The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-12-23
BY PHILIP RAHV

DROLErARIAN literature is a
reality. The working class the
world over is seething with new
creative powers, comageously and
passionately striving to express its
dynamic, world-changing thought
and feeling in the language of art
and literature. Maxim Gorky,
whose fortieth year of participa-
ton in the struggle on the cul-
tural front we are now celebrat-
ing, is the leading figure to whom
The proletarian and revolutionary
writer's of all countries owe a great
debt of gratitude, for Gorky is the
father and teacher of this new ar
tistic articulation.
Gorky's whole life as artist,
Journalist, editor, leader of the
proletarian literary movement,
fighter against imperialist war and
capitalist interyention-a lifetime
of intense and manifold class ac-
ton dedicated to the interests of
the proletariat-is a living symbol
of the cultural revolution, banner
of victory IN the hands of the class
to whom the future belongs. Lenin
clearly perceived the immense
class value of Gorky's creations:
"Gorky,' he said. 'is the greatest
representative of proletarian art.
He has accomplished much, and
will accomplish even more. In
the DOMAIN of art Gorky is I'M
doubtedly an authority"

no wonder then, that AlgernOn
Lee declared recently in the New
Leader that Socialism can be
built only when the capitalists
will get out of the crisis! Help
the capitalists get out of the
crisis by accepting their murder
Gus attacks upon the working
Socialism,,
A leading editorial in the New
York Times, in its Dec. 10 issue,
also helps to explain this attempt
to dress UP the Socialist Party in
Marxisrn, to make it appear more
as a party of the working class, to
make easier its treacheries and
crushing of the growing struggles
of the workers. This editorial can
not find words enough to shower
praises upon Thomas for stand
ing by his Socialist guns Social
ist guns that will never strike at
capitalism. This New York Times
editorial is one in connection with
Nation on the future Of the So
Cialist Party. Thomas, in his ar
ticle in the Nation, refuses to &C
cept the advice to abandon the
name Socialist Party. His answer
is in substance that now more than
ever before it is necessary to re-
tain the name of the Socialist
Party He rebukes his advisers for
their dislike for the practical con-
tact with these same working
masses" -contact necessary in or
der to deliver the workers to the
bankers!
5. P. NEEDS LEFT PHRASES
If the Socialist Party fs to live
up to its role as the third party of
capitalism, as the social-fascist
party of American capitalism, it
must retain its left phrases, its
appearance as a working class
party, and by all means retain the
traditions connected with the So
clalist Party name. That is why
the New York Times speaks of Mr..
ThomaS's article in the Nation on
the future of the Socialist Party
as one which answers his advisers
with "a great deal of force" 1t
agrees with Norman Thomas that
the name should not be changed,
as the program of the Socialist
Party lis of great benefit, particu-
larry to the working classes" The
organ of finance capital in New
York City keeps its party on the
right track. The New York Times
is also against changing the name
of the S. P. The Times is also
anxious that the Socialist Party
should maintain its practical
contact with the masses. Because
only such a Socialist Party can
really be useful for the capitalist
class. Such a party, by its pres
ence within the ranks of the work
ing class, with the aid of left
phrases, will help finance capital
to put the burdens of the crisis on
the shoulders of the workers.
TIE recent 18th Plenum of the
Executive Committee of the
Communist International pointed
out "onIy by directing the main
blows against social democracy,
this social mainstay of the bour-
geoisie--wiIl 1t be possible TO strike
out and defeat the chief class
enemy of the proletariat-the
bourgeoisie." The line of the 18th
Plenum resolution in our fight
against social fascism must be
taken up as the very basis in de-
veloping our fight for winning the
majority of the working class and
overcoming our isolation and sec
tarianiSm.
The recent MARKHAM dressings of
the Socialist Party are part of its
left maneuyerinq.

abroad, where every inch OF
ground must yield a fair return, the
corn cookie decided to come to America,
where there were millions of acres OF

for her family.
wheat fields are the goal Of every

farmer hates it intensely.
The cookies house is closed except to
those who will serve her best, and these
guests are the long-tongued bees, but

at the base of deep tubes, and it is so
packed by the stamens and f1ve-styled

get past them to sip the sweet.

This Quilt Is Easy, 1t Is,

- perhaps we should call this wig
wag' quilt, rather than Flying Square
It looks as If the flags were unfurled
and ready to spell message. That
message is this. If you want to be
smart this year, you make quilt
There was much truth in Nancy's
statement to her quilt club members
Making quilts has taken women by
storm It's such a sociable affair
quilt making. Into your work bag
you tuck some gay bits of print or
calico, and then, as you gossip, you
stitch. It's question whether the
tongue or the needle goes more rapidly.
This quilt uses up all sorts of scraps.
Even though the long pieces are shown
es plain white you may like the quilt
better If you use a white print with
small black figures scattered over the
ground Don't have too close pattern.
Try to approximate small polka dots
in effect
You may obtain the full size pattern
for this quilt by following directions.

