Govt. Abandons Plan To
 Sell Alaska Cable System

Representations made by Alaska delegate to Congress James Wickersham, combined with protests from practically every section of the Territory and Pacific Coast states have resulted in the federal gov ernment abandoning its in- tention of selling the Washing ton-Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System, according to Washington advices.
 As will be recalled by Her aid readers, a bill was sub- mitted by the War department to the last Congress authoriz- ing the sale of the system. No action was taken by the com mittee to which the measure was taken. To prevent the in- troduction of a similar meas ure in the present Congress, delegate Wickersham made a special plea to Secretary of War Hurley, setting forth the various reasons why the gov ernment should not dispose of the system.
 A very gratifying reply was received from General Doug las McArthur, chief of staff, enclosing correspondence with the president, in which the for mer said:
 "As you will see from this correspondence, the War De- partment is in general agree ment with your point of view. m the absence of further in- struction, the department does not intend to reintroduce the legislation in question:"
 In addressing President Hoov- CT on the important subject Secretary Hurley among other things said: T am enclosing a letter from the Alaska Dele gate, wherein he urges on the part of the people of Alaska that no legislation be initiated authorizing the sale of the Alaska Communications Sys- tenn. As expressed in my letter of Dec. 3, 1880, the War De- partment, per SC, had no ob- jection to this sale; however, 1t is understood that the con- mittee which originated the recommendation for sale did not at any time obtain a per tinant expression from the people or government of Alas ka. This being the case, it would appear that the enclos- ed letter of the Delegate might well be taken into considera- ton before resubmitting legis- lation to Congress-"
 The President undoubtedly took into consideration the let ter of the Delegate, with the result that the sale of the system will not be authorized.

~ AHAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL vi
Premier Holds Novel
 New Year Event

Premier residents celebrated the going out of the old year and the advent of the new with another of the novel New Year celebrations which have for years been one of the out standing annual entertain ment events of the district.
 This year the entertainment took place in the charming and colorful setting of a Jap- anese tea garden and was in ! many respects the prettiest of all previous New Year celebra- tions held at Premier. The entertainment took the usual cabaret form and was held under the auspices of the Pre- mier Community Club.
 The big Community hall pre- sented a most pleasing spec tacle. Cherry trees, resplend- ant in pink blossoms and with the spires of quaint pagodas reeping through the foliage, formed a delightful setting and the colorful effect was further enhanced by beams from numerous vari colored Japanese lanterns. The Orient al atmosphere was carried out faithfully throughout, even the walters, waitresses and orchestra being clothed in Japanese costumes, while chop suey formed the main feature of the supper menu.
 The entertainment program was distinctly pleasing and in cluded songs by Miss Eliza beth Pitt; a clever duet in cos tune by Miss Lilly Davidson and George Neysmith; a duet by Mrs. Stanley Alton and Miss Helen Smith; comedy skit by T. Dunn and Coley Klunk and a pretty presenta- tion of the intficacies of the Argentine tango by Miss Lilly Davidson and Alex. Murry.
 Promptly as the stroke of midnight heralded the passing of old 1881, a huge bubble burst suddenly with a loud re- port and revealed the New Year, 1882, represented by little Nelson Embleton. The manner of presenting the New Year was entirely unusual and unexpected and proved most effective.
 The entertainment was at tended by three sleigh loads of visitors from Hyder and Stewart and the fun lasted un- til 3:30 a. m. New Years morning, with everyone enjoy ing a splendid time.

