Reviewed by
PHILIP STERLING
NAILY decked out in a two-color
u cover with poppy photograph,
the Working Woman makes a brave
and often successful attempt to
overcome its space limitations and
succeeds in crowding into its pages
great deal and an interesting
variety of material.
BY far the most attractive and
exciting piece in the issue is the
first installment of "Stockyar d
Stella" the love story of two pack
ing house workers struggling against
the economic crisis and the oppres-
sion Of their employers. The story
is highly compressed to meet the
handicap of the long interval be-
tween installments. 1t was collec-
lively written by group Of packing
house workers with the help of
Jane Benton.
THE Slave Market, Up-to-D Date"
is interesting reading, useful in de-
bunking Hollywood and the glamor-
Gus build-up given to Hollywood by
the scores of movie fan magazines
which have so long exercised a bale
full influence on the thoughts and
actions Of millions Of working wom-
en-. However, the story seems to
lack authority. 1t would be an ex-
cellent thing for the editors to use
more material Of this type, never
theless, possibly from persons con-
nected with the movie industry,
whose names are we'll known.
The magazine should pay more
attention 10 its handling of ma
terial. THE Slave Market" uses the
word hell" as a slang exclamation,
and though it is a quotation, its
prominence in sub-headline may
tend to be offensive to that large
number of women who have preju-
diceS in connection with the use Of
such words.
The same increased finesse Of
handling could be applied to other
material in the magazine. Articles
must be not only brief but because
they are brief must be all the more
Well-written.
The fashion letter has good draw
ing but the text tends toward over
simplified writing-down Too much
of an effort to sound as sugary and
idiotic as the writer's for the wo-
mems pages of bourgeois news
papers and magazines.
It's a good start, though. This
reviewer, If not one else, will be an
interested reader Of future install
ments of "Stockyard Stella"

The Daily Worker has been
printing serially the extremely
valuable and popular booklet by
r. Paine Dutt, Life and Teach
ings of V. I. Lenin," published by

technical reasons the installments
were omitted for two days.

anniversary of the death of Lenin.
During these ten years the teach
ings of Lenin have spread to ever
wider sections Of the globe, inspir-
ing the workers and oppressed to
greater assaults on capitalism.

CHAPTER III
Life of Lenin

ALREADY by September Lenin
IA was urging that the moment had
come for the final stage Of armed
instruction. During October his
warnings became ever more urgent,
lest the favorable moment of the
height of the wave should pass and
give way to mass disillusionment
and the consequent triumph Of the
ounter-revolution.
The responsible leaders of our
party are confronted with gil
gantic task; if they do not carry
1t ont, it will mean a total col
lapse of the internationalist pro-
letarian movement. The situation
is such that delay truly means
death. Letter of October II,
1917, to the BoIsheviks in the
Northern Soviet Regional Con
gress.)
Again and again through the
manifold urgent letters and mes
ssges of this period sounds the
note: Delay means death"
With all my power l wish to
persuade the comrades that now
everything hangs OH hair, that
on the order of the day are ques-
tions that are not solved by con-
ferences, by congresses (even by
Congress Of Soviets), but only by
the people, by the masses, by the
struggle of armed masses. Let
ter of November 6, 1917, to the
Central Committee.)
On October %, the Central Com
nittee Of the Bolshevik Party took
the final decision for the insur-
rection by a vote of all against two.
On the night of November and
the morning of November 7, the
conquest of power took place with
complete orderlinesS; the Provi-
sional Government had no longer
any support in any quarter to be
able to make resistance; the Boil
shevik Revolution was, in contrast
with the February Revolution, al
most completely bloodless, the most
bloodless revolution in history. The
Second All-Russian Congress of
Soviets took over the power as the
sovereign body, and appointed the
Council of Peoples Commissars,
consisting of Bolsheyiks, under the
leadership of Lenin, as the man
datories Of the new power of the
working masses. The dictatorship
Of the proletariat, in alliance with
the mass the peasantry, was
realized.
1T is essential to understand the
overwhelming majority support
of the population for the Bolshevik
Revolution in order to understand
why the final transformation was
able to take place with such speed,
apparent ease and complete lack
of resistance. The final trans
formation was only the elimination

