It is, as every candid observer must admit, the response of the workers to the wage-cutting, union-busting and monopolistic tendencies in the N.R.A. The workers are beginning to find that their A. F. of L. and Socialist leaders were wrong in assuring them that Mr. Roosevelt's reconstruction plans meant a utopia for the man in overalls. | The pay envelopes of the nation and the cost of food and shelter and clothing are rapidly losing contact with each other. Yes, the workers are moving, sometimes blindly and spontaneously, always bitterly. They cannot help themselves—these economic deci- sions are forced on them. And the church, the press, the radio, the police machine-guns and Police provocateurs are being used against them, in defense of capital- ism. Recently Hearst and others have revived the Red Scare, that mean, bloody weapon of the hypocrites who cannot keep their big profit machine going except by these ferocious lies. * * . A Historic Parallel IOMRADE J. J. S,, an unemployed history teacher in the New York schools, has spent some of his enforced leisure looking up the background of the Red Scare in American history. “The Red Scare is not modern at all,” he writes. “It 1s a ruling class | gag almost 150 years old. American Communists in 1934 are faced with | the same barrage of calumny and slander that met the democratic- agrarians in their struggle for power against the mercantile-landhold- ing government at the end of the 18th century. “In 1776, the farmers and workers took up arms to free themselves from the British empire’s exploitation. At the end of their successful war, however, they discovered they had set up a native capitalism that oppressed them as badly as had the King and the London speculators. “Instead of a Crown there was now a Constitution. It had been drawn up by capitalists, landlords and other Hamiltonians. “Shays’ rebellion and other proletarian revolts showed the dis- illusionment of the masses. | “And the great French Revolution had an enormous impact here. Just as the Russian Revolution of 1917 brought hope to the oppressed workers and peasants of the world, so did the French Revolution be- come a railying point for the masses in America.” The Fever Helps the Masters “(ITIZEN GENET, representing the French revolutionary govern- ment, came to America in 1793. An armed coalition of European monarchs was attempting intervention in France. “Citizen Genet demanded that the United States, bound by treaty and honor, support the Revolution. The masses rallied behind him en- thusiastically. But American capitalism was bound in its economic in- terests to England, and ignored the plea of the French emissary. “John Adams wrote describing one of the demonstrations of the time: ‘. . . 10,000 people in the streets of Philadelphia day after day | threatened to drag Washington out of his house and effect a revolu- tion to compel the government to declare war in defense of France.’ “Only an epidemic of yellow fever at this time saved the United States ‘from a fatal revolution in government,’ Adams wrote later as his opinion. . “The plutocrats quaked in their buckled shoes. Fisher Ames, an aristocratic stock-jobber of the period, and a Federalist, called for the government to use all its force to put down this revolt before it grew too strong.” - * * . They Invent the Red Scare | “MUT hundreds of democratic leagues were set up everywhere, to de- fend and support the French Revolution, and to overthrow the wealthy classes who had captured the American government. “Tt was then that the young American capitalism first invented its favorite cowardly weapon: the Red Scare. “We have heard a great deal about Moscow gold in this country recently. But in 1793 it was called French gold, with as much truth. weeks after his arrival Citizen Genet had distributed more than 9.900 Ice-d'or (French gold) to the democrat-societies, was the charge made by William Cobbett, a spokesman for the Federalists. bia successful example, the promises and above all the GOLD | of the missionaries of insurrection and anarchy in Paris have embold- ened the American anti-Federalists to show their heads,’ wrote Cobbett. “Yes, these early revolts of the American farmers and workers against their first exploiters was paid for by a foreign government, said the reactionaries. Just as they blame the events today on Moscow, very often, instead of on their own greed, inefficiency and ruthlessness.” * . . Yes.

As the Rev. Timothy Dwight thundered, when he was picturing the horrors of an America ruled by farmers and workers: “Is it that we may behold our wives and daughters the victims of legal prostitu- tion, soberly dishonored, speciously polluted, the outcasts of delicacy and virtue, the loathing of God and man?” That sentence certainly rings with all the fervor of a Hamilton Fish or Will Durant. ‘Well, they put that Red Scare over and kept the country safe for Plutocracy. But in 150 years the working class has learned some his- tory, and red scares, even Hitler’s colossal one, don't go over as easily as they once did. we Film Industry Topic WHAT’S ON of Lecture Tonight at 9 p.m., at the headquarters of the Film and Photo League, 12 E. 17th St., by Harry Podolin, on the a Industry—U.S.A. and US.

Without reverting to the desperate martyrdom of the populists under Czarism, we have seen in the Balkan States numerous intellectuals—particularly teachers—pay with their lives; we throw themselves heroically into the fight against the infamous white terror, side by side with the workers from the factories and farms, It is necessary today that this alliance expand and multiply | against the fascist plague, which (4 is infecting all the countries com- prising five-sixths of the globe. It is necessary that the intellectual do his part and assume his re- sponsibility at this crucial point in the battle being waged between the exploited and the exploiters, between the carriers of colonial civilization, imperialism and serf- dom on one hand and social jus- tice on the other—between capi- talism and socialism, Let it not be a question of the @ brilliant few, let it be a mass the ensemble of the “brain workers” army which has been organized and not leave the proletariat to defend alone the ca which is the cause of all living beings and which is the ideology constituting a superior phase of the human spirit. Besides, definite signs are showing that this movement is gradually expanding. In England the campaign for liberation of the Leipzig victims has brought into the fight great per- sonalities of the scientific world. fraternized with workers at monster mass meet- ings in ardent anti-fascist demonstrations. Another phase of class struggles—the bloody events in Aus- tria—has given new warning to a section of English intellectuals.

Clark has been drinking this week. We know a guy feels bad now and then, but when you are a delegate of the Marine Workers Industrial Union your drinking days are over. The kid was making for the door so I made for him. Mac got to him first and took him over in a cor- ner. I followed, knowing Mac would try to pep the kid up, thinking I could help, “Listen,” Mac says to the kid, “I know how you feel. Take it easy for a minute.” The kid sits down. -I pipe up with, “You might as well sit and take it. Mac is going to give you an ear-beating.” The kid grinned at that. “Listen now,” starts Mac. “T) heard you make that report tonight about how hard some of those rebels are to line up in the union. I know ‘how you feel about it. I felt the same way only a little more than @ year ago. Them rebels suck it all in with their mothers’ milk about. blacks being inferior to whites and tight down the line all that.

I get a shot of java from the urn, makes a sandwich and sets down. He is kind of old, over forty. Hard to tell how old. He’s got a dark brown face with seams that look like they haven't had the sweat and dirt washed out in months. His eyes are sharp and bright.” “‘Hot t'night,’ says the old fel- jow, swiggin’ at his -coffee and chewin’ at a big sandwich he'd made,” “ Yeh,’ I says. I couldn't keep my eyes off his adam’s apple, the way it run up and down his thin neck. “How's she? Good feedin’ ship?’ he asks, “‘Not bad.
