LaGuardia was tired and weary from the 90-mile automobile Moreover, he had put in a hard week’s work and was badly in need of rest and relaxation. Several days earlier the mayor and his police commissioner, General John F. O’Ryan, had put the finishing touches on the formation of a rifle squad of 1,200, equipped with bayonets, to put down any “labor troubles” that might arise. The mayor was still somewhat upset over the wave of protest from workers’ union organizations. “Lovely Towns in Italy” organizations against the order to register leaders of trade Mr. La Guardia was badly in need of a rest. N LA GUARDIA’S honor, the Socialist A. F. L. officials prepared a specially printed program. A reader of this column has sent it along to me and it lies before me as I write. Done in three colors, it is truly an attractive bit of art-work. Colors, did I say? Yes, the three colors of the bloody fascist regime of Mussolini—red, white and green! “Italian Dinner” are the words inscribed on the program, and it is dated Sunday, July 29, 1934. And just as La Guardia has turned over “the keys to the city” to visiting fascist dignitaries on various occasions, so the socialist leaders ment Workers Union, in turn did Hall. of the International Ladies Gar- honor to the little fascist of City “The Keys to Our City” are the words daintly printed on the second page of the program. “This week-end,” it reads, “we pause during our International tour, at a lovely town in Italy.

In the name of our Union and our Italian locals, we welcome to our modest countryside, the mayor of the world’s largest city.

Under the management of the ‘Socialists’ Josephson and Mailly, Tamiment entertains its guests with species of entertainment that would be a credit to Hamilton Fish, Jr., the notorious red-baiter. “For cheap vaudeville, jim-crow skits and red-baiting and even Jew-baiting scenes, this camp has outdone everything I have ever seen before. It would be difficult to find such tripe even among the Broadway ‘art for art’ sakers. For three successive Saturdays guests have been entertained with the usual song and dance numbers, stupid suggestive ‘wise guy’ skits and petty-bourgeois romantic scenes. “This, however, is not enough. Each week there has been pre- sented at least one skit of the vilest, most reactionary type. One week we were treated to a scene showing the Negro ‘on the road to emanci- pation.” From his jungle days with his native dances, to the days of slavery with his spirituals, the Negro finally becomes ‘free and happy,’ as announced by the commentator, Free, happy and united with the white man to dance to the tunes of wild jazz in a Harlem dive. crowism?

The next week: a scene showing three old Jews with long beards and ‘kaftans’ singing ‘Aiy, aiy, aiy,’ then breaking into old czarist songs. Then the third Saturday came with a red-baiting scene that even burlesque has abandoned. It was sup- posed to be a take-off on a Communist worker, showing an individual with a long, red beard, harranguing a group at a street corner. This was preceded by a stupid song called “Communistic Love.’ Can any- thing more be said?” I don’t think so, + Not to be confused with Camp Unity, the workers’ camp at Wingdale, N. Y. PPNING..

