BOXER TURNS
TO SCULPTURINC

Philadelphia (UP)-A boxer
who became an artist is attracting
attention here.
Joseph Brown, a Temple Univer-
sity graduate, became a profession
al boxer after a scholastic football
career. For more than a year he
was undefeated. Then, in the midst
of furious bout, he broke his
wrist. 1t never healed enough to
permit him to continue his pugilis-
tic career.
He turned to sculpture, which
had been a hobby for years. DIR
r. TAFT Mckenzie, sculptor, be-
came interested in Brown after
seeing someS of his work in the
home of a friend.
Brown now does much of his
work in McKenzie's studio. Several
of his pieces have been accepted
by the Academy of Fine Arts, and
he has built up following among
society persons here. Brown de-
votes his evenings to teaching a
class in sculpture at Furness Jun
Tor High school.

to our own Johnny Moore. In Is

failed to connect, but our Mr.
Moore has not done too we'll as

ably explains why things are re-

time to hustle, plans to hop into

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-02-24
By 81 GERsON

THERE are naive people, even
! in this day and age, who
wonder wistfully "why the
Communists are always at
lacking the Socialist leaders,"
particularly on the question Of war
and the attitude Of the Socialist
leaders towards war.
This Is q legitimate question. At
this moment, when the flower Of the
Austrian working class has been muir
dered by a combination of Dollfuss
artillery and the insidieus poison of
the tFeacherous policies of the official
leaders OF Austro- Marxisn. Now when
the world literally teeters on the pre-
cipice OF new world slaughter, this
question Is peculiarly timely for
American workers.
An examination OF the war record
Of the Socialist Party leadership is
particularly instructive. Now, in the
very midst Of the lingo Preparedness
Week, with the newspapers, movies
and radio full of war talk, it is highly
important that every worker-and
especially the Socialist workers-shall
review the whole question and see
who the true anti-war fighters are,
and what waS--and is-the position
Of the leaders Of the Socialist Party
on war.
We do not have to discuss abstract
1y. The record Of the Socialist leaders
during the World War is here for all
to see.
ANTI War Sentiment
It is a matter of common knowledge
that great ant-war sentiment ex-
listed in the United States in 1915 and
1916, Uppennost in peoples minds
was the war question. It became the
central theme Of the 1916 presidential
elections. Woodrow Wilson was de-
handing reelection, stuHaping the
country with the slogan, sHe kept us
out of war" Charles Evans Hughes
his Republican opponent, was obyi-
ously pro-war,
Within the rank and hle OF the So
cialist Party the current ran strongly
anti-Var.
Flaylng on GIle al1U1-War SSnClnenIS
among the masses, the Wilson CAM
paign made heavy inroads among the
workers.
One might imagine that under such
circumstances the Socialist leaders,
true to their professions Of interna-
tionalism, would Immediately brand
the war as a Well Street war, an Inn
perialist war, unmask the pious hypo-
circles of Wilson. sharpen their agita-
ton and use every possible weapon
to mobilize the toiling masses against
The war.
Words and Deeds
Had not Morris Hillquit, leader of
The Socialist Party, at the Interna-
tional Socialist Congress in 1912 af-
fixed his signature to the Basic ANTI
War Manifesto, the resolution which
explicitly stated that the war-which
The Congress clearly foresaw-"cannot
De justified by even the slightest pre-
ext of being In the interests of the
peopIe?" Did not Hillquit vote for this
manifesto which pledged the Social
list Parties of the world to organize
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-02-24

there IS today an American Com
munist Party, stepped In the revolu-
tionary anti-war teachings Of Lenin
and Stain, q party in its very es-
senee internationalist, party that
Systematically exposes the receptions
of the Socialist leaders.
During the last war, the Socialist
leadership dissipated the enormous
influence 1t had and the possibilities
for anti-war agitation. The Socialist
Party had, at about the time the
United States entered the war, about
100000 members. 1t controlled dozens
of newspapers and periodicals, among
them dailies Of large circulation, like
the New York Call, the Milwaukee
Leader and the Jewish Daily For
ward.
In short, given correct revOlu-
ticnary leadership, the masses in
and around the Socialist Party in
l9Ie-17 represented a force.
Despite this tremendous infiu-
ence, the SIP. leadership, at the head
of which was Morris Hillquit, did not
organize the struggle against the
war. Part of the leadership, people
like John Spargo, William English
Walling ana Charles Edward Russell,
openly supported the war. But Hill
quit, shrewd politician, sensing the
anti-war sentiment among the So
eialist Party masses, consciously went
along with this sentiment-in order
to beray 1t later, as the article
quoted above and his actions album
dainty prove. Hillquit very well
understood that it would be fatal to
his continued existence as a Social
list to adopt the openly pro-war
course Of Spargo, Walling and Rus
sell, He knew that his usefulness to
American imperialism would be small
indeed if he followed the path of
these worthless, He therefore adopted
the policy of being against the war
in words and for it in deeds, a policy
concerning which Lenin wrote to a
comrade in q letter dated October
II, 1914, regarding Hiltquit's German
prototype, Karl Kautsky, and Kaut-
sky's attitude toward the war:
1.-THE German Center, with Kaut-
sky at its head, hidden evil en-
beIlished for diplomatic purpose
and dulling the eyes, the inteIli-
gence, and the consciousness of the
workers, is more dangerous than
anything else"
Must Expose s. r. Leaders
Anti-war fighters must understand
that in order to carry forward q
genuine anti-war struggle against
war, to develop mighty united front
movement against imperialist war
the deeds of the Hillquits and those
who bear his legacy must be merci.
lessly exposed.
Socialist workers especially should
weigh the matter carefully. They
will realize that our persistent strug-
gle against the Socialist leaders is
not one arising out of some venomou:
malice, but struggle resulting from
an historical appraisal OF the treach-
erous role of these people. Those
who really want to fight imperialist
war effectively must fight in the
Communist way and must struggle
ruthleSsly against the leaders of the
Socialist PARTY
