WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 18, 1934 Page 5 ‘CHANGE | ——THE — 13 Wwor.p! ——__-———. By MICHAEL GOLD -QOME know Henry Ford as the inventor of the flivver, the magnate of Detroit, a notorious Jew-baiter, and as a pious church-goer. But how many people know that Henry is the king of a great empire which embraces three million seven hundred thousand acres, and which is his for the duration of his natural life. How many people know that Henry is King Henry the First of Fordlandia? This is not a satirical fable after the manner of a modern Vol- taire. There really exists a place called Fordiandia, and Henry is its King. Seven years ago, a tract of land on the banks of the Tapajoz River, in the heart of the Brazilian jungle, a dismal, swampy place, inhahited by a few “syringieres,” or rudber gatherers, caught the eye of one of Henry's industrial ambassadors. It was called Boa Vista, which means Good View, and when the metallic glim of Henry’s emis- Sary down the broad winding Amazon looked upon its richness of rubber, its tall sprouting fertile rubber-giving trees, he claimed it in the name of his lord, Henry of Detroit. And he named it Fordlandia. ‘ Fordlandia | ss desire lies squarely on the Tapajoz River, one of the greater tributaries of the Amazon. The nearest town is one hundred and thirty miles distant and the nearest seaport is Para, seven hundred miles away. Every afternoon, in Fordlandia, rain falls. It falls out of the sky as regularly as though there were an alarm-clock in the heavens. And when the rain stops, the sun comes forth again and blazes with tremendous heat. The jungle swamps steam like volcanoes. The jungle swelters. But at night in the forests the great cats howl and the long boa constrictors twist their great shining powerful lengths around the trunks and limbs of ancient jungle giants. I am supplying these details myself. I have never voyaged down the Amazon in a riverboat or a native canoe. I have never seen Fordlandia. Now it may be that these details no longer exist since Henry became King of Fordlandia and the Tapajoz River became his. They did exist seven years ago when the Yankee with the metallic eye first gazed upon the fertile rubber trees. Today, however, all these Pleasant details of native life inay have vanished. Henry’s agents may have put silencers on the tigers. The boa constrictors may have been eonverted into conveyors. The steam out of the jungle swamps may already have been dammed up in gigantic boilers. If these things haven’t been done as yet, one can expect them. Fordlandia is doomed to become civilized. Civilization Comes to Fordlandia IOWEVER, in the brief seven years that Henry has worn the kingly crown and carried the sceptre of his Brazilian empire, great changes have already been wrought in the native life of the Amazon. The people of Fordlandia are approximately four thousand in number. This is not a large population, but with sufficient time the populace will no doubt manage to increase its progeny and lift its census rates. When Henry came to the Amazon, they lived in wretched adobe huts, and they died of insect poisoning, and typhoid infected their drinking waters, and their morals were none too good. They wore little clothing because the sun was so hot, and they had many children and many wives, these “syringieres,” and they gathered the rubber from the rubber trees and sold it in baskets in the séaport of Para. They were a sleepy, good-natured people, very primitive and perhaps a little bit content with themselves and their own lives. But Henry’s emissary came and he saw the fertile rubber trees and he knew that in his faraway kingdom of Detroit, his lord and master was sorely in need of a rubber ficld all his own, in order to have rubber for the tires of his flivvers. It was costing his lord many hard earned dollars to purchase the rubber which the brigands who had captured the rubber sources and rubber markets of the world sold to him. And so, Fordlandia was born, and great changes came to the people of the Tapajoz River. Detroit In the Amazon 'HERE by the silent waters of the Tapajoz, sprang up a little Detroit. Henry built the houses for his workers and subjects, not wretched adobe huts, but modern American four room houses, with baths, modern drainage systems, telephones and electric lights, and a little plot of ground in the backyard for a garden. And when this was done, a set of laws were drawn up for the people of Fordlandia, and first and foremost of these laws, was that every Sunday each worker must go to church and never, not even one day a week must he sleep witii an unmarried maiden. This is the first commandment of Fordlandia. If there is any breach of the moral code established, drawn up, administered and judged by Henry the First, the subject is banished forever from the baths and the electric light of Fordlandia. Then he can