There must be at least two hundred people in | the line at a time. And more come in. | Every minute new ones come in, They pour through the door at the entrance where there are four big cops and a special dick with a badge on his coat lapel. Inside there are two more big cops. They | seem to pick the biggest cops in the precinct for the job. You never can tell what may happen | here. There are two lines like that. Two hundred workers at least in each line. Backed up against the tiled wall. Single file. Four hundred people. Waiting. Waiting for hours. Waiting until every- thing aches with waiting. Feet and back and shoulders. Waiting and standing up for hours. No benches. Or just one. The bench that holds four at a time in front of the interviewer's table. That’s where you hand in your application slip. | That's where they check up on you. Four at a time. | | | It takes hours. And you stand and wait. Wait. Until everything aches. Feet and back and shoulders. hat’s why you can never tell what may happen. ‘That’s why every ten minutes the police car comes driving around to the Home Relief Bureau. That's | why there are so many cops. In case all these | poor and jobless and hungry people got tired of waiting? In case they got tired. and desperate standing up against the walls for hours, while the | thin long line creeps forward a bare inch; an im- | perceptible shove at a time? In case they used | those hands, toughened and hard as iron with | countless years of labor, now hanging at their sides, to take over the management of this relief station? What then? They would destroy this line. There wouldn’t be any standing for hours then. They’d give themselves the relief they need because each knows the need of the other. That’s why you never | can tell what may happen. That's why there are | so many cops and every ten minutes the police car comes driving around. | Bas ae | | It Happened Once ’ : HAPPENED once before here. They lost their temper once. They got tired of standing and answering stupid questions. They were hungry and they wanted relief. It began with a woman, a big brawny Swedish woman. For hours she had been standing in line. If you've never been on a line in the Home Relief Bureau you don’t know | what it is. You don’t know the feeling you get standing there, hour after hour, like an animal, like a dog waiting to be fed. Nobody talks. Nobody says anything. You just stand, Somebody asks | a question. What do they ask you? How much relief do you get? Somebody tells you How tough he’s been having it. How long he’s been out of work. How they’re going to be put out if some- | thing isn’t done soon. The city has set up these Home Relief Bureaus. ‘They had to sat them up. Everybody knows that. They had to set them up. But they made it as difficult as possible to get relief. It is given grudg- ingly, and wound around with yards and yards of red tape.

Suddenly, she walked out of line, just walked right out, and plunked herself down in the | chair of the interviewer. In the interviewer's chair! | The staff of the Home Relief Bureau must have had a fit. Imagine, having the nerve fo sit down in a chair! But she sat there, the big woman, folding her hands deliberately across her broad breast and waited. For a moment the big fat cop, the ugly one, just stood and stared at her. Then he asked her to get back in line. She refused. She said she was sick and tired of standing up there. She had children to atterfd to. She had a home to take care of, Hadn’t she worked and slaved long enough? Did she have to come crawl- ing on her hands and knees to get a piece of bread from the city? Was it her fault her husband was | out of work? She wanted to be taken care of. She refused to stand any longer in that line that moved forward an inch at a time, while the steff went | gossiping to each other. If they were short- | handed why didn’t they hire more people? They took the people's money through taxes, why didn’t they use it to help the people instead of grafting it? | The cop said: You gotta get up or get out. But | he forgot something. He forgot that four hundred people standing on line there felt just as the big brawny Swedish woman felt. He forgot that her words were the words of all, her thoughts were the thoughts of all. He thought he was dealing with one woman, but he was facing four hundred people who had suffered as she had and felt as she did. ls * . A Brief Episode Se refused to leave the chair.

