DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1934 ee Page 5 CHANGE | THe — WORLD! By MICHAEL GOLD EFORE the war, there was quite a large group of Christian Socialists in this country, and in other lands. These people were not real Socialists, of course, nor did they come from the working class. They were, in the main, members of the middle class living on rent, interest and profit. They had developed a conscience, however. The contradiction between some of the Bible teaching and the raw brutality of capitalism troubled their souls. They felt an enormous guilt because they lived in comfort and leisure while the producers of wealth lived in hunger and fear. Tolstoy was such a Christian, a great landowner with a sense of social guilt. Since a worker cannot feel this guilt, being in a different economic situation, it has always been hard for him to understand some of the remedies proposed by these Christian Socialists. One of their favorite appeals has been for the “renunciation of worldly things.” Tolstoy, Thoreau and others have preached this doc- trine and even tried to live it, in a sort of amateur way. It is said that some members of the Fellowship of Reconciliation in this country, wealthy Tolstoyans all, have recently foresworn the use of taxicabs, as they consider this an un-Christian luxury. But how can the workers, who have no luxuries, renounce anything? What they need, of worldly things, is not less, but more. They cannot indulge in the spiritual pleasure of giving up taxicabs. Their problem is a more materialistic one: how to secure enough bread and milk for their children. In this vulgar and “unspiritual” quest, they often have to strike. No strike is ever peaceful; the police aad the boss-gunmen, all the powers of the capitalist state, try to crush the strikers. They create violence; and unless he is a yellow dog, any man will fight for his life, and the life of those dear to him. This, too, the Christian Socialists, fail to understand. They abhor violence, and refuse to help strikers who have occasionally been pro- voked into self-defense by the capitalist thugs. For none of these wealthy Christian Socialists has ever had to live on charity relief, or hunt for bread in garbage cans, go up bare-handed against armed thugs in a strike. Thus they allow themselves another spiritual luxury, neutrality in the class struggle. 2 . . Capitalism Makes Communists IT IS true, however, that some of the work of Christian Socialism was valuable, if it did little more than to shatter the complacency of some of the blood-stained rich. A social revolution must be led by the working-class, because they are the most socialized class in society; they are in the key position of power in an industrial society and have the most to gain by a Socialist revolution, But this revolution will free not only the workers, but also the farmers, the oppressed races, the prostituted and demoralized intellec- tuals. It will set free the women, it will emancipate every group in the nation that has suffered the lash of capitalism. The workers lead an uprising of the people. This was demonstrated in Russia, and it is beginning to be perceived in outline here in America. ‘The lower middle-class, made desperate by the depression, is bringing valiant allies to the militant working-class; the Negro masses have begun to respond to the leadership of Communism; a wide popular drift has commenced among groups hitherto impervious to Communism. Among these groups are perhaps many who come out of the at- mosphere of the pre-war Christian Socialism. It was their first step toward a grasp of the realities of this social horror named capitalism. It was therefore necessary in the evolution toward a new society; most of us have had to find these transitions; Communists aren't born, they are made; made by capitalism. Socialism on a “Silver Platter” HAT is also true is that Christian Socialism, as a broad movement, has completely broken down, It could fluorish only in a period of capitalist stabilization. It was essentially another of the many protean forms of social reformism, These peovle did not want to sweep capitalism off the earth; they wanted, at best, only to civilize it. The price of a new social order is bitter and endless struggle. These people wanted it on a silver platter. They thought it necessary “to change the heart of man,” meaning briefly, that they expected the capitalists to make concessions. But in a period of decline the capitalists can no longer make con- cessicns, It is a question now as to who will pay for the depression: capitalism, out of its profits, or labor, out of its wages. Every capitalist is fighting for his life, and if he ever had a social conscience that could be appealed to, he lest it in 1929 on the Stock Exchange. Competition Among Heaven-Bound Souls O RELIGION has ever been anything but the reflection of the society that produced it. Catholicism is based on feudal slavery; all its forms and thinking are monarchial, a reproduction of the fixed hier- archies of feudalism, when one man was born to be a serf, and another an idle lord, all under the divine sanction of Peter’s church, Protestantism came in with capitalism; it represents the revolution of the merchant and banker, who needed a fluid society and a free market; the system of individualism and competition in business pro- ducing quite naturally the same individual competition among the heaven-bound souls. Today both of these great divisions of historic Christianity are fusing into fascism, since that is also the path capitalist democracy must take if the private profit system is to be saved from its enemy— the human race. In Austria we have seen the Catholic Church merging with the fascist state, and blessing the horror and oppression that goes on there. In Germany the Protestant church is split on this issue, but it is a minor difference. Most of the German Christians accept Hitler's princ/ples. The pastors who are fighting him do so on a technical mat- ter of organization of the division of spoils. When this is adjusted the church will be completely part of the fascist state, as it is in Austria and Italy. No, there is little future for Christian Socialism, any more than there is for liberalism. Both are based on the theory that capitalism can be reformed without a revolution. But this means that capitalism must make concessions to its slaves. Can a drowning man make concessions? He must clutch at every straw; and maddened by fear, capitalism writhes and twists in the agony of a fatally wounded beast. Is this a time to plead with it to be Christian and polite? . , .

