# DEDICATED TO THE "PROFESSIONAL PATRIOTS"

Without committing them to its statements, this book is admiringly dedicated to all those sincere fighters for American liberty and Christian principles who, because of their opposition to Red propaganda and the "new social order" of Marx and Lenin, are denounced as "professional patriots", superpatriots", "100 per centers", "patrioteers", and "Tories" by their Red opponents. Particular mention is gratefully made of those "patrioteers" who have aided and encouraged the author in her effort to bring to the sound but still sleeping portion of the American public the truth about the Communist-Socialist world conspiracy which, with its four horsemen, Atheism, Immorality, Class Hatred, and Pacifism-for-the-sake-of-Red-revolution, is boring within our churches, schools and government and is undermining America like a cancerous growth. Among these are:

The national headquarters of the staunch D. A. R. (of which the author, unfortunately, is not a member), which reprinted each article in her former pamphlet "Red Revolution" and sent copies to each chapter in the U. S. A. The D. A. R. members are the best informed body of women in America on

this subject and are correspondingly detested by the Reds.

Senator Clayton R. Lusk, whose gift of the most valuable and complete 4,450-page four-volume Report of the Joint Legislative Committee of the State of New York Investigating Seditious Activities, a report based upon indisputable documentary evidence made by the committee which he headed, has made available the background and information concerning the Red movement up to the year 1920, when it was issued, which is incorporated within this book.

reports.

Miss Margaret Kerr, executive secretary of the "professional patriots" Better America Federation, which placed and has kept the Criminal Syndicalism Law on the statute books of California despite the frantic efforts of the Reds to repeal it—who has sent valuable data.

Mr. Walter Steele, manager of the "100 per centers" National Republic magazine (511 11th St. N. W., Wash., D. C.) and author of its articles on subversive activities which are unsurpassed, who has sent excellent special information. All "patrioteers" need the "National Republic" (price \\$2.00 yearly).

Mr. John B. Chapple, editor of the Ashland (Wis.) Press, author of "La Follette-Socialism," etc., whose courageous exposure in the face of death threats of the Socialist-Communist network in Wisconsin defeated the La Follette dynasty in the 1932 election for the first time in forty years, who sent

Those who have assembled large and distinctive audiences to hear the author's lectures, among them: Paul G. Armstrong, Vice Commander Dept. of Ill., American Legion, and many other valiant Legion Commanders; U. S. Army and Navy Officers Club; the men of the Chicago Military Intelligence; leaders of: the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs; Moody Church and Bible Institute; Women's Patriotic League; Catholic organizations; Fundamentalist and other anti-Bolshevik, anti-Atheist Churches; Clubs; Community

mass meetings; etc., etc.

Col. Sidney Story, lecturer and fiery patriot; W. H. Chesbrough, Wisconsin Commander of the G. A. R.; Maude Howe of the Canadian Christian Crusade (against atheism); Nesta Webster, world famous English historian and author of "Surrender of an Empire", "World Revolution", "French Revolution", etc.; my friends Mr. and Mrs. George Cretors, residents of Soviet Russia while Mr. Cretors was employed there as an engineer; Mr. John E. Waters, also a former engineer for the Soviet Government, whose true story entitled "Red Justice" is available at 50c (P. O. Box 242, Madison, Wis.); Mr. Carveth Wells, famous lecturer and author of "Kapoot", a graphic account of his Russian experiences; Mrs. C. D. Shipley, tireless patriotic worker in Waukegan, Ill., a Red stronghold.

of the schools and colleges which their children attend."

Mr. and Mrs. James H. Watt of Chicago declare: "From a viewpoint gained through our recent residence of fifteen months in an American engineering colony in Soviet Russia, the statements of Mrs. Albert W. Dilling concerning conditions prevalent in that country are found to be absolutely

authentic and of invaluable import."

# MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES

# RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

To one who has seen Russia, unblinded by the propaganda of a few "model" institutions shown to tourists and built by foreign brains and capital, this talk of "revolution" here to better economic conditions strikes terror to the heart. One recalls those great civilizations in history which were laid to waste and were then for centuries unable to rise again.

In the Moscow "Museum of the Revolution", I saw racks and racks of photographs taken during the Russian Revolution and its attendant famine. These pictures of people who starved to death lying in the streets where they fell, cannibalistic views of dead mothers and babies with half-eaten bodies, and revolutionary scenes of stark horror and misery, were revolting past

description.

The Soviet government woman-guide showing us these said she had lost two members of her own family in this famine and had seen worse scenes herself around Odessa. Later I shuddered as I heard her announce: "There is no use to waste time here in the Foreign Department (of the Museum). You people all read newspapers. You know what we are doing in China, Spain, and in your own country—our strikes and all. Our world revolution will start with China and end with the United States." In this Department is a map of the United States re-districted and with our cities renamed as they are expected to be "when the red flag waves over the White House." On this map Cleveland is renamed "Ruthenberg", Detroit is "Lewistown", etc. Since I heard these ominous words of our guide, the December 24, 1931, issue of "Inprecorr" announced that "the Soviet power has already been set up over a sixth part of China"; the Communist "Daily Worker" of April 5, 1932, in an article entitled "The Growth of the Soviet Power in China", gave details of great new Red Army victories in China. No wonder Communists demonstrate in front of Japanese embassies against "imperialist" war on China.

In January 1933, authorities reported seven provinces and at least 80,000,000 Chinese Sovietized, and an inner Chinese Soviet state which had an army of many thousand troops trained by German and Russian officers. Officers, arms and supplies were being sent from the U. S. S. R. by an ancient caravan route through Outer Mongolia, a large territory practically annexed to the U. S. S. R. after a revolution was engineered there in 1921, a point the League of Nations remained strangely silent about. Sovietization is increasing steadily in China.

Siberia is now populated as never before with exiled peasants who have spoken bitterly about, or resisted, the giving up of their pigs, cows, or little homes, or nearly all of their grain, or have offended by upholding religion, and consequently are being punished as "counter revolutionaries" or

"damagers".

Tourists in Moscow may see, near their hotels, during late night and early morning hours, the "wild" or deserted children sleeping in doorways. These are not the same wild hordes of children seen during the revolution sixteen or more years ago, for those would now be grown. These are a new crop, produced not only by low living conditions but also by conditions of low living, fostered by the Communist government destruction of faith in God, religion, and morality. Lenin's wife said in "Pravda" (the official organ of the Communist Party of Russia): "We have seven million deserted children officially registered and eighty thousand who have been gathered into our asylums. How many more are wandering about Russia?" Couples may simply live together or register quickly as married or divorced by payment of a ruble. These can hardly support the children of several successive unions on incomes barely sufficient for their own existence.

While visiting a "model" institution for children at the Tsar's old summer palace at Tsarskoye Selo, we photographed the little tots, naked from the waist up, running around in our party. Some not over six years old had learned enough English to beg "Gimme a cigarette, gimme a cigarette!" In this, and in other respects, our American institutions for six-year-olds are unlike the "model" products of the Russian Revolution. Concerning the Russian conditions, the U. S. Fish report on Communism says: "Documents and books presented to the committee indicate that the most terrible kinds of vice are encouraged among the young school children in order to break down their family influence which is the foundation of all religion." Siemashko, Soviet Commissar of Health, confessed at one time that venereal disease "had reached the proportions of a terrible plague".

All of the churches our guides took us to visit had been converted into anti-religious museums. Life-size manikins are dressed up in church robes and the most revolting interpretations of religious subjects are portrayed by them and by colored cartoons tacked up on large bulletin boards so that the crowds of young workers who are taken through may see and have explained to them by Soviet guides how ridiculous religious faith is. The most exquisite church of all, the Church of the Redeemer in Moscow, was then about to be dynamited to make way for a "Palace of the Soviets". I have movies of nude bathing in the river taken in the heart of Moscow, men and women together, with the Church of the Redeemer in the background. Beautiful St. Isaac's Cathedral in Leningrad, then an anti-religious museum, is now used as an atheist theatre as part of the new five-year plan to close all houses of worship by 1937 and to eradicate even the thought of God from the minds of the people by a militant anti-God campaign.

Our guides took us to the Torgsin stores for foreign tourists, where gold trinkets, paintings, art objects, church robes and ikons, looted from their former owners, are sold by the Soviet government for foreign gold only. But no visitor or proletarian Russian gets inside the Soviet officials' special stores, where the best is sold to the higher-ups at lowest prices. The windows of these stores are whitewashed and a guard with a gun stands out in front. Nor did our guides take us to visit the poor, miserable workers' stores, where long lines wait whenever merchandise is offered at prices the worker can afford to pay. My friends living there did take me, however. Goods on the half-empty shelves were labeled in several stores "For Display Purposes Only". Only counter supplies were for sale. An oil barrel in one had a sign "There is no more", which had been there for eight months, I was told. In one store, buzzing flies fought over three cheeses, priced at eight, ten, and twelve rubles (four, five, and six dollars) per pound. Three fish displayed were priced at \\$3.75 per pound. A thin, fly-specked box of candy was priced at \\$5.00, small individual pieces priced about twenty cents each, although a Woolworth buyer in New York was offered all the Soviet candy he could use at a penny a pound delivered. Incidentally, he patriotically bought American candy at five cents a pound instead.

The products of Russian workers are dumped abroad to break the markets of capitalistic countries, to pay for some machinery which is rusted and unfit for use in a short time, and to pay for propagandizing Communist revolution

I saw scaffoldings on numerous buildings, but while there saw no one

Two of the three busses we rode in in Leningrad broke down. The streets and roads were very much torn up and rutted, and the government cars rented to our party were trembling and unsure. On one trip, a wheel came off of one, and an axle broke on another. However, one day we had the use of some very good Packards and Buicks. These were the private cars of minor Soviet officials, loaned to us. I was told there were over seventy Rolls-Royces then in use in Moscow as the private cars of Soviet officials. Of course, the poor bundle-laden proletarian who walks or hangs out of an overcrowded street car is told that these cars are not the officials' "private" cars but are only for their "private use". The Socialist slogan is "Production for use, not for profit." (Whose use, whose profit?) Outside the towns, people poured out of old, dilapidated houses to see us go by. Auto traffic is a novelty.

The incessant propaganda about Communism and about what Russia is going to do is the only lively feature about Russia. So many of the widely-publicized and supposedly photographed projects are merely on paper. Dinginess, bad smells, and a sense of fear pervades everything. The last manager of the Grand Hotel in Moscow with his wife and children had been awakened at three o'clock in the morning by the G. P. U. (secret police) and had not since been heard of. They have a saying "Only the G. P. U. works fast in Russia." My friends showed me their letters, which plainly had been opened and glued together again before reaching them. All dispatches by foreign newspaper correspondents are censored before entering or leaving Russia. Our ship was not allowed to use its radio while within Russian waters.

Russian workers pay out about 30% of their earnings in taxes, such as the "culture tax" (for the privilege of reading newspapers and hearing propaganda at Workers' Clubs), a "housing tax" (to build houses for others), a "cooperative store tax" (for the privilege of buying at government stores), and an income tax. Besides, all workers must occasionally "voluntarily" give their whole month's wages to the government as a loan. Russians are forbidden to possess foreign money. Guards, barbed wire, spies, and heavy penalties inflicted on relatives left behind deter Russians from leaving Russia.

The bedbugs in the Grand Hotel were wild about me, the listless waiters not interested at all. Some beautiful marble statues, large Sevres vases, fly-specked crystal chandeliers, and massive old furniture remained, contrasting sharply with bare floors and cheap new iron beds. The hotel elevator ran once in a while, when not out of order. The dingy-windowed empty stores which line the streets (for only here and there a government store is operating) give a dismal appearance to the large cities. The few outcast private peddlers who remained when I was there were ragged and wretched looking individuals and were soon to be strictly dealt with and banned.

The hotel food was the best Russia provides for its tourists who pay precious foreign money and was infinitely better than the Russians get, but it had a kinship with the smelliness of everything connected with it and affected the digestion peculiarly—due it was said to benzoate of soda preservatives used.

Ragged proletarians loaded with bundles fill the railroad stations. The mattress and pillow tickings of the special first-class sleepers we rode on were revoltingly dirty. On the train, unwrapped black-bread sandwiches were handed to us out of a basket by a girl with soiled hands about 9 A. M. Regular breakfast was served at the hotels between 10 and 11 A. M., luncheon between 3 and 4, and supper between 10 and 11 P. M. Fresh fruit was non-existent; it is exported.

We were constantly told how much better off the Russians are now than they were before the Revolution. To be sure, we visited suburban homes formerly owned by well-to-do families now in use as "Workers' Clubs," or "Homes of Rest and Culture," as they are called. In one of these, workers in undershirts were sitting around, one hammering on the grand piano. Their old hats were hung on an elaborate old lamp and the marble statuary. Beautiful paintings of the former owners still hung at each end of the paneled dining room. The floors were bare and none too clean and there were iron cots in living room and dining room. The dining table was covered with soiled oil cloth and set with black bread and soup for the noonday meal of the inmates. A plaster bust of Lenin with a red necktie tied slightly askew graced the window seat in the living room. Out of the window, we saw and photographed girls very scantily clad lying in the tall grass of what had once been the garden, near an ornamental pool then filled with trash.

I was never in Russia before the Revolution. But as I passed miles of homes along the roads now neglected and nearly falling down and noted how many of them had ginger-bread carvings on them, it occurred to me that someone must have cared for them more than their present occupants do, or else they would never have bothered to carve them. As I watched the workers in the stores and noted what they were buying, I concluded that if they had formerly had less to eat than they were now getting they would not have survived. I met Russian bourgeois exiles in Switzerland who had escaped only with their lives and whose relatives had been killed after the Revolution. I believe that those exiles and the millions who were killed are more fortunate than the poor Russian proletarian left behind living as a mere cog in a God-

less, slavedriving state machine,

whether to work or be blown to bits. They worked.

The present economic depression or "collapse" is not as unprecedented as was the era of prosperity which just preceded it. No other country at any time has ever had a standard of living, a condition of general welfare, to compare with ours. Since our struggling little thirteen colonies pioneered through to the foundation of this nation, we have survived wars and many depressions (or "collapses") without halting our upward march and without ceasing to be the mecca of the whole world. Immigration barriers have been necessary to hold back the multitudes drawn here by the opportunities and liberty offered under our form of government. Africa, South America, and other lands have soil and resources as rich, but they have lacked our government and those American principles which have inspired progress in the people of all nationalities who have come here to make America their home.

Macauley, the historian, said: "Your Republic will be pillaged and ravaged in the twentieth century, just as the Roman Empire was by the barbarians of the fifth century, with this difference, that the devastators of the Roman Empire came from abroad, while your barbarians will be the people of your country, and the products of your own institutions."

Within each person lies the spirit and the power to help guide events in this nation either toward Russian revolution, with all its horrors, or upward toward firmer American principles and new American progress. Will our people rise in this crisis, as they have before, or will they at last fall? That

depends upon you and me.

Anna Smirnova, Moscow factory worker, answering questions about Russia in the communist Daily Worker of Nov. 10, 1933 says: "It is true that we are unmercifully driving from our ranks and from our enterprises all those 'wreckers' and counter revolutionary forces in our midst—those forces that are using all their intelligence and physical strength to hold us back and to establish a capitalist society among us.... To take the place of the Church we have given the workers the theatre... club houses, etc. To take the place of the Bible and the priests, books concerning the class struggle by Lenin and Stalin. There are quite a few churches left in the U. S. S. R. It is true that with each year the number grows less... little by little through their contacts with this culture of ours they" (the believers) "are being won over to the cause of the workers' struggle to establish a Socialist Society and they find little place or time in their lives to think of religion." (Won over by the example of the "liquidated.")

Party which comprises but 1% of the population?

sor-ry. He's a good guy!"

As a reward the communist Daily Worker editorially promises us the

following (Nov. 20, 1933):

"The deepening of the crisis of American capitalism, the growing sympathy for the Soviet Union, gives the Communist Party of the U. S. A. the

videst possibilities of convincing and winning the American toiling masses

for the revolutionary way out of the crisis.

"The Communist Party of the Soviet Union is affiliated with the Communist International. It is the most influential but not the only influential party in the International. It is one part but not the whole of the International. Its advice is highly precious because it has long accomplished what the Communist Parties of the world are only striving at—the proletarian revolution. The advice and experiences of the other parties, however, is also of great value in determining the policies of the Comintern. The seat of the Comintern is Moscow because this is the capital of the only workers' and peasants' government in the world, and the Comintern can meet there freely. As the workers become rulers of other countries, the Comintern will not have to confine its meetings to Moscow alone.

# "O, LET THEM BLOW OFF STEAM—AS THEY DO IN ENGLAND"

Before obligingly parroting this subtle Red propaganda:

2. Read: "The Surrender of an Empire" by Nesta Webster, "Potted Biographies" (of British statesmen), and the weekly "Patriot" of London, to gain some actual picture of England's blind grapple with Socialism-Communism within. (Boswell Pub. Co., 10 Essex St., London, W. C. 2.)
3. Read in this book, in the daily press, and A. C. L. U. reports, of the determined fight the A. C. L. U. (directed by Communists, Socialists and

sympathizers) wages to secure the "free speech" for Reds to "blow steam" into the Red movement, whereas Michael Gold's statement in the Daily Worker, Oct. 28, 1933, is typical of the Communist-Socialist view of "free speech" for others. To quote: "This whole controversy over free speech is an academic one with these ivory-tower liberals. To the worker it is something as real as murder. It is part of the class war, not something in the clouds. Free speech is not an inalienable right, but something to be fought for—a class weapon. It is not to be given up to scabs in a strike, or to Nazis and Ku Kluxers. We are not interested in hearing what they have to say—we only wish to labor that they may not exist." Read herein what Robt. Briffault says of "liquidating" dissenters in the article "Recovery Through Revolution" under "Organizations."

- 4. Take note that the Garland Fund appropriation "to investigate spy activities of the U. S. Department of Justice" and the National Popular Government League's false charges resulted in successfully shutting off the appropriation of U. S. funds to the Dept. of Justice for the purpose of investigating Red activities in the U. S. A. This was in 1925. We have since had no actual protection from the Government against Reds except some barring and deportation of Reds by the late Mr. Doak through the Dept. of Labor. "Miss" Perkins has now changed that. Then note that the Communist Party (see Communist Organization in the U. S. A.), which was illegal and was raided at Bridgman, Michigan in 1922, after 1925 came out more boldly, until in 1928 all camouflage was thrown aside and it labeled itself "Communist Party of the U. S. A. (Section of the Communist International)." Since 1928, it has increased its organizing Party workers to 27,000 members and enlisted a membership in its subsidiary organizations of 1,200,000 members, approximately the number of Communists now holding down Russia's 160,000,000 people who, however, were put in bondage by not over 79,000 Communists (by working the "united front"). Many of these members of Communist subsidiaries are our college presidents, professors, ministers, and public idols.
- 5. Study various revolutions and learn what a small number of determined agitators can actually govern a country. Observe what is being done in Washington now.

6. Ask yourself if in recent years sex, pacifistic, atheistic, and socialistic

propaganda has increased in America—and why.

# COMMUNIST ORGANIZATION IN THE U. S. A.

"The Communist Party of U. S. A. (section of the Communist International)," which is the title of Moscow's American branch, is one of about

59 national branches of the Third International

To quote from the leaflet "Revolutionary Greetings," which is presented to each new Party member in the U. S. A.: "The Communist Party was organized Sept. 1, 1919, by the revolutionary workers who were expelled from or left the Socialist Party when it became a reformist organization.

"The Party was declared illegal by the Federal government in January,

1920, when thousands of its members were arrested.

its name into Workers Party.

"The Party has been a section of the Communist International from the

The United States is now (1934) divided into 20 districts each with its own committee. Each district is divided into sections and sub-sections with Section Committees, mapped out in accordance with the residential location

of Communist members.

Each Unit has its own "Functionaries," such as Organizer, Agit-Prop (agitational propaganda) Director, Literary Agents, etc. The Units after they number more than 25 members, are frequently divided. Meetings of these Units are held in the homes of members and admittance is solely by membership identification (now a numbering system, 1934). General meetings of functionaries of Units are held at a Party headquarters with admittance only by membership identification. Since the Communist Party is a secret society it is impossible to know, with the exception of certain open

sections; Sec. 1 has charge of gathering information relative to the army and navy; Sec. 2 has charge of organizing Communist "centuries" or "100's," which are to be the framework of the Revolutionary army. Sec. 3 has charge of abolishing military power, also the organized espionage; it is further composed of nine branches:

1. Must speak and write English correctly; 2. Must know American history and political economy; 3. Must study minutely and in minute detail the political activity of the parties in the U. S.; 4. Must send a daily report to Torgpred; 5. Must dress correctly and in style; 6. Must hide their identity as well as their functions; 7. Must never have on their persons, in case of arrest, anything which will compromise the Party or anyone connected with the Party; 8. When doing a job must be certain they are not being watched, but if watched, escape at all costs; 9. Never speak of their assignments, even to comrades; 10. Never call a comrade in public; 11. In case arrested never confess not even when told their fellows have confessed; 12. Before appearing in court prepare defense carefully beforehand, then speak as little as possible; 13. When arms or explosives are found on an arrested Tchekist, he will swear that he found them on the street, or they were handed him by an unknown person; 14. In prison do not speak to anyone, not even those arrested with you, they may be spies; 15. Get a Communist lawyer if possible; speak only in his presence; 16. How to maneuver policemen and judges is the first duty of an arrested Communist. Violations of any of the above rules cause the Tchekist so violating to be considered and treated as anti-revolutionist.

The third branch under Torgpred is Amtorg (so-called Commercial agency of the Soviet Govt. in the U. S.), under which is Ikki (the executive committee) under the control of the Komintern (Communist International). In the U. S., Ikki's mission is to direct the action of the American Communist Party. It studies the possibilities of action. The functions of Ikki are as follows: 1. Organizes centuries (A) in "clashing" or strife groups and (B) in combat groups (armed Communists) (20,000 arms had already been imported, in 1930, for this purpose); 2. Obtains arms in foreign countries; 3. Organizes specialist corps to manufacture grenades, bombs and explosives; 4. Formulates plans for disarming the police and loyal troops; 5. Operates to break up all groups of loyal fighting workmen when the revolution starts, and to destroy, when unable to capture, all tanks, cannon, machine guns and other weapons which the loyal proletariat might use; 6. Details

and instructs reliable men who at the zero hour will arrest you and put to death magistrates, police heads and police officers; 7. To seize quickly all barracks, city halls, public buildings and newspapers; 8. To seize and strongly occupy all public means of transportation, stations and piers; 9. To use sabotage on all state equipment, bridges, telegraphs and telephones, railroads, army trucks, powder mills, aviation camps, barracks, police stations, banks and newspapers—which if left undestroyed will aid the State to quell the revolution.

Clarence Hathaway of the central committee of the Party spoke one hour Jan. 21, 1934 at the Chicago Coliseum on Leninist policies for seizure of power and said they already had men in the Army and Navy ready to turn their guns on their officers and the "capitalist class" (as they did in the Russian revolution) and turn any war into Red revolution. He emphasized the point that "We must be ready and prepared to DESTROY everyone who puts up any struggle against us." An audience of 10,000 Reds cheered him and booed the American flag as it was paraded up and down the aisles, by men dressed as U. S. soldiers, led by a man dressed to represent a capitalist holding a big yellow bag with a dollar mark on it. A huge Red flag was then dropped from the top of the stage and the audience applauded enthusiastically.

Front," the monthly publication for the Red Army in the U. S. A., is published by the "Central Executive Committee, Red Front Fighters League of U. S. A., 95 Ave. B, N. Y. City." The November 1933 issue was distributed at the Communist mass meeting Nov. 7, 1933 at the Chicago Coliseum and is headlined "Mobilization!" After telling of the need for fighting Fascism in the U. S. A., it says, to quote from p. 1: "We revolutionary workers who at all strikes, demonstrations, and picket lines have a share in the tear gas and the clubs of capitalistic lackeys are also not more anxious for terrorism and beatings without returning them their due. We live in a new time, when any day may be the beginning of the struggle. . . . WE RED FRONT COMRADES HAVE A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY" (emphasis in original) "in winning over the unemployed for the fight against Hunger and Frost and to open food storage places. New methods for the defense of strikers must be discovered. At the same time the question of anchoring the Red Front in different factories and shops, railroads, etc. are of the greatest importance. The dashing to pieces of the whole apparatus of government, is, in the period of revolutionary uprising, thus easier to accomplish." (Emphasis supplied).

# COMMUNIST PARTY AND RELIGION

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, "Mother of harlots and abominations of the earth" (Rev. 17:5), is the world's first government to raise the flag of absolute hatred and enmity to God Almighty. It not only makes no secret of its satanic Marxian atheism but finances and boastfully backs immoral sex and militant atheist movements the world over. In addition to surpassing the worst days of pagan Rome in its wholesale murder, persecution, and exile of Russian Christians, it endeavors to kill the souls of the young generation by prohibiting all teaching of God to children; by urging children to publicly disown non-atheist parents; by urging parents to turn over children to atheist state control; by blaspheming God and Jesus Christ always and everywhere in the Communist press, in plays, in anti-religious parades and pageants and in nauseous cartoons placed in former churches. Its birth control societies, there and in America, are for the purpose of facilitating immorality and encouraging promiscuity and the abolition of Christian marriage. Communism blasphemes not only against the "Son of Man" and all churches but against the Divine Spirit under any name or form whatever.

I heard Neil H. Ness of the sinister Russian O. G. P. U. speak at the radical Seven Arts Club, Chicago, Oct. 14, 1933. His outstanding boasts were that Soviet Russia in 15 years under Communism had risen to first place as the greatest military power in the world, and that "Godless Russia" had done more in fifteen years than Christianity had in nineteen hundred. He said he had been often asked about promiscuity in Russia and that in reply he would say it had been his observation that the "ladies of shame" had all turned good Bolsheviks after the revolution and were now "handing out their commodity in a Comradely manner." Truly this accomplishment of changing vice from a segregated, commercialized pursuit to a free and general habit is something Christianity has not achieved in nineteen centuries, nor have the savages in thousands of years. They are less degenerate.

"The Church and the Workers" is pamphlet No. 15 in the series of Inter

and political movement. It is not concerned with the institutions of marriage and religion." Agnostic Victor Berger backed this plank, as did Unterman, delegate from Idaho, who started off his speech in its favor by declaring himself to be a thorough atheist but argued: "Would you expect to go out among the people of this country, people of different churches, of many different religious factions and tell them they must become atheists before they can become Socialists? That would be nonsense. We must first get these men convinced of the rationality of our economic and political program."

only when it denies the existence of God."

Ind., May 12 to 18, 1912, pages 247-8).

The May 9, 1920 Socialist Party Convention adopted a "Declaration of Principles" which urged complete separation of church and state and allowed freedom of conscience to worship or not as one pleased. At this same time David Berenberg of Socialist Rand School reported to the Socialist Party international executive committee on the book to be published that August by the Socialist Schools Publishing Assn. connected with the Rand School. It was entitled "Socialist Sunday School Curriculum." The Lusk Report sums up its review by saying the purpose of this book was "to inculcate in the minds of children from a very early age a distrust in the government of this country as now constituted, a belief that religion is one of the instruments invented by capitalists for the oppression of workers and to lead them to accept the revolutionary principles of the Socialist movement." (p. 1791).

The booklet sums up its point of view on the last page with the statement: "The decay of religion is, indeed, a measure of the advance of humanity."

public of Sept. 1933:

Among books sold and recommended by the Socialist Party hdqts. In 1932-3 are: "Socialism the Utopia of Science" by Engels, in which he says: "Nowadays in our revolutionary conception of the universe there is absolutely no room for either a Creator or ruler" (English edition, 1901, p. 17); "Socialism in Thought and Action" by Harry W. Laidler, L. I. D. student lecturer, in which he says: "the philosophy of Socialism is itself diametrically opposed to the principles of revealed religion" (p. 155); the "Communist Manifesto" of atheists Marx and Engels, admittedly the "bible" and foundation of Socialism; a new edition with adornments by Socialist leaders is now advertised as "A Very Convenient Handbook—KARL MARX. An Essay by Harold J. Laski with the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. With Introduction by Norman Thomas" (Student Outlook, May, 1933); etc., etc.

they asked Rev. Burt, who presided and spoke, whether Socialism and Communism were the same. He replied lengthily that their aims were the same but that their methods of attainment differ. They then asked him why the Socialists recommended the Communist Manifesto for reading. Burt replied that the Communist Manifesto is the basis of Socialism. After reading this Manifesto, a copy of which is before me, I was unable to understand how anyone could presume to be a disciple of both Christ and Marx. Since it is the "bible" of Socialism-Communism, it is sold at all Communist and Socialist book stores. It is printed in pamphlet form, about forty-eight pages. It was drawn up first in 1848 by Marx and Engels, later re-edited by Engels in 1888. Class hatred is, of course, the dominating note. Society is divided into two classes, proletarian and bourgeoisie (or middle class, such as small merchants and land owners). The bourgeoisie are represented throughout as the villains who exploit the proletarians. The proletarians, or lowest class, are represented as the noble heroes who must fight to the finish for dictatorship in order to make everything equal. According to Marxian argument, people are necessarily worthy of ruling all society because they are poor.

proletariat.'

single sentence: Abolition of private property."

(Page 24): "And the abolition of this state of things is called by the bourgeois, abolition of individuality and freedom! And rightly so. The abolition of bourgeois individuality, independence and freedom is undoubtedly aimed at. By freedom is meant, under the present bourgeois conditions of production, free trade, free selling and buying."

(Page 25): "In a word you reproach us with intending to do away with

your property. Precisely so; that is just what we intend."

(Page 26): "Abolition of the family! ... On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution. The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course . . . with the vanishing of capital."

(Page 27): "But you Communists would introduce community of women, screams the whole bourgeoisie in chorus! . . . Bourgeois marriage is in reality a system of wives in common and thus, at the most, what the Communists might possibly be reproached with is that they desire to introduce, in substitution for a hypocritically concealed, an openly legalized community of women."

being is now largely limited to encouragement of free relations, legalized abortions, and state care for children. The private "ownership" of one man for one woman is called "capitalism" and is frowned upon. The teaching is: "Break down the family unit to build national Communism, break down nationalism (or patriotism) to build international Communism."

To resume quoting from the Manifesto (Page 29): "But Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience. What does this accusation reduce itself to?... The Communist revolution is the most radical rupture with traditional property relations; no wonder that its development involves the most radical rupture with traditional ideas." (Thus does Marx defend the destruction of all morality and all religion.)

(Page 44): "In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.... The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Working men of all countries, unite!"

This last sentence is a slogan of the Socialist Party and is used on their literature with a picture of two hands clasped around the world. A Socialist leaflet advertising supplies (secured at Chicago headquarters) lists: "Red flag buttons or pins (large and small) 15c each."

# WOMEN AND SOCIALISM

Friedrich Engels' "Origin of the Family" (p. 91-92) says: "With the transformation of the means of production into collective property the monogamous family ceases to be the unit of society. The private household changes to a social industry. The care and education of children becomes a public matter. Society cares equally well for all children, legal or illegal. This assumes the care about the consequence which now forms the essential social factor hindering the girl to surrender unconditionally to the beloved man."

ration would naturally ensue." Eleanor Marx, another daughter, never married her "husband" Dr. Aveling. A consistent Socialist woman would neither marry nor bear her "husband's" name. (Note the leading Red women who do not bear the husband's name.)

# "CHRISTIAN" SOCIALISM

The American Association for the Advancement of Atheism (4A), which cooperates in its own World Union of Atheists with Moscow's International of the Godless and other Communist groups, in its official reports proudly relates how the socialist Debs Memorial Radio Station (WEVD) staunchly aided it in regularly broadcasting the 4A Atheist propaganda. It states that it has but two real foes, Fundamentalist Christianity and Roman Catholicism, and adds that it welcomes the aid of Modernists in paving the way for Atheism (and, one might add, Communism). Jeeringly, it asserts that the reason Fundamentalists do not dare openly to expose heresy within the Protestant Churches is because they are afraid of a split and that the Churches are thus held together "by real estate." To this one might reply that Christ's faith was started without any real estate in the first place and it can flourish and acquire real estate any time that it burns with living power.

lecture platform, and radical politicians

Three facts stand out:

- 2. Cooperation with Marxism is cooperation with Atheism. Christ has warned us against trying to serve two masters, saying "he who is not with Me is against Me." Also, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness. . . . Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you." (II Corinthians 7:14-17).

My most vigorous opponents are "Christian" Socialists, even those who are only sympathizers with the Red movement. My first experience was with the Rector of the Episcopal Church which I formerly attended and in spite of this I believe him to be a sincere, tho misguided, believer in Christ. I was lecturing about Russia and I told him about the Soviet government's dreadful blasphemous anti-Christian displays I had seen there, of their open boast that they would accomplish from within the same thing in America, and offered to come and show my Russian pictures to the Women's Guild, gratis. Of course, I expected his sympathetic indignation and cooperation. Instead, to my surprise and bewilderment, he started talking about "Christian" Socialism and about its being "quite different" from Communism; he stated that he had once belonged to a small Socialist group at Oxford "just for the benefit of the social order." Later, he asked if an anti-communist lecturer who was to speak in the vicinity was "one of those terrible American Legion men" and asked if I did not agree with him that Norman Thomas' Socialist campaign platform was "pretty good." His instantaneous, almost automatic, efforts to shield godless Communism and his refusal to allow me to warn of its atheistic Christ-crucifying plans came as a shock to me at the time, but I soon found it to be but a mild manifestation of "Christian" Socialism.