I. Lettin, PE eae | CHAPTER I. The Life of Lenin VI. Re these propositions were put forward by Lenin already in the first weeks of the War. With his/| invariable method of sharp and ex- act demarcation of the line of fight, leaving no possibility of confusion behind vaguely “internationalist” and “anti-war” phrases, Lenin) marked out three tendencies in the | international Socialist and labor movement as it developed under the conditions of war (most fully worked out in his “Tasks of the Proletariat in Our Revolution” (V.| I, Lenin, “The Revolution of 1917” {Collected Works, Vol. XX, Inter- national Publishers], Book I, pp.| 130-157) in April, 1917, after the! tendencies had completely revealed | themselves) : First, the social-chauvinists—rep- resented by the majority of the leaders of the official Social-Demo- cratic parties in the various coun- tries, Henderson, Scheidemann, Re- naudel, etc. These are “Socialists in words and chauvinists in fact, peo- ple who are for ‘national defense’ in any imperialist war.” Of these | Lenin said shortly: “These men are | our class enemies. They have gone | over to the bourgeoisie.” | Second, the social-pacifists or Center—represented by the Kautsky | Social-Democratic minority in Ger- | many, the Longuet minority ‘n/ France, MacDonald, Snowden and the leaders of the Independent La- bor Party in England, etc, “The ‘center’ does not call the workers to overthrow the capitalist govern- ment, but tries to persuade the pres- ent imperialist governments to con- | clude a democratic peace. ... The ‘centex’ insists on unity with the defencists on an __ international scale.” Of these Lenin said: “The| ‘center’ is a realm of sweet petit- bourgeois phrases, of international- ism in words, cowardly opportunism, and fawning before social-chauvi- nism in deeds.” Third, the revolutionary Inter- nationalists — represented by the Spartacus goup of Liebknecht and | Rosa Luxemburg in Germany, and by the Bolsheviks, and by groups and individuals ( John Maclean and Tom Mann in Britain) ap- proaching towards their standpoint in_ other countries. The core of Lenin’s leadership on | butchery on the war fronts, Life and Teachings of Lenin By R. PALME DUTT imperialiss war was the slogan “transformation of the imperialist war into civil war.” This slogan was derided and denounced on all sides, also by the majority even of the Socialist leaders who took part in Zimmerwald, as the mad dream of an emigre out of touch with reali- ties, But history was soon to show where the realities lay, when the revolution broke out in Russia in March, 1917, The Victory of the Revolution in Russia 'HE Russian Revolution was from the outset a mass revolt from below. It was begun by the workers of Petrograd striking and coming out on the streets under the slo- gans, “Down with the War “Down with Tsarism!” and “Give Us Bread!” A continuously rising movement of strikes and demon- strations reached its height in the }early days of March, when hun- | dreds of thousands of workers came on the streets. The Cossacks refused to strike down the workers, The victory of the Revolution was sealed when the soldiers sent to shoot down the workers began in increasing num- bers to come over to the workers, and to assist in shooting down the tsarist special police. There was no alternative before tsarism but abdication. ‘The long-delayed collapse of tsarism was only the more com- plete because of the wholesale eco- nomic and administrative disor- ganization and breakdown conse- | quent on the War, the utter cor- ruption and demoraligation of the upper classes, the unparalleled the ruin of the peasantry and the starvation of the masses in the towns, The February Revolution [the revolution which overthrew the Tsar took place in February, old calendar, March, new calendar, and is known as the February Reyolu- tion. The Bolshevik Revolution which overthrew the Provisional Government and established Soviet Power, took place in October, old calendar, November, new calendar, and is known as the October Revo- lution,—Ed.] was the achievement of the working masses and of the | soldiers alone and of no other.

