propagandists started entering this
country. Some of them were native
Americans. The first mass out
break of anti-Semitic propaganda
engineered by Hitler agents came in
the spring of 1888 period in
which, strangely enough, we find
Congressman McFadden rising in
the halls Of Congress to attack the
Jews while ostensibly discussing a
gold clause repeal resolution.
First, I offer evidence that Con-
gresham Louis T. McFadden is
working very closely with william
Dudley Pelley of the Silver Shirts
and seems to be taking orders from
him. On Aug %, 1888, Pelley tele-
graphed McFadden to the latter's
home in Canton, Pa. The telegram
happened to deal with an MIRA.
question but the significance lies in
the fact that Pelley of Asheville,
N. c. did not ask one of his own
Congressman but went to one from
Pennsylvania; the tone, too, of the
telegram is interesting. There is no
mark of courtesy apparent. 1t is
the tone of a commander to a sub
ordinate. Answer at once" Policy

rather than virtuous because of
conformity or fear" the stiff
backed, sanctimonious old maid !;
the puppet atheist who has walked
stiffly through so many bad relig-
ious dramatic tracts, and the pup
pet religionists who seem to have
just stepped out of the kind of
anti-religious broadside wherein
the author dares god to strike him
dead for his disappearing; and the
Dreamer.
All! The Dreamer. How MANY
emhcyo- playwrights have tried to
write of the bright, reckless Poet
Dreamer, and the tragic, uncon-
ventional prostitute. AS for the
new dramatic form, it seems to
have been borrowed from musical
comedy, including tall and sinuous
show-girl, ballet, and gaily at
tired chorus.
The first three scenes Of the play
are static and repetitious; the
fourth nearly acquires a sort of
brooding beauty through its light
ing and its chants-only to have
it shattered by the sophomore in
PERFECTION of III e red-scarfed
Dreamer.
The drama has also its small
satiric moments. These would have
been more effective, however, if
the author had not set up dummy
adversaries, with their stufing al
ready sadly sticking out from much
pummeling, to knock them down
again with brave show of reck-
lessness.
WITH one exoeption-that of the
w actor who plays the part of
the older chair attendant to whom
we take off our hat for a sustained
bit of acting, even during his
silences-the acting is uniformly
bad. The actors are stiff, mouthe
their lines or mug their emotions;
they stand and deliver their awk-
ward, alliterated lines, weighed
down with redundancy and limping
poetry.
Miss Gish is vision of loneliness
and an excellent elocutionist; but
she speaks her lines by rote like
school girl. Once she slipped on a
word, said rife for life, caught her
self guiltily then went on with her
recitation. Even in reading the
play, I found more hectic flush Of
life IN the part of the Young
Who're than Miss Gish put into it.
Mr.. O'Casey has to his credit two
such forceful, virile, realistic crea-
tions as The Silver Tassie" and
Juno and the Paycock" We are
willing to forget his temporary
alteration, if he will present us
soon again with play that smells
once more of earth, sweat, blood
and grime-thst is filled again with
terror and pity.

Plotting the American PogromS
Hon. L. T. McFadden
Takes Orders From
Silver Shirt PelIey

This Is the fifth Of the series
plotting the American PogrOms,"
by John L. Spivak, appearing
weekly in the New Masses. In
his former articles Spivak exposes
the close connection between the
Order Of rs and German secret
agents, whose purpose is to TO-
ment anti-semitic sentiments in
this country, under the guise Of
fighting Communism. He also
proves the cSrnection between
the Order Of 20 and the Silver
Shirts, through their discredited
leader, William Dudley Pelley. In
the present article, Spivak turns
his guns on Congressman Louis
T. McFadden - "just a plain
crook"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-10-27

MR.. O'CASEY, apparently distrust-
in ing the discernment OF his audi
ence and of his critics-warned per-
haps by the lack of understanding
with which his play was received
in London-has helpfully provided
us in the New York Times of Sun
day, Oct. 81, with a manifesto OF
his dramatic creed, and in the pro-
gram, with a guide through the
cryptograms of his play.
With Within the Gates" it was
apparently the high purpose of the
dramatist to bring back to the stage
the majesty that was Greece and
the magnificence that was the Eng
land of Shakespeare; to restore to
the drama the music, the song and
the dance of the Elizabethan play
and the austere ritual of the Greek
drama.
Nor is that sufficient to the am
bition of Mr.. O'Casey: within the
Gates" is to be also the opening
gun in battle against realism, for
new stage from which will blend
the qualities of the classical, the
romantic and the expressionistic
drama.
Perhaps it is not fair to hold a
playwright to the letter of his ar
tistic creed; nor on the other hand
is it advisable for him to confess his
brainchild cripple by sending it
out propped on both sides on
crutches of theory With or without
guide and manifesto, however,
Within the Gates" remains one of
the dullest, emptiest, crudest, most
pretentious evenings I have spent
in the theatre-not excluding Mr..
Paul Green's defunct Roll Sweet
Chariot" with which this play has
much in common.
MIR. O'CASEY is bent on fitting
M a lance again for Mature"
Life" and Beauty" against sane
timoniousness and Puritanism.
This explains perhaps why that
doughty anti-Puritan, Mr.. George
Jean Nathan took the play to his
critical bosom. Here at last, after
so many years, was an important
dramatist fighting the good old
battle again, for sin and Satan.
Mr.. O'Casey has trotted out again
the stock characters and situations
of that mawkishly purple drama of
the Naughty Nineties, which dis
covered that sin lay not in human
nature but in the repression Of
natural impulses. There is the
Bishop, who trespasses in his
youth; the romantic Young Who're,
who is determined to be wicked