Back of the California “Vigilantes” “Terror Cannot Smash Workers’ Fight for Life Itself” By ORRICK JOHNS (Former Secretary, North California branch Committee for Defense of | Political Prisoners) | IN 1931-32 two great movements) were. maturing on the Pacific Coast. Upon these movements hung) the only hope of the great masses of | California workers, reduced to con-| ditions which make some historical forms of slavery preferable. No more than the dumb ass-of burden, or the draft beast of the plow, could the majority of these people raise their levels of existence or even be heard in their own defense. ‘These two great movements were the welding together of urban work- ers and agricultural workers into new organizations, with a clear pro- gram of struggle, and with honest and fearless leadership. The condition of the city workers’ had been growing worse for a gen- eration. They had unions, but these unions had become nothing but stalking horses to conceal corrup- tion and cowardice. At the head of them sat sly and wily bargainers, long calloused in secret councils, such as Paul Scharrenberg and Michael Casey of the San Francisco Labor Council. Under their hypo- critical thimble-rigging, wages fell, | privileges disappeared, the very fact of union became a sham and pit- fall. Mooney was framed, scores were railroaded under the criminal syndicalism laws, the unemployed starved, militant organizations were undermined, workers were shot, Ku- Kluxed, tortured, while Scharren- berg, Casey, King, et al. smiled like fat monks, counseled “peace” to the obedient and conspired with the em- ployers and police. ‘The condition of the agricultural workers was somewhat different. Most of them were that commodity known as “cheap foreign labor,” eagerly imported by the growers in the days when the profit on sweat was the biggest item in the fruit and vegetable fortunes. They had no unions at all. Or if they had, they were company unions, spawned to suppress every struggle. Work- ers died in the infernal fields of ditch-water and fever. Nobody bothered. The first demands of the Agricultural and Cannery Workers’ locals were for shower baths and/ drinking water. But shower baths meant machine guns, drinking water meant terms of from 6 to 42 years in San Quentin, Who has seen a hundred young/| vegetable-pickers lined up in the side of a field, by deputies gun in hand and searched — for what? For weapons? No, for union cards. What did Scharrenberg and Casey do when six Vacaville fruit strikers were flogged and tarred by respec- table citizens led by a justice of the peace? They whitewashed the mob in an official statement. What did they do when @ cam- Paign was conducted in 1933 to re- peal the criminal syndicalism law of California? Scharrenberg, working with his friends in the Judiciary Committee, first denatured the re- peal bill, and then conspired to have it lost in the legislative dead house. In the effort to build up honest, clear-thinking and energetic unions of the rank and file to displace the snake-nests of the old guard, in the task of bringing them together into a strong political movement, the Communist Party took a leading Bark, . * 'HE response among the toilers was immediate. New words, “union” and “fight” ran through the cities and the countryside of Cali- fornia. The docks, where men were Finds Short Stories in Philadelphia JRC Magazine “Leftist” Left Review. Vol. 1, No, 3: Pub- lished monthly by the John Reed Qlub of Philadelphia. Vincent Norman Halli, _ editor-in-chief. Price 15e. Seay yea Reviewed by JAMES McCLURE Ts editors of “Left Review” point out, with understandable pride, that this issue is “larger and more representative than previous is- sues.” It is also, on the whole, better written and better erlited. Several new writers are repre- sented, and though some of the poems, stories and reviews can scarcely he called finished pieces of writing, none is entirely without interest. One of the most interesting things in the issue is E. Clay’s long review of Granville Hicks “The Great Tradition.” Clay discusses the book carefully and sympa- thetically, pointing out Hicks’ omis- sions, particularly in the field of Negro literature, but giving him full credit for pioneering work. The most finished piece of fiction in the issue is Vincent Norman Hall’s “The Education of Johnny McCool.” All the stories