HERALD PURE DICTION . seiethcalalinosin Sir Philip Ben Greet and his brilliant cast of English players are to give a performance of Twelfth Night in Good- hart on Friday, April 17. After the suc- cess of their 1929-30 transcontinental tour, the company has rettirned again this year, .adding Macbeth, As You Like It and Hamlet (second quarto) to Twelfth Night, Everyman and Hamlet — (first quarto ). These Shakespearean productions have set the standard both in England and in America, for Sir Philip, who has been on the stage for fifty years and has taught more actors than, any living man, is! world-famous as one of the greatest living authorities on the English drama. The plays are presented in the true Eliza- bethan manner, modified only by the use of richer and more elaborate ¢ hangings thati‘were originally used. The simplicity of his productions, based. on the that. “the stage should stimulate and in- spire rather than relieve the imagination,” together with the skill-of the actors: in} the art of speaking words, keep intact the significance ofthe plays. theory Sir Philip. has been widely recogtixed.

PARLIAMENT MUST FILL ECONOMIC NEEDS OR FAIL The MaNory Whiting Webster Me- morial Lecture in History was given this year by Professor Harold J. Laski, Professor of Political Science at the University of London, Labour Member of Parliament, and author of many books on Political Economy. Speaking on “The Future of Parlia- mentary Government in England,” Mr. Laski found the chief defect of the present system to be the almost com- plete subjection of Parliament to a small and autocratic group of ministers, and the only solution, without revolu- tion, a shift to socialistic standards. “A hundred years ago the House of Commons-—was—the..centre “of all that was essential to national life; discus- sion there illumined national thought,” although, as Bagehot said in 1867, “The only cure for admiration for the House of Lords is to go look at it.” There is today no need for a second chamber which under a Conservative govern- ment is sOmnambulent, and, under a Liberal. government, furious. The Commens have lost the initia- tive in legislation, perident upon the Cabinet chosen from their ranks. Daily discussion is not of great importance, for if a question is too vital, the minister concerned de- clares it not‘for public view.- The independence of the private member is gone, and he is now a unit in a voting system; he thinks party voting is essential to prevent dissolution. “The main—deci- sions lie outside the Commons, witness the brief debates and little questioning of the results of the Imperial Confer- ence of this year, of the Indian Con- ference which was the most momentous event-since peace, he cannot vote as because or of.the Palestine Russian Facts Shown By Maurice Hindus Private Property, Religion and the Family Considered Soviet Enemies.

Finally, the pressure of business is so great as to curtail the governmental activities - of the members. Because of this, there -has been a great and desirable growth of dele- gated legislation. In the nineteenth century, every law was settled in detail in regular session; now the govern- |ment passes a number of statutes, and the departments can supply the suit- able details. The effective organ of government has passed from the House of ‘Commons “to the departments of state, and the main ‘reason for this is economic. England is no longer the richest nation, her ruling class no longer so firmly established that con- cessions will not alter the central bal- ance of power. Economic supremacy is gone,.and party quarrels are now based not on problems of liberty but < f d and are totally de- ‘de: equality. “We have now,” deqlared Mr. Laski, “grave economic questions, but the possibility of solving them on the floor of the Commons is small. * Without drastic changes, will drift into a Fascist or a Communist dictatorship, and the latter as the outcome European war. we of a Assuming the hypothesis that Me- Donald will be defeated and” Baldwin will come .back and reconstruct the House of Lords on the lines of the pro- posals of 1925, a Labour government would be unable to carry any legisla- tion, and a governmental deadlock would ensue.

