DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1934 Page 5 CHANGE Se. a WORLD! By MICHAEL GOLD = SHOPS are usually plump. If they lead “spiritual” lives ) it cannot be detected from their faces or figures. That lean, hungry, intense air of the martyr may be found, however, on the faces of thousands of unemployed workers. Moreover, the plump, well-fed, well-housed Bishops are “spiritual” as all hell, but the starving unemployed are “materialists,” and talk and dream only of beefsteak. How can one explain this con- tradiction? Are the Bishop only another regiment in the grand army of capitalist hypocrisy? No, comrades, the Bishops really worry about the sheep under their pastoral crook. It is reported that at a recent convention of the Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church there was much gloom: For several days the Bishops neglected their roast duck and sherry and lamented over the human race. They drew up, in conclusion, an “inspiration message” for their ficck. After doing this, most of them returned to their happy homes, and for another year, I am sure, will be ruthlessly comfortable again. But let that pass. Comfort is the career of a Bishop. Meditating on God and Roast Duck HAT is interesting about their final message is to discover that even Bishops aré now aware that America is passing through a profound economic crisis. Such mundame news, in the past, has rarely been able to beat its way to the lofty spheré where Bishops spend their time meditating on roast duck and God. But this time it seemed to have penetrated to what Milton called, “the blind mouths.” ‘There was the usual lamentation over the divorce evil, “the menace of Reno,” as they picturesquely phrased it. We, all of us, my friends, were dénouncted as a “wicked and adulterous generation,” though one wonders how the seventeen million unemployed find the energy to commit adultery or the money for a Reno divorce. The drama and literature of America, said the Bishops, has grown immoral and licentious. With this one agrees; bourgeois art is exactly that, Yet one ought to warn the good Bishops that they musn't bite the hand that feeds them. There are great profits being made by the business panderers who produce this bourgeois art, and if you threaten profits anywhere, you Bishops, who is going to support your Church and maintain your supply of roast duck? Take it easy, and you will last longer. * * Even Bishops Must Make a Living ET all this is the usual routine stuff. Besides administering vast real estate holdings, chiselling large contributions out of millionaires, marrying off American debutantes who have been sold to foreign hoblemén or burying captains of industry who have succumbed to the rigors of dollar-hunting, the Bishops are obligated by their position to make an anuual declaration in favor of bourgeois morality. All of us have our unpleasant little duties; and this is one of theirs. ‘They must preach the “good life” to theit congregations of adulterous profiteers, idle parasitic women, munition-makers and strikebreakers. A street cleaner must collect garbage. A chemist must make poison A newspaper reporter must lie about Communists. A Bishop All of us, under capitalism, must make our * * gas, must preach morality. living, somehow, anyhow. ‘WORLD of the | THEATRE BETWEEN TWO WORLDS, a play | in ‘nine scenes by Elmer Rice; | produced and staged by Elmer Rice, at the Belasco Theatre.

Just as unemployment means a boomn in sales for the makers of tear-gas bombs, and bank failures, world wars and such calamities increase the wealth of the House of Morgan, there is evidently profit in the capitalist crisis for the Church. “The most vital and fruitful periods in the church’s history,” said the Bishops, “have been those where material values have suffered im- pairment and the genius of men has proved inadequate to meet critical situations.” And they blame the depression, not on the capitalist system where it belongs, but on all of us. We are immoral, that’s why the factories are closed. “Our nation and the nations of the world are suffering from a moral sag that has reduced them to the low plane of impotence,” the Bishops announce. How skillfully they put the cart before the horse. Instead of blaming the demoralization of the people on the breakdown of cap- italism, the Bishops blame the people for being demoralized. In brief, the unemployed are being punished for their own sins, and must return to the Church. * The Writing on the Wall IN these days, a liberal, by definition, is one who would save cap- italism from its own complete ruin by reforming it hére and there. In many recent church conventions this liberal note has been sounded. Even these plump Episcopalean Bishops saw Belshazzar’s writing on the wall, and turned “liberal.” ‘They called for a reduction in armaments and a truce in the silent war for international trade that is going on between the cap- italist nations, and that will soon plunge us into a greater world wat, unless checked by revolution. They also pleaded for co-operation between capital and labor, and that capital recognize the right to collective bargaining, and the right to old age and unemployment insurance. They came out in favor of birth control (they believe this to be a cure for poverty), and against child labor. They were miraculously N.R. A, and “liberal,” indeed, considering what Bishops are like. The convention was a success. It was all in good order. Not a single rude and truthful rebel was present to rise like an angry prophet in accusation against the capitalist class; the class that is responsible for war, depression, poverty, the class that is the paymaster of ‘the holy Church. * .

Beginning with No. 20 of “The Communist International” discus- sion articles preparing for the Seventh World Congress will ap- pear, and a greatly increased sale of this magazine in our Party and mass organizations is anticipated. The two discussion articles in this issue are “Problems of the Stand- ard of Living of the Working Class,” by Sinai, and “The Question of the Middle Strata of the Town Pop- ulation,” by P. Reimann. The first shows how the living standards of the working class have dropped tre- mendously and are continuing to drop in the conditions of the end of capitalist stabilization. The sec- ond takes up the various strata of the urban petty bourgeoisie, show- ing how certain of their immediate demands make it possible for our Party to win them as allies in the struggle against capitalism, and the fi nce of winning them in ler to destroy the mass basis of fascism. The campaign to increase the circulation of “The Communist In- ternational” is taking shape in dif- ferert “71s of the country. The Yast two iscucm, Nos. 18 and 19, have been sold out cumpletely and many additional orders could not be filled. In Los Angéles an ideological drive has been started to double the num- ber of copies read there within the next two months. The plan is to convince every Communist Party unit to buy one copy for its unit library and sell at least 1 copy for every 5 members in Los Angeles. Cleveland has a plan to obtain 200 subscribers from among Party functionaries, who are in turn to obtain 200 additional subscribers. Twenty-four subs have already been sent in from Cleveland. In line with the decision of the Presidium of the E. C, C. I, that in each Section the Party organiza- tions must take up the discussion of the questions on the agenda of the Seventh Congress, every Party dis- trict, section and unit must inten- sify and increase many-fold the distribution of “The Communist In- ternational* and organize the sys- tematic discussion of the problems on the agenda of the Seventh Con- gress.

