Suppression of Marks
Theories Uncovered
In Engels' Feurbach

Marxist-Leninist publishing has
again uncovered another suppress
sion, typical of the wholesale falsi-
fcation of Marxist writings by
cautious" social-democratic editors,
The example is Frederick Engels'
Ludwig Feuerbach." This classic
exposition of dialetical materialism,
once published in a butchered edi-
ton, is now available through In
ternational Publishers release of a
scientific edition based on definite
texts supplied by the Marx Engels-
Lenin Institute.
Feuerbach was a radical publicist
who represented the progressive
bourgeois democratic movement of
the "forties" Though both Marx
and Engels acknowledge his influ-
ence in that period, Feuerbach's
outlook was by no means Marxist.
His socialism" Lenin wrote, was
an enlightener's atheism with a
socialist tinge," whereas Marx and
Engels we're representatives of the
revolutionary proletariat.
Internationals edition of Feuer-
bach contains Marks eleven theses
on Feuerbach which Engels dis
covered in an old notebook of
Marks. These are notes hurriedly
scrubbed down for later elaboration,
absolutely not intended for publca-
ton, but they are invaluable as the
first document in which is deposited
the brilliant germ of the new world
outlook" Engels wrote in his intro
duction to Feuerbach.
Social-democratic respect for such
a historic document is expressed in
their translation" of the theses.
While Marx, in analyzing the chief
defects of Feuerbach, wrote that he
did not grasp the significance Of
revolutionary Of practical-critical
activity" previous English editions
of Feuerbach omit this entire SEN
tence.
International's edition of Feuer-
bach is typical of the rich store of
Marxist- feminist literature which
the house is preparing for release
in the next few months,

A Model Meeting

THE best large meeting we have had in New York
recently was the great Lenin Memorial meeting
at Madison Square Garden. Some $4,000 persons
were there, the meeting began at and ended at
1890 Everything ran by the clock, and there was
time for everything including a revolutionary
pageant. Scores of letters came into the Daily
Worker congratulating the Party on this model
meeting
How did the miracle take place? There had been
so many badly-run, undisciplined meetings, with
long winded speakers and restless audiences meet
ings that began at and ended long after mid
night, that it had become scandal. Instead of
winning new recruits to Communism, it bored them
and drove them away. Even the most loyal of
party members found themselves dissatisfied
worker who must be up at six or seven the next
morning resents being kept up till one in the morn
mass meeting He comes to feel that something
must be wrong with those who organized such a
meeting, that they must be out of contact too,
with the mass of workers to whom late meetings
mean valuable sleep and health snatched away
for no real purpose.
Well, can tell the inside story of the Madison
Square model meeting 1t was managed by two
writers, two men trained in stage technique Albert
Maltz and Paul Peters, authors of that stirring
revolutionary play, "Stevedore."
1t was they who held the watch on the speakers
and the chairman, and made the whole vast meet
ing click like a f1rst-rate play. They were in
position to do so, because they had first gone to
Earl Browder with their plan for the meeting He
welcomed them with open arms and fought to
give them complete authority over the meeting
The result was this tremendous success.

Of salaries for the year 1888.
For example, in the year 1888
David Loew drew 1921 900; Irving

$311 900; w. Sheehan, s250,O0O; Carl

$173,142.
While of the 1853 actors and
actresses employed during 1893, eX-
GLIDING extra players, 432 earned
less than $1,000 a year; 1872 earned
from $1,000 to $4,000; 1853 earned
from $4,000 to $4,000; 108 earncH
from $1,000 to $4,000; 80 earned
from $4,000 to $4,000; 81 earned
from $1,000 to $4,000.
In other words, so per cent OF
the actors employed in the industry
earned less than $4,000 in 1893, out
of which they had to expend 10 per
cent to the agent and at least so
per cent for wardrobe and other
working tools. Seventy-five per
cent earned less than $1,000, more
than half of which evsporated also
in expenses incidental to work,

THIS is one of the ways writer's can be used in
the movement.
Tony Minerich's pamphlet idea is another fine
method. Every organizer who needs technical help
in his journalism, his strike publicity his leaflets,
or research must learn to use the fine technical
ability Of the writer's
For years. 1t is they who have been pressing
their aid on the movement often to find them

crete ways in which they use the writer's. When
they ask for help they will be surprised at the

