DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1935 Page 5 es. —— By MICHAEL GOLD SIXTEEN-YEAR old boy in Anderson, Indiana, got into trouble with the po- lice recently. With some other young kids, he had held up a grocery store. He was caught and he pleaded guilty. Instead of sentencing him to the reformatory, Judge Charles E. Smith, a man of most original mind, invented a most ingenious alternative. For sixty days the boy was to hike twelve miles up and twelve back, from Anderson, Indiana, to Alexandria, the scene of the clumsy rubbery. He was to carry a 20-pound load on these hikes, which was exactly the weight of groceries stolen. If he refused this punishment, he would be sentenced to the reformatory. He accepted, and there was publicity over the freak case, and the judge is re- ported to have been highly pleased with himself. * . * Swell Publicity Stunt Rae newspapers have followed up this freak story. The second day of this 1,440 mile hike the tem- perature was below freezing when the boy left the jail. He shouldered his sack, containing four pav- ing bricks weighing 20 pounds, and set forth. A snow storm broke upon him half way, and it grew even colder. Weary, footsore, his face burned by the wind and cold, the skinny, undeveloped boy reached Alexandria four hours later. He was in tears, but he ate a noon meal, and talked to the reporters. He said he had turned down four offers from automobiles for a hitch. He would abide by the judge’s decision, though he almost wished he had taken the reformatory sentence. “I’m going back to high school when I get out of this jam,” he said. “I really didn’t know what I was doing; it was my first robbery and my last.” At 2:30 the snow was still falling, the wind howled over America. And this American boy, exhausted, tearful, ashamed of his public humilia- | tion, set out for the hike back to the jail. This time it took him five hours to struggle through twelve miles of snow and gale. Somewhere the smart old judge was basking by a radiator, sitting in a saloon with other greasy ward politicians. They must have congratulated him on the publicity he had acquired. Now they could get him that nomination for a higher court. Or maybe it was only his wife who congratulated him in the sacred privacy of an American home. She knew her dear husband was smarter than most men, and would make the big city papers some day. Or maybe the judge’s own boy came from high school and said, “Gee, dad, all the guys are talking about that sentence you gave that tough kid. Everyone asked me about how you came to have such a bright idea.” He was proud of his dad, whose name was in the papers, and his dad was proud that the kid was proud. This was a good kid; no robber of grocery stores; the son of a judge never thinks about grocery stores, or about food; the maid sets it on the table for him. * . . Youth With No Future E need a Chekhov, to take a thousand such in- cidents raw out of our American life, and weave them into sad and heartbroken tales of this dark land. It is a minor incident; certainly there are enor- mous mass cruelties in the land that make this , white-faced boy plodding through snowstorm only a trifling episode. But often such trifles reveal a whole world, a cruel, self-satisfied capitalist world, where millions of proletarian boys and girls are adrift. They are the children of the crisis. Their parents are feeling hopeless, and there is nothing waiting for the children, even if they are able to graduate from high school. Millions of them have grown up, not knowing what it means to have a job, or even the hope of one. They are a whole generation of youth that has no future. They cannot look forward to be- coming skilled mechanics, or to working their way up in some office, or to practicing a profession. ‘They have killed in themselves any romantic dream of marrying, or having a family. They have no money for little pleasures; they loaf on the streets, or in poolrooms and coffee pots, rusting away daily and bumming cigarettes. It is all abnormal, and is it any wonder so many of them these days break down and commit these petty thefts? For ten dollars worth of groceries they chance their hopeless lives. And it is then that the smug judges and capitalist newspaper publishers first take notice of them, express pious indignation, or invent slick torture for them. The only answer the capitalists have for this situation is jail or the militarized work-camps. They would shove this army of youth into uniform. Since they have no normal life to offer them, they train them for war and death. The youth is desperate. They have no political experience, and are ready for anything that seems like action and that promises them a few meals a day. These millions of depression boys make up the fascist armies of Hitler and Mussolini. It is one of the most dangerous problems the working class faces in America today. It seems to me, the revolutionary movement has badly neg- lected the youth. How mechanically minded some of us are. How difficult for us to see clearly the outlines of the special problems. Many of our com- rades think you fight fascism only by showing up Hitler. But to win over and neutralize the youth 4s of life and death importance. ~ Just Out HUNGER a REVOLT: Cartoons by BURCK This beautiful, DeLuxe edition is limited to 100 numbered and signed copies.

