ssJanet March, Suppressed

,oab Banton, district attorney of New York,
read copy of Floyd Dell's latest novel, Janet
March, and was inexpressbly shocked. His
moral hair stood on end and he Immediately
went to see the publisher, Alfred Knopf. Mr..
Knopf after confering with the pious Banton,
and after another conference with his attor-
ney, decided to discontinue the sale Of the book
and withdraw it from circulation.
Mr.. Dell, while defending the tone of the
novel, which is in delicate language, 1.-THE
story of a girls experience" stated that he
appreciated the attitude of Mr. Knopf and
would rather have the book suppressed than
have it pushed into big sale by the sensa-
tional publicity that lawsuit would entail.
So it stands If you are worker, your
morals are guaranteed. If you happen to be
a fat lady with lots of money and lap dog,
or tired business man, you will soon get a
chance to buy the book from literary book
logger for the juicy price of $40.
But let us hope that you are only common
worker. Then you will be able to go down on
your knees and thank the gods that there exist
district attorneys and societies for the suppress
sion of vice who take upon themselves the
weighty burden of protecting your delicate
morals from corruption by the terrible books
which are written nowadays for no other pur-
pose, so we are told, than to invege the peo-
pie of this glorious country into an orgy of
rape, murder-and thought.

The German Working Class Cannot Be Cheated Of Its Victor

"The Dictatorship of Seeckt."
Similarly 1t would be just as in
correct to assume that fundamental
'antagonism of interests exists be-
tween General Seeckt on the one
hand and German fascism on the
other 1t is is true that General
Seeckt and the official organizations
are not one and the same. But even
Admiral Koltchak, in the first period
of his activity, was in favor of the
Constitutional Assembly and not Of
"united and indivisable Russia"
and certainly not in favor of "auto-
cracy, orthodoxy and nationalism."
If we talk not of TRIES but of serious
matters, lie, the victory of the bour-
geoisie over the proletarian revolu-
tion in Germany and the consolida-
ton Of the bourgeois dictatorship,
then the fascist, Seeckt, and Ebert
are engaged in one and the same
business, in which a certain amount
Of division of labor has been ar
ranged. Seeckt, Ebert and Noske
are merely different forms of fas-
cism.
/ Instead of encouraging the Ger
man workers with talk Of differences
between General Seeckt end fascism,
instead Of basing our calculations
upon such differences, it would be
far better to study the facts careful
ly Let us recall recent happenings.
The Bavarian fascist effected coup
detat What did General Seeckt
and the social-democratic President
Ebert 90? They took advantage Of
the fact in order TO declare stare
Of siege throughout the whole Of
Germany. This was done so skill
fully that considerable sections Of
the social-democratic workers were at
first deceived by the manoeuvres Of
Seeckt and Ebert, and seriously be-
lieved that the state Of siege was de-
clared, not as a measure directed
against the revolutionary proletariat,
but in order TO deal with the coup
d'etat Of the Bavarian fascist.

While General Seeckt with the APP

proval of the social-democratic Pres
ident Ebert, was concentrating 10000
troops of the White Re chswehr in
Saxony, it was given out that the con-
centration was directed against
White Bavaria. But when the con-
centration was complete, the mask
was discarded ard the White Reich

Take again ThurinRia. The fas-

Thuringia, where also workers gov

social-democratic and democratic
press raised the alarm that the fas-
cisti were about to occupy Thur

order to save the situati N. end with
the blessing of Ebert, sent his re-
publican Reichswehr into Thuringia.
Thanks to the efforts Of the social
democratic press, many social-dem-

ocratic workers regarded the occupa-
ton of Thuringia by the Republican
Reichswehr almost as a victory for
the German proletariat. If the
Reichswehr did not occupy Thur
ingia, they said, the fascist would.
While the right social-democratic
leaders are terrifying the workers
with the spectre of Hitler fascism,
they are in fact setting Seeckt on the
fascist throne In short, the heroes of
the November Republic, the German
social-democrats, are handing over
power to Seeckt by instalments.
The thistles of German Koltchak'sm
are springing up thickly in the flower
beds of German social-democracy.
Will this go on for long? 1t is
hardly possible. There can be now
little doubt that Germany will have
to pass through a period Of White
Terror. There is also little doubt
that the path Of the German pro-
letariat viii be a difficult one and
that many and heavy sacrifices will
be demanded of it. It is now GER
tain that the rath of the German pro-
letariat revolution viii be much
more painful than we at first be-
lieved. But the fundamental fac

leading to n revolutionary crisis---
viz, international politics. the finan-
cinl crisis. the food crisis. etc.--are
sin oreratirg and are steadily be-
coming more acute.
The German working class will
have TO pay heavy price for its
victory but nothing can cheat it Of
that victory Koltchakism will be a
no more permanent phenomenon on
Germsn soil than IL WIS on Russian
soil. The German workers are be-
ing tested in the fire Of painful ex-

Seeckt has not defeated Ebert. AS
a matter Of fact, Ebert needs General
Seeckt much more than Seeckt needs
Ebert. II is very possible that when
Seeckt finally established his Dictator

make the social-democrat Ebert his

affair like that, social-1cmocratic
rresidort would be a very useful as

the Siberian socialist revolutlonaries
and mensheviks, call Admiral Kolt-
chalk to power, who then as was only
to be expected, turned upon the re-
volutionary democrats and rent
them?
Something similar is now taking
place in Germany. What we are now
observing amounts to this: the Ger
man November democrats are hand
ing over power by instruments to the
German Koltchak, General Seeckt.
With the first German revolution
November 1879, power passed en-
tirely into the hands of the social
democrats, who set up the first "re-
volutionary" government of national
representatives" consisting Of social
democrats and Independent social
democrats. Five years have elapsed
since that period. During these five
years the German social-democrats
and independents have been employed
in handing power over by instruments.

German Koltchakism, like Russian
Kolrchaki m IN its time, is the logical
development and consummaton of
the idea of revolutionary democracy,
or, adapted to Germany, of the idea
Of the November Republic One can
not therefore assert that any distinc-
ton or contradiction exists between
the November Republic and the
dictatorship Of Seeckt. Seeckt is the
child, the legal heir, Of the November
Republic, as Koltchak was the legal
heir Of the revolutionary democracy
Of Kerensky.
The revolutionary democrats are
unable to bride the communist pro-
letariat, and therefore a Koltchak or
Seeclxt inevitably comes to bride
revolutionary democracy. That is

A figure is emerging from the en-
veloping mists- "a strong man destin-
ed to save bourgeois Germany, a sole
dictator who will embody the will of
the nation-in a word a German
Supreme Ruler. A German koltchak
has appeared on the scene. His name
is General Seeclst. Of all the pretend
ers to the claim, and they are many,
he is the one who stands most chance.
Many are called, but few are chosen.
Seeckt apparently is the chosen one.
It must be admitted that the pro-
liability of Seeckt becoming tie uIc-
tator in the very near future is a
serious one. Hitler and Co. are Ger
man Purishkeviches ~. They have
a certain backing among the national
ist ty-bourgeoisie; but their pro-
gram will not bear examination, and
they themselves are more ike buff
foons than serious active counter
revolutionaries.
But General Seeckt is another pro-
position. His movements are secret
and cautious. He has managed TO
secure the backing of both the pru-
dent section or the German SOc4al-
