Insult and ,challenge to the German Father-
land.",
The last interview with von Ossietzky was re-
ported in the New York Times in February, 1937.
The man who had led the struggle for human
liberty in Germany, for the preservation of demo-
cratic principles in a Europe doomed to dictator-
ship, was fighting then to escape from passing
into a land from whose borders not even a "hol-
low voice" could be heard.
In the Germany of today it is treason to ap-
plaud a man who loved his country too much
to stand by while it was passing into barbaric
hands. In this part of the world which is still
civilized, however there are men who will take
off their hats in memory of one who fought for
peace and truth. Until the day when a great
people who once loved liberty and fought for
it come to their senses, we here must hold in trust
for them the memory of Carl von Ossietzky.

Time Moves Back .
And Forth In Jersey. .
T HE EXTENT to which New Jersey
legislators are obsessed with a mania,
to protect business and industry and make their
state a haven in which corporations will be able
to guarantee stockholders a yearly flow of divi-
dends was indicated in a news item printed Mon-
day by the New York Times.
It tells of a bill which already has passed the
Assembly and which proposes to force observ-
ance of legal holidays on the closest Monday.
Thus, if Memorial Day were to fall on Wednes-
day, paradeg would be held and school dismissed
on the Monday before, and Wednesday would be
an ordinary weekday.
The bill, it is reported, is being sponsored by
shore hotel owners, who could capitalize the
extra day of an extended vacation, but will face
strong opposition in the Senate from fraternal
and patriotic groups.
Luckily for New Jerseyites, whether the bill
passes or no, they will be able to shoot off their
firecrackers on July Fourth this year. It falls on a
Monday.

Heywood Broun
It is a pity that so many of us use labels
loosely and enervate the force of words. I'm
thinking particularly of "Fascist." It doesn't fit
very readily into the American language, and it
has been tossed about so much that the cover
is scuffed and the seams all ripped. The sphere
is out of shape and somebody
may demand that it be
thrown out of play. That
,.would be a pity because we
w ~' need the word or its precise
equivalent. We need it des-
perately and we need it now.
In my opinion the most
formidable Fascist movement
which has arisen in America
is being nurtured in Madison,
Wis., by Phil La Follette. Nor is this just phrase
mongering. In form and substance it follows the
blueprints which have been established by his-
tory. Nor is it reasonable to suppose that the
resemblances between the National Socialists and
the National Progressives are merely coincidences
and a matter of minor unconscious imitation.
Many sincere progressives and liberals leap up
and down in a rage when the charge is made that
the Governor of Wisconsin has definitely bor-
rowed much from the technique of Hitler. They
point out that Phil has an excellent record
as a man who has always been the foe of reac-
tion in America.
AFrGSe From Both Marx, Mammon
But they forget that Fascism begins 'in soil
well to the left of center. It goes directly to the
middle-class group and tells them that they are
threatened both by the greed of the conserva-
tives and the fury of the radicals. And the leader
promises to deliver them from both Marx and
Mammon. He will play the part of St. George
and slay the dragons of both labor and capital.
It is his object to drive a wedge between the
farmer and the industrial worker ,and so he uses
two platters as cymbals and promises to serve up,
as separate courses the head of Wall Street and
also that of John L. Lewis.
A great deal of successful propaganda has al-
ready been planted to convince the argriculturists
that the CIO is allied with the international1
bankers to keep them in subjection. It is char-
acteristic of the Fascist approach to present only
the shadowy sort of program, and to substitute
a kind of mystical excitation built around some
slogan or banner.
The movement may even be infused with a
distinctly religious tinge, and it will always be
animated by an intensification of nationalism.
The statement will be made that the Creator has
set aside certain vast domains in which his chosen
people are to find proper scope for their divinely
designated destiny.
Phil La Follette has done all this in his first
speech. He modestly bounded the scope of
American aspirations to include all lands lying
between the top of Alaska and the tip of Cape
Horn. After a four-hour interView with Gov-
ernor La Follette, Max Lerner, of the Nation,
wrote in that magazine:

