f DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1934 Page Seven | CHANGE ——THE — “WORLD! By SENDER GARLIN VEN before Plechnov wrote on the social basis of art, scores of heads were undoubtedly broken over the issue of art and propaganda. Prof. Rexford Guy Tugwell and the other Columbia University boys, who are now members of Roosevelt’s “Brain Trust,” would most assuredly insist that there’s nothing that spoils a “pure work of art” so much as propaganda. In fact, up on Morningside Heights, with the exception of a few young, lone wolves who are tolerated because of their brilliance and comparative obscurity—most of the members of the department of Fine Arts, as well as Comparative Literature, could cite all the author- ities to prove the irreconcilability of “art” and propaganda. It is therefore interesting to see just what the Roosevelt adminis- tration is encouraging in the way of belles lettres. A writer by the name of J. Alvin Kugelmass, who gets the lordly wage of $19.23 as a Cc, W.A. worker, was recently assigned by Administrator Hopkins of the C. W. A. to fashion some poems that would make the foreign-born just love capitalist America. Some of this creative work appears in The American News, a paper published by the Language Research Institute. Just take a sideswipe at this: Something there is That takes me from my house To my old country . . I see again the little street, The green houses on the way To the water, the white bread, Red fruit. , my old mother . . Then— Here I am in America My new country, where live My new friends, Now very dear to me Here, too, is the bread well made The water clean and the Meat red. . . Here I can work and live . Here in this country are New things, new ways and Thoughts, big houses, big Like the men who made them Here I can live and be happy. Here’s another one: A working woman has her house, As nice as nice can be, And cleans it every day so well, It’s beautiful to see. A sleeping woman sits and sits, Her house is always cold, Her meat and coffee are no good, Her eggs are always old. Here you have a picture of the art and literature created by the “Roosevelt Revolution.” . * * Ezra Pound Takes His Pen in Hand 'ZRA FOUND, who deserted the United States many years ago, be- E cause he found bourgeois America inhospitable to the creative life, is one of the demi-gods of the “super-class” writers. now he has lived in Rapallo, Italy, a defiant expatriate. Me has now become a feryent supporter of the weird “social eredit” schemes of Mejor Dovglas of England, whose engagihg slogan is “make the poor richer, and the rich richer.’ There are a number of these “super- class” literateurs in the United States, who too haye become ardent advocates of Major Douglas’ monetary program. There are, for instance, Gorham Munson and Archibald Mac Leish, in whose six poems, “Murals for Mr. Rockefeller's City,” Michael Gold was the first to find the literary seeds of American Fascism. . . IKE GOLD got a very interesting letter from Ezra Pound, just before he took temporary leave from this column, Mike wrote an answer to that letter and I had the good luék to find the carbon copy. “Dear Mike,” wrote Pound, ignoring all the conventional rules of orthography (spelling), “sorry you wont stand up to the bat and answer questions. Your party wd \/ be stronger if you did, “Shd/. also like, as matter of curiosity, to know if New Masses has been posted toward me during past year. “., . For general you cd/ use the enclosed; Not that I suggest you agree with it/ but as sample of capitalist conservative (deletions mine—S. G.) “Oxford Times remarks that BE. P, was onee a good poet etc. ‘but SINCE HE HAS CAPTAINED A REVOLT OF YOUTH (WHICH I8 NO PART OF THE POET’S BUSINESS) he has sacrificed, it seems to us,-his finer sensibilities to an intoxication brought on by the lund flares, the erash and stench of revolution.’ “Cheeuhs// at any rate I do think the putting an end to the perfectly needless misery inherent in the pre-Marxist world is a damn sight more important than my reputation as a stylist. “You might note as extenuation that I DID GET ARAGONS poem ‘The RED FRONT printed in England, where I think no one else cd/ have done it/ or any rate not so soon, and NO ONE ELSE DID. “So far as I know, only one of about 30 reviewers of the Active Anthology quoted it, (mest of ‘em too busy falling over Bill Wms’ wheelbarrow—there the comment is that the ballads (meanfhg Bunt~- ing’s curse on jook of Northumberland for oppr'ssion of peasantry) and rhetroic are poor substitutes to offer the edderkated man in ex- change etpooreeter, Esra Pound.” Mike Gold Lets Him Have It! IKE, in reply, didn’t draw in any punches and let Hara have it. “I am amazed,” he wrote, “that you write to people like myself. | with newspaper clippings, letters, Personally I cannot feel friendly to anybody who is a Fascist and who spreads the confusion that you do. What in hell is it all about any- how! “How can you say you had Aragon’s poem printed in London when | comparison is unthinkable.

