Comrade Brown indicates very
clearly the difference between the
situations in San Francisco on the
one hand and Toledo, Minneapolis
and Milwaukee on the other. In
Frisco the Communist Party had an
active and functioning fraction in
the decisive unions, the waterfront
unions, while in the other cities this
was not true. Brown stresses, par
ticularly, the necessity of working
within every single local of the A.
F. of L. labor unions. 1t is neces-
sary to consciously strive to gain
strategic offices and positions in the
local unions" We must work towards
gaining adnittance to the various
Central Trades and Labor Councils
which are especially important in
view of the growth Of the tendelSies
towards local general strikes, Com
rade Brown points out, statement
which the recent one-day general
strike in Hazelton, Pa, and the
movement towards one in Passaic
County bear out fully.

V. Chemodanov, secretary of the
Young Communist International
discusses the united front and goes
into detail on the communications
of the Young Socialists of Austria
and the Y. c. I. on united action.
Of special interest is the editorial
on the struggle against provocation
in Japan, where the police, through
Gkillful use of stool pigeons, have
created a critical situation in our
brother Party. Here, however, the
years Of experience of the Bolsheviks
in combating the provocations of
Czarism are a veritable arsenal of
strength which is helping the Jap
anese Party overcome the police
spawned factional strife.
We cannot urge too much the
careful reading Of the Communist
International. Be you carpenter,
furrier. miner, steel puddler, or
ganizer or lecturer, the Communist
International is an aid not only to
the daily, Observation-Disclosures battle
but establishes that perspective
without which one cannot be a good
consistent fighter for Communism.

IN a postscript you ask for a descrip-
ton of the conditions of intel
lectuals in the United States. Econo-
mically. conditions are deplorable.
Professionals and scholars are job
less. Their morale is weakening.
The intellectual level is lowering
visibIy.
The writer's with whose conditions
I am most familiar face an impasse.
Many not only expect no earnings
from their works, but cannot even
have them published. Poets of a
status which, I am told, would as
sure them of collected editions of
their works in Russia, fail to have
their books printed unless they can
afford to do it at their own ex-
pense, and then they reach an au-
dience of two hundred readers.
Those writers who appeal to bour-
geois audiences and deal with COM
mercial publishers have an almost
hopeless future if they are honest
men and want to use their talents
without peryersion.
But the writers Who want to reach
the revolutionary workers audience
have healthy future. They cannot
live, of course, on their writing, but
they can get a fine audience for it.
The New Masses, Partisan Review,
Dynamo, Blast, and other magazines,
well printed and alive, exist for
them. There is a nucleus of pro-
letarian culture that grows in ex-
tent and weight, and is in heart
ening contrast to the contracting,
weakening bourgeois culture which
it is displacing Reprinted from

the united front, a continuation of
that in No. Is of the Communist
International, deserves the attention
of every class conscious worker. Dis
cussing the united front movement
in France Piatnitsky shows that the
struggle
&c. proves that the Comnu-
nists were able to bring about the
united front in France only after
they had demonstrated in practice
that they are able to struggle and
are capable Of starting this
struggle in time"
Manifestoes and registration Of
reflections of united front offers are
insufficient. Piatnitsky declare s.
There must be a constant struggle
for the united front, expressed not
only by formal offers for united
action but principally by the organi-
cation of struggle and the participa-
ton in mass struggles. eff the Com
munists had not fought side by side
with the Schutzbund, I think that
they could not have achieved the
success they have done" says Plat
nitsky referring to the gains that
the Austrian Communists are
making.
Nor can united fronts be formed
around the maximum program of
the Party, declares Piatnitsky. In
this respect he discusses some of the
mistakes of the first letter of the
C. P. U. S. A. proposing united &C
ton to the Socialist Party and shows
how by not concentrating the pro-
posal for united action on a few
fundamental issues we make it
easier for the reformists to evade
the issue Of united action.

FOREIGN writer's and artists keep
watchful eye on what is being
done in the United States-particu-
larry by the John Reed Clubs. They
also hope for the establishment of
closer relations to become better
acquainted and benefit by common
experiences.
Leon Moussinac, noted writer,
director, critic and playwright, is an
example.

more about the achievements of
American writer's and artists?"

New Masses is weekly now, and
that half dozen new publications

the last year - Partisan Review

he couldn't name any more.
I mentioned half dozen others
but that didn't help. They are not
known to the revolutionary circles

Since then Griffel has. gone a
long way. After the revolution was
drowned in blood by the Horthy
regime, Griffel made drawings for
the underground groups. He spent
year in prison for that. Then
he went to Vienna, Berlin, and in
1927, to Moscow.
Like MousSinac, Griffel and other
Hungarian artists want to know
what American artists are doing.
And the German artist, Alex Keil
secretary of the Revolutionary Ar
lists of Germany and Helios Co
mez, Spanish artists, voice the same
desire.
In fact, among all revolutionary
cultural workers the same question
is asked almost daily.
1t may be of interest to Amer
lean revolutionary writer's and ar
lists to know that every bit of their
work which appears in the Daily
Worker and the New Masses, or in
any other American revolutionary
publication, is carefully translated
or reproduced and broadcast to
more sections of the world than
they ever would hope to dream of.
This should inspire our writer's
and artists to more and better work.
Their present activities are being
watched very closely. Their work
is reprinted, Marian critics are
analyzing it. In turn, our press
must feature the revolutionary cul-
tural progress being made in other
sections of the world. Much of it
is of tremendous interest and i'm
portance for us.

MAY FIRST!
By JOHANNES BECHER

May First
This is no holiday,
Nc atonement day-no day of prayer
no day to sweat at crowded meeting places,
Listening to the old meaningless Sunday-phrases
That fall on deaf ears any way.
No day for celebration,
Promenading in ones ragged garments
After miserable working-week,
Airing the body still pervaded with the stink of the
working-places.
May Ffrst
Day of struggle,
Military revision day of the world proletariat,
March day of the working masses in all five parts Of
the earth.
May First
Day of struggle;
Let us be ready
Let us be steel-strong
Close ranks!
Our minds be permeated with one thought
Fight!
Our heartbeats re-echo but one word
Fight!
Ever at the threshold of new life like you,
Struggling.
In victory defeat
But step by step onward bent,
Like your suns radiance through the vastness of space
By your light
That floods with fre-geams the depths of the EARTH
That wakes anew the old longings,
Dreams and hopes of humanity
By your fires
May First,
BY your penetrating fires
That shine message of gadness to every creature on
earth
We pledge:
Ceaslessly we will labor
With all the strength of our body
With every thought of our brain,
With our heart-beats will loudly waken you who
are still sumbering in chains
We'll unleash the long-pent storm within us
And sweep this madness from the earth.
Then this day born in strife and exploitation
Will be symbol of jubilation for all the toers of the
earth!
We will not rest till them
Not cease our laborsl
This promise.