In Memoriam,
Carl von Ossietzky...
CARL VON OSSIETZKY died this
month in a hospital near Berlin, bad-
ly broken in body and spirit, unquestionably as a
result of hardships and cruelties inflicted by zeal-
ous Nazi imprisoners. Yet the tragic story of
von Ossietzky is a terrifying one not only be-
cause of the treatment he received since the Na-
tional Socialists came into power, but chiefly be-
cause he stood for ideals which were once ac-
knowledged in civilized Europe-peace, freedom,
justice-and died only because he preached them.
A Prussian nobleman by birth, von Ossietzky,
who had served in the World War and seen its
horrors,became an outspoken opponent of war-
fare as a means of settling international disputes.
An ardent pacifist, he was the "martyr of the
true German Kultur" to millions of intelligent
persons in his own country and abroad. The war
confirmed his pacifist beliefs, and, like so many
others in the rest of Europe, he hoped that the
new Weimar Republic, with its brilliant intel-
lectual life, would mean a break from the old
militarism. Together with Helmuth von Ger-
lach and Kurt Tuchalsky, he fought a desperate
struggle in the Berlin weekly Weltbuehne to make
the young republic's life a peaceful and pros-
perous one. In those post-\ar years his greatest
task was consistently to point out the unreality
and weakness of the republic's resistance to the
spirit of militarism which was fighting all the
time to regain its .power. His criticism was en-
hanced by a deep understanding of human na-
ture, and he became Germany's greatest inde-
pendent journalist.
In 1931 von Ossietzky was found guilty by the
federal supreme court of Leipzig of the betrayal
of military secrets and sentenced to a year and
a half in prison. The trial, which was secret,
was in connection with the publication in the
Weltbuehne of an article attacking the German
government's expenditures on aircrafts in vio-
lation of the Treaty of Versailles. Shortly before
the Nazis came in, von Ossietzky was given an
opportunity to escape to the Czech frontier, but
he refused, saying, "a man speaks with a hollow
voice from across the border." He was among
the first "enemies of the state" arrested in March,
1933, and was immediately interned in a con-
centration camp.
Von Ossietzky's whereabouts were completely
enshrouded by mystery. Only the extreme pres-
sure exerted by prominent international jour-
nalists, including Romain Rolland, Nicholas Mur-
ray Butler and Wickham Steed, forced the Hitler
government to allow a group of journalists to
visit him at a camp in Papenburg. They found
him sick and beaten; he declined to talk or make
any complaint.
At this point the tragedy takes on an ironic
note. In a pamphlet called "What Was His
Crime?" fifteen distinguished English men and

THE FORUM

Radicals Sabotaging Spain
To the Editor:
On Monday four Spaniards spoke in Natural
Science Auditorium, telling of their country's
plight and begging for American aid. One of
them, Ramon Sender, is probably one of the
world's outstanding novelists. The other three
were people of almost equal prominence. Yet 125
people were there.I
When the great Professor Rhine of Duke Uni-
versity spoke at the same spot a short time ago
there was no room for the hundreds of goggling
students. It is hardly to be expected that, the
same people would return to hear a vastly more
important message.
But aside from the yokels, where were the hun-
dreds of student liberals and radicals? Did they
stay away on purpose? Are the radicals in Ann
Arbor sabotaging the Spanish cause?
(For obvious reasons I am using a pseudonym.)
-Fred Brandeis.
Freedom Of The Press
To the Editor:
Freedom of the Press: Does it exist? . . . After
long debates the ultimate conclusions are that,
first, this phrase is only the statement of an ideaV
which has never been reached, and second, that
apparently we approach this ideal in America
more nearly than any other contemporary World
power. At least this is what I have found to be
the consensus at Michigan. Assuming that these
conclusions are valid, then we ask how much bias
is there actually in the news . . , and it seems that
here we have an entirely different debate.
From time to time I have been confronted with
people on the campus who feel that, yes, there
might be considerable selection of the news, Uut
certainly no press association would knowingly
print anything but fact. Now this contention
is a very difficult one to prove or disprove. Only
at a mpch later date than the original publication
of a falsehood can you produce good evidence
against such a proposition as in the case of the
alleged World War atrocities. Then our oppon-
ents say that this is war; it was a time of con-
fusion, and undoubtedly the editors thought that
they were printing facts.
What kind of evidence would our opponents
accept? Well, first it must be recent evidence,
something that bears on our present problems.
Next, we must fully establish our sources of in-
formation. And perhaps last, the miscarriage of
news must be factual.
So I ask you to turn to last Sunday's Daily,
front page, extreme left-hand column where
there is printed an Associated Press dispatch.
Quoting in part, "The Press, workers' groups, and
others spoke in patriotic phrases endorsing the
President's action, but the country's most pressing
problem . . . one on which many observers believe
the fate of the Cardenas administration rests ...
remain unsolved."
If this item had been an editorial and labeled
as such, it would have been quite acceptable
I believe. But isn't this statement concerning
"the country's most pressing problem" entirely
opinion? Reading this paragraph hurriedly one
would think that certain specific experts had
come to an agreement on the matter. Or do I
make too much of this one item? Certainly this
topic is very recent and significant; no secondary
source of information is necessary other than
your own judgment; and, finally, the item is not
factual but is an opinion not properly accredited
to anyone in particular. It seems to meet our
previously mentioned requirements.
But let us consider another approach. Mex-