Writers are Engineers

THE Writers Congress should not only receive the
attention Of writers 1t should be subject of
discussion in all the union locals party units and
workers clubs.
The Congress will invite delegates from all the
workers groups If there is merely a mechanical
response to such an invitation however, 1t will be
of no service to anyone
The workers ought to hold a series of discus
sfons on revolutionary literature in the next few
months, draw up their own resolutions to be
presented at the congress- take active mass role
in the congress.
They should deliberate and then send their mes
sages to the writer's, telling what the workers ex-
pect and demand of their own writer's
Such discussions will serve twofold purpose:
they will broaden the cultural sphere of the work.
ers and will also help the writer's clarity their own
relations to the revolution.
Tell the writers what novels and plays you like
best, and what you demand of a play, novel or
poem. Suggest themes to the writer's and new
ways of being of service to you. 1t is what they
need and want to hear from you; up to now, you
have been silent and they have had to work in the
dark.
At the congress of Soviet Writers held recently
In Moscow, such messages came from thousands of
factories, collective farms, and even villages The
Pioneer kids sent delegates who told what millions
of children demanded of their authors. 1t was one
of the most inspiring congresses ever held in the
Soviet Union. AS Stain told the congress, I'VE
need engineers who build machines, but we also
need engineers who build new human soul You
writer's are the engineers who build the new soul"
The communication of ideas, it is called
agitation, Is of the most important sides of the
working class movement Writers are engineers
who have acquired the best bourgeois technique in
this work We should learn how to use them In
time such as the present, technique has become
matter of high political Importance.

The revolutionary center is
moving from the West to the
East. In the first half of the 10Th
century this center was in France,
some time in England. In 1848,
Germany entered the ranks of
revolutionary nations. The new
century is being ushered in by
such events as induce us to think
that we are confronted by a fur
Their removal of the revolutionary
center, namely, to Russia. Russia,
which has imbibed so much rev.
olutionary initiative from the
West, is now perhaps itself ready
to serve as a source of revolution
airy energy. The Russian revolu-
tionary movement which is now
bursting into fame will perhaps
become the strongest means for
the determination of the senile
philistinism and sedate politics
which is beginning to spread in
our ranks, and will again rekindle
the militant spirit and the pas
sionate devotion to our great
ideals.
Russia has long ceased to be
for western Europe a prop for
reaction and absolutism. The case
now may be said to be reversed.
However, the present struggle in
Russia may end, the blood of the
martyrs who have originated
from it, unfortunately in too
great numbers, will not have been
shed in vain. 1t will nourish the
shoots Of the socialist revolution
throughout the civilized world

are destined to be that storm

CHAPTER w
The Heir of Lenin-The Communist
International

NINETEEN THIRTY -FOUR wit
~ messed the tenth anniversary of
the death of Lenin.
How far have these ten years
confirmed the correctness of his line
and his outlook?
These ten years have seen the
collapse of all the capitalist dreams
of recovery" after the War, the
increasing breakdown of the YER
sailles settlements, the advance OF
imperialism to still more intense
conflicts, the development for over
four years now of a world economic
crisis without parallel in intensity
and duration, and the ever more
universally recognized approach to
new world war.
These same ten years have seen
the advance of the Soviet Union
from the weakness and economic
paralysis consequent on war and
civil war to heights of economic
construction without parallel in
their tempo and extent in the his
tory of capitalism; to a level of
production multiplied more than
fourfold in a decade and over three
times pre-War, alongside actual de-
cline at the same time in every
capitalist country, and already
bringing the Soviet Union to the
rank of the second greatest indus
trial country in the world, with
Britain falling to third place and
Germany to fourth.
Whatever the future battles that
still await the Soviet Union and
the world revolution, these achieve
ments, and still more the profound
cultural work that has bee n
achieved, can never be destroyed,
and constitute already the first
foundation of the future world
order.
Finally, these ten years have seen
the advance and intensification of
the class struggle; the development
of the process of revolutionizatior
not only in Europe and America,
but also throughout Asia; the in
creasing breakdown of the forms of
bourgeois democracy in the growing
intensity of the struggle; the new
collapse and surrender Of the Sec

