By MICHAEL GOLD HE writers are always among the first to feel when an old system is breaking down. A serious writer must have ethical and moral values to guide him, a philosophy of life, or he is merely an entertainer. Capitalism can no longer furnish these values. Those who support capitalism have to drape the old, poisoned corpse. They must refurbish theology, and medievalism and Bonapartism, all the stale ideas mankind has tried and found false and dangerous. If you wjll read one of the magazines of the Fascist intellectuals in this country, you will find, under the glittering verbiage and historic eclecticism, nothing but the ugly skéleton of the philosophy of Wall Street, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Steel Trust Allen Tate, for instance, is a brilliant stylist; ideas he communicates through the medium of this style may essen- tially be found in the abysmal mind of the meanest, most degraded, illiterate, hate-filled, superstitious deputy guard watching a Georgia chain gang. but all the basic Can You Repeal Darwin? human mind has gone through some sort of evolution. The science and art of the centuries since the French Revolution cannot be as easily destroyed as these fascists would wish. Communism is the in- heritor of the great democratic and scientific tradition. More and more intellectuals are beginning to sée that to fight on the side of Commu- nism is to fight for the culture of Montaigne, Voltaire, Shelley and Blake; Darwin, Freud, Einstein arid Karl Marx; in America, the tra- dition of Jefferson, Paine, Walt Whitman, Thoréau, Emerson, Mark Twain; the social humanitarianism of Jané Addams, Ben Lindsey, and Eugene V. Debs, the ideals of the men who fought for public schools in America, and against black slavery. It is not Communists alone who have presented this as the funda- mental line-up. If you will read, I repeat, such a magazine of academic fascism as the one edited by Seward Collins, you will find these lit- erary fascists defending black slavery and white slavery, as frankly, belligérently and literally as did their grandfathers in the Civil War. They repudiate everything democratic and humanitarian; they re- pudiate the whole basis of science, and advocate a return to the the- ology of the Middle Ages; they wish to wipe off the pages of history all the progress made since thé French Révolution, and they see their true enemy in Communism, which is the one force in the world today that can fulfill all bie Beton of the democratic revolution. . . A Dead or ving World? , the choice becomes plainer every day between two great world philosophiés—on the one hand, the Fascist-capitalist dogma that this is a static world, in which slavery is permanent, a world of fixéd Classes whose nature is determined by a capitalist God. On the other side are ranged the armies who believe, with science, that the world is fluid, and can be, changed and mastered. Poverty and ignorance and fear can be finally eliminated, and a new hu- manity created, a new classless society, a super-race. The fatal wound in the fascist philosophy ts that it attempts to restore the past. It would return the workirig class to their status of medieval serfdom, and imposé again on the modern intellectuals the dogmas of a St. Thomas Aquinas. Can this be done? Of course not; no more than a grown man can wish himself back to the empty ani- mal peace of the womb. Fascism has all the strength of a disease; it is a gangrene, and will do its worst until finally eliminated. And intellectuals with healthy instincts and normal human minds are beginning to fight it, and to fight the strange intellectual perverts who have become the cham- pions of this universal death. The battle is on. Hitler Has Classified Things! ‘OWHERE has this fundamental line-up been more clearly demon- “stfated than in Nazi Germany. The Brown Shirts began their regime by a symbolic act that startled the world. They assembled every book that had traces of mod- erhism. not only Marx and Lenin, but the novels of Thomas Mann and Romain Rolland, the studies in psychology of the Freudians and their successors, essays in feminism, progressive child-training, biology, and other post-Darwinian progress. Then they made a bonfire of these books. They put themselves on record as the enemies of all modern culture. And the human carriers of this culture, the professors, physicians, women, political leaders, have been tortured and exiled until Germany is an intellectual desert. It is all very clear and plain, and it should be as plain to the intel- lectuals everywhere that the fight of the Communist Party of Germany against the Brown Beast is their own fight. * . . A World Issue—Thaelmann! [O, IT is not necessary to be a Communist to understand that Hit- lerism can only be destroyed by helping its fiercest and most cour- ageous enemy — this same Communist Party of Germany. Under- ground, hunted like animals, in constant danger, these prol¢tarian heroes are preparing the great day of justice. The intellectual world once felt the necessity of overthrowing the Czar, and there was always a great world current of sympathy, re- gardless of party, for the revolutionists who performed that sanitary job. Today, it must be as apparent that when a Communist leader like Ernst Thaelmann is on trial before the Nazis, he is not only repre- senting Communism. He is representing the world that created the books burned in the famous medieval bonfire. The Nazis want to kill him. The workers of the world have said that he shall not die. There will be mighty demonstrations in all the cities of the world to save this man. It is time the intellectuals made this their issue, too, for they are as deeply concerned. . Wake up, writers, scientists, artists and students of America! Leap to the defense of Ernst Thaelmann. Organize your demonstrations, too, write to the German Embassies in protest, fill the magazines and newspapers with your burning words of ndignation at this crime! If the Ku Klux. Klan conquers América, as Hitler has Germany, you will be the first victims, and you know it. Now is the time to fight. By snatching 'Thaelmann out of the hands of the German lynchers, you can strike ‘a tremendous blow against fascism and its threat to culture. Swing into action. You have helped Tom Mooney, the Scottsboro boys. You hélped save Dimitroff. You can save Thaelmann, also. It must be done. It is your fight. In this war against Hitlerism the life of Ernst Thaelmann has become one of the major issues. Throw yourselves into this battle, and help us win it!

