By MICHAEL GOLD NE of these days, somebody is going to write a truthful book on William Ran- dolph Hearst. It will make the old drool- ing monkey shut up for the rest of his few years of life. There must be millions of Americans who have repeated some of the facts of his private life. It is a juicy story. America reads the Hearst papers, it is true, but few Americans have much use for Dirty Willie. The sex filth and scandal by which he has made his fortune has clung to him like a bad smell. Willie has had many political ambitions in his worthless ‘life. Once he ran for the office of Mayor of New York; another time for Congress. He also had the Presidential bee in his bonnet. But the American people, though they have been betrayed into “elect- ing” every kind of demagogue and grafter to office, have never elected Willie to even the office of dog- catcher. The stink was too awful. And now this man, with his long record of sSex- mongering, war provocation, faked news, sensation- alism, yellow dirty journalism, business racketeering, political treachery, exploifation of labor, personal luxury of the most vulgar variety, and skirt-chasing, is trying to tell us he is our leading patriot. Yes, this unspeakable Hearst, this vast dirty joke of gutter journalism and gutter riches, this slum- intellectual, this degenerate son of a millionaire, this heartless playboy who has trifled with the lives and liberty of the American people— This deformed monster born of the diseased loins of a corrupt system is trying to teach the decent people of America the meaning of patriotism. It is to laugh or weep. Is this the best that America can do? Is this moral leper the voice of America? Of course, not; any more.than Nero was the voice of Rome, America is finer, better, and grander than William Hearst. America is contained in the hearts and minds of millions of unknown miners, engineers, sailors, farmers and housewives, who have not yet been heard from. When they learn at last to speak and act, William Randolph Hearst and his like will join the Russian Czar, who was as much the voice of the Russian masses as our own yellow Hearst. Let not the accidents of time fool us. Let us not mistake these temporary puppets for the nation. ‘They will vanish, leaving their names only as mem- ories of the animal origin of mankind, the jungle nightmare in which man once lived before his brain was formed. . For You But not for Me T one time Hearst began a hypocritical patriotic campaign, “Buy American!” It is amusing to recall that in the midst of his shrill clamor for autarchy he himself was importing his newsprint paper from Canada, and importing Italian workers and materials at enormous expense to build himself a regal Roman swimming pool. His slogans are meant to fool the workers; his patriotism is not meant for himself. * When Thieves Fall Out URING the first world war, Hearst was originally pro-Kaiser. He used the mask of a snivelling, hypocritical pacifism to cover his sympathies for the Kaiser, who was his personal friend. His economic interests were also involved in Germany. But when J. P. Morgan and Ambassador Page and 2 host of bankers and businessmen tied up with the allies made Woodrow Wilson see the light, and the George Creels inflamed with lies and atrocity stories the mind of the American masses, fooling some, and blackjackink the rest, Dirty Willie made a quick and nasty flop. He became a super-patriot overnight, and the most rabid German-baiter and lyncher of them all. His newspapers were peppered with hundreds of American flags. His hired brain prostitutes, includ- ing the oily Brisbane, turned out rafts of hate-edi- torials, shrieking for the blood of Germans. What a disgusting exhibition of bald-faced hypoc- risy! It was at this time that the New York Herald- Tribune, probably for competitive business reasons, printed a series of exposures of Dirty Hearst's rec- ord, entitled, “C-c-coiled in the Flag Hearst.” He was cartooned as a venomous rattlesnake, coiled in the American flag to hide his face, and spitting poison and betrayal on the American people. When capitalist thieves fall out, they often tell the truth about each other. . Save America from Hearst tT rotary with interests in Cuba, egged on the American people to hatred of Spain, and an im- Perialist war to seize Cuba. He was accused of in- spiring the assassination of President McKinley, because McKinley was slow about declaring war. * Hearst’s papers in the South approve of the lynch- ing of Negroes. On the West Coast they have led the lynchers against innocent Japanese farmers and workers. Today he is leading his foul pack of bought brains and dollar patriots against the Soviet Union and the American radical workers and farmers. Where- ever there is hate, wherever there is a war on the people, this degenerate millionaire is in the fore- front. And he is the patriot, he says, and he is saving America. But it is our America, and we promise him we will yet save this beautiful land from such despoilers as William R. Hearst. MILITARISM AND FASCISM IN JAPAN By O. Tanin and E.

