Radical Pampblet Colletion Coutesy Bloomsburg State CoUege Library TRIUMPH AND DISASTER: THE READING SOCIALISTS IN POWER AND DECLINE, 1932-1939-PART II BY KrNNErm E. HENDmcKsoN, JR.' D EFEAT by the fusionists in 1931 did little internal damage to the structure of the Reading socialist movement. As a matter of fact, just the reverse was true. Enthusiasm seemed to intensify and the organization grew.' The party maintained a high profile during this period and was very active in the political and economic affairs of the community, all the while looking forward to the election of 1935 when they would have an op- portunity to regain control of city hall. An examination of these activities, which were conducted for the most part at the branch level, will reveal clearly how the Socialists maintained their organization while they were out of power. In the early 1930s the Reading local was divided into five branches within the city. In the county there were additional branches as well, the number of which increased from four in 1931 to nineteen in 1934. All of these groups brought the rank and file together each week. Party business was conducted, of_ course, but the branch meetings served a broader purpose. Fre- quently, there were lectures and discussions on topics of current interest, along with card parties, dinners, and dances. The basic party unit, therefore, served a very significant social function in the lives of its members, especially important during a period of economic decline when few could afford more than the basic es- sentials of daily life.

  • The Puerto Rican Diaspora to the United States
    THE PUERTO RICAN DIASPORA TO THE UNITED STATES: A POSTCOLONIAL MIGRATION?1 Jorge Duany In 1953, the General Assembly of the United Nations removed Puerto Rico from its list of ‘non- self-governing territories’. Officially, the Island was no longer considered a ‘colony’ of the United States. Since then, the US government has repeatedly claimed that the Puerto Rican people have exercised their right to self-determination, that they adopted their own Constitution, that they have attained self-government and that they are freely associated with the United States (Mekdad, 2002). The leaders of Puerto Rico’s Popular Democratic Party (PDP), who favour the current political status, insist that in 1952 the Island entered into a ‘bilateral compact’ with the United States. That year, 81.9 per cent of the Island’s electorate approved the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Estado Libre Asociado, in Spanish, or ‘Associated Free State’). From this perspective, Puerto Rico may be deemed a ‘postcolonial’ state that has received the consent of the majority of the governed. This state is characterised by free elections, a competitive party system, respect for human rights and legal protection of civic liberties, as well as extensive welfare and social programmes. However, the exact nature of the relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States has been intensely disputed since the creation of the Commonwealth. Both independence supporters and proponents of the Island’s incorporation as the fifty-first state of the American union have denounced the continuing ‘colonial’ relations between Puerto Rico and the United States. The Island remains under the ‘plenary power’ of the US Congress, and residents of Puerto Rico do not enjoy all the constitutional rights and privileges of US citizenship.

We hear commentator talk on the radio about "labor". In Washington, Senators and Congressmen always talk about "labor". Some of the newspapers, radio commentators and Congresmen fsay that labor is ruining the contry. But others state that unions have been a great benefit to our land and that a strong labor movement is essential to our democracy. They are quick to remind you that the first organization Hitler and Mus- slini destroyed when they come into power were the labor unions. Since there is so much public discuion and disagreement about us, we trade union members ought to know a little more about our- selves. Who s Labor? Wht Is Labor? In 1952, about 40 million men and women were working for wages or salaries and about 16 million of these workers were members of some kind of trade union. Some were in the America Federation of Labor.

  • Leon Trotsky's Adventure in American Radical Politics. 1935–1937
    M. S. VENKATARAMANI LEON TROTSKY'S ADVENTURE IN AMERICAN RADICAL POLITICS. 1935-7 x) On 24 January 1936 Rose Karsner of New York City received a cablegram from Norway: "PERSONALLY IN FAVOUR OF ENTRY-LEO." The sender of the cablegram was the exiled Bolshevik leader, Leon Trotsky, and the recipient was the wife of the most important "Trotskyist" leader in the United States, James Cannon.2 The Russian revolution- ary thus gave his blessing to a new manoeuvre by which the American Trotskyists were to enter the Socialist Party of America for certain well-defined objectives. The purpose of this paper is to describe the story of a political adventure in the United States largely masterminded by Trotsky. Till the publication recently of the third and final volume of Isaac Deutscher's biography of the "Prophet", very little had been written concerning the activities of Trotsky following his expulsion from the Soviet Union.3 Trotsky's own "diary in exile" published in 1958 by 1 Dr. Venkataramani is Head of the Department of American History and Institutions, Indian School of International Studies, New Delhi. 2 "Leo" (Trotsky) to Rose Karsner, 24 January 1936, James P. Cannon Papers. The Papers are in the personal custody of Mr. Cannon and the writer examined them in Mr. Cannon's residence in Los Angeles, California. Letters from Leon Trotsky cited in this article were mostly in German and occasionally in French. Exact English translations of the letters were made by trusted American friends for Mr. Cannon who was not acquainted with those European languages.

  • The Socialist Party Convention Day-By Day [Events of May 21-24, 1932] by Edward Levinson
    The Socialist Party Convention Day-by Day [events of May 21-24, 1932] by Edward Levinson Published in The New Leader, vol. 13, no. 22 (May 28, 1932), pp. 6-7. Milwaukee.— No convention of a political party on the eve of power could have witnessed more intense and earnest contests over policies and over leadership than took place at the 17th National Convention of the Socialist Party.1 The size of the convention, the diversity of delegates, and the utter seriousness of the debates indi- cated a party on the threshold of a great growth. The outstanding events of the four days and ten sessions can thus be summarized: 1. The nomination of Norman Thomas and James H. Maurer for President and Vice-President. 2. The adoption of a national platform stating in ringing and comprehensive fashion the Socialist criticism and program. 3. Adoption of a statement on Soviet Russia, modifying previous party positions in favor of an “endorsement of the efforts being made in Russia to create the economic foundations of a Socialist society.” 4. Statement of Socialist position and a program of party activities aimed at bringing closer cooperation between trade unions and party. 5. Adoption of a platform plank urging repeal of the 18th Amendment, the prohibition amendment. 1 The initial conventions of the Socialist Party of America were not “numbered,” but by the early 1930s this naming system had become common, with the 1932 gathering designated the party’s “17th.” This number appears to have been erro- neous, however. Starting with the Socialist Unity Convention at which the SPA was formed, conventions or "congresses" were held in: (1) 1901; (2) 1904; (3) 1908); (4) 1910; (5) 1912; (6) 1917; (7) 1919; (8) 1920; (9) 1921; (10) 1922; (11) 1923; (12) 1924; (13) 1925; (14) 1926; (15) 1928.