As we observe how "Christian" Socialist Reinhold Niebuhr advocates Marxian revolution and how he occupies the platform with atheist Communist Party officials controlled by godless Moscow; as I have observed the constant procession of Communist notices tacked on "Christian" Socialist Tittle's Evanston M. E. Church bulletin board and read his printed sermons praising Communist revolutionaries as the ones God "spoke through"; as one observes with what zeal Harry Ward, Bishop McConnell, and other "Christian" Socialists serve the A. C. L. U. legal defense of atheists and Communist criminals, and how pleasantly McConnell serves the Socialist campaign while Winifred Chappell serves the Communist campaign and signs a Manifesto subscribing to Communist principles, and all of these unite in the Methodist Federation for Social Service, headed by McConnell, in getting out the Bulletin edited by Ward and Winifred Chappell—after a thousand more obser-

The Catholic Church, strangely, seems unaware that it has a few Redaiders in its midst, but in spite of these no such headway has been made by radicals with Catholics as has been made with Protestants.

Gerard B. Donnelly, S. J., wrote, in "America," a Catholic publication (1932), a statement which should be framed and put on every church door in this land. He held that a vote for Norman Thomas for President would be in direct violation of Catholic doctrine and said: "No Catholic can accept the Marxian philosophy or the denial of the right of property. Socialism cannot Christianize itself merely by soft-pedaling or even by dropping entirely its dogmas on class warfare and property rights. Rome's ban against Socialism is not withdrawn.... The Socialist Party proposes recognition of the Soviet Union. Now the Soviets are publicly and explicitly hostile to God. To vote for their recognition, or, what is tantamount, to vote for a party which advocates their recognition, is once more formal cooperation with evil and obviously something no Catholic can do."

# Tactics

The Socialist method of attaining power has been the inspiration for the adjective which Communists popularly bestow upon their Socialist brothers. They call the Socialists "yellow" and the Second International the "yellow" International. This Socialist method, says Hearnshaw, is "the method of sapping rather than assault; of craft rather than force; of subtelty rather than violence. 'Permeation' has been their watchword... Above all they have tried to bemuse the public mind into the belief that 'socialism' and 'collectivism' are synonymous terms; and that all they are aiming at is a harmless and beneficent extension of state and municipal enterprise."

Even Friedrich Engels, collaborator of Karl Marx, writing to his friend Sorge in America (who collected Florence Kelley's letters from Engels and placed them in the New York Public Library) in commenting on the camouflage, subterfuge and indirection of Fabian Socialists said: "Their tactics are to fight the liberals not as decided opponents, but to drive them on to socialistic consequences; therefore to trick them, to permeate liberalism with socialism, and not to oppose socialistic candidates to liberal ones, but to palm them off, to thrust them on, under some pretext. . . . All is rotten." (So-

Even more rotten is the attempt of mis-named "Christian" Socialists to deceive Christians into believing that Marxism is like Christianity. The Daily Northwestern of Dec. 13, 1932, under the heading "Niebuhr Claims Marxian Theory Like Christian," reviews Niebuhr's book, "Moral Man and Immoral Society," which has been praised by both the Communist and Socialist Red press for its correct Marxian position in setting forth the necessity for bloody class hate and revolution. It quotes him as saying: "The religio-political dreams of the Marxians have an immediate significance which the religio-ethical dreams of the Christians lack." Yes, indeed! The religio-political dreams of the Marxians include the destruction of Christianity and of the very moral principles Christ held dear. Whenever and wherever Marxians

attain power, as in Mexico, Russia, or Spain, Christian churches are "significantly" and immediately closed or destroyed and Christians persecuted.

Karl Marx, the idol of Reinhold Niebuhr, denies the existence of God or Supreme Spirit in any form. He teaches: the desirability and inescapable necessity of class hatred, class revolution, envy and covetousness; the abolition of the family unit and of marriage; the communizing of women; state ownership of children; that matter and force constitute all of creation; that only materialistic circumstance guides destiny, character, and history; that man's spirit is as material as a chemical effervescence or an electric spark which flickers out or rots with the body; that "Religion is the opium of the people"; that with the vanishing of property rights, religion and morality will vanish, along with other "bourgeois sentimentalities"; that a governmental proletarian dictatorship must be set up by violence; and that any theory that the two classes can get together is only a dodge on the part of the bourgeoisie who wish to avoid having their throats cut in a bloody proletarian revolution.

a mastery over self.

Anyone who says that the theories of Marx and Christ are alike is either a hopeless idiot or a wilful deceiver. But the siren call of Marxism to the altruist, who clings to the title of "Christian" for the sake of lingering sentiment, or financial or political expediency, is that it promises to obtain by foul means a pure, just, classless, equalitarian society; by means of rage and hate to usher in the reign of brotherly love; by means of plunder and gory class war to achieve peace; and by means of anti-moral propaganda to ele-

vate mankind. By discouraging the lazy, incompetent and debauched man from the belief that his condition is in any way the result of his own faults, but rather that all sufferings and inequalities are due to capitalism, it promises to eradicate these sufferings through revolution.

The kindly man cannot see that, as Hearnshaw says: "Socialism debilitates and demoralizes those whom it seeks to succor." It "is the cry of adult babyhood for public nurses and pap bottles" and "by means of doles, poor relief, free meals, free education, free medical services, free everything—all paid for by the industrious and careful—it breeds and fosters a vast demoralized mass of paupers and vagrants . . . battening contentedly and permanently upon the industry of their more efficient and self-respecting neighbors."

"The ultimate source of our social evils is not economic," says T. W. Headley (in "Darwinism and Modern Socialism"), "and as soon as we realize that whatever social malady we have to deal with, it originates with human weakness and folly more than with outward circumstances, we have a prin-

ciple that will guide us.'

# "Socialism" That Is Christian Is Not Socialism

There is an epigram to the effect that "Socialism is Christian only in so far as it is not Socialism and Socialism only in so far as it is not Christian."

Modern predatory Socialism despises and ridicules as "only sham Socialism," the religious, purely voluntary "Associations for Cooperative Production" which were formed in England subsequent to 1848 by Christian groups calling themselves "Socialists." Dr. Robert Flint says of these Christian "Socialists": "They did not teach a single principle or doctrine peculiar to socialism but rather by their ethical and religious fervor struck at the very roots of socialism." They had no quarrel with the existing social system as such; they gave no countenance to projected raids on land and capital; they utterly rejected the doctrine that character and destiny are determined by materialistic circumstance; above all, they repudiated with abhorrence the idea of the class war and the ferocious savagery of the Communist Manifesto of Marx and Engels.

Dr. C. E. Raven's "Christian Socialism" tells the pathetic but ridiculous story of forty-one of these community enterprises all of which failed disastrously and failed in a short time. He illustrates and specifies as causes of their uniform collapse: the vicious principle of equality of reward irrespective of output or ability; lack of business capacity; quarrels; indiscipline; greed; dishonesty; slackness; inefficiency—it was said, for example, "you could always tell a Christian socialist by the cut of the cooperative trousers." When the incentive of competition and private profit is removed only compulsion remains as a driving force. Without dictatorship and force, any form of Socialism collapses. As Socialist-Communist G. B. Shaw has said: "Compulsory labor with death as the final punishment is the keystone of socialism" (Fabian Tract No. 51, 1906).

aries as 'vindicators of the rights of man.'"

"Marxian socialism is potent just because of its appeal to the primitive individualism of the subnormal man. It excites his passion for plunder; it stimulates his love of fighting; it bemuses his rudimentary conscience, making him believe that he is out for justice and not for loot; it muddles his immature mind with ineffable nonsense concerning complicated economic theories of value and surplus value. Of the potency and efficacy of its appeal there can be no doubt. It is the only really effective type of socialism in existence. It entirely supersedes its utopian predecessors; for they postulate self-sacrifice and hard work, and depict an ideal community which provides its own modest sustenance by cooperative toil—a most unattractive paradise to a cave-man. Only Marxian socialism offers brigandage—systematized, rationalized, moralized, glorified. Hence, as Thorstein Veblen says: "The socialism that inspires hopes and fears today is of the school of Marx. No one is seriously apprehensive of any other so-called socialistic movement. . . . In proportion as the movement in any given community grows in mass, maturity, and conscious purpose, it unavoidably takes on a more consistently Marxian complexion. . . . Socialists of all countries gravitate toward the theoretical position of avowed Marxism.' So, too, Clayton: 'Modern socialism is Marx and Marx modern socialism: there is no other foundation.' . . . Prof. Ely concludes: 'In socialism Karl Marx occupies a position . . . all going before him in a manner preparing the way for him and all coming after him taking him for a starting point.'" (Hearnshaw).

"Methodists Turn Socialistic" is the title of an article written by Socialist Chas. C. Webber (jailed in a radical strike in 1930 and defended by the A. C. L. U.), which appears in the Socialist, Garland-Fund-aided "World Tomorrow" of July 1933. In it he felicitates the Annual Conference of the M. E. Church held at Central Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. for its report on "The Necessity of Social Change—from capitalism to a socialistic economic system," and says that the motion to change the words "social ownership" (complete Socialism) in the final report to "social control" just barely passed. He says: "This debate clearly showed that the majority of the members of the N. Y. East Conference of the M. E. Church are convinced that 'capitalism' must be brought under some form of social control."

adopted communistic-socialistic resolutions.

The Methodist Federation for Social Service is headed by Bishop Francis J. McConnell, Socialist, A. C. L. U., etc., and its Bulletin is edited by Harry Ward, of radical fame, and Winifred Chappell, frankly of the Communist Party campaign committee. As an ex-Communist said to me, "Most of those Bulletins sound like the Daily Worker, only more so." The April 15, 1932 Bulletin, which I have, not only frankly admitted Federation cooperation with Communist organizations but under the heading "Is it a Coincidence?" said: "The nature of the membership of the Federation and the penetration of the church by this movement is indicated in part by the fact that entirely without design one third of the Delaware Conference membership belonged to the Federation. This overlapping included every member of the commission on 'Modern Business and Industry,' 10 of the 14 commission chairmen, and two secretaries of the Board of Foreign Missions who were largely responsible for the conference, and the presiding officer, the president of the Federation."

Of the "Call to Action," which had just then resulted in the formation in Chicago of the Socialist Methodist "Christian Social Action Movement," it also proudly observed that "most of the sponsors—were members of the Federation." Concerning the Federation's financial support it said the Rock River Conference had originated and systematically used the plan of donating "one half of one per cent of the preacher's salary including house rent" to the Federation (for its Socialist and Communist-cooperating activities) and that "Philadelphia uses it in modified form."

The editorial of Dr. E. P. Clarke, editor of the Riverside Daily Press and

himself a prominent Methodist layman, is reprinted in the National Republic of October 1933. To quote from it:

"The Methodist conference at Long Beach adopted resolutions urging the pardon of Mooney. It seems rather pertinent to ask what these ministers know about the Mooney case. The evidence has been reviewed by four governors—Stephens, Richardson, Young and Rolph—and they all refused to pardon Mooney. The courts have also acted unfavorably on his case in several hearings. The average citizen may well give some heed to the findings of these various investigations; and it looks as if the Methodist conference went far afield in seeking some subject on which to adopt resolutions.

"For centuries of human progress and recession it has been a controversial question as to the supremacy of church or state, but the Methodists apparently have no fear of stepping over the line. The action on the Mooney question might seem to line up the Methodists with the unsavory and violent

element of Russia and America.

"Other resolutions were of similar dubious propriety. To issue its demands upon the mayor of Los Angeles to abolish the 'Red squad' of police, foe of communistic rioters, and to investigate the Better American Federation, and other organizations outside of church affiliation is hard to reconcile with the teachings of the gentle Carpenter from Nazareth, which the church is supposed to further.

"The Methodist Church is probably the most powerful of all religious denominations. It has done a marvelous good, but when their conference presumes to rule on things religious, moral and political without regard to courtesy or courts of justice we fear the church's popularity is endangered,

especially with the youth of the land."

The communist Daily Worker of May 13, 1933 under the heading "Negro Bishops Back I. L. D. Fight" says: "The General Board of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in session in Jackson, Tenn. with 8 Bishops and 9 general officers, with more than 250 pastors and lay representatives throughout the U. S. went on record... The resolution reads in part: 'The Bench of Bishops and the General Board of the Colored Methodist Church in Annual Session desire to issue the following statement to the nation with reference to the Scottsboro and Peterson cases in Alabama, and the Angelo Herndon case in Georgia... we feel it our duty... to call upon our entire congregations throughout the Nation to contribute funds and moral support to aid in such able defense as shown by the International Labor Defense organization; and that such donations be given concertedly, and funds sent to a designated committee and in turn to the headquarters of the International Labor Defense.'" (Godless Moscow's Communist organization using this means to hook Christian Negroes into the revolutionary movement). "The Bishops of the bench are: Elias Cottrell, Holly Springs, Miss.; C. H. Phillips, Cleveland, O.; R. C. Carter, Chicago; R. T. Brown, Birmingham, Ala.; J. C. Martin, Memphis; J. A. Hamlett, Kansas City, Kans.; and J. W. McKinney, Sherman, Texas."

The colored people are a sincerely religious race. As long as they stayed in Africa un-Christianized, they remained, as did pagan white men, savages. Their pagan brothers in Africa today are savages, while in a comparatively

few years, under the opportunities of the American government and the inspiration of Christianity, the American Negroes have acquired professions, property, banks, homes, and produced a rising class of refined, home loving people. This is far more remarkable than that many Negroes are still backward. The Reds play upon the Negroes' love of their own people and represent them as persecuted in order to inflame them against the very white people who have in reality given the colored race far greater opportunities than their fellow negroes would give them in Africa today. Only recently the U. S. government was protesting slave holding by colored officials in Liberia. The Reds look upon the Negroes as their greatest hope. They want them to do their dirty work in stirring up bloody revolution and to bear its brunt. Then whether the Reds win or lose the Negroes will be the losers, for Sovietization is slavery.

"The negroes are made to believe that the Communists practice complete racial and social equality and that only when a Communist Government is set up in the United States will the negroes obtain equality and freedom from exploitation by the 'white bosses,' and in order to attract and impress the negro, the Communists make a point of encouraging mixed social functions where white women Communists dance with negro men and white men Communists dance with negro women. It is openly advocated that there must be complete social and racial equality between the whites and negroes even to the extent of intermarriage."

Put yourself in the Negro's place. Would you not be flattered by Dr. Tittle's act in putting over a Negro social equality plank in the 1932 General M. E. Conference in Atlantic City, following similar action by the Federal Council of Churches, even though you knew in your heart that social equality is guided entirely by human desires and feelings and that no law or plank can alter this. Neither a white nor a colored person will invite another person to supper in his home unless he wishes to. Sociability is won, not forced. Force on this point only engenders real antagonism, even bloodshed.

To quote the Chicago Tribune report of May 8, 1932 concerning this Conference, headed "Racial Question Jars Methodist Church Session": "Doctor Tittle's resolution stated that future general conferences will be held 'only in cities where there is no segregation of racial groups, no discrimination in hotels, hotel lobbies, hotel dining rooms, restaurants, or elevators.' . . . In his argument for the passage of the resolution Dr. Tittle . . . stated that the wording of his resolution 'followed closely a resolution recently adopted by the Federal Council of Churches.' . . . Such possible inability to find a city that would entertain the conference, Dr. Tittle said, would focus the attention of church and nation on the 'cause of racial equality.' . . . The M. E. Church South seceded from the northern church on the slavery issue nearly

a century ago. It was pointed out in debate that 'The passage of this resolution would forever end all possibility of reunion of the two American branches of Methodism.'"

The time was, when Methodism in its zeal for personal purity frowned upon dancing. Some Methodists nowadays who are little opposed to dancing even in a church were a bit surprised, however, when several colored men were introduced into circle dances at a dance given in the parish house of Tittle's church and were thus forced upon the young white girls as partners. An M. E. Guild member whose daughter attended this dance reported that when she phoned the assistant pastor about this he said that these colored men had been invited by Dr. Tittle himself (one of them being the son of a classmate of his at college), who felt that it was now time that the young people learned to mingle with other races. (God created separate races, but Communism insists upon racial inter-mixture and inter-marriage.)

The great American colored man, Booker T. Washington, voiced the sentiment of the best elements in both races when he said the races should be as separate and distinct as the fingers of a hand and as united for the service of all humanity. Why should either race wish to lose its distinctive characteristics? Neither the races nor the sexes can ever be equal. They will always be different and have distinctive functions to perform in life.

Most shocking is the constant procession of Red and outright Communist posters and notices which disgrace the bulletin board of this gorgeous M. E. church, coupled with the fact that the minister himself is a "book editor" of the National Religion and Labor Foundation and responsible for distribution of such Communist literature as "Toward Soviet America" by Wm. Z. Foster, "Little Lenin Library," etc.

One such poster advertised "We, the People," a play by Elmer Rice, for the benefit of the militant Socialist L. I. D., in which Tittle is a leader. This play is praised by the Communist press as "an argument for revolution." Others advertised: lectures by George Soule of the "New Republic," on such subjects as "The Chances for Revolution," at the Chicago City Club, Mar. 6, 7 and 8, 1933, under the auspices of the Chicago Forum Council, of which Tittle is a member; Scott Nearing's (Communist) lectures under the same auspices; Reconciliation Trips to radical headquarters; and the Oct. 23, 1933 mass meeting for the visiting French Communist, Henri Barbusse, whose "pacifistic" cure for war is bloody Red revolution. Perhaps most incongruous of all was the large poster advertising the "Proletarian Arts Ball" of April 15, 1933, given for the benefit of the communist International Labor Defense, Moscow's propaganda and legal defense agency to aid Communist criminals—a dance given for the defense of Communism, which means destruction of Christianity, and advertised in a Methodist Church!

grimy Communist, however sincere, cursing God and capitalism from a soap box, could ever lure the Church-going "bourgeoisie" into Marxism as can a truly sincere and altruistic "Christian" Socialist. Yet both are leaders to the same ugly end—Marxism. Those repelled by the crude who would shudder at raw Marxian doctrine, sit enraptured in a church to hear Marxism falsely embellished with adornments stolen from Christianity. Under the spell of soft organ music and dim religious light, they feel that whatever the preacher's direction it must be toward heaven and they remain oblivious of the fact, or uncaring, that the Communist notices sent out by Satan's publicity bureau hanging in their very Church are calls to Christ's flock to hear Communists like Henri Barbusse, advocates of Christ crucifixion and throat-slitting Red revolution, preach Communism as the "Way and the Truth." As one sees the blind leading the blind into the ditch, one realizes that Hell must indeed live up to its reputation of being "paved with good intentions."

That some Methodists are awakening to the issue now being forced within the church by radicals, and that they wish to cleave to the "faith once delivered" and to the Rock of Ages, rather than to the new social order of Marx and Lenin, is shown by statements such as that of Methodist Bishop Leete which I have quoted under "Christian Century." The survey of Bishop Lake revealing that the Methodist Church had lost 2,000,000 members between 1920 and 1932 should also provide food for thought. The fault certainly does not lie with the drawing power of Jesus Christ, "the same yesterday, today, and forever."

# "NEWS"

There is a saying: "When a dog bites a man, that is not news, but when a man bites a dog, that is news." Red meetings are constant occurrences in Evanston, Illinois. People either do not sense their significance or are used to them. It is not considered "news" that James M. Yard should at the same time be Dean of Religious Education of the Methodist Northwestern University, an active Communist-defending A. C. L. U. committeeman, an advertised John Reed Club speaker, and an official sponsor of the communist revolutionary Chicago Workers Theatre. (Once Methodists frowned upon the ordinary worldly theatre.) Nor, when the post of Dean of Religious Education was abolished and Yard lost his position, was the public announcement by Pres. Walter Dill Scott that Yard was not let go because of his radicalism, in itself, considered news. That Max Otto, a leader of the atheist movement, should be engaged in successive years by this Methodist University to lecture to its students on such subjects as "Can Science Recognize God" (Oct. 1933) and be praised and honored by the college paper for these addresses, is not news; nor is Harry Ward's address in praise of Godless Russia at Garrett Biblical Institute, or the sale of I. W. W. and other Red literature at this Methodist college Y. M. C. A., news. But when, following only two of the many Red meetings held in Evanston churches, a group of patriotic Americans gathered outside and sang "America" in protest against the sedition they had heard preached within, this was indeed as though a man had bitten a dog. It was news and the newspapers featured it!

"News" 39

The first of these was an A. C. L. U. meeting held in Tittle's Evanston M. E. Church and addressed by Carl Haessler, a teacher and official of the Communist Party's school of revolution at 2822 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, and a fellow A. C. L. U. committee member with Dr. Tittle. Haessler ended his talk with a little story illustrating the A. C. L. U. viewpoint, frankly saying "And so what we want is not more liberty but more license!" On the Church bulletin board hung an announcement of Communist Scott Nearing's lectures. Tittle attended this meeting. Inside the door of the church at the close of the meeting a Communist handed out leaflets reading: "A Lecture of Vital Importance!—by Romania Ferguson who recently returned from the Lenin Institute of Moscow. On Tuesday, January 17th, 8 P. M., at The Unitarian Church of Evanston—Fight for the freedom of the Scottsboro boys! Join with the International Labor Defense! Auspices: International Labor Defense, Scottsboro Branch of Evanston."

attempted but unsuccessful slap was news!

At the announced communist I. L. D. meeting which followed, the Reds were prepared to defend themselves against any patriotic utterances. Police were stationed inside the Unitarian Church. And one menacing looking Negro in front of us pulled out his gun and looked it over before returning it to his pocket. Others had bulging pockets. A colored woman as officer of this I. L. D. branch announced that regular meetings were held in this Unitarian Church every first and third Tuesday of the month; also that all of the 18 north side branches of the I. L. D. were expected to participate in a Communist demonstration to be held before the Japanese consulate in Chicago the following week as a protest against Japan's war against the Chinese Soviets and Chinese revolution. When this demonstration actually took place, an army of steel-helmeted policemen was required to disperse the surging crowds of Red rioters which formed and reformed to advance on the building. Several policemen were injured and one without a steel helmet had his skull fractured by Communists.

Haessler at the Chicago school of revolution. He said that it was a good thing the capitalistic class in America were building fine homes and other buildings as these would then be ready for the "workers" to take over and occupy by revolution in from six months to a year. He said that only old people cared for churches in Russia now; that no one under 35 went to church and, as the old people would soon die off, churches would soon be extinct there. He pointed out that children could be taught anything and that the same thing could be accomplished in America by training the young generation against religion. (A fine meeting to advertise in a Methodist Church!) Red cards were passed out at this meeting advertising a Scott Nearing lecture for the benefit of the Communist school of revolution. Nearing's lectures had been advertised on white paper on the bulletin board at the Methodist Church, a slight difference—in paper.

The police who had so staunchly stood by while Romania talked sedition, at once attempted to disperse the patriotic crowd that stopped to discuss the meeting outside. They were told to go back inside the church, but the group objected saying they were not wanted inside the church, that the police allowed sedition inside why not patriotism outside? When one policeman kept insisting they must either go back inside the church or go home, some in the crowd said "All right we will go back in. Come on!"; but as they started to do so, a woman of the church aided by a policeman barred the door of the church and flourished her arm at me and said: "You shan't come in." I said: "Keep your hands off me" as she waved dangerously near my nose and this flourishing falsely reported as "hitting" furnished the "news" for the next burst of publicity, which, however, did some really enlightening educational work. People who had been actually unaware of the Red movement in Evanston started wondering and inquiring what it was all about.

And what did the dear smart successful American capitalist Church trustees, who collect \\$85,000 or more each year to support Tittle's activities, do? They issued a public statement rebuking those who would interfere with the "free" speech of the M. E. Church pulpit and expressing their staunch

admiration for and support of Dr. Tittle.

The communists' Federated Press news service, Mar. 29, 1933, stated:

liberties meeting in his church hall."

"Following the activities of the American Legion and Paul Revere Clubs in exposing the affiliations and red-supporting activities of the Reverend Ernest Fremont Tittle, pastor of the First Methodist Church, Evanston, Illinois, the government board of the church has issued a statement expressing 'absolute confidence in Dr. Tittle's Christian character and his deep unselfish devotion to his country and humanity.' We note that these profound expressions of support come from Fred Sargent, president of the Northwestern Railroad, William A. Dyche, donor of Dyche Stadium to Northwestern University, R. C. Wieboldt, and others.

"This is quite typical of the warning we have voiced continually in our bulletins. Knowing little or nothing of the ramifications of Communism and Socialism, these 'Captains' of industry listening to the siren voice of this misleader, come to his support with a vote of confidence. The average man would sing pretty hard to get the support of the millions represented by the three men named above. The moral and financial support which is given the Communist and Socialist movements by the very class that would suffer most if these agencies should win control, is one of the principal factors in the perpetuation of these movements in this country. Without this support Communism and Socialism would collapse of their own weight.

"Men like Tittle are more valuable to the Communist movement than if they were actual members of the Party. Lenin's injunction 'Get things done and paid for by others' has been fulfilled to a remarkable degree. The unfortunate part of things is that should either Communism or Socialism succeed in their objectives the loyal would have to suffer for the mistakes of the misguided. The more we study Lenin, the more we appreciate his diabolical shrewdness and psychology."

# JAIL OR ASYLUM FOR ME—SUGGESTS "LIBERAL" MONDALE

your indignation, your protest, etc." To quote:

The following letter comes from R. Lester Mondale, Evanston, who takes this opportunity to answer a worker who had written to him, asking "How is it possible for Mrs. ———— (a notorious red-baiter) to insult every worker in this country, calling them 'gutter adherents,' without being thrown into a prison or insane asylum?":

# "Dear Frank:

"You ask, 'How is it possible that this woman can insult every honest wage earner in this country without being thrown in a prison or insane

asylum?

"Permit me to tell you how it is possible for these respectable women to insult you and to get away with it. My answer will sound stranger than fiction. But Frank, the reason it sounds strange is that you have been fed up on the lies you read every day in the newspapers and the lies you were taught in the public schools—lies about every American being born

tree, and equal to the richest.

"One sentence will explain why they insult you, Frank. This man I speak of was for years a professional strike-breaker in the Clay Products Industries. Do you see the connection now? By pretending to be superpatriots these people can break up the workingman's unions, keep him in poverty, and call all liberals like myself un-American Communists because we would like to see these ladies get a little less of the country's

'patriots' and their schools and their newspapers.

"Your fellow workers in Germany were not fooled. They saw the German patriots grinding the life out of the working men at a time when their country was over-flowing with milk and honey, and they organized. In Germany the respectable people, such as insult you in this country, became afraid that the working man would get justice, that the working man would seize the factories in which he worked and use them for all the people, rather than for the respectable patriotic few, the owners. Today, the German relatives of those American women who insult you, are making their last desperate stand under the leadership of that madman and enemy of the worker, Hitler. They are making one last desperate stand to keep the working man in the gutter. The German workers need your help. If you can help the German working man today, help to overthrow Hitler Fascism, then, when the time comes for you to get justice in this country, they will stand ready to help you.

"The day is coming, Frank, when those who insult honest working men will be cast into prison or into the hospitals for the insane. And you,

Frank, are the one to set the date

"Very Sincerely yours,
"R. Lester Mondale."

# Dear Red Worker:

time in smelly jails with you. Don't you see how much safer it is for him to peek out from behind the skirts of respectability, to sic you on to do the

dirty work? In that way he gets the thrill without paying the bill.

After the Revolution is over, of course, I shan't blame you, Red, if you do with his kind just what your brothers in Russia did after their Revolution. They made truces with some of their outright Czarist enemies but they cleaned out as so much bourgeois trash the yellow little professors and ministers who had tried to play both sides and were true to neither, especially when it came to making sacrifices. This was right. One cannot depend on a man who is not loyal to his colors—be they Red or White.

Mike Gold has the right idea. In his communist Daily Worker column

Oct. 24, 1933, he says of these arm-chair warriors:

"One of the basic dangers has been that these intellectuals come into the movement bringing a great deal of worthless bourgeois baggage in their minds and trying to sell this junk to the movement. They sometimes demand positions of leadership, and try to revise and pervert the proletarian character of the Communist movement. . . . One of the most amazing sights to me has been to watch some of the recent recruits to Marxism around New York. Their progress is sometimes as rapid and humorous as that of an old Keystone comedy. On May 1 they suddenly discover the proletarian revolution. It had been present in the world for over 60 years but the boys shout and whoop as though they were original Columbuses. . . . By the next May Day these heroes have been completely disillusioned. Now they have a whole new program for Communism and they share the 'betrayed' feeling of a Trotsky. Really it is no wonder intellectuals get a bad name. The worker earns his Communism and the right to make mistakes by hard and dangerous experience. Do these intellectuals really EARN their right to criticize? They know nothing, actually nothing, of the revolutionary practise. It is all in their heads."

But wasn't it kinda cute and deteckatif-like for him to find out all by himself that a big strong man is seen with me "more often than not?" Of course he only infers—you know. Wouldn't he be surprised if he could see the door close on that man and me night after night when he brings me home? He has stayed with me for fifteen years, and, while law and engineering are supposed to be his professions, still he *does* break spinach-eating and neckwashing "strikes" on the part of our children.

Yours until I clasp a White's lily, Mrs. A. W. Dilling.

# WHO ARE THEY?

Those who read newspapers these days without some knowledge of Red propaganda and its propagandists miss much of the significance of what they read. Lectures, forums and debates, advertised in such a way as to make it appear they are impartial educational entertainments of general public interest, are the mediums constantly used for subversive propaganda among the intelligentsia.

Stuart Chase, when he lectured before the society Town Hall audiences was advertised as an "economist" and author, not as a Socialist propagandist and former associate of the Berkman anarchist gang. Scott Nearing, the Communist mouthpiece of Moscow, is also referred to in the press as a lecturer and "economist." In the press notices announcing Horace Bridges as the speaker for a North Shore audience, his connection with the Ethical Society was emphasized, but no mention made of his connection with the Communist-aiding American Civil Liberties Union. He is on the Chicago Committee which has been pushing suits against the City of Melrose Park because its police, when attacked and defied by Communist rioters, were forced to uphold law and order and use guns. If these suits are successful, no one will be safe, for naturally the police will not dare to interfere with Communist agitators.

# Gandhi

Vithalbhai J. Patel, speaker at the Wilmette Sunday Evening Club and Union League Club of Chicago last year was the Gandhi aid released from jail and "welcomed out" of India. He was the house guest while in Chicago, of Herbert J. Friedmann, who is on the executive board of the Chicago Civil Liberties Committee. Patel was listed in the Communist Moscow News of August 30, 1932, as the delegate for India to the Communist "World Congress Against War" which convened in Amsterdam in August, 1932.

continually from Moscow to the strike leaders. In May it was publicly announced that £1575 had been sent. . . . In August a sum of £5500 . . . on September 5, £1000 from Moscow. 'The Statesman' confessed itself puzzled as to the policy of the British government in allowing Soviet Russia to remit these sums through British banks in order to foment agitation. . . . In March, Pravda (Moscow official paper) had declared that the battles in India 'are now part of the World Revolution, led, organized and watched over by the Communist International . . . in July it devoted eight columns to an analysis of the position in India, showing that Moscow was not only heavily subsidizing the revolutionary movement there, but maintaining its own spies and agents, and again admitting that it was out to destroy British power in India." (The British government sent an appeal to the Indian people saying the government. Gandhi, Nationalist leader, replied demanding a conference.) "The violent elements in the Nationalist camp replied more forcibly by placing a bomb on the rails outside Delhi, with the object of blowing up the Viceroy's train, which was carrying him, on December 23rd, to a meeting with Gandhi and other Nationalist leaders. The plot, however, failed in its effect . . . (1930) Savage rioting broke out in Calcutta; a raid, accompanied by the murder of British officials and every form of violence, was made on the armories of Chittagong; loyal Indian police were massacred and burned by brutal mobs at Sholapur; the Afridis descended from the hills and Peshawar burst into flame. As Gandhi peacefully observed to the 'Times' correspondent 'Non-violent and violent movements always go hand in hand.'

"Then and then only, when India was in a blaze from end to end, the Viceroy took alarm and resolved on firmer action. . . . On May 5 Gandhi was arrested. His successors to the leadership, the aged Abbas Tyabji and Mrs. Naidu, then the Pandit Motilal Nehru and Vithalbhai Patel followed him into imprisonment later."

# Glenn Frank

Those who have paid "particular attention" to the Red movement know that Glenn Frank, president of the U. of Wis., is on the Mooney-Billings Committee organized by the American Civil Liberties Union, which fights for Communists and upon whose national board sit such Moscow-controlled Communists as William Z. Foster, Scott Nearing, and Robert W. Dunn. They know also of the exposures made by John B. Chapple, fiery Wisconsin editor, whose revelations showing the connections between radicalism and atheism at Wisconsin University and Communism-Socialism-La Folletteism resulted in such an uprising at the last election that for the first time in forty years the La Follette dynasty was overthrown. The Wisconsin voters registered their unwillingness to surrender to the threefold Red onslaught against (1)

the right to own property, (2) the American home and Christian moral standards. (3) the American form of government.