The editorial of the News of October 29 particularly asked that no changes be made in the rules for returning books, and the fifty-three students whose vote on the subject was recorded in the News of February 18 voted with the explicit under- standing that the rules concerning books should remain unchanged. The advantage sought was that of a quiet spot for Sunday mornings—a desire whose satisfaction in no way involves the further circulation of books. _____ There is a great difference between the expected terms and those -finally secured. It-is possible that many students-would-prefet thatthe library remain closed if its opening must involve forfeit of the old privi- leges. The student point of view stressed only peace and quiet. The studénts may find, however, that the value of peace and quiet is too small to compensate for this unheralded restriction, whose necessity is not demonstrated. A Plea From Those Who Pull Them Suspense is a glorious institution, but we really can’t believe that the Bryn Mawr Faculty has never heard the saying that “There is a time and a place for everything.” We only wish that all the agonies of quizzes were confined to the one or two tortuous weeks -set, aside for them, but no! Days pass after the deed is done before we learn how we did it. We slink down back alleys, and, incidentally, use up all our cuts, only appear- ing at intervals to learn the worst. But even as we appear so the Faculty disappears, quizz books.clutched under arms; and no marks are forthcom- ing. We can’t help wondering whether some less absent-minded professor has happened upon the book of “‘Boners,” and has noted that’ fatal post- script “Readers of this book are invited to submit other authentic Howl- ers taken from classrooms and examination papers.” We wonder, and yet we are sure that any Boner which it requires three weeks to find is rather far-fetched. And besides we don’t aim, in a quizz paper, to match our humor with that of the Washington High School, Milwaukee, Wis- consin; we aim to please our professors, and whether or not we have a good eye we think suspense is out of place when for three solid weeks it separates our best efforts from our just desserts. ‘Applause The News, once again under a new administration, feels no neces- sity to affirm the continuity of its tradition. It has emerged, week after week, for sixteen years under efficient and capable editorship, to record the events and ideas offered in college life and to furnish ideas of its own. Occasionally the right of the News to existence has been questioned on the ground that it has held itself aloof from student activity and opinion. We object to this criticism as unjust. The News has always offered its columns as a forum for individual or group discussions and by its com- ments-and criticisms has voiced what it felt to be the views of the student - body as a whole. The News has been especially fortunate in the vigor of its adminis- tration during the past year. The Editor-in-Chief worked constantly e goal—to gain official recognition of the causes the News champiots through the media of editorials or communications. Her suc- cess in this was complete, and she has left to the present Editorial Board the opportunity to férmulate-and implement active opinion as well as reg- ister it. We can only attempt to use this responsibility carefully and wisely, and with full_realization.of. the debt we owe for it to our retiring v Bryn Mawr Sheds No Light on Duke’s Coed Problem A delegation of four girls from Duke University visited Bryn Mawr last Friday night and Saturday.

Editorial The last two student members of the original News Board, Mary G. Branson, 16, and Fredrika Kellogg, ’16, retired with the last issue. Just before com- mencement these two, with Miss Apple- bee, planned to start a weekly paper the next year. They felt that because of the general indifference toward college ac- tivities and the consequent scattered and divided interest, some unifying factor was necessary. The question of a weekly paper had already been discussed by the whole college’ and had been generally condemned, so a further plan was—sug- gested that if this. weekly paper failed, they should at least get out a bulletin of , Athletic and Christian Association news. Isabel Foster, ’15, and Adrienne Kenyon, 15, had also decided to start a paper so these two groups combined. To stress. the interest in the Athletic and Christian Associations, they asked Ruth Tinker, 15, president of the Christian Associa- tion, and Isolde Zwecker, "15; president of the Athletic Association, to be on the board. The immediate success of ‘the News proved the need of such an organ. _The next great question was the choice of a name for the paper. Remembering the “Harvard Crimson,” some one sug~ gested the “Bryn Mawr Yellow,” but this was immediately suppressed for obvious reasons. When they had finally tri- umphantly agreed on the innocuous “The College News”, a paper frome a_ sister college said that it was just like Bryn Mawr to call its wdekly, The College News.

