It must have been with a sense of
deem satisfaction and of pleasure
that Mrs. John G.. Sharp came back
to the old home town after an alb
sence of two years. Every one was
so glad to welcome her back even
though it was just for a visit and not
to be one of us permanently. Dr.
Sharp, too, came in for his share OF
the fluctuations, and rightfully so.
They have established their resi-
dence at San Diego, California, and
while they like it very much, and
the climate is all that one would
want, they still have a tender spot
in their heart for Delaware and for
Milford. Much entertaining is being
done for Mrs. Sharp. Miss Ida Rosa
and Mrs. Elec Rosa gave party on
Thursday evening of last week with
Mrs. Blanche Davis Bundick sharing
the hOnors with Mrs. Sharp. Mrs.
Bundick has made California her
home, too, for the past two years.
The Rosa party was one of a series
they will give this summer for the
pleasure of their friends.

a delightful party at her home at the
edge of town on Tuesday evening.

large number of friends, and gave
the party in honor of her house
guest, Mrs. Sharp. 1t was warm
evening generally speaking, but the
breezes at the Watson home were
cool enough to make each one COM
Portable and the time spent at cards
was much enjoyed. One guest, in
speaking of the party remarked
about the flowers. She said "They
were simply gorgeous" Large vases
of the snowy gladiolas, and in ether
arrangements delphinium and pink

Support the "Working Woman"

women are employed in industry-they repre-
sent cheap labor-power.
Secondly, when one considers the fearful
unemployment crisis, which compes all men,
bers of the family to look for work, then one
has another angle of the situation that has
driven 100000 women into work.
You call this "breaking up the home"? OF
course it has broken it up-capitalists are
not interested in the working class home ex-
cept to get high rent out Of it. The capitalist
wants cheap labor and does not stop at
women, married women and mothers--he even
takes the children and forces them on to the
beet-fields into oyster canneries, southern tex
tile mills, into the sweatshop industries.
The time has come for the whole working
class to realize that women are permanent
part Of industry-that the working girl who
marries in the hope of getting out of indus
try and trade, soon finds herself back again
in the shop, office or store.
The time has come for the workers to realize
that women must be drawn into the working
class organizations. Have working women not
demonstrated their fighting ability? Have
they not been militant fighters and leaders in
strikes of the needle, textile, food and shoe
workers? Have they not faced police and
sherffs with great heroism? Are not many

In the New York HeraldTribune of Sept.
8, Mr.. Haywood Broun, socialist" candidate
for Congress, had big advertisement, cost
ing a couple of hundred dollars assuring whom
ever it may concern that he is not a Com
munst. He reprints with indignation the
cartoon of Burck in the Daily Worker fay-
ing him a monkey begging for pennies
for the unemployed Broun says, 81 am not
a Communist l am a socialist
But Mr.. Broun's excitement is needless.
He need not be in such hurry to assure his
masters that he is harmless They know it
already. That's why he is fed at the trough
of the brass check That's why his rabid ut
terances are spread through the capitalist
press
A Political Fool
1t is true that while using him as tool,
along with the socalfascsts generally, to
confuse the workers, even the capitalist press
can't refrain from laughing at him. He is
natural born political fool, his stupidity
reaching new heights in his attempts to
convert the republican party to Socialism"
through Mrs. Pratt. Burck was right,
monkey cutting up monkey shines, begging
pennies for capitalism for the understands
Broun
Mr.. Broun is right when he says he is no
Communist. Communists are revolutionists.

