notably from insufficient rehearsal. Miss
Millay’s lines demand a perfection in
production, a complete synthesis of ‘in-
terpretation, voice, gesture, and move-
ment, which only long training can pro-4
duce. Much of the spirit of the Aria
was indeed conveyed, but except for Miss

the chief cause is the economic rivalry
of capitalists. The Trade Unions are
holding a campaign of “War Against
War,” by issuing pamphlets showing the
fundamental wrongness of it.
In France, the same feelings are prev-
alent. The coal mine region was on the
front, and ‘suffered more than any other
district, yet it was interesting to note
that in all the towns the place of honor
was reserved not for some military hero,

Working Conditions Godd in Russia.
Soviet Russia was the most. ifiterest-
ing country visited The, working con-
ditions there, said Mr. Hapgood, were
better ‘there than in any other country|
A miner spends only sjx hours 4 day
underground; he gets a month’s vaca-
tion with full pay every year; and in
case of accident or sickness, » he gets
full pay, and—medical treatment, or if
he is permanently disabled his family
receives seventy-five’ per cent. of his
wages. . The conditions. for women are
the same, except that married women
get two months with pay, before and
after childbirth.
The living conditions are not so good
as the working. There is a great deal of
poverty, but wages are good in propor-
tion to the cost of living. The standard
of living is about the same as in this
country and is coming up, because pro-
duction is increasing.
The Communist Patty is in control in
Russia, although only five hundred thou-
sand out of one hundred and twenty-five
million people belong to «it. The reason
for this small proportion is that a mem-
ber of the party may not take a wage
exceeding one hundred and ninety-five
rubles ($100) a month. Also, there can
be no graft among members. A private
citizen is only lightly punished, but a
party member must die for it. Hypoc-
risy is the crime of crimes.
Russia is in a transitional period.
Real communism will not come during
this generation, but it will come. They
cannot hope to convert older people who
have grown up with such different theo-
ries, but it is the youth of the country
that they feel they can give the right
sense of values. It will not be necessary
to change human nature; they think that
the child will react well. Their educa-
tional system is based on the fundamental
principle that success does not mean
making a great deal of money, but being
of most service, that will mean .belong-
ing to the ruling party. Their motto is
“From each in accordance to his pow-
ers: To eAch in accordance to his needs.”
Young Russia Is Athletic.
Mr. Hapgood told of meeting a group
of young people who were on their vaca-
tion. It was a typical group of miners

Of Rags.
With commendable forethought, the

worth while to preserve.”

“It (the movement which started: the
McNary-Haugen bill) will _ probably
smoulder away now until the next Presi-

shook the country thirty years ago.”—

. What the Press Thinks.
“When the Board of Trustees arro-
gates to itself the power of issuing a
pontifical prohibition on such a subjéct,
it gives the impression that Princeton
University is a sort of orphan asylum,
composed of children incompetent to
handle the minor problems of community
life."—Baltimore Sun.