ITHEATRE~
By NORMAN KIELL
Wanted: A Playwright
This is the seventh year that the
Group Theatre is functioning. It
Theatre is functioning. To date, it
has produced the works of Maxwell A
Aiderson, John Howard Lawson, Clif-t
ford Odets, Richard Ardrey and oth- u
ers. In the future it hopes to count p
not only on the dramas of these B
men,.but also on an infusion of newi
blood. Toward that end, the Group
Theatre is sponsoring a play contest
for young writers.
The terms are as follows: The con-
test ends Jan. 1, 1939 and is open to
anyone not more than 25 years old. A
The cash award is $500, but the Group F
does not promise production. The
judges will be Howard Clurman, di- 4
rector of the Group; Clifford Odets, o:
its leading playwright; and Molly b
Day Thatcher, its playreader.t
There is no restriction as to sub- F
ject matter or theme nor as to the fi
style or manner of treatment. Since p
form is largely affected by content, n
equal consideration will be given to s
tragedy, comedy, farce, verse, natural-
ism and experimentalism. The flays
will be judged on the basis of the t
talent for theatre which they dis- ir
play, their amenability to dramatic a:
presentation their broad interest and N
their general vitality. Announce- T
ment of the prize-winning play will
be made on Feb. 15, 1939. All entries
should be addressed to the Play Con-
test, 234 West 44th St., New York
City. t

Bureau Of New Plays li
s
Theresa Helburn, director of The a
Bureau of New Plays, announces
that next autumn the work of the
past two years in aiding young play- gi
wrights will be directed to giving c
selected students of playwriting con- t
tact with the actual theatre.- M
Experiments in that direction were b
made last spring and summer with a b
few of the winners of awards and t
honorabje mention who watched re- t
hearsals, or, introduced by the Bu- in
reau, were employed as stage man- re
agers or extras. a
As had been apparent from the 4
first to Professors Kenneth Rowe, d
Walter Prichard Eaton and Frederick
H. Koch of the Advisory Committee.
and to Miss Helburn, work of this o
kind is of the utmost importance to r
young playwrights. For this reason. S
the Bureau will direct its efforts to o
building up a course of study in con- n
junction with attendance at rehears- 2
als from start to finish of Broadway fu
plays, and will include student con- r
ferences with leaders in various de-
partments of the theatre.

,Ied Many iter Poles
As a matter of fact, Phil can hardly have any
choice in the matter, since it is on record that
he visited Germany in 1933 and wrote a series.
of articles for the Hearst press in which he ex-
pressed admiration for many of Hitler's policies.
He was also much impressed by the achievements
of Mustapha Kemal. In 1933 he made a public
statement against the Jewish boycott of German
goods. '
"The Jew," he feels," writes Max Lerner, "have
- because of their economic success in a declin-
ing cabitalism ... become easy marks for vindic-
tiveness."
Senator Norris was not invited to sit in on the
conference where the party was born, nor did he
attend the first meeting at which the flag with,
the cross within the circle was unfurled.
Phil purposes to lead. The business of his fol-
lowers is to follow.
Norman Thomas has indicate4 at least a cor-
dial interest. Oswald Garrison Villard welcomes
the leadership of Philip. Both gentlemen have
the privilege of changing their minds. They owe
it to themselves to look at the record and compare
it point by point .with the opening phases of
Hitler's rise to power.
profits did too. The only profit that remained
in Mexico was in the form of wages and what ex-
port taxes existed.hAnd now, though Mexico may
be able to market only a fraction of the amount
previously exported, she will be able to actually,
retain for her peoples 100 per cent of the profits.
Logic, you say. Indeed, yes! But I hope that it
is much better than putting down an opinion and
dressing it up as a news item with the weight
of "MEXICO, May 14.-(W)."