claimed the end of Gorky as q
creative writer. The proletarian
class purpose Of Gorky's writings
heats the foes blood to the boiling
point. But Gorky cannot but look
with diSdain at the vain and inn
potent outcrieS of Merezhkovsky,
of zinaida Hippius, the lackeyE
of the Russian aristocrats, mer-
chants and manufacturers whom
the iron broom of the revolution
has swept out of the Workers
Fatherland. The revolution has
not weakened but deepened
Gorky's genius. His last work,
Kiln Samgin's Life" paints a
gigantic social picture; in it hun
dreds of psychological portraits are
drawn and an entire class is ana
lyzed in concrete, historically in
tegrated manner. This work ex-
poses the class enemy. With Kiln
Samgins Life Gorky participates
most directly in the struggle led by
the Communist Party.
GORKY FESTIVAL TONIGHT
In the United States also we
are at present witnessing the rise
of a proletarian literature. A host
of new young working class writer's
are coming to the fore, armed with
revolutionary class consciousness,
fighting capitalist theology in the
domain of art. These writer's must
learn from Gorky how to apply the
method of dialectic materialism
and the MarXist-Leninist concep-
ton of the world TO the problems
of artistic creation.
Tonight, at the Central Opera
House, a huge Gorky Festival, held
under the auspices of the Revolu-
tionary Writer'S Federation, will
take place. Joseph Freeman,
Moissaye j. Olgin, Michael Gold,
John Dos Passos and other speak
ers will dwell on different facets
of Gorky's career as writer and
revolutionist. All workers and
revolutionary intellectuals should
participate in paying homage to
Maxim Gorky, the great leader Of
the cultural revolution.

Irish Worker Pays A
Glowing Tribute to

Editor, the Daily Worker:
Dear Sir
1t may seem little late to Offer

not only a personal shock when
the news reached here, but 1 ven

Comrade Engdahl embodied all
that was great as a leader of the
proletariat. In fact, his early death
showed his unselfishness. Indeed,
he may be ranked as one of our
martyrs. Others more skilled may
eulogize him, but /, in my own
little way can venture him as the
very essence of tolerance and sin
certify. Perhaps I just heard him
once, and that was in the Bronx
Coliseum when Tom MONEYS
mother and the mother of the
Scottsboro boys were guests of hon.
or. That night I was convinced
that he was great man, worthy
of respect and champion of all
races and creeds. Too bad more
like myself did not hear him. I'm
fortunately, many do not know
such characters and are ever ready
to libel them simply because they
are Communists. Too bad so many
of the Irish we're absent on that
occasion, for this great man in
glowing tribute and without ami
mus, paid wonderful compliment
to them, however undeserving most
OF them were OF 1t. Sad to say

not clear at the time.
Waters was not elected by the
u. T.. F.-more democacy.) The
pamphlet tells just how Waters did
get his high post, which led him
to think of himself as another
Mussolini, or another Hitler.
Robertson, one of the leaders Of
the California group, betrayed the
men he was supposed to lead AS
soon as it was possible, for the men
possessed a real fighting spirit,
Robertson led them into a vacant
lot, and the police helped him keep
them there. Robertson was Glass
ford'S man.
THE pamphlet tells Of the mutiny
Of the marines in the company
which was ordered out, and why
"the troops that were later used
against the veterans were picked
for their extreme youth, none out
Of his teens, and the marines not
used at ALL"
Felix Morrow has told the story
clearly and forcefully.
The Bonus March was OF nation

Treachery Against Workers

ever, as great thinker is for the
purpose of robbing Marxism of its
most important element, namely,
revolution. 1t is not an accident
at all that Engels in his famous
speech at the grave of Marx, in
referring to Marx as the greatest
thinker, emphasized the point that
''above all else, Marx was a reyo-
lutionist."
In 1880, Thomas In his book
stated: "Wokers of the world unite,
you have only your chains to lose
and a world to gain-is a magnifi-
cent slogan. 1t is not an exact
statement of fact. The idea of
the class struggle is a very effec-
tive organizing myth to hold the
workers together" But, in the
fourth year Of the crisis, it is a
bit too dangerous to attempt to
appear as Party of Socialism
and at the same time say that the
class struggle is a myth and the
international unity of the workers
is not AN exact statement of fact"
Left phrases and left maneuverS
must be used in order to retain
TIL cir treacherous leadership
amongst the workers. Therefore
the sudden change" from the
above statements of Thomas to a
declaration in an article in the
New Leader in the December 10
issue that ''Marxism is the nyest
force in the world today"
If We want to get some idea Of
this MarXism of the Socialist Party,
let us consider for a moment the
article of A. L., evidently Algernon
Lee New Leader article, Dec. ID,
which winds up with a call for the
study of Marxism, but begins with
the inSinuation that the Hunger
March is the work of stool pigeons.
A MORE exact idea of the Marx
IA ism of the S. P. can be OBJ
tanned from an article on plan
ming which appeared in the Dec.
II issue of the New Leader. Mr..
Douty, the writer of the article,
gives us the idea of the S. P. of
how the workers can gain power.
He says before we can have gen.
uine Socialist economic planning,
the workers and farmers must gain
control of the factories, mines, rail-
roads-of the vast productive ap-
paratus OF present-day United
States. The precise method needed
to accomplish this end will depend
on the course of historical events"
(Our EMPHASIS. d. Talk to the
workers about the need of gain
ing power, but leave out the dan
gerous" aspects of how to gain it!
This 'MarXist," Douty, leaves to
fate "the precise method" of gain
ing control of the means of pro-
duction. OF course such maneu-
yer on his part is not accidental.
The workers, becoming more rad
1calized, seeing more plainly the
control OF monopoly finance cap
ttal, become more convinced of the
need of bringing about new So
ciety. On the one hand, left
phrases by the S. P. leaders about

