.| WORLD! CHANGE —— THE — By ASHLEY PETTIS Batting for Michael Gold Stokowski and the “International” H Yee newspapers have seemed to consider the announcement of the singing of the “International,” at a concert of the Philadelphia Orchestra, as possessing those elements which constitute “news.” The hymn of the world proletariat was sung at the instigation of Leopold Stokowski, conductor of the orchestra, at a recent young people's Concert in Philadelphia. When one considers the long record of Leopold Stokowski, the interesting occurrence of the singing of the “International” does Not scem astonishing. It would have been more surprising, and indeed to have been “news,” had that arch-conservative Dr. Walter Dam- rosch, or, say, the D. A. R., ordered the singing of this song of universal import, There are always those critics who eagerly impute base motives to unexpected deviations from conventional procedure in the acts of Stokowski. So the familiar ery of his attempting to gain pub- licity will undoubtedly be made. But let us for a moment consiter his record. For many years Leopold Stokowski has been a leader in the presentation of new and revolutionary mysical works in America, He has made many interesting experiments in public concerts, some of which, such as his attempt to combine color and music, he has abandoned. Particularly has he led in the presentation of significant new music from Soviet Russia. Stokowski, being not only a man of ideas, but practical ideology—that is, thought translated into action— it is not to be supposed for an instant that his actions, in their long and consistent course, spring from false or ulterior motives, or from a vulgar desire to attain notoriety. A man of ideas, action; in the prime of life; at the height of his career, he has given of his best unreservedly towards the stimulation of interest in revolutionary cul- ture. He did not turn left because of a change in the tide of his personal affairs, nor in a mad scramble to climb on the band wagon, but because of deep inner conviction and a true grasp of the reality of universal thought. Hence, what could be more consistent with his record, and ap- 4 propriate, in the midst of changes of a universal nature, than the singing of the “International” at one of the concerts of the Phila- delphia Orchestra? New Works for Young People N ITEM of real significance in the news despatch of this event, that it was the occasion of a “young people’s concert.” Last season, in his disgust at the failure of one of his adult audiences to react to the performance of new music, and a subsequent demand by the patrons of the Philadelphia Orchestra that he curtail his performances of modern music, Stokowski declared that new works should be presented to audiences of young people, as only they were sufficiently open-minded to listen without pre-conceived standards and prejudice. This statement brought a long and heated attack in the daily press, headed by Dr. Walter Damrosch. So it was con- sistent with Stokowski’s well-known views, that the revolutionary song of the toilers of the world should be sung by those whose minds are still fresh and fiexible, which are not solidified into forms derived from false conventions and traditions. Another significant point in the published despatches of the singing of the “Tnternational,” was the demand of Stokowski that it be sung in French, saying “he had been unable to find an English version which did not distort the meaning.” Last season, Mr. Olin Downes, in an article purporting to be on the subject of Soviet Musie in the Sunday New York Times, referred to the relative value of musie which sprung from various revolu- tions; specifically contrasting the “International” with the “Marseil- leise.” The inference to be drawn from this article was that the “Marseillaise” was produced by the French revolution, and that the “International” had its origin in the Russian revolution. The fact of the matter is that the creation of the “International” long an- tedates the Russian Revolution, having been written by a French world-revolutionary, Pierre Degeyter, about 1870, It was originally written in French and inevitably loses in translation, consequently the request of Stokowski for the original language, is understand- able. Its universality of content, its sentiments which are applicable to the downtredden of all mankind, irrespective of time, place, or condition of servitude, have served to make it the song capable of inspiring to action and uniting the oppressed of the earth. The news despatches stated that after the singing of the “International,” the orchestra broke forth into the strains of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and the “Red incident” was over! Quite justly, while Seemjng to palliate those who might object, by the inclusion of the national anthem, Stokowski did not hesitate to place in close just- aposition the universal and true with jingoism and flag-waving. ‘The news incident of the event, as reported in an Associated Press despatch of March 28rd, stated that a “Furor—greeted the famed conductor's announcement that the Red Anthem would be placed on the program.” That a furor was created we do not doubt. We cannot place similar credence in the concluding statement of the Associated Press report that with the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner “the Red incident was over.” No Sob Stuff in the Movies For Children in Soviet Union By ALBERT LEWIS T= Soviet Union does not forget the education of its children, and the latest picture of Mejrabpomfilm ls a stirring example of the new type of training that must be given to the children of the proletariat, actively engaged in a class struggle. No longer the ridiculous sentimen- talities of a Lord Fauntleroy, or the romantic, idealistic caperings of a Baby Peggy, or a Jackie Coogan, but the realities of a life filled with the needs of the fight for bread and better living conditions. The new picture is called, “Torn Shoes" (Rvany Bashmaki), and the actors are for the most part chil- dren between the ages of one and a half to thirteen years. The “hero” is a lad of three and a half. The story takes place in some town in Germany (as have most of the recent Soviet pictures, participat- ing in the fight against Fascism) in a workers’ district. In one Com- munist worker's home, we see the three children, awaiting the return of their father to sit down to din- ner. The little girl is joyous at the prospect of meat, but when the father comes home with the news of the strike and future unemploy- ment, the mother breaks into tears at the thought of not being able to give the desired meat, the child’s feeling of guiltiness at having caused her mother’s suffering. Then, their school, the older boy, await- wear the same pair of shoes, as his own are impossibly torn; the groupings of the children accord- ing to their parent’s social state, fascists and social democrats ranged against the Communists; the teach- ers and their removal from the class struggle; the children engaged in a terrific physical fight, when the little fascist leader tries to tell them that they must defend their country against the unpatriotic workers; the children organizing a committee and brigades te assist during the strike; the younger ones, less than six years of age at work on the garbage dumps sorting re- fuse to earn a few pennies from a swindling overseer; finally, the demonstration and the police shoot- ing down the workers and killing little Bubi, tartare Let it not be thought that the picture makes of the children po- litical propagandists, It is on the contrary filled with actual life of the children, their childish joys and Pleasures, their games and conver- sations, but they too are part of the economic brutality, the victims of capitalism, and they function in that struggle as little heroes. No longer feeding them with the fantastic melodramas and pretty escapes of a dream world, no lo: the ex- pressionist portrayal grotesque unrealities, but children, longing for joy and toys, and happiness, caught up in the merciless exploitation of a world which thinks only in terms of dollars, and their heroic answer to the question, how will they re- spond to a fascist dictatorship, The film suffers from its episodic character, the story not being equal to the marvelous acting and lr bilities of these children, ant director, Barskaya, is a woman who is more skilful as a teacher than a movie director, yet considering the many difficulties of working with children, the worthlessness of rehearsals, their change in voice, their ease for distractions, one must conclude that her accomplishment is unusual. But’ its more signifi- cant aspect is that children can no longer sit in the classroom or play in the street oblivious of the world of their parents, as they never have been. They, too, must an active part in the world revolution, DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1934 In Soviet History Enters 3rd Part NEW YORK.—Moissaye J.