Spivak, appearing weekly in the New Masses. | his former articles Spivak exposes | the close connection between the Order of "76 and German secret agents, whose purpose is to fo- ment anti-semitic sentiments in this country, under the guise of fighting Communism. He aiso proves the ¢oonection between the Order of “~ id the Silver Shirts, through their discredited leader, William Dudley Pelley. In the present article, Spivak turns his guns on Congressman Louis T. McFadden — “just a plain crook.” * a I. By JOHN L. SPIVAK IN MAY 29, 1933, much to the surprise of Republican leaders in Congress, Louis T. McFadden, of Pennsylvania, launched a vitriolic attack upon Jews from the floor of | the House. It was the first time in American history that the Jewish race was attacked in halls dedicated to preserving racial and religious freedom. | The country was astounded. No one knew what was behind the had been a Congressman for almost twenty years. Efforts were made to expunge his speech from the record but he opposed this move. It was pointed out to him that his remarks were based upon the “Pro- tocols of Zion” published in the Dearborn Independent, which had been exposed as forgeries and that Henry Ford, publisher of the Dear- born Independent, has publicly apologized for their appearance. McFadden, despite all this, per- sisted in disseminating his attack far and wide. He became the Con- gressional voice of “hate-the-Jew” propaganda. He, it seemed, was making public addresses from the floor of the House exactly along the line of the anti-Semitic prop- agandists’ which were organized na— tionally by Col, Edwin Emerson, the notorious American Hitler incredible that a man who talked so much about “Americanism” and patriotism” could have anything to do with spreading race-hatred in this country. Before the reader finishes this article he will understand the “Honorable” Representative McFad- den’s connections with organiza- tions working hand in glove with secret German agents, as well as what I meant when I said McFad- den is “just a plain crook.” I shall present evidence to prove that his whole life has been one of con- niving, crookedness and double- crossing, ee tae is necessary, for the reader to get a clear picture of his relation— ship with Nazi anti-Semitic prop- agandists, to review for a para- graph or two the facts already established in preceding articles of the series in The New Masses. I have already presented evidence to show that the secret espionage so- ciety, the Order of "76, was more than closely connected with Ger- man secret agents who are organ- izing on @ national scale the “hate- Drive On to Double Circulation of C. I. 20 Beginning with the next issue, No. 20, of “The Communist Inter- national” which will appear next week, a drive {is being made to double the circulation of this maga- zine. Five thousand copies of No. 20 are expected to be printed and sent to every part of the country. New York has already doubled its order for this issue and will take 1,800 copies. All districts are being called upon to double their usual order, and many sections and units which do not get regular bundles are expected to begin with this issue building the circulation of this in- dispensible publication, carrying this campaign forward energetically among their members and among revolutionary workers, The contents of No. 20 are of great interest, and will no doubt contribute substantially to making the edition of 5,000 a distribution success. With this issue begins the discussion preparing for the Seventh World Congress of the Communist International which has been post- poned until the first half of 1935. Three leading editorials deal with the entrance of the Soviet Union into the League of Nations, the seventieth anniversary of the found- ing of the First International, and the revolutionary upsurge in the United States. An excellent article analyzes the strike struggles taking place In Canada. “The Communist International” No. 20 will be out Oct, 31. All Party organizations are urged to rush their orders at once (or increase their standing orders), to Workers Li- brary Publishers, P.O. Box 148, Sta. D, New York City.