go back into the swampy and smoking jungle to live in sin forevermore. And besides these, Henry brought to Fordlandia a Main Street, movies, jazz, cafeterias, Boy Scouts and four football teams. Now, it is strange, that when the ambassador came to Fordlandia and he saw the thousands of rubber trees in full growth, he did not immediately begin to cut the trees and take from them their rubber for Henry's tires. Instead, he cut down thousands and thousands of these trees, destroyed them, laid them waste, and when thirteen thou- sand acres of land had been cut down and cleared, and thousands of trees with so much useful rubber butchered, Henry's ambassador, who is chief engineer, began to plant the sé¢eds of new rubber trees. It takes five or six years for a good tree to grow, and the market price may be higher then. When the new trees are grown up, and modern scentific methods of manufacturing rubber have created the new product, then Henry will have in his hands control of a great rubber field. He wil be able to fiood the market with his new low-price rubber. And what of the other brigands? Will they let Henry undersell them? They will try to sell cheaper than Henry. And pretty soon in Fordlandia will come lay-offs, and speed-up, and wage-cuts. Then perhaps war. At first the Fordlendians will wish to be back in their primitive inno- cent pre-Ford paradise, Then somebody will say: We make the rubber. ‘We are the workers. We are strong enough io drive out the chief engineer and declare a republic. A workers’ republic. Then Ford- landia will become Soviet Tapajoz. And the people will live happily ever after. “LIVELIEST AND MOST READABLE” Franklin N. of New York City, when he contributed $3 (previously recorded), added: “Allow me to express my appreciation of your col- umn, which is by all odds the liveliest and most readable column pub- ® .

His only concern is to save the American people from the horrors of another war, and to accomplish this end he frames his own kidnapping 24 hours before Congress is to declare war.

That “The President Vanishes” appears at this time is by no means }an accident. It is organically a |part of the intensive war prepara- | tions which find expression current- \ly in the fake munitions investiga- tion and in Roosevelt's “take the | profits out of war” smoke-screen. || SAY most unequivocally that “Th President Vanishes” is a part of the general propaganda machine set jin accelerated motion by the Roose- velt Administration to prepare the masses for war. (This film, like its twin, “Gabriel Over the White House,” was released with the full sanction of Roosevelt.) This may sound a bit paradoxical to some who have seen it. “How,” they wili cbject, “can you call 4 film war |propeganda which exposes the fi- ‘nancial and industrial pirates of | American capitalism as the real makers of war? How can you so jlabel a film in which the aims of ; these sharks are defeated and | peace, not war, triumphs in the | end?” I asnwer that this brand of smoke | is in perfect harmony with the con- | sistently sustained line of dema- | gogic camouflage from the moment | the phrase about “driving out the | money - changers” first boomed |through millions of radio loud- speakers until the latest “take the | profit out of war” blah was let | loose. Need I compare the phrases {and the facts in this brief review? Life itself has already shown us how the “money-changers” have been driven out; how the “forgot- ten man” has been remembere: what old capitalist deceit and trick- ery is contained in the “New Deal.” It is these lies that “The President Vanishes” extends into a new realm: that of the feverish prepa- | rations for war now going on. | There are “stubborn facts” which the ruling-class is forced to take |into consideration in order that their propaganda might have the desired effect on the masses. The }fact that war is staged to safe- guard and further the interests of a small group of capitalists, for in- stance, is a fact which has by now so thoroughly saturated the con- sciousness of the masses that in “The President Vanishes” this truth is conceded in order that the fraud of the film’s lesson might be car- ried to a higher level. The President of the United States and his cabinet are our sole guarantee against wars waged for profit. Their only concern is to safeguard the interests of the “peo- ple,” etc. The inescapable conclu- jsion reached by the spectator is that sheuld a war be declared with the full concurrence and consent of the President, then certainiy that would NOT be a war for profit be- hind which stand the bankers and | industrialists, but an honorable (War, a necessary war deserving the | support of “all the people.” That |is also the essential significance of the “take the profit out of war” time to deliver a speech which wins | America to his determined stand | Lamont, Robert Morse Lovett, and W.

