~ i —— i | AILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1932 Page ¥ CHANGE ——THE-— WORLD! By MICHAEL GOLD IHE drive for the Daily Worker is still on. I need not mention again trat there is a Socialist competition be- tween the different departments of the paper, and this column is in the race. The old problem presents itself again; is literature to bow the head once more te spinach? The Medical Bureau is in the lead by more than $100. But Jake Burck, who won the last race by giving away all his drawings, is using the same ruthless tactic again, and may be the dark horse to win at the finish. This column cannot cure rheumatism or present you with a free drawing. But it wants to win this race by any means, fair or foul. I am looking around to see if there is any premium I can offer, too. What do the readers suggest? * = Simple, Popular Language HE workers support their newspaper, but they also want the Daily Worker’s general style changed. There's no doubt that if we are to have a popular paper, it must be written in the popular language. The Daily Worker is the central organ of the Communist Party, and as such cannot avoid its task of furnishing leadership to the more advanced groups of reyolutionary workers. This means using some very complex and technital language, it is true. But the problem is in finding the right balance between such necessary documents and the news and agitational material written in popular speech. For the “Daily” is one of our main weapons in organizing the great masses. It cannot be addressed only to the core of politically advanced elements who lead the movement. Everyone on the “Daily” staff knows this, but I repeat, it is difficult to strike the balance. Many letters have come in on this theme. There can be no doubt that the politically sophisticated style of some of the newspaper’s con- tents prevents the circulation from going up at a rate worthy of the times. Here is a sample letter on this subject from a party organizer in the South. He writes from Bessemer, Alabama, an important steel and mining center. * A Tangle of Clauses and Phrases “IJERE in the South,” says Comrade J. C., “where the majority of workers never were able to go as far as the fifth grade in school, the workers have a difficult time reading our paper. “This goes for both white and Negro workers, though the white kids are given slightly better opportunities for education. “You named a list of words that are tough. I could extend that list a long way and still not be satisfied. In Georgia and Alabama I have talked to workers and farmers who have marked as high as twenty words in one article that they did not understand. Naturally, they did not get the meaning of the article, and therefore our argu- ments were wasted. “Another fault is the complicated sentence structure. Many work- ers get all tangled up in a mess of clauses, phrases, parentheses, etc., until they give up ard skip to the next paragraph. “There is an urgent demand for clear simple writing in the ‘Daily.’ Why can’t you comrades deliver it to us? I wish I knew one good reason that I could use for an alibi when I try to explain to workers. They want to read the ‘Daily,’ and they do read it, but sométimes it is as hard for them as a foreign language. This is undoubtedly hurt- ing our chances for winning more of them over.” * . . * . Neglect of American History AN JAMES of Kansas Olty sends in a $2 bill, which shows his good- will and then lets off the following blast: “Yes, down with all these jawbreaking, steamwinder, seventeen syllable horrors that so often appear in our agitation! “What good do they do to anyone? I can read Lenin, I can read Marx, but often I cannot understand the profundities in some brief account of a demonstration or some political comment in the ‘Daily.’ “I would also like to see us pay more attention to American history and working class traditions. This is particularly nécéssary in the middle west. In neglecting American history, we leave the field to the Klan, the Legion and other dollar-patriots. “We can fight these eagle-scteaming capitalists by spreading widely the true Americanism, the kind that is kept out of the history books, the revolutionary tradition of this country.” * * . Link Up Our Slogans ITH this comrade and a comrade who was recently picketing, the New York piers in the marine workers strike complain of the slogans and banners used at demonstrations. “The first day at picketing,” writes J. M. of New York, “there were some 20 or 25 pickets going past Piers 61 and 62 at noon, when many dock-workers and seamen were coming from the sheds. Do you know that only a single one of the slogans in our line referred to the strike? Those men coming out and looking at us pickets would have had no way of knowing a strike was on. “Most of the signs read, Dowrf With War, Down With Fascism, Free Thaelmann, Free the Scottsboro Boys. Damn it, why can’t we be practical? Most seamen wouldn’t get an emotional response to such signs. They mean everything to us, of course, and we should try to popularize such slogans. But can’t we tie them up with the workers’ immediate struggles somehow? Can't we do a little explaining? “Hitler has crushed the seamens’ unions in Germany. Free Thael- mann, leader of the German workers! “Your bosses are trying to kill nine Negro boys in Scottsboro, Alabama. Fight to set them free! A fight for them is a blow against the boss! “Ete,, etc., I know I’m not doing a good job, maybe, but the line is correct, Our slogans, our papers, our leaflets, every form of agitation we use, must be addressed to the people