| WHAT WORLD! By Michael Gold Mud in the Temple [ay 6 tem See ree oe Se son 100 per cent critics, and hairy Bohemians of America looked down on the handful of red authors. We were supposed to be defiling the temple of pure and beautiful let- vers by entering with the mud of the street on our shoes. We talked, and wrote, and even more dreadful, agitated, for the cause of the working class. We were political. We were passionately interested in the economics of Marx and Lenin. We had @bad case of the “messiah-complex,” so that beery champion of the stats quo, H. L. Mencken informed his rabble of white-collared “supermen.” Yes, we had a more vital concern for society than for that small field of it which was our specialty.” We said civilization was in decay, and there- fore literature was in decay, and nothing could save the culture of the world except a working class revolution. Reform could not help; it had been tried, and only prolonged the agony and confusion. We said many other such things in the limited space given us to say them. And the bourgeois authors, from bass-drummer Mencken down to the feeblest: poetaster tootling his verse in Greenwich Village, dismissed us forever with all the stale dogmas of the art for art's sake cult. Well, well, how times have changed. Not the fear of God, but the un- hoiy fear of the collapse of the system before which they salaamed has en- tered the temple, and all the authors now are dabbling in politics and econ- omics. Really, though it may be important as a sign of the period, it is also amusing. It is amusing to watch Archibald MacLeish and Ezra Pound and Gorham Munson, for example, all of them once as undefiled by political thinking as a nightingale ora hippopotamus, wrestle with the esoterics of the Major Douglas scheme of. social credit. They look upon the Major with the awe some of their comrades once had for Gurdjieff, that sly racketeer in the Yoga. They have become mystic about exchange and currency. No- body has informed them that’ Karl Marx demolished their particular ex- periment in utopian reformism some 70 years ago, in his answer to Proud- hon, its father. Cocaine Catholics TE ae go in fora “decadent Catholicism, following the lead of esthetes 3 Jean Cecteau and T. 8. Eliot. If the Catholic Chureh hopes to be ,/o¢ fvom the advancing tide of « socialist and rational world by such champions, it is indeed in bad case. Cocaine addicts like Cocteau or hot- house orchids like Eliot bring only the germs of their own decay into any Calis? they espouse. The masses have an instinct for truth: the stru7gle for life forces them to such reality. The masses have an instinct for health; of survival demands sanity and health. be politics of such neo-Catholics is a false and diseased thing, per- verse to the core. Yet it is amusing to have arch-dilletantes and boulevard perverts like Cocteau suddenly turn pious, or to hear T. 8. Eliot, who is the product of a plebian town in the backwoods of New Jersey, confess he is a royalist and catholic. s is polities with a vengeance, yet it is a logical development. The a f such men was.always warped and limited, with no roots in the epic e of daily humanity, Too fastidious to live with mankind, it is natural 1 when they become political, it is to join the came of the exploiters. + . . Literary Fascism ‘HERE is a current of Fascism settng in, too, amongst our literateurs. Fascism, which is a flank movement of the big industrialists using the impoverished middle class as their soldiers against the working class, enters a country hy many devious channels. 5 familiar with the increased activity among the fascists, illiterate like Art Smith of Philadelphia, or the Nazi-subsidized Silver ‘s, or the racketeering outfit led by the swindler Major Frank Pease, recently kicked out of England for trying to fleece the widow of Joseph Conrad of her little estate.’ ll this is to be expected. Even when a cultivated and shrewd figure ice Lawrence Dennis, formerly of the State Department, turns Ku Kluxer and joins with a former I.W.W. renegade, Harold Lord Varney, to organize another fascist group, one can readily understand what is happening. ‘These ave the usual vultures who swarmed to fascism in Germany, land and England. Broken-down adventurers who have often m the old game, they have nothing to lose and a great deal to gain by a gangster government. It is also the Napoleon complex at work m, the besie trait of bourgeois man, the lust for power and easy These perverts smell a feast of death. They have no confidence id know enough history to understand that, as the next step for the ing class is Communism, so far capitalism it can only be fascism, So they are climbing on what they think is a new bandwagon. And Nira helps them. Every step taken by Nira means a destruction of militan# trade urfonism and a concentration of political and economic power in a few capitalist hands. The more one analyzes Nira, the more does it become plain that it is a strengthening of monopoly capitalism. Not only have the anti-trust laws been wiped off the books, but the governmental grants of aid only to large corporations and at the expense of tho smell businessmen, farmers and workers builds up to a fascist state. The Primrose Path to Fascism ND many of our literary men, who would never accept fascism con- sciously, have succumbed=to Nira. This is what is not amusing; this is where the danger lies. Fascism always begins like a “socialist” lamb, and finishes its career as a bloodthirsty capitalist ape. A certain type of literary mind succumbed to this demagogy in Europe, as it is doing here, with the most socialist of motives. It is really painful for, instance, to read Sherwood Anderson these days. He writes for Vincent Astor’s magazine that the Secretary Wallace, who administers Nira’s agricultural program, is @ lovely libertarian soul. What a dangerous naivete.. Wallace is not a friend of the small farmer. He has always heen identified with the bankers and wealthy farm- exploiters. He is hated, with good reason, by the small farmers of the middle west and south. He represents the present government at Washington, and that government’s major task is to rehabilitate capitalicm, at any cost.. It is a class government, as definitely as was Hoover's. As fascism grows more conscious, Roosevelt will make one concession after another, as did Dollfuss in Austria, to the fascists, until he és converted to the whole program, Has history no lessons to teach us, especially history as fresh as that of only yesterday? " Only the Working Class can lead on the historic way to Socialism. No coalition liberal regime has, ever done é or ever will. But it takes the rarest of the elder men of literature, a Romain Rolland or Thomas Mann, to see this clearly ond without muddled compromise, HIM MARTIN WHAT MAKES You THINK CHICAGOISA SToOor, Tim?