lives and liberty in the struggle to over
throw capitalism. What has Mr. Broun in
common with all that? Just nothing. No
more than his peer, Norman Thomas. To
overthrow capitalism is the very last thing
either of them thinking Of.
Broun Is Just Beginning
Mr. Broun is also right when he says he is
"socaist'-that is a Socialist of the
Socialist party brand that simply parades
the name, but that has forgotten Marx

he knows yet is the open opportunist ma

The New Masses" and Proletarian
Literature

dedicated to proletarian literature ought to
have heard sometime and read some place
that there can be no revolutionary movement
without a revolutionary theory We expected
them to know enough not to underestimate
the value of the kind of proletarian literature
produced by such institutions as the Inter
national Publishers. But our expectations
were evidently unjustified.
There may be an underproduction of So
called light proletaran literature in Amer
lea: but this is due primarily to the barren
ness and sterility of the selfstyled American
proletarian writer's" Most of what they pro-
duce does not breathe the spirit of the pro-
letariat. Most of these writers do not under
stand the worker, and do not know the
workers thoughts. They cannot reproduce
and interpret in literature the American
worker his world and his aspirations, and
the process of revolutionary transformation
of them. If the publishers and editors Of
the "only magazine dedicated to proletarian
literature in America" would study a little
more intensely and follow little more
closely the contents of the literature published
by the "stodgy and unenterprsing' Inter
national Publishers it might fecundate the
proetarian quality of their literary produc-
tions, as well as their literary style.
Until such time, however those active in
the revolutionary movement in America, those
who dedicate their lives and activities to the
building up of revolutionary Party to the
organizing of the working class of America
into revolutionary army will have to depend
solely upon the theoretical directions given
them in the works Of Lenin and Marx, upon
the inspiration given them in biographies and
memoirs of Marx Lenin, Vera Figner and
Bill Haywood, and upon the experience trans
mitted to them in the histories of the working
class, of the Internationals, in the theoretical
works, and in the historical sketches and ar
ticles written by Marx, Engels, Lenin and
others, such as are being published by the
International Publishers.

By MAX BEDACHT.

In the New Masses" of Sept, $780, we
find an editorial paragraph headed Dogma
vs. Law" In this paragraph we are treated
to the following categoric statement
1--WE have only one magazine in America:
The New Masses, dedicated to proletarian
literature. And there~is no publishing house
of standing and intelligent direction to help
clarity the issues. Nearest is the Interna-
tional Publishers, perhaps, but this house
devotes itself solely to rather academic
approach to economics and makes little at
tempt to influence either the popular mind
or our intellectuals. 1t is as stodgy and
unenterpYising, in Communist way, as the
Yale University press arr similar organiza-
tions"
it is rather surprising to find such para
graph in a magazine which claims to be
dedicated to proletarian literature
First Of all, we would expect from "the
only magazine dedicated to proletarian lit
erature in America" more correct conception
of proletarian literature. According to the
New Masses, Ryazanev's Karl Marx and
Friedrich Engels," Stoklov's History of the
First International" Lenins "Materialism and
EmpirioCriticism," and similar writings is
sued by the International Publishers, are not
proletarian literature. OF course, we do not
know on what grounds the New Masses re-
fuses to qualify such books as proetarian
literature Are they ruling these books out
because they are not literature, or are they
refusing to acknowledge them proletarian?
1t seems to me that a magazine that claims
to be dedicated to proletarian literature"
should attach a little more Importance to the
theory of Marx and Lenin than to rule the
books of these revolutionists out of the CLASH
fication of proetarian literature, or to de-
clare that publishing house that specializes
in the bringing out of such literature lacks
intelligent direction. The writers and adj
mnistrators of "the only American magazine

Not Exactly a Book Review

A little volume" is announced as soon to be
published, in which the Great Engineer" who
don't know engine from hand-saw is to
deal with the subject Of fish. Hoover is
Mighty Fisherman as many dumbbells have
been before him, and the booklet, we under
stand, is to be made up Of two speeches. one
delivered by him to the Izaak Walton League
of America when he was elected the second time
to the presidency (of the League, we hasten to
say, because he will never be president Of the
U.S.A. any more), and the other is speech
ITO the People of Virginia"
We cite what he said in the last speech as
bearing out the idea that the same great mind
which was going to solve the question of poverty
and have prosperity back in 60 days, also
knows thing or two about removing the cause
of crime. He said:
81 assure you that the increase in crime is
due to a lack of those qualities Of mind and
character which impregnate the soul Of every
fisherman"
When we go to jail next, and the warden
asks us if we want to learn a trade to redeem
our soul, we'll ask to be sent up to Rapidan.
