Nine. Perkins Idea of
'Humanizing' De-
pOrtatiOn Laws
BY DAVID LEvINsoN

a" GENERAL, a delegation from the
U Committee for the Protection of
the Foreign Born to see you, sir"
We were ushered into an immense
room in the magnificent new SIS
100000 Department Of Labor build
ing at Washington.
"Oh yes, I know your secretary,
Mr.. Morgan" said Colonel Mac
Cormack, the Commissioner General
Of immigration, as he advanced to-
ward us with outstretched hand
and the broadcast of smiles. He
threw several packages of cigarettes
to us across the table with a cheer
full, help yourselves, my friends.
Now, what can I do for you2"
Mr.. Commissioner" said Morgan,
"our delegation represents $1,000
workers; citizens as well as aliens"
why citizens?" asked the Cen
eral.
Because we realize that once the
economic and political rights of the
foreign born are taken away, the
rights of workers who are citizens
will soon follow as happened in
Hitler Germany and fascist Italy"
The Colonel pulled vigorously on
his cigarette.
"You know" he said, turning to
me, 1--WE have been doing all We
could to help the aliens"
by deporting them?" I asked.
The Colonel stopped smoking.
There was a moment of silence as
he sat straight up in his chair.
Madame Perkins told me-" con-
tinued, "the day she was appointed,
that she intended to 'humanize and
liberalize' the deportation laws"
The Colonel relaxed. quite So"
he quickly agreed.
Arresting Aliens without a Warrant
But tell me, Mr.. Commissioner, j."
I said, ais it true that your Depart
ment is asking Congress to pass q
law which you have drafted, giving
any employee of your Department
the right to arrest aliens without a
warrant"
The Commissioner pulled furi-
ously on his cigarette.

"And do you regard this as

IN almost every country Of the
world today-including fascist
Germany and the China ruled by
the white terror of Chang Kai-shek
on the bare platforms of workers
meeting halls, as we'll as on elabo-
rately equipped professional stages,
there are revolutionary working
class theatres participating in the
fifth annual International Theatre
Week of the International Union of
the Revolutionary Theatre OUR.
IT,. Active all year round in drama
tizing the lives and struggles of the
masses for their daily needs and
against imperialist war and fascism,
the revolutionary theatre from Feb
ruary 18th to 18th demonstrates its
international solidarity, reviews its
worldwide work, and seeks to ac-
quaint the broadest possible public
with the role of the theatre in the
education and organization Of the
masses.
Five years ago, when the IUR.T.
was first formed as the Interna-
tional Workers Dramatic Union, no
capitalist country except Germany
and Japan had an organized work
ers' theatre movement. Single groups
existed in many places, but carried
on their work in isolation from each
other. AS the bourgeois theatre
shrank and withered under the
blight of the capitalist crisis. as at
the same time the Soviet theatre
fiourished and bloomed, as some Of
the best theatre workers and artists
became dissatisfied with the stagna-
ton Of their art, revolutionary
workers and intellectuals came to-
gether and formed the worlds first
international organization of the
theatre, with its center in Moscow,
the theatrical capital of the world.
The International Union at once
began to contact all revolutionary
dramatic groups, organized the ex-
change of their experiences. pub
lished helpful material, and gave
great impetus to the movements for
the formation of country wide thea
tire organizations as national sec
lions of the IU.RT. in many lands.
THE cultural crisis of capitalism
and the rise of the revolutionary
labor movement had already pro-
vided the basis for such national
organizations. Germany pioneered,

Michael Colds Statement
In Bnrck'S Cartoon Book

UNEMPLOYMENT, a major catastrophe, worse
than any earthquake, fire or flood, grips Amer
lea today.
Some sixteen million men and women and their
families are without work or food or hope.
Capitalism has created this enormous famine
but like hardened murderer, it hides its guilt
by bluff, bribery and intimidation
The starving masses are bewildered by the at
tacks made on them from every side
An army of capitalist labor leaders, ministers.
politicians, gunner and ntellectuals are engaged
in vast campaign whose object is to keep the
unemployed in state Of confusion fear and apathy.
Capitalism fears its victims. Those it cannot
conquer with demagogic lies it tries to make sub
missive with the blackjack and machine gun.
Each unemployed man thinks himself weak and
powerless. And yet, organized as a mass the un-
employed can make demands that no capitalist
dares ignore.
It is the Communist Party that first began to
organize the unemployed in America Without
this party, and the agitation it began as far back
as 1890, not cent Of relief would have been spent
the unemployed
The capitalist class tried to keep the problem
hidden away in the dark slums of the land Let
the workers starve quietly and periodically, was
the capitalist slogan. But nobody can buy or in
tinidate the Communists. And they brought the
unemployed out into the streets and led them in
munger marcheS 10 all the capitals 1t was they
who forced the capitalists to recognize the unem-
ployed.
Capitalists never willingly surrender a penny Of
their dishonest wealth. They have no human feel
ings. except greed and fear. The Communists have
at least taught them to fear the UNEMPLOYED
Capitalism is failure, is proved by its great
wars, and the present unemployment crisis
The time is coming soon when Communists viii
be able to lead the hungry workers to something
bigger than unemployment relef-to the organi-
cation of world without these useless and danger
Gus prohteers, world where there is leisure and
wealth and dignity for every human being. It can
be won-just as the unemployed can win their
immediate demands if they organize and fight.

