Il CHANGE | —§THE— WORLD! By MICHAEL GOLD E HAVE received several very interesting letters dis- cussing our column on recent proletarian novels which we ran some time ago. The letters are particularly interesting because they are the expression of personal opinions about our litera- ture. I think there should be more of this. More of the actual opinions and criticism which workers have to offer about new revolutionary books which appear. Jerome Mellquist, for example, writes: “The American revolutionary writers do not state themselves simply enough. found Cantwell’s Land of Plenty practically unreadable. I sympathized with its subject matter, with what he had to say, and with what he was trying to do. But the result was one of the weakest, greyest things I have ever read. I’ve tried it out on other sympathetic people (one of. them the boy who organized the National Students League at Harvard) and had a similar reaction. Are we all wrong or is the applause uncritical? “I found the Shadow Before better because it was better realized. But it was tough going. I’ve looked into Dahlberg’s new book, and I found that difficult too. What’s the reason?” * . One Opinion “t SUGGEST that these men are trying—like Dos Passos~—to super- impose on revolutionary subject matter a technique which gets be- tween them and the reader. Why can’t they deal simply with the facts of hunger, torture, strikes, death and suffering? They speak for themselves when you write about them. “Grace Lumpkin’s To Make My Bread I find the best of the lot. Her story is slow but it has no phoney technique about it. She's seen and felt what's happened to her mountaineers when the factories made wage-slaves out of them, and I, for one, feel it, too. The book comes out of her experience, and not out of other books. “That's the real difference between real writing and a technical preoccupation with what is intrinsically good and significant subject matter.” On the other hand, M. C. P. has a great deal of praise for our revolutionary novels and points out that, contrary to what Louis Adamic thinks, our books are widely read. And the people who read these books and enjoy them are not only class-conscious workers, but ordinary representativs of the great bulk of the working class population. . . * And Another “NO WORKERS read proletarian novels?” asks M. C. P. “My own experience is proof to me that they do, My copy of Gathering Storm is worn ragged and the same is true of Grace Lumpkin’s To Make My Bread and Jack Conroy’s Disinherited. They are read and passed on and returned to me only to go out again to a long waiting list. And who are these eager readers? A daughter of an Hast Side | tailor, a clerk in an East Side grocery store, a driver for a laundry | wagon, a telephone girl, Negro and white high schoo] students. “They have passed through fifty or more hands, Not a sectarian | group. Some of them are just beginning to think at all, but they like these stories better than anything they Rave ever read before. “I could keep.a dozen more such novels with duplicates of each, busy all the time. They are all young people, so though we may not have had a proletarian reading public two years ago, it is de- veloping just as fast as we can give it books to read. “Not one of these young people, however, can afford to buy these books, they can not even afford a rental charge.” . . And a Third Te letter from Jerome Mellquist raises an objection to contemporary revolutionary literature which Louis Adamic also raised in his criti- cism in the Saturday Review of Literature. It was Adamic’s point that much of revolutionary fiction was written in a complex technique which confused and irritated the working class reader rather than helped him to grasp the meaning of the book. It is very true that both the Shadow Before and Land of Plenty make use of certain technical devices which have been perfected by H modern writers. These technical devices which both Cantwell and Rollins employed are not really the same kind of mystification which the bourgeois writers employ. It seems to me that both these writers took from the little literary groups some of their most effective dis- coveries, 4 For example, Rollins uses throughout the Shadow Before certain typographical tricks. They consist of italicizing, or capitalizing sounds | of industrial life, like the noise of the spindles in the mill, or the { sound of the mill itself, or thoughts of the characters. The words ; are italicized for effect, in order to underline the impression in the reader’s mind. But on other occasions, the writing, I admit, has a certain complex quality, particularly when Rollins or Cantwell are striving to give the whole atmosphere of an experience. Rollins and Cantwell both wish to give the reader the full, sensual experience of the character. In order to do this, they try to crowd up the. whole feeling of the moment; the smells, the sounds, the tastes, the thoughts of the characters. And they try to give this im- pression as a living person receives it in real life—all together, all the senses working at the same time. This is very difficult and requires from the reader the same kind of appreciation of the importance of doing this as the author has, It seemed to me that Rollins par- ticularly succeeded in doing this excellently and with as much simplicity and directness as was possible, . “Simplicity” * can’t they deal simply with the facts of hunger, torture, strikes, death and suffering?” asks Jerome Mellquist. But, Comrade Mellquist, are any of these facts which you speak of so “simple”? Is death or hunger or torture or the progress of a strike such a “simple” matter? Even to understand and to grasp the full meaning of a strike in its political and economic implications re- quires a great deal of time and study. Think of the task the revolu- tionary writer has who is striving not only to explain the so@ial forces operating in a strike, but to give you a living picture of the living people who participate in a strike! It is an extremely difficult task—and one which, to a writer who is anxious to give his best, is of terrific proportions, I think that the effectiveness of these books is not hampered by the technical devices they have used—the devices were determined by their efforts to ex- plain something—but increased. If we grant that these devices are the results of sincere efforts to reveal significant problems about men and society, the very fact that these authors dealt with them gives them an importance the book might lack if these things were neglected.