Norman Thomas. in “America’s Way Out” has explained the whole Socialistic doctrine “and its exact relation to the twentieth century world. He exposes, more clearly than most of us have figured out for ourselves, the construction of our capitalistic civiliza- tion and the evils it causes. He.traces the growth of Socialism, through Marx- planation of Russian Communism, at ‘the same time showing -why. Communism is not the answer to the American problem. Contrary’ to the ‘Communistic idea, war is only..possible, not inevitable;.and if it will not bring salvation. Democracy, in spite of its faults, is the best form of government; and Socialism is the best hope. of curing those faults. As proof Mr. Thomas gives the phi- losophy of Socialism and applies it to our political theory, our labor and eco- nomic problems, to the individual, and to. internationalism. He is full of optimism, | for he believes that our troubles lie, not in the new power: of this so-called “ma- chine age,’ but in our. misuse of that power. Socialism is the corrective for tlvis- misuse, ‘“‘a philosophy adequate to our times—in litle with immediate needs.” | Three hundrgd pages is a very small space to enfoJA such a vast subject.

Every local government should have the power to do exactly as it likes eéx- cept in national affairs. This change, apart from the creativeness it would give the local government, would save Parliament twenty-eight’ days a year: Finally, our legislature is.a territorial one, and it is difficult to obtain proper proportionality between trades and pro- fessions, so that an industrial Parlia- ment would be impossible. It would be difficult to build industrial assem- _blies, but the House of Commons is not a place for discussion of their _ problems. The centre of ‘industry should be in industry, and the creation of appropriate institutions is funda- mental. . “Success or failure depends upon three. things outside Parliament’s power,” stmmarized Mr. Laski., They are: first, the solving in a democratic society of the problem of the press, and the supplying of truthful and au- thentic news. Secondly, Parliament will operate only where approximate economic equality exists. Constitu- tional government on one side arid eco- nomic autocracy on the other is too flagrant to continue. Unless Parlia- ment can show the capacity to move toward the satisfaction of economic de- sires and needs, it will fail.’ Finally, there is the need of international peace. “But, we must admit that,.were_ the February ‘Disarmament Conference to fail, we would be nearer war than at any time since 1914. The outbreak of war would be lead to a general strike tantamount to revolution, leaving ne, —element—_of—_the—present Parliament standing. “We need inventiveness*more profoundly than ever before. The old traditions have used themselves up, and the time has come for new thought which. will lead to the establishment _of ~a free’ democracy, for only in a free democracy can the soul of man reach its largest fulfillment.” Following the formal lecture, Mr. Laski replied to questions bearing on recent practical conditions in. British politics. The new electoral reform which provides for alternative choice and, voting by preference he believes will whittle down the danger of a’ gov- ernment having a majority out of pro- portion to the votes it polled. It also provides for reduction of campaign expenses to fourpence a vote, but was defeated in seeking abdlition of. the university representation. As to the alignment of parties, he prophesies that the Conservatives will go on without serious split, that ‘only a handful of disturbing Liberals will remain in fifteen years, and that the future of the Labour party depends on how quickly it goes out of power. If it continues in power under McDonald, party quarrels will result, and he will be left with a handful of distinguished intellectuals. If he is defeated, the party will come in again under Arthur Henderson, who can reintegrate it. In conclusion, Mr. Laski does not expect to see tariff reform made a major issue by Labour, despite the fact that the majority of the party are bitter free traders, as he is himself, because industrial feeling in the North is very strong for restriction, and also because, should Baldwin return, as he undoubt- edly will, special relations will be set up with the Dominions in the next -dress—her as“ Imperial Conference, so that Labour delegates will be compelled to fall in line. Mr. Laski.-is. the sixth.historian to lecture at Bryn Mawr on the Mallory Whiting Webster Memorial Founda- tion. Professor Conyers Bead, of Chi- cago University, opened the series in 1926 with the subject of “Good Queen Bess.” Professor Michael Ivanovich Rostovtzeh, of Yale, spoke on.“Mystic Pompeii’ in 1927; Professor T. F. Tout, Historian, of Mediaeval Eng- land, on “Mediaeval Women” in 1928; Dr. Charles .McLean Andrews, of Yale, and sometime of Bryn Mawr, on “Our Colonial History” in 1929, and Miss Eileen Power on “Mediaeval Ideas About Women,” last year. Halide Edib, Foremost Turkish Woman, to Speak Halide Edib, who is probably Turkey's foremost woman, will deliver a lecture in Goodhart on Wednesday, the 22d, on “Turkey Faces West.” She is visiting lecturer on Intellectual Trends in Turkish History at Barnard. But this is but one of her roles: she is novelist, sociolo- gist, nationalist, dramatist, in addition to orator and educator. Her life would pro- vide material for more than one novel. ‘During ‘the upheaval in Turkey she escaped across Turkey in winter, journey- ing from Constantinople to Angora.