who have never heard of our ideas. They are the ones we must keep in mind, they are the ones we must reach, “Really, what good does it do to be constanly trying to convert our own people, who, obviously, are already converted? But that is what so much of our agitational work seems to be. Oan you explain this mystery?” Rooted in the Soil w=. some of this criticism is exaggerated, perhaps, for effect. But it has a sound basis in fact, and things are being done about it. In the past year the Daily Worker has shaken off many of its worst faults along this line. The movement in general has begun to master this fine art of talking Communism in the language of the American masses. A bunch of idle New York intellectuals ‘formed a private little political party of their . . sky-pilots recently and named it the American Workers’ Party. Their chief stock in trade seems to be a hatred of the Communist Party. Their chief criticism is that our party is not American in speech or thought. The gentlemen are wrong. in the American soil. You can tions of this land without find! But when a party is small it was true of the party in the past. the masses more and more. One finds that the same process went on in the Communist parties of Japan, of Germany, of England, and Si coutstries, cultism is one of the childhood ailments of a Communist party. “slowly but surely,we are getting over our isolation. Only renegades, belly-achers and enemies refuse to see this plain fact. a . . . age i i i i | oa GOOD WORK, SYMPATHIZER! ‘When one comrade, who prefers to be named “Sympathizer,” can collect $19, is there any reason why this cannot be followed by every ” reader, every sympathizer, to aid in raising the $60,000, and Mike's own quota of $500?

At the combined final election rally and Soviet an-| Stalin’s ‘Foundations Published Here in Edition niversary celebration held in the Coliseum in Chicago, more than) 1,000 les were sold, and in Cleve-| land copies of the pamphlet) were disposed of in a few minutes. | Similar reports come from other cities in the U. 8. “This edition of Foundations of Leninism, published in such a |large edition, is a bold step, but) justified by the rapidly growing in-| terest in the literature of Marxism-) Leninism,” Alexander Trachtenberg, | director of International Publishers, | points out.’ 1 Workers Seek Answers | ‘This is @ period,” he continued, “in which the mere descriptions of the crimes of capitalism do not suffice. It is necessary for work-| ers to understand the theoretical | basis for these conditions. Armed | with this knowledge, they are then in a position to fight more effec- tively. The fact is that workers on their own initiative are secking an explanation of the root causes for the capitalist crisis and the misery which it has brought in its wake, and that is why they are turning to such basic works as Foundations of Leninism for an answer to the questions which perplex them.” International Publishers, during its ten years’ existence, has pub- lished some of the most important works on Marxism-Leninism, and has provided American readers with the authorized translations of the works of Lenin and other vol- umes of major im ce, The publication of the present| | edition of Foundations of Leninism, | Trachtenbérg points out, is occa- sioned by two anniversaries. “The | {first is of the book itself. It is the} outcome of a series of lecjusss de- livered by Stalin in 1924 before the students of Sverdloy University in| Moscow, shortly after the death of | Lenin. A brilliant, systematic ex- position of the teachings of Lenin, this book ranks with the out- standing classics of Marxism. It has been translated into 26 lan- guages and issued in the Russian language alone in nearly ten mil-| lion copies.” “International” Anniversary This year also marks the com- pletion of ten years’ publishing activity of International Publishers. “The tasks which we have set our- selves are by far not accomplished yet,” Trachtenberg asserted, “But numerous works which perhaps otherwise would not have seen the light of day have been made avail- able, Thesé are contained in our Jeseph Stalin of Leninism’ Is | of 100,000 |Campaign Carried On Under ‘Theory to Masses’ Slogan literary style. What I have in mind is style in the w those particular and peculiar features in- herent in the practice of Leninism which give rise to the special type of the Leninist worker. Leninism is a school of theory and practice which trains a special worker for the Party and the state and creates a special Leninist style in work. What are the char- acteristic features of this style? What are its peculiar features? “There are two special features: (a) the wide Russian revolutionary range of action and (b) American efficiency. The Lenipst style com- bines these two special features in Party and state work. | “The combination of the wide Russian revolutionary range of ac- tion with. American efficiency is! the quingessence of Leninism in |Party and state work. Only this union will produce the finished type of Leninist worker, the Lenin- ist style of work.” | Classics Distorted in the Past Discussing present-day publishing of revolutionary works, Trachten- berg said that it was in striking \contrast to the practises which | prevailed in the days when the! | days when the Socialist Party was | still interested in the publication of | Marxist classics. At that time, he | declared, “such of the few works of Marx and Engels which were | brought out in English were dis-| | torted, poorly edited and mangled l|in translation.” Not only were the » |translations slovenly, but