This organization, however, exposes itself to attack from all quarters if, either through lack of artistic forces, or lack of self- imposed discipline, it permits a re- cital of the calibre of the first ap- pearance of revolutionary dance groups this season on December 23rd at Town Hall. The recital was not only ill-advised artistically, but unfortunate from the technical end as well. | The affair was premature, at least two of the new dances should have had a few weeks more rehearsing, some of the others should never have been presented on the concert stage at all. The groups were not at their technical best ,although certain dances were outstanding. The Anti-War Cycle, by the Theatre Union Dance Group is a revolution- ary dance with consistent dramatic Fower and ideological scope. It projects first a picture of depression and starvation, then the betrayal of the starved masses into war by the machinations of the viciously | satiric diplomats, and finally the upsurge and defiance of the be- trayed. Pioneer Marches, by the same group, were vivacious, spirited dances, no more and perhaps a lit- tle less than the title implies. The new dance by the Theatre Union Dance Group, Forces in Op- position, was an interesting, but loosely constructed number. Based abstractly on a poem by Essenin, of the savage horse on the Russian steppes who attempts to race with a strange opponent, the locomctive, and loses, it seeks to show the old, dissolute order giving way to the new organized society. Were the title more explicitly revolutionary, and the choreography and costum- ing altered to symbolize the revo- lutionary situation, there would be no need for the poem as a program note. Sateen eK ‘(AN DER LUBBE’S Head, on the other hand, by the New Dance Group, dealing with the farce of| the Reichstag trial and fascist tor--! ror, makes frank use of a poem confusion therefore. It still remains the most gripping and finished dance of this group. Charity, their} second offering, while particularly | appropriate at this time of the year, still needs to find more interesting dance construction to put over its idea. Much more malice should out- line the picture of the capitalist, much more more wit should vary the pseudo-religious choruses of the group, much more satiric dancing and less humorous pantomime would make the dance even more of a favorite with its public than it has been in the last few years. We Remember, their new dance, was unfinished and irregular in per- formance, The suite has three parts: the first showing comrades mourn- ing at the bier of a dead fellow- worker, the second a flashback to the scene of action—the strike at which the worker was killed, the) third, again at the bier where respect to the dead is paid not in mourning but in a turning away tinue the struggle in the name of | all those killed in class wars. It) Group was unable to present at! this time a dance worthy of so) stirring a theme. The first part fell | just short of sentimentality; the strike section was confusing and formless; the last section. too. needs | a richer and clearer continuity. ‘When we come to a discussion of | the Nature Friends and the Red Dancers, another problem Presents | itself. These groups have neither technical finish nor thematic rich- ness to characterize thém, and when added to that they receive un- musical accompaniments and are is disastrous. Red Workers March- ing was uninspired, the music was unimaginatively used, and the ut- “Rote Front” by the dancers did not help the performers any. aay hs INDER, Kirche and Kuche, de- picting the limited role of women under the Nazi regime, with the young pioneer entering at the end of the dance as a promise of lib- eration, could be condensed to about one-half its original length and the, idea still be projected effectively and clearly. As it stands now, it seems repetitious and long-winded. The same can be said for Black and White, a duet dealing with the uniting of a Negro and white worker when they realize they are equally exploited and betrayed. Sell Out lost almost all its points by the omission of the complete song the dance illustrates, since the Page 5 ‘Revolutionary Theory |WORLD of te Documentary Account Of United Front F ight In Important Pamphlet By Earl Browder Secretary of the Communist Party URING the ten years of iis work, | International Publishers has suc- ceeded in making available many of the basic works of Marxism-| Leninism. It has provided us with | the necessary theoretical weapons ™ EARL BROWDER | to be used in our