First Edition. <br /><br />Small Quarto 10 7/8 x 9 1/4 inches; 275 x 235 mm 124 pages in illustrated boards. <br /><br />A collection of anti-Hitler and anti-U.S. cartoons by the great Soviet cartoonist Boris Efimov 1900-2008 whose name is rendered in Czech as Boris Jefimova. The anthology starts in the 1930s with the rise of Hitler and carries forward to the late 1940s attacking the Marshall Plan Wall Street fat cats the Western alliance and the U.S. position in Korea.<br /><br />By contrast and not surprisingly the Soviet Union is portrayed heroically having single-handedly defeated Hitler. Given the preponderance of Wall Street financiers in the cartoons Wall Street appears to be behind Western imperialism and belligerence and even abetted the rise of Hitler. The book opens with a quote from "J. Stalin" and contains 60 cartoons mostly in black-and-white but some containing deep red representing of course the supposed nobility of the Soviet Union and its allies. <br /><br />Copies of this Czech-language book are uncommon. OCLC lists just three institutional holdings: the College of William and Mary the National Library of the Czech Republic and the University of Leipzig. <br /><br />A very good striking example of Czech-Russian agitprop during the dark days of the Cold War. <b>SCARCE</b>. <br /><br />CONDITION: Light soiling and wear to the boards but the pages are clean and bright.

"The 'labor' leaders travel through the country in the grandest style stop at the 'swellest' hotels--often as not manned with non-union labor.

The first part of the letter details Molly Pritt's thanks for various articles of clothing sent to her by Pineles and others due to the shortages in post-war Britain. Especially "the problem of shoes for women and growing childrenwhich were such a comfort to me in Russia and indeed here" She writes of her husband N.P. Pritt's trip to the U.S. and the kindness of Pineles and her husband during his tour. She looks forward to accompanying him on a return journey and "I believe I could be very useful.During the war when I was vice chairman under the Dean of The Joint Committee for Soviet Aid I addressed literally thousands of meetings in all parts of the countryin huge ordnance factories town halls womens organisations and so on and even at a big boxing match 7000 people in the Albert Hall here! So I am quite an expert with all types of audiences. I am still at it of course since my visit to the Soviet Union last year when I received the decoration given me by the Supreme Soviet for my workI find audiences now rather like they were at the beginning of the waranxious for news of Russiaanxious to have their fears dispelledfear inculcated by the press of courseRobin Page Arnot 1890-1986 British political activist and historian foundation member of the CP Great Britain came to lunch yesterday.Now I must go out into the dark to tackle a housing problem of some of my husbands constituentsThey each came to ask my husbands advice about itand he suggested I should go and inspect and see if I could offer any solutionwhat a job!!

Denis Nowell Pritt 1887-1972 British lawyer and political activist "one of Britain's sturdiest fellow-travellers Pritt's legal talents were rapidly harnessed for a variety of progressive causes if incorrigible as a Stalinist he should be remembered too for diverting his career from more lucrative legal pastures to a mostly exemplary body of work for the labour and anti-colonial movements. If his plaudits from the people's democracies were fulsome he also knew the less pleasant experience of professional and social ostracism at home. His wife less political than her husband apparently found their moments of isolation especially trying." Kevin Morgan in the ODNB Pritt's wife Marie Frances Mollie Gough 1895-1999 whose influence and impact is minimized in the biographies and relegated to a supportive role to her husband's activities was much more significantly involved as this letter proves. Her activities were certainly as dedicated to their cause as her more famously-documented husband. . Typed Letter Signed. Not Bound. Very Good. Not Published paperback books‎

‎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.

‎The Workers School‎

‎Fall Term Announcement of Courses September 24 to December 15 1934‎

‎New York: The Workers School 1934. <br /><br />Octavo-sized pamphlet measuring 8 7/8 x 6 inches 225 x 152 mm 16 pages in stapled printed wrappers. Laid in is a slightly smaller handbill printed recto only. <br /><br />A pamphlet listing courses available during the Fall 1934 term at the Workers School in New York which was operated by the Communist Party USA. The school offered a staggering number of evening courses in various aspects of Marxism-Leninism economics and history all from the Party's standpoint. The school located at 35 East 12th Street in Manhattan was one of many Workers Schools that the Party operated around the country. That building now consists of co-op apartments that sell for millions of dollars unaffordable by any proletarians. <br /><br />There were also courses in English and Russian along with "special courses" such as "Problems of the Negro Liberation Movement" taught by James W. Ford the CPUSA's candidate for Vice President in the three elections from 1932-1940. Another special course was "Revolutionary Interpretation of Modern Literature" taught by staff members of New Masses magazine including Mike Gold and Joseph Freeman. <br /><br />Tuition for each course was $3. The school emphasized that it wasn't an academic institution and that it "participates in all the current struggles of the working class" including strikes and demonstrations. Nonetheless it was clearly no-nonsense. In a section on attendance the pamphlet states: "Classes begin promptly at the hour set. Regular and punctual attendance is required.

Foster in Los Angeles a little more than a month after Germany invaded the Soviet Union.

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.

He further states that he was given no opportunity to defend himself during a "trial" by the party's national board.<br /><br />As far as Communists go Browder 1891-1973 was actually fairly moderate compared with his left-wing nemesis William Z.

‎Socialism Means the Abolition of Family Life‎

‎London: Liberty and Property Defence League ca. 1901-05. First Edition. <br /><br />Unbound pamphlet 8 x 5 1/4 inches 205 x 132 mm 4 pages.<br /><br />A wonderfully lurid warning against socialism by a British organization devoted to laissez-faire economics. The anonymous author suggests that socialism would lead to the breakup of families.<br /><br />"There would be no such place as home under socialism" the author writes. "Everyone would live in the State barracks. There would be no breakfasts dinners or teas with one's family at one's own table as in the first place meals in private would not be permitted as it would be against the socialist idea of equality.In other words everybody when hungry would be reduced to the necessity of repairing to the common swine-trough and eating the hogwash the State had placed therein. No roast beef turkey and plum pudding no smiling faces of children and friends around the table on Christmas Day. Indeed there would not be any Christmas Day under socialism." <br /><br />This pamphlet carries no publication date but it appears to have been issued sometime between 1901 and 1905. It refers to "the late Mr. Oscar Wilde" who died in late 1900. In 1906 the Liberty and Property Defence League issued a book "Socialism: Its Fallacies and Dangers" which included the text of this pamphlet. <br /><br />OCLC lists 7 institutional holdings: Syracuse Stanford Amherst Harvard Michigan Texas and Wisconsin Historical Society.
