DAILY WORKER, N YORK, MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1934 rs Page 5 ——THE-— WORLD! By MICHAEL GOLD ORLISS LAMONT made an interesting talk at a banquet of the Friends of the Soviet Union the other night. He is a real friend of the Soviet Union, as has been proved now for some years. This particular Lamont is the son of Wall Street and J. P. Morgan's Thomas Lamont, which may seem strange to some. but isn’t strange to those who have studied history. More than sixty years ago the great Russian novelist Turgenev wrote a novel titled, “Fathers and Sons,” in which he showed how the two worlds, capitalist and communist, fought their battle everywhere, even in the minds and hearts of families who loved each other per- sonally. The father was fated to play a certain role, but history had laid another task on the son, from which he could not honorably escape. And thus the two, despite the strong natural tie of blood, were in opposite camps. ‘CHANGE In Both Camps 'HERE are workers, degraded by capitalism, slum-proletariat, we call them, who betray their brothers and join the vigilante and Nazi groups that destroy workers. There are also a group among the capitalists who desert their class, because they see clearly that it can no longer administer the world, but has been forced to cruelty and chicanery as a substitute for superior brains and usefulness. Corliss Lamont has been forced into revolutionary sympathies by an iron logic. At one time an instructor in philosophy at Columbia, Marxism has been for him a series of slow and painfully-hammered out advances in thinking. It has not been a piece of irresponsible emotionalism with him or the romantic rebellion of one generation against its elders. Corliss Lamont, though a rich man’s son, happens to have a cool and first-rate mind, as one can see by examining his books and other writings. And, let me repeat, there are innumerable such examples in world history. The chief financial contributor to the work of Lenin and the Bolshevik Party was a Russian millionaire named Morozoy. In the Soviet Union today there are hundreds of descendants of the old nobility who occupy high positions in the Communist movement. I can remember meeting the poet Lugovskdi in Moscow. He is a powerful, handsome young giant who fought in the Red Army through the Civil War, and now is one of the best known of the Soviet poets, a member of the party. This Lugovskoi is the last heir of the Ruriks, who were the Czars of Russia before the Romanoy dynasty muscled in. And nobody in Moscow finds it strange, or even gives it a second thought. . * . Another “Deserter” T the banquet the other night there spoke, also, a former Czarist General, Victor A. Yakhontoff. This ex-general has gone through a long and sincere development, too. Formerly attached to the Czarist Embassy in Japan, he has written two authoritative and scholarly works on the war schemes of the Japanese imperialists in the far east. He exposes the steps they are taking in their monstrous strategy to conquer the whole of Asia for their empire. They are leading up to a war against the Soviet Union, and in that war, if and when it comes, General Yakhontoff will be a valiant and loyal fighter on the side of the Soviets. This cannot be doubted. The general spoke at the recent congress against war and fascism in Chicago. In all his writings and lectures he is tireless in defence of his new world philosophy. Yes, this general has deserted his own class forever and come over to the working-class, | Cannot Share the Guilt of Capitalism iT is happening, I repeat, in every land under the sun of our day. About a year ago in Japan there was a general police round-up of Communists, of the brutal variety we have seen recently in California. The Japanese newspapers were surprised to find that among those caught in the dragnet were members of some of the oldest aristocratic families of Japan, including the grandson of a former Premier. There are quite a few aristocrats in the Communist Party of Germany, too. Ludwig Renn, the famous Communist author now serving three years in one of Hitler's death-camps, comes of an an- cient Teutonic stock, and is loved by évery German worker. in France, recently, we have seen the recent conversion to Com- munism of a large group of aristocratic intelleotuals, including such famous names as those of Andre Gide and Ramon Fernandez. In every land the best of what is left in the old bourgeois world reaches this point where it can no ionger share the guilt of capitalism. Not one first-class mind in Germany has remained with Hitler. Art and science flourish in the Soviet Union; in the fascist lands they have withered like a tree struck by lightning. In America we are seeing the same process. Never was there a time when so many writers and professional people are beginning to understand that fascism means more than the destruction of the working class; it is also the end of western civilization, whereas Communism is the only force that can and will carry on the great tradition.

One view- ing merely whets the appetite to sodes such as the Hamburg dele- gation to the Soviet Union, where the confused but honest young worker begins to understand the nature of the class battle he de- serted when his comrades needed him most, and returns to their ranks. In fact all the elements that enter into a strike situation are evident in “Deser-er” more clearly than in any film in recent months. We see the difficult struggle be- tween the Communist leadership in the strike and the old Social- Democrats who can see only starva- tion and death at the end, and their ultimate desertion to the side of the bosses. We see the murderous brutality of the Hamburg police assassins whose machine guns against Communists and Socialists alike, convince the workers, although late, that they must stand together in the strike or perish.

I append a full copy of the letter. For your information, Mr. Kelly is a personal friend with whom I have naturally discussed matters of general interest, at his home.

I have little sympathy with it, and would wish to join in condemnation of its persecution of otherwise free citizens, including Jews. I believe that any importation of Nazi principles or organization into this country can only be prevoca- tive of useless strife, which is en- tirely foreign to our country, and which any earnest American should discourage As to Semitism or anti-Semitism, I do not believe that agitation one way or the other is either necessary or beneficial in the United States.

This is recognized as an entirely legal step which anyone is entitled to take for his own reasons. My personal relations with my father, Edwin Emerson, are equally only ovr business.

They were a dangerous source of con- fusion, however, in a working class movement. The old Socialism had more than a strong taint of fiunkeyism. Led by men who were mostly personal careerists, and wanted nothing better than a cabinet office in a capitalist government, the pre-war Socialist movement had no reai guidance to offer its new allies from the bourgeoisie. In fact, it surrendered its Marxist line gladly to every newcomer. Men like Dudley Field Malone and Mayor LaGuardia, for example, were at one time in the American Socialist Party. They were taught nothing, nothing new was expected of them. Instead, they were im- mediately offered posts of leadership. It was these confused liberals, many of them nothing but political adventurers, who took the spot- light at once and spoke for “Socialsm.” Today, the Communist movement has a firm Marxist base in the working-class. This it never surrenders. Because it has this founda- tion, it can absorb these new and splendid allies from the bourgeoisie. It can even teach them a great deal. A man like Corliss Lamont, because the lines of Communism are so clear and firm, understands better his own relation to the move- ment. He is content to be a loyal ally of the only force in the world that can eventually wipe out war, fascism, and the rule of the profiteer. We shall see more and more of such allies in America, . . * Contributions received to the credit of Mike Gold in his socialist competition with Jacob Burek, David Ramsey, Harry Gannes, Helen Luke, Del and the Medical Advisory Board, in the Daily Worker drive for $60,000.
