. Hers is an intensely emotional but. narrow world.’ She fights for her Mttle brood and family with the same primitive flerceness and ignorance as did the wives of the cavemen. But the man is out in &’factory. He is in contact with other work- ers and, through a trade union, has learned that only in co-operative effort can these problems be met. He has also met many forms of agita- don; soapbozers have hammered at him from street corners, he has read a ee about the the bosses. cannot escape the modern currents. But a housewife can, and becomes real tragedy—this gap between a man who has been forward in development, while the wife he loves has stood still. Comrade Stanley has nb solution to offer, since he finds that it is impossible for the class-conscious husband to educate his wife. resists too much, takes everything, too personally. This is true; the cannot do the job alone. Somehow he must find ways to expose fe to the same influences that changed him, He ought to urge go to mass meetings; when he is on strike he ought to bring her the picket line, to see ‘boss-brutality at first hand; he ought argue joining one of the Women’s Councils. the Soviet Union this problem is being solved by these collective ods. Housewives are organized in trade unions, like their husbands; ‘they also participate in child welfare work, and co-operative societies for food distribution, and similar types of organization closely linked up with their daily life. They also elect members to each local Soviet, to represent ‘the interests of the housewives, * Ba: g peFESeENE Hitt Can Hitler Defeat the Women? No! jUT, of course, we are not yet near anything like that in America. There are women's councils in some of the big cities, and many of the left wing unions have learned from Communist teachers that you can’t really win a strike without the complete enthusiasm of the women, One of the basic platforms of Communism is the demands for the freedom of women. Fascism, on the other hand, believes that women should be nothing but breeding machines to produce dumb and obedient ‘, cannon-fodder for the wars of capitalist imperialism. Hitler has deprived women of every one of their hard-won political rights. They cannot vote or hold office, they are being pushed out of the professions and factories; they are told that thinking is a man’s job, and their role in life is to uphold the three Ks—Kirche, Kinder und Kuche— which means church, children and kitchen. But women have advanced too far even in the bourgeois world to go beck a thousand years. Women have brains and courage. Great masses of them today are fighting side by side with their husbands in the great world revolution that will free men, women and children from the prison- house of capitalism. If one wanted at least one definite sign that Hitler cannot survive, it is this attempt of his to re-enslave the women. It can’t be done. The clock of history cannot be turned back in this manner, even by the bloody hand of a Nazi pervert. wre oie: * * This Be Trae? ND now I shall give some excerpts from Comrade Stanley’s fine letter, and I trust a few of the women will sit down and tell him and the ‘rgst of us what can be done about the matter. “Tt is well known that.the pressure on many Party members from their ere the wives took their children away and deserted the man, because ives is sometimes unbearable. T have seen in my own neighborhood cases ie Was a bolshevik. “Consider the environment of the American housewife. The radio all | day filling her mind with poison. Salesmen calling at the door with a phoney talk of prosperity, The kids coming from school and bringing her more capitalsit propaganda and lies: Movies occasionally, sometimes a tabloid paper, nearly always the church. z “The result is: she becomes a being that reacts to every emotion with- out plan, object or reason. She accuses her husband of all sorts of things. . His love has cooled. He is going to the bad because he neglects going to church. She can’t understand him any longer, thinks he is crazy when he talks enthusiastically about the Soviet Union. She cries and prays and wonders how a kind, good man like her husband can no longer believe in President Roosevelt and the Nirs. “Why does he worry so much about the state of the country? Why not " wait until things are bad for his own family? After all, it is not their kids who are dying of hunger, and the landlord hasn't evicted them yet. “And as for militant.action, the workers taking the world in their own. hands, that terrible. For she can’t believe that he worker-husband may have as good brains as some of the fat grafters who run the government. “No, she prefers to drift; and live in those rosy dreams that are made |) Hollywood to drug. the minds of the working class. Many of these women would die for thetrhusbands and children in any great struggle, but they take the easy road of dreams in every day life. Meanwhile the little family drifts toward destruction as the capitalist octopus reaches out toward them. Why can't the housewives see that the only way to love your working class husband and children today is to fight for their free- dom? When and how can we make these women see, that literally, they have nothing to lose but their chains?” 7 oT’ S Thursday WINTER TERM Workers School, last week ee ene, 28 M: TSth Bs iex.c, LISTON OAK will speak on “Th ear of the Second Five-Year West Side Br.

The two were sitting on the porch of Gottlieb's farmhouse. “It's already seven o'clock,” said Bill, “and you ain’t got no more’n ten chairs on the porch. Where you gonna put them all?” “Oh, shoo!” said Gottlieb. “Dat be plenty. Ten chairs be too much.” “Well,” Bill said. “I asked at least two hundred to come and I'll bet more'n a hundred’ll be here.” Gottlieb laughed and said, “Ten | chairs be too much.” “Well,” Bill said, irritably, “I'll go down to the cellar and get the benches, myself, or else they'll have to sit on the floor.” “Naw,” Gottlieb said. “What’s the | use? Dey won't come to sit on dem.” “And how about the coffee?” Bill asked. “Did Mary make enough? ) We'll need a lot of coffee.” “Shoo!” Gottlieb said. “Hey, May! Coffee! Coffee for tree.