The aims of the mass | revolution in March were in es- |sence, in the germ, the same as | those that finally reached realiza- | tion in the October Revolution: the jaims of peace, of bread, of land, j and of @ new social order, But there was not yet any clear | political consciousness, any con- | sciousness of the necessary path to the realization of these aims, save among the still small Bol- |shevik vanguard. Therefore a | process of intense political develop- |ment had to take place, during the |eight months from March to No- | vember, before these aims could be realized. | Bi es8, 3) | 'HE eight months from the first to the second Russian Revolu- tion of 1917 were thus eight months of* rapid unfolding of the class | struggle, of successively clearer revelation of the role of each class |and its representatives, and of the intensive political development and | awakening of the masses up to the final point of the conscious conquest of power by the workers in union with the peasants and es- tablisment of their own form of | government. | The decisive role within this process of development of the | political valguard of the working class, the Bolshevik Party, which grew in strength with the advance of the masses, from a minority to a@ majority position, and carried the advance forward, and which | Organized and led the conquest of | power and formed the new govern- ment. The decisive role within this leadership of the Bolshevik Party was the leadership of Lenin. The Petrograd Soviet of Workers’ and Sailors Deputies was formed |immediately on the victory of the February Revolution. Similar So- viets sprang up rapidly all over the country, and were the natural democratic instruments of the | masses, far more democratic than any parliament. But the Soviets had at first no conscious intention of taking over the functions of the government, . ee tT politically inexperienced masses in the Soviets or Coun- | cils of Workers’ and Soldiers’ Depu- |ties put their faith at first in the |Menshevik and Socialist - Revolu- | tionary politicians; the Bolsheviks were at the beginning a minority, based only on the class-conscious | workers, The Menshevik and So- |cialist - Revolutionary leaders in | their turn hung at the tail of the bourgeoisie and begged the most prominent bourgeois politicians to form a new government. Thus the bourgeoisie, who had played no part in the Revolution, were able to form a Provisional “Revolutionary "Government under Prince Lvov and Milyukov, the Cadet (Constitutional - Democrat) leader, with one representative of sky, connected with the extreme right Socialist - Revolutionaries, as &@ “popular” representative.

Produced by the Group | Theatre and acted by the cast | of “Gold Eagle Guy,” on January | 6 at the Civic Repertory Theatre. . 'T requires some effort to suppress the urge toward superlative: | reviewing “Waiting for Lefty,” but a sober appraisal will, in the long run, prove more useful to the young revolutionary dramatist Cliff Odets | and his audience than would a | burst of cheering. Cliff Odets has | displayed an uncommon ear for the American vernacular and an un- ‘common literary gift of turning the | vernacular into pithy, luminous and | galvanizing dialogue. What is more important, he writes in the idiom of the drama, in terms of character, | poignant dramatic situations and tense emotional crises. | Propelled by his burning revolu- | tionary fervor and by an essentially | clear guiding idea, this young play- wright swept the audience off its feet by the sheer power and sin- | cerity of dramatic utterance, which was amplified and given vibrant |resonance by the magnificent per- |formances of the Group Theatre players. But the very gush of his dramatic say has resulted in a woe- | ful looseness of play structure and in | vitiate his message. | Ostensibly the play deals with the walkout of the taxi drivers. | But the meeting of the taxi drivers | serves merely as a _ convenient jexcuse for a series of flash-backs | into the homes, offices and lives of the group assembled on the plat- form, . Unable to stand it any longer, the people in Odets’ play decide to have it out with the |monster of capitalism They refuse to take it lying down, and the more timid among them are urged on }and shamed by the womenfolk to | | go into battle. | THERE is something naively. yet | 4 touchingly romantic in the way | the taxi driver's wife in one episode jand the secretary of a theatrical | producer in another pour courage jand fight into the hearts of the | | meek men with the aid of fervent | revolutionary slogans and militant | exhortations which now and then | deteriorate into mere sloganism ot | exhortations which now and then | deteriorate into mere sloganism or | rhetoric. But there is also poignant drama in these tense situations. Confront- ed with the alternative of losing his | wife or going on strike to gain a decent livelihood for her, the taxi driver of the first episode decides | to join with the strikers and re- | his scornful wife. | Dismissed from the hospital be- | cause he is a Jew, the young doctor | refuses to cringe and go a-lobbying | but is fired with a high resolve to devote his life to the destruction of | the system that makes such things possible. Forced to give up his sweetheart because he loves her too much to| | marry her on starvation wages, the | young taxi driver tries to hide his tragedy under a guise of wise- cracks and low comedy, but breaks | }down in the end and breaks the | heart of the audience as he does s0. Though