But if any single book | pictures the reign of Brown horror in Hitler's Germany with eomplete artistic sobriety and graphic ac- curacy, its is Heinz Liepmann’'s book. Liepmann has not isolated his ac- counts of torture chambers and concentration eamps from the grow- ing mass poverty, unemployment and starvation of the German workers. He has made it clear that} the Brown-shirt terror is not the unexplainable doing of madmen but the deliberate policy of a govern- ment which can matntain itself in the face of lengthening labor agency lines and shortened relief allow- anees only by mass murder. He has made it clear that the rubher truncheons and the axes of the Storm Troopers and the heads- men descend not only on Jews and Communists but on the entire work- Ingelass of Germany which grows daily more unified in its hatred of Fascism. Above all, he has given an inspir- ing pieture of the revolutionary; forces, under the leadership of the Communist Party which are grow- ing daily more powerful in their progress toward the armed destrue- tion of Fascism. * * ‘Two Communists, one of them re- turned te Hamburg after a long sea voyage, are discussing the work of the underground Communist Party: “Since you have been away there has been a great change in our organization . . . Within a short time we have had not only to discover the defects in the new apneratus, but also to improve it that we should be able to work and win new recruits under even the worst terror.” “and?” “And teday our organization is almost invineible . .. You see, com- vade, fate is repaying our im- prisoned comrades for the ‘errible sufferings the are enduring—and it is repaying us, too; never at any| previous time has the movement made sueh definite progress. The Social Democrats are working with us, and the intellectuals. . . “They are working for the Com- munist revolution?” “No, the only thing we are all working at now is against Fascism, against barbarism, against the Mid- dle Ages. You must remember that! Many of those who are working with us, especially the intellectuals . . . tell us quite openly that they are not Communists. But they are against barbarism...” Thus Liepmann pictures the gath- | ering foros which under the lead- | ership of t*> Communist Party will wipe Fascism from the earth. In the foreword te his beok Liep- mann declares: “There is not one character whom I did not know personally, not one incident, which I did not see with my own eyes or which was not wit- nessed and described to me by some friend whom I have known for years and for whose reliability I can vouch. I will answer with my honor, my livelihood and my life for the fact that all the incidents in this book have actually happened.” ee ING from this passion- ate guarantee of his accuracy Liepmann tells his story simply and soberly in a fictional form which is dictated by and completely sub- ordinated to the presentation of his | facts, ‘The crew of a fishing vessel re- turning to Hamburg after a long voyage gets its first knowledge of tne ah changes which have taken place in their absence when they see vessels sailing down the Elbe bear- ing the Nasi flag. Their seeond introduction to Na- tional Socialism comes when they fish a bloody but still living body out of the water and restore it to life. The man whom they have thus saved thanks them for their kind- ness and quietly throws himself | overboard again rather than face) the possibility of re-capture by his Nazi torturers.

His part was in every respect as despicable as that played by Ambassadors Welles and Caffery in the recent reyolutionary strugeles of the Cuban masses ‘Washburne’s official dispatches to his chief, Hamilton Fish (grand- father of the Red-ba: Cong; |man Hamilton Fish, Jr.) who was the then U. 8S. Secretary of State, | reveals him as a liar, braggart, hypocrite, and a participant in thi murder of thousands workers—in other wo: type of an ambassador. Throughout the Commune, Wa burne was the only foreign diplo- mat who retained his headquarters Is, the perfect imperialist American jat Paris instead of moving to Ver- sailles, where the reactionary Thiers government was seated. He was granted every privilege by the Com- munards during their rule ef 71 days; every request he made was promptly and courteously granted by them. But nowhere in his dis- patches dees he give credit heey Commune for its treatment of him; he took it as a matter of course. The Communards reposed their | | faith in him throughout, and all the while he with his entire staff was the Thiers crowd in Versailles, and in the last bloody days helped to turn over the Paris defenders to the executioners. Although, even in his dispatches he was forced to admit that Paris under the Commune was peaceful enough for him to take and leisurely carriage rides through the entire city, in perfect saf he continually referred to the Co mune as “an orgy of crime, cendiarism, cruelty and blood.” official dispatches column Recollections’) repeats every piece of gutter gossip in- in- His (and his two- knew be true that might reflect on the| reactionaries. When the Commune was at the peak of its power, and Paris most peaceful, he spared no intervention by false reports and “anticipations” of destruction of property of American residents in Paris. The unsurpassed courage of the Communards death against insurmountable odds is thus depicted in his dispateh to Fish (May 22, 1871): “The fight continues ... The firing was ter- rifie all last night. We can see emphasis], that hated emblem of assassination and pillage, anarchy and disorder, still flies from the Tuilleries and from the Ministry of Marine. The insurgents are evid- ently making @ desperate resist- ance.” His communications and later ac- counts contain not a word of sympathy or admiration for the forty theusand proletarians who bravely went to their death in de- fense of their class, but there are pages of sentimental slobbering de- tails of the execution of the counter-revolutionary archbishop of Paris. Contrast this cold, smug account of this cowardly attack and mass-murder with the touching concern for the house of Thiers, which was burned down by bitterly resentful workers in venting their hate of the murderer who was even then mowing down their husband: sisters and brothers, It serves as @ monumental piece of unconscious, irony: “The work of the demolition of the house of Mr. Thiers in the Place St. George progresses (May 16th.) The hatred and rage of the Commune against the chief of the executive power su! al! bounds. The inaurrerticnist Journal Official of this morning has another decree in relation to the subject, providing that all linen found in the house should be sent to the hospitals; that all the objects of art and valuable books should be sent to the Pub- Ye Library and National Mus- eums; that the furniture should be sold at public auction after being exposed in the sales-rcoms, and that the products of the sales should go to the widows and orphans of the victims of the war [emphasis mine—A. D.], and the same destination should also be given to the proceeds of the materials of the house; and lastly that upon the site of the hotel of the parricide shall be estab- lished a public square, Mr. Thiers had lived in this house for nearly half a century, and it was there that he composed his great works and prepared the speeches which he had delivered at the French tribune, and there he had received the most celebrated poli- tical persons and savants of the age. There he had gathered the rarest works of art, books and mass, that were to be found in all Europe. Sach vandalism is without parallel in the history of civilization.” (Emphasis mine. — A.

The A. F. of L. union leaders told their members that they did not dare risk a too vigorous protest which if not met, would force them to call a strike.
