ciple ~, he would have found
that, due to its contradictions,
capitalism comes periodically into
violent collision with the factors
of economic expansion which it
itself creates, that this collision
constitutes the fundamental con-
tradiction of capitalism-the con-
tradiction between the productive
forces and the production rela-
tions. Under imperialism, as de-
fined by Lenin, the contradiction
between capitalism and the fac
tors of economic expansion Gre
ated by itself becomes especially
acute.
This discussion of Corey's con-
ception of imperialism la Luxem-
burg is fine example of the power
and resourcefulness of Marxist-
feminist criticism. But this is
merely one of the nine topics dis
cussed in the pamphlet.
I specially want to recommend to
the readers the brilliant discussion
of the relative and absolute increas-
ing misery of the masses, End and
Means in Bolshevism and in Social
Democracy" on page AZ, the whole
discussion of the United Front, and
the paragraph on the "fetishism of
democracy on page go.
IF PARTICULAR political import
" ance at the present moment is
the penetrating theoretical discus
sion of the United Front as well as
a. comprehensive summary of the
status and prospects of the United
Front on an international scale.
The fact that this pamphlet is
the direct product of a polemic
against a widely distributed current
American book on capitalism is ex-
tremely significant. 1t is not merely
writing about the struggle, but is
itself spearhead in the theological
sector in the front line of the class
struggle. This is the reason for the
striking dialectical manner of its
way of presentation, which is not
the least valuable feature of the
pamphlet.
The most effective way of con-
Quoting the warfare on the ideo-
logical front is to join issue with
enemy-ideas, expose them and an
initiate them in direct combat.
This is the only way to develop
Marxism-Leninism on American
soil, to make MarxiSm q
part Of the life and struggle of the
American masses. This is one of
the most important tasks facing the
American revolutionary movement
Let this pamphlet be a powerful
stimulation to productive revolu-
tionary criticism in America.

WORLD ofbe
DANCE
Fe ATS Recital
Reviewed by
NELL ANYON

THE first New York recital Of Fe
ALT last Sunday night at the
Little Theatre revealed an addition
to the dance world of great poten-
tial Importance. Miss Alt is a dancer
OF unusual ability, having an amaz-
ing aptitude for beautiful fluent
movement, highly controlled dy-
manic motor power and a histrionic
gift which, if unchecked, however,
may tend to take her work out of
the realm Of concert dance.
AS an exponent of the Mary Wig
man School in Germany, Fe Alt
reflects very creditably excellent
though limited training. The most
outstanding composition in the pro-
gram was Degradation (from the
Cycle "The City."O This dance
more than any other presented the
latent possibilities of Miss ALT to
think clearly, to feel and to reflect
conditions of modern life-although
she as yet added nothing new to
themes previously presented by 9TH
er young dancers (soloists of the
Workers Dance League in perhaps
clearer and less obvious form.
One felt in watching Miss ALI
that here was certainly great force
Of movement, intelligence and art
tstry, but something was lacking
throughout the entire performance.
That something was conviction. It
is difficult to reconcile the appear
ance, on the same program, of the
dances from the Cycle The City,"
with the snowy theatrical prom
enade,' the incense-befogged "Chor-
ale,' the mystical sentimentality of
"Reverie."
Might not this be due to the fact
that Miss ALI had tried to please,
at the same time, the element of
Unconscious" dance-lovers who
come to enjoy in oblivion, and those
revolutionary, aggressive elements
who seek significant dramatic ex-
preston of the desires, aspirations,
and struggles of the masses? When
one shows such awareness of actual
social conditions as Miss ALI showed
in her portrayal of the momentous
drudgery Of labor, the degradation
and degeneration of life under cap
italism, and in the suggestion of
struggle as the solution to these ills,
it is reasonable to expect that such
an artist would not lapse into the
pure" dance Of the flowery type.
The second half of the program
did not do her justice as a dancer.
1t is to be hoped that Miss ALI will
choose the path that will lead to
her further theological Qualification
through her alignment with the
revolutionary Workers Dance League
as the only path which offers def
mite possibilities for artistic deveI-
opment.

Words or Guns?

occasionally, receive rabid anti-senlitic let
" tiers from people who read the Daily Worker
for their own strange reasons. One of them writes,
and it is good sample Of the mind of such folk
1.-THE Jew, his religion, and the consequent
Christianity are the curse of the working masses
of the world. No one will deny that the Jews
may be divided as follows: 60 per cent of Jews are
bad, and this can be subdivided as follows: per
cent are monsters; per cent are octopuses; per
cent are sharks; 10 per cent vampires; Is
per cent are bedbugs; 20 per cent are lice; per
cent feas; and per cent are mosquitoes.
Ten per cent of Jews are Indifferent, like dogs
cats, rabbits, parrots, canaries and other pets.
Thirty per cent of the Jews are actually work
ers, and earn their bread by the sweat of their
brow; this category can be classified again. per
cent of these are brave; per cent would fight If
properly led 10 per cent are timid; Is per cent
are towards.
GAS we take it for granted that those who are
not with us are against us, come to the con-
cIusion that 10 per cent of the Jews perncious
and therefore (for the good of the human race)
ought to be exterminated. If one is anti-Jew he
is also anti-capitalist.
Here I say, and you know it as well, that the
Jew is naturally tmid man-nay, coward; and
70 per cent of leaders in the class struggle are
Jews, and consequently, men of very very little or
no CUTS, what chances do the workers stand in
winning the battle? :. .
who then is good Jew, you may ask? L
would say, a good Jew Is a Jewish worker, who
forgetting that he is a Jew, would fight the Jew
like hell"
There is more to the same effect. At first this
letter made me angry as most Of such letters do,
and I wanted nothing better than to be alone
with this man in a locked room for an hour, to
debate the Jewish question with him with anything
from a club to a gun. Sometimes there are no
words left with which to debate such people; you
know that it is battle to the death

