DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1935 Page 9 ET us recall what happened in Portland, Oregon, during the recent marine strike. The longshoremen had gone out, and the bosses feared that all the water- front unions would join them, in support of the general strike in San Francisco. So one day, on the waterfront, there took place oné of those little massacres that are becoming more frequent in America. Each seems like an ac- cident, and the bourgeois papers call them “riots,” and forget all about them a day after they have happened. But when one casts & total of all of these massacres, they assume the proportions of a national movement. Over sixty strikers were killed last year; there must have been hundreds of assaults on labor; it was like a War, a war for fascism in America. In Portland that day the cops, led in person by the Chief, drew up in a flat car alongside a picket line on the waterfront. Guns batked; the brave cops had fired into the ranks of the defense- less pickets. Four of them fell; and there followed & Wave of protest from all the labor unions. Tt looked like @ general strike in Portland as the result of this little massacre. But the New Dealers were ready; General Johnson gave the signal, and then raids and terror began. Union headquarters were raided by a gang of hoodlums masquerading as “patrivtic” longshoremen. They were followed by the cops, who arrested the wounded victis of the raid. At the Workers’ Bookshop 33 people were arrested. Then followed raids on unemployed centrés through the city, and on the homes of workers. The Chamber of Com- | merce was having a grand time at their lynching | party. : ' The men of commerce and profiteering had or- | ganized their own fascist army, of course. It was | called by the euphonious title of the “Citizen's | Emergency League,” as if longshoremen, sailors and | workers ate not citizens faced with an emergency, | and as if the Ametican flag belonged to the profit- | eers, and not to the people who work. | This gang of phoney citizens, many of them | petty gangsters and racketeers, of course (the dregs | | | | | if i} | Le By MICHAEL GOLD | | } | | of the slums always is recruited first in these fas- cist Storm Troons the world over) was led by a “Coicnel” William Aird, reserve army officer and payroll patriot. The Chamber of Commerce gave him directives and cash for his dirty work. Every day his yoice boomed over the radio, calling for violence against the strikers. A call for Violence, an open conspiracy to or- ganize violence against the workers. And the city and state government, the bourgeois democracy under ich -we live, lifted not a finger to arrest these criminals. . Indeed, it encouraged them. * * * Who Commits Violence? } JT IS IN events such as this one that we can see illustrated the process by which bourgeois democ- racy evolves into fascism. How often have the | libetals and capitalist-minged among Socialist lead- ers advaheed the Hearstian theory that it is Com- ism and the threat of working class violence thet brings on fascism. { But study such a tyvical situation as that in | Portland, repeated in San Francisco, Hillsboro, | Wlinois, and dozens of other places. It is the capitalists who commit all the violence, who openly arm theit thugs for naked War, who use the radio and newspapers to preach violence, who establish the complete atmosphere of fascism, under the pro- tection of the democratic capitalist state. Dees anyone believe the Communist Party ac- tually ran the Portland or San Francisco strikes? It would be a fine thing if this had been true, showing that the American workers were at last learning to be true to their own class interests. But, unfortunately, it was not true. These hap- pened to be strikes led by the orthodox unions. The cry of Communism was only a red herring i across the. trail, put there by the fascist-like Chamber of Commerce. Te Portland, their armed Storm Troops raided | a Communist meeting. Eight uniformed and armed | cops accompanied them. Some two hundred men, | women and children had gathered peacefully to | protest against the raids and shooting of striking workers. The thugs broke in and indulged in the ‘usual bloody orgy. Then they arrested a group of workers, ahd had them tried for “criminal syn- dicalism,” charged them with advocating the over- throw “of the government by force and violence.” | Under the Wings of the Blue Eagle HIS is the batkground of the trials of Dirk De { Jonge, Edward Denny and the other workérs in | Portland. But it is not only Commuhists and or- ganizers of the unemployed who are being per- | secuted and framed up. 1 Twenty-eight members of the longshoreman’s union, which is affiliated to the A. F. of L., were | also arrested and charged with murder. A company | union scab had been killed during a fight between | these rats and the members of the réal union. In- vestigation showed that Karl Grammer, a scab, hed actually fired the shot. Public opinion forced the District Attomey to arrest him, and he con- fessed to the ¢fime, But he was released, and the charge against the union men was chanzec to rioting! \ So it goes, the march of fascism in this country. | Capitalist violencé grows, under the warm wings | of the Blue Eagle. Unless we fight criminal syn- | dicalist ‘laws, and form a united front to defend | | workers like Dirk De Jonge, and the other Pott- land cases; the Sacramento cases; evety other case where fascism is working in a legal mask. This is where our battle lies today. Just Out HUNGER REVOLT: Cartoons by BURCK This beautiful, DeLuxe edition is limited to 100 numbered and signed copies.

