Paine Dutt, Editor
OF Labor Monthly,
Writes Book on Lenin

Lenin's politics rather than iso-
lated incidents from his life are
empha sized by R. Paine Dutt, fore
most Marxist Journalist and editor
of the British Labor Monthly, in
his Life and Teachings OF V. L.
Lenin, released by International
Publishers.
Dutt defines his approach as an
attempt ito present the significance
and role of Lenin, not primarily as
a Russian leader, but as a world
leader at critical turning point
of human history; and not pri-
rarily as a unique personality, al
though he was that, but as the lead
er and responsible representative of
g world movement OF direct inf1u-
ence and signiflcance Tor us to-day"

Paul Peters Joins in
Demand for the Release
of Ernst ThaeImann

Paul Peters, co-author of Steve
dore." the Theatre Union play now
at the Civic Repertory Theatre in
New York, adds his voice to those
of the hundreds of intellectuals in
demanding the immediate release
of Ernst Thaelmann.
Peters, who, as a newspaper man
in Germany. personally witnessed
the Hitler Beer Cellar putsch" in
1928, says:
There is no doubt that Hitler
and the German fascists hate and
fear Thaelmann, and will attempt
to destroy him, because he repre-
sents the workers, who, as class,
must sooner or later rise up and
wipe all fascism off the face of the
earth. 1t is especially necessary for
workers and intellectuals in Aneri-
ca to protest against the threat to
Thaelmann's life because the same
sort of barbarisn that Hitler
stands for in Germany, Dolfuss in
Austria, and Mussolini in Italy, is
rapidly being introduced by Roose-
yelt and his banker friends in
America.
"The fact that it comes under the
guise of lighting for democracy,
against beth Communism and fas-
cisna'-as expressed by that arch
type Of fascist, General Johnson
makes it all the more insidious and
calls for more alert and vigorous
protest and struggle on the part
of the working class. Every worker,
every honest intellectual, must take
up the cry: Down with fascismP

tlonal Guard was used in Toledo,
killing at least two workers, injuring
and casing scores of others; the
reason the National Guard was not
called into action in the AIinnea-
polls strike after being modified,
was largely because Gov. Olson and
his Farmer-Labor regime feared to
show their hand before the work
ers Of the state, mad particularly
the strikers. Moreover, Gov. Olson
was bending all his energies to set
ting the Strike by q sell-out aCree-
ment, thus freeing him from the
embarrassment Of calling the Ma
'tional Guard into action against
the strikers.
Undoubtedly, many OF the guards

Why they were not called into

Editor Daily Worker:
Dear Comrade,
In your June 9Th issue of the
Daily Worker there appeared an
article by Sender Garlin on the
strike in Minneapolis.
This article in one paragraph
slandered the veterans to such an
extent that I feel as worker and
member Of the American Legion
retraction should be made.
The article points out that the
Chief Of Police asked the Comman-
der Of the Fifth District of the
American Legion to supply 1900
men as special deputies. This re-
quest was asked after a bunch of
cops, etc. were sent to the hos
pital (where they Belonged. Then
Garlin goes on to say that the
legionnaires couldn't serve as dep
uties because it was against the
constitution of the American
Legion"
In other words, the only reason,
according to Garlin, that the legion
wasn't used was because the mem
bers were frightened at what was
done to the police. One gets the
idea that members of the legion
would have become scabs and strike
breakers only the thought of that
fight kept them away.
This is nothing short of SANDER
The veterans for a NUMBER Of years
now have been showing in plenty
Of strikes, demonstrations etc, that
they are not SO willing to be used
against their fellow workers. The
real reason these vets were not used
is the same why the National Guard
CT MINNEAPOLIS and Toledo were
not used. The bosses were afraid
to call them out knowing that these
workers syn1pathized with those on
strike. Among the truckmen, who
are American workers, there are q
large amount Of vets, many no
doubt, who are members OF the
legion. 1t is safe to say that in
stead of being afraid TO face strik-
ers these vets were on the firing
line with the workers against the

A REPLY

There is no doubt that sympathy
fer the striking truckmen among
many rank and file members of
the Legion was one of the factors
in the decision not to act as dep
uties. This should, perhaps, have
been more strongly no6ed in the
article. However, Comrade Carlson's
letter contains a number Of incor-
rect statements. He says, for ex-
ample, "Garlin goes on to say that
the legionnaires couldn't serve as
deputies because it was against the
constitution Of the American
Legion What the writer said

The Legion in Minneapolis:
A Criticism and q Reply

The same story holds true thruout
the American Legion and other vets
organization. The vets are getting
sick and tired of being used by the
bosses in strikes. I believe that dur
ing strikes, ETC., special attention
should be paid to the vets. A steel
strike is coming on, the bosses are
already modifying the gangsters,
etc. How about organizing vets in
these strike areas to support tile
strike? How about the organization
of the vets who are on strike into
q veterans committee so that they
may be in q position to get vets
over on their side.