On the following day Congress

We thus see that Congressman
McFadden is close to the Silver
Shirts, obeying their orders to
answer at once" and asking Pelley
for instructions as to what to do.
The Silver Shirts, the reader should
bear in mind, have since merged
with the Order of '76, the secret
espionage society having Hitler
agents as members and working
closely with secret German prop
agandists in this country. Let us
now see if Congressman McFadden
has any direct connection with this
espionage order.
On July 7, 1893, this Congressman
who swore to uphold the Constitu-
ton of the United States, recorded
q secret conference in New York
which Royal Scott Gulden, head
of the espionage Order of rs, ar
ranged. quote the letter in full:
My dear Mr.. Gulden:
1 cannot begin to thank you for
the opportunity which you gave
me to meet with the group in
New York which you called to-
gether, I shall hope that some
good may have come from this
meeting to your group. It was an
inspiration to me, 1 can assure
you, and / want you to know that
1 am deeply appreciative.
/ am just in Washington for
the day and expect to be at my
home in Canton for the balance
of the month where l am trying
to get some very much needed
rest. l shall be glad to hear from
you any time.
Faithfully yours.
(Signed) L. T. McFadden.
What this secret meeting which
Gulden arranged was about. do
not know. I do know that it was
held at the Union League Club
where on former occasions Gulden
had met secret Nazi agents.

SCIENCE AND THE
PROFIT SYSTEM

Big business has been exerting
pressure on scientists to line I'D be-
hind the profit system. II reminds
them that the capitalists control the
purse strings. The scientists are
aware of the severe reduction in
research budgets. They are afraid
that if they do not defend special
privilege, they will see their work
completely sabotaged as the bankers
and industrialis.s Withdraw their
financial backing.
Consequently, many scientists Of
the lickspittle variety, have recently
gone on record that science should
be grateful to big business, and sup
port its anti-social policies-because
without profits there could be no
science. Their arguments point to
the fact that the decline Of capital
ism has brought about a curtailment
Of scientific activity They admit
that science cannot in the future
expect as much support as it FORM
erly received. Then instead Of de-
nouncing a system that will no
longer substitute research, since it is
no longer profitable, they bootlick
big business, and beg for any lesv-
ings that it will throw their way.
Their indecens exhibition Of
cowardliness and lack of self respect
is not made any more bearable by
the nonsense that they pass of as
rational argument. Professor Ar
thur Compton, to take one particu-
larly nauseating example of boot
licking, actually claims that with
out the profit system, science would
be destroyed. He attempts to. prove
this by insisting that IF the large
financial rewards Of business enter
prise are made impossible it
will follow as the night the day that
scientific advances will be greatly
curtailed through lack Of financial
support"
The point is plain. Support spe-
cial privilege or you are through as
a research worker But his point
is false. Science does not need the
fleshpots Of capitalism to progress. In
fact, it is the profit system that is
the big barrier to scientific advance,
that has made the scientist the cap
tive Of its greed and inhumanity.
The example of the Soviet Union
proves that once science is liber-
ated from the curse of capitalism it
develops with a speed that has never
been equalled before. For the first
time it is given boundless possible
ties for advancing Problems are
posed and solved that are incon-
ceivable under capitalism. There is
no need for bootlicking. Scientific
activity is looked upon as work that
is important to the welfare of all
of humanity, and not as ballyhoo
that will increase the profits Of
General Motors or du Points.
The defense of the profit system
by the Milliksns and the Comptons
has sinister air about it. Their
apology for capitalism smacks Of
fascist theology. The fascists also
consider science the handmade Of
profit and war. They too consider q
gunman superior to the relatively
Jew instein
In this unprincipled defense Of
capitalism lies the tacit approval of
the fascist road to barbarism. These
false defenders Of science urge a
course tina. would not only degrade
the scientist, but end in the de-
strlIctinn of scienca itself

Russians Called Serfs.

Peasants on collective farms Of So
Wet Russia are little more than serfs
and many are in worse condition than
under the Gar. This Is revealed in q
book just issued by the School of Sla-
vonic and East European Studies in
London University, London. Contrib
utors claim to have seen conditions
first hand. Peasants on these farms
are so heavily taxed, so badly housed,
and so starved Of meat and bread that
their standard Of living has been de-
pressed to the lowest conceivable
level, according to the writer's. The
amount Of grain available for each
person Is declared to be less than
it was before the World War.
Even the Soviet newspapers severely
criticize the housing conditions on
many of the State farms where the
workers live either in overcrowded
barracks infested with insects or are