Today, with a growing membership of over 50, it is already an important cultural | force in the home town of Leopold | Stokowski and Curtis Bok. Its pur- | poses are three-fold: “to help bet- |ter the condition of the profes- | sional musician and teacher; to | play, speak on and discuss the vari- |ous forms of music, both new and old; and to hely in the cultural | development of the various work- | ers’ organizations throughout the \city by sending groups of speakers land musicians to them.” Meetings ‘and concerts are held weekly in the club rooms, 116 South 19th Street, on Friday evenings, and reviews of the musical programs appear reg- | | ularly in the capitalist press. The first of a series of monthly | concerts on a larger scale was given in the auditorium of the Ethical Culture Society on Rittenhouse Square, on Friday evening, Febru- ary ist. The Stringart Quartet, which comprises Marion Head, | Arthur Cohn, Gabriel Braverman and Victor Gottlieb, played a pro- {gram of modern works, and a speaker from New York brought | the greetings of the Pierre De Gey- ter Club of that city which is now | entering its fourth year of activity. The whole affair, from the eight | page program notes, throughout | | the excellent performance, to the enthusiastic audience, reflects the greatest credit upon the devotion and energy of the membership. Philadelphia has figured in the | news lately in connection with the “resignation” of Leopold Stokowski from the conductorship of the |Philadelphia Orchestra. A brilliant | but erratic prima donna, spoiled |child and tyrant, this man leads |rehearsals seated upon a_ child's | hobby-horse. (We are reliably in- |formed that this is not merelv a | newspaper story.) It is known that |he received in one year $240,000 | salary. It is also known that some |members of the orchestra who ask- |ed for a $5 a week raise were de-| |nied it. Of the quarrels with the| | Bok family (which owns the Sat- jurday Evening Post), and other |local millionaires we cannot pre- | tend a detailed understanding. That | }some of the directors want to run | | the orchestra as their own private band is well-known. An opposition | has forced a fifty-fifty compromise | with the truant Stokowski, who has | iust hastened back from California | (Feb. 4) to patch things up for) next season. | * . | | PLOSELY related to this matte: U is the public interest and con- |cern with another “private” musica! |party—the Curtis Institute, a con- servatory of music, also an affair lof honor with the Bok family. | These Augean stables of corruption |in our musical life must be cleaned | part in this necessary but unpleas- ant task. Stokowski’s plan for the development of the orchestra is certainiy far ahead of anything | proposed for any other large or- sanization of its kind. The Insti- | tute cannot and should not be re- garded as unconcerned in it. It |emphasizes the role of music as a | social function rather than as a| mere tov of financial buccaneers |and talented exhibitionists. But it is only a plan. It can serve as easily as any Section 7A to merely cloak and even facilitate the dep- redations of the buccaneers and exhibitionists. Upon this point we |may justifiably look to such an or- ganization as the Pierre De Gevter | Music Club to keep a watchful eye | | with a view to strengthening the forces against reaction. The club must prepare for its task by building un a strong or- ganization—one that will not toler- ate factionalism, opportunism and introspection. It will do this better by actual musical work than by an excess of talking about work. It must strive for a continued high level of performance not only of standard repertoire but especially of contemporary music. It must give workers’ organizations what they want, but also something of what they need (but do not know they need) in order to cope with the stupendous cultural problems now facing the working class of America. This means leadership. The up-turn is here for the musi- cian. Not if he sits in his tower, whether it be of imitation ivory or just plain bone; but rather if he becomes active in rank and file or- ganization of musicians, backs gov- ernmental subsidization of music, unemployment insurance for all workers, realizing that he is one of them, and his problems, their problems.

