DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1934 Page T CHANGE —THE — | WORLD! By MICHAEL GOLD “WWJHAT the hell,” asks J. A. Easton, from California, “is a poor musician going to do when he is a Bol- shevik in thought and sympathy and a dumb director puts the score of ‘Life of the Czar by Glinka’ on his stand for him to play? “You know what all of those bootlickers did when they composed music of this character. They glorified the Czar with the idea of raising themselves to a position of eminence in old Russia. In other words they prostituted their art. Glinka was not such a bad composer. His melody and harmony is not so much to be criticized as the way in which he subordinated and prostituted his art to win favor and what he thought was success. “Beethoven for his period was a revolutionary composer—not a Bolshevik but one who was in conflict with and opposed to the autoc- racy of his time. When he composed the Eroica or Fifth Symphony he planned to dedicate it to Napoleon. Of course, Napoleon was an adventurer but he was raising hell with the various monarchies of Europe. This led Beethoven to believe that Napoleon was trying to wipe out the old monarchial forms and establish a so-called free democracy. When Napoleon named himself Emperor, Beethoven dis- appointed and furious, turned against him and withdrew the dedica- tion. To that extent at least Beethoven was a musical revolutionist. He was not a bootlicker for royalty like most of the musicians and other artists of his time. He was defiant and sullen and so far as his music was concerned he refused to subordinate or prostitute it to the glory of Kings and Emperors and the rest of that political tripe. A Predicament ELL, Mike—here was my predicament. How in hell was I to play ‘The Life of the Czar’ glorifying one of the most abominable op- pressors in all history, thus insulting my own intelligence and pros- tituting my own emotions? What would you do? If I played this music I was not any better than the prostitute artist Glinka who bootlicked for the Czar. If I played it I was untrue to my beliefs, which ere more ihan skin deep. If I played it I was siding with the Czar against Lenin—with the oppressors and counter-revolution- ists against the liberators and revolutionists—siding with old Russia against New Russia. What would you do, Mike? . . The Czar is Dead “IKE, I blew up. I said to the director: “The Ozar is dead.’ “The director glanced at me curiously and said: ‘What do you mean?’ “I said: ‘The Czar was an oppressor—an autocrat. He is dead— he got exactly what was coming to him—I don’t like this music— it don’t appeal to me.’ “The director said: ‘The Czar was a victim—it is true he had @ weak will but he was a kind man—’ “Well, that got me. I threw all discretion to the wind. I blurted: ‘Kind, hell—he shot down defenseless unarmed workmen who peace- fully demonstrated in St. Petersburg to ask for bread—shot them down in cold blood—he exiled other workmen to Siberia—placed others before firing squads—he was a hideous tyrant—you say he had a weak will— yes, a weak will and a weak mind—they should have killed him long before they did—it was a good riddance—’ “They were all aghast. The director did not know what in hell to say. It was a scene, a damned dramatic scene. The director rapped to begin. “I said: ‘Can’t you play something else?’ “The director ignored me and I got up. “I said: ‘I won’t play this miserable stuff—If you want to put something on the stand to honor and glorify Lenin—yes—I will play that, but I refuse to draw my cello bow to honor or glorify a. miser- able tyrant—’ “The director interrupted: ‘You are bringing in politics—music has nothing to do with politics—’ “I blurted: ‘The hell it hasn’t. When you place this piece on a Program you are showing your sympathy and glorifying Old Russia. An autocracy of the rich. And you are condemning and insulting New Russia. Music like all else has its roots in economic necessity. This composer was a bootlicker who prostituted his art. I refuse to play such rot. I am not in sympathy with old Russia. I detest every- thing the Ozar stood for. New Russia is building a real civilization.’ * * * Walking Out on the Czar “DY THIS time, it was a drama. Some of the musicians looked at me so black that I knew the anti-Red hysteria was at work in their ignorant intolerant minds. Others began to register sympathy and approval of my stand. But net the director. He rapned to begin. “I said: ‘Then you can play it without me.’ Then I picked up my cello and left my stand. “The director gasped: ‘Why, Mr. Haston—’ That is all the director could say. “Furious, I walked out of the orchestra and deliberately placed my cello in its bag. Then I left. “Well, anyway, there was so much excitement and division by this time that the damnable music collapsed after a few bars and the director actually withdrew the piece. But I was through. To hell with such bourgeois tripe. v “Well, Mike, I thought I’d tell you about it. Now what the hell would you have done?” Well, Comrade Easton, if I could play the cello and I had as much determination as you have, I would have done exactly the same. As you say, the Czar is dead . . . but Comrade Easton is very much alive. Bravo! . HE'S NEARLY THERE!

He attended the Writ- ers Congress and visited many collectives. He contributed to Prayda, Kolkhoznik, The Literary Gazette, and is American corre- spondent for the Soviet Peasants Gazette and the French “Voice of the Peasant.” This is the first of four articles dealing with life among the farmers and peasants of the Soviet Union. * 2 By BEN FIELD 'HENEVER, there is a holiday or celebration in the Soviet Union, the big square opposite the Peasant Guest House in Moscow is sure to be full of flowers and vegetables from the Stalin Collective truck farm. For May Day, International Youth Day, Nov. 7, Stalin Collective farm sends out its products, its ma- chinery, even pictures of its best farm workers. There is competi- tion between this square and Col- lective Farmers Square which is near the building of the People’s Commissariat of Agriculture. There is competition between the Stalin Farm and the Smychka Farm, whose farmers make 25 rubles a day throughout the year. There is friendly socialist competition be- tween the Stalin farmers and trac- tor drivers like Ivan Bashta, who has recently set a world’s record by sowing in eight hours 203 acres with a caterpillar tractor and a 5-hole sowing machine. The Stalin Collective is only| about a stone’s throw from Moscow. | You can spot it on the northern | highway with its flower garden, the red star and the great head of Stalin made out of flowers. And here I spend an afternoon with aj correspondent for an English capi- talist paper and a Russian emigre, | now a banker in France. The English correspondent has been in Russia before and is en- | thusiastic about the progress on collective farms in the last two| years, Only she insists that farm- ers in Poland are also well off. It) seems she has not heard of the armies of pacification sent into the | Polish Ukraine by the Pilsudski government nor of the 60 Polish | peasants hanged from one village alone. The emigre has obviously | been here before. He says nothing, looks at the earth and then off at: the horizon where a single church still sticks up a spire like a silver watch key, | Three of the collective farm peo- j ple show us around. There is the chief agonomist Lozovoy with his | bright eyes, soft brown beard. His trouser legs are fastened with bike , clips.