She and her husband found it im- possible to remain in Turkey. Madame Halide has an especial interest in America. She was the first Moslem girl to take a Bachelor of Arts degree from the American College for :Girls in Constantinople. She showed her faith in Americans when, as a result of her first husband’s taking a second wife in 1910, she left the harem from which, through her writings (print had become the For BOOKS GO TO SESSLER’S 1310 WALNUT STREET, - PHILADELPHIA THE BRYN MAWR TRUST CO.

Madamé Halide, according to the Newark Evening News, “speaks English flugntly, with a charming accent” and “elegant selection of vocabulary.” Of her personality it has been said (Worcester Telegram) that “she seems to embody, in her tiny person, all those attributes of idealism and of pacifism, of self-expres- sion and of individualism for which the women of the new Turkey are seeking.” Angna Enters Gives Program of Dances Continued from Page One ‘Flemish painting and cathedral altars; the contained fury of the Borgia in “Pavana,” andthe green and azure- robed “Queen of Heaven” carrying the legendary rose of medieval France. These are beautiful in color and grace, but there is still an absolute simplicity where Miss Enters’ power of suggeés- tion takes the place of impressionistic effect. ‘More than anything else it is the art of the monologuist. Each dance is Miss Enters’ own composition with a background of appropriate music. She possesses that rare power with which Ruth Draper has hypnotized the courts and theatres of the world, the power of making the audience see many people on the stage when there is only one there.

Juniors Mount Vernon, Iowa.—A small group of high school ‘students of exceptional scholastic ability who have completed three years of high.school work are to be entered in €ornell College September, 1931, as fully classified freshmen in a project being ‘carried on by the North Central Association of Colleges and Sec- ondary Schools. The project is an at- tempt to accelerate the progress of the +-gifted-student-by-saving one year in the traditional eight years of secondary school and college work in order that the student may have more time for an ex- Apri 15, 1931 tensive education in a profession. An- nouncement of the project was made recently by Dr. H. J. Burgstahler, presi- dent of Cornell College. Interested students who rank in the ‘upper oné-fourth of their classes ‘may make application for consideration. From this number as many as twenty or twenty-five students may be accepted finally as members of the group. The final selection will' be based on: (1) a battery of tests, including tests over the content of high school courses, tests of special scholastic aptitude, a silent read- ing test, a psychological examination and a personality schedule; (2) rating on traits included in regular admission blanks ‘sent out by the office of admis- sions to all students making application for admission to the college; (3) esti- mates of the student’s social maturity by those who know him intimately. Approval of the North Central Asso- ciation means that Cornell credits earned by these gifted students. who may not have presented the conventional high school certification of 15 units of work, will be fully accepted on the same basis ‘pas those presented by any Cornell stu-— 1 dent tranferring’ to the undergraduate or | graduate colleges of institutions accred-~ ied by this association. —N.