R.; but he shies at the use of force, and he is hopeful that changes may be made in the structure of American capitalism without a revolution. Mr. Rice holds on to certain valués, bourgeois values, that he fears the proletarian revolution will destroy: gentleness, humaneness, urbanity, tolerance . . . He doesn't stop to consider that these qualities are practically non-existent in a capitalist world, in which the philo- sophy of dog eat dog prevails; that if they make their appearance at all, it is only in some small, closed circles in which economic compe- tition is temporarily latent.

During the second week of the drive $200 were collected ($75 more than the first week) making a total of $350 to date. With such determination and enthusiasm it is safe to predict an even greater return next week. ANOTHER SPECIAL SHORT-TERM COURSE TO BEGIN NOY, 10th The second of a series of short- term courses will begin Saturday, Novembér 10th, from 3 to 5 p. m. at the New York Workers School, with Max Bedacht as instructor. The topic will deal with “The Growth of the International Pro- letarian Class Struggle as Expressed in the First, Second and Third Internationale.” This course will deal with the class struggle and the historical role of the First, Second and Third Internationals. New and important material will be presented for the first time by Comrade Bedacht. The role of the Second and Third Internationale in the present situation will also be dealt with. The fee is $1 for five lectures. Registration is now going on at the Workers School, 35 East 12th Street, Room 301.

Markoff, 35 East 12th Street, New MOSCOW, Oct. 25.--As a phy: cal memento of the great Con: of Soviet Writers, recently held in Moscow, the Council. of Peoples’ Commissars has just decreed the construction of an Institute of Lit- erature, to bear the name of Maxim Gorky. It has been agreed that the site | of the academy will be one of the; most beautiful parks along the banks of the Moscow river, in the vicinity of the “Palace of Labor.” Here the magnificent buildings of the Gorky Institute will rise as a symbolic expression of the strength, breadth and grandeur of the new! Socialist culture. The construction plans foresee hundreds of rooms for individual and group instruction encircling several large auditoria, a library of a million volumes, a spe- cially enclosed area for the preser- vation of literary manuscripts and archives, homes for the students, etc. Moreover there are to be gal- leries with sculptures of the great masters of literature. For director | of the Institute, L. B. Kamenev, has been named. | The Institute is not only to be/ the center of scientific research in| the sphere of literary history, but at , | the same time will serve as an ad-| vanced academy where Soviet writ- ers may heighten their talents. The work of scientific investigation of the Institute will embrace the en- tire literature of the world through | all history, from primitive folk art to the present day. This vast field will be divided into five chief sec- tions: The History of World Litera- ture, the Theory of Literature and the History of Aesthetics, the Sci- ence of Language, and the History of Artistic Book-making (illumi- nated manuscripts, scriptology, etc.). The pedagogic activity of the Institute will include a three year course. Only those will be accepted for further education in the Insti- tute who have already shown ability in some form of literary activity and who require a more systematic | development.

American politics works in strange ways. ET us now go to another business deal or two of the honorable Congressman from Pennsylvania. McFadden was and always is try- ing to get money. He doesn’t give it. That is why I wonder who paid for the printing of the race-hatred Howeve:— In March, 1926, Louis T. McFad- den, Congressman from Pennsyl- vania, applied to the courts of New York for permission to sell $1,300,- 000 worth of stocks of a new cor- poration known as the Federated Radio Corporation. A couple of brokers working with him had lots of nice certificates printed. They looked beautiful. The stock certi- to banks and brokerage houses ready to be sold to the suckers as soon as the word was received that the corpora- tion could sell them, New York, however, has an act prohibiting the sale of stocks under representa- tion. Albert Ottinger, Attorney Gen- eral then of the State of New York, got a look at the sales prospectus, made a little investigation about the company and immediately went into court to stop the people from parting with $1,300,000 for the “hon- | orable” Louis T. McFadden. I won’t bore the reader with great details. It is sufficient to say that getting people to invest in them | was his specialty, besides posing as a | great friend of the people. | We find, for instance, that he borrowed $8,750 from the: First Na- tional Bank of Canton, Pa., (his own bank—but the depositors’ money). In return he gave as security 750 {shares of stock of the Southern States Oil Corporation—the same stock he had been given as a bribe along with the $25,000! We thus come to the conclusion that 150 | shares of this stock is worth $8,750. | When he went bank however, he listed among his “pr nal” prop= jerty 3,500 shares of the same com- pany’s stock as being worth exactly $1. And another 590 shares of the |same stock held by his brokers as being worth exactly $1. In other words he had borrowed, of the people’s money deposited in his bank, a sum far in excess of the | value of the stock he gave as col- lateral! | It is in this application for bank- ruptcy that we find that he lists |2,500 shares of Federated Radio | Corporation of which 5,000 were issued, as valued at $30,000—a slight | difference between that and the | $1,300,000 he tried to get from the suckers, when he was stopped by the Attorney General of the State | of New York.
