Matching stride for stride with tens of thousands of tanned, healthy, spade-carrying German Labor Front workers who tramped across Nürnberg's green field, tens of thousands of tanned and healthy young Russian parachute jumpers, pilots and sharpshooters, children clutching airplane models and girls in nurses' uniforms trooped across Red Square behind dipped crimson banners. The only direct reference to Germany among the hundreds of banners attacking Fascism and aggressor nations were those proclaiming "Bolshevist greetings to the revolutionary proletariat in Germany...
...Mexican Government Petroleum Administration was swapping oil for newsprint with Nazi Germany. A very good reason for loudly proletarian President General Lázaro Cárdenas' Government failing to broadcast this news for home consumption was that simultaneously in Mexico City was convening the first Latin-American Labor Conference, which opened with many a sharp cry against "Nazi and Fascist penetration of Latin America."

...William Morris and John Ruskin; one form of its fulfillment now is the Federal Art Project's Community Centre program (TIME, Sept. 5). Meanwhile, strict Marxists interpret the social use of art narrowly to mean that art should be an instrument of class struggle, and many Lovers of Labor subjects have appeared. One of these is able Sculptor Max Kalish, represented in the Baltimore show by The Spirit of American Labor (see cut) and seven other pieces. Contrasting such idealization with satirical but penetrating prints such as George Grosz's Workingman's Sunday (see cut) or Peggy...