FIVE men filed into the room,
L walked toward me, headed by the
riding boss. They ordered me to
come along" I refused. They
brandished their revolyers, dragged
me from the seat, and kicked me
from the room. One Negro had a
gun in brief-case but couldn't get
to 1t. =.
I was hustled to a car on the
road. Bob was too loyal to see me
go alone. He came out to inquire
where they were taking me. They
started beating him and forced him
into the car with me. Moore and
Lewis whirled their weapons, fin
gers on trigger. They poked guns
into our faces and bellies, they
kicked US, punched us-Bob's pres
ence dividing the blows. We were
both bloody about the face and
head. Bob had a barrel wound on
the cheek, I on the scalp.
The car was moved down the road
about a quarter of mile and
stopped. Rough treatment started
again. Drunk deputies stood around
and allowed 1t to go on.
Two new deputies appeared on
the scene and drove us to Marion,
the gsters following. We
crouched in our seats to keep the
lights of following cars from strik-
ing US. Once at Marion, we we're
taken to the sheriff's office. A
group questioned US.
We were taken to the basement
where we were allowed to wash. We
were taken to an attorneys office.
He questioned us all the time, stress
ing the matter of race equality. The
sheriff told us be was letting us go
without preferring charges. We
were escorted by two deputies to our
car, parked by the church house
and from there to the Poinsett
County line.
Before driving off, we entered the
church to look for my overcoat anG
Bob's jumper. Both we're gone. We
noticed pool of blood on the floor.
We discovered later our anxiety over
the blood was unfounded One of
the deputies pointed out a lynch
rope punched in the corner of the
room, which he said was meant for
us.

Reviewed by
r. DOONPING
THIS pamphlet is the best Marx
ist-Lenir1fst review of Lewis
Corey's book, The Decline of
American Capitalism" but it should
not be regarded merely as a book
review. The mistakes pointed out
are not merely Corey's mistakes,
but represent variety of prevail
ing distortions of Marxisn, and
they are dealt with not in the
casual manner Of an ordinary book
review. Following the tradition of
Engels, who gave a general sketch
of Dialectical Materialism in a
book-review which has itself at
tanned the proportions of book,
(Engels on Feuerbach, our authors
took the opportunity to write a
thorough discussion of the most i'm
portant characteristics of declining
capitalism, which touches upon
most of the leading problems facing
the American proletariat today. The
result is a good-sized fundamental
pamphlet on Leninism.
The pressing Importance of the
problems included, the clarity and
thoroughness with which each
problem is discussed, and the COM
prehensive nature of the scope of
the whole discussion, make this
pamphlet an excellent reference
text on Marxism- Leninism, and
should be studied by every ad-
vanced worker, farmer, and student.
The pamphlet starts with very
Illuminating discussion of Corey's
fundamental misunderstanding of
imperialism. 1t shows how Corey
has introduced confusion into the
question, and weakened the proof
for the decline of American cap
italism by adding" the idea of the
exhaustion" of the long time fac
tors of economic expansion to the
feminist theory of imperialism. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Corey, 1.-The decline
of American capitalism is condi-
toned by the exhaustion of the
inner longtime factors of expan-
sion," which, according to Corey,
include "the mechanization of old
industries, development of new in
dustries, industrialization of new
regions" Comrades Bittleman and
Jerome very significantly point out
the implied premise of Corey's
thesis in the following paragraph:
'Mr. Corey's conception of 'ex-
haustion' implies of necessity

Of capitalism proceeds upward.
But as the capitalist mode of pro-

Of non-capitalist modes of pro-

comes a halt to the accumulla-

economic expansion. With 1t be-
gins the era Of the decline Of cap

mise from which Mr.. Corey pro-
ceedS to the formulation of his
main thesis that it is the exhaus-
ton of the longtime factors of
expansion that causes the decline
of capitalism, the era of inn
perialism. 1t is only as it derives
from this premise that Mr.. Corey's
main thesis can make sense; for
the implicit premise does offer a
cause for the exhaustion of the
longtime factors of expansion
under capitalism: this is, the ex-
haustion of the spheres Of nom
apitalist and pre-capitalist
modes of production.
WITH the implied premise of
W Corey thus exposed, the authors
traced its kinship to Luxemburg's
theory of imperialism and the &C
Of capital, which has
repeatedly been shown to be faulty
by Lenin, Stain, and other leaders
of the Communist international.
Going a step further, the authors
traced Corey's attempt to add to
Lenin admixtures of Luxembourg" to
his basic error in methodology. Here
is one of the most brilliant para
graphs In the pamphlet:
MFR. Corey makes a serious
meteorological error. He ignores
two basic principles of dialectics

economic expansion: ~ the con-

subject, and (2) its dialectical
contradictions. Had he applied

ANTI-SEMITISM was once named by the
"A great Socialist, August Bebel, "the So
cialism of FOOLS" By this he meant, of
course, that only an ignorant fool could
be led to believe that capitalism was all
Jewish, and that the way to end capitalism was
to eliminate the Jews.
This is the demagogic theory spread by Madame
Hitler. Now that "she" has been in power for over
a year and has massacred, tortured and jim
crowed the Jews of Germany, is capitalism ended
thereP
OF course not The rich are getting richer in
Germany and the poor have become incredibly
poorer since Hitler was put in office For this
whole theory of anti-semitism is only another
peculiarly mean and horrible method of saving
capitalism. 1t is put forward by the rich CAPT
talists themselves, through their Hunky Hitlers
everywhere to fool the people to the real nature
Of capitalism.

it has sometimes worked. The Gar tried # for
