About This Item
San Francisco: Educational Committee, San Francisco Communist Party, N.d. [ca 1937]. First Edition. Corner-stapled mimeographed typescript, 36cm x 22cm; 6pp (printed recto-only). Toning, corner creases and general wear; still a complete, Good or better example. Dated from text. Rather remarkable Popular Front document, prepared by Manuilsky as Deputy General Secretary of the Comintern and clearly oriented toward American Party members, as the majority of the text deals with the resurgent economic crisis in the U.S. Though the title of the paper might suggest a style sheet or compositional outline, the document in fact is a list of rather explicit instructions to American Party members on how to interpret contemporary world events in the light of current Soviet doctrine, the general upshot being that the American economic crisis, the rise of European fascism, revolution in China and the increasing militancy of the Japanese are all symptoms of the collapse of capitalism and the "... growing resistance of the working class and the toiling masses against the onslaught of the fascist powers!" Evidence of Moscow's direct influence on the CPUSA during this period is hardly necessary to prove a point, but this document provides a neat example of precisely how that influence was directed and executed. Unrecorded in this format, though a similar document was published in Los Angeles in 1946 (per OCLC); this printing clearly much earlier based on text.
