  • Alexander L. Trachtenberg and International Publishers, 1906-1966 David A
    Radical Publishing to "Reach the Million Masses": Alexander L. Trachtenberg and International Publishers, 1906-1966 David A. Lincove On 21 June 195 1 the New York Emes published several detailed stories about the FBI's arrest of American communists accused of violating the Smith Act, a 1940 federal statute that made it a crime to advocate, teach, organize, or help to organize the overthrow of the US government by means of force and vio- lence.' Among them was Alexander Leo Trachtenberg, part owner and opera- tor of International Publishers, a New York publishing house specializing in Marxist-Leninist books and pamphlets. After openly operating his publishing fm for 27 years, he now had to defend himself against the charge of publish- ing, circulating, and promoting books, articles, magazines, and newspapers that taught and advocated the violent overthrow of the US g~vernment.~ International Publishers contributed to the tremendous increase of propaganda and radical literature in the United States in the decades following World War I when fascist and communist regimes in Europe used the mass media to export ideas that competed with the democratic and capitalist foundation in the United States. Trachtenberg faced years of court battles and three months in prison before his convictions would be overturned; but instead of focusing on his legal struggles, this article examines his background and the operation of International Publishers from 1924 until his retirement in 1962. The case of Alexander Trachtenberg illustrates how a refugee from Russia became a leader in the Communist Party of the United States (CPUS) and established a disci- plined, mass publication program to support the party's program for revolu- tionary socialism.

At the outset it is important to note the restrictions which must neces- sarily govern the use of this Report. The writer faced the choice between a more general study which might be used extensively, and a detailed analy- sis which names names. The latter alternative was chosen as being the more j valuable to the sponsors of the survey. Accordingly, instead of confin- ing the reporting to material which is generally available to the public, the author used accurate but confidential sources. The usefulness of these * sources would cease if their names and positions were revealed. This is particularly true i»^en__the ultimate source is a well-placed member of the Communist Party. " " " !—• ----- ' • ,1 Because of the accuracy of the sources, it is often possible to 1/ name definitely as Communists individuals who would publicly deny their jj affiliation. The publication of such names would certainly lead to a challenge to produce proof and possibly to a libel suit.
