pi aii CHANGE ae | WORLD! By MICHAEL GOLD TO THE FAUGH BALLAGH BOYS Feed me steel The hot steel of revolt Let me eat the pigs Crisp and glowing in the mold Let me lead the demonstration Put me in the front of the ranks And when the cops come On the run Looking for easy meat Feed ’em to me— Iam O’Shaughnessey— Winner of a thousand brawlse— I’m hungry— And I’ve just waked up! JOHN EMMET YOUNG Irish worker diffidently handed me this poem a little while ago when I was speaking in Boston. Technically, esthetically, and maybe even politically, the poem has many faults. But it has one precious thing one does not find in the slick sonnets of Edna St. Vincent Millay, and that is the spirit of pro- letarian struggle. Wave after wave they come, to be crushed and to rise again. And they learn from their very defeats; when they rise again they are wiser and stronger: the Paris Commune jis drowned in blood, But from its lessons Marx teaches Lenin how to lead the Soviets to victory. The spirit of the undeveloped Irish worker is in this little poem— heroic, impulsive, emotional and rather individualistic. It is good raw material from which Communists can be made—and in Ireland today, there is at last a Communist Party to fuse this hot proletarian steel into a keen weapon against capitalist-imperialism. . * ’ The Usual Sell-out IGS are moving fast in old Ireland. The British imperialists thought they had neatly sewed up the situation in 1922, when as a-result of the epic struggle of the Irish Republican Army and the workers and peasants united behind them, the British established the Trish Free State. It was the usual sell-out, of course; the masses did the fighting, but the bourgeoisie took the spoils at the conference table. We have seen what is happening in Cuba, where the masses will not accept a similar betrayal. And the Irish masses have never been satisfied with the hypo- critical treaty and sham Free State. They knew they had gained nothing from it, and for a time, de Valera was able to trade on this feeling, and at last ride into power. But if Cosgrave was the Machado, De Valera is the de Cespedes of the Irish revolution. And now, since last June, an Irish Communist Party has taken the field to fight British imperialism and Irish fascism. It is growing every day, and will make world history one of these days. * * . Nazi Propaganda IN COLLIER’S magazine for April 21, you will find a story about a dachshund, “The German,” written by that British stuffed shirt, Hugh Walpole. This Walpole has always been one of those “spiritual” types of British author, above the battle, a friend of love, Jesus, flowers, cathedrals and kind hearts. Yes, indeed, and a most popular lecturer before women’s clubs in America, and: an “authority” on literature in such places as the Saturday Review, Well, it may be Berlin gold, or it may be that St, Hughie has genuinely seen a light on Damascus Road, or it may be that he was always this way under the false, simpering mask of a tolerant liberal, but the gentleman has turned Nazi with a bang! He tells us a story of a sentimental bourgeois family that are always taking up causes. During the war they are pacifists and defend the Germans. Later, as a result of Versailles, they adopt a dachshund to show their friendship to Germany. But the Nazis come into power, and they turn the dog over to a Jewish family, which is too “coarse” and “vulgar” to understand a sensitive dog’s soul. Then what happens? The family goes to several anti-Nazi meet- ings and are suffocated by the bad smell and boredom. Also they read in the papers that Hitler really is a pacifist. Also, after all, “Hitler is restoring German hope and confidence.” So they go pro-Hitler and take back their poor dog from the unfeeling Jews. “And at this same moment Hitler was saying to Goering: ‘We will make a new world!’” “And in Berlin, Hitler was taking the salute from one hundred thousand passionate-hearted men.” Thus writes Mr. Walpole. If a Communist author tried to slip such bare-faced and mawkish propaganda into a story the liberal edi- tors of Collier’s would of course reject it indignantly. It wouldn't be art. It wouldn't be what the public wants. Tt might be a good thing if some of the readers of the Daily Worker who also read Collier's write a letter to these editors. . . . They Are Petty Snobs ee lie that Hitler is building a new world comes most attractively to the ears of many bourgeois intellectuals. Confronted with the enormous evidence on every hand that capi- talism is a horrible ruin, they find it impossible any longer to go along the accustomed ways. They know some social change ts inevitable. But the working-class repels them, because essentially these authors are the most stupid snobs. Yes, there is no other real reason; they are vulgar, petty, mean-hearted snobs, with all this implies. And they need the familiar hierarchy of capitalism to preserve them in their snobbery, so they find a thousand evasions for not accepting the working-class world. . But, it is fatally necessary that there be change. With a class in- stinct that is really admirable, they discover virtues in the Ku Klux Klan of Hitler and Mussolini. They discover great economic pro- rams, faiths, mysterious new worlds. You cam do anything with shetoric, if you are an intellectual. * * * intellectuals Turn Left—Also Right Ue drift to fascism among American intellectuals is still going on. Tt is something that must not be underestimated. It reflects wider currents among the middle classes, and is undoubtedly a drift Mr. Ku Klux Hitler is stimulating with cash, as was suggested by the case of Dr. Wirt, and his Nazi friend, Rumely. But at the same. time other intellectuals are beginning to dis- cover that the only hope of the world, the only way to end war, pov- erty, and the insanity of nationalism, is the Communism of Marx, Lenin and Stalin. And masses of workers are discovering this, too, John Emmet may express this crudely in his poem, but the intellectual Hugh Wal- pole expresses his fascism in a vulear form that would sicken any worker to read. And Walpole is supposed to be an educated man, not. a worker who has to labor with his hands, Fascism degrades everything it touches. It is noteworthy that not one decent novel or poem has come out of Italy or Germany since fascism took power. Fascist culture is based on bombast, sadism and ‘he perversion of science. It is really the end of culture as we have snown it in the history of mankind, but Communism is the true in- heritor of the great tradition of the human race, and carries it on with banners flying.

