  • Bio-Bibliographical Sketch of Charles Curtiss
    Lubitz' TrotskyanaNet Charles Curtiss Bio-Bibliographical Sketch Contents: • Basic biographical data • Biographical sketch • Selective bibliography • Notes on archives Basic biographical data Name: Charles Curtiss Other names (by-names, pseud. etc.): C. ; Carlos ; C. Charles ; Carlos Cortes ; Charlie Curtiss ; Sam(uel) Kurtz ; Date and place of birth: July 4, 1908, Chicago, Ill. (USA) Date and place of death: December 20, 1993, Los Angeles, Cal. (USA) Nationality: USA Occupations, careers, etc.: Printer (lino-typist), political and union organizer Time of activity in Trotskyist movement: 1928 - 1951 Biographical sketch This biographical sketch is chiefly based on those biographical sketches and obituaries which are listed in the last paragraph of the selected bibliography below. Born Sam(uel) Kurtz1 as a son of immigrants from Poland in Chicago, Ill. on July 4, 1908, Charles (or, Charlie) Curtiss earned his living by various jobs as miner, sailor, etc. before becoming a printer (lino- typist). In Los Angeles he married Lillian Ilstien (1911-1985) in 1935 from whom he got a son, David (born 1943), and a daughter, Carolyn (1950-1993). In 1928, Curtiss in Chicago joined the ranks of the Communist League of America (CLA), an organiza­ tion of left communists, chiefly expellees from the Communist Party of the U.S. because of 'Trotskyist deviationism'. Led by James P. Cannon, Martin Abern and Max Shachtman, the CLA soon became the American affiliate of the international Trotskyist movement which soon adopted the name Interna­ tional Left Opposition. As a skilled printer, Curtiss took responsibility for the production of CLA's weekly paper The Militant. In 1932, Curtiss was sent by the party leadership to Los Angeles, Cal., in order to help building a CLA branch there.

Stevens ; J. Stuart ; J.B. Stuart ; J.E.B. Stuart ; Ted ; Tom Date and place of birth: May 5, 1910, ??? (Austria-Hungary) Date and place of death: March 12, 1982, London (Britain) Nationality: USA Occupations, careers, etc.: Printer, journalist, translator, seaman, organizer Time of activity in Trotskyist movement: 1929 - 1982 (lifelong Trotskyist) Biographical sketch Sam Gordon was an outstanding Trotskyist who during the 1940s played an eminent rôle as a liaison man between the American SWP and the European Trotskyists as well as within the leading bodies of the Fourth In­ ternational. The following biographical sketch is chiefly based on the material listed in the last paragraph of the Selective bibliography section below. Sam Gordon1 was born on May 5, 1910 as a son of Yiddish speaking Jewish parents living in that part of Poland which then belonged to the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. However, when Sam was still a baby, the family moved to Vienna, the Austrian capital, thus the boy grew up in a German speaking en­ vironment. In 1920, the family went to New York (USA) where Sam Gordon rapidly learnt English and got naturalized under the Americanized name of Gordon; as an adolescent he was fluent in three languages. In the early 1940s, Gordon got acquainted with Mildred Fellerman (b. 1923), a British teacher and Labour Party activist; when the two met again in Paris in 1947, they fell in love, and in 1948 they got married in the United States; in the 1950s they got a son.

  • British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 William Styles Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge September 2016 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy William Styles British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 This thesis is concerned with an analysis of British governmental attitudes and responses to communism in the United Kingdom during the early years of the Cold War, from the election of the Attlee government in July 1945 up until the election of the Wilson government in October 1964. Until recently the topic has been difficult to assess accurately, due to the scarcity of available original source material. However, as a result of multiple declassifications of both Cabinet Office and Security Service files over the past five years it is now possible to analyse the subject in greater depth and detail than had been previously feasible. The work is predominantly concerned with four key areas: firstly, why domestic communism continued to be viewed as a significant threat by successive governments – even despite both the ideology’s relatively limited popular support amongst the general public and Whitehall’s realisation that the Communist Party of Great Britain presented little by way of a direct challenge to British political stability. Secondly, how Whitehall’s understanding of the nature and severity of the threat posed by British communism developed between the late 1940s and early ‘60s, from a problem considered mainly of importance only to civil service security practices to one which directly impacted upon the conduct of educational policy and labour relations.

The first is what attitude our fractions should, in general, take towards "shop floor" issues in the plants. Before I go further, let me say that I am not of the opinion that our fractions should orient towards these "shop floor" issues and neglect what has been called "broad social questions." I agree generally with the replies to comrade Riehle in the pre-convention discussion by comrades Ryan, Kendrick and Taylor. But none of these articles dealt concretely with what attitude we should take towards "shop floor" questions. We clef initely should talk to as many workers as we can about "broad social issues" and socialism, sell the press, bring contacts to forums, etc. In the process, workers see us as people with intel- ligent ideas and consequently come up to us and ask us what to do about every problem, big and small.

    22REVIEWS (Composite)_REVIEWS (Composite).qxd 2/11/2019 11:39 AM Page 123 123 Reviews Latin America Grace Livingstone, Britain and the Dictatorships of Argentina and Chile 1973­1982, Palgrave Macmillan, 2018, 292 pages, ISBN 9783319782911, £16 During the twentieth century, Latin America was the scene of numerous military coups which established oppressive dictatorships notorious for their abuse of democratic and human rights. This book is a detailed study of the policies adopted by Britain towards two of them – in Chile and Argentina. On 11 September 1973, Augusto Pinochet, the head of Chilean armed forces, launched a coup against the democratically elected socialist president, Salvador Allende. He bombed the presidential palace, fired on and arrested thousands of Allende supporters and other left­wingers, and shut down all democratic institutions. In Argentina on 26 March 1976, the widowed third wife of former dictator Juan Peron, Isabella Peron, who had been elected president, was overthrown by the army, which closed down the Congress, banned political parties, dissolved the Supreme Court, and arrested thousands of political activists including former ministers. In the cases of both Chile and Argentina, the British Foreign Office and leading ambassadorial staff – despite theoretical commitments to democracy – recommended recognition of the military juntas established and downplayed reports of human rights infringements. Grace Livingstone attributes this to the class basis of the personnel involved. She states that, in 1950, 83% of Foreign Office recruits attended private schools and the figure was still 68% ten years later. In 1980, 80% of ambassadors and top Foreign Office officials had attended fee­paying schools.

