Abstract

"We Want a United Front"
Broun, Heywood | December 11, 1935 issue

add to cart   close window

A magnificent opportunity was mislaid in Madison Square Garden when U.S. Communist party leader Earl Browder and socialist Norman Thomas met in debate. It was not precisely lost, for at least one step was taken- toward a united front. On the other hand, it would have been possible with the numbers and with the undercurrent mood actually to have achieved a working basis for cooperation then and there. If the author is told that things cannot be done that fast, my answer is that they must be if any effective fighting front against fascism is to be organized. The risks of a divided liberal and radical front are so obvious that he cannot see why a few chances should not be taken for the cause of unity.