in the issue, except Robert Whitcomb’s chapter of a novel, show mechan- istic, or leftist, tendencies. Whit- comb's piece veers off in the other direction entirely. It might have been written by one of the old “transition” group. ae ne editors print a letter from Ezra Pound, pompously called “Address to the John Reed Club of Philadelphia,” with notes an- swering Pound’s statements. The notes are adequate but the editors missed an opportunity for a discus- sion of Pound’s recent pronounce- ments in general. The notes of the Philadelphia John Reed Club, review of the art exhibition, ete., are welcome parts of the magazine. The issue shows a notable aim to be a complete “Organ of the Philadelphia John Reed Club,” The larger size is an advantage. There is no reason “Left Review” should not become igs OE ERD. gin Oe cats When Police and “Vigilantes” Attacked Workers’ Head aunt tare shuffled into and out of ill-paid, spine-racking jobs like nameless counters, or black-listed if they gained a name, began to thunder with the words: “union” and “fight.” Communists helped these awaken- ing workers to build headquarters, showed them how to make their demands heard, established schools of workers’ culture in places where education of any kind was unknown, And Communists counselled “no provocation” in the face of provoca- tion, peaceful picketing in the face of violence, In no state perhaps is the sym- pathy and solidarity between urban and agricultural workers so notice- able as in California, Political clarity brought coordination between town and village. Well-equipped workers’ centers were established, union halls flourished, the unem- ployed were welded by struggles into strong organizations. The now- famous Western Worker came into existence and grew to be a power of truth and labor logic from one end of the coast to the other. Through it, workers learned of other strug- gles, of coal miners, sharecroppers and the Scottsboro boys. Tom Mooney, walled up within a few miles of their homes, became the great’ symbol of leadership on the coast. ‘HIS was not done overnight, It demanded unceasing toil and sac- rifice, pennies, dimes and dollars from thousands of men and women fired by the hope of decent, square and self-governed unity. What did happen overnight was the work of destruction, carried out by thugs from the alleys and dick- haunted dives of the whole country. What huge sums were paid for the aid of these expert “patriotic citi- zens”? Whose bank-rolls were nicked for them? Answer's can only be sur- mised; but we do know that the sig- nal to smash came from very high authorities indeed, not only from the Caseys and the Merriams but from Federal officers as close to the White House as the new coat of paint it is getting this summer. And after- wards, the police and the press glee- fully “mopped up.” ‘The workers’ centers are in splint- ers, the typewriters, tables, litera- ture are on the dump heap. The Triangle Press has gone up in flames and the Western Worker of- fices are demolished. Private homes have been sacked, and the hunted killed in cold blood. Hundreds of California’s finest and bravest people are thrown into crowded jails, the leaders chosen and trusted by the oppressed. What folly to think that this crime NEW YORK.—Responding to the call of the Film and Photo League for acon against the anti-semitic Cinelab, Inc., whose Nazi -Super- intendent recently discharged Her- man Blander, Jewish film winder and developer, because of his race, a Committee consisting of represen- tatives of the Anti-Nazi Federation, American League Against War and Fascism, American Civil Liberties Union and the Film and Photo League, visited the company. After @ lengthy discussion with the pro- prietor, J. H. Smith and his Supt. Weisser, the committee emerged convinced beyond a shadow of doubt, that the charges of Nazi persecu- tion and discrimination against by Blander were true in every detail as reported in the Daily Worker, issue of July 25, 1934. Smith cited the fact that a Jew had been hired to take Blander's position. But questioning brought out the fact that originally a gentile worker had been procured as a substitute for Blander. It was only later after the exposures in the labor press that the gentile was summarily relieved of his job and Bloody Thursday). * And reaped a crop of lies, Are marching by.

