seem to attract the best elements on every campus, and at Dartmouth, - to lead, in @ united front with the League for Industrial Democracy, RPaPaGaGieg PHILADELPHIA, Pa. —THE— || WORLD! —— By MICHAEL GOLD OMEWHERE in Massachusetts: And now this old train is puffing and groaning through the state that mur- dered Sacco and Vanzetti only a short century or so after it had begun a revolution at Bunker Hill! : I am returning from Dartmouth College, another speaking stop on this tour. The night before that it was Smith Col- lege and tomorrow night it is the University at Syracuse. There is something attractive in talking to these college gather- ings. You feel.a quick, fresh response in the audiences: they are quick on the uptake, and like humor and color in their speakers. Of course, it is a minority that is seriously interested in any problem other than football and dances at these American colleges. Here one doesn’t find a mass of militant students, ardently concerned with the destiny of the human race, the fight for liberty, all that life and death struggle for a better world that some esthetes sneer at as “poli- tics.” No, these students aren’t as mature as the students of South America, or Europe, or the Orient. The American college was built in the medieval tradition, far from the centers of industry and struggle, Culture was consflered by its founders, most of them theologians, as something remote from the work-a-day world, like religion. Dartmouth College is as removed from reality as a medieval monastery, In the tales of Boccaccio, Rabelais and other historians, however, we learn that the monks had improvised sufficient amusement to compensate for their lot. These husky college boys, stuck away here in the beautiful New England hills, also see to their fun. You get @ feeling from some of them as if they were sitting on top of the world. The depression, the new world war looming on the horizon, unemployment—all these things exist on some other planet. Life is a glorious country club, and father pays all the bills. You almost envy them for a moment, until you remember that every one of these cheerful good-natured lads, yes, every one, is due for the most bitter disillusionment. For they will graduate into a world that will let no man take his comfort, be he poor or rich, a feeble-minded plute or a hungry- minded pleb. Many of these boys are ripening for the fascist storm troops, but many of them, also are waking to liberalism and Com- munism. * * Islands of Democracy e u ie old democratic tradition of New England was a fine thing in its time. When one meets it incarnated in some odd member of the old stock, occasionally, it furnishes almost an esthetic thrill, so perfect does it seem. Dartmouth College, like Smith College, still has an hereditary trace of this old New England liberalism. There is no R.O.T.C. here, training officers for the next capitalist slaughter, A free discussion of political and economic problems still goes on. When the depression deepens, these islands of the old democracy will undoubtedly be swamped in the dark, bloody ocean of fascism, as was the case in Germany and Italy. Meanwhile it is good to breathe their bracing air. . . . Some Mossbacks Are Horritied! EPRESENTATIVES of every sort of political and economic group are invited here to speak. The National Students League is active in stimulating this, of course, but the college itself has a fund for such purposes. And it was the Dartmouth college authority itself that invited the Mexican painter, Orozco, to paint his famous murals on the walls of the cellar of its library. A few mossbacks have already protested against these murals, though they happen to be about the finest and most powerful examples of the dynamics of the pictorial art one can find on the American continent. This Orozco is one of the great masters of our time, but he also hapvens to have a terrific, if sometime confused, hatred of the capitalist system. So no wonder conservative old Dartmouth graduates are amazed when they come back and see what has happend to their chaste walls, For here Qrozco has painted a flock of mean predatory buz- zards with white ecclesiastical collars around their ruffs. Another section pictures a group of capitalist educators in all the colored gowns of Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and other famous universities. The Scholar’s gowns are good to look at it, but the things wearing them are skeletons. And out of a disintegrating horrible skeleton, capitalist society, a horrible embryo, a college graduate, is being still-born. Around the operating table are many glass jars of alcohol in which are pickled other embryos, complacent in their decay, and wearing the student mortarboard of a new graduate. ® * . The Babbitts Are Comforted {ee murals are a history of the American continent. The invasion of Indian America by the European imperialists is shown; and the terror and death they brought. There is the rise of the great fortunes, bankers hugging their gold coins, while drab school children gather around a school-teacher equally drab, and can find no life. And here at the end, after other such scenes, one finds the strength and beauty of working-class construction, and a thoughtful giant worker in overalls, studying a pamphlet, If you are ever in New England, Dartmouth is worth making a Pilgrimage to, to see these murals. There are many such pilgrims, already. Who knows, some day Dartmouth may be remembered as the college that permitted Orozco to paint his revolutionary murals. But it comforts the babbitty old grads that these murals are in the cellar of the library, where not too many of the students come, since it is a study room, and only a minority goes there. Now if it had been the gymnasium! . * * The National Student League 4 kanal NATIONAL STUDENT LEAGUE has become a remarkable organization that in a few years has redeemed most of the Amer- ican colleges from their chronic dry-rot. College is almost worth going to, if only to help in the fight this youth is making. They as at other colleges, it is a stimulating experience to come into contact with their members. In three short years, as Theodore Draper points out in the New Masses, this League has become national in scope, and powerful enough a demonstration against war last April of some 25,000 students. That is a big percentages of the total student body in America, Draper thinks the students are a focal point for winning the middle class over to the workers, a process that has already begun. The American League Against War and Fascism, I have discovered on this trip so far, seems to me an equally important organization in this task. It has real possibilities for becoming a mass united front organization, something like the eople’s Council during the last war, which contained, as I remember it, almost a million adherents. Some reactionary Socialist leaders still block such a united front, even in the face of immediate danger of war and fascism. But they can succeed as little in this as did John Spargo or Upton Sinclair in their attempt to convert the rank and file of the Socialist Party to ‘Woodrow Wilson’s liberal war.

