DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1934 Page Five CHANGE ae! eae WORLD! _ By MICHAEL GOLD HE kidnapping and death of the Lindbergh baby is a tragedy, but it is a capitalist tragedy. Money was at the root of it. The degenerate who committed this foul crime was not a sex degenerate, of whom there are fortu- nately few, but a money-degenerate, which means that he was first blood cousin of such respectable bandits as J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, Sam Goldwyn, General Hugh Johnson, and thousands of others. These people own the nation, run the nation, exploit and oppress and blackmail the nation. They are proud of their money system and defend it with blood and murdér, as in the recent textile strikes. Why are they so hypocritical in their horror when one of their clan kidnaps a little boy and kills it for money? He is otily doing what they do every day in the week. The Usual Nazi Frame-Up JT HAPPENS that the man recently arrested on strong evidence that he committed this monstrous crime is. a German immigrant. As might be expected, the Nazi monsters of his native land immedi- ately prepared a political frame-up in connection with the crime. Hauptmann, the Nazi papers said, was arrested in the “Jewish quarter” of New York, as they term the Bronx. This, of course, was to insinuate that he Was a Jew, and only a non-aryan could be capable of this deed. Then they tried to throw suspicion on Isidore Fish, a Jewish friend of Hauptmann’s, now dead. The arréstéd man claims this dead friend gave him the ransom money. They also announced that Hauptmann had been a Spartacist-Communist in his youth. ‘There have been other Nazi charges of a like nature. The Nazis are familiar with all the shyster tactics. The quality of all their think- ing is on this low gutter level, as every one of their books, newspapers and speeches testify. Their inferior intelligence allowed them to be defeated in the Reichstag fire frame-up, where a higher order of human being, the great Dimitroff, covered them with confusion. An ape is more powerful than a man, but a man can always outwit an ape. * . . But He Drank Nazi Beer ND it is the facts, as they are revealed from day to day, that defeat this latest Nazi attempt to murder truth. This Hauptmann, upon whom the Lindbergh ransom money was found, was undoubtedly a Naai sympathizer, if not a member of one of their groups. He had had a criminal record, and could not return to Germany, because of certain charges still pending. But his mother managed to get him an official permit to return. No Communist could have secured such a permit, had he cared to ask for it.. But this high- way robber, thug, and probable kidnapper, was welcomed. Hitler knows his own, Hauptmann, it is being revealed, also passed a great deal of his time in Nazi beer-halls in the Yorkville section. Here he spent some of the ransom money in beer-bouts with the New York Brown Shirts, singing the Horst Wessel song and heiling Hitler, no doubt. No honest German workér goes near these places. They are reserved only for counter-revolutionists, Jew-baiters, and scabs. And occasionally, a kidnapper of the pure “aryan” blood, Hauptmann. like Like the Morro Castle (gb contemplates with horror what might have happened in this coun- try if Hauptmann had been a member of one of the persecuted races—a Jew or a Negro. ‘There would have been a wave of lynchings, no doubt. As it hap- pens, the American capitalist class admires the Nazis, so that, except for the tabloids, none of the newspapers has said much about Hauptmann’s probable Nazi connections. No, we have our own Nazis here, using many of the same cheap, ruthless methods for saving capitalism by force and falsehood. Could the unspeakable Goebbels have been any cruder or swifter than the Ward Line capitalists, through whosé greed the Morro Castle burned? They immediately tried to shift the blame from their own shoulders by a typical Nazi invention. The fire was caused, as all the evidence shows, because the crew was underpaid and overworked, and the Captain was more worried about possible salvage costs than the murder of hundreds of passengers. But in a remarkable atmosphere of open skulduggery, the Ward Line millionaires have tried to fasten their own guilt on the crew and on the Communists, This use of the Communist frame-up has become so shop-worn that it is commencing to fall to the ground. lt has always been the last resort, like patriotism, of every capitalist scoundrel, but now there are too many scoundrels. Yet, we may expect the red frame-up to be still further employed. The scoundrels are desperate, and have no other alibi left. Wait for the next California earthquake. It will undoubtedly be blamed on the “Reds.” Toward a Better World 70th Anniversary of Founding of First International By Marx and Engels Is Celebrated By Working Class of World Communists Only True) Heirs of Marx And Engels As the Communist Parties of the world send their best representa- tives to the Soviet Union to pre- pare for the epochal Seventh World Congress of the Communist Inter- national, the working class of the world today celébrates the 70th an- niversary of the founding of the First International, the glorious In- ternational Workingwomen’s Asso- ciation, by Karl Marx and Freder- ick Engels. Tt was with the practical organ- ization of this first world revolu- tionary body, uniting the workers of the world in international soli- darity, that Marx and Engels launched the historic revolutionary struggle of the proletariat for the seizure of power. The Significance of the First In- ternational ‘The working class must know its history, mut honor its own revolu- tionary past and must on the hard road to revolutionary victory collect everything that can render this vic- tory