Reviewed by JERRE MANGIONE FEW months ago I was talking with a newspaper corre: t who had just returned fro: Soviet Union, where for seven years. From and his conversation I Was an enemy of Communism was therefore rather s' hear that on his way back t ica he had called on friend, Romain Rolland.” ROMAIN ROLLAND “Comrade Rolland . .. your friend?” I mused. “Rolland is no Communist!”, re- torted the newspaperman. “He is an humanitarian.” It was a reply characteristic of a die-hard liberal who refuses to see further than his nose. As I read “A World in Birth,” the fifth and last book in Romain Ro!l- land's novel, “The Soul Enchanted,” I was at once struck by Rolland’s uncompromising revolutionary stand and his implicit faith in the Soviet Union: two attitudes that are not as emphasized in the four preced- ing books as they are in this one. By the time I reached page 50, I knew that the newspaper corre- spondent had, as usual, been talking through his hat. Rolland is no mere humanitarian. He is not only a Communist at heart, but, what is more important, a Communist in action. It is, naturally, difficult for some liberals to accept the fact that a writer of Rolland’s great | Stature has deserted liberalism and dilletantism once and for all, and taken his placé with the revolu- tionary movement. tee who have read the pre- ceding volumes of “The Soul | Enchanted” realize that this is no {sudden turn on Rolland’s part. His | other books have paved the way for this grand finale; his story has | always moved with a keen awate- ness of the times. Sometimes the revolutionary aspects of his theme have not stood out sharply, for al- though Rolland has been able to see the broad phases of the chaos about him, he has not always been able to group his characters into a revolutionary path. His interest {in personalities has at time, dis- | tracted him and compelled him to spend time with situations and char- acters that were superfluous to his main themes. |_ In “A World in Birth,” however, Rolland sums up the basic implica- ‘tions of the other volumes, merging them into one single tremendous theme, the battle of Communism against Fascism. He does this chief- ‘ly through the medium of Annette, the heroine of “The Soul Enchanted” who is one of the strongest and bravest women of modern fiction and is, in many respects, a reflec- tion of Rolland’s own personality and development. A woman with a profound love for humanity, she finds herself early in life fighting the emaciating forces of capitalism—not, at first, as one who understands the class struggle but as a humanitarian and pacifist. TUNING As the conflicts become more nu- merous and sharper, the classes more clearly divided, Annette real- izes that force can only be com- batted with force, th her place $ the revolutionary movement. has been spent in fighting oods: the pre-war falsehoods, the world war falsehoods, and then the falsehoods encouraged by the bourgeoisie and limated by the s It has ys been a los- because she has been a with the Communis' It is an inevitable develop- in her character which any llectually - clear feader could have forseen earlier in “The Soul The main conflict de- veloped in this last book emerges ‘om the relationship between Marc, Annette’s son, a hardened individ- ualist who still retains the illusions of a liberal, and his wife, Assia, a Russian refugee who is Rolland’s personification of Soviet Russia. Throughout the preceding volumes of this novel we watched Marc fight- ing with all his might to preserve his precious individuality. In this book we are made to see what little use his individuality is to him in the midst of capitalistic insanities, His wife knows his struggle must inevitably lead to fascism of Com- munism. We hear Rolland speak- ing through one of his Communist characters: “This is not the epoch for young Hamlets, stuck on the edge of the cemetery. ‘To be or not to be.. ” He who does not want to be, him be buried!” We see the conflict between Assia and Marc reflecting itself in their personal relationships and leading to their separation. When they are united again, it is because Mare has embraced Assia’s attitude toward life, and begins to take a militant part in Paris’ revolutionary activities. CTION is the main keynote. Every character is aware that he must force himself to fight off the con- ditions that are smothering human- ity or else be smothered himself. The intellectuals who, hitherto, have been so far-sighted that they have missed what has been going on under their very noses, are driven to active stands. The cynics drop their cynicism and become active in the revolutionary movement. Marc is killed by a band of Italian fascists when he tries to save an old man and a boy from being clubbed. Annette, “the soul en- chanted,” dies. The only one of the main characters who survives is Assia, the Communist. There is probably no living author who writes as beautifully and as lucidly as Rolland. It is, therefore, disconcerting to find that he often lets the mood of his characters determine his style. When hé is writing of Annette, for example, he is apt to let her intuitional person- ality dominate his writing. His phrasing becomes languid with the mysticism that comes of worship, and he brings up concepts that are closer to religion than they are to Communism. When he writes of Assia and Marc, on the other hand, his sense of objectivity, even when |he is dealing with intensely sub- jective moments, remains clear-cut, unhampered by the vagaries of per- sonal devotion, and strengthened with the convictions of a revolu- tionary writer.