hand holding back the workers as

further: 1.-THE ownership OF indus
try must be taken from the cap

But how, by what program, by
what method? This he leaves to
the development of historical
events. -" He even winds up his
article with a call for the estab-
lishment of a classics society, but
here, too, we are left in the dark
as to how it should be done. Per-
haps Mr.. Thomas's scheme of rails
ing bonds to buy out the industries
from Mr.. Ford Morgan and Rookie
Teller; to classics society not
through proletarian revolution but
by purchasing the industries from
Rockefeller! This is the Marx
ism" of the Socialist Partyl
For Marx the class struggle was
not an organizing myth" The
historical slogan of the Communist
ManifeSto-Workers Of the World
unite-was for Marx indeed an ex-
act statement of fact. Marx said
that "the class war indiSpensibly
leads to the dictatorship of the
proletariat. That this dictatorship
is only transition to the destruc-
ton of any classes and to society
without classes"
The "Marxism" of the S. P. is a
"Marxisrn" for bourgeois democ-
racy and against the dictatorship
of the proletariat. It is a treach-
erous program which has abso-
1utely nothing in common with
MarXism- Leninisin. For the S. P.
some of its present left maneuvers,
it's chatter of classics Socialist So
ciety, is only cover for growing
treachery.
FOR the Communists the class
L struggle in the words of Marx
leads indispensibly to the dictator
ship of the proletariat. The Soviet
Union is already realizing the
teachings of Marx "thrpsgh the
dictatorship to the establishment
of classics society"
Thomas, in his book, Americas
Way Out, declared: ''The at
tempt to derive the Socialist an
swer solely from Marxism O. is
not only to waste energy but to
deepen the gulf between theology
and the practice of the Socialist
Parties" page 140.) For the
purpose of left maneuvers, the
S. p. has decided now TO turn
revolutionary Marxism into the

phrases and the practical treach-
cries of the S. P. now is wider

EDITED FIRST
PROLETARIAN ANTHOLOGY

In 1914 on the eve of the i'm
perialist war, Gorky edited the
first anthology Of proletarian lit
erature ever published. At that
time even many of our own
comrades considered proletarian
art to be an idle dream. Gorky,
however, was pulsing with faith
and enthusiasm for the creative
potentialities of the toiling masses.
Il am firmly convinced" he wrote
in the preface. that the prole-
tariat is capable of creating its own
imaginative literature, just as it
has succeeded in creating-through
great toll and colossal sacrifices
its own daily press. This convic-
ton grew in me on the basis of
my constant observation of hun
dreds of workers and peasants
who, with the greatest stubborn
ness, have attempted to put on
paper their thoughts about life,
their experiences and feelings
The publication of this anthol-
ogy, a pioneer effort, represented
an act of Bolshevik will and or
ganization on the part of Gorky.
And the workers have not failed to
realize that Gorky is one of them,
marvelously potent creator who
translates their daily struggles and
aspirations into the imagery of art.
Statistics show that in all work
ers' libraries Gorky's books are the
most popular, most in demand.
This attitude of the workers to
Gorky bespeaks singularly tender
feeling Of pure class love.
FOR forty years Gorky has been
creating works of enduring
power In these we discern the
three great elements of the prole-
tartan consciousness: the power of