A Solo Dancer

0COTT NEARING remained in the Party for sew
- eral years and always seemed to be in hot water
Scott Nearing was an individualist he followed
his own mystic impulses and logic. This may be
beautiful in solo dancer, but it gums up DO
litical movement where men must work together
and risk their lives collective decisior1
AS usual everyone was out of step but the mystic
individualst. Scott Nearing found himself per-
petually in disagreement with the Communist Party
line.
One night heard him give a speech on the
Far East that certainly far from Communism
Scott Nearing had taken over the whole crazy
Spengler theory that the white race was degenerat
Ing and that the yellow race would conquer the
world. Hearst's yellow peril in more subtle form
Nearing didn't present the Communist picture of a
proletar1an East shaking off the chains of the i'm
per1alists, and joining hands with the workers of
the west In building soviet world This is exactly
what is happening it is the scientific picture of our
day, but Scott Nearing preferred the false bourgeois
picture, the chauvinist picture that ignored the class
struggle, and turned the upsurge of the Eastern
masses into race war.
I don't mean to say he was conscious of the logic
OF his conclusions, or that he is a Spenelerite or
chauvinist. But his whole speech that night could
only lead to such position. Now if had told him
that, he might have disagreed and gone on re-
peating his false history. But when the executive
committee of the Communist Party told him about
this, and similar distortions of Communism il was
persecution"
Yet any party has the right to ask of its mem
bers that they subscribe to its platform and when
they speak in its name advocate its line After all
this Is party of volunteers, not of conscripts If
you disagree with the basic principles your place is
6ttside not inside, where you are more dangerous
C0ddling the IntelIectuals
THERE were many other such errors. and Scott
nall uraro toft
his letter that he was tired after Is years of DO
tcal battle, and was leaving the fate of the world
IN the hands Of the young.
But reader Of this column sends me clipping
from Canadian Socialist newspaper in which Scott
Nearing announces that that little bunch of po-
htcal adVenturers who call themselves the Workers
Party" are the party Of the future. The Commu-
mist Party has no future he says in this interview
SO now he believes he has found real theosophicsl
party, and he is no longer tired of the struggle it
seems Or is the interview fake? How the SUBJ
jectivsts drift to these little parties whose main
specially is coddng the ntellectuas in their worst
occupationa vices instead of teaching them to work
unselfshly with othersl

Putting On a Hair Shirt

THE recent political career of Nearing has been
marked by many alterations of the ingrown and
subjective type of mind.
remember the period when Scott Nearing was
about to join the Communist Party. He applied
for admission at least FIVE times before he was ad-
mitted The Communist leaders were wary of him,
and they were correct They did not doubt his hon
esty but they could sense the unhealthy manner
in which this economist had decided to join the
Party.
He not doing it because his scientific studies
had finally convinced him that the Communist line
was the only possible road which the working class
must travel toward new and better world
NO. Scott Nearing entered the Party as another
might monastery, He was putting on a hair shirt.
He was making a supreme sacrifice of some sort.
He was not enlsting with comrades in a working
class fight, but joining cult. He was sincerely
moved, and intensely honest about it ALL but surely
you would not choose a subjective mystic to lead
your strikes or run your locomotives however hon
est he might be-

Change
the
World!
By MICHAEL GOLD

DOR many years Scott Nearing was one
of the ablest and most esteemed revo-
lutionary intellectuals in this country. He
made a powerful impression on the plat
form, and during the late war was GER
ainly one of the best known leaders of the millions
of Americans who hated that commercial and con-
script war
Scott Nearing came out of a religious past,
though he was professor of economics who eff
fectvey used statistics as dynamic weapon against
the capitalists. Always there was tinge of Chris
tan Socialism running through his statistical books,
giving one an effect as if dabs Of whipped cream
had been placed on beefsteak
In Scott Nearing one always felt this conflict
going on-the man of science never could shake off
the barnaces of his churchly past. Now it is true
that nobody is born a Mar2ist Many of us come
out of the most curious backgrounds have met,
recently, former captain in the Salvation Army
who is a darn good Philadelphia Communist today,
and former rabbis, ministers and priests have
been known to attain an honest realistic approach
to the class struggle.
No doubt but that in the revolutionary move
ment there are hundreds of people who are good
fighters yet bear marks of the confusion and myst-
cism Of their personal history.
leader, however, anyone who sets out to
teach and organize the working class, must be free
of such confusion. Our lives are in his hand-We
follow him where he points out the road, and we
have right to demand perfect clarity and science
of him.
Disciple of TheOsOphy
MANY of us have heard Scott Nearing speak. He
HA has hard-hittng factual style that conveys
a remarkable illusion of scientific and irnpersonal
clarity. great deal of his writing has this same
quality and yet the amazing fact remains that
this is not the complete mind Of the man.
For many years Scott Nearing has been an ar
IDENTIFY naive disciple of theosophy. Yes, he swal-
lows all that tremendous nonsense which is as far
from laboratory science as the rawlings of a Holy
Roller.
You may say that anyone has right to any
private religious belief, if in his public life he is
loyal to the working class. This is true, but sooner
or later the man who leads a double life intel
lectually trips himself up.
The human mind is unity. You can't think
scientifically with one lobe of your BRAIN and theo-
sophically with the other, One of the tendencies
is bound to pervade the other, sooner or later
More and more, in his public life, the economist
Scott Nearing has yielded to the theosophist.
