SBROOKWOOD
is NOW EXPOSED
Part of the Campaign
Against Left Wing

Editor Daily Worker:
As a former student of Brook
wood | was glad to see in the Daily
Worker that the New York Brook
wood Fellowship attacked the right
wing policy of the school. The real
character of BrooRwood vas shown
when the A. F. of L. began its at
tack upon it and charged it with
being a Communist institution. At
the same time the Communists ex-
posed Brookwood as a right wing
organization.
About Music.
Recently A. ]. Music organized a
so-called progressive" conference.
A general invitation was made to
the Brookwood students, but five,
who were outspoken in their criti-
cism of the right wing policy Of
Brookwood, were excluded. A few
days later Music announced a meet
ing of all former graduates to vote
on the new Brookwood policy. This
meeting, at which the socialist,
Maurer, was chairman, was full of
cheap demagogy and steamroller
methods on the part Of the Brook
wood officials. At this corporation
meeting, Music found great cpposi-
ton to his attacks on the Commu-
nists and the left wing.
When the majority of the students
at this meeting were overwhelm-
ingly in favor of continuing the dis
cussion, the chairman railroaded
through a motion to adjourn.
Revealed Its True Col0rs.
The expulsion of Calhoun is part
of the same policy. Now Brook
wood shows its true colors and
proves that it is going to continue
TO be helpful to the bosses and the
A. F. Of L. "fat boys" in fighting
the left wing. One of these STAT
boys" Hoffman, came to one of the
students meetings in Brookwood
and was received with honors by
Music and his friends, although ne
lately betrayed the textile strike in

Soviet Women Dom
mate in "The Viii
lage of Sim

cURVEYING the numerous Soviet
productions that have secured
showing in this country, it becomes
noticeable that the Russian woman
has a very definite place in the
motion picture industry of her
country. 1t is not alone as an ac-
tress that she merits attention. There
are other artistic channels of ex-
preston that are claimed for her
own as witness "The Village of
Sim now in its second week at the
Cameo Theatre: directed by Olga
Preobraschenskaja!
And moreover, if Soviet feminism
has been neglected as a subject
theme in preceding photoplays, in
pie attention. fererunner of many
other cinemas to be seen wherein
women become important on the
screen in other than purely romantic
roles. Among such films are.
Mother" from Maxim Gorky's
famous novel, produced by Pudovkin;
"The General Line" which is the
work of that inspired director Eisen-
stein and 'sglorifies," as we would
say, the typical Soviet girl; "Ten
Days that Shook the World" seen in
New York, stressing the loyalty and
affection of the workers wife. All
of these, like the Canoes "Village
of SIM" do more than place a love
interest in a photodrama and let it
go at that. These Russian films
probe deep, represent real types and
present them against background
of social scenes with profound I'M
derstanding and complete effective
ness. If the story of the peasant
girl now on view at the Cameo The
atre is particularly well done-as its
continued popularity seems to indi-
cate-then it must prove that the
profound understanding and COM
plete effectiveness is best obtained
BY putting a woman to catch a
woman in her most natural moods.

lite directofial triumph.

u. S. WARSHIPS
TO help PEREZ
Anti Imperialists for
Latin American Revolt

That the United States is sending
warships to Venezuela was revealed
today in a dispatch from the head
quarters of the All-Ameriea Anti
Imperialist League in Mexico to the
National Office of the United States
section of the League at 100 Broad
way. The revolutionary uprising
which started in Curacao on June
9th is directed against the Perez
Gomez fascist Wall Street govern
ment of Venezuela. The United
States bankers cannot sit by quietly
while government which has been
protecting Wall Street exploitation
for the last twenty years is threat
ened. The revolutionary movement
is of real mass character, having
the support of the 1000 workers Of
Curacao. =
Part of General Attack.
The movement of U. S. troops tol
Venezuela is part of the imperialistD
policy toward all of Latin-America,
as was brought out in the discussion
at the anti-imperialist conference in
Irving Plaza June Is. 1t is all one
with the diplomatic conversations
between the Portes Gil government
of Mexico and the Catholic Church,
encouraged by Ambassador Morrow,
and the continuance of U. S. troops
in Nicaragua. Albert Moreeu,
speaking for the U. S. section of
the Anti-Imperialist League said,
"The workers of the U. S. must sup
port all genuine revolutionary move
ments in Latin America which are
aimed at the overthrow of govern
ments controlled by Wall st. bank
ers."
The conference showed it's support
of this sentiment when Jose Cuesta
Of the Nationalist Party of Porto
RIGA spoke. His demand for the
complete freedom of Porta Rica was
greeted with cheers and cries of,
Long Live Free Porto Rico"
The conference decided to send a
working class delegation to the In
ternational Congress to be held in
Paris. The Paris Congress is found
necessary because of the rapid in
classification of war preparations
and the strengthening of the al
liances for war against the Soviet
Union. 1t was decided to call on
every sympathetic organization for
funds to make this delegation pos
sible.

Workers Are Friendly.
A prominent CASTOR County off
cial, whose name is withheld for
obvious reasons, expressed himself
as follows this morning:
IF Beal were to walk down the
street in Gastonia this morning,
there are $50 people who might try
to shoot him. Outside of this group,
no one would lay hand or him.
The people here as whole are with
the strikers, I'll tell you some
thing. The night of the shooting,
when crowd of more than a thou
sand people were gathered around
the city hall, volunteers were asked
for to go after the strikers. There
were just three who volunteered"
Such things as these confirm the
estimate of the situation made in
previous dispatches and articles in
the Daily Worker, in which it was
stated that the mill crowd" Off
cials and bosses with their commit
tee of one hundred and the chamber
of commerce gang, small minority
in the community, were responsible
for the terror used against the
strikers and union organizers. Out
side of this crew it is difficult to
find anyone who will openly de-
fend the Manville -Jenckes Co. or
attempt to justify their policy.

Lyle's previous offer to the pris-
oners to release them if they would
refrain from any Grant Park DEM
cnstrations had been quickly and
effectively rejected. Lyle's final
offer of lower bond was similarly
rejected.
Lyle made his offer of release to
the prisoners in a group and then
to each individually. Court off
Gals paid particular attention to the
young girl prisoners, urging them
to accept the judges "msgnani-
nifty" Each rejected the offer
categorically.
After 80 days it is expected that
Judge Lyle will be assigned to
some other court, so that if the case
is tried again it will probably come
before some other judge. This is
the loophole through which Lyle ex-
poets to escape.