easier. The Firs! Interna- tional was not an “honorable be- ginning”; it was @ REVOLUTION- ARY INSTRUMENT shaped by the conditions of the life of the work- ing class. At its head there stood the greatest thinkers and organizers of the working class—Marx and Engels. Their theory, further de- veloped by Lenin, is today an effi- cient weapon in the hands of the revolutionary vanguard of the in- ternational proletariat, the world Communist Party. Their practice, baséd on this theory, and embodied in the First International, their fight against the deviation to the “Right” and to the “Left” in the ranks of the working class at the time, and their principles of or- ganization are not dead, are not merely “the pasi”; but contain the GERM of what was realized in the Third (Communist) International— a proof of their correctness and vitality. Only those have a right to celebrate this anniversary who not only honored the theories and prac- tice of the First International but also transformed them into deeds. Only those who always remained true to the workers’ revolutionary past and always fought against the opportunism and treason of inter- national menshevism and even at the very moment of the deepest de- basement of the working class, dur- ing the imperialist war, raised the red banner of international indig- nation, of the revolution, that ban- ner which had been deserted by the social demoerats, trodden into the mire and exchanged for the differ- ent national colors, was the banner with which they placed themselves at the head of the working class! Only the Communists, only the true heirs of Marx and Lenin, have the right to celebrate the anniver- sary of the foundation of the First International, of the first interna- tional of the revolutionary solidar- ity! Only those have a right to celebrate this anniversary who saved even the good and useful in the past, that was in the Second International, from betrayal and annihilation, and who had more respec: for that past than the Sec- ond International leaders! It is they who continue the theory and practice of the First International; they are the pioneers of the inter- national revolution. The Third In- ternational has fulfilled Engel’s hopes; “I believe that the next In- ternational will be definitely Com- munist.” The first proclamation, the first 4 | Meier KARL Scan eananaaeinaseeneanncmeenaeineae MARX decision of the First International, the so-called Inaugural Address, was based upon the “Communist Manifesto,” even though certain general meaningless phrases found their way therein under the pres- sure of the petty-bourgeois senti- mental representatives of the French workers. But the fundamental prin- ciple of the working class was printed on the back of every mem- bership card as the gospel of the workers: “The emancipation of the work- ing class must be carried out by the workers themselves. The fight for the emancipation of thé work- ing class is no fight for new class privileges but for the destruction of all class rules. The economic sub- jection of the workers to the expro- priator of the means of labor, i.e., of the sources of life, is the root of serfdom in all its forms, of so- cial misery, of intellectual stunting and of political dependence. The economic emancipation of the work- ing class is therefore a great goal which all political movements must serve. All attempts to reach this goal have hitherto failed because of the lack of unity among the dif- ferent branches of labor in each country and among the working class of all countries. The eman- cipation of the workers is neither a local nor a national task. It con- cerns all countries where modern society exists. .. . Therefore, ‘Work- ers of the world, unite!’” This was the formulation of the great task of the “great profession” of the working class—‘the conquest of political power” for the reorgan- ization of society on the basis of general co-operation, of Socialism. Therefore the working class must keep abreast of the foreign policy of the ruling classes and their gov- ernments—and must confront it with its own policy. The General Council (led by Marx) adopted in 1866 at the be- ginning of the Austro-Prussian War a resolution in which this was is branded as the quarrel of two des- pots, and the proletariat is advised to utilize the given situation for its own emancipation. In July, 1868, the General Coun- cil wrote to the trade union as fol- lows: “The fundamentals of society must be the brotherhood of the toilers freed from petty national- ism, Labor has no fatherland.” Only with the conquest of politi- cal power, only by establishing the dictatorship of the proletariat do the workers—the world workers— achieve their fatherland. That fa- therhood is the Soviet Union, the first sixth of the earth, which must become the World Soviet Republic. The spirit of the First Interna- tional was true internationalism, which set the international inter- ests of the workers, the interests of the international revolution, higher than those of the “fatherland.” And this spirit flamed up brighter than ever, whenever a “national” war threatened to involve the workers. “Against chauvinism” was the slo- gan of the First International. “The First International (1864- 1872) laid the foundation for the international organization of the workers in preparation for their revolutionary onslaught against capital, The Second International 1889-1914) was the international organization of the while sustaining a temporary drop in the height of its revolutionary level, accompanied by a temporary strengthening of opportunism, which led in the end to the collapse of this International.” (Lenin). Day of First International Is Day | of Communist International The sole heir to the First Inter- national is the Communist Interna- | tional.