Three hundred individual : peasants, the population of seven! suburban villages, pooled their} horses and labor. The Moscow City Council helped by giving the new | collective land. The collective coy- ' ered 420 hectares of land, 90 of} which were not arable. In 1931 the city had to take 140 hectares (there are 2.5 acres to a hectare) paying the collective for all expenses and investments. Moscow couldn’t help herself. Her population was rapidly increasing, she was growing out powerfully into the country. In 1932 the city was again compelled to take more land. Now the col- lective is one-fifth of its former site, | * No Conflict Between City and Country But there is no conflict here be- | tween city and country as you find under capitalism. The Stalin col- lective farmers are no longer the peasants of the old days who, like | all suburban farmers are in the very hot breath and paws of the greedy capitalist city. In the first place Moscow gave the collective much of its land without asking for | a kopek. Then the city paid the collective for all its expenses and investments. The city has never arbitrarily fixed prices at which the collective had to sell. The city is run by workers. The collective is represented on the bureau which sets prices in Moscow. Members of | the collective themselves help set and control prices for their own farm products. And now to cap it all the Soviet city has helped the collective by giving it a fine farm | about fifteen miles away, the former estate of Leo Nazov, Baku oil king. Stalin Collective farm is what bourgeois economists like to call a submarginal farm. The land is hilly, stony, half of it looks like dumps. In the United States farming such land drives the poor farmers deeper and deeper into debt, giving the: hawks of the bankers and insuran:e In spite of the task of getting American Farm Expert Describes Life On the Stalin Collective Truck Farm | Whitewashed Women’s Dormitories Full of Sunlight by one of the farmers, an excellent likeness.

There are no more peasants in the neigh- borhood to involve. Many of the peasants have graduated from the collective into Moscow factories. And in spite of all its handicaps, the collective has been able to make gross profits of 1,600,000 rubles in 1932 and 1,700,000 rubles in 1933.

Farmers of such submarginal farms are now being helped in greater numbers to other farm land, to sub- sistence homesteads where with | Roosevelt's help they will not be able to market their produce, where they will be cut out of the market, where they will be rock-chained by loans which will take generations to pay off, where they will be “helped towards peasantry” by being encouraged to be self-suffi- cient: make your own soap, get caught in the old spinning wheels.

The rest of the Stiff Pay Cut I Strained faces and furtive whisp- ers are the order of the day at the New York Public Library, where many employees have just been given a long awaited “Christmas gift” in the form cf a stiff paycut and where the rest of the workers are awaiting similar treatment. For several years the fact that there had been no cut at the library had been used as an excuse for speed up and verious forms of r2- ression, but, with the advent of Harry Lydenburg as director in place of Dr. Anderson, resigned, rumors of a “shake-up” became rife. Now these rumors have become realities.

WICKS Agit-Prop Director, Communist | Party, District 3 (Philadelphia) | Now that there has been published an edition of 100,000 copies of Stalin's “Foundations of Leninism,” to sell at 10 cents each, it is the , duty of every Party member and sympathizer to see that this inval- uable work of revolutionary theory and practice is widely popularized. Let us hope that this laudable act of the publishers will be followed by large popular editions of all the writings of Lenin and Stalin. Such a policy will tremendously aid in equipping the revolutionary van- guard with effective fighting weapons to smash back the capitalist of- fensive and launch the working class counter-offensive. | Prof. Henry Wadsworth Longfel- low Dana will speak Sunday, Dec. | 16, 7:45 p.m. over Station WIXAL, 6040 kc., on Contemporary Ameri- can Drama. 7:00-WEAF—Religion in the News WOR—Sports Resume—Ford Prick WJz—John Herrick, Baritone | WABC—Advice to Fathers—Sketch 7:13-WEAF—Variety Musicale WOR—Maverick Jim—Sketch WJZ—King Orchestra 7:30-WABCO—Ghost Hunting by Micro- phone—Dr. E.

He contended at the National Academy of Sciences that his theory will enable researches into the causes of blood pressure to be conducted with better precision, once it is known that the thicken- ing of artery walls is the effect of high blood pressure. GETRUDE STEIN IS A PALILALIA According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, Ger- trude Stein's “writing seems to be the result of a stream of conscious- ness of a woman without a past. After characterizing her in this Rutzlputzlian fashion, the journal goes on to analyze her condition. “Those familiar with such sym- toms as automatic writing, palilalia, perserveation and verbigeration are inclined to wonder whether or not the literary abnormalities in which Miss Stein indulges represent cor- related distortions of the intellect. Having reduced her from a veg- etable to a brazil nut, the journal in a ruthless fashion continues, “This spontaneous automatic write ing by Miss Stein is that of a sec- ond personality split off from her conscious self, and unfortunately &@ personality without any back- ground, intellectual opinions or emotions.’ Slightly mad!
