He was an enlightened capitalist, and it really didn’t matter that he owned his great factory. Ownership was unimportant; let the capitalists take their tribute; under a system of enlightened capitalism the workers could afford to iet them have it. There would be more than enough to go around; capitalism could give the worker more than socialism in real goods. So it ran, the beautiful fairy tale. Evans Clark, of the Nation, and Charles W. Wood, Stuart Chase, Walter Lippmann, Otto Beyer, Sidney Hillman, George Soule, just about every one of the gullible and capitalist-minded liberals, who are always so eager to find reasons against socialization, enlisted in the propaganda division of this “new during No bullfaced hirelings shall divide us, With arm linked into arm; No fascist gangsters shall deride us For furthering their harm; Let Capital fume, we'll bear the brunt ‘With a communist, socialist, Workers’ Front! HERE is printed the thrilling call for the National Congress for Unemployment and Social Insur- capitalism,” just as most of them have now rushed to the cushy jobs in the N. R. A. bureaucracy. European labor leaders with millions of starving and rebellious workers on their hands, crossed the Atlantic and visited Detroit, then returned to their native lands to soothe their bitter armies with this newest and shiniest model of capitalist pap. Yes, it was quite a myth. And it blew up with a great bang and a nauseating smell during the depression. Thousands of Henry’s “happy” workers now roam the Detroit alleys and streets, eating out of garbage cans. The Little Father is too busy keeping up the profits on his in- vestments to worry about the human beings he has used up and scrapped. to ask for relief, King Henry met them with an army of thugs and shot and tear-gassed his slaves, and killed three. This Ford massacre a year ago ended all this liberal talk about Ford’s benevolence forever. It is hard for Henry's publicity machine to revive the useful myth, and even the Nation rarely praises him now. . . A Brutal Despot ‘OING through the Ford plant here in Detroit is one of the great American sights, really more interesting than visiting the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls. Here is the ultimate thing in capitalist exvloiiation, this fabulous factory which covers hundreds of square miles, and owns its own coal and ore mines, its own rivers, docks and ships, its own forests and rubber plantations and cotton fields. It is an empire ruled by one man—a specialist who is a giant in his own narrow field, but who otherwise is an inferior and poisonous human being, mean, egotistic, suspicious, miserly, brutally insistent to the point of bloodshed on his own whims, a moody despot with a mind more provincial than that of the most barbarous village Baptist. How incredible it will seem fifty years from now, that such a man could have had the power of life and death over hundreds of thousands of his fellow-men, We marvel that the Romans tolerated Caligula and Nero, but our posterity will marvel at us for having accepted the rule of Henry Ford and his like. . . . Heil, Ford! EARBORN is the city where the Ford plants are located. The mayor, the judges, the newspapers, the schools, the cops and dicks and streets and saloons—everything here wears the Ford trademark— belongs to him frankly and openly. It is like Nazi Germany. There are spies everywhere, listening to whispers, searching for dangerous thoughts. All that is lacking is the Aryan salute, and the obligatory, Heil Ford! Ford controls the moving pictures you see in Dearborn, the history and ideals your children are taught, the editorials you read. Ford tells you how late you may stay up at night. Ford controls your street car fare, and the jokes you may tell. America is supposed to be the land of individualism. But Ford- ism is the thing the capitalists have established in many parts of the country, end wish to make universal. They want a land of dumb, willing robots, who will work themselves out by the time they are forty, and then quietly go off somewhere and die. Yes, the old story that Ford makes robots of his men is not at all exaggerated. The conveyor belt is a horrible sight, a great device to murder the human soul. It need not be; it is used in the Soviet Union, and men work hard there, too. But not at this inhuman tempo. In the Soviet fac- tories the workers are allowed five minutes off for smoking and re- laxation at the end of every hour. Here a man can’t go out to the toilet more than twice a day; and it means much red-tane, everything but a royal permit from Henry himself. Dicks and spies and foremen swarm everywhere, with their beefy faces and suspicious little eyes. There must be a snooner and strong- arm to almost every worker, one sees so many of them. Workers are not allowed to speak to each other. It is against the rules for two or three to get together in the toilets, which are watched incessantly. * . . An Inferno of Fear HE speed-up is terrific. A visitor gets dizzy watching a man at work. They work hard in the Soviet Union, too, but for every spy and slave-driver one finds at Ford's, there is a doctor or social worker busy in the Soviet factory, to see that men do not overwork, or break down. The Soviet workers get vacations of a month with full pay; they have no fear of unemployment or accident; they are insured against all the contigencies of life. Here one passes through an inferno of fear. You can see it in the eyes of these driven men. None of them knows but that he will be on the streets tomorrow, where thousands of his fellow-workers now roam. None knows when the inevitable accident will strike him down, leaving him another forgotten victim on this battlefield of capitalism. Just in an hour, I saw three recent cripvles at work in the plant. Two of them had bandaged hands, and a finger was missing. They worked with one hand. This was Henry's philanthropy—the way he ayoids paying compensation. In one department one sees scores of elderly and middle-aged matrons, concentrated on the big punch presses they operate. Many of these women, it is easy to see, should not be at work. They are mothers who have worked all their lives, and under a Soviet system would be given pensions and a last few years of comfort. But they represent one of Henry’s numerous “philanthropies.” These are women whose husbands have been killed in the plant. Henry pays no pensions, but he allows the widows to work for him. It is said that a man is killed almost every day in the Ford plant, and that this never is printed in the papers. Henry is as secretive about such things as Hitler about his own butchery. Breaking Through the Terror Bo tt would take a year to know Detroit and to know intimately all the strange details of Henry’s “philanthropy.” More than any- thing he fears trade unions or any other form of self-organization of his slaves. He controls everything, and yet even here, as in Nazi Germany, brave rebels break through the terror. Leaflets are dis- tributed, union agitation goes on, toilets are daubed with working class slogans. Often on the conveyor belts the workers will find copies of the shop newspapers which the Communists at Ford’s publish. Nobody squeals on the Communists, and the spies can’t help Henry.

Because this “decency” campaign is against the best interests of the workers in and out of the movie industry, we call upon all movie goers, all movie workers, all work- ers’ organizations to reject the pro- gram of the Legion of Decency, and in doing so to reject the program of Hollywood.

Little Lefty CHALLENGES MINNEAPOLIS 'ESPONDING to our suggestions for revolutionary competition between districts and sections on the amount of literature payments to the center, the Pittsburgh Litera- ture Department has challenged the Minneapolis Literature Department to make more regular and larger payments, and increase the sale of theoretical literature. Since the store was opened we have already increased the sale of: “The Communist International” from 10 to 100 copies. “The Communist” from 50 to 100 copies. “Party Organizer” from 100 to 200 copies. “We expect to do better in the near future,” concludes the Pitts- burgh challenge.