In the plenary ses- sion the majority report, to adopt the Draft Treaty and bring up the German reservations for later discussion was accepted. Germany refrained from voting, showing her desire to draft a more liberal treaty along the lines laid out in the Covenant. _ Poland Leaves League In the discussion on the Polish Cor- ridor, Poland was intransigent, refus- ing to consider any change in the status quo. ° It was first voted to return Danzig to Germany, and the Polish delegation replied by leaving the.com- mittee and the League. reconsideration Danzig was returned to its previous situation under Polish eco- nomic and political control, Germany joined France in a compromise agree- ment by which certain Polish posses- sions were to be internationalized and Germany gave up most of her claims on Polish territory. This. agreement, submitted to the plenary session as the majority report, was rejected. by Poland and_the Little: Entente. Much of the work attempted and accomplished was vitally interesting, * and the discussions were often capable and vigorous. There was a ‘tendency in some instances however toward quibbling and. arguing on very minor points of order which impeded the progress and interest of the debates. Mr. James G. McDonald, speaking at lunch on March 27 .and again at. the banquet on the following evening, pointed out these and other faults in the procedure of the Model Assembly When on a of Alexander Hall and demanded the -privilege of speech..

Paul Hazard Quotes B. M. Correspondence _ Continued from Preceding Issue Ecoutons cette, autre voix, qui est touchante; celle de miss Mignon ‘Sherley. D’une part, elle proclame une dette, avec gratitude, avec affection. “La France est devenue pour moi une seconde patrie,” dit-elle ;. “la France est devenue pour moi une’ partie réelle de cette complexité d’ame qui cause a la fois l’intérét et le maJheur de la vie intérieure et psytholo- gique de nous autres, modernes.” Rich- esse intérieure, complexité, variété dans l'unité; voila la France. Et chaque Frangais semble porter en lui-méme le souvenir de. l’évolution historique de son pays ;.son ame est lourde de.tout le passe. “La France est comme une de ses cathé- drales marveilleuses ; l’unité de construc- tion est la; mais aussi tout'le détail ex- }quis.”° On n’a qu’a chercher pour trou- ver, en France. Si- on aime la vie trépidante, frémissante, on a Paris.” Si vous aimez la terre, allez en provine n’importe ot, Lorraine, Ile de France, Bourgogne ‘ou pays ‘de la ‘Loire...

Que ce me si chargé d’expérience et d’années, si ‘riche de culture intellectuelle, si sensible, ne dédaigne pas les ames plus neuves qui s'adressent a lui!

L’observation, le judg- ment, la critique sont provoqués, et le sentiment s’émeut a son tour.

