Growth Problems
Discussed in n. J.
Cultural Groups
BY ALAN CALMER

THE New Jersey Cultural Fedora
ton met in Newark last Sunday
to discuss ever-recurrng problems
of intellectual and organizational
growth. These Jack London Clubs
are composed of young workers and
students from many sections of the
state-and from many sections Of
the population. Many of their
members have been attracted to the
revolutionary movement through
these clubs, and some of them have
moved on to active participation in
the work of the Young Communist
League. During the few short years
of the existence Of these groups
some of the members have out
grown beliefs which they once con-
sidered to be sacred truths.
AS reported by the delegates, all
of the clubs have experienced vital
little struggles of their own. In
large part these minor battles are
signs of q healthy growth--a devel-
opment which, in large part, has
proceeded in the right direction
with little more than local guild
ance.
One delegate told the story of a
club whose membership at first OPP
posed vigorously any parliament
tary procedure as bourgeois! An
other told of dramatic group that
consisted of two members-one
wrote the plays and the other per-
formed them!
Another recounted an equally
amusing but significant story. His
club decided that genuine" prole-
tartan elements were lacking; and
the members made UP their minds
to canvas the neighborhood. They
brought back crew of hard boiled
youngsters with distinct lumpen-
proletarian traits. The new recruits
turned the cultural" club into
roughhouse, and people were
frightened away. Through sane and
courageous if young and immature
leadership, the better ones among
the new members were organized
into a scrappers' club, and there is
hope for their political education.
A well-dreSsed girl, whose ances-
tors probably blazed trails through
some section of this country, told
quite simply and unaffectedly of the
comradely spirit being created be-
tween Negro and white members Of
her group.
Another spoke with deep sincerity
of a club in the upper neck" of
Newark. He spoke of the fine spirit
of comradeship that prevailed in
this club of workers, and of the
earnest desire of these youthful
proletarian individuals to absorb
and create working class culture.

Jersey Federation, the Jack Lon

ist, usually In terms Of life in the
stark 1905 to the profound analysis
that Marx made the better part Of
a century before.
Gellert begins with Primary Ac-
emulation and what startling
freshness this tale of the genesis
of capitalism has in these days
when the use Of the pyre, chamber
of inquisition and the axe of the
executioner are frantic efforts of a
bankrupt society to turn the wheels
of history backwards u
The selection passes rapidly from

Gellert adorns with-among other
things-a picture of Tom Mooney

Gellert's Autograph crayon reveals

Marks day, but of Henry Ford,
the Rockefellers, the Morgans,

and strike scene.
Then a plunge into "Commodi-
ties"-the impossible to under
stand" analysis which, in fact, is
so simply and easily put that any
one capable of driving a nail into
board-in fact anyone above the
intelligence level of a bourgeois
professor-ca grasp it essentially
and quickly from just the few pages
reproduced.
Gellert's kind Of drawing is ad-
mirably adapted to this. "As
values, commodities are nothing
but CONCEALED labor time" etc. The
absurdly simple pictures of COM
modities that show through their
texture the hard-clenched fists Of
CONCEALED labor time" will remain
in the mind of many a worker
student.
Marks quotation from William

mother"-is faced with a drawing

his present very real efforts to
establish strike proof labor unions
in the pattern of Mussolini." or
that an established Fascism is an
inevitable stage of the struggle.
IN HIS use Of an aesthetic means
l to bring the great work of Marx
to the masses, Gellert has done
something not done before. It is a
step that must and will be followed
in the inevitable logic of these revo-
lutionary days. Gellert knows this
and with spirit in keeping with
his art and with his collective philos-
ophy he opens an invitation to all
the artists Of the world to feast
their talents on
the works Of our great
working Glass leaders-Marx, En-
gels, Lenin and stslin-a wealth
of material for their best creative
efforts"
This challenge ought to make any
artists fingers itch for crayon
and for the Communist Manifesto, "
and Engels' Origin of the Family
Private Property and the State,
and for Lenin's THE State and
Revolution" and for Stains works
on Leninism and on the National
Question.
It is interesting to note the re-
actions of critics-and Of his fellow
artistic this trail-blazing work
Of Gellert's.
AS far as I've seen, the capital
list press critics, while playing down
as much as possible so remarkable
work-haye shown reluctant ad-
miration.
In regard to the reaction Of revo-
lutionary artists and critics, it
seems to me there is a word to say.
Such journal as the New Masses"
is Of course of decisive important
among the revolutionary artists. In
its issue Of February az, a critic
surprises me with his cautious terms
in comment upon this incautious
work of Gellert's. While showing a
certain sensitiveness to the impact
of the work, the critic does not give
the impression of being quite open,
I can't help wondering whether, if
Gellert had followed Dore into a
new pictorial "Dante's Inferno, "
our bold critics might have excused
him for such obviously reactionary
obscurantisrn in such day as this
But in the case Of this precedent
making revolutionary work, the
revolutionary critics run not the
slightest suspicion Of being broad
minded"
III speak frankly. 1t seems to
me there is a certain residue of
bohemian cynicism among our revo-
lutionary artists in meeting Gel
lert's challenge and invitation. In
this wet and soggy spring, are the
revolutionary artists, some of them
stewing too much in the snow Juice
of Greenwich Village to give a hand
to big work like this?
Or to take up the challenge to
revolutionary competition?

AT 18TH YEAR
Elections Take Place as
Workers and Farmers
Celebrate Victories
By Vern Smith


BY Wireless to the Daily Worker
MOSCOW, Nov. Son November
Z the workers of the world will
celebrate the seventeenth anniver-
sary of the October proletarian rev.
olution and the founding of the
workers fatherland, the Union OF
Socialist Soviet Republics.
The anniversary or the first So
Wet Republic is celebrated as the
most important historical event and
the greatest achievement in the
history of the working class towards
the establishment of worldwide
Socialism.
The record of tremendous growth
and progress achieved under the
most difficult conditions by the
workers and farmers of the Soviet
Union, is known to all the world
and is recognized by friends and
enemies alike. At time when in
all other countries, under capitalism,
millions of workers and peasants
are doomed to hunger and poverty,
to unemployment, to the ruin of
crops, the laboring workers and
peasants of the Soviet Union have
been freed from unemployment and
poverty, the evils of exploitation
and profit. Through collectivisa-
ton they are solving the problems
of production for the needs of all
workers. and are on the road to an
era of plenty.
Communists Express Will of Masses
The Moscow Prayda, central or
gan of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union in ain article on the
approaching celebration Of the seven

revolution, reviewing the daily work
CT Socialist construction in the So
Wet Union, writes:
THE slogans of the Seventeenth
Anniversary of the October Revolu-
ton express the frame CT mind and
the expectations of the workers,
peasants and all toilers of the So
Wet Union under the leadership of
the Communist Party. These slo-
gans express the broad interests
embracing the masses of ITO million
workers living within the Soviet
Union. From the leading slogan,
Long live Socialist Revolution
throughout the world to the slogan,
No single collective farm without
cattle breeding farm is expressed
one continuous idea of struggle
for Socialism, for the freedom Of
laboring humanity from the yoke of
capitalism. The fraternal greetings
to the proletariat of Spain, leading
heroic fight against fascism and
against capitalism, contained in
these slogans, are in harmony with
greetings to the men and women
farmers on the collective farms
who struggled to accomplish their
task in the setting up of the work