He is a refugee from Nazi Germany since January, 1933 and has just completed a very successful tour of the main Euro- pean cities including Paris, London, Brussels, Moscow, Leningrad, Am- sterdam and Copenhagen. Tre tour of Hanns Wislér in the United Statés will be in the inter- ests of the victitNs of Hitler Fas- cism and the orphaned children of these victims, for whom children’s homes are being established in sev- eral European cities. All compositions of his have been banned by the Hitler regime. His songs were sung by literally millions of Germans before Hitler came to power. To sing them now would mean imprisonment and torture in German concentration camps. Hanns Eisler was born in Leip- zig, Germany, 1898. He was edu- cated ‘in Austria. After the War he became one of thé closest friends of Arnold Schoenberg, the famous Austrian composer. Eislér first be- came known in musical cirtlés as the result of his compositions for the piano (op. 1 and 3), song (op. 2), and chamber music (op. 5, 7 and 9). In 1926 he took permanent res- idence in Berlin, where he became active in workers’ musical miovye- ments. Beginning with Opus 10, he produced compositions for choruses on political themes. In 1924, he was awarded the State prize for music. His compositions inelwde the music for the films “Kuhié Wampe” and “Hell on Earth,” the oratorio “Die Massnahme,” the cantata “Tempo dér Zeit.” In the labor movement his songs aie well known and are being sung by workers and their choruses in many countries. He has composed numerous songs on labor themes, some of which are “On Guard”; “Roter Wedding”; “Sing, Street”; “Peasants’ Revolt”; “Song of W.LR.”; “Song of the Coal Miners”; “Strike”; “Secret At- tack Against USSR.”; “Comin- tern”; “Song 6f the Unemployed”; “Ballad of War Invalids”; “Ballad of the Cotton Pickers.” Labor Party Question Discussed in February Issue of The Communist The February issue of The Com- munist, whith is now on sale, con- tains the Resolution adopted by the January meéting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. The Resolution outlines briefiy the situation facing us at the present time in three branches of activity, (1) trade union Work, (2) the strug- gle for the united front, and (3) the question of a Labor Party. Our tasks which flow out of this situa- tion are sharply set forth. As additional guiding material, and for use in discussions of the Resolution, there is the article by Earl Browder, “New Developments and New Tasks in the U. S. A.” Also printed in this issue is Com- rade Browder’s brilliant speech at the National Congress for Social @nd Unemployihent Insuranc> at the beginning of the year. The February issue of The Com- munist is distinguished by a chap- ter from a forthcoming book by Alex Bittelman. This chapter, en- titled “The Socialist Revolution in the United States,” deals with the “arguments” of social-reformists against the validity of the Marxist- Leninist theory of the proletarian revolution, and takes up the con- crete application of this theory in our country. Other articles in the issue are: “Lenin on Unemployment Insur- ance”; “The United Front in the Field of Negro Work” by James W. Ford; “Unity of the ming Masses—A Paramount Issue” . by cohn Barnett; “Aspects of the De- pression of the Special Type in the U.S. A.” by Labor Research Asso- ciation; and a frontispiece drawing of Valerian Kuibyshev, deceased member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

This is not} accidental. Douglas’ whole life is a flaming refutation of the servi program of Negro réformism against | militant struggle and for abject submission to the white ruling class oppressors. Frederick Douglas was born in Slavery on Feb. 12, 1871, in Tucka- oe on the Eastern Shore of Mt land, a district notorious even todé for its bestial Oppression and hideous lynch murders of Negroes. Douglas escaped to the North, after | His experience with the slave system taught him that “men are Whipped oftenest who are whipped easi¢st.” In his autobiography, he relates how those slaves who defended them- selves would be brutally beaten tor the time, but would never again be whipped: “Experience proves that those are most abused who can be abused with the greatest impunity. Men are whipped oftenest who are whipped easiest.” Fiercely Non-Compromising Douglas waged relentless wattle against “the hell-black crime of slavery.” Fiercély he denounced Lincoln’s attempt to effect a com- promise with the slave-holders at} development of armed struggles by | Of the action.

That campaign envisages an intensifica- tion on Lincoln-Douglas Day, Feb. 12, of the whole struggle against jim-czow oppression and lynch- ing, self-determination for the| “Black Belt” with full equality for Negroes throughout the country; freedom for the Scottsboro boys and Angelo He:ndon, and passage of tne Bill of Civil Rights and For Sup- pression of Lynching, drawn up by the L. 8.

