CHANGE ae WORLD! By Sender Garlin In answer to certain skeptical comrades, let all and sundry know that all the paragraphs in quotation marks regarding the Norman Thomas- Huey Long debate in yesterday’s column were taken verbatim from a full- page announcement of the forthcoming “event,” in the New Leader, official organ of the Socialist Party, issue of Feb. 24, 1934, page 4 . . . . The Dramatic Critics on Scottsboro Some of the capitalist press dramatic crities are having a tough time explaining their reactions to John Wexley’s powerful play dealing with the Scottsboro frame-up now at the Royale Theatre in New York. When the curtain rose upon the play the other night the critics saw before them the enactment of the now-famous Scottsboro case, whose reverberations have been heard throughout the entire world. Fresh from “Richard of Bordeaux” where the impeccable Dennis King utters choice and sententious phrases, the critics were faced with a dev- astating picture of the lynch South. John Wexley was not unknown to the critics, being the author of “fhe Last Mile,” a play dealing with prison life, and “Steel,” an honest attempt at a genuine labor play. Brooks Atkinson in the New York Times announced Wexley's Scotts- boro play “will send a shiver of apprehension across the country,” and concluded with the declaration that “Mr. Wexley writes with the coolness of a man who has been deeply. stirred . . . For once good works match the crusader’s intentions.” To most of the other dramatic critics the problem was not so simple. The deep-going implications of Wexley’s play attacked the most basic prejudices of most of the reviewers, and yet, because the play is tech- nically almost flawless there remained very little opportunity for the critics to justify their irritation. Robert Garland in the “World-Telegram” described “They Shall Not Die” as “strident, rambling, iritentionally disturbing,” but he grudgingly admitted, at the conclusion of his two-column review, that “you are apt to carry it in your mind’s eye for many 2 livelong day.” * * . . “Propaganda May Sometimes Be Art,” But- fhe four years of the capitalist crisis even the dramatic critics are reluctantly beginning to concede that “propaganda may sometimes be They retreat, however, to the second-line trenches of the cultural ont and plead that if art must be propaganda, then won't the author please deal with some remoté problem, say—during the reign of Queen Flizabeth and the Earl of Jimjick? Liké the kindly college dean who tells the boys and girls of the National Students League that their ideas can be as radical as their heart’s desire, but they should not “meddle” with “controversial questions,” H The dramatic critic of Mr, Hearst’s “Mirror,” Mr. Bernard Sobel, uiopts the slick (though transparent) tactic of trying to down the play yy saying that it “lacks the fire of good propaganda and the essentials of 2 good play. It is largely at best a journalese summation of in- ents siinilar to the Scottsboro case sedulously developed, But this very fidelity to detail deprives the work of imaginative power.” ° . * . But Mr. Hearst’s other employee, Mr. Jonn Anderson of the New York Evening Journal, did not apparently match notes with Sobel. For he concluded his review with the declaration that ““They Shall Not Die’ does make up a play that is steadily engrossing, a painful play, no doubt, but exciting, and something to get hot about these cold nights, which are not so cold, it seems, as a court can be.” Mr, Burns Mantle in the “Daily News” resorted to Form “4” ‘> his attempt to dismiss the relentless inescapable social implications of Wex- ley’s play. “Like a majority of crusading dramas,” he wrote, “it oversvate its case.” Mantle asserts that “the ‘zeal of its authors and producers to stamp the truth and worthiness of their cause upon the minds of their auditors leads them into scenes and statements that may easily appeal to a majority of their hearers as having been as obviously framed as were the injustices against which they are inveighed.” Sounds strangely familiar like the shrill declaration of Attorney- General Knight of Alabama who in his summation during the Neyweod Patterson trial in Decatur charged that “It is not a framed prosecution, but rather a framed defense.” Mr. Clinton W. Gabriel of thé New York American, apparently indicts the author of “They Shall Not Die” for giving us an accurate, un‘orget- able picture of the actual scene in Decatur, Alabama (as I witnessed it myself las; Spring). The play, Gabriel writes, “proceeds, through Com- munistic exhortation and courtroom forensics, to the magnificently in- human farce of the real trial, with all its clan tactics and its yowling hatefulness and stupidities exhibited in unsparing style.” Too realistic, it seems, for this