When the automobile was invented,
people talked jokingly about 1t. Thirty
years ago I read this In q popular
magazine:
"The horseless carriage Is all the 60,
Poor old horsey will have no show;
He will be happy in pastures green.
Never more In the harness to be SEEN"
Few believed what the writer said.
There were skeptics who, tied to the
past and present, couldn't figure out
how the horse could be replaced Take
the automobile away today and a panic

What about the future? There are
many minds today running away ahead
Of the automobile, the furnace In your
basement, the telephone on your desk.
But where lies the big field for inven-
ton In the future? What we most
need, and will continue to need, are
improvement on control Of social life.
Some day we will find the answer. But
unlike other inventions, this one yet to
come will be made, not by one man,
but by the majority.

No seam allowance is made in the
pattern as given, SO be sure to allow
one-quarter inch on all sides for SEAM
ing.
, This quilt is prettiest when it is made
, up in all-over pattern. That is, the
blocks are pieced as shown and then
repeated until the desired size is OBJ
tanned. There is no sash or strip con-
meeting various blocks.
Be sure that seams are straight and
even. Be sure that knot is at end
of thread when you start to sew Be
sure you make lasting finish to the
seam. Press all seams before getting
ready to quilt the top.
A quilt for large size or double bed
should be 80 inches wide and anywhere
from 80 to 108 inches long. This quilt
will not be pulled up over the pillow.
SO 90 inches may prove to be long
ercugh.
A single bed takes a quilt 70 inches
wide. A three-quarter size bed re-
quires a quilt 78 inches wide The
length does not vary. 1t remains the
same no matter what the width of the
bed may be.
In using squares. plaids, stripes, be
sure that the pattern is cut true and

AUTO INDUSTRY is READY
81 don't own a car"

Il don't own car.
That admission has a guilty ring, so
guilty that it must be accompanied by ex-
plantations or defenses in this day and age
when one out of every four Americans
owns a car and when no income is too
small to deny that pride of possession.
This has been poor automobile year
compared with recent 12-month periods,
but 1888 holds forth prospects of a salts
factory recovery From present indications
it will be better year from production and
sales standpoints
Of all large industries the automobile
industry will be the first to recover from
the slump because it helps itself. 1t is
now completing new models for the
January and February automobile shows
that will be irresistible in workmanship
design, performance and price. There Is
such thing as making business, and this
industry has made it fine art.
The truth is that our mode of living
is profoundly influenced in ever new ways
by the cheap, fast, durable and now indis-
pensable automobile. What was once
luxury has become utility. The once COM
mon term, pleasure car" no longer ex-
presses the common attitude toward the
automobile.

A RAILROAD NICKNAME

How chance remark may be per-
petuated is illustrated by the nickname
which has chung to the New York, Chicago
l. st. Louis Railroad for nearly half cen
fury.
Opened to traffic in 1882, the road was
only moderately successful in its early
years In 1885 the owners sought to sell
it to the New York Central and named a
price. As the story goes. when Commodore
Vanderbilt was informed of the figure
named he roared: Il wouldn't pay that
If the tracks were nickel plated"
Later price was agreed upon. how
ever. and Vanderbilt bought the New York,
Chicago & st. Louis. But to this day the
road is known rs the Nickel Plate.

EVERYBODY SHOULD VOTE

Everybody eligible should vote at the
election next Tuesday, and one can not adj
vance any good reason, except illness, for
keeping away from the polls.
Voting as duty and privilege has
been emphasized over and over again. but
the element of self-interest should also be
taken into consideration.
Why let the other fellow or the other
woman choose for you what kind of ma
tional, state and county government you
shall have? Why not do your own choos-
ing?
It is a peculiar thing that most people
who do not vote regularly are remiss in
that regard for reasons that are directly
opposite to each other.
One will say that it is useless for him
to vote because his candidate has not a
chance of success at the polls, and the
other that his candidate does not need his
vote because he is going to win anyhow.
Such reasoning, in either case, is
fatuous, because nobody knows what will
be the results of an election.
Add together all the votes that were
not registered for candidate, because it
was thought he did not have chance, and
they might have been enough to have cleo
ted him. In the other case, the votes that,
supposedly, were not needed, might have
caused the defeat of the candidate that
was "sure" to win.
Not an election of any consequence
has been held in this country that could
not have been changed by the number of
registered votes that were not cast
The man or woman who exclaims
about his or her vote, ooh, what's the use!"
is not good citizen, because one can not
be good citizen in a democracy if he is
not concerned sufficiently in it to vote.
AS rule, people of that type are the
ones who do the most complaining about
the way the government, local. state, or
national, is conducted, whereas they have
no right whatever to say anything about it,
good or bad, for they were not instrumental
in it's formation.
So vote next Tuesday, and if you are
on the losing side, be satisfied in the real
ization that you performed your duty; if
you are on the winning side, rejoice with
the majority in feeling that your successful
choices will promote the interests of your
country, your state, your county.