Harry Elmer Barnes, who said "There is no such thing as sin, scientifically speaking, and hence it disappears into the limbo of outworn superstitions. The Bible deserves no reverential awe," etc., founded the Wisconsin American Civil Liberties Union chapter with headquarters at the University. Governor La Follette, and Prof. Meiklejohn, head of the Wisconsin University Experimental College, are committee members. Meiklejohn's pupils on the Communist Labor Day, May 1, 1931, were flying the Red flag and singing the Internationale without known protest from him. One of his pupils, Fred Bassett Blair, now running for governor on the Communist ticket, was sentenced to serve a year for rioting in Milwaukee. Meiklejohn worked diligently to have him released. Governor La Follette pardoned and released him before his term expired.

The Wisconsin University Zona Gale Scholarship was awarded to a young Communist, David Goronefsky, alias Gordon. He led a Communist parade at Madison which resulted in the injury of two persons. He wrote an obscene poem against the United States, printed in the communist Daily Worker, which was so vile that he was sentenced to serve three years in the New York State Reformatory. Zona Gale, one of the Wisconsin University Regents wrote the New York Parole Board begging for Gordon's early release saying in part (U. of Wis. Cardinal, May 8, 1928): "I am interested in the future of David Gordon. Mr. Gordon was the winner of a scholarship in competition with many other applicants, a scholarship which he held at the time of his conviction for an offense committed before he entered the University of Wisconsin. As the donor of this scholarship I want you to know that with the approval of the president the scholarship will continue to belong to Mr. Gordon upon his release from the reformatory."

# Einstein

in-understandable scientist in the world is one of their number.

scientific authorities who with proof deride Einstein's theory. Dr. Nikola Tesla takes sharp issue with Einstein, saying: "The Einstein theory in many respects is erroneous." Charles Lane Poor, Ph. D., Professor of Celestial Mechanics at Columbia University, states: "The supposed astronomical proofs of the theory as cited and claimed by Einstein do not exist." Prof. Thomas Jefferson See, a distinguished scientific authority, says: "Einstein is neither astronomer, mathematician nor physicist. He is a confusionist. The Einstein theory is a fallacy. The theory that ether does not exist, and that gravity is not a force but a property of space can only be described as a crazy vagary, a disgrace to our age." Prof. Dayton C. Miller lectured before the Western Society of Engineers on his experiments in complete refutation of the Einstein theory.

Perhaps the most exhaustive treatise on the Einstein theories is the volume entitled "The Case Against Einstein," written by Dr. Arthur Lynch, a very eminent English scientist. While much of this treatise is a technical analysis of the mathematical and philosophical fallacies of Einsteinism from a scientific standpoint, part of it is of interest to the layman. Dr. Lynch cites such critics of Einstein as the noted mathematicians, M. Picard, Henry Poincaré, "perhaps the most celebrated of his race since Cauchy," G. Darboux, "who received the Nobel prize for mathematics," M. Paul Painleve, LeRoux, the German Klein, the Italians Ricci and Levi Civita, "who have done most to develop the mathematical instrument used by the Relativists" and who reject Relativity, and the American "framers of the case which is the corner stone of the theory, the Michelson-Morley experiment. Michelson rejected the Relativist theory."

# Jane Addams

During this Hearing, Carl Haessler of this same school of revolution sat taking notes, probably for his communist Federated Press, and when it adjourned he came along with Jane Addams as she magnanimously sought me out, her "enemy," to introduce herself. Graciously she said, "I don't believe we have ever met, Mrs. Dilling, I am Miss Addams." We shook hands and I said "I believe you have a very kind heart for the poor, Miss Addams, but why is it you have been helping the Communist movement all these years? Communism only pulls people down!" She said "I am not a member of the Communist Party." "No, of course not," said I, "You can do so much more good from the outside. But you have belonged to every outstanding Red-aid society from the American Civil Liberties Union with its terrible record in aid of sedition down to this last National Religion and Labor Foundation which uses atheist Soviet cartoons and talks plain revolution." She said, "I make no apology for my connection with the Civil Liberties Union. It was quite necessary during the war. But what is this National Religion and Labor Foundation you mention?" I dug down into my brief case and drew out its letterhead and pointed to her name on its national committee. Mildly she professed to know nothing about it, and her woman companion at her request copied off the address, presumably to chide the organization for "using her name."

Only a few weeks later (July 21) the Chicago Daily News carried the story of a radical strike in which three patrol wagons full of strike pickets were arrested for "hurling missiles at returning workers and the police," and stated that Lea Taylor of Chicago Commons (who had also testified against the Baker Bills at this same Hearing), Karl Borders of Chicago Commons, and Annetta Dieckman of the Chicago Y. W. C. A., along with Francis Henson, Victor Brown, Norman Sibley, and Ralph Barker, four delegates to the national conference of the National Religion and Labor Foundation then being held at Hull House, had joined the picket lines. So, after "discovering" her membership and making inquiries, Miss Addams must evidently have approved of the National Religion and Labor Foundation sufficiently to sanc-

tion its convention at Hull House.

The communist Daily Worker, Saturday, Oct. 21, 1933, said: "Today the John Reed Club will hold a banquet for Henri Barbusse at the Chicago Woman's Club, 72 E. 11th St. . . . Jane Addams internationally known social worker, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and head of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, writes that although illness will prevent her from attending the mass meeting, she expects to be present at the banquet and is anxious to meet M. Barbusse. . . . B. K. Gebert, district organizer of the Communist Party, and Herbert Newton, editor of the Workers Voice, are also scheduled to speak at the banquet. . . . Barbusse will be accompanied by Joseph Freeman, editor of the New Masses and Prof. H. W. L. Dana, noted author."

(See "Who's Who" for affiliations of Jane Addams.)

# G. Bromley Oxnam

Louis Adamic, radical, in an article entitled "Liberals in Los Angeles" in "Plain Talk" magazine for December, 1929, said: "A few years ago there was in town a Methodist minister, Methodist only in name—Bromley Oxnam, a man of tremendous personal force, who ran a dingy institution called the Church of All Nations, preaching in a vacant storeroom in an out-of-the-way street, interesting himself in all sorts of liberal and radical movements, fighting for the atheistic wobblies who got into jail, pacifists, anarchists and other victims of police persecution, running for office on independent tickets, speaking from all sorts of platforms five or six times a week. He wanted to stay in Los Angeles, but it was no place for a man of his sincerity and capacity and so when he received an offer of the presidency of De Pauw University in Indiana he wisely accepted it."

The Daily Worker, Communist newspaper, Oct. 26, 1926, stated: "Rev. Oxnam, one of the American delegation of 24" (Sherwood Eddy's delegation) just returned from Soviet Russia spoke at the open forum of the Civil Liberties Union at Music Arts Hall to a large audience. After reciting what he had seen in that immense country he urged that the American government recognize the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. . . . Such statements as 'priests are considered parasites and are therefore dispertanchised' and 'tho there is absolute religious freedom in Soviet Russia yet there are no young

Carl Haessler spoke at the Ravinia Woman's Club April 13th, 1932, in favor of Communism and violent Red revolution in America. His audience was composed of well-dressed women who enjoy the comfortable homes, great new inventions, and educational benefits of church and school which the American "capitalistic" system has fostered as never before in the world's history. To be sure, Haessler is a past master at the art of revolutionary propaganda. His own account of how he and a few others incited the strike of 3,200 fellow prisoners in Leavenworth Penitentiary demonstrates practical ability which no doubt helped him to secure his present position as Chicago head of the Communistic propaganda news-gathering agency, The Federated Press.

ence in Ravinia, where the Haesslers live.

Briefly, his arguments were for the confiscation of all private wealth and property, and for putting these under state control (control by state political machines being purer, supposedly, than private control). He said that while the Socialist and Communist systems were interchangeable, Socialists think they can win by peaceable means, while "history tells Communists" that violence is necessary, and that his sympathies were with Communism. He said Communism is inevitable and we had only to choose between "dragging along" for several generations or "having it over with" by quick, violent revolution. He deceptively compared this proposed revolution with our own Revolutionary War for independence (as Communists always do). He non-chalantly observed that while revolutions undoubtedly "pull down houses," many of these need pulling down anyway, and while they undoubtedly kill people, all of these would have to die later anyway, so that, after a few generations this violence becomes immaterial. He omitted to say that property destruction and death would be very material to this generation. However, as Haessler's appearance is harmless and appealing, the ladies applauded him enthusiastically; they had "listened," evidently, to his appearance.

It is interesting to note in Communist literature that criminal violence is always promoted and excused under a cloak of supposed martyrdom. Negroes are urged to fight their white "oppressors," who actually have freed them and given them better jobs and opportunities than exist in Africa. Mooney is the Anarchist convicted of bombing the 1917 Preparedness Day Parade at

San Francisco, when many were killed and injured. To the Communists, Mooney is "framed" by his "capitalistic oppressors," and freeing him is a popular Communist cause. Freeing the Scottsboro Negroes convicted of raping two white girls is another Communist enthusiasm (in order to stir up race hatred). Patriotic citizens of Ravinia speak with despair and indignation of their futile efforts to combat "Red" influences in Ravinia and of the persistence required to keep the United States flag displayed there. As soon as a "Ravinia Red" is reproached for disloyalty to America, he or she at once assumes the martyr role, giving the role of "oppressor" to the patriotic person, who is then referred to slightingly as a "hundred-per-center," "a narrow-minded D. A. R.," or a "super patriot." To praise the American Legion in "Red Ravinia" society circles, would be the social faux pas inexcusable.

No one in Ravinia has ever accused Brent Dow Allinson of being a "super patriot." He is the infamous slacker who refused to serve his country in the World War and, like Haessler, is a penitentiary alumnus. His mother is an active member of the Ravinia Woman's Club

to work. Their strike had been successful beyond their dreams. . . . The political prisoners had not produced the mob but they had supplied the direction for it. The two factors cooperated in a neat little revolutionary experiment behind the walls and under the guns of Fort Leavenworth. When the tide of events produces similar conditions on a national scale, it may be that men of national calibre will be ready to carry out a similar experiment on national and international lines." (All italicising mine). He was the spokesman for the strikers, as is proudly stated in the radicals' Am. Labor Who's Who.

communist Workers School (of revolution).

Haessler, while lecturing August 12, 1926, is said to have referred to his sister Gertrude as being then in Moscow studying "Journalism." Gertrude Haessler writes not only for Communist papers but also for the Communist "Party Organizer." She is an authority on publications of "shop nuclei," or revolutionary units in shops. The April, 1932, issue of that startling Communist paper, the "Labor Defender," bears an article by her entitled "In Blue Blood Kentucky." In it, she ridicules the "capitalistic" Lindberghs and their lost baby, as Communist papers have been doing ever since the kidnapping. She upholds Mooney and the convicted Scottsboro Negro rapists and says: "Lindbergh shaking hands with the czars of the underworld in the frantic effort to get back his 'chubby, golden-haired son' doesn't give a damn for the nine terrified little dark skinned Scottsboro lads . . . Lindbergh, the ideal of American boyhood, never made a move to see that Mother Mooney got her son back during the entire fifteen years of his legal kidnapping."

After Haessler's talk at the Ravinia Woman's Club, one of the "Red Ravinians" said to a friend of mine who has the honor, which I have not, of being a D. A. R. member; "I don't understand you D. A. R.'s at all. You are all for that old 1776 Revolution but against this new revolution." Communists delight in making it appear that our Revolutionary War for Independence and the second Russian, or Bolshevik, revolution, as well as the proposed international "Red" revolution, are all similar. They are not similar. Our Revolutionary War of 1776 was to establish only the right of this nation to govern itself. The first Russian revolution which overthrew the Czar in February, 1917, formed the Kerensky government, patterned somewhat after our own, and was a revolution concerning only Russia. The U. S. was the first nation to officially recognize the Kerensky government. But eight months later, in October, 1917, about 36,000 Russian Communist Bolsheviks overthrew the Kerensky government and proceeded to repudiate all national debts and set up a dictatorship over not at the "proletariat"

more autocratic than any Czar's. They confiscated all private property, murdered at least 3,000,000 persons of the upper classes and of those resisting dispossession. They abolished all religion, for Communists everywhere must not only be atheists themselves but also militantly anti-religious. They set up and financed, as part of the Soviet government, the Third International, whose purpose is (quoting U. S. Government Report 2290) "the stirring up of Communist activities in foreign countries in order to cause strikes, riots, sabotage, bloodshed and civil war . . . The ultimate and final objective is by means of world revolution to establish the dictatorship of the so-called proletariat into one world union of Soviet, Socialist Republics with the capital at Moscow."

Unicago.

Haessler is a committeeman of the American Civil Liberties Union, of which the U. S. Report (2290) says: "The A. C. L. U. is closely affiliated with the Communist movement in the U. S. and fully ninety per cent of its efforts are in behalf of Communists who have come into conflict with the law. It claims to stand for free speech, free press, and free assembly; but it is quite apparent that the main effort of the A. C. L. U. is to attempt to protect the Communists in their advocacy of force and violence to overthrow the Government, replacing the American flag by a red flag and erecting a Soviet government in place of the republican form of government . . . Roger Baldwin, its guiding spirit, makes no attempt to hide his friendship for the Communists and their principles." It was this same Roger Baldwin who recently threatened to sue Henry Ford for "countenancing the injury" of the Communist rioters at the Ford plant.

During the question period which followed Haessler's talk at the Ravinia Woman's Club, I asked a question which showed my antipathy for Haessler's proposed revolution. The audience at once broke into a surging tumult of angry comment against me. Then, defying this hostility, I said: "Oh, you have been listening to the insidious propaganda of the voice of Moscow, whose government is attempting to overthrow our Government, etc. Just as in Russia, you would be the class first to be murdered in case of a revolution here. This meeting is an insult to a loyal American citizen!" Then, indeed, there was a near riot. The Club President (Mrs. Robt. L. Grinnell, wife of the President of the local school board) quieted the meeting momentarily by apologizing to Haessler. Most of the audience applauded this act vehemently. She then came to me, and to prominent members of patriotic organizations who were with me, to criticize and to demand by what right we were there. I was the invited guest of two members but I refused to divulge their names, feeling that they had been persecuted enough in Ravinia for their patriotic leanings. At Ravinia, once again, as in the Leavenworth Prison revolt, Haessler "led the majority almost without the knowledge of anybody but the leaders and their opponents."

This is a time when the entire world is feeling the unrest caused by the strikes, sabotage, and revolutionary activities of Communists in India, Germany, England, South America, New Zealand, America, and so on. Wealthy Americans are now losing their fortunes, aging with worry, and turning to despair and to suicide. Every American is feeling the economic pinch caused by deflation and by the Communist "plan of economic unstabilization" or "plan of world revolution." The person who joins Communists in accusing our capitalists of closing their factories and ruining themselves for the purpose of ruining the poor is either blind or willfully seditious. We do need the Jeffers and Bachmann Federal Bills for our protection, but when loyal fighting Americans unite in insisting that our elected officials enforce the Illinois statutes covering sedition, then organizations like the Ravinia Woman's Club, Y. M. C. A., and University of Chicago (a hotbed of similar speakers) will lose their taste for hiring men of Haessler's calibre to preach revolution to audiences who are also held responsible under these laws for

The Illinois Criminal Code (Chapter 38, Sections 558-564) provides a penalty of one to ten years in the penitentiary for advocating the overthrow of our Government by unlawful means, and a fine of \\$500 to \\$1,000 and imprisonment for six months to one year for knowingly attending a meeting

at which such overthrow is advocated.

by the police.

The Chicago police department granted a permit for a parade Sunday, December 17th, 1933, of loyal Ukrainian-Americans who, after a service in their church, wished to march to a hall to hold a meeting and raise funds to try to save their relatives in the Russian Ukraine, now being "liquidated"—deliberately starved to death—by the Soviet government. Even pro-Soviet news reporters estimate the deaths by such starvation during the last year as numbering in the millions, while the American Communist press maintains that such "liquidation" of bourgeois elements who object to Soviet tyranny and destruction of religion, must go on until Russia is a "pure" Communist state.

But only two policemen were with the 3,000 Ukrainian-American marchers at the time the Reds attacked them by first throwing Communist leaflets from above, then, as they looked up, throwing down bricks in their faces from an elevated station platform. Hundreds of Communists along the sidewalks simultaneously rushed in from both sides, and assaulted them with iron pipes, tools, brass knuckles, etc. They tore the American flag to pieces, and about 100 were injured. I personally saw many bandaged heads at the Ukrainian meeting which I addressed. Dr. Tarnawski received a severe leg injury and for some time was unable to walk. The communist Daily Worker reported the attack jubilantly as a Communist triumph.

two received thirty days in jail for this bloody attack!

When sixteen of us, including Mrs. Tarnawski, as a delegation representing various patriotic societies, called upon Chief of Police Allman the following Tuesday and laid the facts before him, I attempted to show him a copy of the "Red Front of U. S. A.," a Communist revolutionary military publication which boldly lists recruiting stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc. where Reds are urged to sign up for military training for just such attacks, and in order to give the police "their due" in strikes and riots, to "open food storage places," and says, "Any day may be the beginning of the revolutionary struggle" and that "the dashing to pieces of the whole apparatus of government is in the period of revolutionary uprising, thus easier to accomplish. The Chicago office, 101 S. Wells St., Room 707... meets at 2322 W. Chicago Avenue" (near where the attack occurred). Chief Allman

saying very coldly, "I am not interested."

While Chief Allman has been often praised by radicals and by the 1932 report of the Red-aiding Chicago Civil Liberties Committee for his "enlightened attitude" toward "civil liberties" for Communists, some of us are still interested in civil liberties for Americans, in the protection of the American flag, and the enforcement of the Illinois State sedition law. The attorney for the Ukrainian-Americans called upon the Federal authorities the same day and was told that they are no longer interested in Communist activities. Is anyone interested? Are you? What are you going to do about it?

(II Cor. 7:14) "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"

The sincere Christian pacifist, determined in spite of Biblical prophecy to immediately invoke Christ's final reign as Prince of Peace on earth by disarmament, buries his head in the sand like an ostrich, blindly ignoring the fact that those most dominant in influencing, financing, boring from within, if not actually controlling the great majority of pacifist societies are Socialists and Communists who appear in the clothing of sheep crying "Peace! Peace! when there is no peace" while they themselves, like ravening wolves, are agitating "class struggle," "class war," civil wars and bloody revolution.

might add

Jesus Christ, who so militantly fought sin and so tenderly sought to save sinners from the inescapable penalties of their sins, taught that "wars and rumors" of wars would continue, "for these things must first come to pass. And nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom" (St. Luke 21:10), until a final era of great tribulation and warfare against Christianity (such as Communism is preparing) would culminate in a mighty conflict ushering in His second coming and real reign as Prince of Peace. Throughout the Scriptures, it is foretold that one of the signs preceding that era would be the return of the Jews, scattered over the earth, to Palestine, their homeland.

(Daily Worker, Sept. 8, 1933).

That the "Pacifist" Fellowship of Reconciliation deliberately uses the name of Christ to propagandize communistic theories among Christians is shown in its release to members advising: "Position A. Keep Central and Typical the Reference to Jesus—Brief A. (1) To omit all reference to Jesus from our public statement of purpose or to make our reference to Him incidental, so that it might be inferred that the Fellowship began with central emphasis on the way of Jesus but has now substituted a wider basis, are positions both subject to the following objections: . . . The Fellowship would have less chance to influence churches and the Christian Student Movement and to secure their cooperation in spreading radical Christian views on war, economics, and race issues. . . . Many members might feel compelled to start a new organization to regain the advantages of the original unequivocal basis of the Fellowship for demonstrating 'left-wing' Christianity. (3) Much practical work of the Fellowship would be jeopardized. Hitherto our leadership and support have come mainly from Christian sources. These sources sepecially have made possible the extension of our work in Europe, Central America and Southern United States. If the leadership and support of them is seriously diminished what evidence is there that other pacifist groups can take over this work and carry it on?" . . . But stating our objective in terms of His type of love, has in addition to the advantages implied above such reasons as the following: (1) The unique fitness of Jesus of Galilee to be a world wide symbol of pacifism . . . the utter conflict between His way and the way of military preparedness and war," etc., etc.

But Jesus Christ was not a "left-wing" proponent of "radical views on war, economics and race issues." While teaching love and pity in the heart for enemy or sinner, He said (St. Luke 11:21-23): "When a man armed keepeth his palace his goods are in peace. But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth the spoils. He that is not with me scattereth against me." In St. Luke 22:35, He said: "When I sent you without purse, and scrip and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, nothing. (Verse 36): Then said he unto them But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. (Verse 38): and they said Lord behold here are two swords. And

Nor was He pacifistic in His denunciations of sin and hypocrisy, for when they came to Jerusalem "Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves; And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves." (St. Mark 11:15-17.)

I think of that when I see Communist posters on the bulletin boards of Christian Churches.

None of Christ's disciples taught a political revolution either in the name of Christ or of "social justice." But the traitorous or misguided Christians of today are doing so in teaching the "social gospel" of Socialist-Communist revolution for the sake of the political "new social order" of atheist Karl Marx. In warning against the false prophets that shall "deceive the very elect," Christ said: "For wheresoever the carcass is there will the eagles be gathered." So Christian pacifists today, dead to the realization that they are cooperating with Jesus Christ's crucifiers when they cooperate with Marxians for the "pacifism" of civil war, merely serve as the carcasses for these revolutionary eagles to feed upon.

How earnestly Christ asked his disciples three times in the Garden of Gethsemane to watch with Him and to pray lest they fall into temptation! But three times He came to find them sleeping. The last time, sadly, He said (Matt. 26:45): "Sleep on now and take your rest: behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners." Then Judas approached with those who were to crucify Him and betrayed Christ to them with a kiss. So again today with the kiss of supposed friendship for Christ the Judas "Christian" worker for atheist Socialism-Communism betrays our Lord within His own sanctuary to the Socialists-Communists who wait only for the power to destroy the Christian faith. It is as unsuitable to yoke Christianity to Socialism as it is to yoke Christianity to atheism or to yoke Christ's teaching of the indissolubility of marriage and the family unit to the Marxian teaching of "free love." The "class struggle" and "class war" of Karl Marx have nothing in common with "Love your neighbor as yourself" and frequent admonitions against coveting "anything that is his." Karl Marx very correctly stated, in respect to the success of his own teachings, that the Christian "Religion is the opium of the people." It deadens people to the call of the "Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth" to follow the Marxian way of hate and lust and class war. Instead, the teaching of the "Light of the World" offers them "The Way, the Truth and the Life" everlasting. Christians should read the Parable of the Talents on the unworthiness of doing nothing, and be sure that they are aligned on God's side in this conflict to "fight the good fight" against satan's "whited sepulchres," the Red pacifists.

# II. PACIFISM AND ITS RED AIDS

One might wonder why revolutionaries support Pacifism. That they do back Pacifism with good hard cash is shown by reading the Garland Fund Reports. One sees, for example, that the Fund's directors: Communists Wm. Z. Foster, Robt. W. Dunn, Scott Nearing, Eliz. Gurley Flynn, and Benj. Gitlow (the first American Communist sentenced during the war), and their close associates and fellow directors Socialist Norman Thomas, Harry Ward, Roger Baldwin, etc., voted large sums of money in successive years to Jane Addams' Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (see), which agitates against all R. O. T. C. and C. M. T. C. Camps, all military training and armament for the United States but advocated recognition of militaristic Russia and sweetly suggests abolition of property rights (Communism).

One is surprised that a "peace" leader like Miss Addams could serve with these same men for 10 years on the national committee of the American Civil Liberties Union, 90% of whose efforts are in defense of Communist revolutionaries, and not realize that their first plan is for bloody world revolution and not "peace." One may choose to believe either that Miss Addams was too dull to comprehend this, or that she believed a Communist revolution would aid peace eventually, or draw one's own personal conclusions.

In the 1925-28 Report, we see they voted: to the "Optional Military Drill League, Columbus, Ohio—for one half expense of campaign against compulsory military training, \\$250"; to the "Wyoming State Conference Methodist Church, Laramie, Wyo.—for publication of literature against compulsory military training, \\$300"; and to the "Committee on Militarism in Education, New York City (1) For preparation and distribution of pamphlet on 'Military Training in Schools and Colleges in the U. S.' \\$5,400 (2) Toward general budget, \\$5,000," and later another \\$2,000; at the same time voting to the Young Communist League at Superior, Wis., \\$2,000; another \\$2,400 to Jane Addams' W. I. L. P. F. and \\$6,122.10 to the communist Workers School of New York City, which trains leaders for violent Communist revolution on the United States. Are these gifts for contradictory purposes?

Pacifists frequently refer to Soviet Russia's disarmament proposal as a proof of its peaceful intentions. Maxim Litvinov, as Soviet "Peace Envoy," proposed to the League of Nations, in 1928, that all nations, including Russia, immediately and completely disarm. This Maxim Litvinov, who is Meyer Genoch Moisevitch Wallach (also alias Finklestein, Graf, Maximovitch, Buchmann, Harrison), "In 1908 was arrested in Paris in connection with the robbery of 250,000 rubles of Government money in Tiflis. . . . He was deported from France." The bomb thrown by Stalin in this robbery killed or injured fifty people. Litvinov's secretary Fineberg "saw to the distribution of his propaganda leaflets and articles. At the Leeds Conference, 2 June, 1917 (to hail the Russian Revolution to organize British Democracy to follow Russia, and establish Soviets to replace our Government), Litvinov was represented by Fineberg" (London Patriot, July 20, 1933). Litvinov was barred from England for his seditious activities; admitted back under Ramsay MacDonald's Red Socialist government. Interception of Litvinov's messages from Moscow caused the raid on Arcos, Ltd., and the severing of diplomatic relations between England and Russia (resumed again under Ramsay MacDonald).

Lord Cushendum, aware of the persistent and flagrant violation of Russia's Trade Agreement to cease revolutionary propaganda in England questioned Litvinov before the League of Nations, asking him whether his "peace" proposal of disarmament would include the cessation of Soviet government fomentation of civil war in all countries. To this Litvinov replied (N. Y. Herald Tribune, Mar. 23, 1928): "It had never occurred to us and we had no grounds for believing that the League intended to include under the ques-

The communist Daily Worker, in a thesis entitled "The Struggle Against Imperialist War and the Task of the Communists" (Jan. 3, 1929), emphasized the point that this Soviet disarmament proposal was in harmony with, not opposed to, the world revolutionary movement, saying: The aim of the Soviet proposal is not to spread pacifist illusions, but to destroy them, not to support capitalism by ignoring or toning down its shady sides but to propagate the fundamental Marxian postulate that disarmament and the abolition of war are possible only with the fall of capitalism. The difference between the methods of combating pacifism employed by the proletariat in the Soviet Union and those adopted by the working class in capitalist countries does not mean there is a contradiction between the two; nor does it follow that Communists in capitalist countries must not make use of the Soviet Government's declaration on disarmament in carrying on agitation among the masses. On the contrary the disarmament policy of the Soviet Government must be utilized for purpose of agitation much more energetically and to a wider extent than has been done hitherto . . . as a means (1) For recruiting sympathizers for the Soviet Union—the champion of peace and socialism; (2) For utilizing the results of the Soviet disarmament policy and its exposure of the imperialists in the effort to eradicate all pacifist illusions and to carry on propaganda among the masses in support of the only way toward disarmament and abolition of war, viz., arming of the proletariat, overthrowing the bourgeoisie and establishing the proletarian dictatorship."

as follows:

"What is true is true
We admit without hypocrisy
We carry on, and we will carry on agitation,
And we will prevail—rest assured!
In having all the world bury 'civilization'
Which is conceiving—wars!
I do not envy, Mister, your situation,
You have come to a fateful syllogism,
Communism leads to disarmament
Disarmament—to Communism."

When military training was added to the program of the Young Communist League the communist Daily Worker, (Aug. 6, 1928) explained:

"Our Leninist position on militarism and war is very clear and certain. We are NOT against war and against militarism as such. We are against IMPERIALIST war; we are against BOURGEOIS militarism (i. e. the militarization of the proletarian and farmer youth to fight in the interests of the bourgeoisie). But we are in favor of REVOLUTIONARY wars (wars of oppressed colonial peoples against the imperialist powers, civil wars of proletarian revolution); we are in favor of the military training of the proletarian youth to learn to use arms in the interests of their class and against the bourgeoisie. 'An oppressed class that does not strive to learn to use arms... deserves to remain in slavery.'—(Lenin.) We are therefore opposed to pacifism (which opposes, as a matter of principle All war and All military training).... Our main task of course is to prevent the young workers who are being militarized from becoming traitors to their class; it consists in winning them for the proletarian class struggle and getting them to use their training for the benefit of the workers and not against their own class... and this attitude is in no contradiction to—on the contrary it clearly falls in with our bitter and most determined struggle against new imperialist wars and bourgeois militarism.... We realize very well that under present conditions and for the next period of time, the chief way for us to obtain military instruction is in the military organizations of the bourgeoisie (regular forces, National Guard, military schools, R. O. T. C., C. M. T. C., etc.); of course, as Comrade Gorki points out (Jugend Internationale, May, 1928) the sending of our comrades into these bourgeois military institutions 'implies no rejection whatever of the attempt to set up a class organization of the proletariat to provide military training for young workers.'"

29, 1933 Daily Worker.)

This editorial said: "The Communist Party urges upon the Congress a real united front on the basis of a fighting program against war—a revolutionary working class program... Serious systematic work must be undertaken in every factory, on every dock, on every ship, arousing these workers against war, exposing every detail of the war preparations for them, setting up Anti-war committees, hampering and working to prevent the manufacture and shipment of war material and munitions... Phrase mongering, empty peace talk—this is not the road. Mass action behind a revolutionary program is the road the congress should follow, starting now against the N. R. A. All the honest elements, all persons and organizations ready to fight can unite behind such a program."

# SOCIALIST PARTY (AND THE NEW DEAL)

Because the Socialist Party generally favors the taking over of the government first by legislative means, relying on a throat-cutting revolution principally as a finishing touch when it becomes necessary, it is called "yellow" by the Communist Party and "practical" by its followers. Chameleon-like, the Socialist agitator colors himself to fit the group he is addressing, appearing as a delicate-pink, "Christian" social reformer in Churches, and as a throat-cutting capitalist-hating revolutionary and a genuine Marxian atheist in militant labor circles. Since 1912 the Socialist Party has achieved practically its entire 1912 platform, passing hundreds of socialistic laws and "stealing" regular party elections by electing Socialists as regular party candidates, until now in 1933 the entire Socialist Party rejoices at the socialistic New Deal and radical "Roosevelt Appointees" (see).

Under the heading "Longuet Urges All Socialists to Support N. R. A.," the Chicago Daily News, Sept. 15, 1933 reported: "Jean Longuet, French Socialist leader and grandson of the founder of socialism, Karl Marx, declares today in the French socialist organ Populaire that socialists everywhere should approve President Roosevelt's program because it is rapidly trade-unionizing the United States." Without more extensive unionization than America has ever had the Reds believe a general strike would be unsuccessful. Communists, anarchists and I. W. W.'s have always advocated the general strike as the prelude to revolution. Most revolutions are preceded by the general strike. The English general strike, altho planned to result in Red revolution, failed. The Daily News, Sept. 21, 1933 quotes Clarence Senior just home from the Second Internationale conference in Paris as saying: "For the first time in its history the Socialist and Labor internationale indorsed the general strike as a means of thwarting an outbreak of war." (Or turning war into revolution.)

Norman Thomas writing in the socialist New Leader, Aug. 19, 1933 issue

says: "The Roosevelt program has achieved certain things... these things do not constitute Socialism but State capitalism, although a kind of State capitalism unquestionably influenced by Socialist influence and agitation.... The great hope of the New Deal is that it may make it a little easier... to advance toward a truly Socialist society." Says the Socialist "World Tomorrow" (Aug. 31, 1933 issue): "When the aims of the Ickes-Perkins-Richberg forces at the Capital are compared to those of the previous Administration, the change is indeed breath-taking. Most of the pet nostrums progressives have advocated throughout the last two decades are now being tried on a huge scale at Washington. To consider the formation of a new party at such a time, a party that seeks to fit in between Rooseveltian liberalism and that of the Socialist Party of America seems to us the sheer madness... Whatever the weaknesses of the Socialist Party in the past or in the present, it has been making gigantic strides in the right direction."

other of disrupting the Socialist-Communist movement.

Norman Thomas is one of the "militant" members of the National Executive Committee (N. E. C.) of the Socialist Party who voted in 1933 for an immediate "united front" with the Communist Party, according to the May, 1933 issue of "The Communist" (p. 428), which states that of the N. E. C. members Norman Thomas, Albert Sprague Coolidge, Powers Hapgood, Darlington Hoopes, and Leo M. Krzycki voted for immediate formal cooperation with the Communist Party, while Morris Hillquit, James D. Graham, Daniel W. Hoan, Jasper McLevy, John L. Packard and Lilith M. Wilson, the "old guard," voted to wait for action by the two Internationals. The vote evidently went by a very close margin, 6 to 5, against immediate formal cooperation. So, April 17, 1933, Clarence Senior, exec. sec. of the Socialist Party, sent the following reply to the Communist Party which was printed in "The Communist" (same issue): "'The national executive committee has voted to comply with the request of the Labor and Socialist International not to enter into united front negotiations with national sections of the Communist International until the L. S. I. and the Comintern have reached an agreement for an international united front.' (quoted in full—C. A. H.)" (Clarence A. Hathaway.)

