and Robert Rubin-during the four
years of the depression from 1929 to
1882, even while thousands Of movie
actors and extras were living wretch
edly from hand to mouth.
Furthermore, from 1928 to 1882
Adolph Zukor of Parsmount-Publ
received a total bonanza Of $3.50, SAG
in salaries plus $1,229, SOB bonuses
Jesse L. Lasky, not far behind, re-
ceived during the same period $500,
618 in salaries plus $1,223,50 bo-
muses.. Nicholas Schenk of Loews
Inc, from 1923 to 1888 pocketed
$15,525 in salaries and $1,213,604
bonuses, and so on down or up the
line.
THESE are the capitalist buzzards
lowering over the unorganized
movie workers, fattening on their
hide, and it is going to take more
than paper indictments and pro-
pcsals to the MIRA. Labor Board
to take the bite out of their beaks
In fact, the one glaring and regret
table shortcoming of the Commit
tees report is in their innocent
confidence that the mere adoption
of their proposals by the producers
will make for a better spirit and
better product" Only the most
naive and backward of observers
can still harbor the illusion, after
so many countless examples Of
treachery and deceit on the part Of
the producers, that they will peace
fully accept proposals that will
make the slightest indentation in
their bloated income.
Neither the MIRA Labor Board
which has proven itself in practice
to be the arch enemy of the wage
workers, nor anything but outright
and militant organization Of movie
actors in a union led by the loves
paid workers, the rank and file, un.
compromising in its attitude TOWARD
the producers, can ever hope t.
achieve a better standard of living
for the actors.
The plight of the movie actor and
the movie extra has gone far beyond
the narrow confines of the Screer
Actors Guild, and far beyond the
acknowledged impotence of the
MIRA. Labor Board. 1t is now uT
to the rank and file of the Screen
Actors Guild, hand in hand with al
exploited actors and extras anc
other film workers to take the mill
tant - the only way out of Their
crisis. What is more, the path is q
little easier today because of the
shining example Of the Motion Pic
ture Workers Industrial Union
which because of its militant stand
has been able to win better living
conditions for technical movie work

capitalism.
I ENIN was not able to live to see
IL these ten years of realization of
all that he had indicated, of rapid
unfolding of the decline of capi-
talism and of the advance of the
world revolution. He was not able
to give his direct leadership to the
world in these most critical years
of the world situation, when his
leadership has been most sharply
needed.
But he left behind him the forces
and the organized forms to carry
on the fight.
1t was an essential characteristic
of Lenin that from the beginning
to the end of his political life he
acted, never as an individual lead
err, but always as the conscious and
responsible representative of a
movement greater than any indi-
vidual. which existed before he was
born, and which continues after he
is dead.
That movement of the interna-
tional working class. of the inter-
national socialist revolution, which
found its first forms nearly a CEN
fury ago in the Communist League
OF Marx and Engels, which devel-
oped through the First Interna-
tional under the leadership of
Marx and Engels, and through the
forms of the pre-War Second In
ternational, he carried forward to
new stage and to new heights
in the period of the proletarian
revolution, through the forms of the
Communist International.

Change
the
World!
By MICHAEL GOLD

IF THE Writer'S Congress to be held in
May does nothing else but demonstrate
both to the American workers and intel
lectuals that writing, and the communica-
tion of ideas, is an immense factor in the
political struggle of our time, the congress will have
been worth while.
Every clever capitalist now is aware of the i'm
portance Of Hollywood in befudding the minds Of
the American people and leading them by easy
stages into fascism and another world war. Wash
ington and Wall Street have taken over this vast
engine for their own propaganda; and more and
more one sees pictures clarifying militarism and
the profit system
But many of our most advanced workers still
have a passive attitude toward our own writing.
For years, in our movement, as 7 can myself tes-
tify, the writer regarded as sort of Bohemian
hanger-on, kind of loafer whom every organizer
itched to put to work at something more useful.
This attitude 1t is true has changed, but not
enough Of our people have reached the positive
attitude Of a Tony NTinerich, who now edits the
Goal Digger" in Pittsburgh.
This splendid miner and union organizer when
in New York recently, organized a group of writer's
and fired them with the idea of coming down into
the coalhelds, and writing a series of pamphlets
for the coal dggers. Tony Minerich understands
the great Importance Of such work, and the value
of skilled writers in presenting a mirror to the
workers in which they can see clearly the facts
Of their own lives.
How many Of our organizers have reached this
point, where they know how or even care to- en-
poy those valuable allies, the writer's IN the sphere
Of mass-agitation?

The Artef Theatre
And Its theology
Feature Editor,
Daily Worker,
Dear Conrade:

Feature Editor,
Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:
The review by Arthur Dour of
the February issue of New Theatre
DAILY Worker, Feb. l, page y, con-
tains the following sentence pur-
porting to summarize my article on
the Artef in the New Theatre:
'The Artef now faces a diff
ficult transition period from
amateur to professional standing
and from Chassidic to American
proletarian theology and methods
Of staging"
To charge the Artef with chas-
side theology at any time in it's
history is absurd on the face of it
and to speak of the Artefs diff
cult transition" from chasSidic to
proletarian theology is sheer non
sense. How on earth your reviewer
has read this out of my article is
beyond my understanding.
Please correct this absurd error
which may have been made mad
vertently by the reviewer.
Comradely yours,
NATHANIEL BUCHWAID.

SPORTS
OF THE WEEK
(Chuck Rathe)

Days of yore In basketball cir
cles might be recalled-it's been a
long time since a Sank Centre out
fit entrained for a basketball tilt.
Friday because of weather condi-
tions the locals embarked by train
for st. Cloud where they met Tech
high. Tech has a real offensive
this year when it gets under way.
But the slow advent of scoring
plainly showed that both teams had
a bad case of the jitters-court
fright-and it took nearly a half
for the locals to forget it. Keldahl
and Arvig led the locals in a scor-
ing spree in the final stanza, while
Young and SaKry, of Tech, led the
Tigers on with offensive thrusts.
Keldahl took five points with two
neat tip in shots, and Arvig took
six points. Two of them he sunk
from the middle of the floor-the
kind that go swish-the kind that
coaches call pure auckland the
kind that make Coach Harvey
gnaw his finger nails to the hilt.
