New Life in the John Reed Club Dear Mike Gold: I recently noticed in your column several slighting references to the John Reed Club. It seems to me that you are rather unfair to the comrades in the John Reed Club, who of late have been active in a number of projects of great value to the revolutionary movement. Although not a member of the organization, I am, however, well acquainted with its work, since I am a subscriber to their magazine Partisan Review, and attend the various forums and lectures which they organize. i A number of years ago it might have been true to say that the. writers of the John Reed Club were sectarian, but a Treading of the two issues of Partisan Review will convince anyone, in my opinion, that this sectarianism is done with, In fact I believe that Partisan Review has not yet been rightly evaluated in the move- ment. It is the first of our literary magazines to have struck a sober note, having put an end to the “leftist” hysteria of the past. The short stories that it has published have on the whole been as good technically as any that I have read in good bourgeois collec- tions. And ideologically too they hit the bull’s eye. The poetry printed in Partisan Review is probably the best that has been seen yet in American revolutionary literature. It is charged with political actuality, and yet at the same time maintains a high standard of artistic achievement. It is never a fabric of depersonalized slogans as happens to be true of so much revolutionary poetry today. The criticism seems to be written by writers who, besides being revolutionists, are also familiar with the traditions of literature and with the precise relation of forces on the literary scene. Too many comrades believe that the effectiveness of a book review, for example, can be measured by the height of its temperature, This, of course, 4s the fallacy of sectarianism. I believe that you, as one of the leading | Young, of the Daily Worker Washington Bureau. Granville Hicks, author of literary editor of The N Masses will act as chairman.

Dear Mike: The ILD. is now preparing for the celebration of its ninth anni- versary on June 28. In this connection we are especially anxious to obtain materials on the early history of the I.L.D. and copies of printed matter—pamphlets, leaflets, Labor Defenders, etc., that have been pub- lished in the nine years of the I,L.D’s existence. Your column is probabiy the best place in the country to appeal for such materials. I wonder if you would do this for us. What we need particularly is pamphlets published by the LL.D. prior to 1931 and all sorts of posters and leaflets around various cases and campaigns carried on by the I.L.D, We have very little material, for example, around the Gastonia cases, around the Sacco-Vanzetti case, the Mooney case, ete. We have practically no pampblets published by the 1.L.D. prior to 1931. We need any loose copies of Labor Defenders prior to 1932, We have no copies of the Labor Defender for June, JUSTINE WISE TULIN, Asst. Corp.