The Socialist Party's New Leader, Apr. 8, 1933, stated: "In answer to a request by a committee of the Communist Party for a so-called 'united front' against fascism, the Conference stated that it lacked authority from any of its national and international parent bodies to unite with a party which, while making gestures in the direction of a united front, has since its incep-

down the strength of labor.' "

"But Norman Thomas puts the case for the 'militants' most clearly," says "The Communist" (May 1933), and reprints Thomas' letter, which was sent out by the Socialist Party N. E. C., in which Thomas says (the voting was by mail): "I am voting Yes on Comrade Krzycki's motion for the appointment of a sub-committee to discuss with the sub-committee of the Communist Party the question of united front. I cannot too strongly urge the adoption of this proposal. I have recently been traveling rather extensively in New England and elsewhere and know that in our own Party and outside of it we shall suffer very considerable harm if we can be made to appear to be blocking any kind of united front action. Frankly, I am skeptical whether the Communists will undertake united action on honorable terms. But for the sake of our own members, especially our younger people, it must be made obvious that it is they who sabotage the united front, not we who disdainfully reject it," etc. "The Communist" adds that the united front proposal "requires more than here and there a joint meeting or now and then a joint conference." Socialists and Communists have had these all along.

Morris Hillquit, speaking as a Socialist Party leader Sept. 25, 1920 (Lusk Report p. 1789), said of this supposed "change": "We have never at any time changed our creed. Never certainly to make ourselves acceptable to any capitalist crowd.... As international Socialists we are revolutionary, and let it be clearly understood that we are out to overthrow the entire capitalist

of Soviet Socialist Republics (U. S. S. R.) It is held up as the example of Socialism in action. Leaders of both Communist and Socialist Parties state that their principles and aims are identical but that they differ as to choice

of leadership and tactics.

The Preamble to the Socialist Party Constitution adopted in 1919 says: "The Socialist party seeks to organize the working class for independent action on the political field not merely for the betterment of their condition, but also and above all with the revolutionary aim of putting an end to the

exploitation or class rule."

When the U. S. declared war, the Socialist Party convention at St. Louis, April 7-14, 1917, adopted a lengthy disloyal resolution favoring seditious activities, saying: "The Socialist Party of the U. S. in the present grave crisis solemnly declares its allegiance to the principles of internationalism and working class solidarity the world over, and proclaims its unalterable opposition to the war just declared by the government of the United States... As against the false doctrine of national patriotism, we uphold the idea of international working class solidarity. We brand the declaration of war by our government as a crime." (The U. S. Govt. was finally forced to jail many Socialists whose seditious activities were camouflaged as "peace" work.) "The acute situation created by the war calls for an even more vigorous prosecution of the class struggle and we recommend to the workers and pledge ourselves to the following course of action: Continuous and active public opposition to the war through demonstrations, mass petitions and all other means in our power. Unyielding opposition to all proposed legislation for military or industrial conscription. . . . Vigorous resistance to all reactional measures such as censorship of the press and mails, restriction of the right of free speech, assemblage and organization, or compulsory arbitration and limitation of the right to strike. Consistent propaganda against military training and militaristic teaching in the public schools. . . . We recommend the National Executive Committee extend and improve propaganda among women." One delegate is reported to have said "If I knew we could sway the boys when they got guns to use them against the capitalist class I would be for universal training."

militant bloody Soviet Russia, etc.

The New York Call, June 28, 1921, printed the following Resolution, passed by the Socialist Party, which was offered by Morris Hillquit: "Resolved that the incoming national executive committee be instructed to make a careful survey of all radical and labor organizations in the country with the view of ascertaining their strengths, disposition and readiness to cooperate with the Socialist Movement upon a platform not inconsistent with that of the party, and on a plan which will preserve the integrity and autonomy of the Socialist Party." This was headed "Text of Hillquit Resolution that Ends Isolation of Socialist Party." With this, the "boring from within" other

The average brainy American business man, whose capable concentrated efforts have raised the American standard of living to a preeminent place in the world's history, feels that he is too busy running his own business to bother with politics. He wants "George" to do it and a Red "George" has been working to do "it" and do him out of his business for a long time.

Only, perhaps, when Red George and his political cronies step in to cometely run his business for him will he awaken to find time to attend to

officials will be radicals of the same stripe?

Many of the radicals now making this Democratic administration a Socialist one only left the Republican Party during the last campaign at the invitation of Mr. Roosevelt, their kindred soul. While the radicals have a keenly organized, well planned program, American conservatives have practically none. If they wait until election day, they may find themselves in the predicament of having a choice between Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee, between Socialists, Communists, Democratic-Socialists, or Republican-Socialists, because the radicals are also active within both conservative parties and "practical", short-sighted politicians seem to believe that by compromising with them and pampering them they are increasing the Party's hopes of success. "Marx versus Washington" will be the real issue in the next election, and this issue transcends former partisanship. If the fight were clear-cut, Americanism would win with the people hands down, but a fight with radicals is a fight with snipers. They do not fly their true colors willingly.

As Communist V. F. Calverton says in "Recovery Through Revolution" (see): . . . "what with the state practically supporting and subsidizing the industrial and financial set-up of the nation by means of monies afforded by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, in time, if such subsidies continue, and the railroads and industries which have accepted them cannot meet the obligations that they necessitate, there will be no other recourse than for the State to take them over." (Our "peaceful revolution.")

Wm. E. Sweet, whom the Conference for Progressive Political Action claimed credit for electing Governor of Colorado (See "Who's Who"), is one of Pres. Roosevelt's radical appointees in the Public Relations Division of the N. R. A. He was very prompt in having published in the Daily News, Oct. 30, 1933, his protest against a "white" Daily News editorial of Oct. 26. His was a lengthy letter sent from Washington, D. C., in which he said: "The editorial 'Back to the Constitution' printed on the front page of the Daily News, Oct. 26, would be highly important if it voiced the sentiments of any considerable inarticulate body of citizens as the Daily News seems to think it does. . . . Has the time come in America when a man may not do as he pleases with his oil? It has. But this is clearly unconstitutional. . . . The Constitution was based on security and privilege for the owners of property, but this is no reason for confusing it with holy writ. . . . If these revolutionary changes in our economic system work out satisfactorily, they will be found to be constitutional. . . . When former Pres. Hoover made his concluding speech in Madison Square Garden he said: "This campaign is more than a contest between two parties, it is more than a contest between two men, it is a contest between two fundamentally different theories of government.' Mr. Hoover rightly appraised the issues of the campaign. The people have placed their seal of approval for the present on the theory of government advanced by Franklin D. Roosevelt and they are following his leadership with loud acclaim. As yet there is no sign of any diminution in his popularity." (?)

"The radicals you complain of have been chosen by the President. He may not agree with all their theories but he would rather have their counsel, noise and all, than that of the *traditionalists*, 'money changers,' and reactionaries who surrounded and dominated his predecessor. Wm. E. Sweet, Wash-

ington, D. C."

Senator Warren R. Austin of Vermont said, (Sept. 18, 1933, Chgo. American): "Only one step further need be taken to destroy the Constitution and overthrow the government, namely, to remold the judiciary." And Senator Henry D. Hatfield of W. Va. declared, (Chgo. Tribune, Oct. 20, 1933): "President Roosevelt's executive order threatening N. R. A. violators with \\$500 fines and six months' imprisonment means that economic serfdom has become a grim reality in the United States."

# "TOWARD PACIFIC REVOLUTION

"The five-to-four decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Minnesota mortgage moratorium case enormously increases the possibility of revolution in this country without another civil war. If the principles enunciated therein are incorporated in forthcoming decisions, the NRA, the AAA and other aspects of the New Deal are likely to be upheld. In this event the creditor and property-owning class will lose billions and billions of dollars. The validation of recent state and national legislation by the Supreme Court will result in the redistribution of wealth on an almost unimaginably colossal scale.

"The law under review authorized owners, when about to lose their property through foreclosure, to apply in court for a two-year extension of time in which to redeem their holdings. The invalidating decree of the district court was reversed by the Minnesota Supreme Court, and the latter's decision was upheld at Washington." (Chief Justice Hughes and Justices Brandeis, Cardozo, Roberts, and Stone \[radicals, three of whom were appointed by Pres. Hoover\], against Justices Butler, McReynolds,

Sutherland, and Van Devanter \[Constitutionalists\].

"Pacifists who are struggling for radical changes in the present social order have reason to be encouraged by the Court's decision in the Minnesota case. Once more it has been demonstrated that the Supreme Court tends to follow public opinion. Progress has often been slowed down, but the highest tribunal of the land is not likely to become a permanent barrier to revolutionary change. As a last resort its powers may be shorn or its decision changed by increasing the size of the Court and the appointment of new Justices who are in sympathy with radical legislation."

In passing, it should be noted that Pres. Roosevelt's "first assistant," Secy. Ickes, served on the National Campaign Executive Committee when

Chief Justice Hughes ran for President in 1916.

but correlated under a general economic plan.

"We can scarcely have experts plan for us unless we own the things which are vital to this plan. We must acquire rapidly our banking system, our coal, oil, electric power and railroads. Speedily we must add other natural resources and basic industries and utilities. We should socialize marketing machinery of what farmers buy and sell. The milk situation, for instance, cannot be solved without socially owned milk distributing companies in place of the present trusts. Taxation of incomes and inheritances in a transitional period should meet most costs of government, though the land values tax can and should be used to end private landlordism. A capital levy must be employed to help reduce debt, care for the unemployed, and facilitate the transfer of the industries to be socialized. In general, under present conditions, compensation for socialized industries—usually in notes or bonds of these industries—plus such taxation as I have outlined is likely to prove more equitable and practicable than piecemeal confiscation. For the immediate present we need a far bolder plan of unemployment relief and public works, including housing. Such a program plus social insurance will aid not only in terms of social justice but in economic recovery by its help in redistributing national income a little more equitably.

"These paradoxes and many others are held inevitable in a government which almost overnight has essayed to control farming, industry, finance and transportation, which is starting to spend three billions of public moneys for a thousand and one widely diversified projects, most of which are leading the government into endeavors to paternalism, government-in-business and

The Chicago Tribune of Sept. 16, 1933 says: "In the rate structure announced by David E. Lilienthal, director of the Tennessee experiment in charge of power, there is no provision for repaying to the federal treasury a net loss of \\$43,590,619 which the hydro-electric power plant at Muscle Shoals already has cost the tax payer. Besides waiving past expenditures as money already 'gone over the dam,' Director Lilienthal has computed his rates which undersell existing commercial companies by 75 percent on a quasi-socialistic basis . . . by disregarding the original investment, making no provision for profits, avoiding taxes and computing interest at the low rate available to the government, the Muscle Shoals officials have given themselves a 75 percent advantage in rates over commercial companies . . . These rate schedules . . . are being held up as models to commercial companies which have to meet all these costs."

Radicals Should Support the New Deal" (see "Who's Who").

The communist Daily Worker, Oct. 6, 1933, under the heading "A Socialist Invitation," said: "Yesterday Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States, was invited to join the Socialist Party.... Over ten thousand New York workers heard Abraham Cahan, one of the oldest leaders of the Socialist Party, and editor of the Socialist paper, the 'Forward,' invite him in. Here are his actual words set down for every worker to see: "The NRA has been handled in a democratic way, and the President has earned the gratitude of every thinking man in the country . . . on the basis of his work so far he really should be a Socialist.' On one side of Cahan sat Norman Thomas. On the other sat the Tammany Police Chief. . . . This was the setting for the invitation to Roosevelt to join the party of Eugene Victor Debs. Thomas seconded the invitation—with the typical Thomas reservations. Thus the Thomas 'left-wing' and the Hillquit-Cahan 'right-wing' of the Socialist Party joined hands. . . . Cahan's invitation is only the logical culmination of the congratulatory visit that Thomas and Hillquit paid Roosevelt at the White House in April. The Socialist leaders have looked Roosevelt over. And they find him good. . . Cahan sees in Roosevelt a fellow-socialist. He is right. They are both socialists—of the same calibre. Of the calibre of Hindenburg, the fascist butcher." (Pres. Roosevelt sent his condolences to Mrs. Morris Hillquit when Hillquit died recently.)

Communist Party is the "pure goods".

Why this continual horse play between Red parties with identical principles and objectives? Were it entirely due to bitter Party rivalry and jeal-ousy the Party leaders would not be on the close friendly terms that they are. The Garland Fund illustrates their chummy interlocking cooperation. The "hymn of hate" publicity policy is undoubtedly mutually understood. It helps to keep the rank and file members in separate camps, gives the disgruntled Red another place to go to help the movement, spurs members on to rivalry, confuses and ensnares some of the bourgeoisie into believing Socialism different from Communism, and enables the Parties, like two flanks of an army, to carry on separate, even apparently hostile, coordinated Red movements—one penetrating the other agitating

creating, and is agitating rabid hatred against the NRA "slave regime," and, with hundreds of violent strikes to its credit already within the past few months, hopes with increasing strikes to finally bring on a psychological moment of chaos and despair, in which that taut leash of legalism may be broken by a united front General Strike culminating in Red seizure of power. Then would Socialists and Communists hold this power together, and with violence. For, as Socialist Norman Thomas says in "Why I am a Socialist" (p. 11): "Socialists are not non-resistants. We want to minimize violence and place the onus of it when it comes where it belongs: On an owning class that will not give up while it can hypnotize anyone to fight in its behalf."

Concerning the "General Strike" (the I. W. W. specialty), the Communist International, May 25, 1928, stated: "The task of the party (Communist) is to lead the working class into the revolutionary struggle for power. When the revolutionary tide is flowing, when the dominant classes are disorganized... and the masses are prepared for action and for sacrifice, the task of the party is to lead the masses into the direct attack upon the bourgeois state. This is to be achieved by propaganda in favor of all transition slogans... to which all other branches of party work must be subordinated. This includes strikes, strikes combined with demonstration, the combination of armed demonstrations and strikes, and finally the General Strike conjointly with the armed uprising against the political party of the bourgeoisie. This struggle must be subjected to the rules of military art; it must be conducted according to a plan of war and in the form of a military offensive.... Communists do not think it necessary to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their goal can be achieved only by the violent overthrow of the whole of the present social system." Both the Russian and the Cuban Red revolutions were preceded by a "General Strike".

In the communist Daily Worker, Oct. 21, 1933, appears the headline "Roosevelt Invites Soviet Envoy, U. S. S. R. Decides to Send Litvinov," and an editorial saying: "The chief conflict in the present-day world is between the system of advancing Socialism and of decaying world capitalism.... The United States is now forced to step aside from its traditional policy of non-recognition and undertake diplomatic negotiations with the workers' fatherland.... The Roosevelt regime now grasps for this market." Other captions are typical of Communist opposition to NRA and include: "New Revolt Looms As Miners Sense Deception of NRA"; "NRA Cuts Wages at Sheffield Steel Mills"; "Farms Rise in Strike Against NRA"—this last over the gloating announcement that "Government officials are unable to conceal their alarm at the unusual depth and prevalence of the farmers' bitterness against the Roosevelt regime"; and announcement that the next convention of the National Farmers Committee of Action would take place under Communist auspices Nov. 15-18 in Chicago (to stir up further strikes).

Page 4 (same issue) is entirely devoted to the speech of the Communist Party general secretary, Earl Browder, before the Central Committee of the C. P. U. S. A., in which he said: "We point out the increased and more effective participation in strikes" (against NRA); and, after covering the communist Anti-War Congresses and other Party activities, he terminated with

this advice: "An essential part of the whole propaganda of the revolutionary solution of the crisis, the proletarian dictatorship, is the example of the successful revolution and building of socialism in the Soviet Union. . . . A large number of our leading comrades in many districts who think they can get a larger number of workers to join the Party by talking to them only about the immediate demands, and who soft-pedal the ultimate program of our Party in order to be popular, are making a big mistake. Precisely this line is what keeps workers out of the Party, because it doesn't give them the essential reason why the Party is necessary and why they must join . . . it is essential to bring forward the revolutionary program, the revolutionary character of our Party, to propagandize the revolutionary way out of the crisis, the problem of seizure of power, the problem of building socialism in America as a problem of the next future of the United States."

"We do not only live in one State but in a system of States, and the existence of the Soviet Republic side by side with the imperialist States is inconceivable for any considerable length of time. Eventually, one or the other must win." (Emphasis in original), with the following comment: "The Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Communist International, under the leadership of Comrade Stalin, have worked untiringly for the realization of this bequest. To win over the workers and peasants of the imperialist powers, . . . to obtain the sympathy of the petty-bourgeoisie and the intellectual middle class, to utilize the imperialist antagonisms in the interest of Socialist construction and the extension of peace, of the breathing space—this has been, and still is, the meaning of the policy of the Soviet Union . . . because the peace policy of the Soviet Union was linked up with the realization of the First Five Year Plan, and the beginning of the realization and carrying out of the Second Five Year Plan."

The "breathing space" is the Communist term for Russia's present period of preparation. Propaganda abroad and industrialization in the U. S. S. R. must both be supported in order that the Red Army's millions, now training, may be supported when they step forth to fulfill their promise to the "Workers of the World" to aid them in overthrowing such capitalist governments as have not by that time already been overthrown by means of revolutions inspired by Red propaganda. Communists everywhere confidently hope that if sufficient credits can be secured from capitalist governments—particularly from rich Uncle Sam—to aid in this preparation, that the end of the Second Five Year Plan will find Russia able to support its Red Army in the field.

"Long live the American proletariat! Long live the Communist International, the general staff of the World Proletarian Revolution," says the Daily Worker in the column adjoining Stalin's article, while Rooseveltian

slave-made Soviet products (1934) has been lifted!

Communist leaders long ago said that capitalists would commit suicide for the sake of temporary profits (on paper). American patriotic societies, I know, have flooded Pres. Roosevelt with information concerning the oneness of the Soviet Government and Third International which spreads sedition in the U. S. A. for the purpose of overthrowing this government and setting up a Socialist Soviet one. The U. S. S. R. has "cried" for recognition, as a baby cries for a bottle. It needs credits for industrialization and the subsidization of world revolutionary propaganda. It wants above all else this freedom in America, world prestige, and money to strengthen itself for our assassination, all of which recognition will give.

socialist statesman plays it?

The Literary Digest, Nov. 4, 1933, quotes the editor of "L'Echo de Paris" as stating: "'Doubtless Roosevelt was influenced by members of the "brain trust" and by intellectual snobs who believe that Communism would be a diverting experiment.'" It must be assuring to our capitalistic Reds to read that Litvinov, the proletarians' spokesman, sailed for America occupying the Royal Suite on the Berengaria.

was favorable." It would be, as Pres. Roosevelt must have known.

Bullitt, Roosevelt appointee as special adviser of the State Department, and now as Ambassador to the U. S. S. R., was, until recently, married to Louise Bryant Reed, widow of John Reed, a founder of the American Communist Party. Louise Bryant and Lincoln Steffens of the Anarchist-Communist group sent a joint telegram, quoted in the Lusk Report, asking Lenin and Trotsky to appoint a man in America with whom they could cooperate in aiding the Russian revolution. After this, Bullitt and Lincoln Steffens went over on a confidential mission to Russia. To quote magazine "Time" of May 1, 1933: "Wm. C. Bullitt went to Sweden on Henry Ford's Peace Ship in 1915. . . . In Feb., 1919, Diplomat Bullitt, with Journalist Lincoln Steffens, was entrusted with a confidential mission to Russia to make peace terms with the Soviet. . . . Mr. Bullitt spent a week in Moscow and came to terms with Dictator Lenin. On his return to Paris his peace proposal, involving recognition of the Bolshevist regime was suddenly tossed into the waste basket by Messrs. Wilson and Lloyd George. . . . He impulsively resigned from the Peace Commission after Pres. Wilson refused to give him an audience. An admirer of Lenin, he predicted that the Reds would oversweep all Europe.

Paul Mallon states in the Daily News of Sept. 13, 1933: "The Communists used to have no shoulder on which to weep in Washington. They have one now. It's Louis Howe's." (Roosevelt's secretary.) "A Washington detective tried to cross-question several well-known Reds a few days ago. 'We don't want to talk to you' they said. 'We are going to see Howe.'—They got in. Howe is also credited with the appointment of two former leaders of the bonus army to the department of justice. What they do is not generally known in the department, but they are on the payroll." The bonus army was Communist-led. Einstein, barred as a Communist from Germany, in Jan., 1934 was an over night guest of the President at the White House.

Under the heading "An Alarming Appointment," Francis Ralston Welsh reports: "In 'Science' for Sept. 6, 1933 is the following notice: 'Prof. Vladimir Karapetoff, of the department of electrical engineering of Cornell University, has been appointed Lieutenant Commander in the Naval Reserve and has been assigned to the Volunteer Naval Reserve for engineering duties.'" Karapetoff is and has been vice president of the League for Industrial Democracy, the left-wing Socialist organization spreading Socialist and Communist propagands in schools and colleges. To quote Mr. Welsh:

"Appointee Karapetoff should be kept under closest scrutiny."

Under the heading "A Shameless Appointment," Mr. Welsh reports the appointment of Frederic Clemson Howe as chairman of the Consumers' Board of AAA. When Mr. Welsh brought about an investigation of Howe's activities when Howe was Commissioner of Immigration at the Port of New York, Howe resigned, but the Congressional investigation brought out letters showing Howe's close connection with Emma Goldman, Eliz. Gurley Flynn and other Anarchists and Communists and his aid to their cause. "Byron H. Uhl testified that he had issued orders to the Ellis Island officials to stop the circulation of radical literature among inmates of Ellis Island, but that this order was held up under Howe's regime and the circulating of I. W. W. and Anarchist literature permitted. Howe was shown also to have held up deportation proceedings against the Reds brought to Ellis Island and that various Reds were released without giving bail and permitted to travel about the country continuing their Anarchist and Communist work. The proceedings of the committee were reported at the time in the 'New York Times'. Just before Howe resigned as Commissioner, information came to me that he had been tipped off that there would be a Congressional investigation. This information came from inside the Berkman anarchist gang. From whence they got it is not disclosed." (Welsh) (See also "Who's Who").

"Miss" Perkins, who is the mother of Mr. Paul Wilson's daughter, follows the custom popular with Red married ladies who refuse to acknowledge the 'private ownership" of marriage and show that they "wear no man's collar" by refusing to use a husband's name. The cry of the Socialists and Communists had long been "Down with Deportation Doak". Secy. Doak utilized

Yet, because the smokescreen must ever be kept before the public, the Daily Worker of Oct. 5, 1933 actually "razzes" Secy. Perkins; to quote: "The lady, Miss Perkins, whom the wily Roosevelt chose as the liberal window-dressing for his cabinet"... "claims to have 'liberalized' the immigration regulations regarding the admittance of foreign visitors to the United States. The hypocrisy of her claims can find no better proof than the *delay* in granting Tom Mann's visa... Mann's visa was not granted by the American Consul in London until too late for him to attend the U. S. Congress Against War"; and again, slightingly, the Daily Worker of Oct. 18, 1933 refers to "Miss" Perkins as a former member of the Socialist Party. She was an executive and fellow worker with Mrs. Roosevelt in the New York National Consumers League.

of the great seal of the United States?"

The Daily Worker, Sept. 8, 1933, found it necessary to take Communist Theodore Dreiser to task for not following the Party line of attack on NRA saying: "Theodore Dreiser has come out with a statement of his conversion to NRA on the grounds that the New Deal comes to us direct from Moscow."

Rexford Guy Tugwell (see "Who's Who"), whose radical speech on doing away with private business entirely is quoted under "National Religion and Labor Foundation," said in Chicago, Oct. 29, 1933: "We are passing through a fairly sensible mass revolution," to which the Chgo. Daily News replied with a great editorial, Nov. 1, 1933, headed "Did You Vote for Revolution?" He is Pres. Roosevelt's Assistant "Commissar" of Agriculture and one of the principle spokesmen for the administration.

To quote Cong. Hamilton Fish's speech before the House of Representatives, May 2, 1933: "Mordecai Ezekiel, Economic Adviser to the Secretary of Agriculture, is a real shadow of Prof. Tugwell so far as the Russian farm plan is concerned. He appears to be the Professor Einstein of the administration and carefully elaborates the working of the 'new deal' to Congress by the use of logarithms, letting a hog equal X, the squeal equal Y, and the price equal Z. If it works out 'everything will be all right'. Prof. Ezekiel has visited Russia, where he made a considerable study of the Gosplan... Here is a clipping from the greatest propagandist of Soviet Russia in the world, a

writer for the N. Y. Times, Mr. Walter Duranty, who says that after 15 years the agricultural plan in Russia has failed... The heading of this article in the N. Y. Times is 'All Russia suffers shortage of food, supplies dwindle, two-thirds of people are not expected to get sufficient allowances for winter; crops below 1930; live stock reduced more than 50 percent from 5 years ago, with fodder lacking; new plans dropped'. These are the agricultural plans that were commended by Mr. Tugwell and probably are the plans now being suggested or copied from Soviet Russia in the pending farm bill. If its purpose is to reduce production of farm products, as has happened in Soviet Russia, then this farm bill ought to succeed at least in that respect, although that was not the intention of the framers of the Soviet Gosplan in Russia.

should Russians have all the fun of remaking a world?"

was packed with Reds who cheered Brookhart and hissed Fish.

Among other radical Roosevelt appointees is Robert M.

Among other radical Roosevelt appointees is Robert M. Hutchins, self assured young president of the University of Chicago, under whose administration the U. of C. has become a hotbed for Communist propaganda. The Student Congress Against War with Scott Nearing and Earl Browder of the Communist Party as speakers, mass meetings with Wm. Z. Foster, Carl Haessler, and others, advocating overthrow of our government in defiance of the Illinois sedition law, are not only held in University auditoriums, but the communist National Student League is an officially recognized U. of C. student activity. Hutchins, accompanied by Victor Olander of the Illinois Federation of Labor, Pres. Walter Dill Scott of N. U., etc., opposed me in testifying before the Illinois Legislative hearing at Springfield on the Baker Bills, aimed at curbing sedition in colleges. Jane Addams opposed me at the second Chicago hearing. I was in the unique position at Springfield, at Senator Baker's invitation, of being the only person to testify in favor of curbing sedition. The presidents of St. Viator's College, and Northwestern and Chicago Universities were pitted against me, with Mrs. Ickes, wife of Secy. Harold L. Ickes, leading Roosevelt appointee, applauding on the sidelines the remarks of the opponents of the sedition bills.

allowed on the ballot of the State of Illinois (and a scandal that it is true!), and that he taught Marxism and Leninism himself. Hutchins heads the Chicago Mediation Board of NRA. Jane Addams was invited to serve also but declined, but Victor Olander, his ally at the Springfield Hearing, serves under him, as does James Mullenbach (see "Who's Who") and John Fitzpatrick (appointed through Leo Wolman), president of the Chicago Federation of Labor and a member of the Chicago Committee for Struggle Against War, which put over the huge Communist mass meeting I attended Oct. 23, 1933 in honor of Communist Henri Barbusse. Only the Red flag was displayed and the Internationale sung, and Revolution was cheered. Fitzpatrick's committee were seated on the stage and a Communist pamphlet sold at the meeting stated that Fitzpatrick had been asked to address the meeting but had not dared do so as a representative of the A. F. of L.

According to the Daily Worker of March 19, 1934, Sen. Brookhart praised Soviet agriculture at the New School for Social Research (Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt was on its Advisory Board, 1931) and said similar collectivisation could be achieved here by means of his Bill. To quote: "'My Bill is the revolution. A couple of Bills like that and there would be no more Wall Street!' Brookhart suggested that the audience read Stalin's speech on agriculture mimeographed copies of which he distributed free."

Consumers League and National Women's Trade Union League).

Paul Douglas left his work at the U. of Chicago to go to Washington as Roosevelt's Adviser to NRA. His radical record (see "Who's Who") is lengthy. Sam Hammersmark, the head of the Chicago Communist Book Store at 2019 W. Division St. and a Communist Party district executive, knows him well enough to call him "Paul". A columnist quoted Douglas, commenting on the present change in administration, as saying: "And to think but a short time ago we were called radicals!" He left his wife and children in recent years and married the daughter of Lorado Taft, the sculptor. Taft now serves on the Red "Chicago Committee for Struggle Against War".

Germany. How Hitler must love that:

Harold L. Ickes, radical "Republican," is Roosevelt's Secretary of the Interior. He owns a gorgeous Winnetka, Ill. estate and has been active in "reform" politics for many years. He is held up as the model "honest" politician. He is in Paul Douglas' utilities-baiting, socialist Utility Consumers and Investors League and is either a member of or contributor to the A. C. L. U. His wife, a member of the Illinois Legislature, is said to be an ardent pacifist.

Henry Wallace, the radical Roosevelt Secretary of Agriculture, was a member of the Nat. Citizens Committee on Relations with Latin America and Nat. Save Our Schools Com.

Sophonisba P. Breckenridge and Anne Guthrie (see "Who's Who") were U. S. delegates to the Pan-American Conference, Nov., 1933, with the official party.

If McKee, 1933 candidate for Mayor of New York, was, as he claimed, a Roosevelt man, and the accounts in the Daily Worker of Sept. 13, 15, 17, 1933 concerning Pres. Roosevelt's aid to La Guardia are correct, then the non-Tammany voter indeed had a Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee choice between Rooseveltian candidates. To quote the Daily Worker; "Wm. J. Schiefflin, known as the founder of the Fusion movement, is a wily demagogue who has considerable distinction among capitalist politicians. On May 17, 1931 Schiefflin paid verbal tribute to Norman Thomas. He said that Thomas was 'a man excellently capable and fitted for the office of Mayor. . . . But in the Fusion fight Schiefflin feared that Thomas might handicap his capitalist political wing through his Socialist tag." And then: "By Aug. 2" (1933) "the whole Fusion movement seemed to be at the point of collapse. It was then that Roosevelt's personal advisor was rushed upon the scene to save the day. Adolph A. Berle, Jr., a member of Roosevelt's so-called 'brain trust,' went into hurried conference. Another such gathering was called the following night and it was at this session that La Guardia was chosen as standard bearer. Since that time Roosevelt's personal advisor has helped La Guardia to draft the City Fusion Party platform. . . . Fusion's standard bearer is a former Republican, a former Socialist, a former Progressive, a former well paid advisor of the Tammany administration" (legal services in 1923). "In the following autumn" (1924) "he entered the race for Congress on the Socialist ticket. . . . As a Socialist La Guardia had often expressed his opposition to war . . . ," etc.

"The safety of the country rests on the provision it makes for adult education George F. Zook, United States Commissioner of Education, declared today before the Adult Educational Council of Chicago" (Chgo. Daily News, Oct. 20, 1933). (The Adult Educational Council provides Socialist and Communist lecturers for adult education which should make America safe for Socialism.) "Mr. Zook added that the orders of the Federal Employment Relief Service to the effect that public funds be made available for employment of unemployed persons in adult education projects grew out of a conference sponsored by the education office and prompted in part by successful adult education projects in New York under Harry Hopkins, now Federal Director of Relief."

The Chicago Daily News, Dec. 26, 1933, under the caption, "Hails 1500 Yule Pardons As Victory for Free Speech," quotes the words of praise of Harry N. Weinberg, the attorney who defended Anarchist Emma Goldman, for the action of Pres. Roosevelt in extending pardon and amnesty to 1500 Reds, who had been convicted of seditious activities against the U. S. government—a gesture of friendship following close upon recognition of Russia, not unappreciated by revolutionaries. It is noteworthy, however, that at the same time the nation's newspapers, after months of haggling, were still unsuccessful in securing a clause guaranteeing them "freedom of speech" in their NRA code. As a consequence, Emma Goldman, deported Anarchist-Communist and free love exponent, has now returned and is spreading her ulcerous doctrines again.

Pres. Roosevelt recently pardoned Robert Osman, Brooklyn corporal, convicted in 1931 of communicating military secrets to Communists (see

Louis Waldman in "Who's Who").

I think when Ezekiel comes to shifting farmers around, as Russia does and telling a farmer who loves his home that he is a "surplus" farmer he may find that the "loud acclaim" which Wm. E. Sweet's letter asserts Roosevelt is receiving will change to something like the statements of Gov. 'Alfalfa Bill' Murray, as recently reported in the press. Having heard that the panhandle section of his State's lands were to be declared unfit for farming and the settlers moved elsewhere, he declared he would call out the National Guard and "not one d— settler would be moved". The residents themselves declared they had lived on and loved their land for many years and knew more about its possibilities than the government appointees and did not care to be moved. Of course the more probable and smoother method of making the farmers move peaceably would be to pay for the land and load the bill onto the taxpayers. Any measure which raises taxes is a means of socialization or doing away with private ownership.

less satisfying to certain mentalities.

What could be simpler in time of economic stress and bewilderment than to imagine a few greedy old fat capitalists clutching all of the nation's wealth in their money bags, while exulting maliciously over the hardships of the unemployed, the unemployed advancing upon them, cracking them over their heads and "re-distributing the wealth" in their bags to the needy? An ending as simple and happy as the arrival of Santa Claus with toys, with the added satisfaction of taking revenge on the villain.