Algonquin Hotel aesthete! ; Mr. John Mason Brown of the Evening Post did not reveal such a sensitive skin, for he asserts that “Mr. Wexley writes with the ferce of 2 man who knows the right 4s on his side - He hits hard and he hits unsparingly, because the most harrowing details are after all just so much grist for his mill » He shows the full cruelty to which the Negroes in his story are exposed after they have been unjustly arrested for rape.” Richard Lockridge in “The Sun” found that Wexley’s play “moved the audience to authentic shouts and hisses, and to such complete identifica- tion of the play with the story.on which it is based that the actors were often interrupted by partisan. ejaculations.” . . Mr. Ruhl Lays Awake Nights, Thinking RTHUR RUHL, the Herald-Tribune’s dramatic critic, was sorely troubled by the play, for he wrote his first piece on Thursd2y morning, and | followed it up with a second’one on Sunday. In his first review Ruhl complained that “the evening becomes not so much a play as a sort of ‘rally’~most of the spectators coming to have corroborated and strengthened opinions already made up.” Then he goes on to say that “third-degrees and the like are all very well, but there are imits to what ordinary spectators’ sensibilities may be asked to endure.” Too real for Mr. Ruhl, who must be a crony of that other sensitive plant, Gilbert Gabriel of the New York American! On Sunday Mr. Ruhl collided with a real inspiration. He discovered that “there are certain special émbarrassmenis in this particular subject at this particular time, which do not hold for propaganda play conceived in Jess topical form. We are dealing here with a case still in the course of judicial determination.” What would you have John Wexley do, Mr. Ruhl? Wait until the boys are executed? t Ruhl cogitates over the character which represents Ruby Bates, the white girl defendant who helped bare the frame-up against the Scottsboro boys. “This little slip of a poor white girl whom Ruth Gordon plays so appealingly, for instance. Was she actually like that? What would the girl herself say of Mr, Wexley’s “Lucy Wells,” for the real girl came no-th and was here in New York for a time, and is somewhere or other now, and can write letters?” * ‘ Ruby Bates, Herself, Answers Ruhl CTING on Mr. Ruhl’s suggestion Task¢d Ruby Bates to drop over at the Daily Worker office, and shé came in last evening. ‘I showed her Mr. Ruhl’s review, and asked her what she thought of “They Shall Not Die.” Said Ruby: ont “Tt really does r hole situation in the South. Ai that hasn’t been there will on understanding of what the peda really like. Lucy Wells--the girl.that takes my part—she’s very good in that. I liked that part of Lucy: Wells best: {t couldn’t be any better play. ‘The character itself was as good as ty could have been gotten, “Where Russell Evans comes in and makes love to the girl, that’s pretty well what happens in the South. (Some of the critics had panned the love scene in the play—S.'G.) Then when he brings the present to her the next day—instead of me getting a present of two dresses, I was made a present of two pair of. stockings. “The character of the woman supposed to be my mother was pretty i like my mother, what she said and all, although she didn’t look like er. x “The scene which shows my home in Huntsville is pretty mt ‘but much nicer than mine was, which was only a pabaed Dae ait no toilet, no heat, no gas or electric. We were supposed to pay $9 a month, but we never did have more than $1 or so to pay, but they took that anyway. You see, when I worked in the Margaret Mill in Huntsville T earned only $2.75 a week for-55 hours. I came to the mill at 6 o'clock in the morning and worked until 6 o'clock in the evening. “Y think if people went to see the play it would help the Seottsbore boys,” DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, FEBRU. THE LORD'S PRAYER PETER CONRAD ? WAS the first week in April, 1) believe Thursday. Our street had| been cut off early in the morning} and thoroughly <4 ched. It was/ toward evening wh. three cars full] of us were loaded vp and taken off} under heavy guard. In my car were| also Gerbert and Jussitzka and| Adolf and Franz from my party cell, and I believe there were also the| Zieglers from the next cell, In the! | other two cars were also a lot of ac-| | quaintances. We drove to the S. A./ (Storm Trooper) barracks, In front of | the entranze were waiting S. A. men} and many folk who had gathered from the neighborhood. We were unloaded very slowly one by one,| while the people screamed and threatened. Among the people for} example I recognized Blaugraeber, | who was our shoemaker for six years, and I recognized also the fat Engel woman, the shop-keeper’s wife. We passed a whole hedge of