rb ta . “Should Art in the CHANGE — = WORLD! By Michael Gold _ Words from a Poisoned Pen PAT tf is a quotation from a magazine published in New York: “To appreciate the literary situation in Russia under Stalin, it is neces- sary to remember not only that the life of the Russian author who will not sell his pen to the bureaucracy is a social misery and a literary death, but that the life of the author who will sell is, as lives go in Russia, ixurious.” Realize the implications of this little paragraph of poison. The writer of it charges that every Russian writer today is a prostitute and coward. He writes novels like Fadeyeff’s “The Nineteen,” Panferoy’s “Brusski,” Kataev's “Time, Forward,” he writes hundreds of fine novels and plays ourning with a new spirit because he has been bought and paid for. He is the same kind of writer one finds in the Saturday Evening Post ~hay, worse, for he writes not only for money, but to save his hide. That is what the above paragraph says, that such men as Maxim Gorky and the late Anatol Lunacharsky and the ex-Prince Mirsky, who is now a Bolshe- vik author, are low-minded prostitutes who “sold their pens to Stalin.” And This Is “Marxism”! Was: did this little paragraph appear? In the organ of the Russian Monarchists of New York who drill with rifles in a national guard arm- ory for the great day when they can invade the Soviet Union with the help of Japanese and German fascists and restore the Czar, the knout and the pogrom? Or dit * annear in the paper of the New York Fascists, “The Awak- ener’? Or in the house organ of the National Civic Federation? One would expect it in these places, but no, it appeared in a “radical” maga- zine, ‘The Modern Monthly,” which is edited by the ‘Marxist’ critic, V. F. Calverton, And the author of these shameful, counter-revolutionary lines, is my former teacher and friend, Max Eastman, one-time editor of The Masses. Disgusting! Horrible! Nauseating Criminal! I have never turned away from a friend who lost his path through drink, disease, or personal weakness. But Max Eastman, former friend, you have sunk beneath all tolerance! You are a filthy and deliberate liar! When you charge the Gorkys and Fadeyeffs of the Soviet Union with being cheap American pen-prostitutes, you have aligned yourself with the White Guards who say the same thing. Nay, you are worse, since you yourself was once the Bolshevik leader of a generation of young intellec- tuals. The world has always loathed the Judas more than it did the Pontius Pilates, Tolerance Toward Nazis : HERE is an article in the same issue on the Silver Shirts, a fascist organization in the South which receives money from Hitler. ‘The author, Jean Burton, takes the airy tone of a sophisticate. He iveats the matter humorously, in the style of Mencken. The article might have been written for the old “Mercury,” and possibly was, only to be rejected and then printed by the ever-complacent Calverton. It is well-known that fascism always begins with a great hurrah of social demagogy, This is the most dangerous moment of its thrust to power. It goes after a mass-following, with revolutionary promises that are only cynical stratagems. Hitler stole many planks from the Socialist and Communist plat- forms, none of which, of course, he carried out, since he {ts the tool of the big bankers and industrialists. Mussolini the same. It is vital, in the first stages of fascism, to expose these lies, and to prove to the masses they mean nothing and will bring no real relief for unemployment or Wall Street chicanery. The fascists will promise any- j article is well-written, D | February “Student Review” Is Among Finest Ever Issued “Student Review,” published by the National Student League. Feb- ruary Issue. Price 10 cents. eee Reviewed by JERRY ARNOLD Besides being the Jargest (32 pages) the “Student Review this month is one of the finest cver issued. Every interesting. The magazine is packed with stimu- Jating tales of students’ struggle against militaristic administrations, demagogic labor officials, worsening economic conditions and the fight for @ united front against war, retrench- ment and against discrimination of Negro students. The leading article, “Students in Politics,” an avcount of the sympo- sium at Washington during the Christmas holidays, presents a clear, vivid contrast of the organizational and theoretical differences between the NS.L., Student League for In- dustrial Democracy and “Young America.” The latter is essentially |@ middle class student movement headed by Seldon Rodman, editor of “Common Sense,” who presents the viewpoint of his organization. Josevh Lash, one of the leaders of the S.L. ID., writing on the symposium, mini- mizes the united front agreement of the N.SL. and SLID. which the Jeaders of the latter organization broke, and puts all blame of disrup- tion on the N.S.L. Relis’ account of what is going on in Cuba. Relis, the N.S.L, delegate to the Ala Izquerda, the revolutionary student movement, has taken an ac- tive part in the Cuban liberation movement and was twice arested for his activities. “They Saw for Themselves,” by David Brownstone, is an excellent account of the investigating trip which the students of Utah Univers- ity made to the strife-torn mine fields of Helper where the National | Miners Union was leading one of | the most militant mine strikes in| history. In a magazine less praise- | worthy this would easily have been | the best article. Other features include: “Howard a Necro student of Miners Teachers College, Washington; the Faculty Room scene from the play “Peace on arth”; conventions at Washington; “Ohio State Expulsions,” a report of the anti-R.O.T.O. protest at Ohio State by Theodore Draper; the “Canadian Student Movement,” by M, Wayman; “Notes for Law