The | nineteen panels, along with mottoes | jand an oil painting of Lenin, which | are arranged above the well-stocked book shelves, contain a graphic rec- ord of the onward march of the) class-conscious working class van- guard. The exhibit, prepared by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute of Moscow, is to be on view until Feb. 15, under the auspices of the Work- ers School and the Workers Book- shop. There are photographs of Marx and Engels at various stages of their careers; pictures of Bakunin and La Salle, with both of whom Marx carried on titanic polemics; pic- tures of Trelegata and the poet Wilhelm Wolff, members of the Communist League which preceded the formation of the First Interna- | tional; pictures of Marx's Jenny von Westphalen, wife. and of | Marx’s daughters, Laura La Fargue, | Jenny Longuet, Eleanor Aveling; of William Liebknecht. father of Karl Liebknecht. and of Paul La Fargue. author of The Right to Be Lazy; of | Kugelmann, to whom were written the recently published Letters to Kugelmann; and pictures of Lenin, Stalin, and other heroes of the October Revolution. An early political cartoon en- titled “Le Spectre Rouge de 1852” is reproduced: the onlooker will, of course, recall that Marx and Engels | had already in 1848 said. “A Snectre Is Haunting Europe—the Spectre of Communism.” Illustrations of early editions of Capital, showing evictions, factories, street strug- gles, surely cannot fail to add Piquancy to political economy in the imaginations of all students, Sars. Der SPECIALLY intriguing to the book-lover are the reproductions of hand-written manuscrint pages of some of Marx's articles, of the masthead and most of the first page of an 1842 issue of the Rheinische Zeitung, in which some of Marx's early writings appeared, and of the New York Tribune for Wednesday, July 19, 1854 (Price “Two Cents”), the American periodical ‘to which The title page is reproduced of the first edition of Die Heilige Familie, writ- é | jten by Marx and Engels in 1845, jand also the title page of the | “Rules of the International Work- |ingmen’s Association,” as adopted September 28, 1864. The panels are arranged in his- | torical sequence. The first panel | shows Marxist activities and events | before the revolution of 1848. Later panels show the period after the defeat of the workers in 1848, the ! period of the founding of the First International, the relation of Marx |to the Paris Commune, and so on. Some of the panels present mat- ters of contemporary history—the ; October Revolution and its achieve- ; ments, in pictures. A panel entitled |“The National Question under the | Proletarian Dictatorship” gives | quotation from Marx’s speech of | November 29, 1847, on the Polish question: “The victory of the prole- | tariat over the bourgeoisie is there- | fore, at the same time, a signal for ory THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY. yo carpang TR AMG NOS wd DELIV ERD waqege ony = mmations beting te abr, Tea sen = a ar So Spend Sgt eed eee ae BAA et er pf vin os ad out and the sooner the better.

One could almost | say that a full revolutionary educa- | tion is compressed in them. In the {panel dealing with “The Class | Struggle in the Transition Period,” we find, quoted from Marx’s letter | to Wedemeyer, March 5, 1882: “The | |class struggle necessarily leads to | the dictatorship of the proletariat. | |The dictatorship itself is only a | transition to the abolition of classes and to a classless society.” Knowledge of our revolutionary heritage is a weavon.

The Heinwehr liars got some spy to smuggle across the frontiers a picture of two drunk- ards lying in a Charkov street and ran it, “Russians Dying of Hun- ger.” Franz's eyes twinkle for a second, then the line of his jaw whitens.

Published by the John Reed Club of New York, | 430 Sixth Avenue, New York. 25 cents a copy; $1.25 a year. Reviewed by BERNARD SMITH TESS than a year passed since the Partisan Review was founded, | yet today it is the foremost journal of creative literature in the Ameri- can revolutionary movement. I doubt that many of us realize how thoroughly mature it is. As the New Masses necessarily tends more and more to concentrate on imme- diate practical issues, the Partisan Review becomes increasingly valu- able as a source of proletarian lit- erature and Marxist criticism, Al- ready it has discovered and de- veloped several new and original talents..as well as provided a forum for older writers. The current issue is evidence enough. In poetry: the two short contributions by Kenneth Fearing and the longer ones by Alfred Hayes and Muriel Rukeyser are works of a very high order. Fear- ing’s “Lullaby” is particularly in-| teresting because it is a nerfect an- swer to the charge that although | left-wing poets can create moods | and images of struggle and conflict | and of physical movement, they are incapable of creating “beauty.” Yet Fearing has succeeded in creating “beauty” out of exactly the kind of material by which revolutionary artists are attracted. In the field of the short story: James T. Farrell's “Benefits of American Life,” Nelson Algren's “A Place to Lie Down,” and Arkady Leokum’s “The Scab” would honor any magazine in the country. Far- rell’s deftness in character portrayal and the incisiveness of his irony were never better displayed than in this sketch of the Americanization of a Greek boy. (He became a Yankee and a “success” and retired to a sanatorium for consumptives.) Al- gren’s picture of a Negro and a white bum in the South is so vivid that it is almost painful to read it. Leokum’s piece is not quite so mature, but I mention it because it is the work of a young new- comer who has a keen understand- ing of proletarian class-consciot ness. He should be watched and en- couraged, In criticism: Edwin B. Burgum’s teview of Josenhine Herbst’s new novel, Philio Rahv’s review of Wil- liam Saroyan’s book, and William Pillin's review of Norman Macleod’s poetry are fine exambles