Excessive Hours
and Pay Cuts
BY DAVID PLATT

ONE of the severest indictments
" ever hurled at the heads of the
capitalist movie masters is con-
tanned in the startling report of the
"fve-five" producer actor commit
tee" members of the Screen Actors
Guild, to the National Recovery Ad-
ministration, con d ming the
vicious open-Shop practices of the
movie producers in no uncertain
terms as a "despotic feudalism over
the working conditions of those who
actually make the pictures"
The long and detailed report
signed by five members of the
Screen Actors Guild, Robert Mont
gomery, Claude King, Ralph Nor
gan, Kenneth Thomson and Richard
Tucker, issued as a result of pres
sure of the rank and file in the
Guild who believe they see a way
of lettering their conditions through
the MIRA. fair practice code, ex-
plodes once and for all the pro-
ducer-inspired, press-agented myth
that the life of the average movie
actor is one of luxurious abandon,
and therefore it is the "basest in
gratitude for him to protest his
working conditions"
Excessive hours of work, some
times 16 hours day with no holi-
days, insufficient rest periods after
grueling battles with kleig lights
and supervisors whose stupidity is
matched only by their insolence, no
pay for overtime work, layoffs at the
uncontrolled option of the producer

no remuneration and often cancel

up by the producers as bulwark
against possible strikes-these are
some of the many grievances aired
in the Screen Guilds report to the

ACCUSING the movie producers
n of having attempted the most
heinous practices known to the in
dustry in their effort to keep the
vast majority of screen actors on
starvation-wage scale, the report
goes into an enlightening compari-
son of the salaries of movie eXecu-
tives with the wages of movie actors,
which reveal the fact that only one
and three fifth cents of every dollar
received at the box-of1ce goes to

of the actors for improved working

CHINA is headline news these
v days. In the north, japanese
troops continue their slicing process.
Roads against the Soviet Union are
being blazed. In the southwest, the
Red Army is completing its histori-
cal maneuyer. Szechuan, the larg-
est province in China, sees the rise
Of new, more powerful Soviet cen
ter.
But these movements are deeper,
wider and of greater world signif1-
canoe than can be graSped in the
capitalist press. In its five issues
(the latest, February, has just come
off the press China Today has
done more to clarity what is hap
pening in China and the Far East
than any other publication in the
United States in the same period.
The February issue is a mine of
information on the great events
now going on in China. Japan and
Chang Kai Shek in Chahar and
North China" by Husng Lowe is
detailed analysis of the back
ground Of the present troops move
ments. It lays bare Chang Kai
Shek's policy with relation to Jap

nation in China. The quotation
from Japan's ambassador to the u.
s., Hiroshi Saito, is a gem: 'Gf we
find it necessary for the peace in
the Far East. Japan will swallow
North China no matter what other
powers say or do"

by E. P. Greene gives a detailed
analysis Of war expenditures, and
what they are intended for. j. w.

move out of Kiangsi westwards.
With this We recommend reading
the letter of an eye witness in the
interior of China who describes the
movement of the Red Army and
what happened when they occupied
towns on the march to Szechuan.
AN EXCEPTIONAL feature in this
n issue is the brilliant literary
article by Lu Hsun, one of China's
foremost authors, entitled, Mon
sters in the Chinese Literary
World" This is the finest piece Of
Chinese literary criticism ever
printed in the United States. 1t
deals with Chang Kai Shek's of
fensive on the literary front. Chi
nese revolutionary authors often
finish their writing careers wallow-
ing in their own blood, with their
heads severed from their bodies. LII
deals with the three movements in
Chinese literature, and Chang Kai
Shek's new censorship exceeding
even the Japanese in its brutality.
His style is powerful. It bristles
with ancient Chinese wisdom, used
to slash away at the Cringing lit
erary apologiyts aiding feudalism
and imperialist domination by their
support to the bloody regime of
Chang Kai Shek.
The whole magazine is gotten
up attractiYely, with many valu-
able Illustrations, photographs, car

that can be found in this issue.

NATHANIEL BUCHWALD.

EDITORS NOTE: Comrade
Buchwald is correct in the Objec-
ton he expresses in the above let
ter. There is nothing in his article
on the Artef in the current New
Theatre which could have been
correctly interpreted by the re-
viewer to imply that the Artef is
now or has at any time been I'M
der the influence of chassidic
theology. Buchwald's phrase "Sec-
ond Avenue in the sentence 1.-THE
hang of Second Avenue is
well-nigh gone," is well understood
in Jewish theatre circles to refer
to a certain crudeness in style of
acting, and cannot be stretched to
include the theology Of the group.