Edwin Emerson, The evidence showed that Brooks made secret trips to New York where he went to 17 Battery Place, the offices of the German Con- sulate General in which his father had an office, that Brooks had made secret arrangements for Royal Scott Gulden, head of the Order of 16, to meet with William Dudley Pelley, head of the Silver Shirts, so that the two organizations could merge. With the evidence already presented, we have a picture of the Silver Shirt leader, working with Gulden, who in turn is closely con- nected with secret German agents, Let us now see if this Congress- man from Pennsylvania, who took @ solemn oath to uphold and #efend the Constitution of the United States, has any connection with these organizations working so closely with secret German agents. ito came into power in the spring of 1933. Shortly there— after German secret agents and Sian O’Casey WITHIN THE GATES—a play in four scenes by Sean O'Casey; pro- duced by George Bushar and John Tuerk, At the National Theatre. een Gait Reviewed by. LEON ALEXANDER | MWR. O'CASEY, apparently distrust- | ing the discernment of his audi- ence and of his critics—warned per- haps by the lack of understanding with which his play was received in London—has helpfully provided us in the New York Times of Sun- day, Oct. 21, with a manifesto of his dramatic creed, and in the pro- gram, with a guide through the cryptograms of his play. With “Within the Gates,” it was apparently the high purpose of the the majesty that was Greece and the magnificence that was the Eng- jland of Shakespeare; to restore to the drama the music, the song and the dance of the Elizabethan play and the austere ritual of the Greek drama. | Nor is that sufficient to the am- \bition of Mr. O’Casey: Gates” is to be also the opening) “Within the gun in a battle against realism, for a new stage from which will blend the qualities of the classical, the romantic and the expressionistic drama. Perhaps it is not fair to hold a playwright to the letter of his ar- tistic creed; nor on the other hand is it advisable for him to confess his brainchild a cripple by sending it out propped on both sides on crutches of theory. With or without guide and manifesto, however, “Within the Gates” remains one of the dullest, emptiest, crudest, most pretentious evenings I have spent in the theatre—not excluding Mr. Paul Green’s defunct “Roll Sweet Chariot” with which this play has much in common. Paes eae IR. O'CASEY is bent on tilting a@ lance again for “Nature,” “Life,” and “Beauty,” against sanc- timoniousness and Puritanism. This explains perhaps why that doughty anti-Puritan, Mr. George Jean Nathan took the play to his critical bosom. Here at last, after so many years, was an important dramatist fighting the good old battle again, for sin and Satan. Mr. O'Casey has trotted out again the stock characters and situations of that mawkishly purple drama of the Naughty Nineties, which dis- covered that sin lay not in human nature but in the repression of natural impulses.

Some of them were native Americans. The first mass out- break of anti-Semitic propaganda engineered by Hitler agents came in the spring of 1933—a period in which, strangely enough, we find Congressman McFadden rising in the halls of Congress to attack the Jews while ostensibly discussing a gold clause repeal resolution. First, I offer evidence that Con- gressman Louis T. McFadden is working very closely with William Dudley Pelley of the Silver Shirts him. On Aug. 22, 1933, Pelley tele- graphed McFadden to the latter's happened to deal with an N.R.A.| question but the significance lies in the fact that Pelley of Asheville, N. C. did not ask one of his own Congressmen but went to one from Pennsylvania; the tone, too, of the | telegram is interesting. There is no }mark of courtesy apparent. It is the tone of a commander to a sub- ordinate. “Answer at once,” Pelley ordered. The telegram follows: HON, LOUIS McFADDEN: CANTON, PENN, OUR PEOPLE REPORTING Tits A Dull rather than virtuous because of conformity or fear;” the stiff- backed, sanctimonious old maid; | the puppet atheist who has walked pet religionists who seem to have just stepped out of the kind of anti-religious broadside wherein | the author dares god to strike him dead for his blaspheming; and the | Dreamer. . . | Ah! The Dreamer. . . How many embcyo-playwrights have tried to write of the bright, reckless Poet- Dreamer, and the tragic, uncon- ventional prostitute. As for the! new dramatic form, it seems to have been borrowed from musical | comedy, including a tall and sinuous | show-girl, a ballet, and a gaily at- | tired chorus. The first three scenes of the play are static and repetitious; the fourth nearly acquires a sort of brooding beauty through its light- ing and its chants—only to have it shattered by the sophomoric in- terjection of the _ red-scarfed | Dreamer. | The drama has also its small | |satirie moments, These would have | been more effective, however, if the author had not set up dummy adversaries, with their stuffing al- ready sadly sticking out from much | pummeling, to knock them down | again with a brave show of reck- | lessness. | ITH one exception—that of the actor who plays the part of| the older chair attendant to whom we take off our hat for a sustained bit of acting, even during his silences—the acting is uniformly} bad. The actors are stiff, mouthe their lines or mug their emotions; they stand and deliver their awk- ward, alliterated lines, weighed down with redundancy and limping poetry. Miss Gish is a vision of loveliness and an excellent elocutionist; but she speaks her lines by rote like a schoo] girl. Once she slipped on a word, said rife for life, caught her- self guiltily then went on with her recitation. Even in reading the play, I found a more hectic flush of aberration, if he will present us soon again with a play that smells once more of earth, sweat, blood and grime—that is filled again with terror and pity. and seems to be taking orders from | home in Canton, Pa, The telegram | ASHEVILLE, NO.

