It is the same policy pursued byathe German Social Democrats before Hitler came to power. Not only did they suppress the Spartacists, so as to “save the democratic republic,” not only did they support as premiers, Bruening, Van Papen and ‘Von Hindenburg, all of whom, it was revealed later, were openly among themselves regarding their role as the preparation of a Hitler regime; but the Social Democrats went ) far as to welcome Hitler for various.“‘strategic” reasons. Did not the Socialist leader Severing.say in April, 1932: “The Socialist Party, no leas than the Catholic Party, is strongly inclined to see Herr Hitler’s Nazis share the governmental responsibility.” (The idea being the same as that Which actuates our Civil Liberties liberals and Socialists; give the Fascists enough rope and they'll hang themselves. Give them free speech so.they can expose themselves, etc.) And at about the same time, in a the official Socialist organ, Vorwarts, wrote the following: the truth more clearly, and there is the detachment of the reporter who 1s essentially unconcerned about his material and looks at it as an out- sider making clever notations or strange phenomena. The authors of “Tobacco Road” (it is a dramatization by Jack Kirk- land of a novel by Erskine Caldwell) do not reveal the emotion that comes from a true connection with their material, a real understanding or sympathy. It lacks a point of Wew and seems to address itself to no- body in particular. Thus it arouses neither sorrow, pity or anger. It leaves one coldly amused, and when phe realizes that one is laughing at unfortunate human beings one leaves the theatre with a lowered Harvey O'Connor writes an expo-| sure of how Andrew Mellon profits from ‘war preparations, J.

They re- jected, however, every proposal toward this end made by the Com- munist Party, which day after*day pounded at this necessity. Even Socialist leaders like Breitscheid’ who.professed to be a united-fronter, weaseled and welched and tried to wriggle out of any real action. His proposal was that the two parties sign a non-aggression pact. He wanted the Communists to stop criticizing him and his fellows as they commi™ed one Judas-crime after another. “This understanding, (the united front), must at first set itself aims which appear relatively modest,” he Wrote in the Berlin Volkzeitung. *T have in mind in this connection .an armistice or a non-aggression In only one scene—where the bank- er comes to put these wretched “crea- tures who once were men” out of their decayed shanty—is there any suggestion of the social forces that produce these distorted lives. And this scene is presented in the same accidental manner as the rest. It seems nothing but an incident of the plot, whereas we should see in it the real causes of the whole situation. And just as these social forces are only vaguely suggested, so the indi- vidual characters, too, suffer from a lack of background in their portrayal. They are striking as such characters must be, but they are thin. One feels in them little more than what one sees, which does not make them any- thing better than superior caricatures.

Similarly the group insurance schemes introduced into industry are shown to be the means of eliminat- ing older workers from employment and discriminating against workers in il health.

Our dancers must be wary of that tech- ance while continuing to exact tribute from the masses, for the insecurity for which these capitalists are res- ponsibie. The hope of the masses for protec tion against insecurity lies only in or- ganized struggle to compel the govern- ment to provide social insurance out of its revenues and from the rants of the capitalists.

One doesn’t expect bloated-pluteselike John L. Lewis to favor a Working Class republic, but Mr. Thomas regards himself as a Socialist. Would he fight against the Soviet Union if some “democracy” like the United States or France or England decided to ffivade it? He may claim he would not, being a pacifist, but we can rest assured that he will not protest against Abe Caban doing so, or hundreds of other such Socialist leaders. There is only one way of effectively fighting fascism, and that is the class basis. Fascism is the last-stand of the bourgeoisie, and is directly aimed at the subjugation of the Workers, But the Socialists and labor fakers have rejected the class’ struggle, and they are sure to follow in the footsteps of their“German brothers, most of whom crawled to make their peace with Hitler on a: rms.