each episode is eloquent |in itself, all of them put together | fail to make a play. The young | dramatist is apparently too cramp- ed within the bounds of a mere taxi | strike and he leaps to the broader | arena of generalizations. He aban- thus weakening the effectiveness of his message. ; HERE is something compelling and fascinating in the fervor and driving sincerity of the play, but here and there it rings with rasping “leftist” overtones. The | speaker at the conclusion of the| play urges the strikers to fight | “with guns in both hands,” and the taxi driver's wife declaims high rev- olutionary words all out of keeping | with her character or with the| given situation, The same, to an even larger degree, is true of the) theatre baron’s secretary. Here and Answers This department appears daily on the feature page. All questions should be addressed to “Ques- tions and Answers,’ ¢ /o Daily Worker, 50 East 13th Street, New York City. Does every child in the Soviet Union Does everyone ha Question: go to public and high school? the chance to study?—J. M Answer: One of the greatest achievements of the Revol 1 was the transformation of @ nal tem into the finest in the world. Because the Soviet Union started with such a bad heritage, it took time to introduce the neces- sary changes. At the end of the First Five Year Plan, however, compulsory elementary schooling was made the cornerstone of child education. By the end of the Second Five Year Plan compulsory high school education will be introduced all over the Soviet Union. This will be the only country in the world which will have this as an integral part of its educational system. But it is not only the children and the young people who study and have educational opportuni+ ties. Formerly the peoples of the Sovfet Union were so backward culturally that they were called the “dark people.” Once they had liberated them- selves from the oppression of Czarism they iiteraily transformed themselves into new people. They have practically abolished illiteracy. Everyone reads and studies. More than fifty million peovle are engaged in some kind of educational activity. Work- ers and peasants have become engineers and scientists and writers. And even the worst enemies of the Soviet Union admit that the Soviet worker is well on his way to being the cultural and educae tional equal of anyone in the capitalist world Contrast this remarkable progress with the de- cay of education in capitalist countries. In fascist nations, especially Germany, the educational system is being systematically scrapped as an expensive luxury. For education they are substituting military training from early childhood.

It is offered as a substitute for modern medi- cal practice. The reviewer in the Journal reports that it lists herb teas affecting metabolism and making for “blood purification,” some of which have half a dozen ingredients. As the teas gain in complexity, running up to seventeen ingredients, they are of- fered as cures for scrofula and rickets, gout and « rheumatism, diabetes, arterial sclerosis, goiter and Syphilis. Every quack remedy of the past has been dug up and offered as a cure. course, that the remedies are based entirely on » “German herbs,” The healing book has been issued by Hippocrates, a journal which attempts to bridge the gap between “school medicine and biologic medicine,” and be- tween homeopathy and “nature cures” in an efe fort to construct a new German art of healing. Its motto is that “the Third Reich does not want to breed mere medical men, but physicians who can think biologically (?).” The Nazi method of thinking “biologically” is™ to resurrect the herb teas and superstitious prac- ~ tices of the primitive German peoples, and to sub- stitute the unscientific practices of the medicine man for modern scientific medicine | habilitate himself in the eyes of THE DEATH RATE RISES By juggling statistics bourgeois experts are able to prove that the crisis has been a boon for the’, workers as far as their health is concerned. But the conclusions of honest scientists prove that the crisis has exacted a heavy toll which is rising as.. the cumulative effects make themselves felt. Dr. Edgar Sydenstricker of the Milbank Memorial Fund forecasts a higher death rate for 1934 than id He also emphasizes - for the two previous years. that it is the unemployed and their families who have borne the brunt of the crisis. The death rate among the families of the unemployed during 1931- 1932, the last years for which figures are available, was 43 per cent higher than the death-rate among families of employed workers. He also reports that in 1933, while the officiel death rate was declining, the death rate among industrial workers was rise ing, although.workers with jobs were not the ones who were the hardest hit by the crisis. ITEM FOR THE MUSEUM dons the particular for the general, | OF CAPITALIST DECAY During the past years some 2,000 men were en- gaged in surveying and mapping for the govern- ment on an emergency relief projest. After the work was well under way in eighteen states it was discovered that the maps which were heing made were inaccurate because of the antiquated and in- ferior instruments being used. Consequently the chairman of the Board of | Surveys and Maps recently asked Secretary of the Interior Ickes for an appropriation of $180,000 to buy modern high-grade equipment. The reply said that the matter could not be considered. Thus the government goes on making maps even though they are so inaccurate as to be almost worthless.
