it and can do still more"
YES, A PARTY WRITER!
Haunting the bourgeois critics
who maintain that the Communist
Party owns" the Russian writer's
body and soul and thus devitalizes
their creative substance, GGky has
proved the opposite. 1t Is pre-
cisely during his years of close as
ISOLATION with the revolutionary
labor movement, when he was
owned by the party of Lenin,
that Gorky became the great writer
that he is today, the world-famous
literary artist whom even the bour-
geois critics are forced to recognize
as one of the greatest writer's of all
time. 1t is during that period that
he has become closely attached to
the labor movement of Russia and
the world" Oenin). And during
these years of struggle against
czarism, against reaction, against
capitalist oppression which devital-
lied the best creative forces of the
Russian masses, Gorky grew in
stature as a writer, not despite his
association with the revolutionary
movement, but precisely because of
it. This circumstance is indeed
very irksome to the bourgeois crit
les who would like in Gorky's in
stance to make out case against
propaganda in art For Gorky's
great artistry derives its Importance
and vitality precisely from the fact
that 1t is at the same time great
and far-reaching propaganda.
The meeting at the Bolshoi The
atre was one of many hundreds of
such celebrations throughout the
breadth and the length of the
Soviet land. You are undoubtedly
familiar by now with the contents
OF the greetings and praise ac-
corded Gorky by the Central Com
mittee of the Party, by the lead
ership of the Soviet government,
the trade unions and other public
agencies of the proletarian dicta-
torShip You also know that the
great industrial city of Nizhni-
Novgorod, the central Park of Rec
reation and Culture in Moscow
and the Tverskaya Street in the
same city are from now on to bear
the name of Gorky. But in order
to get an idea of the extent of
Gorky's popularity with the Soviet
masses you would have to read the
thousands of resolutions adopted by
the workers in the factories, the
peasants in the villages and the
Red Army men in their quarters.
You would have to go through
thousands of newspapers, visit hun
dreds of theatres, clubs and other
public halls, listen to hundreds of
earnest, searching, competent lee
lures on Gorky and his works, and
listen to hundreds of splendid
Gorky concerts, where the works of
the great writer and revolutionist
are presented in an overwhelming
variety Of forms. You would have
to be n living contact with the
mass-spirft and the tremendous
mass interest accompanying the
Gorky celebrations in order to APP
preciate fully the inter connection
between literature and socialist up
building in tbs Soviet Union, the
er-connection between artist and
revolutionist, between art and
proletarian rule.
ONE is tempted to quote at length

that have been published in the
Soviet press about Gorky, his work,

WHAT Experimentation
MEANS

Then the author goes on to show
how this conception applies to the
Negroes of this country. He says:
1.-THE right of self-determination
means that the Negro people in
the Black Belt, where they have
formed the majority of the popu-
lation for many generations and
where they have developed as a
people, have the right to set up a
republic Of the Black Belt in which
the Negroes would exercise gov
ernmental authority (and where
the significant white minority
would have full equal rights with
the Negroes) and determine for
themselves whether their country
should be federated to the United
States or have complete political
independence. The Communist
Party strives to unite the Negro
toilers and the white masses of
the country, but this objective can
not be reached until the Negroes
have the freedom-which they do
not have now--to enter of their
own free will and without coercion
into such union" 1t is obvious
from this how reactionary and
false Is the propaganda of the So
cialists, especially Norman Thomas,
(who allowed jim Crowism of the
Negro workers in meetings on his
Southern speaking tour, that self
determination means segregation,
when it actually means the oppo-
site, complete freedom and abso-
Lutte equality.
Allen shows low the very ex-
1Stence of tl'S Negro bourgeoisie
and its leaders, Dubois, White.
Pickens and others, depends on the
existence Of Jim-C Crow districts
where Negro business can thrive.
That is why these leaders" are
trying to keep the Negro masses
faithful to capitalism.
THE only path TO liberation. for
the Negro and white workers is
the path Of revolutionary unity I'M
der the leadership Of the Commu-
Party.
This Is the lesson which Allen
points out Is forced upon us by the
situation today and the history Of
the; Eesr1 uaasees In America,

The Soviet Government yesterday

charged that the consul had abused
the privilege of coded kilograms by
sending to various parts of China
and other countries appeals signed
by Gen. Ma Chen-shan.
The sending of these kilograms
from Soviet soil was deliberate at

war with Japan. 1t was intended to
give the impression that the traitor
Chinese Gen. Ma was operating from
a base on Soviet soil in his latest

his Japanese masters.
This is the same Gen. Ma who last
December sacrificed the lives of
thousands of his soldiers in a fake

ing the Japanese with the pretext to
send troops into Heilungkiang Pro-

years the U.M.W.A. did nothing TO

to leave the kolhoz he can do so and
he gets the money for his stock and

The management of the kolhoz

increasingly clear with the revelation
that Director Anderson Of the Knox

Under the pressure of crystalizins

for the betrayal of the strike This
position taken by the U. M. w. A.
leader of the strike is quite in &C
cord with the silence maintained by
the scale committee as to what
really" tok place at the GAINESVILLE
meeting of the scale committee.
The only report given to the strik-
ers by u M. w. A. officials is that
the U.M.WA. agreed to allow the
operation of mines producing for
public utilities. They say nothing as
to the program in forcing the coal
companies to Withdraw the wage-cut.
1t is clear that the coal companies
have demanded too higr a price for
granting the U.MWA. the check
off" The U.M.W.A. officials are be-
coming frightened Of their own shad-
ows. They realize that it is not so
easy to fool the miners. The miners
are striking against the wsge-cut, no
matter how hard the UM.W.A. Off
Gals will try to supplsnt this strike
against the wage-cut, The official
dom also realizes that it has under
estimated the strength Of the Ma
tional Miners Union. They will soon
realize that by trying to prevent N.

at the strikers meetings they cannot
blind the eyes of the strikers from
seeing their demands. The National
Miners Union will continue guiding

for their immediate needs, and will
continue exposing the U,M.WA. Of