Quand je regardais. les champs, le matin, tout frais et riants. -eemamnemnae Page & ae ne nr et fortes. On voudrait les essai tout au long, ces confessions réfléchies; qu'il me soit permis d’en citer une encore, qui n’est pas la moins remarquable, et qui se distingue par 1a fermeté de son accent. “Comme Ameéricaine,, dit miss Sylvia Markley, ce qui m’a frappé le plus en France, c'est le contraste .entre le grand et le petit, entre le nouveau et |’ancien, et les effects matériels et spirituels de |ces différences entre: mon pays natal et mon pays adoptif.” Ce contraste ‘s'est fait .voir aussit6t en arrivant, dans les petits champs des paysans qui semblaient si curieux a nos yeux accoutumés aux immenses terrains américains, qui se déroulent sans fin. Que ces petits champs se sont attachés.a nos coeurs pendant tous trios voyages! Je me rappellerai toujours le paysage vu du Mont-Blanc, qui ressem- blait de cette hauteur. a de l’étoffe écos- saise. Par toute la France les moindreés coins de terre sont cultivés, les foréts soignées, les arbres bien arrangés en deux rangs égaux le long: des petits’ chemins aussi bien que des grandes routes. Toutes ces caractéristiques du paysage m’ont im- pressionnée; mais j’ai appris pett a peu que ce n’étaient la ‘que des signes extéri- eurs. du caractére francais; soin,; netteté, précision. Cela caractérise la ménageére qui arrange les chambres et les tiroirs de sa_maison, le savant-quitravaille-.avec précision méthodique, aussi bien que le paysan’ qui cultive .si soigneusement ses champs. Puis, l'économie de la terre n’est qu'un reflet de l’esprit frangais. . C’est encore une caractéristique fort différente pour’moi. Nous, Américains, qui ache- tons pour ‘ainsi dire d’abord et-qui gag- nons aprés, trouvons avec étonnement qu’on. comprend les choses tout autrement en France, ef qu’on y gagne plutdét deux fois avant de dépenser une, fois. . .°. “Quant au contraste entre le nouveau et l’ancien, que faut—il en dire? Les signes extérieurs ne sont que trop évi- dents et trop connus pour les commenter. Et l’esprit—comment exprimer cette’ im- pression du. fardeau..de la civilisation (si jose lappeler. ainsi) que porte le Fran- cais dés les premiers jours de son éduca- tion, et que je n’ai-commencé a com- prendre qu’aprés ‘bien des mois en ‘Europe? Je ne dirai méme pas que je le comprends maintenant, ou que iy arri- verai jamais entiérement, puisqu’on com- prent difficilement avec l’esprit ce“ qui représente un état d’ame. II est difficile de concevoir cet état, qui est le résultat de tant de siécles. Les générations qui ont précéde le Francais d’aujourd’hui vivent encore en lui,—les philosophes, les psy- chologues, les penseurs, d’hier ont tous laissé leurs traces sur ‘l’4me moderne. Le résultat est un raffinement presque in- connu en Amérique, une recherche dans les profondeurs de l’ame et dans les sen- timents qu’on y trouve. Tout cela se refléte dans l’art et dans les sentiments qu’on y trouve. Tout cela se refléte dans l'art. et dans la musique modernes, en France. Mais, pour donner un exemple plus concret, je pourrais citer citer mon étonnement, un jour, quand une amie m’a dit qu’on a demandé a une petite fille ous SOUTH NOW IN NAN DUSKIN EIGHTEENTH PROGRESS Our annual S ring Sale of Go wns at ‘epeiiieeslid. reductions —— de dix ans, d’écrire un dissertation sur’ ce qu'elle sent en faisant une promenade au Luxembourg: pas ce qu'elle voit, mais ses sefisations! Il était incroyable pour moi qu’on demandat“a une enfant si jetine de commencer .a étudier son-moi, de faire une recherche en elle-méme. “Je dois dire a ce propos que Il’éduca- tiori des enfants m’a beaucoup intéressée. Il est inutile de répéter ce que tout le monde doit savoir, qu’on insiste beaucoup plus sur le cété—jntellectuel en France qu’en Amérique, et presque pas du tout sur le coté physique. L’intelligence est un intérét public, et le développement du corps est laissé a l’individu. J’ai méme trouvé dans mon petit cercle de connais- sances' beaucoup de »cas ot les _pro- grammes dans les écoles ‘étaient tellerhent chargés que les enfants non ‘seulement n’avaient pas le temps de faire du sport, mais ne pouvaient méme pas préparer leurs lecons sans aide.

Women Win Collegiate | Good Sleep Contest _ Hamilton, N. Y.—Girls are far better sleepers than men, according to Dr. Don- ald Laird, “expert” on the subject. of sleep and professor of psychology at Col- gate University, where a recent. sleep survey was-held. An intercollegiate good sleep contest was held between the men at Colgate and . the women at Skidmore College. Resulting figures showed that girls have less trouble going to sleep, wake up fewer times during the night, are less restless, and have fewer dreams. In addition, fewer girls have to be called twice in-the morning and in gen- eral feel more peppy and less grouchy and are less foggy mentally in the morning. Professor Laird attributes this to the theory that members of the feminine sex are neither as active physically mentally as men. : “Only four hours may be sufficient to recuperate physically,” he maintains, “but mentally men may need eight hours more to be completely rested.”—N.