of the Marxian analysis and appreciation of literature. Burgum, as always, is penetrating and writes admirab- ly. Rahy is to be commended for his careful study of what is substance and what is air in the fiving young Saroyan, and for his warning to Saroyan of the dangers that lie ahead of the declared “escapist” intellectual. Also of interest in this issue is Nathan Adler’s revort of his ex- perience with the detectives of Scotland Yard when he arrived in | London during the week of the |royal wedding. He was refused en- try and had to return to New York. The bare facts, damning as they are. don’t convey half so well as Adler's report does just how close | England is to fascism. * ep * |"THE leading contribution to this issue of the Partisan Review is, |however. Samuel Putnam's trans- |lation of Andre Malraux's essay on Literature in Two Worlds’—the Soviet and the bourgeois Euronean. T cannot urge you too strongly to read this superb essay at once. You will learn from it how a true artist can look at the problems of hu- manity in relation to the problems jof art. And at the same time you will learn why it is that Soviet lit- \erature is flowering while the lit- jerature of the bourgeoisie decay: It should be noted that in this issue there are certain tendencies apparent that are decidedly unfor- jtunate. Most striking is the dis- | position to intellectualism on the part of some writers. I am moved to this remark esnecially by Wal- lace Phelp's essay on “Form and Content.” Phelos is an abl> and serious critic who is courageously |tackling the major questions of jaesthetics and attempting to filter out of them the fundamental Marx- ist definitions. But he has intel- lectualized the subject to the point where it is incomprehensible. He is too subtle; he has refined his distinctions too much. It is all un- necessary, toc, for he is dealing with things that can and should be | made clear. | The story by Ben Field, called |“The New Housekeever,” also sufe fers from intellectualism. An im- mensely talented short story writer, he is nevertheless refining and con- densing his material excessively. He is so anxious not to say too much, that he says too little. The art of suggestion can be overworked. I want to close by saying that these few instances of deficiency do not detract from the issue as a | whole. Perhaps they are even bene- ficial, for they should lead to dis- jcussion. Argument, debate, self- criticism—these bring clearer understanding of error and fault ; and point the way to growth and improvement, | page. | Questions and Answers This department appears daily on the feature All questions showid be addressed to “Ques- Worker, 50 East tions and Answers,” c/o Daily 13th Street, New York City.

Meaning of “Bolshevik” Party Question: What are the differences between the Communist Pa the Bolshevik Party of Rus- sia?—E. W., California. Answer: There are no differences; they are the names of the same party. The full name of the Party in the Soviet Union is the All-Union Come munist Party (Bolshevik). The name Bolshevik comes trom the Russian i for the majority of the ported Lenin fight to form a genuine rev mary party, and it is from this that the Bol. iks took their name. In time it came to designate the revolution- ary wing of the working class movement in Russia —as opposed to the opportunists and reformusts. an Soci In 1917, on Lenin's advice, the Bolsheviks changed their name from Social Democrat to Come munist. This was to distinguish them from the Social Democratic leaders vy war and the imperialist pr ams of the capitalists. In choosing a new name for their Party, the title of Communist was chosen, because that was what Marx and Engels had called themselvse when they issued the famous “Manifesto of the Communist Party,” the Communist Manifesto. ho had supported the The new name signified the organic connection between the Bolsheviks and the revolutionary views of Marx and Engels. The party was thus called the Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik). To become a real Bolshevik party is the aim of every party in the Communist International. It means being a revolutionary party that is the vanguard of the revloutionary working class, and which will lead the workers to victorious struggle against their enemies—the capitalist Workers’ School and the Unemployed Question: Are there any provisions made for unemployed workers to study at the Workers School? —UNEMPLOYED PAINTER. Answer: The administration of the Workers School sends in the following reply: Special arrangements are made for unemployed workers to take courses in the Workers School. Be- fore the beginning of each term the school sends out scholarship blanks to all workers’ organizations, including those of the unemployed, which enable them to send their members to classes at greatly reduced rates. Secondly, the school has arranged special courses for unemployed workers, and gives out many free scholarships to workers recom- mended by the Unemployment Councils, It is necessary, however, that these provisions for scholarships be applied in an organized manner. The school cannot register all persons who claim they are unemployed. They must have proper credentials from their organizations, which show that they need and are worthy of a scholarship. It must be understood that the school exists on the basis of the small fees that it charges the students. Without these small payments it could not continue its work. Therefore, workers’ organi- zations are asked to pay the fees of the members whmo they send to classes. The arrangements for unemployed workers have been detailed above; but. they must be applied in organized fashion to avoid confusion, 1 TUNING IN | The second international program of the season from Moscow, U.S.S.R., featuring soloists and the orchestra of the All-Union Radio Committee under the direction of Nikolai Anosoy, will be broadcast over the WABC-Columbia network on Friday, February 8, from 9:00 to 9:30 a. m.
