By MICHAEL GOLD HE following letter, calling for Communist organization among the white-collar classes of America, is written with some heat. Probably it is because the writer is closest to the white-collar worker, and sees that enormous Ameri- | can problem in all its present seriousness and intensity. | fast | It is only a short while ago, a few years, in fact, since groups like the Fellowship of Reconciliation were debating solemnly whether the lower middle class should cast its sympathy with the fac- tory workers and farmers, as aginst capitelism, or whether they ought to remain as neutral as God. There was always a patronizing air about such debates. When middle-class people would decide to “do something for the workers,” it was always in the unlovely spirit of the settlement house worker, who brings something from above. Their withers were unwrung by the economic struggle, it seems, and if they supported strikes or working-class movements, it was out of @ gratuitous generosity, and only for the most soulful reasons. . . . . No Subject for Gloating IODAY this group has been crushed by the depression, and has lost most of its feelings of security and superiority. They are being pro- letarianized in great masses, as Karl Marx predicted. And lest any fool believe that this is a matter for Communist gloating. let us say here and now that it is not; but that Communists regard this great spiritual tragedy, for that is what it is, as one of the most damning indictments of the horror of capitalism, and a major reason why it should be rooted out of the world like cholera or any other fatal pestl- lence. For this is the group that up to now has borne the burden of sci- ence and art. It was not the J. P. Morgans or Henry Fords or William Randolph Hearsts, or even the Coolidges and Roosevelts, who wrote the poems and symphonies, or who invented new machines, or taught the future generations, or built the houses and charted the planets. It was the millions of underpaid teachers, doctors, scientists, tech- nicians, artists and writers who did this. It was they who were really building what we call civilization, and not the profiteers. It was they who redeemed America from sinking into the barbarism of the dollar- hunters. In this depression many things are being made plain, and one of them is, that it is the capitalists who are enemies of culture. Every- where in: America they are making a savage drive on the publie schools, social welfare organizations, and the institutions for art and science. ‘These things do not “pay” any cash returns, it seems. But it is the working-class that fights for this civilization, and many of these pro- HAT the John Reed Clubs are}! learning how to organize heir work along specific channels |of literary and artistic activity is jevidenced by the growing number | of magazines they publish and the | | | |cellent journalistic feature, dealing definite progress to be observed in the contents of these magazines. | The fifth issue of “The Partisan,” a | literary-journalistic monthly com- ing to us from California. helps us realize this fact all the more clearly. | The present issue, as the previous | ones, contains a number of lively | articles on themes of immediate interest, besides stories, poems, art, theatre and film reviews, and short | notices of books.

The collectively created | Pacific Coast News Reel is an ex- | blows to such jingoes as William | Randolph Hearst and his creature, | Easley of the National Civic Fed- | eration, who is an expert in pro- | moting the red scare. Harry Car- lisle writes on “Dumping the! Dumps,” and Philip Stevenson on | “Ben Franklin vs. Modern America.” This latter article is the only | feature in the paper which seems rather out of order, gether damaging to the ideological clarity of this militant publication. Stevenson goes out of his way to Prove by scraps of quotations that | if Franklin were alive today he would take a stand against capi- talism—and all this on the basis of a few general remarks in Frank- lin's writings in which he pro- tested against the exploitation of the poor. Such an approach to Franklin seems to me to wipe out historical boundaries, representing 8 gratuitous attempt to psycholo- gize Franklin rather than to see him historically as one of the lead- ing protagonists in the American bourgeois-colonial revolution. “News Item.” the story of an un- employed worker who commits sui- cide, by Alex Spartan. has enough punch to it to outweigh its lack of | direct. political content, which we must expect from stories appearing if not alto- | CLEVELAND.—Russel T. noted Cleveland proletarian artist, at the May Show of the trays a worker trying to escape from der camp killed by the charged barbed wire. was awarded first prize by a reactionary jury, be- cause of its technical excellence and in spite of its | content. for showing.