There is no answer that can be made to this over- whelming argument against Capitalism. Increasing unemployment is leading to increasing unrest. Workers are coming to believe it unnecessarily ironic that be- cause they produce too much they must consume too little. We suffer not from overproduction but from maldistribution. Everywhere we see great wealth con- trasted .with great poverty. The war, born or imperialism, intensi- fied nationalism. Europe is on the brink of another war. America, economically dependent, cannot remain aloof from foreign wars. A_ sentimental pacifism i trusting in Kellogg pacts and the League of Nations is foolish. Good though they be, these are useless to prevent war when nations’ supreme loyalties are to amoral states which are above ethics. To the twin gods, Profit and The State, we have sacrificed more\ lives than ever were slaughtered for heathen idols. é na ouneictn ieidavenntinnpamnntecointielisiditeletnotensilihaaha “I agree largely,” said Mr. Thomas, 3 “with the denunciations of the Com- munist, Mr. Scott Nearing, whom some of you have heard speak. I cannot agree with his -inethods.” To avoid social suicide we must try, with a minimum of violence, to develop and improve Democ- racy to provide for peace, plenty and free- dom. “I do not assume that we shall |. come to some easy revolution; I wish I did believe it.” There is nothing radical about violence; it is conservative and_re- 9..actionary. Nor is there any relation in ‘history between amount of violence and 1 -amount of social change. ' Our highly i artificial civilization makes war suicidal. | “Communists say ‘The World War led to ee . the Russian revolution; the next war-will ~~Jead to world revolttion.” —They~forget that the war led also to the Italian revo- lution, to the growth of dictatorship and Fascism throughout Europe. : - The Russian revolution, although per- haps as important a step forward as the «French revolution, has created serious ‘problems. Science in serving the state is in danger of becoming dogmatic rather than experimental; civil liberty is denied; the people have had to undergo hardships which our people perhaps could not bear. The Russian revolution was accomplished through violence and dictatorship but we must not accept lightly the inevitability of these things. We must organize to uphold peace and democracy. We need a new outlook on life. We need to Jearn to co-operate, to learn to feel that there is no shame greater: than being a passenger in the lifeboat of life, Individualism is already dead. We must outline a program for socialism that will carry us on further. Plans for nafional and international reform must be thought out in detail. .When the revolution comes plans to direct it must be ready. Working. under existing problems is not a hopeless problem. Public owner- ship, public works, proper taxation, un- employment insurance, wars against pov- erty, disease, tyranny and war can be ad- vocated. We must aim’ far production for use not for profit.. Technilogical and cyclical unemployment can never be got rid. of when production is for profit as it now Above all we must work in humdrum organizations as well as dream. -We must form a political organization that stands for something. Civil disobedience rather than violence should become our weapon.’ It does not mean compromise but merely avoiding the barricades rather than manning them. “There are barricades today ficiently strong to hide behind.” 1S. no suf- Russian Facts Shown CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE formed in mind. So Russia has abol- ished private property and religion and shaken the very roots of the family. When the Russian says private prdb- erty he means the more comprehensive term private business...

The clergyman is, decried along with the business man and the bootlegger. “Yet this is no new con- cept because the peasant was funda- He had drama, color and art in his church but no religion. Mr. Hindus gives these facts merely as a suggestion of the condi- tion; he has no theories as to a gevival. Women Sustain Family x Although the Soviet regime has dis- carded private enterprise and frankly discourages religion, it never. wanted’ to destroy the family. By brushing aside the external forces it has been compelled to be: sustained. by its own inner forces. Marriage and divorce are as easy to obtain as a milk-shake in America; yet infinite care is taken to’ protect the children, so much so that there is an intreasing overpopulation. The peasant children don’t ‘die. “In spite of everything the family is sur- viving. The reason for’ this may be found in the quality of the Russian woman. It is a pity, said Mr. Hindus, that foreigners with slight knowledge of the Russian tongue are not able to come in contact with such an impor- tant factor in.Russia as the women of the modern woman politician and long ago she bobbed her hair and smoked cigarettes, - She does not play with her emotions nor take marriage lightly and the result is a new kind of margiage, a social unit rooted in monogamy. Because of her fidelity, marriage is not being discarded. The increase of collective farms} is | an indication of the peasants’ strength, and the eternal nearness of the gov- ernment has induced in him a growing political mindedness. He has discov- ered the power of organization from the need of it, and so is the peasant becoming -the--gigantic shadow that | hangs—over_the_Soviet_ rule. _Hé™ is. the great mystery. The government will not be near a definite settlement until we have heard his point of view.