Moreover, the development of social movements other than the working class after the 1960s further sidelined traditional parties. The anti-capitalist movements in the 1970s and 1980s were looking for new political formations.

    Revolutionary Principles and Working-Class Democracy Thu, 13/12/12 21:56 I The Cannon Tradition: “Don’t Strangle the Party!” 1. DON’T TRY TO ENFORCE A NONEXISTENT LAW 2. REASONS FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE SWP AND FOR ITS NEW VITALITY IN THE 1960s 3. A TREND IN THE WRONG DIRECTION 4. THE SWP’S GREAT TRADITION Introduction by George Breitman On April 8, 1983, a membership meeting of the Bay Area District of the Socialist Workers Party (from branches in San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose) was held in San Jose to hear a report on the latest three in a series of expulsions being engineered by the SWP “central leadership team” headed by Jack Barnes. During the discussion period, Asher Harer, a veteran party member from San Francisco, made some comments about the newly announced “organizational norm” prohibiting SWP members from communicating with members of other branches under pain of expulsion. Harer said that if James P. Cannon, the principal founder of the SWP, were alive today, he could not exist in the SWP. Cannon often communicated directly with members in other branches, on all sorts of questions, and Harer said he had a file of Cannon letters to prove it. Harer was answered by Clifton DeBerry, a member of the national Control Commission, a former member of the National Committee, and a former presidential candidate, who said: “If James P Cannon wrote such letters today, he would be expelled.” DeBerry added that the SWP is a “more disciplined” party today than in Cannon’s time.

  • The Role of the Trotskyists in the United Auto Workers, 1939- 1949
    The Role of the Trotskyists in the United Auto Workers, 1939- 1949 Victor G. Devinatz Willie Thompson has acknowledged in his survey of the history of the world- wide left, The Left in History: Revolution and Reform in Twentieth-Century Politics, that the Trotskyists "occasionally achieved some marginal industrial influence" in the US trade unions.' However, outside of the Trotskyists' role in the Teamsters Union in Minneapolis and unlike the role of the Communist Party (CP) in the US labor movement that has been well-documented in numerous books and articles, little of a systematic nature has been written about Trotskyist activity in the US trade union movement.' This article's goal is to begin to bridge a gap in the historical record left by other historians of labor and radical movements, by examining the role of the two wings of US Trotskyism, repre- sented by the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and the Workers Party (WP), in the United Auto Workers (UAW) from 1939 to 1949. In spite of these two groups' relatively small numbers within the auto workers' union and although neither the SWP nor the WP was particularly suc- cessful in recruiting auto workers to their organizations, the Trotskyists played an active role in the UAW as leading individuals and activists, and as an organ- ized left presence in opposition to the larger and more powerful CP. In addi- tion, these Trotskyists were able to exert an influence that was significant at times, beyond their small membership with respect to vital issues confronting the UAW. At various times throughout the 1940s, for example, these trade unionists were skillful in mobilizing auto unionists in opposition to both the no- strike pledge during World War 11, and the Taft-Hartley bill in the postwar peri- od.

  • Bio-Bibliographical Sketch of Martin Abern
    Lubitz' TrotskyanaNet Martin Abern Bio-Bibliographical Sketch Contents: • Basic biographical data • Biographical sketch • Selective bibliography • Notes on archives Basic biographical data Name: Martin Abern Other names (by-names, pseud. etc.): Marty Abern ; Martin Abramowitz ; Henry Allen ; Harry Allen ; Harry Stone Date and place of birth: December 2, 1898, ? (Romania) Date and place of death: April ?, 1949, ?, USA Nationality: Romanian ; USA Occupations, careers, etc.: Party organizer Time of activity in Trotskyist movement: 1928 - ca. 1946 Biographical sketch There are only a few general biographical notes about Martin Abern, listed in the bibliography below. Our short sketch is chiefly based upon Glotzer, Albert: Abern, Martin (1898-1949), in: Biographical dictionary of the Ame­ rican Left, ed. by Bernard K. Johnpoll and Harvey Klehr, New York, NY, [etc.], 1986, pp. 1-2. Martin Abramowitz was born in Bessarabia, the eastern part of Romania, on December 2, 1898 as a son of Jewish parents. In 1902 the family emigrated to the United States, settled in Minneapolis, Min­ nesota, became naturalized and assumed the name Abern. In Minneapolis Martin Abern attended both elementary and high school before enrolling at the University of Minnesota in 1914 where he was tolerated as a campus radical only because he was a star of the university's football team. After the United States had entered World War I, Abern was expelled from Minnesota University because he had refused the draft and was sentenced to a six-month prison term. Having joined the ranks of the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World)1 and of the YPSL (Young People's Socialist League, the youth section of the SP, Socialist Party) already at an early age, Abern together with the entire left wing of the SP and YPSL left the Socialist Party in 1919 and in face of the Bolshevik Russian revolution and of the launching of the Comintern (Communist International) be­ came a founding member of the American communist movement2.
