DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1934 \ 3 Seven Piatnitsky’s Masterly ‘Jews Rapists,’ Say Those WhoSeek to eR, CHANGE a), ‘WORLD! By MICHAEL GOLD OHN CHAMBERLAIN, talented young literary critic of Kill Thaelmann By SENDER GARLIN WITH the sreatest writers Germany either murdered or exiled, the Nazi regime is show- ing the world some examples of its own cultural achievements un- of | der the leadership of Minister of the New York Times, feels he has been mishandled in | Propaganda Joseph Goebbels. this column. The Daily Worker believes in justice for every worker, including the literary man (the New York Times, on the other hand, specializes in defense of the god-given rights of the mil- lionaire). Despite Chamberlain’s peculiar fears that we would not dare to print his letter, we are doing so gladly. . : * . : “A Million Prisoners?” EAR MIKE: May I protest against what seems to me a distortion in your col- umn of Wednesday, May 23? You say that in the New York Times I “stated bluntly” that if the facts (about persecution of intellectuals and the number of prisoners in Soviet Russia) that are to be found in Tatiana Tchernavin's “Escape from the Soviets” are true, “then Amer- fean Communists had no cause to complain of the persecution of the Scottsboro boys, Tom Mooney and other martyrs of capitalism.” Mike, T said nothing of the sort. The Communists have every cause to complain of the persecutions. What I did say was this: That if the facts are true (and I asked Walter Duranty about the number of pris- oners), then they “confer a certain amount of disingenuous unction” on appeals from the Left for justice in the Scottsboro and Mooney cases, This has nothing to do with “causes for complaint,” nothing to do with rights and wrongs in the United States, It is merely recogni- tion of a fact—the fact that one’s character as a witness is always strengthened by having clean hands. If there are a million prisoners in Russia (and Duranty puts the figure higher), and if you believe, as I do, that this may argue an institutional hardening of the arteries in the OGPU, then the case of Communists justifying imprisonment in Russia and condemning it in America does smack of disingenuousness. Now, Mike, don’t get me wrong about Duranty. He may believe that Stalin has his reasons for sending certain people, in whatever number, to penal camps. And don’t get me wrong; I don’t “accept” “Ties as new weapons in the holy war against” socialism. If I were in the business of “accepting lies” I would have cheered for Max East- man’s book and for Malcolm Muggeridge’s absurd piece of spite. If you ‘will look up my reviews of these two anti-Soviet books, you will know that I don’t fall easily, even though I may fall in certain cases, I merely feel uncomfortable about “a million prisoners.” If you can prove to me either the falsity of the figures, or the justification for the figures, then I will withdraw my statement about “disingenuous unction.” You can print this letter if you like. Or, if it makes you uncom- fortable, you can treat it as private. Whether you print it or not, I'd like to have it explained to me why Russia, when it comes to a matter pf possible institutional shortcomings in such as the OGPU or RAPP, should be handled like an easter egg? I have never seen fit to sub- scribe to the belief that criticism should, in certain touchy cases, be withheld. More than a year ago I listened to some very pertinent criti- cisms of the Daily Worker by Benjamin Stolberg. I also listened to a denunciation of Stolberg by a newly-fledged Communist for making such criticisms. Today, the Daily Worker has changed its dress, taken on a liveliness and pungency and mass appeal that it once lacked (your pwn column is a case in point). Now, was Stolberg richt or wrong? And what harm did the criticism do? ® Yours, JOHN CHAMBERLAIN. . * * . Just Another of Those Things HE, book in question, “Escape from.the Soviets,” is. really beneath discussion. It is one of those familiar horror stories of Soviet life that the white guards, and their Kerenskyite liberal-socialist allies have been peddling around since the day Lenin first moved into the Smotny Institute. Walter Lippman once checked up and exposed over a hundred such brazen lies that had appeared in the columns of the New York Times during the course of a year. This book is merely a highly romanticized lie with the stale old Riga base. One little proof: the authoress says she is concealing her " real name, because of fear of assassination or the like. Hokum. The salons of Europe and America are jammed with such people, all of whom have made similar valiant “escapes.” They do not conceal their names; in fact, they hang on to them for dear life, with all the useless, putrid titles of nobility that are their only stock in trade and excuse for living. They strut, they make speeches, they or- ganize military regiments to invade Russia, they use their titles to advertise dressmaking shops, vodka, perfumery, and other luxuries. Some of them even write books, and tell romantic and malicious lies, and the western intellectuals who prefer the capitalist crisis to working class rule, fall over their adjectives praising these books. Does any critic ever check up on the facts in such books? Almost never. + * * * No More Olympus KNOW that you did not swallow Fastman’s and Muggeridge’s spite- ful books without some examination. And I know any man who writes a book review a day is a man in a great Hurry, and can’t stop to check up the thousand minute distortions and subtle slanders that are woven into the malicious tissue of books like these. Yet there is one thing that I woulé deny you and Stolberg and others of your group: your assumption of the right to criticism because of your disinterested impartiality. Freud and Marx both agree that such a state of mind is im- possible to attain. A man is either going to or coming from somewhere, politically. There