Castor Oil Prince | Dopes Pittsburgh School Children (Special to The Daily Worker) PITTSBURGH, Pa. Feb. 21— Prince Don Gelasio Caetani, royal am’ jor from Italy to the United States, addressed the children of St. Peters School in Fernando Street a few days ago. Rows and rows of the children were massed on the stage as an applause committee of the prince’s fascist policies. One of the children assigned as a spokesman repeated a memorized phrase: “Viva fo Mussolini.” The prince concluded: “As ambassador of Italy, I te!l you to remember Italy, to love America and to serve God.” Thus the worker’s child is tutored to remember Italy—a country ruled} by fascismo and castor-oil; to love| America, the country of the injunc- tion, the child slave and the exploited wor! and farmers, to serve God or his representatives on earth, the supporters of the big bankers, We heartily invite our “fascist } ince” to address the child laborers in the beet fields of Michigan or on the truck farms of Maryland.” We wonder if their cry would be “Viva for Mussolini” or “Down with the child murderers”? stated Comrade + 's Second Set _ of Appeal Coupons A days ago the Labor Defense announced the offer of a of Libedinsky’s famous Russian “A Week,” to everyone who ‘paper a $6.00 sheet of Ruthenberg ns, soe ly copies are being mailed out—and comrades are asking for ‘more sets of coupons.

Earlier installments tell of the fuel shortage that pre- vents seed grain from being fetched on the railroad.- The Party meeting decides to send the Red Army far away for fuel, at the risk of leaving the city open for bandits and counter-revolutionists. It also decides to conscript the local bourgeoisie for wood cutting in a near-by park. Varied types of party members are flashed on the screen: Klimin, the efficient president of the branch, who still finds time to have a. sweetheart; Robeiko, the consumptive, whose devotion is killing him; Gornyikh, the brilliant youth of 19 on the Cheka; Matusenko, the luxury- loving place hunter, and Martui- nov, whose middle-class angeced- ants allow him to fit with“some difficulty into the movement to which his idealism led him. In the last issue Martuinov has rushed to the court-yard of the Commun- ist Company at the sound of the alarm siren which calls the party members to arms.

He called out to a friend in a cheer- ful voice: “Well, Mitka, pre we going to smash the bandits?” and then dis- appeared in the dark ranks. “Do you smoke, Comrade?” some one asked Martuinov, and be- side him he saw a quiet simple face almost eaten up with thes marks of an ancient small-pox. He recognized him—from the Supply Committee, Stalmakhov. And Stalmakhov was hands and saying: “Good day, Comrade Martuinov, I did not recognize you.” And instantly Martuinov covered over with a big grey veil the un- quiet ideas, the anxiety, all that was tossing about in his soul. He entered quietly ‘ato conversation. “I am no smoker, Comrade. . .. What is the alarm about? Do you know?” Stalmakhov had not time to MENSHEVIK HEAD EXPOSES TREASON PLOTS OF PARTY Planned Official Mur- ders and Train Wrecks (Special to The Daily Worker) TIFLIS, Feb, 21.—A former active member of the Menhsevik party, Chamladze, is printing in the local “Rabochaya Pravda” sensa- tional revelations of the activities of the Mensheviks.

As late as November, 1923, the Mensheviks in Georgia were busy preparing an armed insurrection against the gov- ernment, but the arrest of the leaders cut short these activities. shaking The revelations made a deep im-f pression on the population. 83 mem- bers of the Menshevik party sent a signed statement to the paper giving reasons ;why they are leaving the party.

Martuinov did not listen to ‘him. The big courtyard of the Communist Company, the familiar faces of those who had gathered there, now seemed to him worka- day and ordinary.

She had been his love, the love which one can be false to but never forget. Else why had he chosen her in particular from the crowd of merry children with whom he had grown up? For then she had not seemed pretty: a dark face, with high cheekbones, a rather snub nose; only her scarlet lips and those dark wide eyes, made her strangely attractive. And then she had turned into a bewitching young girl who kept her smiles for him alone, and en- chanted him with the wise and ten- der charm of her face, the severe and sober grace of her movements. . And he had known that he symphony of struggle. . . . the Every one listened and tooked; three men were walking along the ranks; Karaulov, Klimin, Robeiko.

He did not like her family, her father, the Colonel bragging of his nobility, the sons who copied him, young elegant officers—and yet he spent his evenings at her house, listened to her unhurried sensible words, and read her his first poems, that he hid written for her. What a short time ago that was, and how irrevocably far it seemed! ° If there is such a thing as immor- tality, the soul of the man who died yesterday remembers so his past existence. The Revolution had come between- them. Nadya did not understand it, listened to his burning words, smiling and tearing up a scrap of paper or stuff in her delicate fing- ers—that was a habit she had— and replied: “All this has hap- pened before, Volodya; every. revo- lution begins with joy and the ex- pectation of the Kingdom of Heaven upon earth, and. the event brings so much suffering as to out- weigh altogether its diminutive gains.” And each moment the develop- ment of the revolution took firmer hold on him, whereas she became religious, studied the Apocalypse, | and expected the end of the world. They became more and more alien and incomprehensible for each other. At the time of the October Revo- lution he was an opponent of the Bolsheviks, and wag even arrested by them for two weeks. But this arrest did not draw them together but still further drove them apart. When he came out of prison she met him as if he. were a martyr. Whereas for him, all it amounted to was that he “had had some difference of opinion” with the Bol- sheviks. Soon after that he had stopped going to the house. He was pained by the blind hatred with which her whole family regarded the Soviet Government and.the revolution. The civil war separated them for a long tine, and then when he, already a Communist, returned to the town with the victorious Red Army and Jearnt that her brother had been shot as a counter-revo- lutionary, he cculd not make up his mind to visit them, and, meeting only in the street, bowed. to her who had grown handsomer tho always sad, and she soberly nodded her head in reply, and each meet- ing left its trace in his soul. .. .

