...infancy in a papoose basket and though her name looks too good to be true, she is no made-over Choctaw or Czech. She claims descent from Roger Williams and 14 Revolutionary ancestors; her grandfather was a pioneer on the Northwest coast of which she writes. But her violent Marxian melodrama will never be recommended by the Daughters of the American Revolution. (The one Daughter in the book is a throwback, impoverished into sympathy for her Red neighbors.) Marching! Marching! obeys the law of Marxian fiction in having no hero but half-a-dozen protagonists, each symbolizing some aspect...
Dramatic moment of the week's hearings came when Tom Mooney, the one-time molder who claims he was framed by "the bosses" for agitating a streetcar strike, expounded his social views from the stand. Having had plenty of time since 1916 to acquaint himself with Marxian phraseology, he spoke easily of ''exploiting the workers" "working class struggle. "the historic objective." "I am a social revolutionist," he proudly declared, "one who believes all the wealth of the world should be socialized. ... I have always been in favor of the I. W. W. The President of the United States believes...
...Australia, they might point out that James Ramsay MacDonald's desertion of the Labor Party which had made him Prime Minister and his formation of a National Government was exactly paralleled in Australia by Premier Lyons. Neither the Scot nor the Tasmanian was ever a true toiler in the Marxian sense. Both got their start as schoolteachers.

...become enamored of theory and either fall to recognize facts or reject them when forced upon him, Inexperienced minds too easily confuse theory with actuality, and, in particular, are inclined to revolt when reality fails to jibe with theory. But a knowledge of theories--especially of such theories as Marxian socialism--will, in mature contact with actuality, strengthen rather than weaken faith in our American institutions. The only valid objection of those who hysterically denounce "radicalism" in the colleges is against those teachers--and they are rare indeed--who openly condemn, deride or misrepresent our present institutions...
...Kapital, his book has been gathering a Biblical reputation. Almost unmentioned in polite U. S. society before 1929, and still largely unread. Das Kapital now figures at piecemeal third-hand in many a topical argument, news story, sermon, book. The swelling spate of "proletarian novels" is a form of Marxian exegesis. Often too obviously propaganda for Marxian dogmas, they are apt to make dull if uncomfortable reading for non-Marxians. But last year Robert Cantwell's The Land of Plenty, last week Robert Whitcomb's Talk United States! showed readers of every shade that a novel could...