are no “free lances.” Stolberg has for years been “escaping from the Soviets.” I assure you I have read a great deal of his writing in the capitalist press, where from that lofty altitude he “deplores” or “applauds” or even sneers and lies at the sweaty, fallible, hunted and heroic men and women who are trying to lead the American workers into something better than another imperialist war and crisis. Stolberg is not impartial. He is a bitter enemy of Communism, and has said it a hundred times. That is why his criticisms of the Daily Worker are repudiated. But if you had followed the Daily Worker for several years you might have read scores of critical letters by workers, complaining of the inadequacies of the paper. This is why certain improvements came about; and this is the way they should come: out of revolutionary self-criticism. We know too well where Stolberg and many others like him have gone; we know where they will be in the next war, and what they will do under Fascism or Communism. How could anyone believe his crit- icism to be that of a friend, when obviously, it is not? Does he wish us well? Of course not. Why listen to his advice then? As for yourself, John, I will confess that you are somewhat of a mystery to me. You have a Hen modern mind, which was formed and sharpened by your contact “ith the Marxist viewpoint. This ‘has given your criticism a solid base and originality that many of the other critics haven't got. But how can anyone, having even & imattering of Marx, and know- ing the class force$ at work today, naively ask the Communists if they are not being hypocritical in fighting for the Scottsboro boys and Tom Mooney, while there are also thousands of prisoners in the Soviet Union? Why, Tom Mconcy, from his prison cell, can give you the blazing answer to that taunt. There is a war on, John, between exploiters and exploited. Up to now, it has always been the working-class that has gone to jail, that has been framed up, given dollar justice, Ku Klux justice. Now when a few thousand exploiters and their intellectual allies must at last go to jail, you and others develop these sensitive con- sciences, and are “uncomfortable” about it. And you cannot under- stand why we fight for our own prisoners under capitalism. We are trying to build a world without jails, and the Soviet Union is the first land that is attempting it. I shall write about this to- morrow. Meanwhile, good wishes, and may you be able to resist better than others have the overpowering environment of a million dollar paper. It gets into the blood. and in a few years the man has changed 60 much that his best friends no longer can recognize him. e The most recent product of the Nazi printing presses a foul volume entitled “The Jew as Rap- ist of the Race” (Der Jude also Rassenschaender). .The book published by the semi-official “N. 8. Druck and Verlag,” which some time ago flooded the Nazi book markets with “Jews Looking at You” (Juden Sehen Dich an). Here are some examples of Nazi “scholarship” in a volume offered to millions of readers by a semi-official publishing house of the party of Adoif Hitler “Jews are spawn of the devil . . born poisoners of the race.” “Jews have an unquenchable lust to seduce gentile women and girls, and to drag them down into the swamp of their own deprav- ity is ‘For Jews have one common aim—the poisoning of the peopies of the earth. This is accom- Plished through sexual inter- course.” Monstrous as all this may seem, consider some of the following statements set down cold-blood- edly by the great Nazi “scholar,” “The Race of Rapists.” (From the Nazi book) Dr. Kurt Plischke, the author of “Der Jude also Rassenschaender.” “The Jewish race is the chief carrier of sexual diseases among the peoples of the earth. In view of the animal-like sensuality and the immoral habits of the Jews this is, of course, to be expected. [Page 17.] Since, however, Jews alone would hardly be able to infect the entire population. they have in- vented white slavery. “White slavery is almost entirely in the hands of the Jews.” The Nazi author concludes that “in the face of such a terrible danger there is naturally only one remedy — extermination,” and grows wistful about the Middle Ages when “physical contact be- tween Jews and Gentiles was Punished by death.” There follows an elaborate “analysis” of the Talmud calcu- lated to prove that this is the of- ficial handbook of the Jews in their plot to defile the Aryans. gn biog nackte Saitende Stat| ‘eso Beye ange ys Seashteer Sema Pe. Sebed sav Dep Bendaalen bot Ct in “Crucifying his victim.” (From the Nazi book) With an eye to rapid sales, the pues of the book has included a large number of pornographic drawings, thus providing for the first time an illustrated edition of the “Talmud.” The reader is re- galed with pictures showing Jews “spitting upon the woman of the Foreigner,” how Jews everywhere try to seduce blonde girls—at the movies, in automobiles, at the of- fice, and at night clubs. The girls are usually entirely or half- naked, the Jews black-haired, hook-nosed, apelike. The “intellectual” roots for this profound study of Jewish folk- ways is found in Adolf Hitler's “My Battle.” where one finds the original of that “black-haired youth, who, with Satanic joy'on his face, lies in waiting for hours” for the innocent blonde girl whom he poisons with his blood “in order to destroy the hated white race.” The author concludes with the declaration that “in the National Socialist revolution strong s. A. (Storm-Trooper) fists are at tine scruff of the necks of the seduc- ers of our German girls, who were surprised at their shameful deeds. This is no longer allowed, and the Jew is again becoming bold, When, therefore, demands the Nazi author, “will Jewish blood flow from the knife?” This is the murdersus Nazi regime which is now secking to carry through the execution of Ernst Thaelmann, heroic leader of the Communict Party of Ger- many.