M U IS article is the first of a series which is to bea permanent weekly feature, an answer to a constantly Srowing demand for open discussion of music and the revolutionary work- ers’ movement. Scarce as musical articles and reviews have been on the pages of the Daily Worker, they have contributed to a great need. Still they have always left one with the desire for more, - Musical comment was sporadic, it did not treat systematically of many questions that concern our musical life. Michael Gold’s “Jazz Revelry” was the only thing that began to look like a good discussion. And that was a drop in the ocean . >. a long time ago. Jazz, after all, isn’t the most im~- portant question for us. It is only one phase of our musical life. Workers music organizations, revolutionary composers and musicians—all are confronted with a host of important problems of creative and orga tional work as well es of standards of revolutionary criticism. Workers’ choruses, bands and or estras, in their daily activity, are in- terested in finding out what the rest of the musiz movement is doing. Composers wish to discuss their creative problems. Critics don’t know whether they are to assume the role of composers’ and performers’ Ne- mesis or to;help us in forging a healthy productive line for revolu- tionary music. * * may be rather startling news to many (even in the music move~ ment) that there are at least 5,000 workers, who are active in our music organizations, Already many of them . + “Why can’t we share organiza- are asking: . our experiences, musically, tionally, ideologically? we help one another? . They emphatically say: organizations, working in near languages—our national traditions are different—but we are building a solid revolutionary movement in America—we struggle together on picket lines, in hunger marches and for unemployment insurance—our cultural experience comes from the same soil... things to express, only we do it in different languages and musical idioms. . . . Surely, we could learn from each other!” etre: OME of these questions have been partly answored by the Workers Music League (with organizations in New York, Boston, Philadelphia) and partly by the existing language-mus- ical federations. Indeed, where the WML. is active, it has proved to be a forum of musical and organiza- tional experience. The Pierre Degeyter Club, on the other hand, has done a great deal toward seriously discussing the prob- Two first meetings of new branches of the Workers Short Wave Radio | Club will take place this week.

We feel that these articles, openly discussing the various problems con- fronting the worker active in a music organization—the composer and the professional musician—will fearlessly expose the class nature of “pure music” so stoutly defended by the oracles of the bourgeois press. This open discussion on the pages of the Daily Worker should and will carry forward the aims of revolutionary music—music for the masses. L. A.

By MALYINA GOODMAN “The Partisan,” “Revolutionary Journal of Art, Literature and Opin- ion,” organ of the West Coast John Reed Clubs, has, in its second issue, made a definite effort to turn its face toward the propaganda shops of Ho! lywood. The three front-page arti deal with the moving-picture indus- try. Chaplin, makes clear the inevitable complete sell-out of the moving pic- ture industry to the g its fascist propaganda machine, and Arthur Fairchild’s “Three Little Ad- ministrators” shows how the N.R.A. administration for the movies is com- posed ideally for this purpose. But where is the movie strike? The most dramatic moment in the history of the workers in this ind first large-scale gle, and its almost im betrayal by the American Federation of Labor, receives no mention in the journal, example of the inadequacy of the craft form of unionism that it is serv- ing as a warning to workers in many other industries in this section, which are being organized along industrial lines and without the contro] of the American Federation of Labor. For the movie workers, their experience has only served to disgust them with all forms of organization, and so plays into the hands of the bosses. It is the opportunity of the John Reed Club of Holiywood, particularly, to take up the challenge, to show to the movie workers the successes possible through industrial unionism under rank-and- file control. The John Reed Club appeals to artists primarily on the basis of their art, and offers a new subject and a new inspiration in the revolutionary ideology. But to do so Marxian theory alone, without refer- ence to the immediate economic de- mands of the artists, is fatal. The same passive attitude is re- flected in the conclusion reached by Chaplin in one part of his otherwise excellent article. He d the threat of a movie executive against any of the workers who fail to submit to the drastic cuts in the cost of pro- duction and the consequent lessen- ing of artistic scope. diate open ‘artists, says Comrade Chaplin, “de- fended the integrity of the ind by reaching for a resignation bla: none felt ‘th the sacrifice of 3 to m, This is not the line of class gele. Organized action is the proper answer to an assault on a worker's integ: as artist or artisan, as well as on his means of living. It was the continual protest of workers on county jobs against the insult to their productive abilities in being orced to “scab against the steam that forced the government to put them on construction work, or to promise to do so. The two short stories in this issue deal with the same theme—the com- ing of a foreign speaking American . In this sentence in one of the stories lies the secret of the basic difference between them: “There is an old saying that you have to sleep at least, is how I know Serio Feroli.” Charles Coppock has slept with the situation with which he deals; he the working class movement from the inside. For him the Com- munist Party is assignments, and the ind the district office, ig of all the seats in Council of Sofia To Mi Qui: it is a ma: ing from the back of an aut in an empty lot. And his sto Mexican Comes Home,” suffers turally from this lack of close knowl- edge; it is naive and thin, where Cop- pock’s reaches into a rich background of reality for a casual abundance ot life. Slight as is the story, “Each In His Own Way,” the blood of the workers movement flows through it from sources implied. This ssue of “The Partsan” has im- proved in make-up, The cartoon “Hol- lywood Does Its Part” deserves par- ticular mention.
