Wings Over Washington
BY LEN DE CAUX

who
pooh-pooh the idea of Fascism in the
United States are avoiding arguments
in Washington these days. For al
most overnight the alignment of fore
es against the San Francisco general
strike produced all the elements of an
American variety of Fascism except a
one-and-only Hitler or Mussolini with
an American name.
When Hitler and his Nazis seized in
Germany, they did not have to fight
the existing democratic government
On the contrary, preceding govern
ments prepared the way for them by
suppressing labor militancy the only
force that could have smashed Fascism
before il grew to power. German in
dustrialists financed Hitler's gunner
and rowdies to break up all forms Of
labor organization, but particularly to
destroy the militant elements in la
boris ranks. Meanwhile liberal" Ger
man governments winked at Fascist
violence or openly encouraged it, while
they suppressed workers attempts to
fight off the Nazi ~terrorists. While
militants we're shot down by Storm
Troopers and democratic" police, doc
ility and conservatism in labor leader
ship was rewarded with the sweets oil
office. And then came Hitler
Gen. Johnson's speech at the Uni
versity of California on the second day
Of the general strike was almost word
for word the sort of speech that pre-
pared the way for German Fascism
The generals stomach may have fell
sick, as he said, when Fascists killed
Fascists, but he showed no qualms al
the shooting of striking workers on the
Pacific Coast. On the contrary, he
launched into a violent attack on the
general strike, calling it bloody in
surrection' (but not saying whose
blood was shed by whom. Like the
German Nazis and their forerunners
Johnson conferred his main attack on
labor militants, suggesting that "the
people should wipe out this subver-

sive element" if the government failed
TO do so.
When this provocative speech was re-
ported in Washington, the first re-
action was that johnson had put his
foot in it again." and stories were re-
peated about the different administra-
ton politicians seeking reelection who
had asked that johnson be kept out OF
their states. When after this speech
Johnson was actually made the chief
agent of the federal government to
stop the strike, only those who saw
elements of Fascism in the whole sit
uation were not surprised.
.
The bands of rowdies, or so-called
"~vigilantes", organized by the San
Francisco employers, offer the closest
possible parallel to the first %organiza-
ton of German Storm Troopers and
Italian Facist gangs. They were form
ed for exactly the same immediate
purpose - to intimidate labor by law
less terrorism, by raiding and smash
ing workers halls, beating up leaders,
breaking up meetings. And as in Eu-
rope, the police followed close behind
to arrest, not the employers thugs,
but the generally defenseless workers
whom they attacked. OF course, the
radicals were picked on first, as in
Italy and Germany, but labor men who
think their moderation will save them
once Fascism gets going will get small
comfort if they look abroad.
Before the raids were made, Vice
Pres. Charles Wheeler of the Nc
Cormick Steamship Line was quoted
in the press as telling San Francisco
Rotarians that these raids would be
made with government consent" And
certainly the California authorities did
nothing to disprove this statement. The
federal authorities too provided lib
erals" with their customary %disappoint-
ment. Not a word was uttered in
Washington against employer-instigat-
ed and Recommendations Fascist
rowdyism; not a finger was lifted to
protect the oft-reiterated right to
strike" against legal and illegal vio-
lence. On the contrary, johnson swept
this right aside by calling it civil war
army and navy stood by to smash the
strike - if police, National Guard and
employers gunner should fail and
the immigration authorities took an
active part in intimidating strikers and
sympathizers unfortunate enough to
have chosen America for their country
instead Of being born into it.

Against the worst wave of red
raids" since Mitchell Palmer's days,
Sec. of Labor Perkins had nothing to
say. On the contrary, when Gov. Mer-
riam asked for a deportation drive
against radicals or alleged radicals in
volved in the strike, she declared that
"the Dept. of Labor will cooperate
with California officials to the full ex-
tent authorized by law" and that i'm
migration authorities in California had
been instructed TO act with prompt
ness" in any deportable cases arising
at this time.

An important change in the presen-
tation of the National Symphony Or
chestra's children's concerts for the
coming season Is noted with the an
nouncement today Of the dates OF
these concerts. Instead Of planning
two series of concerts, one called
"Children's Concerts" and one STU
dents Concerts" as in seasons past,
only one series Of six events Is sched-
uled. Conductor Hans Kincler stated,
before he left for Europe, that he be-
lieyed the concerts could be made
more coherent and interesting to a
greater number Of children by this
consolidation. In order to make the
children's events still more effective
from an educational standpoint, the
children's dates have been spaced SO
that they will occur at regular In
tervals, every two weeks. This Will
prevent tagging Of interest and Will
mean that material used in one con-
cert will still be fresh in the minds
of the children when the succeeding
concert occurs.
The concerts will be given on Sat
urdays at II am. in the Central High
School auditorium on the following
dates: January IL, January 2s. Feb
ruary 9, February %, March 9 and
March %.
Groups Of composers will be pre-
sented according to their national
characteristics. The first concert will
be devoted to German music. with
examples Of Bach. Handel. Haydn
Mozart. Beethoven, Schumann and
Wagner. French music will come
next. with examples by Gretry, Saint

saens, Satie, Debussy and Chabrier.
The third concert will be devoted to
compositions of an Austrian or Hun
garian influence, such as that OF
Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms,
Johann Strauss and Liszt.
Italian music will be discussed at
the fourth concert, using music by
Corelli, Vivaldi, Bellini, Rossini and
Verdi. English and Scandinavian
music will make up the fifth concert.
Compositions by Purcell, Svendsen,
Grieg, Sibelius, Jarnefelt, Elgar and
Granger are planned. American
music will comprise the final concert.
Among the compositions to be played
are several by Edward MacDoweu and
John Powell. Kinder will talk In
formally at all of these events.
In order that the greatest possible
number OF children may attend, the
admission cost has been kept to a
minimum. 1t is possible to attend the
entire series of six at cost OF only
Is cents a concert. Reservations can
be made now, as well as for all OF
the orchestra's other events. at its
Offices in the Woodward Building.
Yesterday Kinder sailed on the
s. S. Champlain for Havre, France,
from New York. After a short stay
in Paris to purchase some new music
for his own orchestra, he will go to
Amsterdam, Holland, where he will
conduct several concerts Of the Con-
certgebouw Orchestra, Mengelberg' 5
famous symphonic organization. Kin
dler will also conduct in The Hague
and give a series of cello concerts in
England before he returns in the
early part OF July.