editors |often-times took liberties, not in- | frequently changing the context or} Reproduction of Cover of Joseph Stalin’s “Foundations of Leninism.” | omitting vital passages. growing list of the writings of Marx and Engels, the works of Lenin and Stalin and other foremost Marxists in new and scientific editions; of books dealing with the problems and experience of the labor move- ment in the United States; of authoritative books on the Soviet Union; proletarian fiction and numerous pamphlets covering the manifold problems of our time.” At the time of Lenin’s death, Trachtenberg points out, only the first attempts had been made to collect all of his writings. This tasx was increasing difficult by the fact that many of Lenin’s writings were in the form of unsigned articles, scattered in “Iskra,” “Pravda,” and other Bolshevik pub- lications which Lenin edited during his many years of revolutionary activity. Eight Volumes in English Soon after Lenin’s death, with the establishment of the Lenin In- stitute (nqw the Marx-Engels- Lenin Institute), the task of as- sembling and editing Lenin's work was begun in a thoroughgoing and scientific manner, with the result that thirty volumes are now avail- able in Russian. Of these, Trach- tenberg explained, eight volumes, carefully translated and edited, | with the authorization of the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute, have beén made available to the English- reading public by International Publishers. ; Stalin’s Foundations of Leninism contains the quintessence of the writings of Lenin, Trachtenberg explained. “It has become one of the outstanding classics of revolution- ary literature, like Lenin’s famous works. I i and State and | Revolution, or Engels Feurbach or | Socialism, Utopian and Scientific.” Pointing out the basic impor- tance of Foundations of Leninism, Trachtenberg described the volume “as a grammar of revoluijonary | theory and practice, for in 128 pages Stalin has succeeded in epitomizing | the whole essence of the teach- ings of Marx and Lenin—the whole experience of the world revolu- | fonary movement, including the) epochal Russian Revolution.” Basic Questions Citing the various chaptegs in | Foundations of Leninism, Trach- tenberg pointed out that although | Stalin’s analyses are of the most | profound and fundamental char- acter, the writing is extremely popular. He called attention to the wide | Scope of Foundations of Leninsm, With its masterly discussion of theory, the dictatorship of the pro- letariat, the peasant question, the national question, strategy and tactics, the role of the Communist Party, and “style in the work.” This last-named chapter, Trach- tenberg asserted, offers a vivid example of Stalin’s crystal-clear style. Writes Stalin: | A notorious example of this type of “translation” is found in the publication of a portion of Engels’ |Anti-Duhring which Kerr & Co. | | issued under the title of Landmarks |of Scientific Socialism.

We thought we know all the answers as far as the scab herders and their i tactics were concerned, but it seems that in spite of our exhaustive study of these buzzards we've missed a very important angle. Of course, we've alwayji known that they derived much pleasure as well as profit from their scaly activities, but it remained for ‘andsome ’arry McKenna, the “butterfly man” from Park Avenoo, to show the spiritual side of scab-herding. In order to fully appreciate this little yarn, McKenna’s exact position in the relief racket must be clearly understood. He is the social service “Santa Claus” down at the South Ferry registration bureau. A one man salvage crew whose job it is to rescue stray bits of social wreckage that drift into his office from time to time seek- ing Federal relief. Applicants for this relief are sent into Mac’s “Inner Sanctum” where they are greeted with a grape- crushing handshake (as sincere as it is firm) and the invitation. “Now, then, old man, tell me all about it.” ‘The story is always the same to Mac. No matter what the details are, the final analysis shows just another fellow who must be kept off the relief lists and persuaded to take one of the “thirty cents per day” dishwashing jobs that are being used to preserve the grand old spirit of “American independ- ence” in the ranks of the unem- ployed.

His pose as a Christian friend of the worker was never very convincing, and while no actual proof of his scab- herding existed his guilt was pretty generally suspected by the striking seamen. One day last week, a class- conscious young seaman, who had taken an active part in the ma- rine strike, walked into Mac’s office looking for a job. He was greeted with surprising warmth by Mac who immediately took a personal interest in the boy. Mac relaxed and became very confidential. He gushed and gurgled on for quite a while about life, its hardships and joys, hopes and dissappointments, finally admitting that he, too, had seen better days and was making the best of a bad ‘break. Then came the business of get- ting a job for the young fellow and Mac asked him if he would take a job in a restaurant. “Glad to get it,” said the sea- man, “any half-way deecnt job will do temporarily.” “That's fine,” said Mac, beaming radiantly. “I can send you to an uptown restaurant where you will be put to work at once. It’s a sure job so you won't be wasting time or taking a chance in riding up there.” “How come this particular job is so sure?” asked the seaman, who has already begun to smell a rat or two. “Well,” said Mac, with a coy smile, “the ‘© & L’ chain restaurant | workers are on strike.