Stu- dents,” by John Powers, and a timely account of the New Utrecht student strike for better lunchroom condi- tions, by Herbert Witt. Some very good books reviews of current books round out the issue, thing to get support, but their real boss is capitalism. It is the duty of every anti-fascist to point this out ceaselessly. But'in this article the author credits the American fascists with a valid and honest program of financial reform: “The odd part of it is that when they (the Silver Shirts) can te: themselves away from the Jews for a moment or 80, they have a genu- inely interesting monetary program. They have one of the best plans for providing consumer credit of any group in this country... . ” And again: “The rational reform groups {liberals, Socialists, Communists: my notation] haye been at work for a long time now and if anyones can tell us What progress they have made we will be grateful. Grateful and sur- prised. What is needed, as must have come to Mr. Pelley (the fascist leader) in a flash, is a sensible program with a good stiff admixture of | hocey to give it a chance of success, The Galahad boys (fascists) have it, and now let them show us what they are going to do with it.” In other words, Mr. Burton and his editor, Mr, Calverton, obviously believe that the Fascists have many honest revolutionary tendencies, and ought to be given a chance to demonstrate, “Let them show us what they can do,” as if Hitler and Mussolini had not sufficiently shown the world. Such naivete must be deliberate. Olher Warnings Y haaigg are other notes of a similar sinister undercurrent in this issue of the “Modern Monthly.” The letter of E. Bryant, for instance, attacks like the New York Times, the “parlor reds of Union Sq.,” meaning the Communists. It also attacks Marx, Lenin and other writers who taught that a socialist revolution can be led only by the working class, This letter- writer is obviously not a farmer, but some kind of intellectual semi- fascist. Like Hitler, he uses the farm revolt as a popular club against those who affirm the Marxist analysis of a real socialist revolution, which can only be led by an organized working-class, since this is the only his- toric class that must of necessity usher in socialism. But the editors of this “Marxist” magazine have no answer to make to this strange letter which ends with a threat. “We really wonder how this revolution will end.” A Word to the Drifters re magazine is one of the organs of the newly-formed “American Workers Party.” There are few workers, but many honest and be- wildered intellectuals who have already been seduced by this group. I would advise them to study this magazine carefully, in the light of Marxism and Fascism. I would advise them to think over Max Eastman’s malicious and wholesale lie about the Soviet authors. It is a lie that leads somewhere in life; and where else but war against the Soviet Union? I would advise them to study the tone of Jean Burton's over- Jape at the Arferican Faseists, and the letter of B. Bryant. There are three stages in the development of an intellectual these days; first, he encounters Communism; second, he shrinks from its chal- ienge difficulty, danger; third, he compromises by seeking some easy way out, that will not hurt his conscience (“taking Communism away from bith eee Americanism, tolerance, a broad movement, opportu- , 5 Nothing stands still. Opportunism leads somewhere. It has led the editors of Modern Monthly into printing these infamous white-guard lies about the Soviet Union. It has made them believe that Fascism has a social program. It has rendered them tolerant of fascism, Tt has aligned friendly warned, you drifters, before you find your~ wlves in the strangest of companies, in the camp of Roosevelt or Hitler, Criticize Review of the “New Pioneer” U.

We come from Minnesota where it was 35 degrees below zero when I left and the delegation is sick. As the | chairman pointed out, last year I was | elected as the first Communist Mayor of an American city, What happened y e bourgeois pop- lation of this city was divided. They d two candidates for mayor. This ar they were more cleyer—instead using two bourgeois candidates, they concentrated on one, a White Guard Russian. They passed from one miner’s shack to another saying |that they had nothing against the | Communist Mayor, that he was abso- lutely sine rights, but that not one of the mines n Crosby would open if they elected 2 Communist mayor again. So, some of the miners thought that if they got rid of the Communist Mayor | they would get their jobs back Some months have passed and every mine in Crosby is still standing idle and will conti! to do so as the c A Communist | fights not only but out of office and the know that when they have a complaint to bring | up to the relief officials, the C.W.A officials, that ays come to Comrade that he will fight for an al Nygard and and with them. They know that last | Summer it was the Communist Party |of Crosby that attacked the Farm is and led the workers in @ protest strike against the relief offi- | ci ‘and they know that in Crosby | there is no forced labor and that the | officials are afraid of the Communist | Labor offi py |. We recently called for a mass meet- ~\ing of the Unemployed Council to {elect a delegate to this convention. e Communist Party of Crosby re~ | cently went to the I.W.W, and said to them, “Let's get together in a United Front and demand an exten- sion of C.W.A, jobs for every man in | the city and send men to the mayor. e of the I.W.W. came to our | meeting and spoke in favor of un- employment insurance because the | realized that under the present eco- nomic system we would have nothing unless we compelled the capitalists to give back some of the profits they b, | Had stolen.