The gypping of five cents has been raised to 25 cents and up to $4 and more. If they succeed further, the workers will owe the company money on pay day. New Metal finishers are being hired as students, while old ex- perienced metal finishers are be- ing laid off —A Murr: y Worker. Two-thirds of the workers in the Plymouth plant have been laid off, and nobody knows when they are coming back—if at all.

A Chrysier Worker. Here is how the settlement put over by the A. F. of L. officials in the Motor Products strike has worked out. In one department there was a gang of five before the strike, who were getting 40 cents an hour each for a seven- hour day. This meant $2.80 a day per man, or a total of Sit per day for the gang of five. 52277 AUS 30 1932 EXACTLY E#00.09CTS fice ge: Te 910 THIS CHECK NOT VALID IF DRAWN FOR OVER $200 aes day, while at present they are turning out 220 jobs with less men in the department. —A Plymouth Worker. There has been a 5 per cent lay off in the Dodge plant, but. production has dropped only 15 per cent. How do they do it? The answer is: More speed-up. They are also pulling the trick. of shifting men from one de- partment to another and start- ing them at beginner's wages, —A Dodge Worker. In the press room at Murray Body where I work, most of us get only about $10 to $14 a week, while a few of the bosses pets make $26. At the same time men are being hired daily and we who have been working here four or five months are being sent home due to “shortage of stock.” On the midnight shift they put out the lights during lunch hour and make us eat in the dark. —A Murray Three men have been crippled for life within two weeks in De- partment N-646, Motor Building, at the Ford plant, The most re- cent case happened about one week ago. A fellow had his foot crushed by ‘falling metal. After going to the first aid and having it dressed, he was forced to con- tinue working. Three days later his foot had to be amputated. —A Ford Worker. Worker. I am now working only two days a week at the Packard plant. One day the foreman called a bunch of us into the office and asked how many de- pendents we had. He made a lot of us think we were going to get laid off; then he used this as @ means of speeding us up. —A Packard Worker, The 40-hour week has finally reached the Hudson company. Now that the company is getting fewer orders, it has decided to abide by the N. R. A. code and put its workers on the 40-hour week. In a couple of weeks we will be on the 35-hour week, then the 30-hour week, then BINGO, we'll be lining up again in front of the souplines and welfare relief stations. —A Hudson Worker. The Chevrolet .plant is filthy. It may be General Motors, but it looks like general cecay. No coat racks; half the time you find your coat on the greasy floor being tramped upon. There are no wash rooms, just six wash bowls for 6,000 workers, or one wash bowl per 1,000. There are very few men here over 35 or 40> mostly young workers between 18 and 25, —A Chevrolet Worker. eee ee I am working at the open- hearth at Ford's dismantling junked cars on an average of 190 a day where previously we did 130 cars. The bosses are going wild trying to speed up to 225 cars a day. The workers must take off all door handles, hard- ware inside and out, also all glass, in 7% minutes. A second delayed, due to rusty screws and bolts, jams the conveyor line. Before we get through to the in- side of the car, the acetylene men are at work blazing away, cutting off drive shafts, motor hangers, steering column, etc. The intense heat within the car drives us crazy. Once a worker had trouble removing glass and found himself surrounded on ail sides by torch and sledge men, and he could not get through the doors. He had to break the rear glass and crawl out head first, and was lucky his head was not crushed open with a sledge, Because the boss never lets a worker stop at Ford's. After a day's work we are not only tired, but we can’t read or concentrate. Our mind does not work.

This accident was due to the intensive speed-up system in force. For a week and a half, the speed-up of the lines has been stepped up daily. On Satur- day the line was moving so fast that the men had to work at breakneck speed. The cars were | so close together that there was barely room for the men to stand between the cars, and many cars were actually touching, bumper to bumper. One of the cars be- | ing tested slipped off the revolv- ing rollers. Since the motor was running, and the clutch was in, it shot forward the moment the wheels touched the floor. It received 9 cents in pay. Her carfare alone amounted After the settlement, the men’s wages were raised to 50 cents per hour, or $3.50 a day per man. But Motor Products laid off one of the five workers in each gang, which means that they are now paying out to the gang the same amount as hefore, $14. The gang of four is speeded up to produce the same amount of work the five men did before the strike, —A Motor Products Worker. Thirty per cent of the workers at Ternstedt’s were laid off dur- ing the past week. At the same time the speed-up was increased. In Plant 5, third floor, in the lock department, the men have been cut 11 cents an hour. In Plant 5, Department 18, we used to get a guaranteed day rate, if we didn’t make the bonus. Now we only get what we make, which usually means a wage cut. —A Ternstedt Worker. eS SUR a I am an employee In the foun- dry of the Ford Motor Company, | better known as “the mad house.” If T had a mule and would curse and drive him as we are driven, I should be reported to the Humane Society.