A. Hathaway. | Workers’ School News from East To West Coast OVER THE TOP When the students of the New York Workers School were informed three weeks ago that they were lag- ging in the Daily Worker-National Training School Drive they pledged not only to fulfill their quota ($1,500) by December ist but to go over the top. No efforts were spared to achieve this end. The Socialist competition among teh classes and students was intensified to such a degree that on November 29th the drive committee proudly an- nounced that the quota had been filled. Over $1,600 has been colected to date. When the collection lists still outstanding are sent in the final figure will be found to be much greater. The School is overjoyed at hav- ing gone over the top so creditably. The students feel proud of their achievements. They correctly con- sidered their activity in the drive as an importdnt phase in their training. The Shock Brigade Classes and Shock Brigaders in the Drive will receive their prizes on December 8th when the School will wind up a most successful Fall Term with a dance The dance will be held in the School Auditorium, 35 E. 12th St., 2nd floor. The Chicago Workers School, 505 S. State Street, is conducting a series of Sunday night Forums on current topics.

A. Doran, Jr., at the Morosco Theatre, directed by Lee Strassberg. Reviewed by LEON ALEXANDER GREAT many of our readers will probably see this play in the next few weeks when various labor organizations have planned benefits at the Morosco Theatre; they may be impressed with the sur- face excellencies of the play and disagree with this estimate. I feel, therefore, that I owe both the au- diences and the Group a careful, ertical evaluation, even though it may involve a statement of ele- mentary ideological and critical con- cepts. The author, Melvin Levy, has chosen to deal with the turbulent, formative period of American im- perialism, and to tell his story in the terms. of one man’s rise to power. That man is “Gold Eagle” Guy Button who begins in 1862 as @ seaman, decides early in his life that he will be a rich man. gains possession of a small steamshin line in 1864 and through continuous ag- Brandizement bulids that small company into the “Gold Eagle Steamship Company” which by 1906, when the play ends, controls the commerce of this country with the Orient, A truly magnificent theme. The play is not therefore bad in the sense that the average Broadway offering is. Its story at least is not trivial and shopworn. But hav- ing chosen a significant theme, the author and the producers have turned it into an incompetent, swashbuckling romantic play. Every significant and important social factor has been omitted for the sake of far-fetched, violent episodes which strain probability to the breaking point, * . QUY BUTTON emerges as a unique figure, a solitary phenomenon, a freak, a sport of nature. Nowhere do appear woven into the texture of the play, dramatically expressed and not merely talked about, those social circumstances that made Guy Button possible. There were other men in that period, equally grasp- ing, equally ruthless, who were creating even vaster industrial em- pires, and with whom Guy Button must have come into contact, fought and compromised with. There were the speculators, the gamblers, the vultures who during that period tried to grasp into their hands every rising industry of the young nation. There is nothing of them in the story which Melvin Levy has writ- ten. Guy Button lives and acts in a historical vacuum composed of magnificent sets and costumed Puppets. And what about Guy Button’s relations to the workers who manned his ships, his docks, his Warehouses? What was the effect (Reprinted from The New Republic) upon them of the crisis of 1879 which almost wrecked the financial structure of San Francisco, and from which Guy Button emerged @s a banking power? What were their dealings with Button in that time of suffering, of unemployment, of starvation? The workers are never seen, and only vaguely heard of, in the third scene. | But the worst of Melvin Levy’s omissions, one that amounts to a misconstruction of history and which carries with it some dan- gerous implications, occurs in the fourth scene. This is the badly told story of Guy Button’s struggle with the newly-risen competition of Jap- anese shipping interests, subsidized by the Japanese government. Seek- ing a short cut to the creation of a shipping industry, the Japanese | offer to purchase Guy Button's fleet, jor threaten ruinous competition if he refuses. The harm done in that scene lies not only in the portrayal of the Japanese—the author makes of him a stock, oily Oriental, that Scarecrow created by the “Yellow Button stands forth as a forthright American business man—but, by omission, we are left to imply that the U. S. government adopted a hands-off policy, and remained strictly neutral in a conflict that involved the control of the Pacific. Guy Button stands staunchly alone against the Japanese government— and to save his skin, he is com. pelied to rob his own government Of some three million dollars in gold bullion in transport on one of his ships, and to sink that ship and its crew to hide his theft! (ols ane 9 | hype LEVY disingenuously tries to disarm historical criticism with two lines in the program: “For the purposes of drama, the author has taken liberties with cer- tain historical facts in reference to people and events.” However, the question is not one of strict historical veracity; there is a historical truth thai goes deeper than dates and events. ‘This truth, in a play, lies in the full aware- ness of those social forces and con- flicts that have shaped a period and the people of that period, and in the dramatic communication of that awareness. That is whet we had a right to expect from “Gold Eagle Guy,” and that is what is completely missing from it. pais wai E A play dealing with such a long and important period, we might also have expected from the author a whole gallery of significant fic- ures; Melvin Levy has not drawn a single, full-length portrait to re- member, not even Guy Button him- self. Even he is depicted only in terms of one or two traits, one or two impulses; he does not emerge out of this two dimensional plane as a flesh and blood human being. The other characters are only vague and bare outlines; worst of all are the women.