The underground" German anti
fascist theatre is writing glorious
and heroic chapter in the history
Of modern culture. It's story is told
in the March issue of New Theatre.
It's experience in the fight against
fascis1n is becoming the property of
the workers Of all lands.
One of the major activities of the
international revolutionary theatre
is that Of building a united 'front.'
Of workers theatres of different po-
litical standings. bourgeois little
theatres" and professional theatre
workers and artists-against war
and fascism as the twin destroyers
Of culture. The New Theatre League,
like the revolutionary theatre
abroad, has done successful united
front work in a number of local in
stances, and is now preparing this
work on national scale. Y.M.C.A.
and Y.MHA. dramatic groups,
church groups, A. F. of L. and revo-
lutionary trade union groups, So
cialist-led groups as well as Com
munist-led groups, have worked side
by side, aided each other, and been
aided with technical equipment and
repertory. New Theatre magazine
now each month carries the message
Of united theatrical front against
war and fascism to 10000 readers
of otherwise diverse political opin-
ions.
The theatre of the American
masses differs from that of most
other capitalist countries in that it
Is itself really an International thea
ire in fniniature-like the Soviet
theatre, Of which this Is true, of
course, on vast scale. Besides the
theatres performing in English, and
existing in most cases long before
them, there are literally hundreds
of workers dramatic groups or
clubs with dramatic activities Or
SoAiAOu Wy VIC HdilOuo 4ldoAOLidAAOlSo.
Chief among these are the groups
Of the Firms, Hungarians, Jews and
Ukrainians; but almost every other
nationality, however slightly repre-
sented in the American population,
has its workers dramatic groups.
Some of the best foreign-language
groups have appeared on the same
program with English-language
groups in several cities during In
ternational Theatre Week. There
is steadily increasing cooperation
between the nationality theatres
and the English-speaking ones, in
the true spirit Of international work
ing class solidarity.

Training Leaders

Question: How do Communists educate and train
workers to become leaders? Can youe give the an
swer in the form Of quotation from some pam-
phlet on organizationsl questions7 .J.B.
Answer A simple and very valuable pamphlet
the kind Of question asked above is Orgwalds
Tactical and Organizatonal Questions Of the Com
munist Parties Of India and Indo-China" Below
is printed the given by Orgwad to the ques-
ton asked by J. B. as an example Of the inforna-
tive material contained in the fifteen cent pamphlet
all given in the form of questions and answers:
There is no factory for turning workers into
leaders, but if the workers work well some Of them
will develop into practical organizers, propagandsts
and writers. The Party organization must place
these working class members of the Party in such
conditions of work that will not lead to their prea-
ture arrest.
But I do not suggest that one should evade
arrest if such evasion is harmful to the necessary
work For instance suppose it is necessary for some
of them to speak at big meeting where there is
possibility Of having the Party line carried and
winning over the workers. In such case one should
take the risk and be prepared to go to prison for
while and upon leaving prison to start work again.
ut is necessary to send these workingmen to
apply themselves to all the branches of Party and
trade union work. It is necessary to learn how to
put questions properly to choose rapidly and COR
rectly the right moment to correct the line in good
LIle 10 Wrlte gOOu aTtcle, gOod not IN Cne sense
Of style-although good style wouldn't be a bad
thing eitherbut in the sense that the questions in
the article put in proper way so that they are
quite plain to the workers.
They should work all the time among the
masses. They should be made to understand that
they must have an ear for what the masses say.
but they should not always do what the masses pro-
pose. On the contrary, they should tell the masses
what the masses have to do Then real leaders will

workers the Party and trade union organization will
not be isolated from the broad masses, and there
will be no separation Of the leaders from the mass

A Secret Printing Press

I AFTER, in smoensk, there was a stocking shop
and her sister and her brother-in-law kept the
little store In front the machine ran and the sister
sat and spoke to the customers and to the gen.
darmes who came nosing around For in the back
of the store hidden, was secret printing press.
At one time, she had to carry box Of type Chey
had no mimeograph machines then the presses
were hand presses wrapped up in small package
and disguised not to attract attention in the
streets. She was seventeen and the type heavy,
and she had to walk along the street swinging it
as though it was as light as a package of ribbons.
When she came to America, she saw old revou-
tionaries who had been jailed and imprisoned by
the Gar turn bourgeois in the land of promise
and installments, become petty little shopkeepers,
become grubby little owners of real estate She
saw the friends of her youth drop out of the move
ment heard them laugh at her, hooking, saying:
you're still child, you'll learn better" because
she never deserted the working class She can
remember the days when Socialists turned patriots
with the declaration of war; though she was neither
confused nor tricked by the leadership that had
sold itself to the bankers and the munitions manu-
facturers.