revolutionary work, Here I would like to em-| Pphasize the thought that our revo-| lutionary theory develops right out| of and is a part of our revolution- ary practice in the class struggle. Bourgeois society has not only, separated the people into owners and workers. It has also separated} the human faculties and placed} them in opposition to one another, | Knowing and doing are two entirely | different categories in bourgeois) society. Those who know—they do} not do anything. And those. who} do anything—they are not supposed | to know anything. Bourgeois s has placed a deep gulf betwe theory and practice—so much so, that in the ordinary popular sense one who is particularly ineffectual | in action is spoken of as a “theo- rist.” Of course we cannot accept these, traditions and conditions of bour- geois society. Just as it is our task not only to understand present-day society, but to change it, so also it is our task to smash this seeming contradiction between idea and ac-| tion, between theory and practice. Theory is our guide Theory grows out of action. Theory | for us is the instrument of revolu- tionary action, and it can be the! instrument of revolutionary action only insofar as it is theory which is drawn from international experience of the class struggle and the devel- opment of human society. * * . E do not create theory out of our heads. Our theory grows organically out of the develooment | and maturing of the revolutionary class, the working class. It is a his-| toric product. It has the same ob- jective character as all scientific principle. And in just the same way as it is necessary to be very in-| tolerant against all those who wish to revise the fundamental knowl- edge of mankind in order to insert | in its place the arbitrary creations, | the phantasies of the individual mind, so also, it is necessary to be intolerant in the struggle against all tendencies to replace our scien- tific knowledge and our scientific practice with individual, small-group | revisions of our revolutionary body! | of the past struggles, do we develop/| , Our ideas are not forces in them- | Selves. They are instruments of the! ry. For it is only the prole- ta the only revolutionary class in capitalist society, which is capable of understanding and developing the of theo: scientific principles of social devel-| opment. Our Communist Party accused of being narrow, dogmatic and intolerant, lacking in broad- mindedness, because we struggle against all individuals and groups who try to revise, change and water down the essential features of | Marxism-Leninism. In our approach to the masses whom we are striving to win, to organize, to mobilize for the revolu- born and persistent.

This theoretical intransigence, | this unyielding adherence of the | Communist movement to the rev- | olutionary theory of Marxism- | Leninism is not sectarianism. It is not dogmatism. It is the nec- | essarv pre-condition for the smashing of sectarianism of all | opportunist tendencies in the | working class, * . AUR theory is developed in life, in mass struggle. Onlv through mass struggle can this theory grow and develop further. In our theoreti- cal literature we make available the knowledge that has been accumu- lated from the experience of the past struggles in order to solve the problems of present and coming | struggles. Only in these struggles, by arming ourselves with the lessons the theory, the knowledge and the vractice that makes up Marxism-| Leninism. | The works of Marxism-Leninism arm the leading cadres of the work- ing class with weapons which give| them the ability to resist the influ- ence of class enemy ideas. to combat them, to overcome them. With them | they can master the ideological weapons of Marxism-Leninism and/ put them into effect in the mass struggle. that slogan of our great teacher) Marx, that an idea becomes power) when it is seized upon by the masses, masses for the carrying through of the class struggle. In greeting International Pub-| lishers on its Tenth Anniversary, we must at the same time realize that we have not done all that was necessary in extending the distribu- tion of Marxist-Leninist classics. One of our most important tasks now is to bring the great heritage of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin to broader masses of the workers. | The two special anniversary pub- lications of International are es; cially suited for this task, Th: 100,000-edition of Joseph Stalin's classic, “Foundations of Leninism,” | should reach at least 100,000 work- ers.

