Beattle, Wash. Exeunt Soviet f\rl Criti (St. Louis Star-Times) Pravda has opened its big guns on a group of Russian art critics. Its criticisms of the critics are amusing—that is, until they are translated into the brutal reality of Soviet life. When Pravda says that the critics are “esthet nonentities,” it is condemning them for still consider- ing beauty and truth important. When it says the critics are bearers of repulsive “cosmopolitan is berating them for still having the windows in their minds and souls open to the outside world. When Pravda rails at the critics for objecting that Soviet heroes are always pictured as victorious, Pravda is railing at a sense of proportion. When Pravda abuses critics for preferring the cl to contemporary | Soviet drama, it is really attacking a sense of histo But when Pravda asks their “eradication from the field of art,” Pravda means just that—eradication, not | only from the field of art, but, very likely, also from the face of the earth. | | It is through criticism that the human race has | managed to ~ome out of the caves and lead a civilized | life. The first man who objected to a general error | because he thought he was right was the first critic. | Free men will grieve at the fast-quickening trend :n Soviet life away from reason and back to fanatical superstition. Their grief will be tempered by “heir confidence that in a war between the Soviet tyranny and the human spirit, the Soviets cannot win. Their defeat may be a long time coming. They may drag much of the world down with them in ruin. But their the passengers either! doom is sealed. Other dangers are inherent in the scheme. If dog and cat lovers can carry their pets on public vehicles, why can't goat or deer Jovers claim the same privilege? | Once we knew a girl who made pets of snakes. An- GOING WITH THE DOGS Down in San Francisco dogs and cats are to be allowed to ride on bus or streetcar, provided they pay fares. We have no objection to such a plan There are lots of dogs we'd be proud to sit with But we're wondering how the dogs and cats will take it. After all, they had no voice—or at least we pre- sume they didn’t-in the decision. | Imagine the fate of a long-tailed quadruped on & bus during the rush hours of late afternoon. Under conditions which then prevail, a man's two feet are points of weakness. Suppose he had four feet and 18 inches of tail exposed to the tread of his neighbors! He'd live a dog's life, truly! We wonder, too, what might happen if a hard-| ened old tom-at were occupying the window seat and a boisterous fox terrior tried to squeeze in next to him. It shouldn’t happen to a ‘dog—or to the rest of Another Américan institution is threatened b_vl inflation and Federal extravagance.