Behind ‘the Commu- | nist International are not only mass} parties which carry on their revo- lutionary struggles and the leader- ship of the Communist Interna- tional, but also the first proletarian State, the U.S.S.R. It is now a ques-| tion of realizing the slogans of the “The capture of political power is the supreme duty | of the working class.” In order to realize this, the Com-} munist Parties themselves must or- ganize in conformity with the slo- gans of the Inaugural Address: “The masses will not throw their weight |into the scales when there is an organization to hold them together| and knowledge guides them.” In order to win the victory against the armed forces of the bourgeoisie and of their henchmen, social democracy, | we must so mold our organizations, in order to enable them to mobilize for the struggle the majority of the} socially important elements of the proletariat, and meet armed violence with armed violence. The Communist Parties, in order to be able to lead effectively, must be in possession of the whole arsenal of Marxist-Leninist theory. The problems confronting us at this stage in the development of the in- ternational revolution are far too complex to be understood without a| thorough knowledge of theory. The theory cannot be the privilege of a group of leaders in the Party; every member of the Party must possess a certain minimum of political knowledge. The Communist Party is the leader of the proletariat, and every member must be 4 leader in his circle of activity. In order to exercise this every member of the Party must at least familiarize himself with the basic principles of Marxism-Lenin- ism. The chief slogan of the 13th Plenum of the Executive Committee of the Communist International: Soviet Power!—is the realization of the traditions of the First Inter- national. The fight against a form of reformism, the strong m itant organization of the masses, on| the basis of a broad united front of struggie; the way which leads to the bolshevization of the Com- munist Parties, towards the rea. zation of the heritage of the First} International—only in this way can the Communist International ac- complish the task of the World duty of leadership, | .

It is not a German who probably committed this crime, but a money-mad cockroach capitalist. He might have been a Jew, a Négro, a Swede, or even a blue-blooded New England Yankee or Virginian. Money was the motive of this crime. Money rules the minds and hearts of the bourgeois millions in every capitalist land. It drives them literally to madness; it steels their hands for the burning of the Morro Castles, the butchery of strike pickets, and for kidnappings like this one. When the patriotic Nazi prosecutor said to Dimitroff, “You Bul- garians are all savages,” the great Communist said proudly, “No, it is only the fascists of every land who are savages.” Capitalism means savagery. Every man’s hand is turned against his brother. This is what they call competition, But Communism means brotherhood and co-operation, It means the rule of humanity, and that is why these savages fear and hate it. There are millions of Communists and Socialists in Germany today who are risking their lives to crush the savages. We are proud to call them comrades. Their fate is our fate. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, Negro nor white, in the great battle for what will be a better world than this one of breadlines, race hatred, war, Morro Castle burn- ings and degenerates who kill babies for profit.

The film is based on a play by the folk-dramatist Ostrovsky who lived in the early part of the last century and it recounts the story of a sensitive young woman who marries into a petty merchant family only to be repelled by their coarse, swinish lives. She finds a lover in the town who can give her the attention and tenderness she seeks; but the traditions of church and class are more than she can overcome, and, in the end, she is trapped by her own code of morals as Well as by the lives ebout her. She chooses death as her only es- cape, Though the theme and: plot are by no means novel, the audience at the opening performance re- sponded warmly to the ribald humor and the excellent character- izations that a distinguished cast and a fresh young director suc- ceeded in creating.

This is his first film, and though it suffers from @ week continuity, he has already shown a powerful talent for creat- ing vividly earthy people. eee ™WO important elements make Thundersterm an unusual pic- ture in the history of the Soviet cinema: First of all the theme is stated completely in terms ef hu- man relationships and at no time i do the social Unusal New Soviet Film At Cameo, ‘Thunderstorm’ Based on Ostrovsky Play implications push themselves forward independently of the characters. This certainly indicates the new strength that the Soviet cinema is coming into. The character Koudriash shown in his shop, and in his relations with women, can serve as 2 model to our film makers and writers. Here is a@ man who is both brutal and charming, who is trapped like everyone in this mean provincial town. The creation of a rounded character intensifies the theme in- stead of. as some of our comrades might thing, bringing irrelevant material into the plot. Secondly, the story itself, as well as the treatment is an unusual one to find coming from the Soviet studfos. It is true that Soyuzfilm in the past has dealt with the sub- jection of women and the struggle for their emancipation. I believe more is to be read into the present treatment than the apology that the material is drawn from a writer living a century ago. Though the work of Ostrovsky was recognized as a classic a few years ago, it could not have been brought to the Soviet screen. Thet it has now been done we can explain solely on the new horizons that loom before Soviet writers with the dissolution of RAPP. A greater scope has been given to themes and it should prove fruitful in enhancing and enriching the cinema. ac Spay NE should see Thunderstorm if enly for that excellent witch scene in which the three old hags sit about a table drinking their tea, and pass judgment like the Fates on the young women who dared dream even fcr a moment, of free- dom for her sex.