Anyone who owns any investment, property, or business nowadays knows that profits are doubtful, dividends and interest are not being paid, taxes are almost confiscatory, that capitalists who have large holdings are distressed, tax eaten and gloomy, and that some of them commit suicide. The Socialists' mythical capitalist exulting over the present depression is not to be found in real life, nor is it conceivable that any capitalist would deliberately deprive himself of profits in order to deprive his employees of the prosperity

Ellery Walter, fascinating author and lecturer who, after living under the "planned society order" of Russia, became depinked, told how he stood looking at a long line of tractors which were out of commission and asked his Russian girl guide what was the matter with them. She said they had broken down from lack of greasing. Noting a peasant's cart rumbling along with a bucket of grease swinging from the axle, he pointed it out and said to her: "Those peasants know enough to grease their wagons. What is the matter with them that they don't know enough to grease the tractors?" She happened to know the peasant and merely replied, "O! that wagon belongs to him."

America's horse "Capitalism," or private industry, carried his steadily mounting load very well until recent years, when his back caved in alarmingly and his gait became labored. Promising to cure this overloaded back and slow gait by "balancing the budget," the New Deal has instead piled onto him a further load of billions of dollars in socialistic taxation. Socialists gleefully predict that our horse will die. They exult that "Capitalism has failed." He probably will die unless he is rescued. If he does, it will not be his fault, but the fault of those deliberately aiming to kill him with Socialist burdens. Unload Capitalism and give him a sniff of oats for his profit, and he will trot along as he did before. He has proven what he can do in the past.

What have socialistic experiments ever achieved, except deficits or failure? While Russia was primitive under the Czars, it danced on holidays and worshipped God with a full stomach. The Ukraine, now starving, was, in fact, called the bread basket of Europe. Famine, spy and shot gun ridden Russia now turns out more propaganda than produce.

Parker Willis, Columbia U. professor, one of the authors of the federal reserve act, and a monetary authority, said before the American Economic Association, Dec. 28, 1933, that he had had difficulty in analyzing the recovery program because of "a lack of consistency and frankness on the part of those identified with its origin and administration. One fully accredited spokesman of the recovery administration stated that the New Deal was devised after a careful study of European Socialism, Russian Communism, and Italian Fascism. But almost at the same time, another equally high and equally authoritative spokesman denied that there was anything revolutionary in the undertakings.

"As a matter of fact, the panic of 1929 grew out of the existence of too much interference with some industries and nursing, spoon-feeding, and coddling others. It is not true that uncontrolled excessive individualism has destroyed itself. What we are suffering from today is an undue governmental interference with business." (Chicago Tribune, Dec. 29, 1933).

I listened to Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, telling the world over the radio on Christmas morning that governmental "planning" under the New Deal must go on in ever broadening measure, to secure for

the people of America a more "equitable redistribution of wealth," to abolish the "profit motive," the "greed" and "rugged individualism" (all good Socialist phrases), which had ruined this country. He said that nothing that governmental "planning" could do in the future could fail as America had failed in the past, and that nothing it could do could ruin America as we Americans had already ruined it.

I wondered if Mr. Wallace were unaware of the fact that America and its capitalism is the greatest success in history, that the "rugged individualism" of our American pioneering ancestors "chiseled" from the forests of a vast wilderness, no richer than similar vast wildernesses in South America, Africa and Asia, which remain, however, wildernesses today, a nation which is the envy of every nation on earth, and this in the space of only about 150 years. The freely released energies of those who fled the autocracies of European countries created the miracle of modern times—America

I wondered how Mr. Wallace could call America a failure unless perchance he had never seen the rest of the world to draw his comparisons. Anyone who has traveled over the world knows that the greatest part of its surface is still untouched by "Capitalism" or "rugged individualism," that its minerals lie unmined, that the feet of countless millions go bare, that mud or straw huts and a few rags remain in style century after century, for the majority of human beings, that insect-bitten, comfortless poverty on a bare subsistence level reigns unchallenged over the vast stretches of Africa. Asia, South America, and China, where famines also regularly kill off millions, that these millions never experience depressions because they never have any prosperity. They cannot drop because they remain down.

Enroute to the Orient last year when I facetiously jibed a kerosene lamp salesman about his business being out of date, he came back with very exact figures on the millions of inhabitants in India, Asia, Africa, Pacific Islands, etc., who have never had gas or electricity, could not afford it if it were available, who live countless miles from the few foreign settlements where it is available, and are now using far more primitive lighting devices than kerosene lamps. He assured me that his business was in its infancy!

City Americans naturally look upon those who have had their gas and electricity shut off during the depression as sufferers. Yet our own parents had none. My mother, during Christmas holidays, was reminescing with an old friend about their youthful days in Ohio. She recalled the horse and buggy days. He, a prominent Chicago physician, said: "I go you one better. Remember you lived in northern Ohio, which with its lake port, Cleveland, developed ahead of Southern Ohio where I lived. I travelled by ox cart at a time when you, in northern Ohio, had advanced to horses and carriages."

to the success and development of its capitalistic enterprises?

How inconsistently the very people who welcome the advent of a factory to their home town and mourn its closing as a catastrophe, who glory in the memory of the \\$10 per day wages it once paid and the silk shirts, radios and Fords they were able to buy when capitalism was pulsing with life, who themselves hope for nothing so much as the legitimate chance to again make profits, and the sooner the better, will applaud the thrilling experienced "rabble-rouser," with his ever popular appeals to envy, when he denounces as the source of all evil the "profit-motive" of the capitalist who built or ran that factory for their mutual benefit. When he made profits they profited also.

There is, of course, an alternative to the "profit-motive" for spurring human beings on to perform hard, worrisome, or distasteful labor. It is the shot gun. As Bernard Shaw put it: "Compulsory labor with death, the final punishment, is the keystone of socialism." Business men are not apt to voluntarily get too "tired" working for the State, nor are laborers on public works noted for their over exertion. Try calling on a politician early in the day. "He is not down yet" is what you will probably be told. We may reward or punish people to make them work, "crack down" on them, employ a G. P. U. spy system to enforce Socialism, or return to the American Capitalistic principle of production for use and for profit.

Have you ever had your wants completely satisfied? Other Americans have not had theirs satisfied either. There is no limit to new wants, new developments, new possibilities, within America itself, while other lands have been scarcely touched with modern equipment. Wash bowls and pitchers formed the entire window display in a prominent London store when I visited there only a few years ago. There is no over-production and there never has been. Yet Rex. Tugwell, our "brain trust" leader, says new industry should not be allowed to arise unless it has first been planned for and considered probably desirable by the government. (See under Nat. Religion and Labor Found.)

In Russia, where Marxism rules, employees do not receive the full value

'You can only wear one eye-glass in your eye,

Many business men, now harassed by the evident animosity of socialistic "New Dealers" toward private business for profit, warned to keep prices down, wages up, hours of business long (for themselves), hours of employees short, to compute sales taxes and to expect to lose their blue eagle if they err, would gladly, but for the hope of future change, rid themselves of the worrisome burden of running a profitless business for others, and become employees themselves. Many people who saved to buy investments for their own "old age security," which are now almost worthless, wish they had squandered the money instead. Even the movies portray all mortgage owners as villains. Many of these villains are widows, orphans, and aged people dependent for support on this income. Insurance policies depend largely upon mortgages.

struggle of meeting taxes.

When it no longer "pays" to own property or run a business, it means that capitalism or "private ownership" is being squeezed to death. Socialism is killing it. Only when Socialism is throttling legitimate profits does the big and little capitalist stop investing, that is, spending, and try to hide a little of his fast disappearing money from the tax collector, but "New Dealers" have devaluated even money now. The State seems about ready to gobble up

all private ownership rights.

In the face of all evidences of the success of capitalism and of the failures of Socialism, one can but marvel at the ever gushing zeal of Socialist propagandists. Their appeals to abolish the profit motive are as sweet as the rustle of angels' wings. Who could remain unmoved by the following from "Toward A New Economic Society" by Kirby Page and Sherwood Eddy? (p. 83): "What can religion as the champion of personality do to give our economic activities an ethical content and place them in their proper sphere? . . . The profit motive must be supplanted by the motive of service or production for use, which in turn means that ownership as soon as practicable, should rest in the hands of the community. . . . The Columbia Conserve Company in Indianapolis, owned and controlled by its employees, is a rare but enlightening example of this form of organization." (Soulful, is it not?)

The Columbia Conserve Company, from a thousand pulpits, lecture plat-

forms, and class rooms, has long been heralded as the most advanced form of industrial democracy, an example to youth, a reproof to the American business man. Yet, the socialist World Tomorrow (Dec. 21, 1933) itself publishes this story of its debacle: About 15 years ago Mr. Wm. P. Hapgood with the cooperation of his brothers, Norman and Hutchins, established a canning factory with the avowed purpose of demonstrating the possibilities of democracy in industry. A system was also devised whereby the ownership of the company would pass by stages into the hands of the employees. About a year ago, the quarrel between Mr. Hapgood and some of the ablest veteran workers became so acute that in February, with the consent of all parties concerned, Sherwood Eddy, Jerome Davis, Paul H. Douglas, and James Myers (all radicals) were requested to serve as a committee for the purpose of investigating the whole situation. An agreement was reached which was to remain in force until April, 1934. Nevertheless, within two months Mr. Hapgood requested of the committee that the company be released from the agreement. Opposition was offered to this by a group of employees, etc. (Wm. M. Leiserson, Roosevelt appointee as secy. Nat. Labor Bd., was chosen as arbitrator.)

democracy had disappeared" (as in Russia).

Jail or the shot gun is the "correct social strategy" in the Soviet Socialist paradise. These take the place of competition, under capitalism, in settling wage and other controversies. Had the United States been completely socialized at the time this quarrel broke out, governmental forces would have been used to "correct down" on these diagraphical markets.

used to "crack down" on these disgruntled workers.

One notes that even such a zealous "Christian" Socialist as Rev. E. F. Tittle of Evanston, while denouncing Capitalism and social inequality between whites and negroes, yet continues to enjoy his capitalistic salary, home and car, instead of sharing them with poor evicted negroes, and sends his own

daughter through Roycemore, the most exclusive private school on the North Shore, although Evanston has good public schools.

Morris Hillquit, national executive of the Socialist Party for many years, died recently, leaving a fortune of some \\$200,000, which according to his Socialist principles, should be "redistributed." He should have shared it

long ago

Bernard Shaw, one of the world's most outstanding propagandists for Communism-Socialism, lives in England where he can enjoy the huge profits from his writings and other capitalistic ventures. Portly Maxim Litvinoff, who visited the United States while hunger was rampant in Russia, bore no marks of suffering, nor, as the Chicago Tribune remarked at the time, was there any direct evidence that he had been "especially fattened for the occasion." He demonstrated the well-known fact that political commissars, everywhere, eat, regardless of whether others starve or not. The cure for the temptations inherent in politics which give rise to its widespread corruption, is not more political offices, more temptation, more politicians, more political power, more graft, more taxes—in other words more Socialism—but less, and a return to the individualistic sense of responsibility, the private initiative and capitalism which has actually hewn and chiseled American greatness out of a primitive wilderness and given its people the highest standard of living of any people in history.

The National Republic (Dec. 1933 issue) under the heading "The Failure

of Socialism" states:

"Persons socialistically inclined often point to the present world-wide depression as 'a failure of the capitalist system,' that is, of the system of private ownership of property and liberty and from this argue in favor of fundamental changes in the economic order as a means of improving the lot of the people.

"But the present world-wide breakdown could more properly be charged to a collapse of the socialist system. Every important power in the western world today, except the United States, is under either socialist parliamentary control, or that dictatorship to which socialism leads as in Italy, Poland.

Germany and Russia.

"Beyond this effect of direct socialist control, the menace of political ownership of property and destruction of individual liberty and enterprise, and the meddling with the established monied systems, are the chief factors in the slowing down of business enterprise. It is not to be expected that productive enterprise will go ahead full steam when enemies of all private enterprise are busily engaged in trying to tear up the tracks and burn the

# FASCISM

Fascism, the bitterest enemy of Socialism-Communism, resembles Socialism in the respect that it gives great power to the State and dictatorship over all industry, employment, education, freedom of the press, etc. The points of difference which make it violently hated by the Reds are: its opposition to the "class struggle" and the subjugation of the bourgeoisie by the dictatorship of the proletariat. Rather, it seeks a harmony between all classes and concedes to industrialists, white collar, professional, as well as laboring workers, a place in the social order as necessary parts, not "class enemies," of the whole, but under State control. It defends some property rights and religion. It opposes Marxist philosophy and the Communist and Socialist Marxian parties. Fascism in Italy is not anti-Semitic. The problem of the large number of revolutionary Russian Jews in Germany doubtless contributed toward making Fascist Germany anti-Semitic.

Unless large numbers of Americans shake off their present indifference to fast disappearing liberty and to danger from within, and combat Socialism-Communism vigorously, some form of Fascism will arise in America to do battle with Socialism for the dictatorship over the indifferent. As the strength of Socialism-Communism increases, the chance to preserve Democracy decreases, until eventually Fascism becomes the only alternative to Socialism-Communism. It is late, but not too late to save American Democracy if Americans will awaken—now! Where are America's leaders?

The greatest economic event of the nineteenth century occurred when Frederick W. Taylor first held a stop watch on the movements of a group of shovelers in the plant of the Midvale Steel Company. And we must have understood when Sbop Management was published in 1903 that, per haps a generation later, the world would be overwhelmed with goods. Taylor had already done his greatest work by then, and notice of it had been sufficiently public if therhad been economic ears to hear. Instead of that, writing and teaching went on undisturbed the subject matter becoming more and more traditional. Perhaps most ironical of all in view of the coming surplus was all the emphasis on land.

# A ABRAHAM LINCOLN CENTER— "UNITY"

Unity Publishing Co., of Lincoln Center also headed by Curtis Reese, publishes a weekly magazine, of which the editor is John Haynes Holmes, which has long had a reputation for radicalism. The Lusk Report in 1920 (p. 1129) said: "Such Unitarian ministers as J. M. Evans and A. L. Weatherly" (on Unity staff 1933) "can abjure God without leaving their ministry John Haynes Holmes changed the name of his so-called church from 'Church of the Messiah' to 'Community Church' as an outward mark of his change of heart from Christianity to Communism. An insidious anti-religious campaign is being carried on by these men and their colleagues in such reviews as 'The World Tomorrow' (New York) and 'Unity' (Chicago)."

Sidney Strong, radical, father of Anna Louise Strong (the Communist editor of the Moscow Daily News in Moscow) and of Tracy Strong (whose communistic activities in the Y.M.C.A. were widely commented upon by the press), is one of the board of directors of Unity. In his article in the Sept. 18, 1933, issue he says: "More

than a year ago Litvinoff of the Soviet Republic made proposals that involved a drastic reduction of arms all around—in fact at one instance he proposed that steps be taken towards total and general disarmament" (see "Pacifism"). "Unfortunately his proposals were not heeded... Everyone should be encouraged to take a personal stand—to be a war resister... Anti war congresses should be held. There cannot be too many public protests."

The International League Against Imperialism, the parent organization, has branches in all parts of the world and is Moscow's agency for spreading revolutionary doctrines among colonial peoples. It urges those still primitive peoples who are now united with and defended by strong civilizing powers such as the U.S., England, Holland and France, to throw off "foreign imperialism" in order that they may more easily be captured piecemeal for Moscow imperialism—an imperialism which by comparison with the modern, liberal, so-called "imperialism" of the nations it attacks is like a penitentiary reform school compared with a Montessori Kindergarten (where freedom of "self expression" for each little personality is the rule). It not only urges the Philippines to break away from United States "imperialism," and Latin America to throw off the Monroe Doctrine, but it tries to persuade the citizens of all ruling countries that civilizing and keeping order in savage countries is brutal bullying "imperialism" on the part of their governments and that they should urge their governments to keep "Hands Off" regardless of danger to the lives or property of other nationals. Communist sympathizers naturally help this propaganda along.

Willi Muenzenberg, German Communist, has been its head or international secretary. Bertrand Russell has been head of the English section and Henri Barbusse, French Communist, head of the French section. Albert Einstein, Mme. Sun Yat Sen (China), Upton Sinclair, Willi Muenzenberg, Maxim Gorki (U.S.S.R.), Sen. Katayama, artist Diego Rivera (then mem. cent. com. Communist Party of Mexico), Prof. Wm.

The A.C.L.U. is frequently mentioned as suing in behalf of, or cooperating with, the 4A in suits. In the Anthony Bimba case (Communist Party functionary tried for blasphemy), the Garland Fund, A.C.L.U., and 4A all cooperated in his defense.

The Socialist Debs Memorial Radio Station (W.E.V.D.) fittingly proved itself a true friend of Atheism, according to the Apr. 1929 Report: "We have outwitted the bigots and now broadcast regularly over Station W.E.V.D., New York (231.6-1300 K.C.), Saturdays, 6 P.M. The recent increase in this station enables us to reach a much larger audience. Because of our sending Atheism over the air through its transmitting plant, Franklin Ford of Station W.H.A.P. terminated his contract with Station W.E.V.D., which now has its own plant." The June 1930 Report says: "Mr. Kenneth Blanchet is the official broadcaster for the Association over Radio Station W.E.V.D., New York."

## ATTEST TITEDATTIDE

"Tons of tracts" are sent out. The June 1930 Report says: "At the last printing of leaflets and folders, a total of 300,000 copies was run off. Previous to that and during the year 1929 we had printed 50,000 copies of 'Uncle Sams Mistress'" (the Church), "100,000 copies of 'Read Without Fear,' 20,000 copies of 'What is Religion?'" 110,000 copies of 'What is Religion?'" 110,000 copies of 'The Bible in Balance" were sold. "Most of this literature is sold to members and friends at cost or less than cost and by them given away. . . . Now that we have a ground floor store on one of the city's busiest streets a considerable number of leaflets and folders is given away each day to passersby who are invited by a large sign to help themselves."

Atheist literature specializes in obscenity. The title of an article in the Apr. 1929 Report is "The Cohabitation of Church and State." "Uncle Sam's Mistress," the leaflet mentioned above, says in part: "The Church calls herself the bride of Christ. But as he does not support her, she is forced into dishonorable relations. This kept woman of the State is supposed to repay those from whom

The same Report reprints from its 4A organ "Truthseeker" two items which had aroused opposition from a minister. One, an obscene birth control suggestion for government supervised prostitutes, another a "Holy Ghost joke" which is typical of the atheist anti-religious literature of Jos. Lewis and his ilk: "A very pious young lady had died and had gained admittance into heaven. Saint Peter took her around and presented her to God, Christ and various other notables. Being left alone, she strolled around and admired the scenery, but noticed she was being followed by a very small, mean looking fellow, who kept bowing to her and was evidently trying to 'pick her up.' Much alarmed, she ran back to St. Peter, told him what had happened, and asked him who this little fellow could be. Looking up and seeing who it was, Peter replied: 'Oh, that's the Holy Ghost, but we don't introduce him to ladies since he had that little affair with the Virgin Mary.' "This draws a picture which reminds one of the blasphemous Soviet cartoons of Christ and the Holy Ghost which fill Russian Churches (see Proletarian Party).

Under the heading "Hypocrites Howl About Russia," the June 1930 Report tells how President Smith of the 4A, in defense of Soviet Russia's persecution of Christians, addressed an audience of 15,000 at the N.Y. Coliseum, Mar. 16, 1930.

"The growth of what is called Humanism, together with the establishment of a few churches and societies for its propagation, caused considerable discussion during the year. However much Humanists for reasons of expediency shun the title 'Atheist,' they are Godless. Consequently we welcome their aid in overthrowing Christianity, and all other religions based on the superpatural" (Tune 1930 Report)

(1) Taxation of church property. (2) Elimination of chaplains and sectarian institutions from public pay rolls. (3) Abrogation of laws enforcing Christian morals and restricting the rights of Atheists. (4) Abolition of the oath in courts and at inaugurations. (5) Non-issuance of religious proclamations by chief executives. (6) Removal of 'In God We Trust' from coins and the cross from above the flag.

(2) Sensationalism: The doctrine that all ideas arise out of sensation, and that, therefore, man can have no conception of an infinite God, or of ultimate causation, or that absolute moral imperative which certain philosophers have made the foundation of Theism. (3) Evolution: The doctrine that organisms are not designed, but have evolved, mechanically, through Natural Selection. (4) The existence of Evil: The patent fact that renders irrational the belief in a beneficent, omnipotent being who cares for man.

the I.L.D., for this purpose. It plays the "white collar" role in the movement.

One is amused at the A.C.L.U. highbrow appeals, its constant cries for unlimited "freedom of speech" for Reds "as guaranteed by the Constitution," which the Reds aim to destroy, while at the same time it is suing for libel, patriotic anti-Red defenders of this Constitution who make comparatively petty criticisms of its own members.

The sort of "freedom of speech" defended by the A.C.L.U. seems to cover the Red's right to conduct a libelous, obscene, and seditious press against our American government and its loyal supporters, the right to not only advocate sedition, violence and murder but to commit these deeds as well, for after a Red commits these crimes the A.C.L.U. redoubles its efforts to secure his release. The statement of Tom McKenna, a busy little spectator at Communist riots and secretary of the Chicago A.C.L.U., that the Chicago Committee had devoted one day a week and reviewed some 1300 cases, practically all Communist, in Cook County during 1932, taking part of these cases up with Police Commissioner Allman and filing suit in behalf of some, would indicate a more than mere theoretical interest in "free speech" on the part of the A.C.L.U. It is impossible to believe that A.C.L.U. bureaus and lawyers all over the United States are maintained at great expense for the purpose of fighting countless legal battles in behalf of Reds merely because of a love for defending "free speech" for everyone including "those with whose opinions we disagree," particularly in view of the A.C.L.U. petty libel suits against Anti-Reds who actually dare to disagree with the A.C.L.U.

The U.S. Fish Report says: "During the Gastonia strike there was a bloody conflict between the communist-led workers and the police, in which the chief of police was shot and killed and two of his assistants wounded. Seven communists were sentenced to long terms in prison... During the trial of the communists at Gastonia, not for freedom of speech, of the press, or assembly, but for conspiracy to kill the chief of police, the A.C.L.U. provided bail for five of the defendants, amounting to \\$28,500, which it secured from the Garland Fund. All of the defendants convicted jumped their bail and are reported to be in Russia. The \\$28,500 bail was forfeited, including \\$9,000 more advanced by the International Labor Defense" (Communist)

"Roger N. Baldwin, its guiding spirit, makes no attempt to hide his friendship

"Testifying on force and violence, murder, etc. the following is quoted: The chairman: Does your organization uphold the right of a citizen or alien—it does not make any difference which—to advocate murder? Mr. Baldwin: Yes. The Chairman: Or Assassination? Mr. Baldwin: Yes. The Chairman: Does your organization uphold the right of an American citizen to advocate force and violence for the overthrow of the Government? Mr. Baldwin: Certainly; in so far as mere advocacy is concerned. The Chairman: Does it uphold the right of an alien in this country to urge the overthrow and advocate the overthrow of the Government by force and violence? Mr. Baldwin: Precisely on the same basis as any citizen. Precisely on the same basis as any citizen. The Chairman: You do uphold the right of an alien to advocate the overthrow of the Government by force and violence: Mr. Baldwin: Sure; certainly. It is the healthiest kind of thing, of course, for a country to have free speech—unlimited."

What possible interest could such Moscow-directed Communists as Wm. Z. Foster, Robt. W. Dunn, Scott Nearing, Anna Rochester, etc., etc. (who help direct the A.C.L.U.), have in merely promoting free speech for everyone, since their chosen career is to work for a Soviet United States barring free speech? The A.C.L.U. nicely explains this fight for "free speech" in its 1929-30 Annual Report, p. 5: "Our services are essential for whatever degree of tolerance we can achieve, and will be until a political and economic opposition arises strong enough to defend its own rights. . . . These early months of 1930 have produced a larger crop of court cases" (for the A.C.L.U. to defend) "involving civil liberty than any entire year since the war. This is due to the wave of suppression by officials of the militant activities of the Communist Party and left-wing strikes." In other words, under the guise of free speech, etc., by means of legal battles, revolutionary Communism-Socialism must be defended until it gains power, and the large crop of A.C.L.U. cases was due to defense of Communist militant activities. "Minorites" is also a favorite A.C.L.U. term for revolutionaries.

# WHAT THE A.C.L.U. SAYS OF ITSELF

One need not accept the conclusions of the U.S. Fish Report, N.Y. State Lusk Report, Better America Federation, or other expert reports concerning the A.C. L.U. One who carefully reads the daily newspapers or who reads the Communist press may gain constant evidence of A.C. L.U. activities in support of the Red movement

tained by the State Supreme Court and review was refused by the U.S. Supreme Court" (a triumph for the Atheists).

The Atheist 4A Report for 1927-8 (p. 11) said: "Last spring Meyer Koninkow and Meyer Applebaum members of the Society of the Godless, the Greater N.Y. branch of the Junior Atheist League, wrote Miss Christine Walker, Nat. Sec. of the League, asking for her assistance in freeing them from compulsory attendance at Bible reading in the high school assembly. Harold S. Campbell, Supt. of High Schools refused to excuse Applebaum and on his remaining away expelled him. But a threat of Court action with the aid of the American Civil Liberties Union recalled the school officials to their senses... they reinstated young Applebaum. The victory reestablished a valuable precedent."

The A.C.L.U. promised to send Arthur Garfield Hays to Little Rock, Ark., to fight against Arkansas anti-Atheist laws, says the 4A April 1929 Report. Also when the contract for use of the Huntington, West Va., auditorium for an Atheist lecture by Chas. Smith, Pres. of 4A, was cancelled, the A.C.L.U. wired protests, according to the 4A 1927-8 Report. "A Court Victory for Atheists" is the heading of the account in the 4A 1931-2 Report of the case won Mar. 23, 1932, "argued by Mr. Albert E. Kane of 381 Madison Ave., a rising young New York lawyer . . . who represented the American Civil Liberties Union" (Chas. Smith, Pres. of the 4A, had been arrested for conducting Atheist street meetings without a permit). To quote: "As a result of our reopening the streets for Atheist propaganda numerous free lance speakers began holding anti-religious meetings of their own all over the city. This spread of Atheism caused the city authorities to attempt to suppress it by one of the most absurd prosecutions ever instituted." The A.C.L.U Report also jubilates and lists under the heading of its "Gains": "6. Decision of Court of Appeals in New York that atheists' street meetings are not religious gatherings within the meaning of the law and require no permit."

In suits like this, as a 4A Report said of a similar contest, "Not Mr. Smith, but Atheism is on trial." The A.C.L.U. rejoices and "Gains" when Atheism wins, evidently.

(p. 19) "The Civil Liberties Union works on the Mooney-Billings case from our office, and particularly this year through attorney Aaron Shapiro . . . spending some \\$1500 more than the A.C.L.U. raised toward his expenses" (for reeing the Anarchiet Communict dynamiter Magnetic

Legionnaires); "Pardon application for Israel Lazar, also known as Bill Lawrence, sentenced to two to four years under the Pennsylvania sedition act"; "Pardon applications for two Pennsylvania prisoners serving two-year sentences for "inciting to riot' at Wildwood in the 1931 coal strike"; "Parole instead of deportation for Carl Sklar, Russian-born, and voluntary departure to Russia for Tsuji Horiuchi, Imperial Valley, Calif. prisoners whose terms expire July 1932." (Sklar was a convicted Communist revolutionary agitator. A Japanese Communist deported to Japan would be jailed; hence the A.C.L.U. request for his "voluntary departure to Russia").

Exultantly, the A.C.L.U. lists under its

"Gains" for the year:

"Decision . . . permitting Tao Hsuan Li, Chinese Communist, and Guido Serio, anti-Fascist Communist, to go to Soviet Russia instead of to certain death or imprisonment in their home lands. Eduardo Machado, slated for deportation to Spain, also was granted voluntary departure to Russia."

"Ruling of U.S. Judge Woolsey that Dr. Marie C. Stopes book 'Contraception,' is moral and can legally be imported . . . the first book on specific birth control information admitted since 1890. The Courts overruled the Customs Bureau in admitting it. It cannot however he sent by mail"

out interference."

"Final discharge of ten Communists held in Portland a year under the Oregon crimi-

nal syndicalism law."

"Frank Spector freed from prison, his conviction in Imperial Valley, Calif., strike criminal syndicalism case having been reversed." (Communist organizer.)

"Alabama Syndicalism bill designed to outlaw Communists rejected in Committee"

(A "Gain" indeed for the Reds.)

"Release of Theodore Luesse, Communist, confined on an Indiana prison farm in default of \\$500 fine, for Unemployed Council activities"

view a case from Washington in which Bible reading in public schools was sought to be established." (No Bible reading, say the Reds.)

The legislative program of the A.C.L.U.

"1. To enact in each state a model antiinjunction bill along the lines of the new federal bill." (Sponsored by the A.C.L.U. It gives Red strikers freedom to make employers helpless.)

"2. In New York State to repeal the moving picture censorship, the theatre padlock law" (allowing padlocking of a theatre for showing obscene plays), "to take away special police powers from the Vice Society" (why repress vice?), "and in Massachusetts to set aside free speech areas in public parks: to take away from

"3. In Pennsylvania, to repeal sedition act" (against Reds), "to take police out of strikes, to abolish the coal and iron police and to force the incorporation of company towns." (This would put Red strikers in requer)

"Among other issues tackled by the Chicago Committee were the barring of minor" (Communist, etc.) "political parties from the ballot in Illinois, compulsory military training at the State University . . ." etc. (Weakening national defense is a Red

objective.)

"Expenditures for the ordinary oper-

\\$24,808 the year previous."

"Special Fund expenditures totaled \\$23,300.... \\$15,589 went to carrying the expenditures in excess of receipts of the three auxiliary organizations created by the Union, the National Mooney-Billings Committee, the National Committee on Labor Injunctions, and the National Council on Freedom from Censorship. The remainder of the special funds outside of the specific grants from the American Fund for Public Service" (Garland Fund) "went into court cases."

Under "Loans" are listed: to "General Defense Committee \\$500" (I.W.W.); to "International Labor Defense, national office \\$1518.30, Philadelphia office \\$450, Boston office \\$50" (Communist)

Concerning its branches the A.C.L.U.

Report states that:

"In Seattle a local Civil Liberties Committee was formed in 1931 with Edward E. Henry as secretary, and has since been active in efforts to get downtown meeting places and permits to parade for Communist-led organizations . . . The Committee has participated in defense of deportation cases; . . . and has taken part in the movement to abolish compulsory military

training at the state university.'

"A small committee was formed in Wash., D.C. to aid in work with Congress and the departments as occasion demands."

"The Union continues to prepare a page for the monthly issues of the Arbitrator, published by Wm. Floyd, thus reaching a large number outside the Union's membership." (Wm. Floyd is one of the gentle "pacifists" who decry violence so earnestly that they oppose all national defense—for the U.S.)

Among the numerous Red pamphlets and publications put out by the A.C.L.U. is "Professional Patriots," edited by Norman Hapgood. Its distribution was reported as A.C.L.U. "Work in Hand" for 1927, and the Communist Daily Worker published it serially as good Communist propaganda. It took the customary shots at all who dare criticize its activities giving particular mention to the Better America Federation, which is responsible for the enactment and retention of the California Criminal Syndicalism Law, in spite of the frantic and united efforts of the A.C.L.U., I.W.W. and Communist and Socialist Parties to repeal it. The Better America Federation came right back with a published reply which is a classic. Reading it gives one the desire to yell "Hurrah for you!" and throw a hat into the air. To quote:

"The B.A.F. is pleased to say this:

"It was spawned to give aid and comfort

to the enemies of this Republic.

"Its consistent policy is one of breeding hatred and suspicion and hostility toward this country in the minds of all it can influence.

"It spends each year more money for its program of moral and civic sabotage than the entire stipends of those it evilly dubs 'professionals patriots.'

"It has been in bad odor with many governmental and educational agencies in

this Republic from its birth.

"It is the god-mother of slackerism, the chum of Socialism, the tried and true friend of the I.W.W., the helpful hand-maiden of Communism, and the attorney-in-fact for obscenity, criminal syndicalism, and anarchy

"It has a 100% record of aiding persons and movements about whose character, lawful practices, and statutory patriotism there have been grave official doubts.

"It has never caused a single human being's heart to turn toward the love or even the decent respect for this Republic; on the contrary, it has been from the beginning, is today, and blatantly promises to continue to be a breeder of disaffection and a protector of revolutionary movements aimed at the life of this Republic

"And it is an enemy many fold more detestable than any we have fought in any war; for those foes were proud to wear a uniform and to die in open battle for their flags; while the American Civil Liberties Union is a rascally, skulking foe, operating under a camouflage, and marshalling the lewdest fellows of the basest sort to secret sapping of the foundations of this Republic

"The Better America Federation will be proud to be a 'Professional Patriot,' and will continue, in company with its many allies, to fight the American Civil Liberties Union organization, program, and personnel—Clergymen, Communists, Bishops, Slackers, Payolytionaries, I W W's and

all "

Encouraging naturally timid boys and discontents to register as conscientious objectors. 2. To assist any radical movement calculated to obstruct the prosecution of the war, as evidenced by the bureau's activities in collecting funds for the I.W.W. and 'Masses' defense. 3.

# To our Washington friends: -

May we ask you to make an effort to attend a hearing to be held this Saturday morning at 10:30 in Room 450, Senate Office Bldg. on Senator Cutting's bill to admit alien pacifists to citizenship without promising to bear arms? The hearing is before a sub-committee of the Judiciary Committee composed of Senators David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, chairman; Marcus A. Coolidge of Massachusetts and Roscoe C. Patterson of Missouri, - a not too hopeful group.