Brilliant Shostakovich Opera Triumph for Soviet Music GREETED WYTH OVERWHELMING 0) ATION RY CAPACITY HOUSE | By SERGEI RADAMSKY 'HE production of Lady Macbeth of Mzénsk, by Dimitri Shostako- vieh, at the Metropolitan Opera House on February 5 by the Cleve- land Symphony Oxchestra Was a triumph for the composér and So- The large opera, house was filled to capacity as it hasbeen few times during the current season. The enthusiasm with which the opera was received, the outbursts of laughtér at the satirical situations and the spell- bound attention at the dramatic moments, the vociferous applause after the two musical interludes in the first and third atts, was a triumph which gladdened the hearis of all those who love superb thea- tre and music. Dimitri Shostakovich, though only twenty-nine years old, is considered by the ¢@htire music world to be outstanding among young com- posers today. His first symphony, composed at the age of cighteen, has been enthusiastically praised by the great musicians and conductérs of the world including Arturo Tos- cannini and Léopold Stckowski, Who have performed it repeatedly, always making a deep impression on the listeners. Shostakovich has aiso composed a second and a third symphony, a sonata and concerto for piano, two balléts, several Scores for the ci- nema, incidental music for the pro- duction of Shakespeare's Hamlet as produced by the Vachtangov Thea- tré of Moscow, an opera on the novel “Nose” by the Russian classic Gogol, ad his latest opera “Lady Macbeth of Mzensk,” from the beok Of the same name by Nicolai Lesskov. The composér intends to write a trilogy. His first, whieh Ke calls “Lady Macbeth,” deals with the fate ow women in the fortiés of tne last centuty; the second Is to be about thé woihah of the bourgeoisie before the revolution; and the third, the new woman of the Soviet Union. aa Saee, | ge this purposé he ¢hose for his first subject the novel “Lady Macbeth of Mzensk,” by Nicolai Lesskov, in which the heroine, Katerina, 4 young woman of the poor peasant class, married io the inkipid son of the ri¢h ahd cruel landowner, surrounded by an atmosphere of ignorance, filth, cor rupt government and derk mechina- tions of the priests, (els Aer life stifled and unbearable, The young clerk, Sergei, infected with the evils and greed of the community, forces his love upon her and finally captures her affections, bringing forth a situation by which Katerirfa is prompted to kill her father-in-law, het husband, and, when the crime is discovered, both are sent to Siberia With many other prisoners.

Lady Macbeth is a music drama with a Marxian approach by one young composér of the world today, but who has the rare talent and power to analyze the psychology of Bis characters, as well as the social background of the epoch that they livéd in. He also has the technique to combine the orchestral music With the detailed action on the Stage and make it understandable to the largé tasses. Witnessing performances of this opera in Leningrad and Moscow one Yealizés that this is the first music drama that struck a responsive chord in the masses of the Soviet Union. The performance had excellent moments. The scenery copitd from the Leningrad production would have been more effective but for the lighting which was not always well handled. Vocally most of the principals were acceptable. The singing of the chorus had stirritg moments, and though the acting of the solo- ists looked very impressive and “ex- otic” on the stage of the M¢tro- politan Opera House, the underlying spirit of the opera, as brought Ke by the performances in Leningra and Moscow, was entirély aha. Tilustrative of this is the scene of the seduction of Katerina by Sergei in the first act which was presented in a manner to please the vul- garians of Broadway. Artur Dodzinsky, the conductor, Ras shown again that he is more than just an Able conductor but he is guilty in Stressing passages in the score depicting the undérlying vileness and vulgarity of séme of the ie eee (evidently fér sensa- tional effect) to an extent far from desired by the composer.