blows, kicks, spitting, shoves, Overnight we all stayed in a court- yard behind the barracks; on the right the rear walls of the houses on Gerbergasse, on the left the low wall | of Victoria school. There was just a) trifle of early foliage on the trees; there was nobody in the school gar- den, because the Easter holidays had been extended. | In the early morning the troop} leader comes into the yard, and with him at least a dozen people. He had) @ little under-officer always close by him, and when he yelled something | the little fat man stamped his foot} and yelled the same thing. The} ‘troop leader yelled, “Come on!” and} the little fat man stamped and yelled, | | “Come on!” Now they took a large group into the barracks and left a small group in the yard. Just about 8 dozen. WAS left in the yard, also Ju- sitzka, who was treasurer of the Free Thinkers, and Adolf and Franz from our cell, The rest I knew too, we all knew one another. We were read off from a list which had cer- tainly been drawn up the night be-/ fore from our official papers. So it was not decided by accident who were to be left in the yard. The troop leader yelled, “Fall in by fours!” | The little fellow scraped his heels on the prving and yelled, “Fall in! Fall in!” We then formed a square of | four lines of fours, At the four corners of the yard guards were stationed. The troop leader sta- tioned himself directly in the middle. | He yelled, “Hands up!” The little man also yelled, “Hands up!” We) swung our hands up; our shoulders seemed to be rusted fast. In raising my hands I felt the hand of Paul Gerber, who was standing by me. I felt his hand in the air, The troop leader yelled, “No! Fold | your hands!” The little man, “Fold ‘your hands! Fold your hands!” The troop leader yelled, “Now learn to | pray!” The little fellow kept on | stamping on the paving, “Learn to} | pray! Learn to pray!” I squinted) | along my line. The bald-headed man | | at the end, whom I did not know, | had his hands fairly together. over) his breast. Then came Jussitzka:} His hands wavered over his breast, | how up, now down. Gerber, beside | me, only spread out his thumbs. Then | I also only spread my thumbs up and | let my arms hang down. The little man yelled, “You won't ch?” and then the guards at the corners went along the lines banging on the unfolded hands. | My hands became mere lumps of | meat, blue and red, but that was nothing as compared with Paul's hands, Behind us they yelled and in front of us they yelled. The troop leader called, “Our Father, | Who art in Heaven,” and the little man called, “Hallowed be Thy name!” and claitered his heels till | I was crazy enough to shriek, be~- cause everything else was still. When I Spo Negro Leader Jailed by the Austrian S. P. Leaders By JAMES W. FORD This is in reply to an Austrian So- cialist worker who took exception to the parts of my speech at the Bronx Coliseum meeting on Feb. 15 in New York, in which I dealt with my ex- | periences both with Austrian workers - |and with social democratic leaders jn Austria, He esvecially d’sacreed | with my linking the social dem- ocratic leaders with the police de- partment. I want, therefore, to re- }late the facts as they were. In the : first place, how- ever, I want to express my fullest ‘support and soli- |darity with hon- est rank and file | Socialist workers, © whether in the United States or in Austria, who aave put up and are still putting up such a heroic fight against fascism. In the summer of 1931, I_ went to Austria from Hamburg, Germany, where I was then secretary of the International Trade Union Commit- tee of Negro Workers. I had gone to Vienna as a representative of co- ‘anial neonle and as a friend of the Soviet Union. It was at the time that the Executive Committee meeting of the Second International was meet- ing in Vienna. Social Democracy was ‘n power in Austria. There were So- cialist leaders from various parts of the world attending the meeting of the Executive Committee, including the late Morris Hilquit of the U.S.A. I had been invited to Vienna but when I arrived there comrades ad- visef me that if I should speak in Vienna at that time I would be de- ported from Austria and would not set a chance to sveak to workers in the interior, especially in the indus- trial centers. Subsequent events proved this prediction to be correct. I was therefore taken to Leoban, a large mining center, A meeting had J. W. FORD “Arise Ye Pris’ners of Starvation” RY 28, 1 Somebody behind me growled, “Hallowed be Thy name!” and two Others also growled. I don’t know who the chumps were; they were not in my row. The troop leader called. “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done!” the little man scraped on the paving, “on earth as it is in Heaven.” Suddenly behind me sings out Alfred, the fat little