This hearing is solely for the opponents of the measure. We had our field-day yesterday, and according to reports, it was a highly effective presentation of the case for the bill. John W. Davis, counsel for Prof. Macintosh, led off followed by Bishop McConnell, president of the Federal Council of Churches, Father McGowan of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, Rabbi Israel of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and Francis Taylor of the Society of Friends. The committee room was crowded with numbers of "patriotic" societies who had gotten wind of the hearing, although we had done our best to keep it quiet so there would not be the high-tension emotional atmosphere which marked the Griffin bill hearings. Apparently there is no escape from that conflict at hearings. We are therefore asking all our friends to be out in force on Saturday morning to hear what the "patriots" have to say!

A good turnout will help offset them. We trust you will make an effort to be present.

Sincerely yours,

# ANARCHISM AND ANARCHIST-COMMUNISM

Many anarchist groups (such as the Nihilists of Russia) might be described and their differences shown, but the first important anarchist movement in the U.S., which established several newspapers ("The Anarchist" at Boston, "The Arbeiter-Zeitung" at Chicago, and the "Voice of the People" at St. Louis), in 1883 at Pitts-

ability."

The Garland Fund donated to the anarchist Ferrer School at Stelton, N.J., founded by Leonard D. Abbott, a N.Y. City branch of which was organized by Emma Goldman and Berkman. The Ferrer Assn. and Colony of about 300 houses was located at Stelton, but had branches in many parts of the country. The Ferrer Assn. was created as a memorial to the Spanish anarchist Francesco Ferrer, who was executed by his government. Harry Kelley was one of the trustees of the association and colony at Stelton, and editor (as he still is) of the Freedom magazine, published formerly at 133 E. 15th St., N.Y., the same place which housed the Union of Russian Workers, another anarchist association. The June 1 1020 issue

Emma Goldman in her essay "Anarchism," on page 59, said: "Religion, the dominion of the human mind; Property, the dominion of human needs; and Government, the dominion of human conduct, represent the stronghold of man's enslavement and all the horrors it entails"; and on page 134: "Indeed conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism."

In her essay "Marriage and Love," she says, on page 242: "Love, the freest, the most powerful molder of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonomous with that poor little state and church-begotten weed, marriage?"; on page 72: "Direct action, having proven effective along economic lines is equally potent in the environment of the individual . . . Direct action against the authority in the shop, direct action against the authority of the law, direct action against the authority of the law, direct action against the invasive meddlesome authority of our moral code" (she herself writes of the many men with whom she had intimate relations in her book "Living My Life") "is the logical, consistent method of Anarchism. Will it lead to a revolution? Indeed it will. No real social change has ever come without a revolution. People are either not familiar with their history, or they have not yet learned that revolution is but thought carried into action."

Acts of violence, such as her amour Berkman's stabbing and shooting of Frick the steel magnate, as a protest against canitalism, are called "attentats" by Emma Goldman and her followers and are revered as heroic deeds in behalf of the "class struggle."

The Lusk Report cites an intercepted telegram of March 2, 1918 addressed to Leon Trotsky, Smolny Institute, Petrograd, from Leonard Abbott for the Ferrer Association, as follows: "Ferrer Association is with you to the death. Are forming Red Guards to help you defend the Revolution"; and another cablegram sent the same date by M. Eleanor Fitzgerald to Wm. Shatoff, Smolny Institute, Petrograd: "Mother Earth groups with our lives and our last cent are with you in your fight"; Lincoln Steffens was another of this group who sent a cablegram to Russia (March 4, 1918) with Louise Bryant, formerly wife of Communist John Reed and until recently wife of Wm. C. Bullitt, a radical who in 1919 was accompanied on an official mission to Russia by Lincoln Steffens. Bullitt has been chief advisor of the U.S. State Dept. by appointment of Pres. Roosevelt and is now Ambassador to Bolshevik Russia (1934). The Bryant-Steffens cablegram, addressed to Lenin and Trotsky, Smolny Institute. Petrograd, said: "Important you designate unofficial representative here who can survey situation, weigh facts and cable conclusions you might accept and act upon Will undertake secure means of communication between such man and yourself." (Evidently Bullitt was the man.)

When Emma Goldman and Berkman were arrested for their seditious anti-war activities, the League for Amnesty of Political Prisoners was organized by their supporters. (See "Lg. for Amn. of Pol Pris.")

# BERGER (VICTOR L.) NATIONAL FOUNDATION

A Socialist organization "organized to honor the memory of the late Victor L. Berger. Its founders believe that this can be done best by rendering effective aid to those minority causes to which he devoted himself for four decades . . . by the building of a newspaper press which will mobilize public opinion in behalf of the ideals for which liberals, progressives and peace advocates contend." (From announcement of Victor L. Berger Foundation Dinner held at Morrison Hotel, Nov. 12, 1931.) The announcement does not dwell on Victor Berger's conviction for sedition and speeches favoring direct action and revolution, although "minority causes" is a polite phrase for "revolutionary causes." The "Statement of Clarence Darrow on accepting the presidency of the Victor L. Berger National Foundation" is printed as: "It is of paramount importance we establish our own press as quickly as possible. There is every evidence of the emergence of working class forces in this country. . . . I think the splendid work started by the late Victor L. Berger, of whose fearless independence I was an admirer, should be pushed with all possible energy"; it was

Bills might even make him trouble as some people considered him a dangerous radical. He also advanced the anarchistic argument that no one should be forced to obey a law against his own conscience. At this, Senator Barr asked him which of our laws he would refuse to obey. After this Hearing, at which I testified in favor of the Bills to curb Communism, I expressed to Rev. Maguire my respect for his Church, having attended a convent school myself, and my surprise and disappointment to find him on the side of those fighting for freedom to teach Communism and destroy Christian faith in our colleges.

# CHICAGO ATHEIST FORUMS

It is estimated that some fifteen or sixteen atheist forums are being conducted at various of the 70 local Chicago Communist headquarters, Sunday afternoons. One, which is plainly advertised each Saturday in the Chicago Daily News, is conducted by the American Assn. for the Advancement of Atheism, at 357 Chicago Ave., Communist Party local hdqts. Speakers for 1933: Haldeman-Julius, Rev. Norman Barr, Prof. Frank Midney, Dr. Percy Ward, Neal Ness, Rev. Aronson, etc. Only watheist literature and the Communist Daily Worker are sold at these meetings. On Nov. 12, 1933, the atheist speaker used vile obscene language in ridiculing the Christian religion, and the existence of God. His opponent, Rev. L. Hoover, made a weak plea for the existence of a power called God as evidenced in viewing sunsets, etc. This the atheist was given the opportunity to ridicule vigorously. The hall is decreated with communist Russian posters, I.L.D. and T.U.U.L. local branch signs, Workers Theatre announcements; a big red paper bow drapes the top of the stage; and a black board lists meetings and speakers of the communist Unemployed Councils, which meet there. On Nov. 12, the name of "James M. Yard, D.D." was chalked up as speaker for Nov. 15. (See under "Who's Who.")

Chas.

did in Russia, and blowing up their country's ammunition, etc. at the right moment. Only the red flag of revolution was displayed and the International sung at this meeting, attended by about 9,000 Reds (and myself). Morrison was cheered when he said we would never have peace until the capitalist system was abolished! In introducing the various Communist speakers, he referred to Joseph Freeman of the communist "New Masses" as his "fellow addition."

# CHRISTIAN SOCIAL ACTION

Chr. Soc. Act. M.

A movement to introduce Socialism-Communism into churches, according to its "Leaders Handbook," sold at Methodist Board of Education hdqts., 740 Rush St. Chicago (price 15c); organized April 1932 by a conference of 84 ministers, their wives and laymen, fourteen of these giving "74C Rush Street" as address; the handbook anounces that "A Socialist Minister's Protective Association, with 21 charter members was formed. . . . The purpose of the Assn. is to provide emergency maintenance for any member who loses his job because of social interest and activity. For detailed information inquiry may be made of the Rev. W. B. Waltmire, Humboldt Pk. Community Church. Chicago."

mons to a rack of Communist and Socialist literature to be placed in the Church for reading, and numerous other schemes for definitely propagandizing the belief that our American "capitalistic" social system has permanently collapsed and that Socialism must be substituted for it. The books recommended for reading by Church people are by such authors as Atheist-Socialist Haldeman-Julius, atheistic Communists Robt. W. Dunn, Scott Nearing, Grace Hutchins, Anna Rochester, Charlotte Todes, and M. Ilin of Russia (Geo. S. Counts' translation), and radicals Norman Thomas, Harry Ward, Kirby Page, Sherwood Eddy, James Weldon Johnson, Winthrop Lane, Oscar Ameringer, Paul Douglas, the Webbs (English radicals), G. B. Shaw, H. W. Laidler, Maurice Hindus, Stuart Chase, Arthur Garfield Hays, Raushenbush, Meiklejohn, etc.; and also A.C.L.U. pamphlets.

The following are characteristic excerpts from this "Leaders Handbook": "Progressive Steps Toward Socialism (1) Uplift and coercion. Our task is to get underneath the victims of our present order and lift up and get above and press down." (Most capitalists are well pressed down now it would seem and because of that the job holders suffer.) "Industrial Justice cannot be secured without coercion." (Coercion is a polite word for a Socialist program); "(4) Political Organization: Workers must be organized into a political party." (The un-American idea of joining church and state in politics); (p. 58). "Foment Discontent. There is great danger religion may be "the opium of the people" (quoting atheist Karl Marx), "it is the duty of the Church to stimulate the spirit of protest and revolt within the breasts of impoverished men and women; (12) That all ministers who are willing to participate actively in the industrial conflict register with the Methodist Federation for Social Service . . to act as arbitrators or as actual participants in the distribution of literature, parading, speaking, picketing," etc.; (p. 58) "Minority groups: The local church should cooperate with all those organizations in the community which are seeking basic changes in the

An A.C.L.U. - dominated committee organized about 1928-29 with Hubert C. Herring (A.C.L.U., nat. com.) as executive director; is antagonistic toward the Monroe Doctrine and deplores U.S. "imperialism"; in this respect its program is identical with that of the communist All America Anti-Imperialist League, which, among other activities, directs its propaganda shafts at U.S. "imperialism" and the Monroe Doctrine; a letter sent out Oct. 26,

1931 by the Chicago Branch soliciting attendance at a dinner at the Chicago Woman's Club, Nov. 9th, to be addressed by Herring, stated in part: "Among other features will be a description by Mr. Herring of some proposed short conducted trips in December and January and a Seminar in the Carribean in February. These should appeal to many people who have been charmed with what they have read and seen of Mexico and the Carribean, especially those who have been reading recent volumes such as that of Stuart Chase." On the letterhead, executives of the Chicago branch were listed as: "Mrs. Frank H. McCulloch, chairman, 231 S. La Salle St." (Catherine Waugh McCulloch, A.C.L.U. Chgo. Com.); "Clyde C. McGee, vice chairman, 1755 W. 103rd St." (A.C.L.U. Chgo. Com.); "Mrs. Henry W. Austin, treasurer, 1022 Lake Street, Oak Park; Rudolph A. Clemen, secretary, 650 Garland Ave.. Winnetka."

Supporting organization of Communistorganized and controlled U.S. Congress Against War and represented on similar World Congress of Youth Against War and Fascism by Edwin C. Johnson.

Received \\$12,400 from the "Red" Garland Fund to propagandize against military training in the schools, \\$5,400 of which, according to the Garland Fund 1925-28 official report, was "for preparation and distribution of pamphlet on Military Training in Schools and Colleges in the U.S." by Socialist Winthrop D. Lane. This pamphlet was widely distributed by the closely associated Fellowship of Reconciliation, the League for Industrial Democracy, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, American Civil Liberties Union, all financed in part by the Garland Fund, and to some extent by the Federal Council of Churches. Quarters adjoined the Fellowship of Reconciliation (Room 383) at 387 Bible House, Astor Place, New York City (until the Fellorecon. moved, 1933).

National movement for boycotting Germany, supposedly because of its anti-Jewish activities, organized by Samuel Untermyer of N.Y. City. No one who treasures American freedom wants fascism or Hitlerism for America, but it is only fair to note that Germany had 6,000,000 Communists bent on Red terrorist revolution and that Russian Jews had made themselves prominent in the Red movement, and that Naziism has directed its attacks more against conspiring, revolutionary Communist Jews, than against nationalist German Jews who aided Germany during the war; if it has discriminated against the innocent also, it has been with no such ferocity and loss of life as the planned and imminent Communist revolution would have wreaked upon the German population, had it been successful

"Exposed in the Senate investigation as war obstructors, red, etc., was long list, and afterwards another list was given out in January, 1921 by the Department of Justice, of radicals who controlled radical organizations in the United States. On both lists we find the names of many of the A.C.L.U. officers and committee, including:

"Rev. Norman M. Thomas, Roger N. Baldwin Morris Hillquit, Scott Nearing, James H. Maurer Helen Phelps Stokes, Rabbi Judah L. Magnes Edmund C. Evans, Rev. John Haynes Holmes Frederick C. Howe, Oswald Garrison Villard, Agnes Brown Leach.

"Other A.C.L.U. names on the first list are those of:

"While on the second list are:

"We also find on both lists the names of:
"Prof. Emily Green Balch, H. W. L. Dana of
the Workers' Education Bureau, Lillian D. Wald
of the Foreign Policy Association, Amos R. E.
Pinchot, Louis P. Lochner.

"Other noteworthy names on one or the other lists are:

"Harold Evans, Prof. Wm. I. Hull of Swarthmore and the Rand School, Rev. Frederick Lynch, Kate Richards O'Hare, Jacob Panken, Alexander Trachtenberg, James P. Warbasse, Eugene V. Debs, Mrs. Florence Kelley of the Consumers' League, Charles Recht, Rebecca Shelley (friend of Jane Addams, Lochner, etc.), Isaac A. Hourwich, Lincoln Steffens, J. A. H. Hopkins, Harry A. Overstreet, Dudley Field Malone, Elsie Clews Parsons, Owen R. Lovejoy."

"Connected with the communist American Civil Liberties Union by a system of interlocking committee memberships are a number of other organizations that play into the hands of the communists. Among them are the old Intercollegiate Socialist Society with its name changed to League for Industrial Democracy. This tries to poison the minds of college youths, sponsors college forums, the youth movement, etc. Others are the American Committee for Chinese Relief; the Fellowship of Reconciliation which practically owns the Fellowship of Youth for Peace; the Rand School of Social Science: the Trades Union

Since the above list was published in the Congressional Record, there have been changes in name of some of the agencies, and many additional groups have been organized.

# (NATIONAL) CONSTRUCTION WORKERS UNION

## COOPERATIVE LEAGUE OF U.S.A.

The cooperative movement is intended to eliminate the private store, private industry and individual initiative. The Cooperative League of U.S.A. is part of the National Federation of Consumers Cooperatives and member of the International Cooperative Alliance of which Centro Soyus, the Russian Cooperative, is a member; was approved and financially aided by the Garland Fund; has 145 affiliated societies with approximately 135,000 members; its president, J. P. Warbasse, says in his book "Cooperative Democracy," pp. 258-9: "The ultimate aim of the Consumer's Movement should be to purchase the land from the farmers and employ the latter as an agricultural worker" (abolishing private ownership of property is of course a fundamental principle of Socialism-Communism); hdqts.: 167 W. 12th Street, N.Y. City. (See Central Cooperative Wholesale, a member society.)

The "Communist International," published July, 1928 by the Communist Party of Great Britain, p. 346, stated: "The

# EMERGENCY PEACE FEDERATION

Oct. 1914 to Mar. 1915, and revived Feb. to May, 1917 as a rejuvenation of American Neutral Conf. Com.; organized first by Rosika Schwimmer, Louis Lochner, Jane Addams, and representatives of six Socialist and fifteen Socialist-sympathizing organizations, to propagandize a peace favorable to Germany (Lusk Report); the 1917 revival was aided as well by Mrs. Henry Villard (mother of Oswald Garrison Villard), Emily Greene Balch, Mrs. J. S. Cram, Norman Thomas, Mrs. Warbasse,

Lola M. Lloyd, etc.; a "peace demonstration" of 250 was staged Feb. 12, 1917 at the White House; \\$76,000 was raised in three months and a nation-wide propaganda organization perfected; a letter condemning it, which was received by Congressman Chandler and is reproduced in the Lusk Report, ends: "I cannot believe you will give a moment's consideration to the pro-German propaganda of the so-called Emergency Peace Federation, but I feel that you should hear from those who condemn it as traitorous and dangerous not alone to the United States, but to world civilization."

# EMMA GOLDMAN CIRCLES Anarchist-Communist groups.

# ENGLISH REDS

"The dividing line between Socialism and Communism is an imaginary one, like the equator. The Socialist ('Labour') Party sometimes publicly repudiates Communism; and then elects Communists run the Labour Executive; and Communists run the Labour Rescarch Department. Socialists find excuses for all crimes of the Bolsheviks, who direct and finance Communism all the World over," says the authentic "Potted Biographies" (of Boswell Publishing, Ltd., 10 Essex St., London, W.C., price 6 d), which gives startling facts and extremely interesting political record of 49 Socialists (some belonging to the Communist Party). These "Socialists" are:

## LEEDS CONFERENCE

The "Socialist Network" by N. Webster says: "Amongst the most active supporters of the movement were Ramsay MacDonald the Snowdens and C. G. Ammon, all Ind Labour Party; Chas. Roden Buxton, Pethwick Lawrence and Bertrand Russell, U.D. C.; E. C. Faerchild and Mrs. Dora Montefiore, British Socialist Party; and Sylvia Pankhurst of the Workers Socialist Federation" (which became Communist in 1920)

"Potted Biographies" says: "In June 1917, MacDonald, assisted by Snowden Smillie, Ammon, Anderson, Roden Buxton Mrs. Despard, Mrs. Snowden, and many East End Jews, held a conference at Leeds and agreed to the formation of Workmen's and Soldiers' Councils, on Russian lines

# GENERAL STRIKE

"In 1925 delegates from Moscow were in England arranging with members of the Trades Union Congress for strikes which might develop into revolution; and on May 1, 1926, the great General Strike was declared at a meeting of trade union leaders, when MacDonald said: 'We (the Socialist Party) are there in the battle with you, taking our share uncomplainingly until the end has come and right and justice have been done.' He and J. H. Thomas then joined in singing 'The Red Flag'; and he became a co-opted member of the Strike Committee, which was later charged in a Cabinet paper with 'having held a pistol at the head of Constitutional Government.' . . . Mr. Baldwin said: 'The General Strike will remain forever a stain on the annals of our country.' . . . Miss Ellen Wilkinson" (a Communist made an Ind. Labour Party executive) "took a very active part in the General Strike . . . She toured the country addressing strike meetings. . . . MacDonald in Oct. 1928 said the strike 'as the manifestation of human solidarity was one of the most glorious things that this 20th Century had produced' . . . during the Miners' strike he wrote Miss Ellen Wilkinson in the U.S. . . :" etc.

# EX-SERVICE MEN'S INTERNATIONAL

Communist veterans' organization with which the Workers Ex-Service Men's League (of the U.S.) is affiliated, formed by Communist Henri Barbusse, of France, its president; its purpose is "to make war on war" by bloody Red revolution; teaches soldiers to "turn an imperialist war into civil war"

# FEDERAL COUNCIL SEX PAMPHLET

Full detailed instructions and tests for studying various phases of sex and sexual intercourse by the "discussion method" in an "atmosphere" that is "informal," "frank," and "open minded" are given with the advice that "some leaders report good results in mixed groups." Model "opinion" and "word" tests are given to analyse the reactions of the young people individually to suggestive words and sentences such as: "Light Petting, Heavy Petting, Sex Consciousness in Girls, in Boys, Birth Control, Unmarried Mother, Flaming Youth, Modesty, Free Love, Necking; What sensations come from spooning?; On the basis of the stimulation experienced by men at the touch of some girls what is the stimulation in the girl and is that stimulation more intense at some times than at others?; What can a girl do when she is out with a boy in a car and he stops along the road, turns off the light and says 'Now we can have a good time?'"; etc., etc., etc. The Birth Control report of the Federal Council "Committee on Marriaga and the Home" is quoted in this pamphlet with this addition: "This report contemplates only the use of contraceptives by married people; the facts stated however are of universal

## FEDERATED PRESS

Fed. Press.

Claimed by Communists as their own press service; headed by Carl Haessler of the communist Chgo. Workers School; supplies news to Communist, Socialist, radical, revolutionary papers in the United States; was handsomely aided by the Garland Fund (see "Garland Fund"); the Lusk Report (1920) quotes Roger Baldwin as saying "There was organized sometime in 1908 largely through the activity of Scott Nearing, a small press association known as the International Labor News Service with headquarters at 7 East 15th Street. The active management of the news service was in the hands of Louis P. Lochner.... In December 1919 (it) became the Federated Press. The Federated Press is now serving something over one hundred papers . . . has international connections

with and cable news service from England, Scandinavia, France and Australia. Its news service deals primarily with the labor movement and with revolutionary progress"; U.S. Report 2290 points out that Tass, the Soviet Union Telegraph Agency, has one and the same office and representative at Washington, D.C., with the Federated Press; E. J. Costello, its first manager, after visiting Russia and European countries, to establish connections with revolutionary organizations, was deported from England (1920) as a Red. Louis P. Lochner took charge of the Berlin office used as a publicity outlet by the Third International of Moscow; Carl Haessler supplanted Costello as manager from 1922 on; in 1927 members of the Federated Press executive board were Earl Browder and Arne Swabeck of the executive committee of the Communist Party, W. Maloney, Joseph Schlossberg, Phil Ziegler, John McGivney, Math Tenhunen (prominent Communist), Albert F. Coyle and Frank Palmer; in order to collect funds to aid the Federated Press, a Federated Press League was organized in Chicago, Feb. 4, 1922, with Robert Morss Lovett as president. Wm. Z. Foster was then a member of the executive board of the Federated Press.

# FELLOWSHIP FOR A CHRISTIAN SOCIAL ORDER

Merged about 1929 with the Fellowship of Reconciliation; Kirby Page was chairman of the executive committee.

# FELLOWSHIP OF FAITHS

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" (II Corinth., 6:14.)

Like the Reconciliation Trips (see) of the Fell. Recon., it seeks to propagandize the anti-national internationalism and "reconciliation" of all races and creeds into one, or none, that is part of the program of Communism and Socialism. "How Expand Patriotism into World Consciousness" is a typical program subject. Speakers for the debasing and degrading Hindu, Mohammedan, Pagan and Agnostic Cults are placed in "fellowship" and on an equal footing with speakers for Jesus Christ. The audiences chant a mixture of prayers and ritual from all of these. The savage Mohammedan call of the muezzin as heard in darkest Asia is mingled with the propaganda of the Hindu, Jew and agnostic. Negro choirs and performers give an interracial touch to the meetings. This jumbling of contradictory beliefs leads only to confusion and unbelief, and robs Jesus Christ of His rightful place as the Light of this World. Its bulletins were handed out by the Communist booksellers at the A.S. C.R.R.-L.I.D. Brookhart-Fish debate Mar. 21, 1932. Ignorance of the purposes of its radical sponsors enables it to draw in numerous non-radical dupes who see only the supposed beauty of "fellowship" and "brotherly love" (with paganism).

Radicals of all hues addressed its World Fellowship of Faiths Parliament, held in Chicago, Aug. 27 to Sept. 17, 1933, including Raja Jai Bahadur Singh of India, "founder of the Humanistic Club," an atheistic movement, W. P. Hapgood, Rabbi Hillel Silver, Dean Roscoe Pound, Karl Borders, James M. Yard, Philip LaFollette, Carl D. Thompson, Rosika Schwimmer, Jesse H. Holmes, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Jahez T.

## FOREIGN LANGUAGE GROUPS

The Communist Party central committee operates about 16 Bureaus which control foreign language federations of Lettish, Italian, Hungarian, Finnish, Chinese, Ukrainian, Czechoslovak, Albanian, Polish, Jewish, Esthonian, Lithuanian, Russian, Spanish, Armenian, Japanese groups. Each federation is composed of various "Workers" clubs, cultural and insurance societies, etc., called "mass organizations," officered and controlled by "Party fractions" (or "nuclei" of Party members). These "fractions" hold separate meetings and are expected to control, in accordance with instructions, the "mass" group. The Federation pays a per capita membership fee to the Communist Party as a federation. Many of the federation members are not individual members of the Party. The policy in fact of the Communist Party is that all party members must be active Party workers and organizers and control

from ten to fifty or more non-party members each by officering and boring from within mass groups in order to influence, bring and hold these groups under Communist control. Each federation has a secretary and an official Communist publication in its own language. A secretary of all the federations directs activities from N.Y. City. There are 8 daily foreign language Communist newspapers published in the United States and, besides the publications of the foreign language federations named above, there are Greek, Armenian, Bohemian, German, Bulgarian, Rumanian, Portuguese, Slovak, Jugo Slav,

# FOREIGN POLICY ASSOCIATION

Dewey, wm. E. Boran.

James G. McDonald, who has been the Foreign Policy Assn. chairman since 1919 and who gives radio addresses for the Assn. about foreign affairs, in a speech before the Phila. branch stated that Soviet Russia wished to maintain peace, "But intentions are hampered frequently by the activities of the Russian Communist Party and the Third International neither of which the government has power to control." To this false statement, long used by the Communists when trying to side step retaliation for their own activities patriotic Ralph Easely retorted by showing that the executive committees of the Third International, the Soviet Government and the Communist Party of Russia are practically identical, Stalin, Buhkarin, Tchitcherin, Rykoff, for example, being on all three, also by quoting Pravda's official statements concerning their plans for world revolution. He commented on McDonald's statement that he had never felt he knew enough about alleged Bolshevik activities in America to warrant the expression of a positive opinion, by saying: "If you can display such ignorance in the matter of Red propaganda in a country where you have lived for years, how reliable would you be likely to be in telling what is happening in Europe and Asia where you spent only a few months on a tour last summer?"

## FRAZIER AMENDMENT

Senator Lynn Frazier's proposal to amend the Constitution of the U.S. so as to disarm and render the U.S. virtually defenseless; introduced for the third time at U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing April 13, 1930; backed by the Women's Peace Union, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Fellowship of Reconciliation, War Resisters International, American Friends Service Committee, Pa. Committee for Total Disarmament; the Amendment reads: "War for any purpose shall be illegal, and neither the U.S. nor any state, territory, association or person subject to its jurisdiction shall prepare for, declare, engage in or carry on war or other armed conflict, expedition, invasion or undertaking within or without the U.S. nor shall any funds be raised, appropriated or expended for such purpose."

## FREE SOCIETY

"Nov. the 11th marks an epoch in the history of the working class in America . . . four anarchists were hanged in Chicago.

At the meeting at which this manifesto was distributed, Ben Reitman spoke and in answer to questions declared that he is still an Anarchist. He read a letter from his old amour, Emma Goldman, who expressed hope of returning to the U.S.A. under the Roosevelt administration. She was planning to organize meetings in Canada and meet the comrades from the U.S.A. on Canadian soil meantime. Her "slip of paper" marriage for the purpose of giving her English citizenship would admit her to Canada. Ben criticized her for being temporarily downhearted at her exile from the U.S.A. and for her antagonism toward Russia (which he favors). Her wonderful work for Anarchism should be enough to keep her happy, he declared. He said that he was most optimistic, after having spoken in a Theological Seminary, at Chicago University, and to a Methodist group during the preceding week, at the way the students and particularly the theological students were coming along in radicalism. The seizure of the whole Hormel Plant at Austin, Minn., by red strikers was another encouraging sign of the times, he said.

M. Olay (Spanish anarchist) presided. He represents the Chicago anarchists in united front activities, such as the Ky. Miners Def. and Relief Com. of the I.W.W., Nat. Mooney Coun. of Action of the Communists, etc., and as a contributor to the book "Recovery Through Revolution" (see)

The Chicago groups are conducting weekly forums for the 4th year every Sunday night at the socialist Workmen's Circle school, 1241 N. California Ave. Other anarchist forums (in English) are at:

City; "Dielo Truda," Chicago.

"Sir:

"It is generally known that the practice prevails, in the Public Schools of this City, of opening the sessions by reading selections from a book commonly known as "The Bible," together with the singring of religious hymns \*\*\*\*

"As a resident of the City of New York, property owner and a taxpayer, I hereby notify you that I demand that this illegal practice be discontinued, and that the reading of 'The Bible, and all other religious exercises, in the schools be storned."

"Unless this is promptly done, and I an advised by you within the next 10 days, or two weeks, that 'Bible' reading and psalm singin in the Public Schools will be prohibited and ended I shall file a Taxpayer's Suit to enjoin this illegal practice.

"Yours sincerely, (Signed) "Joseph Lewis, "President."

The suit was filed and was being carried on to the Supreme Court by the American Civil Liberties Union (see) (May 3, 1932 issue "American Teacher"). One wonders how minister members of the A.C.L.U. can hold up their heads for shame who presume to serve Jesus Christ and the Bible while paying for and backing such a suit!

Ella Winter's letter, written on stationery headed "Lincoln Steffens, Carmel, California, The Gateway, Box 855," is significant. She says:

"Dear Mr. Lesser: I am shocked and astounded to read the news that you are releasing a picture on Russia called "The Truth About Russia" by Carveth Wells. . . Such a showing as you contemplate can only discredit your studio as every American correspondent in Russia and such well-known figures in American literary, professional and business-life as Sherwood Anderson, Col.

# G GARLAND FUND

The AMERICAN FUND FOR PUBLIC SERVICE is popularly known as the "Garland Fund" or the "Free Love Fund" because it was founded by a radical, Chas. Garland of Mass., who served a term in the penitentiary for running a "Free Love Funm". Being an opponent of private ownership of property, he turned over his inheritance to form this fund in order to further the radical cause. The Fund's official report states that between 1922, when it was founded, and 1930, \\$1,378,000 was given away and \\$780,000 loaned. (The Fund is practically exhausted now.) To quote: "The Board of Directors of the Fund is a self perpetuating group, the directors serving for terms of three years each. The original directors were picked out as persons of diverse connections with adical, labor and liberal movements, who, despite philosophical differences, were practical-minded enough to deal harmoniously with immediate issues." These directors have been members of the I.W.W., Communist and Socialist parties, which are all basically aiming for the same ends—the abolition of the property right and the undermining and eventual overthrow of our present form of government—the differences between them being largely those of stress on certain tactics, such as use of violence or of parliamentary action, to gain control.

the Fund asking for money for a legitimate labor cause and was refused, Roger Baldwin of the Fund replying that: "We do not see our way clear to financing any enterprise except those definitely committed to a radical program . . . ", etc.

The original directors and officers were (from the Fund's report of July 31, 1923,

"for the first year of operation"):

Roger N. Baldwin, Wm. Z. Foster, Lewis S. Gannett, Sidney Hillman, James Weldon Johnson (colored), Robt. Morss Lovett, Scott Nearing, Mary E. McDowell, Judah L. Magnes, Norman M. Thomas, Harry F. Ward, Morris L. Ernst, Walter Nelles.

The report of June 30, 1924, "for the second year," lists:

Scott Nearing, pres.; Robt. Morss Lovett, vice pres.; Roger N. Baldwin, sec.; Morris L. Ernst, treas.; Walter Nelles, counsel, and Eliz. Gurley Flynn, Wm. Z. Foster, Lewis S. Gannett, Clinton S. Golden, James Weldon Johnson, Freda Kirchwey, Norman M. Thomas, Leo Wolman, fellow directors.

## FOR ANARCHIST-COMMUNIST ACTIVITIES

The inextricable interweaving of Red forces is shown not only in the personnel of the Fund's directorship but also in the organizations it has supported. Studying the Fund's reports is like studying the whole Red network. Socialists, Communists and I.W.W.'s intermingle in organizations, on committees and in practically all Red activities. One sees, for example, in the reports the sums of \\$500 and \\$500 donated to the anarchist-communist Ferrer or Modern School at Stelton, N.J., aided by Emma Goldman and Berkman. In 1925-6, \\$1125 and \\$875 were given to

to the Equity Printing Co. (owned by the IWW)

Harry F. Ward, director of the Fund in 1922 and chmn. of the A.C.L.U., had shown his friendly spirit of cooperation with the defense of the I.W.W. murderers of four American Legion men at Centralia, Wash., by presiding over a meeting held at the Rand School, N.Y.C., Feb. 9, 1920, to raise money for their defense (Lusk Report). The Fund, later, donated to "Centralia Publicity Committee—For publicity in connection with release of Centralia prisoners

The Rand School, at which the I.W.W. defense meeting and so many other Red meetings have been held, must practically have been supported by the Fund, to judge by the contributions, sums of \\$5,000, \\$3,200, \\$400, \\$4,400, \\$7,200, \\$10,140, \\$16,116, \\$7,957.26, etc., being listed from time to time, and large sums to the Rand Book Store for publication of the "Am. Labor Year Book" (covering radical activities).

Recobesio

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (N.A.A.C.P.) was well cared for with appropriations of \\$31,552 (1925-28), \\$7,365 in 1923-24, and

a loan of \\$5,000 in 1929-30.