MOVIES Development of a White- Collar Worker THE NEW LEGION, produced by Henry Allman, photographed and directed by Irving Browning, sce- nario by Manon Miller. Presented at The New School, Dec. 22, by the Film and Photo League. Reviewed by ED KENNEDY i ia NEW LEGION is a film about a white collar worker who be- comes class-conscious. This film was made possible by the unstinting nm to it by Henry Allme who gave liberally of their time and money. It is unfortunate, there- fore, that before work began, and money was expended, more thought to the basic problem—what to say. and how to say it. It is too bad that comrades more experienced in | writing scenarios, were not con- | sulted before production began. It} is not enough to want to do a movie about present day problems; one must also know a little, at least, | about writing. | The story of the film is about a! white collar worker, who. at first | heckles a party organizer, then, due | to the rigors of the depression sees | the correct path and becomes an} organizer himself. All our slogans are carted in, thereby weakening | the central thought — “organize.” | The feeling of time is twisted, and | youthful symbols retained. Our | early agit-prop work should have | taught us the incorrectness of this | top heavy approach. One thought | must be taken, and built slowly, firmly, convincingly, developing it to a strong revoluticnary climax. The | New Legion has no convincing nor | moving dramatic content; in fact it | has none. | But now let us look rather at the! | brighter side of the production. Irv- | ing Browning, the cameraman and! director, has done a fine piece of work. He had a very difficult fabric | to work with and pulled it together | as well as possible.

Workers School A great many units, sections, and working class mass organizations have lately felt the pressing need of finances due to the increased struggles being carried on in New York. This acute need has forced most organizations to apply the same methods of raising finances at the same time thus “flooding the market” with the same type of col- lection lists, tag day boxes, etc., making it difficult to raise funds for any of them. Proper ways of raising funds steadily, without the necessity of resorting to such “emergency” cam-' paigns will be one of the points taken up in the course on Finances ‘documents as source material, THE ADVANCE OF THE UNITED FRONT: A Documentary count, With an Introduction, b; Alex Bittclmen.

And the local struggles in which Socialist and Communist workers have fought jointly against their common class foe, is the best indi- cator of the determination to forge the united front in action on a national scale. In their efforts to achiev unity which is so necessa: welfare, the workers are fa t only with the open hostility within the ranks of the working class. It is against those who m their enmity with radical sophisms that we must direct our critical attack. We must expose all of their false reasons for rejecting or postponing the united front. An Invaluable Pamphlet An invaluable ally in our fight | against such enemies and straddiers will be found in the pamphlet under review. Here is a documentary ac- count of the struggle for united action which every class-conscious worker should possess, study anda utilize for the advance of the united front. Its importance lies in the irrefutable facts that it presents. In compact form you find the most im- portant documents issued by the Communist International and the American Communist Party on the question of the united front in the past two years. They range from the historic appeal of the Com- munist International in March, 1933, to the world proletariat for | the organization of united actions, through the numerous proposals of the Communist Party to the Social- ist Party for the realization of the common front of struggle that is so necessary for the entire working class, The value of the pamphlet is heightened by Alex Bittelman’s an- alytical introduction. Using the he presents the political context out of , which they arose, and the political actions to which they lead.

Upon the and in fact , there lies class-conscious worke: the responsibility of fighting for the united front. He must see through the false issue of “good faith” which the burt S raise as a barrier to united action. Last summer Earl Browder, secre= tary of the Communist Party, an- swered this question in the form of a challenge to the Socialist Party leadership. He said that “the Com- munist Party is prepared to dem- onstrate its good faith in any agreement for a united action by the only method through which good faith can be demonstrated, by carrying through the agreed upon actions with all of its energies.” This plain talk has been under- scored by the successful united actions carried out by local Social- ist and Communist organizations.
