Slashed To Increase
Police Appropriation

SEATTLE, Oct. II. = Close the
libraries and increase the police de-
partment appropriation" is the City
Councils intelligent solution of the
1885 budget dilemma, and represents
decaying capitalism's universal pol
icy Of choking off culture to feed
Fascism.
The newspaper reading room in
the main library and two branches,
Greenwood Phinney and George
town, will be closed permanently
January 1st, and the appropriation
cut $4,000 from its 1929 figure
while the police system is increased
$2e6,756 over last years budget!
Accompanying cuts in the Health
Department will condemn hundreds
Of workers to slow but certain death
by cutting down facilities for tuber-
cular patients at Firlands Santa
rum.
The library retrenchment will cut
off hundreds of workers from read
ing material almost as vital to their
future welfare as the present work
of the Health Department.
Both cuts should be protested
vigorously, the Communist Party or
ganization here has declared in q
statement.

issue. Topical timeliness and gem
uine artistry characterize the fc-
ton and make the current issue one
Of the finest since the inception
Of the magazine.
In DRY Summer" Sanora Babb
demonstrates that fine style and
purposeful writing can 90 hand in
hand. Her smooth flowing descrip-
ton of the effect of the drought on
a mid western farmer, his wife and
their two small daughters is one Of
the finest pieces Of proletarian fic-
ton to appear recently in any
American magazine The anguish
of the two children at having to
stone wild rabbit so that the fam
lily will have food and the plight
of their parents is handled with
great depth and understanding.
OF the other stories in the maya
zine, "a Study in Contrast" by Louis
Mamet and Death at Shaft Three
by Walt Stacy are also outstanding.
Mamet's work is we'll known to the
readers of Anvil and other fiction
publications-on of his short stories
appears in the O'Brien collection Of
The Best Short Stories of 1891
and the story in the current issue
of Anvil is one of his best efforts
He describes the progressive break
down under the brutality of the
police third degree Of a worker who
kidnapped his boss's daughter to
avenge his dismissal. The blows of
the rubber hose, the leering faces
Of the detectives and the tortured
screams Of the prisoner in the dark
ness are wildly and realistically
handled.
Stacy's Death at Shaft Three"
with its tragic story of fifty miners
trapped in a mine, is particularly
timely in view Of the heroic suicide
strike" Of the Hungarian miners
fresh in our minds.
IN addition to the above stories,
own Your Own Home" a sec
ton from "Conveyor," novel by
James Steele dealing with Detroit,
Gas" by John C. Rogers. Flames
Under the Snow" by Alfred Morang,
as well as poems by Norman Mac
leodand Virgil Geddes, make good
reading.
The following editors note APP
pears in the issue:
"AlI original subscriptions to
The Anvil expire with this issue.
Unless everybody renews, we shall
be put to an even more severe
test than in the slack summer
months when we published reg
ularly and incurred a tremendous
deficit. Please help US by renew
ing if your subscription expires,
and try to get somebody else to
subscribe"
Friends of the Anvil, intellectuals
interested in revolutionary htera-
ture, and workers with the money
to spare should rally to Jack Con-
roy's call.

Questions and AnslUerS

of the bourgeoisie of superior" and
inferior" races, master" and
STAKE" races, ETC., to prevent fra
termination and unity of the white
and Negro victims Of capitalism by
setting up artificial barriers between
them, thus blocking effective strug-
gle against the exploiters and OPP
pressors of both the Negro and
white toilers.
Two, to render Negro women help
less and unprotected, thereby main
tanning the right Of the ruling class,
exercised during chattel slavery, to
rape Negro women with iclpunity.
The existence in this country of a
population of over one million
mulattoes testifies to the wide ex-
tent of this practice, carried over
with other forms of feudal oppres-
sion, from chattel slavery.
The comrades attitude on inter-
marriage bellies his declaration that
he is for equal rights, politically
economically and socially for the
Negro people. Social equality in
cludes the right to consider mar
riage as a personal relation and the
private affair Of the individual -
thus the right of Negroes and whites
to intermarry. Mere abstract sup
port of the slogan of equality is
sharply characterised by the Com
munist International as decep-
tive, liberal gesture:
THE slogan of equal rights of the
Negroes without RELENTLESS struggle
in practice against all manifestations
of Negrophobia. on the part of
the American bourgeolsie can be
nothing but a deceptive liberal ges-
ture of a sly slave owner or his
agent. The struggle for equal
rights for the Negroes is, in fact, one
of the most important parts of the
proletarian class struggle Of the
United States"
Would you want your sister to
marry a niger" is one of the stock
challenges of the lynch rulers to
white workers fighting for Negro
rights. How does Communist an
swer this question? Bill Dunno,
speaking in the South several years
ago, was confronted with this
poser" by a chauvinist in the au-
dience. The revolutionary leader
quickly retorted that he would
sooner have his sister marry mill
tant, fighting Negro determined to
secure equality, than any yellow
bellied white chauvinist." And, in
the very stronghold of white chau-
vinism and lynch law, Comrade
Dunno won the majority of the
white workers present to the Com
munist position on the Negro ques-
ton.
All laws which in any way dis
cri1ninate against Negroes, whether
they be anti-marriage laws, or other
practices, must be eliminated by
joint struggle of Negro and white
workers and by wiping out of the
minds of every white worker, espe-
cially, all traces or white chauvin-
ism.

IVY
Question: A group Of comrades
we're discussing white chauvinism.
The question arose whether nat
refusal to intermarry with colored
people constitutes white chauvinism.
The comrade who expressed this
refusal believes that both whites and
the Negroes were evolved from the
same form of lower animal; that
the white man and his colored
brother have the same intellectual
capacities; that, therefore, both
should have equal rights politically,
economically and socially. But as far
as intermarrying is concerned, the
comrade considered it a personal
relationship and his own private
business just as he said he might
refuse to marry some one taller
than six feet two, or a red-headed
individual. The comrade naturally
resents being called a white chau-
whist. Please tell us your opinion
as to whether the comrade Is juSti-
fed in his resentment--A comrade.
Answer: 1t is not clear whether
the comrades position is a flat re-
lection of intermarriage between any
Negro and any white person, or a
personal aversion to himself marry
ing Negro. In either case, we
have here a chauvinist position
masquerading behind lip-service to
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS principle
that .--arriage is a personal rela-
tionship and the private affair Of
the Individual.
The comrade sets up a taboo. He
declares an aversion to marrying
persons taller than six feet two" or
"red- headed individuals" But, pc
culiarly, his aversion includes all
Negroes, although not all Negroes
are six feet two, or red-headed. He
Jumps together in his taboo few
white types" and the entire Negro
race. 1t is thus clear that his aver
sion to Negroes in a marriage rela-
ton is based on something more
than physical measurements and
hair pigmentation-is, in reality, a
chauvinist aversion to Negroes as a
race.
If our guess is correct that the
request for Qualification comes from
the comrade involved, it may be
considered as a sign that he is badly
confused but not necessarily white
chauvinist. Nevertheless, his posi-
ton is chauvinist one, and the
issue raised calls for the sharpest
comment.
The ruling class in some 80 States
of the Union have enacted laws
prohibiting and penalizing marriage
relations between Negroes an d
whites. What is the purpose Of
these laws2 One, to legalize the
fiction of Negro inferiority and, on
the basis of the false race" thories
