CHANGE ——THE— WORLD! aS '] AS THE CRISIS deepens, t America. By MICHAEL GOLD he cult of nudism grows in Maybe it’s because more and more Amer- icans find it impossible to buy clothes. Or maybe it’s be- cause the morals of the bourgeoisie are breaking down in the depression. Or maybe it’s genuinely for health reasons. It is true that plenty of sunlight on the body makes a man or woman feel better. I myself am a sun-worshipper, and take as much sunlight as I can. What I can’t understand is why you have to do it in mixed circles, without a breechclout. Th fact, you can get as much sunlight ere’s something metaphysical about the reasons the nudists give for their mixed bathing. As a matter of if you wear a pair of tights or one of those new Florida sunsuits for women. Anyway, the cult grows, and this summer will see a lot more of it than last. Many businessmen with summer hotels that were bank- rupt on their hands have gone into the racket, It brings a lot of busi- ness. Fake doctors, lecturers and magazine writers, all the swarm of intellectual adventurers, are flocking to the new honey. - The animals of the fields ha’ ve always been nudists, but never bothered to write books about it, or develop philosophic reasons. They just do it. In Russian there has always been mixed nude bathing, and still is, but nobody makes a fuss about it. and people are simple and natura’ Tt is an old peasant custom, 1 about it. In this crazy bourgeois civilization, simple things like this become the source of cultism and a furor of talk. It is really quite unimportant, however, alongside of the real issues that affect the human race. * . There Were Three Million in Germany 'T IS interesting to note, however, that in Germany there were formerly some three million members of the nudist groups. The cult was an expression of a mass protest against the old bourgeois German pastimes such asy beer-drinking. It was a have gone to a foolish and unnecessary extreme, it was tied up with | greetings. cult of health, and though it may the ideal of a healthy social order. Hitler suppressed all these nudist and nature-lovers societies at once. offended by the fact that people for joy in exposing their bodies to the and people with such normal insti normal Hitlers of this world. * Communists Are Everywhere ‘This notorious pervert and butcher of the working-class was ung some psychological and physical sun. Without a doubt, sun-bathers incts are a menace to the dark, ab- * * ANY Communists were to be found in nudist camps in Germany. But it is interesting that fascists everywhere persecute the nudists, ‘There is actually an organization in this country, with headquarters at Washington, D. C., which calls itself the American Anti-Nudity League. Recently Dr. Jane B. Coates (not coats), its executive director, wrote a hot letter of protest to the Governor of Virginia. Ht seems that some nudists have been planning to esteblish a nudist colony near Herndon, in Fairfax county, Virginia. “We are calling your attention to the fact that within the boun- 'Chu-Teh Calls for ‘More Support to| |Back Heroic Fight) | At the beginning of this year the | | Chinese Anti-Imperialist Alliance in | | San Francisco initiated a campaign | |to support the Chinese Red Army. | \'The campaign was enthusiastically supported by both Chinese and} | American workers.

This letter ap- |peared in the March 1 issue of “Chi-Poa,” an underground paper of the Communist Party of China, which reports the victories of the Chinese Soviet Government and its | Red Army, and is widely circulated | among the workers in Shanghai and other big cities. The letter) reads as follows: | “To American and Chinese Workers in San Francisco and All Fellow Workers in America: “In spite of the miserable condi- tions under which you live in im- | perialist-capitalist America, you} succeeded in saving a part of your | hard-earned wages, amounting to) $100 gold, to help the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army of China.

And Dr. Coates, who has been silent all of her fifty years, probably, on the daily injustices done in Virginia, leaps to action like a crusader on the matter of bathing suits. I think somebody should steal her bathing suit from her, and let us see What is really in her mind. * * * * . For Mental Nudism | WISH there would be some kind of mental nudism. The physical nudism is really a bit trivial. I would like to see some way by which every capitalist liar were to be stripped of his rhetorical clothes. Suppose you took all of President Roosevelt's fine noble oratory away from him. What would be left? The nudist fact that he is trying to save the cruel system of private profit. Suppose you took the purple and fine linen of theology away from the preachers of every church—Jewish, Catholic, Protestant and Mo- hammedan. What would the body look like? It would be a gross bestial figure tattooed with dollar-signs. They talk of spirituality and im- mortality, etc.; but these are only superficial clothes; the body under- neath is capitalism. Or the school teachers, the literary men, the scientists, all the into clothes with which to hide their horrible nude beliefs, their sub- servience to the exploiters of the capitalist systm. called Sartor Resartus, But he was a bitter Tory and one of the fore- runners of fascism. It would be interesting to see what a revolution- ary working-class satirist could do with this theme, | Film-F oto Tour on Coast Brings Subs | forWestern Worker, Members for C.P. cultural policemen of capitalism—what a mass of lies have they spun | Carlyle once developed this theory of mental nudism in a book | LOS ANGELES.—The January tour of the Film and Photo League for the Western Worker, resulted in 81 subs for the Western Worker, 28 members for the Communist.

In addition, 4,400 workers saw the “End of St. Petersburg,” and local class struggle films deal- ng with the El Monte Berry Pick- ars strike, the anti-war demonstra- don in San Diego, and the great Los Angeles County Hunger March jemonstration. I In Modesto a showing of the Los Angeles films was announced Feb. (6. Three days before the showing the C.W.A, laid off 700 in Modesto, and Modesto bosses did not want these workers to see films of the class struggle, as the fired C.W.A. men were in a fighting mood. Im- nediately a campaign on the part of the bosses and the fascists was started to sabotage the showing of she Film and Photo League. The Public Library advertised a counter- x a's showing of bourgeois films—free of eharge. The American Legion or- ganized a parade to march to the hall where the showing would take place to intimidate the workers. At the Jast minute the fire chief was sent in to inspect the building .. . at night. The fire chief could find nothing wrong with she building and stayed for the sho’ of the workers’ films, not leaving until the showing was over. TRANSLATORS WANTED NEW YORK.—The national office of the John Reed Clubs needs as- sistance in translating numerous critical articles on Marxism and literature and art from the Russian, German, ete. Translators who are willing to contribute their services should communicate with Alan Calmer, acting national secretary, 430 Sixth Avenue, New York City. Texts, including volumes of criticism and files of magazines such as Linkscurye and the Literary Gazette (U.S.S.R.) are also needed. / “STEVEDORE,” NEW THEATRE UNION PLAY, A special pre-view performance of “Stevedore,” the gripping, pow- erful play by Paul Peters and George Sklar, marked the opening of this second production of the Theatre Union.