MORE HUMOR IN THE “DAILY” I would like to suggest that you try to add some more humor to the contents of the Daily Worker. So far the only humor is that which is added through efforts of Del and Gropper. Both now are indispen- sable, they are as much a part of the “Daily” as the “Change the World” column and Dr, Luttinger. A good column for humor would be “Red Sparks,” or “Bright Say- ings.” We should take the solemn expression of the captains of in- dustry and ridicule them. There are enough heard every day to make quite an interesting survey, and at the same time to expose them. You known biting sarcasm is pretty ef- fective as a weapon. For example in this morning's Times there is an interesting state- ment by P. H. Johnston, as to the cure of speculation. He says that the only way out is to change the human being. That sure is a pretty good solution for the problem! Of course the joke of it is that he offers a solution which he least of all is likely to take, Well, we have a better solution, just take it all away from the capitalists so that they cannot gamble with our lives.

Tuckerman, N. Y., Viking Press, 1934, $2.75. oes eae Reviewed by A. G. BOSSE URANTY is undoubtedly the cleverest writer and best re- |porter in the pay of the American capitalist press. He has until Bul- litt’s appointment been looked upon as @ substitute for the lacking American ambassador, so “auth~- | oritative had he become... But. any- !one who had followed his dispatches |for the past dozen years knows that |he is one of the most dangerous writers on the U. 8. 8. R. He distils a subtle poison, the worse because so heavily perfumed at times. Tuckerman has made a very poor selection, if one regards the book from the point of view of a survey of Soviet developments, though a good one for a disciple's tribute to Duranty. There is scarcely a men- tion of the great economic triumphs of Soviet technic — Dneprostroy, Magnitogorsk, Stalingrad, Soviet science, military achievements, the great sabotage trials, ete. The five years, 1924-28 are virtually skipped over. On the other hand, much | space is devoted to his pet hobby, | religion, to philosophizing on Rus- sian folkways and Marxism. There is some fine writing on the famine and on Lenin’s death and |the mass reaction to it, probably the best section in the book, There is also an excellent characterization of Stalin, made in January, 1923, before the outside world knew much about him: “, , , One of the most remarkable men in Russia and per- haps the most influential figure here today .. . during the last year Stalin has shown judgment and analytical power not unworthy of Lenin.” On the other hand Tuckerman, with Duranty’s consent, very signi- ficantly omits dispatches such as those of Nov. 29, 1931 (‘The Bol- sheviks, even under Lenin, were un- able immediately to get free from this old heritage” (Red Imperial- ism, as against Poland in 1920 and China in 1927); or a dispatch of June 14, 1931 which was headlined “Red Russia of Today Ruled by Stalinism, Not by Communism; He (Stalin—A. G. B,) Has Reverted to Autocracy of Harly Ozars.” The famous fable of two millions starv- ing last year is also omitted, as are many other boners or vicious falsehoods.

He states Lenin’s only great mis- take was the call for world revolu- tion after the workers had seized power in Italy, Hungary, Bavaria, etc, saying that it incited inter- vention. The implication is that counter-revolution and intervention would not have come otherwise, either by the Allies or Entente. Thi: has been Duranty's attitude always, and today he is especially vocifer- ous in declaring that there is no danger of capitalist attack on the Soviet Union. After the references above to red imperialism, it is) strange to hear him say (just a few months earlier—June 25, 1931) that the Red Army is “purely de- fensive,” and will remain so in the future: “Europe's nightmares of a ‘Red horde’ sweeping forward to world conquest, are, in my opinion, 1 either anti-Soviet propaganda tout court or atavistie bogies of Attila, | 1 Tamerlane, and the Turks.” Such contradictions are the usual gyra- tions of the liberal. In his preface Duranty lauds the N. Y. Times for the “complete freedom” it gave him in handling the news. He neglects to mention the vicious headlines it puts on even somewhat favorable stories, and the | mosquito editorials of Strunsky. He 1 does speak of the “more imaginative or less cautious correspondents” in Riga, Helsingford, and Bucharest, without seeming to realize that his own N. Y.