But to date nothing has been heard from Cinelab, so the picket- ing is on! All anti-Nazis of New York are urged to join the picket lines at 33 W. 60th St. to help force the reinstatement of Blander.

Will they contiue to run to cover! whenever the press screams “red”? Will they beiieve that the lead- ers and the Party who have shown |the workers their power are those who split the workers? Will they pocket and swallow every transparent lie, every superstitious distortion, so that they can walk at last humbly in the path of fascist righteousness and violent humbug? German, Chorus Joins Workers Music League NEW YORK — The Arbeiter Saenger Chor, affiliated with the Arbeiter Saengerbund der Vereinig- ten Staaten Amerika, founded in 1887, has joined the Workers Music League. This chorus is one of the oldest workers choruses in the United States, with a membership of sixty. Eugene Steinbach is the conductor. The Cultur Geselshaft Chorus, a Jewish chorus, which previously had not participated in any of the united front efforts of the Workers Music League, sent members of the chorus to parti- cipate in the farewell banquet for Willi Muenzenberg on July 27.

Saturday at the Acme Theatre. The picture is being re- leased here by Amkino. The film is based on the famous novel, “Gentlemen Golovlev” by the great Russian satirist Saltykov- Schedrin. “House of Greed” un- folds the story of three generations of a family of landlords. It is a story of the landed proprietors of old Russia. The film concentrates on the life of Porfiry Golovlev, an unctuous hypocrite, known as “Idushka” or Judas, and his two orphan nieces, Annie and Lubinka. The cast is headed by the noted Soviet artist -V. Gardin, who will be recalled for his brilliant work in “Shame.” “Soviet Close-Ups” is now in its final three days at the Acme, The Picture will close on Friday, vee WY SRAD EBS iiss innwe ed Page Five ~ AND By DAV RAMSEY Bace Theories and Science MONG the most vicious of the doctrines is the pseudo- scien claim of Nordic supre- mu At the current Congress of Malibopclogiens and ‘Ethnological sciences, two well known British scientists attacked the racial dog- mas of the Nazis as a delusion “The Aryan fallacy,” Professor G. Elliot Smith pointed out, “comes/ into flagrant conflict with the gen- erally recognized teachings of anthropological science.” There is, of course, no evidence from anthropology or genetics, which indicates the innate super- jority of the Nordic-Germanic race. And the attempts of the Nazis to! explain “German Kultur” in terms of racial peculiarities is simply a| complete fabrication which neglects | the importance of historical and other envoronmental influences in determining the general and spe- cific characteristics of the cultures of different peoples. The civilization | of Germany (until Hitler destroyed it) was itself in great part borrowed from “non-Aryan” peoples. Professor Smith hammered away decisively at this last point. He said: “There is still some diversity of opinion as to the place where civi- lization first originated, but we now have evidence to show that it was the work of the Mediterranean (non-Aryan) race.” There is also no adequate reason for regarding this fact as due to innate qualities on the part of the Mediterranean peo- ples, as is claimed by the Italian fascists. It was the result of eco- nomic and historical circumstances which impelled the peoples of Egypt, Sumeria and elsewhere to embark on those pursuits which in- evitably led to the upbuilding of civilization. The assault on the Nazi racial theories was supplemented by Pro- fessor J. B. S. Haldane, the dis- tinguished geneticist. He insisted that scientific knowledge of a man’s ancestry throws little light on his capabilities. Negroes, for example, if given equal cultural opportunities with whites, “can reach righer cul- tural levels than most of the whites.” He then went on to ridicule the whole Nazi concept of “race.” The physical characteristics of the so-called races within Europe over- lap to a considerable extent, and these populations therefore differ only in a statistical sense; that is, the European peoples have been so thoroughly mixed by random mat- ing that only different proportions of population mixtures can be dis- covered biologically. >, ee OTH scientists because of their bourgeois background did not touch on the real role of the pseudo-scientific doctrines of Nordic superiority. In the past, few respon- sible scientists were willing to back up these false theories. They were put forward by non-scientists like Lothrop Stoddard and Madison Grant in America as justification for the oppression of Negroes and Jews and the working class in gen- eral. Today, with jobs so scarce under dying capitailsm, German scientists are not so finicky, and prominent geneticists like Fischer, Gunther, Lenz and Verschuer lend themselves to propagating doctrines that ideologically support the eco- nomic and political measures of fascism. These false theories of racial superiority are a means of stirring up more intense nationalistic feel- ing, thus gaining support for fas- cism and imperialist war. By stir- ring up racial antagonisms against LABORATORY MNetes on Science and Technology SHOP Jews or Negroes, diverted from the cia. ‘uagle to @ Yace struggle that divides their larly as an excuse to cus lenic and welfare exe penditures, the Nazi theory of race purification (a piece of pr hooey) is advanced. Human suffering is glorified as “natural selection,” and the whole structure of social wel- fare that the German workers built |up over a period of fifty years is ruthlessly scrapped. |_ Im an address before the Third International Congress of Eugenics in 1932, one of the leading Ameri- | can geneticists, H. M. Muller, deme jonstrated how the contradictions of capitalism are quite irreconcilable | with the consciously directed bio- logical betterment of man. Capi< | ta: perpetuates the gross and artificial inequalities of the social environment. Unable to control, or. better, the genetic vaiues of man, fascism sets as its goal “the mould- |ing of morally steadfast and religie ous people who fill the place in life assigned to them”; in other words, it intends to reduce the workers to serfdom. Control over the biological bet- termeat of man can come only in & |society that is organized for tha | collective good of mankind and rec- ognizes the materialistic basis of its orkers aré m. existence. “It is encouraging to see,” Professor Muller recently ree ported, “that in the Soviet Union such studies are under way, free from the distortions which capi- talism entails, and utilizing in a beginning way the larger scale co operative methods so necessary for this tremendous undertaking.” $63 ee Another “White Man’s Burden” HE history of exploration is in« timately bound up with the search for new markets, the need for naval bases, and other charac= teristics of capitalism. In the past” few years, there has been an epidemic of exploring parties in Asia (sent out under scientific dis- guise), who, while looking for fossils: and lost cities, also look for trans~' portation and communication routes, oil, metals, airplane bases, and whatever else is necessary for the war preparations of the im- perialists. Such an expedition, headed by an Australian anthropologist, E. W. P. Chinnery, stumbled upon some “lost people” in New Guinea. These same people were seen and studied by a German, Dr. Hermann Detzner, who was formerly an official in these pre-war possessions of Ger- many in the Far East. In 1914, when there was feverish activity among explorers comparable to their activity today, Dr. Detaner discovered the high plateau describ- ed by Mr. Chinnery and visited two or three of the tribes who lived there. Some 200,000 people live on the 5,000 miles of grassy, fertile plateau country which differs com- pletely from the swamps and jungles that surround it. In typical British Civil Service. style, Mr. Chinnery spoke gravely- of “the big responsibility” involved in adding 200,000 more victims to British imperialism, and of making sure “they won’t be exploited.” To keep the natives from “exploita- tion,” British law and order and policemen and taxes have already: been introduced. Mr. Chinnery made it clear that there would be no trouble, “unless gold is found in the new lands. Then it will be diffi- cult to keep the country for the natives.” Since some gold has ale ready been found, the native in-- habitants will soon be submitted to the holy trinity of imperialism, syyphilis, religion, and exploitation in the mines, WHAT KEEP , August 26, Qpen!