treasurer, whom I can recognize all right by his voice—he has taken my contribution fifty times—well, his feelings get. such a strong hold on him he simply sings out, “Arise, ye prisoners of starva- tion.” Then suddenly there fell a deathly silence, a silence like a wall around the song. We pull ourselves together, we move our jaws, we have so little saliva in our mouths that the singing goes badly. The silence explodes. I hear behind me a blow and then another blow. That is against Alfred's head amd against Alfred’s shoulder. We can feel in our backs how they drag him away. The posts drive us close together. They have drawn their pistols; the little man yells again, “Fold your hands!” Gerber actually raises his lumps of meat. I can’t help it. ‘They do it against. my will. My cursed hands. I squint at the bald-headed man. His hands are folded so fearfully tight that I think I can hear his knuckles crack. dJussitzka, who doesn’t have such pig-like hands, can make his hands obey him; his have stayed down, ‘The little man goes on yelling, | “On earth as it is in Heaven,” then | there is a whistle. The bald-headed man bends double; a calculated blow has fallen on his ear; he w->*s to hang on to his torn ear and at the same time keep his hands fo. So he doubles up and goes on pray- ing; “On earth, on earth.” ee ele oe troop leader goes on praying madly, as if the dish had already been set on the table, “Give us to- day our daily bread!” The little | man. yells, “Give us to-day! Give us to-day!” In the line in front of me there was a muttering. “Give us. to- day! Give us to-day!” Behind me have been thrashing the guards ke to thousand workers at this meeting, most of them were members of the Social-Democratic Party. They came to hear my message. The meeting had been arranged quietly, that is, without the knowledge of the local officials and Social-Democratic lead- ers. I spoke for one hour and many questions followed my speech. I »ointed out why colonial workers and opr” people had s* §: great love for the Soviet Union, because of its solving ct the national question and its sort and solidarity with op- vresseci people. I sycke on the Scotts- boro case. I contrasted the policies of the Second International on the colonial question with the policies of the Communist International— how the Second Internatignal leaders support the capitalist policy and its “civilizing influence in the colonies,” the civilizing influence of murder, misery and enslavement of colonial people, esnecially the coslition of the Socialist leaders with the govern- ments of nearly every big colonial power in the world. I pointed out how the Communist International stood for international solidarity and supported the national liberation struggles of oppressed peoples. These Social-Democratic workers of Lechan were shocked at the facts which I had brought to them about their Ic.ders. They had not known before exactly the role that their leaders were playing in capitalist governments in the oppression of co- “onfal people. They thanked me for speaking to ‘hem and expressed shame for their ‘eaders, but solidarity with the colo- atol were, “From Jechan I went to Gratz, the center of the most he- voice resistance against the Dollfuss government. I was taken by nitht in an automobile to Gratz in order to avoid the socialist authorities. But after my speech at Leoban the so- cial-democratic authorities had learned of my presence in Austria; they had waited for us at the rail- road station at Gratz, but we came by auto, T arrived at Gratz on the morning of Aug. 1.

They prided themselves on being leaders of the Socialist Party and opposed to Com- munists. “So you are a Communist, a friend of the Soviet Union are you? Well, We are, too, we have sympathy for the Soviet Union,” one of them said. I was taken through an inquisition. After perfunctory questions of birth, place, residence, etc., statements were put to me, accusing me of being a Soviet spy, of being an undesirable alien with designs against the Au- strian government. When I put the following question to the chief police, the questioning closed: “If you are a socialist and an internationalist and boast of friend- ship for the U.S.S.R. and at the same time make claims of democratio lib- erties in Austria, why is it that I am arrested while foreign socialist lead- ers are being banqueted and are speaking publicly in Vienna?” I was returned to my cell to await the de- cision of the judges. Meanwhile, they had got in communication with the social democratic police of Hamburg *nforming them of my arrest and re- turn to Hamburg. During the days of my imprison- ment the local capitalist and social democratic press carried slanders and caricatures about me. “Who is the strange blackamoor in our midst?”, ran one headline.
