Williams, Wheeler, E. Merrill Root, et al.
Minutes of a Communist Cell on Art: Anonymous but Believed Unquestionably Authentic by Competent Authorities Reveals the Party's Tactic re: "Modern Art" Cover Title
Fullerton California: Education Information Inc. 1960. First Edition. <br /><br />Small Quarto 10 5/8 x 8 1/4 inches; 271 x 212 mm 21 pages in stapled illustrated wrappers <br /><br />A "second report on modern art" issued by Education Information Inc. an Orange County California anti-communist outfit. The main highlight: the purported minutes of a Communist cell comprising artists and writers: "PROGRAM: Remove all inspiring and beautiful art from all exhibits and substitute degenerate art in its place.Keep rational art out of all public exhibits -- allow only empty or distorted art to be shown in museums dealers' exhibits.Tie junk together and set it up as sculpture." <br /><br />There's plenty more in this vein. The woman who took these notes -- "a friend of truth and decency" -- supposedly mailed them to the right-wing sculptor Wheeler Williams who was active in anticommunist politics. Williams provides a Foreword to the notes saying he believes they're authentic. He says he shared the notes with colleagues and some former FBI undercover agents all of whom apparently believe the notes are genuine. <br /><br />Also in this pamphlet are articles on "subversion in art" lengthy excerpts from Williams's testimony to Congress on the Soviet uses of art and a piece by E. Merrill Root on conservative philosophy. <br /><br />This pamphlet is scarce. OCLC records around a dozen institutional holdings. <b>SCARCE</b>. <br /><br />CONDITION: Vertical fold throughout original mailing label and partially removed tape to lower wrapper extremities worn from handling staples a bit rusted. Otherwise Very Good. Education Information, Inc.

Robeson, Paul, WEB. Du Bois, and Roscoe Dungee W. E.
To the President and Congress of the United States of America Petition and Typed Signed Letter Bearing Signatures of Robeson Du Bois and Dungee.
<p>Robeson Paul W.E.B. Du Bois and Roscoe Dungee.</p><p>To the President and Congress of the United States of America Petition and Typed Letter Bearing Signatures of Robeson Du Bois and Dungee. New York: Communist Party USA 1947.</p><p><br />Single-page typed letter and two-page petition printed on rectos only. Each page 8 1/2 x 11 inches 215 x 280 mm.</p><p>A rare typed letter bearing signatures of Paul Robeson W.E.B. Du Bois and Roscoe Dungee asking recipients to sign a petition against banning the Communist Party USA. <strong>We believe the signatures were printed as does an autograph expert we consulted.</strong></p><p>In any case the three African-American leaders sprang into action after President Truman's Labor Secretary Lewis B. Schwellenbach told Congress that the Communist Party should be outlawed. Schwellenbach was concerned about Communist control and infiltration of labor unions and thought no Communist should be allowed to lead a union.</p><p>The letter is dated March 22 1947 and carries the address of 23 West 26th Street New York the Communist Party's headquarters at the time. The letter is aimed at African-American recipients: "This invitation to sign the petition is also being sent to several hundred other Negro leaders throughout the country."</p><p>According to the letter "It is clear that Labor Secretary Schwellenbach's proposal to suppress the Communist Party involves a flagrant negation of our constitutional Bill of Rights. It represents therefore a serious threat to the civil liberties of all minority groups." The authors urge recipients to mail back a postal reply card confirming they would sign the petition. The card is not present probably because it was mailed back to the Communist Party.</p><p>The petition which is also rare is addressed to the President and Congress urging them to reject Schwellenbach's "fascist-like proposal" to ban the Communist Party. The Party was not banned but the government regularly harassed and imprisoned its leaders in the 1940s and '50s.</p><p>Even though we believe the signatures on the letter were printed these materials are nonetheless rare. We have not found any institutional holdings of the letter or petition. None in commerce.</p><p>CONDITION: Pages lightly creased for mailing staple on petition badly rusted. A Very Good set. <strong>RARE</strong>.</p> [Communist Party USA]

West Haven Connecticut: Foundation for Promoting Enduring Peace 1952. No Edition Stated.<br /><br />Single sheet folded to create 4 pages each measuring 11 x 8 1/2 inches 279 x 216 mm. <br /><br />Rare leaflet on U.S.-Soviet relations from a Christian Left perspective. The author pleads for better understanding of Russian history arguing that the country has made great strides since the October Revolution.

May Day vs. Labor Day: A Comparison of the Social Significance of the Two Days of Labor Celebration
New York: New York Labor News Company 1936. First Edition. 12mo 7 1/4 x 5 inches; 183 x 126 mm 40 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /> <br />A spirited -- rollicking even! -- essay with attacks on "fakers" "impostors" "swindlers" and other enemies of the working class. <br /> <br />May Day is the true holiday of the proletariat the author says while Labor Day in the U.S. is fake because it "sticks to the hollow pretense of a brotherhood between capital and labor." <br /> <br />Issued by the radical Socialist Labor Party the pamphlet argues that American labor leaders have eagerly embraced the capitalist class. "The 'labor' leaders travel through the country in the grandest style stop at the 'swellest' hotels--often as not manned with non-union labor. Where they go liquor flows expensively and plentifully--sometimes swinishly." page 30 <br /> <br />The author Olive M. Johnson 1872-1954 was a longtime activist editor and pamphleteer for the Socialist Labor Party. <br /> <br />This pamphlet is peak agit-prop.

Communist Party, USA. U. S.
A People's Program for the Defeat of Hitlerism
Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Communist Party n.d. 1941. No edition stated. <br /><br />Single sheet of newsprint folded to create four pages of approximately 8 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches 211 x 266 mm. <br /><br />Rare announcement of a speech by Communist Party Chairman William Z. Foster in Los Angeles a little more than a month after Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The announcement appears at the beginning of a text in which the Party calls for the U.S. to spare no effort in defeating Germany: "There can be no peace for the peoples of the world without the complete destruction of Hitler and Hitlerism. Hitler fascism stands exposed as the greatest and main enemy of the peoples of the world."<br /><br />Prior to Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union the Communist Party strongly opposed U.S. involvement in World War II maintaining that the fight between Germany and Britain was an imperialist war. Obviously that policy changed 180 degrees following the German invasion of the USSR. <br /><br />An interesting look at how the Communist Party's position drastically shifted after the German invasion of the Soviet Union. <br /><br />No institutional copies found in OCLC. None in commerce in February 2022. <b>RARE.</b><br /><br />CONDITION: Evenly toned pencil notation at top left corner of cover page couple small closed tears. Horizontal fold probably due to mailing.