Significant items are these: "Teachers Union, N.Y.C." (1) "towards the campaign for the repeal of Lusk Laws \\$500"; (2) "For research and publicity work outside of regular activities, mimeograph machine, \\$3,172.50"; the Teachers Union also recd. \\$6,000 in a three-year period for "operating expenses"; the "Minneapolis Federation of Teachers, Mpls., Minn.—for legal expenses and publicity in connection with dismissal of two members—\\$250"; "American Federation of Teachers—\\$2,000"; and "The New Student, N.Y.C.—for traveling expenses of editors of college papers to conference—\\$333.06."

1928-30).

Sacco and Vanzetti, the gentle Anarchist murderers and thieves who died yelling "Long Live Anarchy," recd. loving aid as well; "Provisional Committee for calling Sacco and Vanzetti conference, N.Y.C., expenses in connection with meeting—\\$1,000"; "Sacco-Vanzetti Defense Committee—\\$20,000" (loan), and gift of \\$2,500. Between 1925 and 1928, \\$11,000 was given to "Sacco-Vanzetti case."

Intellectual-Red papers and periodicals were evidently considered suitable agencies, for the New Republic (the Fund director, Robt. Morss Lovett, being an editor) recd. a loan of \\$1,000, "for book on "The Supreme Court and Minimum Wage Legislation," published by National Consumers League"; The World Tomorrow (of Kirby Page) recd. "for general expenses—\\$3,000" (1925), \\$1,000 (1923), \\$2,000 (1924); and to "Fellowship Press, N.Y.C.—For operating expenses of the World Tomorrow, to Dec. 31, 1925, (May 27)—\\$3,000," etc.

The Socialist New Leader recd. large sums, as did Labor Age (organ of the Conf. Prog. Lab. Act.); one item was "For financing testimonial dinner to James

Maurer—\\$250.

The reports are peppered with donations to the *LI.D.*, which changed its name from "Intercollegiate Socialist Society" after the unsavory Socialist War record, in order not to frighten off prospective student members, but which now grows ever bolder and bolder in its talk of Red Revolution. That it was always considered a useful organization is shown by gifts of \\$6,400 the first year; \\$3,500 and \\$2,000 the second year "for field secretary's salary" and "for field secretary's traveling expenses, contingent upon raising their budget for the year"; between 1925 and 1928, \\$10,500 was given for "field secretary's salary"; also (1) "For study on Coal and Superpower by *H. Stephen Raushenbush*—\\$5,000." (2) "For survey of conditions in cotton mills in the South by *Paul Blanshard*—\\$700." (3) "For study on 'New Developments of Capitalism in the U.S.'—\\$600"; and many thousands for publication of pamphlets (to be found in student Y.M.C.A.'s such as at N.U., Evanston).

1925-28, \\$6,227, 1928-30, and other sums. W. E. B. Du Bois was paid \\$5,000 for services evidently considered valuable to the cause. "For expenses Albert Coyle's trip to Mexico \\$549.64"; "For expenses of trip to Pa. and W. Va. coal fields by Louis Budenz—\\$321.29." These last two items appear under Federated Press gifts for the year 1025 26. Il Navya Monda, a daily

# FOR "PACIFISM"

For "Studies of American Imperialism (research and publication) — \\$27,956" (1925-28), is a staggering item indicating to what pains the Fund went to discredit America by propaganda representing the U.S. as "bullying" and "imperialistic." Red intellectuals hired to "research" must have been well pleased at this appropriation.

The Communist Workers International Relief, many radical "Labor" schools, periodicals, Pioneer Camps, and "Summer Schools for Workers in Industry," were financed; for the I.W.W.'s, "Wayne, Alberta, Canada—for relief to striking miners, \\$500"; and the "Speakers Service Bureau" recd. \\$12,500. Donations to the Labor Bureau were \\$1,107.24, \\$1,000, \\$381.07; to the Bureau of Industrial Research, N.Y. "for Mr. Raushenbush's studies on coal situation—\\$5,700"; "Midland Empire Coop. Publishing Co., Billings, Mont.—for 4 Farmer-Labor papers—\\$1,500"; "Oklahoma Leader, Oklahoma City—\\$6,000"; "Camp Tamiment, Forest Park, Pa." recd. help; "Trade Union Committee for organizing Negro Workers" recd. \\$2.434 and \\$600.

"In order to get a complete picture of the enterprises in the labor and radical movements in the U.S., a survey was made jointly by Roger Baldwin and Stuart Chase . . . ", so a Fund report says (It covered them nicely it would seem); and "after being assured of the sound management of an enterprise, of the effectiveness of its directing personnel and the significance of its objects, the Fund has given or loaned without further questions."

# GRIFFIN BILL COMMITTEE

## Н

Various committees, such as the American Committee for Justice to China, American Committee for Fair Play to China, American Committee for Chinese Relief, and Hands Off China Committees, were formed under Communist inspiration to create propaganda against U.S. interference in China when Red revolutionaries

The Marvin Data Sheets report: that Communist Manuel Gomez speaking at a meeting of the "Hands Off China Committee" in Chicago, May 8, 1927, said his organization, the Communist All-America Anti-Imperialist League, had formed 172 Hands Off China Committees in the United States and England; that Carl Haessler presided at this meeting and Jane Addams spoke, as did also Chandra Sena Gooneratne, "a Hindu U. of Chgo. student said to be an active propagandist in the U.S. for a revolution in India similar to the one going on in China"; Marvin adds that, counting the "Hands Off Nicaragua" (Nicaragua was then seething under Communist-supported Gen. Sandino) and "Hands Off Mexico" Committees formed for similar purposes, the total number of Communistinspired "Hands Off" Committees organized then was probably around 250.

A full page advertisement in the World Tomorrow of Aug. 1925 said that Harry Ward and Paul Blanshard were then in Shanghai and had cabled a request asking for immediate funds to aid the Chinese Communist group then in charge of the Hankow government, saying there was little financial support from Russia and urging the stopping of "every effort to use American gunboats, American money and American men to fasten foreign im-

perialism on China." This cablegram was quoted with the appeal that contributions be sent to the Garland Fund to aid this cause; and the appeal was signed by Kirby Page, Robt. Morss Lovett and Rose Schneidermann

The N.Y. Herald Tribune of April 27th, 1927 referred to Harry Ward as Chairman of the executive committee of the American Committee for Justice to China, the same article referring to "another plea for justice received by William Pickens of the Hands Off China Association from Earl Browder, American Communist editor, who went to China as a delegate to labor conference there and since Feb. 23 has

The first Humanist Society of New York was founded by a New York preacher, Chas. Francis Potter, several years ago. A 1933 conference on Humanism of about 40 ministers and educators meeting in Chicago, signed the following resolutions said to have been drawn up originally by Prof. Roy Sellers of the U. of Michigan and made public by Roy Powend Press

Chicago Unitarian minister.

"Religious humanists regard the universe as self-

secular can no longer be maintained

"We assume that humanism will take the path of social and mental hygiene, and discourage sentimental and unreal hopes and wishful thinking

"The goal of humanism is a free and universal occiety in which people voluntarily and intelligently opporate for the common good

Without Il Nuovo Mondo the long Sacco-Vanzetti campaign could never have been carried on," and solicited funds to aid the campaign of Il Nuovo Mondo "to amend our immigration laws so that the right of asylum for political prisoners from other lands . . . may be assured."

# INTERCOLLEGIATE STUDENT COUNCIL

2nd International: After a 13-year interval, during which there was no Socialist International, a Congress at Brussels, in 1889, founded the 2nd Intl. and set up an Intl. Socialist Bureau composed of three delegates from each of the Socialist or Labor Parties of the various countries represented. Altho Karl Marx had died in 1883, this 2nd Intl. was more purely Marxian than the 1st had ever been owing to the long educational agitation by his followers. By 1893 the 2nd Intl. had become completely Germanized (according to Adolphe Smith, Official Interpreter of the Congresses from the outset). Altho Congresses held in Brussels, 1891, Zurich, 1893, London, 1896, Paris, 1900, Amsterdam, 1904, Stuttgart, 1907, Copenhagen, 1910, Basle, 1912, each one developed increasing Socialist internationalism or "class solidarity" as opposed to patriotism, yet at the outbreak of the World War temporary disruption of the 2nd Intl. occurred because so many of its 12,000,000 members in 27 countries, with the exception of those in America and Italy, adhered to their countries instead of to their Socialist principles. While some in each country hindered and sabotaged their governments, yet because of the general weakening of internationalism, present day Communists refer to the 2nd Intl. as the "Yellow International."

After the war, conferences held Feb. 2, 1919 at Berne, in April, 1919 at Amsterdam, and at Lucerne, Aug. 2, 1919, revived the 2nd Intl., not however without violent dissension concerning leadership, tactics, cooperation with the Bolshevik Socialists, etc., these points causing splits in some national parties and a going-over en masse of others to the 3rd International, then being formed.

Facsimile of notice urging support of Communist Barbusse meeting, which was jointly sponsored by the Chicago Committee for Struggle Against War and the Chicago Committee of the communist National Committee to Aid Victims of German Fascism, Communist Barbusse being an international officer of both organizations. This Chicago Committee for S.A.W. was called to the platform to occupy seats of honor. John Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, although a member, sidestepped an invitation to speak as a representative of the A.F. of L., according to "Anti-Fascist Action" (magazine of the Cheo. Com. of Nat. Com. to Aid Victims of German Fascism), which was sold at the meeting.

gates to Moscow, where, as a result, Mar. 2-6, 1919, 32 delegates representing 12 countries founded the 3rd International, or Komintern as it is sometimes called (from a combination of Russian words Kommunistitcheski Internazional). The platform proposed in the call (quoted in full in Lusk Report) included: "taking possession at once of the governmental power... in order to replace it by the apparatus of proletarian power. (4) The dictatorship of the proletariat should aim at the immediate expropriation of capitalism and the suppression of private property and its transfer to the proletarian state under Socialist administration of the working class. (5) In order to make the Socialist revolution secure, the disarming of the bourgeoisie and of its agents and the general arming of the proletariat are necessary." (Naturally, disarmament is backed by Communists everywhere for this purpose.) "(6) The fundamental condition of the state is the mass action of the proletariat going as far as open conflict with arms in hand against the governmental power of capitalism," etc. Sept. 8, 1919, a Manifesto was sent out urging all revolutionaries, whether I.W.W., Anarchist, of Socialist, to unite in forming a united Communist Party.

"That every writer in the group attach himself to one of the industries. That he spend the next few years in and out of this industry, studying it from every angle, making himself an expert in it, so that when he writes of it he will write like an insider, not like a bourgeois intellectual observer. He will help on the publicity in strikes, etc. He will have his roots in something real. The old Fabians used to get together and write essays based on the books they had read. We will get close

to the realities.

The Detroit branch publishes a monthly magazine, "The New Force," at 8224 Twelfth St., Detroit, Mich.; the Chicago branch, 1475 S. Michigan Ave., started publishing (June, 1933) a magazine, "Left Front," which issue announced that Speakers during the 1932-33 season "have

## LAROR DEFENDER

## LABOR DEFENSE COUNCIL

Organized by the Communist Party Central Executive Committee in 1922, to raise

"Dear Friend: The press has brought you information of the progress of the trial of the so-called Michigan cases at St. Joseph. Every day it becomes clearer that the issue in this trial is the right of free speech and free assemblage in America.

. . . A group of men and women met together peacefully to consider the business of their party organization contemplating no acts of violence and cherishing no intent to promote or induce acts of violence, was itself treated with utmost violence by the officers of the law." (Author's note: This typical Red falsehood is daily refuted by the Communists' own spoken and written affirmations, for instance the following in the Marx "Communist Manifesto": "Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution" (p. 44).) This letter, after soliciting funds, was signed "Sincerely yours, Freda Kirchwey, Norman Thomas, John Nevin Sayre, Mary Heaton Vorse, Roger Baldwin, Percy Stickney Grant, Paxton Hibben, John Haynes Holmes." (Their own signatures.) Printed on the side of the letterhead was:

National Committee: Roger N. Baldwin (A.C. L.U.); Norman B. Barr (Chicago, Director Olivet Institute); Dennis E. Batt (Proletarian Party, Detroit); Robt. M. Buck (editor "New Majority," Farmer-Labor Party); Eugene V. Debs (revolutionary Socialist Party leader); Eliz, Gurley Flynn (Workers Defense Union of N.Y.); Moritz J. Loeb (Civil Liberties Union and Communist Party); Eugene J. Brock (chmn. Progressive Voters' League of Michigan); John C. Clay (Sec. Teamsters' Local Union 712, Chgo.); Lenetta M. Cooper, Chgo.; John C. Flora, Chgo.; John Haynes Holmes, N.Y.; Max S. Hayes, Cleveland; Francis Fisher Kane, Phila.; Dr. John A. Lapp, Director National Catholic Welfare Council; John J. Taylor, Detroit; Hulet M. Wells, Seattle; Geo, P. West, San Francisco. N.Y. Local Committee: H. Berlin (Intl. Ladies Garm. Wkrs. U.), Eliz. Gurley Flynn, Henry R. Linville, Nerma Berman (Nat. Defense Com.); Brounstein (Jt. Bd. Furriers' Union); Benj. Mandel (Teachers Union), etc. Headquarters were also at 166 W. Washington St., Chicago.

"One of the first things done by the organization was the appointment of a publicity department to flood the daily newspapers of the country with propaganda for the movement. 'Press Releases' were issued and spread broadcast. Much of the material thus furnished was printed in reputable newspapers ignorant of the fact that they were printing appeals for a movement aimed at the overthrow of the country." (Whitney's "Reds in America," p. 174.) The Reds completely won this fight and the right apparently in Michigan to openly advocate violent overthrow of the U.S. Government when these cases were dismissed and about \\$100,000 bond money was returned in 1933 through the aid of Patrick H. O'Brien, A.C.L.U. attorney, elected Atty. General of Michigan in 1932.

Militant Socialist; headed by Robt Morss Lovett, active in Communist organizations; founded by the revolutionary Jack London in 1905 as the Intercollegiate Socialist Society; changed its name in 1921 after Socialism acquired a bad odor owing to the jailing of many Socialists during the war for seditious activities; heavily subsidized by Garland Fund; spreads Socialist-Communist propaganda and literature in colleges; operates chapters of its Intercollegiate Student Council in about 140 colleges, many under the guise of "Student Councils," "Social Problems," "Radical" or "Socialist" Clubs, etc.; in 1933 it claimed: "Last year the speakers corps of the L.I.D. reached almost every state in the union and spoke to some 175,000 people. Norman Thomas, Harry Laidler, Paul Blanshard, Paul Porter and Karl Borders reached about 60,000 students in 160 colleges and universities in 40 states. Likewise they spoke to about 100,000 people in noncollege meetings. In addition to these speeches there were innumerable general meetings, political meetings, and radio broadcastings at which L. I.

upheaval to come.

The first page of the L.I.D. "Student Outlook" for Feb. 1933 is headed "Wanted: Students With Guts" and says in part: "it is questionable whether the student who hasn't guts enough to get out on his college campus and hawk the Student Outlook will overcome his delicate scruples if the time comes to face tear gas and machine guns. The same sort of well-bred doubts and inertia that afflict one when saddled with the responsibility of escorting a petition or putting up posters will arise more urgently and subtly if the time should come to refuse to go to war or to picket the Chicago Tribune. . . . If you have enlisted under the banners of Socialism you've got to carry the job through." A special announcement on this page states: "With this issue 'Revolt' becomes the 'Student Outlook.' Students felt it was more important to sell our magazine and convince by its contents than to shout 'revolution' and have no one listen. Persons who give us more than a glance will not mistake our colors."

In a letter published in the Nation, Feb. 3, 1932, Paul Porter, L.I.D. organizer, valiantly defended the L.I.D. from the charge by a Nation correspondent (Mr. Allen) that the L.I.D. conference "Guiding the Revolution" was an "example of liberal futility" and retorts: "Had Mr. Allen attended the conference or secured a published report of the proceedings... he would have discovered (1) that the conference was not a talk-fest of liberals and (2) that the student participants were not wholly innocent of experience in the class struggle," and, after bragging about Arnold Johnson's "five weeks' jail residence" and other student activities "in the course of which more than one has been beaten by thugs" he says: "Unless Mr. Allen expects a revolution to be suddenly produced as a magician might whisk a rabbit from a silk topper, he will recognize the necessity for these humble beginnings. They are tasks in which even college students and college graduates and readers of the Nation may share. Paul Porter."

# NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR PREVENTION OF WAR

N C for P W

Seymour Waldman, editor of the N.C. for P.W. "International Disarmament Notes," 1931-32, in October 1933 became head of the Washington bureau of the communist "Daily Worker." Has been called "a clearing house for Socialist-Communist pacifist propaganda"; formed Sept. 1921 under chairmanship of a Foreign Policy Assn. officer; its director, Frederick J. Libby, to quote Arthur Sears Henning, "has gained national notoriety for utterances widely regarded as unpatriotic and which were the cause of the board of education of the District of Columbia barring him from speaking in the Washington public schools. Libby is leading the movement for the abolition of military training in schools. . . Libby was a prime mover in organizing the propaganda to deter the President from withdrawing recognition from the Calles government if American properties should be confiscated. . Libby has espoused the Calles side of the oil and alien land law controversy." (See Mexican Propaganda.) ". . One of the common aims of the pacifist and radicals is to weaken the military preparedness of the United States for national defense. The most active pacifist or granization is the National Council for Prevention of War which expends \\$85,000 a year as a clearing the common and the council for Prevention of War which expends \\$85,000 a year as a clearing the common and the council for Prevention of War which expends \\$85,000 a year as a clearing the common and the council for Prevention of War which expends \\$85,000 a year as a clearing the council for the council for the council for Prevention of War which expends \\$85,000 a year as a clearing the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for the council for

These component organizations of the National Council expend independently, partly or wholly on pacifist propaganda an aggregate of more than \\$500,000 a year. Other members of the Foreign Policy Association directorate who are also members of the directorate of the National Council for Prevention of War are Jane Addams, Katherine Ludington, Wm. Allen White, Bishop Francis J. McConnell, James G. McDonald and Bishop G. Ashton Oldham." (From Arthur Sears Henning's "Government by Propaganda.") Five of the cooperating organizations mentioned above are red Garland Fund protegés.

In 1927 it claimed to have sent out "more than 1,000,000 pieces of literature" to 13,600 newspapers, 75,000 ministers and others, against the President's naval program alone, to have voted a budget of \\$113,000 for 1928 and maintained a staff of 11 persons in the two offices in Washington and California with 7 stenographers, 14 clerks, and 3 "speakers in the fields."

# NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR PROTECTION OF FOREIGN BORN WORKERS

Nat. Coun. for Prot. For. Bn. Wkrs.

Henry T. Hunt was legal advisor. The Communist Daily Worker, Dec. 19, 1927 told of a conference of the N.Y. Council addressed by Robt. W. Dunn and Dr. Edmund B. Chaffee of the Labor Temple (of the Presbyterian Church). Marvin says the advisory board of the N.Y. Council was in 1927

"Composed of Adolph Blumfield, Louis F. Budenz, August Burkhardt (gen. sec. Amalgamated Food Workers), Stuart Chase, P. E. Cosgrove, Solon de Leon. Marion Finn Scott, G. E. Powers, Robt. H. Haskell, John Dos Passos, Joseph Freeman, Paxton Hibben, I. A. Kittine, Horace Liveright, Ludwig Lore, Scott Nearing, Chas. W. Wood, Arthur Calhoun, Rev. A. Wakefield Statin

"All of the above are Communists or Socialists or closely allied with the Communist-Socialist movement in the United States. Both the Communists and Socialists openly state their purpose is to destroy the government of the U.S. . . . On Jan. 9, 1926 a luncheon conference in opposi-

tion" (to alien registration and deportation bills) "was held at Hotel Astor, N.Y. City. At this meeting the bills were denounced in no uncertain terms by Max J. Kohler, the prominent pacifist Sherwood Eddy, the Rev. Chas. K. Gilbert of the Federal Council of Churches and Florence F. Cassidy of the Y.W.C.A. of Bridgeport, Conn. A letter of denouncement from the Immigrants' Protective League of Chicago, upon whose directorate appear the names of Jane Addams, Prof. Ernst Freund, Julia C. Lathrop and other equally well-known radicals was read." (Marvin Data Sheets, 56-16 and 34-2.)

A publicity bureau for the various organizations represented on its directorship, namely: the A.C.L.U., Socialist Party, L.I.D., Public Ownership League (its affiliate), the Peoples Legislative Service, and the Conference for Progressive Political Action. Judson King, now Pres. Roosevelt's Research Investigator for Tennessee Valley Authority, is its active director, although ex-Senator Robt. L. Owen is listed as president. Started in 1913, it has consistently advocated government ownership of the key industries of the nation in true Socialist style, as might be expected with seven officers of Carl Thompson's Public Ownership League at various times serving on its directing committee (Wm. H. Johnston, Carl S. Vrooman, Father John A. Ryan, John R. Haynes, James H. McGill, and the deceased Delos F. Wilcox and Wm. Kent), and also eight executives of the People's Legislative Service (Senator Geo. W. Norris, Wm. H. Johnston, J. H. McGill, Jackson Ralston, Prof. E. A. Ross, Edw. Keating, Father John A. Ryan, Wm. Kent). W. H. Johnston also called the Conference for Progressive Political Action (see) at Cleveland, July 4, 1924, which nominated LaFollette for President and gave impetus to the fashion of calling radicals "progressives."

Twelve Lawyers."

The "Report Upon the Illegal Practises of the U.S. Department of Justice" was issued May 27, 1920 by Judson King and signed by the twelve lawyers, who were: Felix Frankfurter, Ernst Freund, and David Wallerstein, all of the Red-aiding A.C.L.U. national committee; Jackson H. Ralston and Francis Fisher Kane of the A.C.L.U.; and Zechariah Chafee, Jr. of Harvard Law School, R. G. Brown, Judge Alfred Niles, Swinburn Hale, Frank P. Walsh, Dean Roscoe Pound (Harvard Law Sch.), and Tyrrell Williams.

(Emphasis mine.)

It prints propaganda such as that of Communist Robert Whitaker of Los Angeles (see), one of its correspondents and national committeemen who says in the same issue: "It is no longer a question of the need of a revolution; the question is as to the method of bringing the revolution to pass... To this conclusion I have very definitely come: that there is little hope of making any considerable change in the psychology of the masses except as the sequence of radical social action outside of respectable ranks; that the work of revolt will have to be carried through in two sections, the first of these, the long-suffering and no longer quiescent disinherited and unemployed, who will respond to their desperation rather than to any well digested education, the second, a trained and disciplined group who will know how to function in a Lenin-leadership when the hour of opportunity comes. Consequently our concern is to build the understanding leadership for the crisis from those who need no longer the milk of infantile adaptations to their timidities and polite prejudices but are ready to talk business and digest the strong meat of direct revolution-

Excerpts from the address of the pro-Soviet "Brain Trustee," Rex. Guy Tugwell, delivered before the American Economic Assn., 1932 and entitled "The Principle of Planning and the Institution of Laissez Faire," appeared in the Jan. 1933 issue. To quote: "Planning will necessarily become a function of the federal government; either that or the planning agency will supersede that government, which is why, of course, such a scheme will eventually be assimilated to the state rather than possess some of its powers without its responsibilities. Business will logically be required to disappear. This is not an overstatement for the sake of emphasis; it is literally meant. The essence of business is its free venture for profits in an unregulated economy. Planning implies guidance of capital uses . . . adjustment of production to consumption . . . the insurance of adequate buying capacity.

as the automobile industry did; they will have to be foreseen, to be argued for, or seem probably desirable features of the whole economy before they can be entered upon. . . . There is no denying that the

contemporary situation in the United States has explosive possibilities. The future is becoming visible in Russia; the present is bitterly in contrast; politicians, theorists and vested interests seem to conspire ideally for the provocation to violence of a long patient people. No one can pretend to know how the release of this pressure is likely to come. Perhaps our statesmen will give way or be more or less gently removed from duty; perhaps our constitutions and statutes will be revised; perhaps our vested interests will submit to control without too violent resistance. It is difficult to believe that any of these will happen; it seems just as incredible that we may have a revolution. Yet the new kind of economic machinery we have in prospect cannot function in our present economy. The contemporary situation is one in which all the choices are hard; yet one of them has to be made." (Tugwell is now Asst. "Commissar" of Agriculture and leader of Roosevelt's Rain Trust)

Melen-Louise Porter

Wy dear Lir. Waters:

I regret that the Foundation is unable to help you carry forward the work you outline in your letter. We believe that the primary job today is one of achieving economic justice. We believe that this will require revolutionary changes in our social and economic order. Therefore, instead of attacking Soviet Russia, we are anxious to appreciate the contributions which it has made and, at the same time, build here in this section of the world an order that has all of the values of the one that is being created in the Soviet Union, without the sacrifice of other important values.

Said Marvin (Daily Data Sheets 28-4 and 5, March 9, 1927): "The 'center' organization in the city of New York engaged in propaganda against the United States and in favor of the Socialist-Communist scheme to Sovietize Mexico and all Central American States is easily located in what is called the Non-Intervention Citizens Committee. Through the members of this committee the work ramifies into more than one hundred organizations some of them openly Socialistic and Communistic, while others are legitimate enough but appear to be in the hands of clever Adepts. . . . Those dominating and controlling as will be shown are Socialists or Communists. As such they believe our entire system is wrong and should be destroyed. They hold to the theory that any form of nationalism backed up by any form of patriotism should be destroyed. . . . The inspiration for this organization came from Moscow, via Mexico. Its object is to aid Moscow in Mexico. Because of its nature and purposes one is forced to ask the question: Who is doing the financing for the nation-wide propaganda scheme now being carried on in the interests of Mexico and its

PEOPLE'S COUNCIL OF AMERICA

People's Coun.

According to its own literature and the Lusk Report, it was "'modeled after the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Councils, the sovereign power of Russia today," whose "Proclamation to the People of the Whole World" appealing for Red revolution everywhere and saying "Proletarians of all countries unite! . . . Long live the international solidarity of the proletariat and its struggle for final victory" signed by the "Petrograd Council of Workers and Soldiers Deputies" was reprinted and widely distributed in the People's Council Bulletin of Aug. 17, 1917 with the note: "The original copy of this bulletin was smuggled over to this country." The Lusk Report says: "We have in Lochner's running footnotes in the People's Council Bulletin of Aug. 7, 1917 'proof of the altogether socialistic cooperation of these People's Councillors as well as a forecast of the Bolshevist revolution of Nov. 1917'"; a telegram sent March 3, 1918, signed by Lochner, Scott Nearing and James Maurer, to the "People's Commissars at Petrograd" said: "People's Council of America for democratic peace representing 300 radical groups in 42 states has consistently stood for Russian formula of

Of the communist I.L.D.; "Organized under the Auspices of the International Labor Defense to Help Political Prisoners and Dependents—80 East 11th St., Room 338, New York City," says the letterhead of this organization. It solicits funds to provide \\$5 each month "to every political prisoner in the United States" and "To dependent families of prisoners the Fund attempts to send \\$20 a month." "Political prisoners" is the radical term for those prisoners who are jailed for revolutionary and seditious crimes. They are treated therefore as the honored martyrs of the Red Revolutionary movement by their sympathizers. The following names are listed on the letterhead Dec. 1032:

An A.C.L.U. publication. Its distribution was listed as "Work in Hand" for 1927 in the A.C.L.U. 1926 Report. The book was edited by Norman Hapgood, whose wife was then a director of the American Society for Cultural Relations with Russia, a Communist subsidiary. It ran serially in the communist Daily Worker (June 1927) as Communist pprpaganda. In it, Hapgood attempts to show that all outstanding patriotic societies which fight the A.C.L.U. and Communism are motivated in doing so by greedy commercialism or cowardice. The term "professional patriot" was eagerly taken up by the Reds and is now popularly used by them to scornfully describe anyone who opposes them

# PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION ASSOCIATION

Prog. Edu. Assn.

Hon. pres. John Dewey; Leroy Bowman, Arthur E. Morgan, Joshua Lieberman, Carleton Washburne, Harold Rugg, E. C. Lindeman, Alvin Johnson, and other radicals serve as directors and advisory board members.

Says Francis Ralston Welsh, Nov. 20, 1933: "We learn from yesterday's papers that the Progressive Education Association (Pink, yellow and red) is to hold a meeting on November 24th and 25th and that such people as Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt; Louis Montgomery Howe, the President's secretary; Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate, communist sympathizer and member of the A.C.L.U. national committee; William H. Kilpatrick of pink fame; Harry A. Overstreet, exposed in the Lusk Report on Revolutionary Radicalism; F. Ernest Johnson of the Federal Council of Churches and frequently exposed, and Reinhold Niebuhr, member of the openly communist National Council for the Protection of Foreign-Born Workers, are to be speakers. Mrs. Roosevelt will probably be in congenial company. Perhaps it will be even more congenial since Litvinofi's arrival."

"We have always claimed that the Progressive Education Assn., a competitor of the radical National Education Assn., was a radical left-wing teachers group....

headlined the following:

"FATHER COUGHLIN FOR PUBLIC OWNERSHIP—Comes Out Baldly for Nationalization of Banks, Currency and Credit—Millions Hear Him."

The jubilant article beneath this head-

line states in part:

"Father Coughlin's heroic stand brings encouragement to those of us who have come to the same conclusions and who are urging the same remedy. Through his national hookup, Father Coughlin's addresses reach no less than ten millions of people in the United States, and by way of cables across the sea, reach many of cables across the sea, reach many millions more in England and Continental Europe. This is an educational effort of unparalleled extent and significance and means much to the country. In the course of his address, he told his hearers that any who wished to have copies of his speeches could get them by merely addressing to him a request for them. We rushed in our request, and would certainly advise all of our readers to do the same. Address Rev. Chas. E. Coughlin, Box 150, Detroit, Mich."

In the light of what is now being done

in Washington, Carl D. Thompson's leaflet entitled "Are Socialists Practical," issued when he was director in the National Office of the Socialist Party, 1912-16, about 20 years ago, is interesting and prophetic. He said: "Some folks object to Socialism because they say—it's impractical—it won't work. We are going to answer that objection. As a matter of fact Socialists are the most practical people in the world today.

But it is only the beginning.

"The measures mentioned above are, after all, only the less important parts of the program of Socialism. They are such as the old party politicians thought they were compelled to pass, throwing them out as a sop to the growing Socialist sentiment in the country. They hope thereby to stop Socialism, not to advance it.

"We want no one to think these sops are Socialism. By no means. We want something more than sops. We want the whole soup. We are going to take all the sops they give and thereby gain strength to get the whole feed. . . . Fighting it out on this line will . . . finally overthrow capitalism. (Emphasis supplied)

forests." (Communism.)

Voters are deluged with public ownership propaganda during campaigns. "It is not unusual for the League to handle sometimes three or four lists of voters in towns and villages in a single day," says Thompson, and "Careful canvasses of Congress are made to supply them with information. Conferences are arranged with Congressmen and other public officials who are willing to give government ownership their attention." And yet Thompson says the League is non-political

"Cooperating Educators" see that College young people are formed into groups and taken to Communist, Socialist, and I.W.W. headquarters, where they are given propaganda lectures. They listen to sex lectures and participate in sex discussions.

# "RECOVERY THROUGH REVOLUTION"

This is the title of a 1933 book, "A Symposium edited by Samuel Schmaulhausen," on the "revolutionary trends in all major countries," by writers who favor

Editor Schmaulhausen (p. 476) says: "We, the people, must recover from Capitalism, a disease that has wasted and undermined our lives. Recovery through revolution! That's the road of sanity in our insane social order. . . Life and creation belong henceforth to Communicar."

He also says (p. 468): "I have long maintained that if the Communists in Soviet Russia had never done anything else of great moment than to undo the evil power of the church . . . they would deserve in ensuing centuries of light and liberation the immortal thanks and affection of their mortal fellow men. . . From a psychiatric point of view religion is a compound neurosis; it specializes in teaching men and women to feel inferior . . .; not only that but to feel ashamed of their sexual impulses. . . . If the modern mind and our civilized emotions are to be saved . . . the very first task of a new social order is to eliminate the church completely from among man's institutions." Speaking of liberty, he says (p. 471): "A proletarian revolution . . . must revoke this liberty which is so precious to the classes pursuing profit and prestire. . . Class consciousness

is the newer and deeper type of fraternity. Comradeship in Communism . . . attained by means of socialization of the State and the communization of cultural and human relations."

Robert Briffault, of England, another contributor, tells (p. 486) that promiscuity, nudism, sex expression is a revolt against the Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie with its present Christian tabus concerning sex, family and marriage, but that the way to abolish these tabus is to abolish the Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie by a violent Red Revolution.

V. F. Calverton, the Sex and Communist author, says on p. 390: "It is only by revolution that that realization" (of Communism) "can be translated into action. It is no little task that confronts us and it behooves us to gather up all our energies and dedicate all our strength to its achievement."

# STUDENT CONGRESS AGAINST WAR (AT U. OF CHICAGO)

Student Cong. Ag. War.

Pres. Hutchins.

B. Matthews of the Fell Recon.; Upton Close; Jane Addams (speaker with Scott Nearing and J. B. Matthews, Dec. 28, afternoon session); and a few others. It stated also: "Arrangements are being made to house the delegates on or near the campus." Dec. 27th was given to registering the delegates at Mandel Hall.

