T!iEi LETTER 'l,"

Some rlt has decioed that the letter "e" is the most unfor-tun- ate letter in the alphabet because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger, and in hell all the time. No little credit i,; due, however in that 1t is never in war, and always in peace. And we are deeply in debted to this little letter, since it is the beginning of existence. the commencement of ease, and the end Of trouble. Without 1t there would be no meat, no life, and no heaven.

By MELVIN LEVY.

Perhaps no phase of life in the So
Wet Union is more fitted for use as
literary material than that of the new
farms.
"Brusski: The Soil Redeemed" is
the first Soviet work of fiction
translated into English that deals
with the struggle on the land, both
between man and nature and the
poor peasants with the kulaks The
story is simple. 1t deals with a group
of poor peasants who establish a col
lective on a piece of land which tie
stupidity of a former noble" owner
and the greed Of kuIak landowner
have allowed to lie idle for genera
tons; and with their battle against
the forces. of nature and those human
forces of superstition and class-an-
tagonism which labor for their defeat.
And behind all this there is a move
ment of turbulent village life, power
fully portrayed
1t is spring when the book opens.
Into a meeting of the village Soviet
comes the poor peasant Stepan Ognev
and demands the use Of Brusski:
II want land, peasants. Brusski,
Just outside the village 1t hasn't
been divided up yet. And so it should
not be wasted we'll take it. We're 60
ing to form a fellowship of the poor"

A HISTORIC NOVEL DEALING WITH
SOVIET FARM COLLECTIVES

At first the idea meets with ridicule
and with enmity from the rich peas
ant, its former owner who still looks
at it with longing eyes. But finally
the fellowship of the poor is started
and in spite of difficulties and pow
erty it slowly triumphs. More and
more of the poor peasants decide to
throw their lot with the collective.
The climax of the book comes with
drought which spreads over the
community and threatens to destroy
the crops The war with nature is
reflected in the war between the
members of the collectives and the
superstition and the interest of those
who desire their failure. On the one
side there are prayers and lamenta-
tons On. the other-the government
provides a tractor. Under the lead
ership of Stepan Ognev work is start
ed on a dam which will irrigate the
fields. The time is short. The in
cident of the dam building is power
full and exciting.

be glad to send a further description
of it contained in the complete cat

Morgan the Magnificent"
Is Exposed by Reviewer

they were paid to represent and
prof1ted heavily from their treachery.
While these two patriots we're making
100 per cent on their loans to the
government, they were actively aiding
the cause of the southern slave
holders" With this paternal tradition
behind him, young Morgan's first
flyer in business was characteristic.
Dur ing the Civil War, every part
of the capitalist class was engaged in
the most gigantic swindles upon the
| government. Morgan, although only
"a, decided to make hay while the
capitalist sun was shining. He bought
5000 rifles which had been con-
demned by the government and sold
these same rifles right back to the
government at an enormous profit.
A congressional inquiry later found
that these rifles were so inefficient
that they shot the thumbs off the
soldiers who fired them.
Inasmuch as Morgan bought him
self out of serving in the army dur
ing the war, he profted almost as
much from the Civil War as his son,
the present j. P. Morgan, prof1ted
from the last war.
In 1893, one of those terrific busi-
ness depressions that are as much a
part of capitalism as mass misery
and hunger, threw more than 3,000,-
900 workers out of employment.
Scores of militant workers were
thrown in jail, street meetings of
workers were forbidden and the
working class in general was sub
jected to the same fierce repression
that is being manifested in the pres
ent crisis. President Cleveland, who
is universally termed as a man of
the people" by liberal" historians,
called on Morgan to save the coun-
try" Morgan was only too willing.
He and his syndicate loaned the gov
eminent $4,000, 0O0-for which Cleve-
land paid them $18,oo0.000.
! When Morgan was at the height
of his power, he organized the United
States Steel Corporation. The trust
was capitalized at 81 200 100000. Every
bit of this over the $50,000,000 that
Carnegie's Steel Company was worth,
was pure water. In this single trans
So -, Morgan and his few associates
stole over a billion dollars between
them. According to Winkler, "the
steel corporation was Morgan's mas
terpiece." We don't doubt it, 1t is
pretty difficult for even an American
capitalist to steal billion dollars
more than once in a lifetime.
In order to pay dividends on and
squeeze the water out of this billion
dollars of watered stock, Morgan's
company drove its workers in the
most hellish speed-up America has
ever known. Every man worked on a

MORGAN THE MAGNIFICENT"
BY JOHN X. WINKLER
Vanguard Press
BY ALLAN JOHNSON

1t is possible that Mr.. Winkler, like
so many scholars" reads everything
and understands nothing. But it is
far more probable, if his biography of
Morgan can be taken as evidence.
that Winkler is one of that pitiful
breed of writers who are only too
eager to cast halo about the head
of any member of the ignoble great
who has managed to steal large
fortune.
Winkler's Morgan is a god (Winkler
actually calls him that sort of
superhuman person who through
superiority in intellect, physique and
courage became the greatest indi-
vidual the world of finance had ever
known" Moreover, Morgan is de-
picted as a patron of the arts, Goth
century Lorenzo the Magnificent, and
q stern but kind-hearted man who
endowed hospital every morning
before breakfast and permitted child
rem to entwine his huge watch chain
around their little fingers.
Winkler unwittingly permits us to
catch a glimpse into the machinery
of modern myth-making. Here is
Morgan, a bestial crook if one ever
lived, portrayed as a superman so
magnifcently endowed that the
workers of America should thank
their lucky stars that so great man
as he once directed their lives. In
the panic of 1908" says Winkler,
Morgan was the dictator of the
United States in all save formal title"
and the inference is that the workers
Of America we're stupid for not grant
ing him the title as well.
Winkler Creates False Impression.
The important facts in the follow
ing brief resume of Morgan's life are
available to anyone who is willing to
spend few hours in research in any
good library. Needless to say, Wink
Ter doesn't mention any of them, ex-
cept in two instances; when he dis
cusses Morgan's sale of condemned
rifles to the u S. Army and when he
mentions the formation of the United
States Steel Corp. In each case,
Winkler deliberately paints an mac
curate picture, as cursory examina-
ton of the records will reveal.
John Pierpont Morgan was the son
of Junius Spencer Morgan, a clerk
who later became the partner of
Peabody, financial representative of
the United States government in
England during the Civil War. Ac-
cording to the New York Evening
Post of Oct. 26th, 1866, Peabody and
Morgan undermined the very cause
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-11-15

and he occasionally drops a sentence
that is reminiscent of a 10th century
Bostonian preacher of the gospel.
Nowhere in the biography is there an
indication that Morgan's fortune
was built up through exploiting mil
lions of workers in this country, The
author evidently has no quarrel with
the capitalistic system. This is the
fundamental weakness of the book.
The book is an interesting comment
on the Vanguard Press, which not so
long ago solicited dollar bills from
radicals on the plea that it would
publish books dealing with labor
problems from a militant point of
view. May we expect soon landa-
tory biography of Legs Diamond, or
perhaps of Mussolini?