I quote the letter in full: My dear Mr, Gulden: I cannot begin to thank you for the opportunity which you gave me to meet with the group in New York which you called to- gether, I shall hope that some good may have come from this meeting to your group. It was an inspiration to me, I can assure yeu, and I want you to know that I am deeply appreciative, I am just in Washington for the day and expect to be at my home in Canton for the balance of the month where I am trying | to get some very much needed rest, I shall be glad to hear from you any time.

I do know that it was held at the Union League Club where on former occasions Gulden had met secret Nazi agents.

In t in the upper brair stant rhythmic electrical even when there stimulation. It was r strated in experiments on that the brain produces elect currents while the subject is an un- conscious state from an anaesthetic. The brain keeps sending out elec- trical currenis as long as the blood supply to the cortex is not cut off. By currents die out as soon circulation of the blood electrical of er is or Cannon carried out ion on a person in a dark room the Metal at electrodes were attached to the top and back of the skull, and in turn ease these were attached to a high amplification apparatus, in another The amplifier rs of the building agnified the brain cv lion times. The amplified discharges could then be the auditorium of the congres: As the subject lay quietly with his eyes shut, the apparatus recorded ten to fifteen electrical oscillations a second. When the eyes were sud- denly opened, thus provided a visual stimulus to the brain, the regular signals were either seriously modi- fied or cut off entirely. A flashlight | when brought in front of the eyes caused another alteration in the pattern of the electrical signals. These experiments have demon- s'rated the electrical activity of the brain on a pretty definite basis. It had been speculated on for a num- | ber of years, but this was the first experimental verification on a sat- |isfactory scale. | The same experiments were car- jvied out on anaesthetized cats after | the top and back parts of their skull had been removed. The electrodes | were then attached directly to the | brain. Consequently only a tenth |of the amplification was necessary | to record the brain signals. These experiments seem to in- dicate that the processes of think- | ing have as their basis the electrical activity of the brain. Despite the denial of the idealists that the {human personality and the proc- jesses of consciousness can be ex- | plained in materialistic terms, the | work of scientists like Pavlov, Sher- rington and Cannon is an im- portant beginning towards our un- \derstanding of the materialistic basis of the human consciousness. | As a practical application of their | work the Harvard scientists are at- |tempting to determine the role | played by brain: electricity in the | process of hearing. | discover means of res‘oring the | hearing of the 10,000,000 persons in the United States who suffer from deafness. ‘They hope to!

He empts to, prove this by insisting tha financial rewards prise are made ait will follow as the night the day that scientific advances will be greatly curtailed through lack of financial support.” The point is plain. Support spe- cial privilege or you are through as a research worker. But his point is false. Science does not need the fleshpots of capitalism to progress. In fact, it is the profit system that is the big barrier to scientific advance, that has made the scientist the cap- tive of its greed and inhumanity. The example of the Soviet Union proves that once science is liber- ated from the curse of capitalism, it develops with a speed that has never been equalled before. For the first time it is given boundless possibili- ties for advancing. Problems are | posed and solved that are incon- ceivable under capitalism. There is no need for bootlicking. Scientific activity is looked upon as work that is important to the welfare of all |of humanity, and not as ballyhoo that will increase the profits of General Motors or du Ponts, The defense of the profit system by the Millikans and the Comptons has a sinister air about it. Their apology for capitalism smacks of fascist ideology. The fascists also consider science the handmaid of profit and war.