According to the Advisory Associates stenographic report of the session, the fol-

lowing events occurred:

Joe Weber and Joe Jurich, Communist Party functionaries, were officially present; Ben Gray of Cleveland and Jack Kling of Chicago, both of the Young Communist League, and communist I.L.D. atty. Vladimir Janowicz and his wife, were also present. The sessions averaged about 600 delegates present and a gallery of from 50 to 300 visitors.

The chairman first read greetings sent by sympathizers. Among these was a message from Communist Theodore Dreiser saying: "This is the most significant step towards peace since the Russian Revolution." This message also called upon the youth in capitalist countries to convince members of existing armed forces that their real enemies were at home—that it is the capitalist system and those enemies, who are driving people to poverty and death. A message from Rev. Henry Sloane Coffin, president of Union Theological Seminary, started: "Every Christian should be heart and soul against war. I heartily endorse the Student Congress Against War." Corliss Lamont and Jos. Freeman sent "Revolutionary Greetings."

Earl Browder (nat. sec. Communist Party) was greeted with a burst of applause. He said that Communism, while opposing imperialist war was not opposed to civil war, which was the only way to overthrow capitalist imperialism and stop imperialist war; and that the only answer to the war dangers in schools was the National Student League (Communist); that the student of today must tear down tradition and fight for the abolition of the private ownership system; that in Russia and throughout the world Communists advocate birth control and allow only those physically fit to bring children into the

continually.)

Communist Scott Nearing, who spoke next, said that war is the central political function of modern capitalist states, that the only way to peace was through a new social order based on production for use and not for profit, and that the producers must organize to take away the social and economic machinery from the gang of profiteers now in power. "We call it seizure of power" he said. He said that the Amsterdam Congress advocated strikes in munition plants, fraternization among troops of opposing armies, refusal to transport war materials, and organization of nuclei in armed forces to spread revolutionary ideals. Concluding, he said the day would come when organized groups would settle all differences over green-top tables and say "Down with Capitalism and up with the Soviet Union."

An evening discussion of Group No. 1 was led by J. B. Matthews and Mac Gordon and delegates from Toledo, Syracuse, John Hopkins U., N.Y. City, etc. told of their efforts to smash the R.O.T.C. A delegate from Columbia stated: "If a col-

industry—the political state to be abolished." Anarchists, Communists, I.W.W.'s, and Socialists are all in some degree syndicalists; all favor the abolition of the present political state. Hence laws passed against seditious, revolutionary activities aimed at the overthrow of the state have come to be called "syndicalism" laws, the name being derived from the foreign name for labor unions or "syndicates."

word 'educational' from the name of the United Farmers Educational League, to indicate that we now abandon our propaganda stage among the farmers and now enter into actual struggles. . . . " "The leadership in the . . . revolution itself, must go to the city proletariat as the really conscious, revolutionary class by virtue of the fact that the city proletarians are so situated, socially and economically, that they can gain control of, and dominate the institutions which are of decisive importance when it is a question of seizing and holding power. Obviously the farmers are not so situated. . . . However the city proletariat must diligently seek the masses of poor farmers as an ally in the Revolution, and the consummation of such an alliance, is a necessary prerequisite for a successful Revolution in America. The revolutionary city industrial workers, guided and led by the Communist Party, cannot seize and hold power without such an alliance."

"What is the function of the United Farmers League? The Party has set up the U.F.L. and its official organ the United Farmer, as a means of reaching the poor farmers with the revolutionary message, as an aid to the Party . . . not in any passive or extraneous sense, but quite actively, and as a means of actual struggle and combat with the controlled.

authorities."

The Communist farmer movement has been growing by leaps and bounds. In the Western States such as Colorado, California, etc., where there are large numbers of Japanese, Mexican and Filipino laborers in the fruit and vegetable areas, the communist Agricultural Workers Industrial Union of the T.U.U.L. has been operating successfully. December 7-10, 1932 at Washington, D.C. the communist-controlled Farmers National Relief Conference under the leadership of Lem Harris formed a National Farmers Committee for Action.

I glanced around at this crowd of colored and white people of the cheering audience with their fur-collared, silk-lined coats, good shoes and overcoats and with them mentally contrasted the many Russians whom I had seen carrying their shoes when it rained in order to save them, who wear rags about their heads, the best of them, and I thought of the pitiful millions in Russia now being deliberately mercilessly liquidated by starvation on the theory that they are "bourgeois" class enemies of their heartless atheist Communist government.

## U.S. CONGRESS AGAINST WAR

No one can doubt the cooperation between "pacifists" and revolutionaries after reading a list of committee members and supporting organizations of this Congress (2.700 delegates from 35 states).

The communist Daily Worker, Sept. 29, 1933, described the greeting planned for Henri Barbusse, French Communist docking that day, coming to address the Congress, and said: "The principal speakers at the opening session will include, besides Barbusse, Devere Allen of the War Resisters League; Earl Browder, General Secretary, Communist Party; Dr. Alfons Goldschmidt, exiled German professor; William Pickens, field secretary Nat. Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People; Prof. Reinhold Niebuhr, and others. The same speakers will speak at both opening meetings" (Mecca Temple and St. Nicholas Arena). Communist Donald Henderson and J. B. Matthews of the "pacifist" Fellowship of Reconciliation were scheduled as the two chairmen. To again quote: "More than 115 national organizations, with a combined membership of about 800,000, have endorsed the Congress, including the People's Lobby with John Dewey as president. . . " "Five delegates have been elected by the Pennsylvania branch of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, of which Jane Addams is honorary international chairman." (Emphasis supplied.)

The Daily Worker, Sept. 30, 1933 reported overflow crowds at both halls, 2,500 delegates present, and told something of the speeches of Communist Henri Barbusse. A. I. Muste. and Communist

Earl Browder.

Barbusse's formal message through the Daily Worker, Sept. 30, "to all American workers of hand and brain" was: "I urge them to join as one man in a movement to which the revolutionaries of all European countries have already pledged their adherence—the struggle to the death against Fascism and imperialist war"

Previously, one of the headline speakers coming to address this Congress, Tom Mann, a notorious veteran English Communist agitator, had been delayed by the U.S. State Dept. in entering the U.S., but vigorous protests from Communist, Socialist, "Pacifist" groups, and the Red-aiding American Civil Liberties Union, caused the bar to be lifted and Mann to be granted a special visa to enter the United States to give speeches "protesting against war" and favoring bloody revolution. Communists Barbusse and Mann were booked to address a series of Communist mass meetings following the Congress (Chicago, Oct. 23, etc.).

Its call to "every organization to form united front," sent out in leaflet form,

listed its "Members of the Arrangements Committee for the U.S. Congress Against War" as follows:

Plainly called "a communist organization" by "The Patriot" (Boswell Pub. Co., London, Aug. 31, 1933 issue); the initiator of the War Resisters International Council (see below), of which it is a part; held its first international conference at Bilthoven, Holland, 1921; its International Conference at Sonntagsberg, Austria, as reported in the War Resister, Oct. 1928 issue, regretted "the absence of friends from Moscow," while the conference discussions centered around "War Resistance and Revolution," and the report said "The discussion of War Resistance and Revolution revealed the deep sympathy of those present with all those who struggle for a new social order, and the recognition that we, the members of the War Resisters International, have to be within this struggle." Delegates from the International Fellowship of Reconcilation, International Anti-Militarist Bureau, International Cooperative Movement, Friends Committee for International Service, International Bahai Movement, World League of Catholic Youth, International Movement for Christian Communism, among whom were Free Thinkers, Liberals, Socialists, and Anarchists, composed this conference.

And p. 22: "We have made representations to the various governments. . . . These representations are not sent direct from the International, but in this we have always had the willing help of men of eminence,

The "Statement of Principles" of the War Resisters International declares against "wars to preserve the existing order of society," but concerning "wars on behalf of the oppressed proletariat, whether for its liberation or defense" says: "To refuse to take up arms for this purpose, is most difficult. (1) Because the proletarian regime, and even more the enraged masses, in time of revolution, would regard as a traitor any one who would refuse to support the new order, by force. (2) Because our instinctive love for the suffering and the oppressed would tempt us to use violence on their behalf." In other words, open resistance to defense of existing governments is urged, while the idea is advanced that it would be considered traitorous to refuse to support revolutionaries in overthrowing these governments. "And this is called 'pacifism' not 'communism'!", says the National Republic,

Formed, and headed continuously as international president, by Jane Addams. Communists Wm. Z. Foster, Scott Nearing, Benj. Gitlow, Eliz. Gurley Flynn and their close associates, Robt. Morss Lovett (who lives at Hull House), Roger N. Baldwin, Sidney Hillman, Morris L. Ernst, Lewis S. Gannett, Clinton S. Golden, Freda Kirchwey, Norman Thomas, and James Weldon Johnson, etc., the Board of Directors of the Garland Fund, voted to this approved "peace" and "total disarmament" society, which also agitated for recognition of Soviet Russia, the following sums: (1924-25 Report, page 22) "Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, New York City. For traveling expenses of speakers on imperialism to Senate Committee hearing and to Chicago conference (Mar. 4th and May 22nd) \\$543.17"; (same Report, p. 33) "For general expenses, 6 months (Oct. 22nd) \\$1,000"; (1925-26 Report, p. 12) "For publication of monthly bulletin 'Pax' \\$2,400"; (1926-27 Report, p. 28) "For publication of monthly bulletin 'Pax' \\$1,200"; (1927-28 Report, p. 37)

"For publication of monthly bulletin 'Pax' \\$1.200"

How many people reading these loving peace and total disarmament "Peace" bulletins and hearing the anti-imperialist "Peace" speakers on the "Pax Special" realized that Moscow's Communist leaders for bloody revolution helped to vote funds to pay for both? Jane Addams, in plaintive and characteristically dulcet style, says in her book, "Second Twenty Years at Hull House" (p. 173) concerning the W.I. L.P.F. Congress held in Wash., D.C., 1924: "We found the newspapers, the patriotic societies and the military making a charge against us of 'internationalism' as if that in itself were altogether damaging. . . . The Congress of the W.I.L. was followed by a two week summer school in Chicago, where no difficulties were encountered, although some arose in connection with a private car, the Pax Special which carried twenty-five of the delegates to and from Chicago, making an opportunity for them to be heard in many cities of the United States and Canada. On the journey westward in certain of the cities meetings and receptions were cancelled because of propaganda based not only on misunderstandings but on deliberate misrepresentation which had first made itself felt in Washington."

The "Woman Patriot," May 1, 1922, states: "Frequent changes of name as advised by Nicolai Lenin are resorted to by the International feminist-pacifist bloc as often as necessary, but the entire movement originates with the International Woman's Suffrage Alliance. The work is divided up like an army's artillery, cavalry and infantry into three mobile divisions: the political under Mrs. Catt and her International Woman Suffrage Alliance and League of Women Voters. The pacifist under Miss Jane Addams and her W.L.P.F. The industrial under Mrs. Raymond Robins and her International League of Working Women and Womens Trade Union League" (also Garland Fund-supported). "The three branches are employed precisely as a wise general would engage artillery, cavalry or infantry; using all three together whenever necessary, each one alone for special objectives."

The International Entente against the Third International (hdqts. Geneva, Switzerland), in a 1932 report on Communist activities, said of India: its "North west frontier is infested by the Red Shirts of Abdul Gafar, a revolutionary organization in relations with Moscow and which also appears to be similarly connected with the Hindu National Congress. It has no doubt been remarked that Mahatma Gandhi recalled in haste by this Congress, nevertheless found time to pay a visit to Romain Rolland and to speak at Geneva under the auspices of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom . . . the secretary-general of the French section of the W.I.L.P.F." (which recently published an appeal to all Frenchmen to defend the U.S.S.R. against its enemies), "Mme. Duchene, is at the same time a member of the executive committee of the Anti-Imperialist League directed by the German Communist Muenzenberg."

The British section, Oct. 1, 1915, took the name of Women's International League. They ran a Peace Crusade organized by Mrs. Helen Crawfurd (later a member of the British Communist Party) and also supported the notorious Moscow-inspired Leeds Conference of June 3, 1917, which congratulated the people of Russia on the success of their revolution and appointed a committee to set up Soviets in England which would cause a revolution that would end war. (See "English Reds.") Mrs. Pethwick Lawrence was honorary secretary of the British section and the executive committee included Miss Margaret Bondfield (who spoke in 1933 in Chicago at the Intl. Council of Women with Jane Addams; a member of the very Red Ind. Labor Party and 1917 Club "combining Pacifism with definitely revolutionary aims"); Maud Royden of the same 1917 Club; Mrs. Philip Snowden (wife of Ind. Labour Party leader and a radical); Mrs. Despard (of the Communist W.I.R. British section). etc.

adopted the same position as the Com-

Madeleine Z. Doty, wife of Roger Baldwin (director of both Garland Fund and American Civil Liberties Union), for a long time was international secretary of the W.I.L.P.F., with hdqts. at Geneva, Switzerland, and is still editor of its bulletin "Pax"

## WOMEN'S PEACE PARTY

Cooperated during the war with the Socialist Party in the Emergency Peace Federation (1917) and with the American Union Against Militarism, whose Civil Liberties Bureaus defending radicals calling themselves "conscientious objectors" became the American Civil Liberties Union ("Red-aid Society"). A letter from Rosika Schwimmer to Louis Lochner on Women's Peace Party stationery is reproduced in the Lusk Report. Jane Addams was nat. chmn.; Mrs. Amos Pinchot, chmn. N.Y. City branch; Mrs. Louis D. Brandeis, a vice chmn.; Carrie Chapman Catt was a

leader, as was Mrs. Henry Villard; other active workers were: Eliz. Glendower Evans, Lucia Ames Mead, Crystal Eastman, Mrs. James Warbasse, Madeleine Doty, Mary Austin, Mrs. Frederic Howe, Mrs. Florence Kelley, Mary Shaw, Lillian D. Wald, Anna Strunsky Walling, Margaret Lane, Agnes Brown Leach, etc., etc. (Lusk Report).

# WOMEN'S PEACE SOCIETY

## WOMEN'S PEACE UNION

With Jane Addams' W.I.L.P.F., Fellowship of Reconciliation, and War Resisters League, it formed a Fenner Brockway Luncheon Committee which invited a large audience to welcome him in Wash., D.C. Its skillful organizers send representatives to War Resisters meetings in the United States and abroad where suggestions are offered looking toward the "establishment of a new social and international order." Claims a "nation-wide membership."

The Workers Laboratory Theatre of the communist Workers International Relief (Agit-Prop section) formed in 1933 a Workers Theatre school to teach dramatic art, voice training, etc. to performers in Communist dramatics (also a Puppet group and children's Agit-Prop troupe); it organized the Workers Theatre magazine, name changed Aug. 1933 to New Theatre,

The Chicago branch of the Workers Laboratory Theatre meets 1932-33 at Abraham Lincoln Center. To quote the Daily Worker, Oct. 27, 1933: "The Theatre Council of the Midwest Workers Cultural Federation sponsors the Workers Laboratory Theatre School, which opened Oct. 25, at Lincoln Center, 700 E. Oakwood Blvd. The school offers three courses to workers and students who are interested: "1. History and Principles of the Marxian Theatre, led by Leon Hess every Monday evening. 2. Stage Technique, Voice Diction, led by Louise Hamburger, every Wednesday evening. 3. Working Class Playwriting, led by Bill Andrews, every Friday evening.

# WORLD CONGRESS AGAINST WAR

One of the Congresses Against War (against imperialist, but favoring Red civil war), organized and controlled by Moscow's Intl. League Against Imperialism (see) and held at Amsterdam, Aug. 27-29, 1932. The same leaders have since organized the Student Congress Against War (U. of Chgo., Dec. 1932); World Congress of Youth Against War (Paris 1933); U.S. Congress Against War (Sept. 29-Oct. 2, 1933, N.Y. City); a Congress barred from Shanghai, 1933, Anti-War Committees in schools and colleges, Intl., Am. and Chicago Committees for Struggle Against War, Am. Lg. Against War and Fascism, etc.

An idea of all of these Congresses may be gained from the report of the Amsterdam Congress published in pamphlet form by the American Committee for Struggle Against War (104 Fifth Ave., Room 1811, N.Y. City) with commendatory forewords by Scott Nearing and Lola Maverick Lloyd (saying "True pacifists are rebels," etc.).

"The Russian delegation had been barred by the Dutch government, but the banner of greeting sent by its chairman, Maxim Gorki, was received with thunderous applause. . . . When Henri Barbusse rose to address the delegates he was visibly moved . . . Barbusse pleaded for unity of all elements . . . the workers of hand and of brain in the common cause. The need for unity was also stressed by Romain Rolland in the message he sent to the opening session of the Congress . . . he drove home the point . . . this was to be a militant Congress. . . . A Belgian striking miner told dramatically how the month before, when the army was called out and ordered to fire on the striking miners, the soldiers refused to obey. Equally impressive was a German marine transport worker who urged that the fight be carried on, not only in the munitions industries, but in all key industries. He pledged the active support of his union in preventing the transport

caused a bloody riot, Nov. 9, 1932, in Geneva, which cost the lives of 13 and injured 70). "These Socialists as a group passed a resolution in which they stated 'We decide to work zealously within our respective organizations to win them over to the united front against war and for the defense of the Russian Revolution." (Nicole got busy very soon evidently.) "Spontaneous cheering broke out when Sen Katayama, veteran Japanese revolutionary leader, came forward to make his speech," saying, "'don't forget that you, by handling such shipments'" (arms and munitions for Japan) "are helping to murder your fellow workers and to attack the Soviet Union which is the guarantee of your hopes for socialism.' . . . Patel, picturesque white bearded Indian nationalist, denounced British imperialism for its brutal oppression of the Indian masses . . . Cachin, a leading French Communist . . . was vigorously applauded when he presented a program of action: 'Penetrate the armed forces; win over workers and peasants in the factories and fields.'"

"The most stirring, breath taking demonstration occurred towards the end of the last session, in honor of an unexpected speaker whose name we shall never know. The chairman stepped forward, and in an electrically vibrant voice he cried out: 'Comrades! I have an extraordinarily important announcement to make! The sailors of the Italian warship now in the harbor of Amsterdam have heard of this Congress, and one of them has come to bring you greetings from his comrades!... But first let me warn you: take no pictures! This boy's life is doomed if his picture gets into the hands of the police. And now I present him to you—a nameless sailor of the Italian fleet!' Instantly the Congress was on its feet as one man, and the 'International' rang out from thousands of throats. And there mounted the rostrum...a sun bronzed sailor in the dazzling white uniform of the Italian navy. He gazed at the audience calmly until the singing was over, then just as calmly but with full consciousness of what he was doing, he spoke for ten minutes in Italian. He described the absolutism of the Fascist dictatorship which, he said, makes revolution the only possible means of change... Nevertheless there are small groups in the army and navy who are preparing for the only possible resistance when the crucial moment comes. The speaker concluded:

To quote from Romain Rolland's declaration "read at the opening of the Congress by Mme. Duchene" of Jane Addams' W.I.L.P.F. (as he was ill): "We French have especially to hold in check—until we can smash them—our money and business powers, our great barons of industry who are the secret or proved masters of politics." He suggested the sabotage of "armament factories and the means of transportation . . . at decisive moments."

Among pledges assumed in the "Manifesto of the Congress" were these: "We pledge ourselves to dedicate ourselves with all our resources to our immediate and pressing tasks, taking our stand: against armaments, against war preparations and for that reason against the imperialist powers that rule us; against the campaign of propaganda and slander aimed at the Soviet Union, the country of Socialist construction which we will not allow to be touched; for the effective support of the Japanese workers who have raised the standard of struggle against their own imperialist government."

# WORLD CONGRESS OF YOUTH AGAINST WAR AND FASCISM

The send off of three "peace" delegates and the spirit of these "pacifists" was graphically described by the communist Daily Worker, Sept. 15, 1933, as follows: "Down the full length of 14th St. to the Cunard Steamship Line, marched 500 workers Wednesday night at 11 P.M. behind three flowing red flags in a send-off demonstration to the three young workers leaving for the Paris World Youth Congress Against War and Fascism. . . . The resounding militant music of the Red Front Band played the fighting songs of revolutionary workers engaged in the struggle against wars and bosses' oppression in the form of NRA. Workers watched the parade amazed at the rythmic shouting of the whole line 'Hands Off Cuba,' 'Fight Against Imperialist War' . . . six policemen attempted to arrest Leonard Patterson, Negro Young Communist League member, while he was making an extraordinary appeal for funds at Union Square. . . . One cop was clipped on the jaw by a worker, the others were quickly surrounded by an angry, screaming crowd, and for a moment it looked like the police would start clubbing. The police, however, realizing the furious militancy of the crowd.

immediately released Patterson. A few minutes later the group of 200 arrived from the open air meeting they had been forced to hold at 15th St. and Irving Place when the war authorities refused a permit for a mass demonstration inside the Washington Irving High School. Speakers at this meeting included Abraham Kaufman of the War Resister's League and Annie Gray of the Women's Peace Society." "When the line of marchers approached 13th Ave., on which the piers are located, the band started playing the Internationale, and 500 fists were raised to the day when the revolutionary workers will take possession of the waterfront and smash shipments of ammunition. . . . Carl Geiser, National Organizer of the United States Anti-War Congress, and a member of the Workers Ex-Service Men's League" (Communist) "quickly jumped up on top of a delivery car and addressed the marchers. Three rousing cheers were given the delegates Clemence Strauss, Phil Rosengarten, and Toiva Oja. . . . Then with the drums thumping out the Internationale to the accompaniment of lusty voices the workers bade farewell to the delegates and marched back." (Emphasis supplied.)

A copy of the leaflet entitled "To the Youth of America—A Call for Action Against War and Fascism" issued by the American Committee for this Congress is before me. It urges penetration of the armed forces, C.M.T.C., R.O.T.C., steel and chemical plants, Conservation Camps, transportation industries, National Guard, and "Wherever Youth Meets," for distribution of this "Call" and for propagandizing disloyal activities against these very organizatons for which the youths are working.

Carl Geiser, of the communist Wkrs. Ex-Service Men's Lg., was listed as secretary of the American Committee arranging this Congress, and Abraham Kaufman, of the War Resisters Lg., as treasurer, and the hdqts. as 104 Fifth Ave., N.Y. City. (Hdqts. of Am. Com. for Struggle Against War.)

And if the enemy will dare to raise its bloody claws against the fatherland of the proletariat of the whole world, in all the capitalist countries of the world a wall of iron defense of the U.S.S.R. will grow up and millions of young revolutionists will defend it.

This conference book, "Solidarity," thanks Miss Annetta Dieckmann, Chicago Y.W.C.A. secretary, for having secured the use of this camp for summer conferences since 1925. She is also listed as a group leader, and Sonya S. Forthal (said to be wife of Dr. J. G. Spiesman of 222 N. Oak Park Ave., Oak Park, Ill.) as leader of Political Action. The pro-Soviet talk on Russia of Lucy Carner, "Executive of Industrial Department on National Board since 1924," is also summarized in it.

The Industrial Song Sheet used in this conference book is also issued separately by the Y.W.C.A. National Board. It includes but two verses of the Communist "Internationale." But one of the two chosen is the anti-religious one:

## THE INTERNATIONALE

We want no condescending saviors, To rule us from a judgement hall, We workers ask not for their favors; Let us consult for all.

Refrain:

Tis the final conflict Let each stand in his place The International Party Shall be the human race. Etc.

The Communists sing it with the difference of one word: "The International Soviet shall be the human race."

We are coming unforgiving And the earth resounds our tread. Bone and sinew of the living, Spirit of the rebel dead, You who sow'd the wind of sorrow Now the whirlwind you must dare, As you face upon the morrow The advancing Proletaire.

"I'm Labor" is No. 10, a very good class-hate selection:

I'm very humble, I'm Labor. I rarely grumble, I'm Labor. In summer heat and winter gale, I pack a load or swing a flail; But some one else rakes in the kale, I'm Labor (All: He's Labor)

"Nations Come and Join Us" and "We Shall Be Free," Socialist Party songs, the communist Russian "Work Song," "Over All the Lands" by Communist Anna Louise Strong, "Song of the Workers" ("Men who toil like hosses, Will you serve the bosses, And bow down to heels of steel?" etc.), are included. Also "Comrades Join the Mustering Forces":

All of the 17 songs are somewhat similar with the exception of two Negro spirituals. These two are the *only* songs that mention the word "God" and *not one* song in the book alludes to Christ in any way.

The "Program Exchange" issued by the "Laboratory Division, National Board Y.W.C.A., 600 Lexington Ave., New York, additional copies 25 cents from the Woman's Press." says (p. 4):

"Someone has said 'the excuse for being of Association Music is its relation to program.' How then are labor songs tied into workers education in the Y.W.C.A.?

"So many groups are becoming interested in Russia that the 'Internationale' with its stirring call to action and world brotherhood can be used increasingly. This song offers immediate discussion material for communism and socialism, internationalism, etc. . . . Many so-called 'Red' songs can be altered a bit by groups studying Russia to fit the various stages of social awareness

(p. 13): "The Friends of Soviet Russia" (Communist) "offer us exhibits of pictures on work life among the Soviets. They will prepare special exhibits for groups studying special subjects. There is no charge except postage. They suggest that clubs use their magazine 'Soviet Russia Today' for pictures and facts. Subscriptions are \\$1.00 a year. If clubs sell 5 or more subscriptions they may make 25 cents on each subscription. Address 80 East 11th St., New York" (Communist bdgts)

"Proletariat": the poorest class of society; those who own no savings, property, business, insurance, or other investment, and hire no labor.

"Bourgeoisie": small property, investment, or business-owning class.

"Exploiters": all who collect profit from investments, rent, or labor of others. All bourgeoisie are "exploiters" and all proletarians are "exploited".

"Class consciousness": the sense of being "exploited" and eager for the

''class struggle''.

"Class enemy": one who hinders the proletariat in any way from carrying

out its program of dictatorship.

"Cadres": leaders forming a skeleton military organization capable of engineering revolutionary uprising. All Communist Party members who are promising material as military officers are trained either by enlistment in National Guard and other "bourgeois" organizations, there to act as traitors at the moment of uprising, or by the Red Front League affiliated with the Young Communist League (see Red Army in U. S. A.) and other "workers defense" organizations.

"Left wing": the most radical or extreme element in any organization

"Right wing": the most moderate or conservative element in any organization.

"Centrists": those occupying a position between left and right wings.

"Reactionary" or "Rightist": tending toward the conservative and away from the radical.

"Collectivize": to take private property and put it under collective management and ownership. Farmers in Russia give up their homes, stock, and tools to be used as part of a collective farm upon which they work as employees and receive such share of the proceeds as the Party and farm authorities give them.

"Capitalism": the system of government which defends private owner-

ship of business and property.

# PART III

# "WHO'S WHO"

# WHO IS WHO IN RADICALISM?

The Communist-Socialist-Anarchist-I.W.W. teaching is that the Red revolutionary movement is the Marxian "class struggle" of the proletariat, or poorest class, against the "bourgeoisie", or small-property-owning and tradesman class, in an effort to dispossess and create a "dictatorship of the proletariat" over the "bourgeoisie". It is amusing to hear this preached at a great Red meeting filled with several thousand well dressed "bourgeoisie" and to see, as I have, the numerous fine cars, including a Rolls-Royce, draw up to the door after such a meeting.

The Red movement is a revolutionary, not a class, movement. Its strongest opponents are neither scented, sleeping capitalists nor the shiftless bums, but the great working class of ambitious, self respecting, common-sense Americans who have no desire to be proletarians, glorified or otherwise. Radical forces are drawn from all classes, from the dumbest type of "proletarian" bum who anticipates revolution as a diverting opportunity to vent his envy and hatred by looting and murder, all the way to the befogged capitalist type with "suicidal tendencies" who helps finance the Red movement and whose sons acquire their warped theories from Red capitalist-supported college professors, and the idealistic sincere humanitarian type who believes the Red road is the right road and who beckons others to follow him over the precipice into Bolshevism believing it is for the good of humanity.

Probably few leaders become really great unless they do believe sincerely in their cause. Even Lenin when he ordered the torture and murder of millions of dissenting Russians and ended freedom for the rest of the population probably believed the end justified the means. Idealistic Reds may dislike the deception, camouflage, "boring from within", false fronts, and ruthlessness characteristic of the Red movement, yet consider these tactics necessary and justifiable. Dupes are enlisted in every Red organization. Sincere Pacifists make excellent material, for, while all Pacifists are not Reds, all Reds are militant Pacifists and all Pacifists are used directly or indirectly to further the Red scheme of breaking down patriotic spirit and national defense which are major hindrances to Red revolution, internationalism and "the new social order".

We may believe in the altruism and personal sincerity of the intellectual radical leader, admire his learning or personal charm, just as we believe in the sincere religious devotion of the Hindu who, according to his religion, offers his baby girls for vile sex degradation and physical injury, jabs nails into himself, and offers bloody human sacrifices to his god "Kali", but we need not follow either. Neither sincerity nor ignorance mitigates the effects

But, underneath, a wag had scribbled:

"To follow you I am not bent,
Unless you say which way you went!"

The Reds and their friends the "Liberals" or pinks, who so violently clamor for the unlimited right of "free speech" for Reds, to agitate violent revolution and confiscation of property, and to fling abuse at religion, our form of government and its defenders, bitterly object to the slightest free speech on the part of their opponents, and are fond of vilifying and suing for libel those who comment unfavorably upon their activities. They not only endeavor to silence opposition by suits, intimidation and boycott threats, but also by confusing and lulling to sleep the non-radical American public. Intellectual radical leaders are constantly "pooh-poohing" in public the very existence of a Red revolutionary movement, so that they themselves may be unopposed while working for its success. An alert and hostile public is a formidable force to combat. "Better that those who would oppose us sleep," says the radical. "Better wake up", says the patriot, for only a minority of any nation guides its destiny.

# THIS "WHO'S WHO"

Lists one or more of the affiliations of about 1,300 persons who are or have been members of Communist, Anarchist, Socialist, I.W.W. or Pacifist-controlled organizations, and who, thru these memberships, knowingly or unknowingly, have contributed in some measure to one or more phases of the Red movement in the United States. Both list and data are incomplete. To make either complete would be an impossibility.

The full names of organizations which have been abbreviated in this "Who's Who" may be found both in the Index and at the head of the descriptive matter concerning them under the section in this book on "Organizations", which is alphabetically arranged. Most of the organizations and publications referred to in the "Who's Who" are identified or described in the section on Organizations.

To find out what "N. S. Lg.", for example, means and is, one might either turn first to the Index to find that "N. S. Lg." is the abbreviation for "National Student League" and then turn to the section on Organizations to read the data concerning it, or look directly among the Organizations, beginning with the letter "N", for the abbreviation "N. S. Lg." listed side by side with the full title "National Student League", heading the descriptive matter concerning it. Abbreviations of words, such as "nat.", "com.", "coun.", etc., are explained separately.

Names and information in this "Who's Who" have been taken principally from the official literature and letterheads of the organizations mentioned; from the radicals' own "American Labor Year Book" and "American Labor Who's Who"; from the Report of the Joint Legislative Committee of the State of New York Investigating Seditious Activities (called the Lusk Report) based upon documentary evidence; from U. S. Report 2290 of the Special Committee of the House of Representatives to Investigate Communist Activities in the United States headed by the Hon. Hamilton Fish; from literature and data sheets of Mr. Fred Marvin, national secretary of the American Coalition of Patriotic Societies, N. Y. City; from reports by Mr. Francis Ralston Welsh of Philadelphia, attorney, long a patriotic research authority on subversive activities; from the documentary files of the Advisory Associates, Chicago; from data furnished by the Better America Federation of California; and from other reliable sources.

Mention in this Who's Who will be regarded by those who are proud of their affiliations as a badge of honor, by those ashamed of them as a black list.

The outgrowth of these Civil Liberties Bureaus was their separate establishment in 1917. The name was changed in 1920 to the American Civil Liberties Union. J. Addams was a founder-member and served on its national committee for ten years along with Communists Wm. Z. Foster, Scott Nearing, Robt. W. Dunn, Elizabeth G. Flynn, and Max Eastman, working then as now to defend and keep from punishment, jail, or deportation those Socialist, Communist, and I.W.W. agitators who seek to overthrow the U.S. Government. Another outgrowth of these pacifist activities was the formation in the U. S. by Norman Thomas, aided by J. Addams, Harry F. Ward, Emily Balch, and others, of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, a slacker-pacifist, pro-Soviet organization spreading, then and now, entering-wedge communistic propaganda; spkr. at its Youth for Peace Institute (Feb. 26, 1926, at U. of Chgo.) with Eugene Debs and Communist Robert Minor.

Now I don't doubt that in the last analysis we must shoot and when it comes to shooting, Wisconsin will be there. We always make good"; on July 31, 1909, in the Milwaukee "Social Democratic Herald," Berger said: "No one will claim that I am given to the reciting of 'revolutionary' phrases. On the contrary, I am known to be a 'constructive' Socialist. However, . . . it is easy to predict that the safety and hope of this country will finally lie in one direction only—that of a violent and bloody revolution. Therefore, I say, each of the 500,000 Socialist voters and of the 2,000,000 workingmen who instinctively incline our way, should, besides doing much reading and still more thinking, also have a good rifle and the necessary rounds of ammunition in his

home and be prepared to back up his ballot with his bullets if necessary." (Lusk Re-
