DETROIT. - The publication of
Stalin's Foundations of Leninis1n7
in an edition of 100000 copies, to
sell for 10 cents each, is a joyous
event in the life of the revolution
airy movement. This basic textbook
of the theory and practice of Len

part of the arsenal of the workers
of the world, taking its place be-
sides such classics as the Com

and Capital Socialism Scientific
and Utopian," what Is to be
Done?", Imperialism" and state

With the air filled with all sorts
of pseudo-revolutionary, semi-fas-
cist and mystical trial balloons that
confuse the masses and lead them
astray, now as never before is it
necessary to make known to the
broadcast sections of the toiling pop
ulation those basic scientific Marx

Expose of Militarist
and Fascist Movement
in Japan in New Book

Authoritative answers to questions
provoked by Japan's expansionist
policy, its role in the war danger
and especially in the drive against
the Soviet Union are provided by
o. Tanin and E. Yohan in Mill
tarism and Fascism in Japan" just
off the press of International Pub
fishers.
Written by noted Soviet students
Of Far Eastern affairs, the book
is the first comprehensive study,
from the Marxist viewpoint, of the
forces which give rise to Fascism in
Japan. The authors explain the
formative period of Japanese fl
nance capital, the beginnings of the
colonial conquest policy, the effect
of the world war on class antag-
onisms in the post war crisis.
The personnel of every jingoistic
group is analysed and its class base
exposed. While they trace in detail
commercial jealousies between diff
ferent sections of the Japanese rul-
ing class, the authors prove that
the ruling class is prepared to sink
its internal differences to push pro-
vocative measures against the Soviet
Union.

Chicago Communist Party Candidates
Show Way to Wipe Out Misery Towns
Forgotten Men Have
Been Forgotten
Once More

CHICAGO is boasting Of a new
v town-this time it is the New
Deal or Misery town. This town
is composed of men whom the New
Deal has benefited" most-men
without jobs, without homes and
without a future under capitalism.
These men have built miserable
shackS near the river, oYershad-
owed by the skyScrapers of the.
Windy City.
These men are the forgotten"
men about whom Mr.. Roosevelt
once shed crocodile tears-but that
was before election. Now his eyes
have run dry and he also has for
gotten these men-even in words.
This is only an example of how
much Mr. Roosevelt's promises
mean. But not only Mr.. Roosevelt.
In 1882. when Hoover was in Office,
many such towns, known as Hoover
villes, sprang up. AS far as the
workers are concerned, it makes no
difference whether a Republican or
Democrat is in office; these people
carry out the policies of their
bosses, the Wall Street bankers.
But let us see how Communists
act when in office. In the Red VIII
lage of Taylor Springs in southern
Illinois, five Communists have been
elected to the Village Board. These
five Communists were elected on
the platform of the following de-
mands: Unemployment Insurance,
public works program, higher
wages, shorter working hours, for
the right of the workers to organ
lie, strike, etc. But, unlike Hoover
and Roosevelt, these Communists
have not forgotten their program
after elections.
They Immediately proceeded to
lead demonstrations of the unem-
ployed, struggles for better condi-
tons for the workers. The result
was that these Communist village
board members, together with other
workers, have been arrested and
charged with Criminal Syndicalisn,
and are faced with a 20-year SEN
tence in Jail. They were released
on bail and Immediately continued
their work-leading demonstrations
for unemployment relief and insur-
ance, and for better conditions for
the workers.
NOW, before the elections, the Re-
~ publicans and Democrats in
Chicago are again coming out with
promises. But there is one Party
in Chicago which has put up can

Symposium and Concert at
John Reed Club

A LARGE and enthusiastic audi
"A ence greeted an unusual SYM
postum and concert at the John
Reed Club on Sunday night. The
Daily Worker Chorus, led by Gio-
yanni Camajani, presented a choral
arrangement Of "Sez Aim Boun,"
a Negro work song, one Of many
collected by Laurence GeIlert. It
would be very gratifying to see and
hear more of these still unpublished
songs, which number in the hun
dreds.
THE Modern a trio well known
for their concert and radio work,
consisting of Mercedes Bennett,
piano, Dorothy Minty, violin, and
Olga zundel, cello, played trio by
Turina and a suite by Dalfont.
This finely balanced ensemble
should be playing much better
music than that which they played.
Participating in the symposium
Modern Music and Revolution"
were Charles Seeger, eminent mu-
sicologiSt, critic and composer;
Henry Cowell, editor Of New Music,
member of the League Of Com
posers, and Ellie Seigmeister, COM
poser, lecturer and American CORE
spondent of Sovietskaia Musicka.
Seeger dealt with the growing
effort of the working class to create
its own music, after having pro-
duced music for the exploiting
class for several hundred years. He
particularly stressed the impor-
lance of the successful mass song
in the present revolutionary period.
Cowell discussed theories Of So
cialist realism advanced by some
critics of m~sic both here and in
the Soviet Union. He disagreed
with their present view that it is
necessary to write with the SIM
plicity of the folk style in order to
create music that workers can
understand. He commended, on the
contrary, that technical innovations
must be steadily and slowly intro
duced into workers music and that
the workers appreciate it. His
playing of two of his own piano
works met with an ovation. These
compositions disclosed the hidden
sonorities and amazing dynamic
possibilities of the instrument, jus
tifying. at least in this instance,
his contention.
Siegmeister told of the cropping of
the Soviet composers, of their at
tempt to find new base for their
composing which will adequately
express and reflect their triumph in
the building of socialism. He con-
trasted the ease with which Soviet
composers secure publication and
performance of their works, with
the almost inSurmountable difficult
ties of composers here. He ex-
pressed the opinion that Shosta-
kovitch was the most important
Soviet composer of the day, in that
he was willing to take the complex
technique wrought by bourgeois
musicians, just as the engineers
had taken complicated machines,
and put it to use in the workers
fatherland. His performance of the
first movement of ShoStakovitchs
piano sonata was enthusiastically
receiyed.-A. B.