they would use it that way"
But it could be used to break

Violating Rights of Citizens
THE practical effect, therefore.
of your proposed law would be not
only to arrest aliens, but to violate
the Constitutional rights of citizens,

For the next half hour the Com
missioner talked. He talked about
the pressure" brought to bear on
his Department by patriotic"
societies, by industrial organiza-
tions," etc., etc.
Finally, turning to the Solicitor
General of the immigration Bureau,
w. w. Brown, he asked, How many
grounds do we have under the
present law, Mr.. Brown, for deport-
ing radical aliens?"
Three thousand six hundred"
was the prompt reply
Three thousand, six hundred
reasons for deporting aliensl Radi-
cal aliens.
Three thousand six hundred
reasons for deporting "aliens" de-
manding an american" standard
Of living!
This proposed ARREST without a
warrant" law directed against
aliens, together with the proposed
federal sedition laws directed
against citizens, is clearly the be-
ginning Of a fascist drive against
native and foreign-born workers,
Negroes as well as white.
Against this shameless and brutal
assault upon the fundamental liber-
ties Of the American people, all
working people and liberals should
unite in a vigorous protest.

A Few Words

ONE by one her comrades in the party unit and
y in the LID. rise to say few words. Some of
them make long speeches Some are simple, and
recall incidents of her history. This aughngly
complains that he can't enter her house nor leave
it without buying some literature. This one recalls
the time when, in a stationery store she ran for
a while, she sold more propaganda than merchan-
disc. This one recalls how, rain or shine snow or
sum- whatever assignment she was given was carried
out.
She sits there and says: What are they talking
so much for?"
And to cover her embarrassment. she hurries to
bring in more cups of tea and more plates with
the little cakes on them.
Then they ask her to speak. To say few words.
Organizers have spoken. Important people. Doing
big work. Doing important work She says she
can't speak, she's not good speaker. It's party,
why should she speak? Speak speak. She gets up
and says:
Comrades, think the comrades gave this party
because they thought maybe I'm getting old and
maybe need little pep"
Even the kids, the pioneers, are quiet and smil-
ing She is standing under the red banner on the
wall. Lenin's face is behind her the portrait Of
Lenin with the half quizzical smile on his face.
She says They thought maybe I'm getting a
little tired now and need celebration or some
thing to put some pep into me. 7 remember. COM
rades, when Steve Katovis was shot, They fired the
bullets the police, and we ran, but then the COM

me, comrades, do you know what Comrade Kotovis
said? Do you know what he said to me lying
there in the gutter all his blood out of him? He
said don't worry about me; go do your work."
She pauseS, the pioneers are not smiling the
workers along the wall are listening quietly some
with their heads bent.
I'll never forget that comrades, what Com
rade Steve Katovis said. I'll never forget how he

Fascist Terror Fails To Halt
York Of Revolutionary Theatre

with agit-prop troupes in all large
cities. In 1880, Chinese writer's and
intellectuals formed a League of
Workers of the Revolutionary Thea
tire. Czechoslovakia organized a large
Union of Workers Theatres. The
Workers Theatre League of France
was established. The Proletarian
Theatre Union Of Japan was one
of the earliest and best sections of
the IUR.T. To the United States,
in the New Theatre League (for-
merry the League of Workers Thea
tres), goes the honor of having the
strongest section Of the I.U.R.T. to-
day. There are smaller sections In
many other countries, some with in
dividual groups of high artistic
quality. Music, film and dance or
CARNATIONS of many lands are also
aff1liated with the I.URT., which
has special bureaus to deal with
these related arts.
Most significant, too, is the fact
that in more and more countries
whose revolutionary theatres were
until recently entirely amateur and
narrow, there are now large influxes
of professional theatre workers and
artists who wish to place their
talents at the service of the masses,
and from whom they in turn re-
ceive a better understanding of the
social function of their art. The
barbarous cultural reaction Of fas
cism in contrast with the advance
of culture in the Soviet Union has
made clear to them that only the
working class today cherishes and
defends the cultural heritage Of
mankind, and only the working
class today offers inspiration for
great art.
The revolutionary theatre in
many countries carries on its work
in the face of brutal police terrorism
and censorship. How many martyrs
of culture have persisted in this
way will only be known in the fut-
ure. The most outstanding case is
that of the great German actor
Hans Otto, blue-eyed blond Aryan,
co-star of Elizabeth Bergner and
Werner Krauss on the stages of the
finest German theatres, leader of
the struggle for a militant policy in
the actors union, and devoted or
ganizer of the German workers
theatre. man whom the fascists at
first tried to win over with brides,
and, falling, murdered secretly.
THE terror in China, in Japan, in
Germany has failed to halt the
work of the revolutionary theatre.