Macmillan. $2.50. Reviewed by GILBERT DOUGLAS AND OF PROMISE is the story of Moses Mendel and his daughter Esther; the tale of a petty-bour- geois Jewish family who seek in Germany a haven from the post- War pogroms Of Pdéland. They live in Gezmany until the installation of Hitler, and then escape to France. The story of the Mendels—the Jew AS scapegoat everywheré—is natur- ally overshadowed by the history of Germany in the past decade (the Tise of Fascism); for in this history lies the story of thousands of Moses Mendels (to say nothing of millions of workers of all faiths.) Given a novel of such scope- both in points of time and intrin- sic importance — ce:tain probléms must be faced by the author at the outset. Three above all. There is the quéstion of how to indicate the passing of time; in othér words, a feeling for movement. There is the question of that selection of inci- dent which Will best illustrate the and the like. Finally. there is the question of interpreting the mate- rial; the ability to give events the logic and inevitability and diréction which, when p.dperly understood, they possess. . . Lania fulfills the first condition very well (and for our purposes we may leave the point here); the secénd partially; the third badly. Lania obviously knows the tragic history of post-war Germany. In memorable pages he sums up the successive betrayals of the workers’ equally vivid pages he tzaces the Spread of anti-semitism, the rebirth of a deadly jingo spirit, thé quick flowering of fascist. ideas amongst the bewildered, declassed petty- bourgeoisie. But 6f the workers’ Movement directly and explicitly there is nothing. If the reader were to rely on Lania’s history, he would certainly be led to believe that the: was no workers’ movement to speak of and that Fascism grew more or less spontanéously; that it was not fds- tered from above as a result of tie pressure from below, but arose as a movement independent of the capitalists and in opposition to them In short, Lania has presented an incomplete picture of the class an- tagonisms giving rise to Fascism. To that extent he has fallen short of histovical truth and Jessenéd the impact his novel might otherwise have made. ie PPOSED to Lania’s unconcealed contempt for Social-Democracy is his open sympathy for the Com- munists, But it is an admiration warped by his lack of understand- ing ‘of the entire revolutionaary movement; and this failure de- termines his final judgment on the workers’ movement. His argument runs something like this: the Com- munists are the only Ones who have shown militancy, who know what they want, who—if anyone can ‘do the job—will lead the Workers to revolution. But the reservation is all-impor- tant. Lania falls into that category of people who sincerely hate reac- tion in all its forms, who ardently desire a decent world to live in... . but who feel that the fight is hope- less. Admiringly—and 4 trifie won- deringly—he speaks of the wérkers’ faith, of their stziving, of their de- sire “to co-ordinate knowledge and action, intellect and reality.” But in the same moment he spenks of these endeavors as “so pitifully childish.” There is nothing to Be done. So Moses Mendel and his daughter Esther flee to France. And the reader remembers: Moses Mendel escaped the pogroms of Poland only to face those of Germany. Is this the answer to the problem of anti- Semitism? Is this the way in which Fascism will be Wiped out of exis- tence? Is this really the best Lania can offer us? Is this all we can look forward to? The growth ef the revolutionary movement in Ger- many, and throughout the world, have already outdistanced Lania; and Will yet give him what he de- sires ‘despite himself, Win a free trip to the Soviet Union, a free vacation in 2 work- ers’ camp, or cash.

The New Deal Question: What in brief arc the main character- istics of the New Deal?—M. P. H., Boston. Afiswer: The New Deal represents the ruthless efforts of American capitalism to organize a gigantie slave machine for the supér-exploitation of the workers in order to reconsolidate its position and ineréase its profits at the expense of the living standards of the working class. The New Deal is driving towards fascism and war in order to hold the workers in industrial slavery under cohditions of super-éxploitation while the capitalists conduct a world dumping cam- paign for markets and prevare for a redivision of the world The essential characteristics of the New Deal are super-trustification, inflation, the increased servitude and exploitation of the workers, and ac- celerated military afd naval preparations to back up by force of arms the world offensive of Amer- ican capitalism for markéts. The New Deal has accentuated the process of consolidation of the big monopolies. The little business men, as the Darrow-Thompson report showed, b in many casés been exterminated by the codes which favor the monopoliés—and Which, in fact, were written by thé monopolists them- selves, Thro throttling of production, price fix- ing, and big loans and stibsidies from the govern- ment, the monopolies have increased their hold upoh the economy of the country. The New Deal has steadily pursued inflationary policies. It has resulted in raising prices, thus in- directly reducing the wages and living standards of the workers. On the basis of the depreciated dollar the American capitalists have started a world- wide camvaign to wipe out their competitors. The New Deal has intensified the exploitation of the workers. Speed-up and the stagger system have reduced the incomes of the workers while bringing huge profits to the bosses. At the same time the New Deal has legalized company unions, introduced compulsory arbitration, and is moving in the direction of the outlawing of strikes and genuine labor unions. At the present moment the drive for fascist unions is being conducted at an accelerated tempo. Finally the New Deal is building the greatest military machine in the world which the capitalists intend to usé for imperialist expansion. For a lucid and comprehensive analysis of the New Deal read the two penny pamphlets by Earl Browder, “What is the New Deal” and “What Every Worker Should Know About N. R.