Reviewed by GRACE HUTCHINS By 'HEN the International Women’s Congress Against War and Fascism meets in Paris, July 28 to | 30, delegates from Italy, Germany and other fascist committees will come at the risk of their lives. No one under fasgist rule is legally per- mitted to say even a word against war or against fascism; imprison- ment, torture, execution, result if a worker speaks out against Hitler's or Muséolini's regime. Women as well as men have been the fascist jails and Brown Houses. But very little about this sadistic terror under the Black Shirts and the Brown Shirts appears in the writings of classroom liberals who discuss pros and cons of fascism, its development in Europe, and its chances for growth in the United States. ETTER than most of these books, but still a typically liberal, cool and detached discussion is Carmen Haider's Do We Want Fascism? She avoids drawing conclusions, for the most part, but her facts show that after eleven years of of Italian national production has not increased. Unemployment is widespread. The level of Italian real wages has fallen below the 1914 level. “criminal” and declared illegal. Communists are periodically sent to prison or to the penal islands by the hundreds. The book touches lightly on the betrayals by Social-Democrats in |Italy and Germany. It does show that Social-Democrats played into Mussolini's. hands by favoring peaceful evolution and parliamen- tary methods, and by considering it their duty “to apply brakes to the popular movement.” In Ger- many the author describes the Social-Democrats as gradually be- coming a conservative party, mov- | that only an active working class movement can prevent the success of fascism. Her discussion of fascist. trends in the United States, however, is weak, Nothing is said of monopoly under the N.R.A., nor of the true significance of the Swope plan and of other proposals as paving the way for fascism. Nothing is said of the increasing violence used against the workers, particularly Negro masses. * * * IN describing the Communist Party in the United States, Miss Haider in effect plays into the hands of the ruling class by dismissing the only revolutionary working class party as “limited” in its appeal to the American working man. She there are great numbers of Negroes in their ranks”! The American Workers’ Party she regards as if it advent of fascism.” If it is still. true, jacket states, that Miss Haider “commands the confidence of the | Italian government,” then it is p1 foundly to be hoped that she write another book some day which she shakes that confidence in Co., | On Imperialist War tortured, even beaten to death in| Mussolini’s dictatorship the volume | Strikes are regarded as) ing step by step to the Right, hold- | ing the workers back from struggle. | |She does come to the conclusion | the revolutionary workers and the! actually says that is “partly because | were a fighting force “opposing the | as the book} and comes out clearly and strongly! \for the fight against war and fas-' c Women in Factories trategic in Fight Ss | Not a Shopping Trip to Pari On the of this page you read about the Congress and |) Jearned the object of sending | these working women delezate They are to meet with their f low workers from ail part world and plan action—vigor and united—against war and fas- By SASHA SMALL OUGH the centuries women have been assigned the task of giving their sons and husbands for the glory of—” whatever it happened to be called at the time, and then they were glorified in sloppy senti- ment for “béing brave” and weep- ing quietly for the lovéd ones they “gave.” About 50 years ago when the women's suffrage movement swept over the whole world it carried along in its wake a string of paci- fist societies. Women openly as opposed to war. War is wrong. War is wicked. War should not happen. But no program came along with this movement—no con- crete program of action that could effectively mobilize wide masses of women for a fight against war. There were millions of reams of paper covered with phrases and | resolutions. Thousands of miles were covered by delegations to legislatures asking them to enact laws—vague indefinite laws like Senator Nye’s, which wants the government to take the manufac- ture of munitions out of the hands of the private munition profiteers. As if you are killed any differently by a bullet manufacturéd in a gov- ernment factory. Then, of course, there was the stand taken by the Socialist Parties before and after the World War started. Before the war started they gave lip service opposition to the struggle against war. But when the time came to do something about it, the worthy leaders of the Socialist Party in France called up- on their members to defend the fatherland against, the ravages of German greed and their fellow party members in Germany called upon the workers to defend the the French. And so on all around the world—the Socialist Parties be- trayed the workers into the trenches of the imperialists. UT there were voices of revolt. In 1915, in Switzerland, Clara Zet- kin defied the commatid of the ex- | ecutive committee of the Social | Democratic Party to the contrary and called an International Women’s Congress Against perialist. War. The leaders of the social democ- racy arrested Clara Zetkin, placed her in a concentration camp and did everything in their power to prevent the Congress from taking place. But the Congress did take place and almost every European country was represented. Leaflets flooded into the factories and mills where women worked. “Working women of the world,” > ths leaflet written by Clara Zet- kin called, “this imperialist robber war is wiping out millions of healthy young human lives. This war is a war for profit. The capi- talists are fighting this war with the bleod of the people for the maintenance of capitalist slavery.