Workers’ Library Publishers. Ten cents, . * Reviewed by J. L. R fifteen days the Red Flag flew over the Province of As- turias in Spain. In the ordinary run of life fifteen days are hardly noticeable. But in this short period the foundation of a new society was laid last October. In these two | weeks while bitter fighting raged | throughout the land of Catholic | paratus was set up, a Red Army |created, industries taken into the hands of the workers, land divided |up among the peasantry, and the | people of Spain and the rest of the world shown once more “Why Com- munism,” To a revolutionary worker any publication dealing with a revolu- tion that has been made is exciting, | but “Soviets in Spain,” written in jan easy-going, flowing style, is lespecially welcome. It shows the | miserable conditions of the Span- jish worker and peasant still in a | semi-feudal state in spite of the |land laws of the Republic; it pro- ceeds to the general strike and armed uprising, taking up the causes for the defeat and ending with the victory-breathing procla- | mation of the Party that more than ever shows the way—the Spanish section of the Communist Interna- tional. In 1931 the Spanish monarchy fell under the advancing revolu- tionary tide. As in Austria and Germany in 1918 the Socialist | Party announced the arrival of the |new society. Without blooshed, the Socialists declared, the land would be given to the peasantry, the powerofthechurch broken, indus- try harnessed to the will of the people. The Socialist Party took over the major responsibility for the government. Although the workers gained a bit through the laws introduced by the bourgeois Republic after Alfonso was forced to flee, Comrade Gannes has marshalled a few figures which strikingly reveal the conditions that forced the people of Spain onto ever higher struggles up to the jarmed uprising. The strike figures | issued by the government, although |greatly underestimating the actual |number, admit that 869,000 work- jers struck in 1931; the 1933 rec- ords state that 1,032,000 workers |went on strike, and in the first | | quarter of 1934 more than 1,900,000 workers resorted to strike action | mainly on political issues. Similar figures are given to show the senti- ments of the peasants. There are 3,000,000 landless agri- cultural workers who earn from 50 | to 75 cents a day. Two per cent | of the Spanish landowners own 67 | per cent of the land. The land! laws, so widely heralded in the So- cialist and capitalist press as hav- ing solved the agrarian problem, were farcical; only 10,000 peasants profited even in the slightest de- gree. The Province of Catalonia still was denied self-determination. These were the conditions that drove the Spanish workers and peasants to “storm the heavens.” That they did not succeed this time is not due to their lack of bravery. Comrade Gannes quotes from the capitalist press to prove once again that the rising proletariat fighting as a class is made of the best. Pier sar its struggle reached its peak in Asturias. In other parts of Spain sporadic fighting went on. The revolutionary power of Asturias appealed to the rest of Spain. The appeals are reprinted in “Soviets in Spain.” But a number of fac- tors prevented the whole country going Red. Asturias fell after a bitter struggle. The causes of this defeat of the Spanish revolution were: The revo- lution was not organized. The So- cialist Party, the largest of the workers’ organizations, took up the fight only as a defensive measure, at the last moment. The peasants, a very large factor, were not drawn into revolutionary struggles. The army, made up mainly of peasants, was therefore left to the enemy. Several other important factors are brought out, the most important being the counter-revolutionary role of the anarchist leaders. They con- trolled a million workers and suc- ceeded in keeping the majority of these from joining the general strike. The anarchists denounced the uprising and were the best sup- port of the bourgeoisie. Today the Spanish fascists, led by the Catholic Gil Robles, are en- tor. They are afraid of the shadow of Asturias. In the battle the united front of the Workers’ Alli- ance was put on a firm foundation, The workers and peasants learned valuable lessons. The first battle was lost. In losing it the Spanish proletariat lost its illusions about the Republic, about peaceful development, about an- archist leadership. It gained tre- mendous confidence in the Commu- nist Party. In a word, it gained the pre-requisites for inevitable vietory.

Here a film, interesting as it is, that subtly confirms what the Nazis are always saying about the Jews being the) real powers behind the throne. Joseph Susa, whatever the inten- tions of the preducers or the authors were in creating him, is a character- ization of an over-ambitious power- mad Jewish financier that cannot | help but provide fuel for the rage of the Black and White shirt bri- gades against the Jews they hold responsible for wars and crises. Suss, very cleverly played by Con- rad Veidt, is puffed up as an heroic example of the brotherhood-of-the- ghetto type of Jew, when he is noth- ing, as the picture reveals through- out, but the worst kind of enemy of the Jews. A staunch pillar of | shaky empires, Suss is convinced early in the film that he can best |serve his race, can best show the world that the Jew can rise above |the ghetto, by maneuvering himself |into increasingly higher positions of | power, from where, at the tip top, | it will be simple to lead his people towards the pyomised milk and |honey. And it is through Suss’s leyes, glaringly trained on position and power, and away from the needs of the people which to him are spiritual, not material necessities, | that we are asked to study mid- eighteenth centry ghetto life in Germany. | Naturally the picture produced is | |the typical cinema version of Jews with unkempt beards, waving hands, heavily accented speech and a | money-grabbing menace to the gen- | | tiles. Only Suss is free from these | \defects because later on he has to find out that he is a Christian, not | a Jew.

Harassed by their own needs, the neighbors forgot about him for sev- eral days. Finally the old man, too proud to beg for food, crept upstairs to the flat of another worker to ask for matches for his stove. The latter noticed his emaciated state and summoned an ambulance. In the hospital it was said that he was seriously undernourished, The city authorities have promised to place Alex- ander Rudolph in a municipal home—if he recovers. CHICAGO, Ill.—Frederick Dinkelberg, just another poverty-stricken old man to his neighbors, died here several days ago in a dingy tenement flat. It was a characteristic capitalist tribute to one of the world’s famous architects. Dinkelberg was the architect of America’s first skyscraper. New York's famous Flatiron Building, which he designed, still stands in its grandeur at Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street, in the heart of New York City. The aged architect—he was 74—had been on the relief rolls of Chicago for several months before his death. Completely destitute, his wife informed the police she had no money to pay for his funeral, The ill-ventilated and squalid flat in which Dinkele berg died was an ironic contrast to the sunlit and soaring buildings which his architectural genius created.