Strikes indeed!” “But isn’t there some danger of | Violence?” persisted the seaman, enjoying the situation thoroughly. “Oh no, no, no,” thrilled Mac, “there’s never any violence. The strikers just walk up and down, up and down,” and as he spoke, Mac’s soft litle hand swayed to and fro with all the grace of a ballet dancer. “They just walk up and down, eh,” mused the seaman, who had seen many strange things happen in strikes, “well, it sounds safe enough, guess I'd better be moving if I’m going to work today.” “Yes, you'd better hurry along man,” said Mac, “but before you go we must have an understanding. You must promise to protect me on \'M WARNIN' You ABNER - FIGHTIN’ “he Lawis nor ME Way OF “HE ALMIGHTY / Danger Signal!

And now I want to thank you for all you've done, and the interest you've taken in me.” “Tush, tush, old man . . . glad to do it. You know, if I didn’t enjoy helping people, I couldn’t continue at this sort of work.” And then as a holy light crept into his eyes, he added fervently, “I have a definite spiritual reaction to my work here, and I'm sure that without such a spiritual response no one could do | this sort of work.” “So, there’s a spiritual side to this sort of work,” said the seaman, “very interesting. I'll remember it. Good bye Mr McKenna.” ND so we put the finger on an- other enemy of thé working class. A very dainty pole-cat who is responsible for much of the bad smell along the water front we had attributed to Axtell and Olander exclusively. We must put an end to this strike breaking. The seamen will do their part, and the food workers should certainly take some action. Let them send a committee down to see McKenna, increase their picketing and keep the scabs away from the restaurants, Since McKenna gets such a spiritual kick out of herding the scalies, let’s or- ganize to put an end to his spiritual development! discovered by Marx more than seven decades ago. ee less adequate than his straight | quantitative analysis is Corey's | attempt to present the dynamics of | the decline and decay of American capitalism. With some exceptions, | particularly in the field of politics | where there are many. significant omissions, the facts are there. But {there are concepts and formula- tions that are not Marxist-Leninist, and which do not warrant the blurb that one can find in the book “a convincing, unified economic, his- \torical, sociological and tactical ex- position of Marxism and its revolu- tionary proposals.” To discuss those ideas of Corey which do not jibe with the Marxist- Leninist analysis of the American jscene would require an extended \discussion. Moreover, in the cur- |rent issue of The Communist there and it would not be useful to dupli- jeate the arguments presented there. |It is only necessary to mention Co- |rey’s false theory of the “exhaus- \tion” of capitalism and his curious leonception of an “inner imperial- \ism” in America before the epoch lof monopoly capitalism, as among his most important distortions of Marxism-Leninism. ‘The weakest part of the book is | ing American Revolution. Here Co- |rey neglects or evades all the im- | portant issues that confront the revolutionary movement in the United States today. For example, he says nothing about the role of the Communist Party in organizing the American toilers for the over- throw of capitalism.

Communism is not merely an asser- tion of a goal; it is a science and a set of tactics that will enable the working class to achieve the aim of a classless society, The immediate demands and struggles of the workers form the starting point of their preparation or. the realization of this goal. To evade the tactical questions aris- ing from their immediate problems and actions, signifies that Corey thought prudence, to put it mildly, the safest tactic HIS is the only conclusion that can be drawn from his failure to discuss the problem of the United Front; his “historical” treatment of the trade unions which does nét deal with the trade union questions of the present period; and his avoidance of the Negro question in the United States, which he does not touch on until the next to the last page. There he lists it among the “special” tasks of the American revolution, speaks ab- stractly of “unifying the struggle of the Negro in its social and class aspects,” and nothing e. On the immediate question freeing the Scottsboro boys, on the savage oppression of the Negro masses and their struggle for liberation, Corey, as on all other immediate political questions, fails to take a stand Another example of his evasive position and his dissociation from present problems is his ambiguous talk about the necessity of creating an “American Marxist literature,” with this present volume presum- ably the first adequate creation of |this “literature.” But there is a |tradition of American Marxist litera- |ture that dates back to the work of Marx and Engels on American |Problems. There is the American |Communist analysis of capitalism {in the United States in the period of its decline which began with Lenin and the theses of the Comin- |tern. His dismissal of this body jof doctrine, even by inference, is | proof that Corey also dismisses the | application of its principles by the Communist Party in the daily strug- gles of the American workers. An ironical aspect of his evasiveness is |that his own graphs and tables | prove the correct stand of the Com- |munist Party on such questions as |the N. R.