Both defendants are former pupils of Irma Duncan. Mignon Verne toured the Soviet Union dur- ing 1931, and was for a time asso- ciated with the Isadora’ Duncan Dancers at the Park of Culture and Rest, as well as dance critic of the Moscow Daily News, The defendants point out that the Isadora Duncan School of Dancing is in existence under the direct. supervision of the Commis- sariat of Education and is training thousands in the mass dance. Irma Duncan, who is not related to Isadora Duncan, came to the U, S. in 1928 with a Duncan group, consisting of 11 girls between the ages of 18 and 19, some of them orphaned by the Revolution. After the expiration of the period set for the group to perform here, it was learned that Irma Duncan had sought unsuccessfully to get the children to renounce their So- viet citizenship, and urged them to accept music-hall contracts here. When the Russian children re- fused to renounce their allegiance to the Soviet Government, Irma Duncan refused to pay them $1,000 due them, and left them penniless. The day before they were to leave the U. S. she seized their costumes, curtains, etc., that Isadora Duncan had provided when she founded her Moscow studio. Moreover, through a court order she attached the trunks of the young dancers, and had them seized on their way to} the boat, but the trunks were apt recovered. The Dancers from Moscow created a sensation when they came to the U. S. in 1928. At the fourth anni- versary of the Daily Worker, thou- sands of workers crowded into the | Manhattan Opera House in New York to witness their performance.

Audience Rouse DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, APRIE 20, 1934 d by Theatre Union Production of “Stevedore” Play of New Injunction Sought to Bar Perforn Orleans Negro Longshoremen | Seethes. With Struggle “Stevedore” Ranks High in Revolutionary Drama; Outstanding Negro Cast By HAROLD EDGAR There are too many important aspects to the produc- | tion of “Stevedore” the play by Paul Peters and George Sklar | which the Theatre Union opened on Wednesday night to deal with adequately in a first review. We shall probably have} occasion to come back to it many times in the course of future | articles. Let it suffice for the moment to say that it is an intensely exciting, thoroughly rousing, and in every respect pro- vocative play. Argue about it as one may, pick flaws here and there, it has a steadily mounting dramatic line that reaches a climax to which no one can remain indifferent, To put it mildly, it gets you. The special merit, moreover, of this play is that for almost the first time in the recent history of our social drama, we are presented with the image of successful revolt in immediately effective, plausible American terms. The spectacle of temporary defeat from which one may derive a bitter determination to carry on the struggle is, of course, the natural and realistic ending to most plays which set out to describe the beginnings of any revolutionary movement. But there comes a time when an audience in the theatre demands the even more inspiring Picture of the struggle at the mo- ment of high hope, direct action and concrete advancement: the mo- ment which symbolizes for them in the most inescapably graphic terms the possibility of achievement, the break from suppressed discontent to the flame of combat and triumph. The final scenes of “Stevedore” and the whole spirit of the acts which precede them have a forward ted: . the ie Recital Tonight When Edit By JOHN L.

The Red Squads, especially that under Capt. Hynes of the Los Angeles Police Department, is much more successful in working with these vigilantes. I assume it is bee cause the vigilantes either know or sense that the Silver Shirts is a racket for the leaders. This sense of racket comes over even those not thoroughly familiar with their work. The past activities of some of these fascist leaders has been made public and the vigilantes look with askance upon them. For instance, the following are the oute- standing fascist leaders in this hot~ bed of fascist, development: ‘: Capt. Eugene R.