There it stood, a red brick house, and thru the chinks of the closed shutters spirted thin welcoming rays of light, as in that time so long ago.... “No, Comrade Stalmakhov, into that house I will not go. I beg you to go in by yourselves,” and catching by the sleeves the coldly wondering Stalmakhov, he whisper- ed to him, “You go in there, the two of you... .

I had for- gotten that you are from these parts,” Stalmakhov murmured, at- tentively and humorously looking at Martuinov. ’ “Come on,” said Stalmakhov to the third of them, and they began knocking loudly. A swarm of thoughts, one after another, rushed thru Martuinov’s mind, and when the wicket already creaked, and a_ frightened -voice asked, “What is it? What do you want?” Martuinov, breathless from the beating of his heart, with the despair of a man resolved on sui- cide, went into the big courtyard, Stalmakhov glanced back at him.

Mar- tuinov knew so well everything in that dining room! There was Colonel Rostovtsev himself, a little dried up old man, in a worn-out military tunic, the places on the shoulders where once had been stitched epaulettes showing green with new cloth. He was serving now in the Commis- sariat for War and, with trem- bling hands, hurried to get his cer- tificate, There was his wife, a tall, hand-- some woman with a pale face and eyes like Nadya’s, who once upon a time had been so fond of Mar- tuinov. Not raising her head, she went on cleaning the glasses. And there, in the far corner, was Nadya. . . . It was so long since he had seen her in a simple indoor frock! She was getting up from her chair; she was disturbed and angry—for Martuinov knew every line, every movement of this face that even now was dear to him.

(To Be Continued Saturday) Hard to Surprise, Easy to Please, Blase Gothamites By FREDERICK KUH. (Staff Correspondent of The Federated Press) NEW YORK, Feb. 21—A Euro- pean, visiting the latest crop of frothy musical comedies on Broad- ‘way, would blink in amazement at their mechanical adroitness. In Ber- lin, Moscow, Vienna or Prague, the magician who draws a rabbit and a canary from a derby hat is still the highest expression of mechanical genius. In middle-class America, searcely a single polite “Ah” escapes from the spectator who see’ a life- sized kitchenette apartment with oceupants emerge on the stage from imperceptible regions below. They are resorting to new devices on Broadway now, each more ingeniuos than last year’s. A soubrette in the “Music Box Revue” sings a senti- mental, railroad-circular sort of bal- lad about orange groves in Cali- fornia—while, from some invisible source—a suspicion of faint orange perfume is wafted into the audi- torium. For some, this suggested a barber shop and hot towels. For the majority, it heightened the picture of ge orchards. There is subtlety and untold gen- ius in the technical perfection of these productions, Artists, engineers. dramatists, producers and a staff of stage workers devote weeks and months to evolving an Oriental seene, in order to have a convincing background for the newest morsel of “Chinese” jazz melody. One may rea- sonably question whether this elab- orate game is worth the spotlight; but the pleasure-bent theater-goer has no doubts. He comes; he sees; and is conquered. He will even ap- plaud a variation on the mother-i law joke, as long as the trappings afford him novelty. “Music Box Revue” is in- not only in its lavish mech- but in its wit, settings, cos- tumes and tricky scenes. “Andre Charlot’s Revue of 192 is no le spontaneity of its Music Box rival.

Anton Bubanj, (“Naturfreunde”) of San Francisco | © Friday, February 22, 1924 WORKERS PARTY WINS RIGHT TO MEET IN NEWARK Attack on Lenin Meet- ing Was Boomerang (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—When the police prevented the Workers’ Party from holding a Lenin memorial meet- ing in Newark they greatly assisted the cause of free speech in New Jersey, according to Atty. John Lar- kin Hughes, who represented the four speakers arrested at the meeting. “Conditions relating to public meetings are better in New Jersey than in the past ten years,” he de- clared. Ludwig Lore, Alexander Tractenberg, David Kaplan, and Con- stant Chriss were fined $20 each by Police Judge Grice of Newark; but the brief trial clarified the atmos- phere, Hall Owner Intimidated. It was brought out by the defend- ants that the Workers Party had sought to secure the Labor Lyceum for a Lenin memorial meeting Feb. 1, The owner of the hall was inti- midated by the police so that he re- fused to grant the party a permit. The meeting was therefore held in the street. * The prosecutor at the trial sought to “get” the men on the old familiar grounds. “Are you a citizen of the United States?” he asked. “Were you ever arrested for anti-govern- ment activities?” But the judge in- sisted that the men be tried on the. crimes for which they were arrested. “Right to Meet” Admitted: “I think,” he said, “that no one could deny them the right to meet in a hall, These men were arrested for obstructing traffic, not for attack- ing the government. The police have absolutely no right to prevent the Workers Party from holding a meet- ing in a hall. If they do so the party should take the matter to the chancery court.” However, he found the defendants guilty of “loitering and obstructing traffic.” After the trial the prosecuting attorney, city counsel for Newark, suggested a conference between the defense attorney, representative ot the American Civil Liberties union, and himself to “work out some plan” by which the Workers Party might meet in halls unmolested by police. German Middle Class of Pre-War Days Is Almost Wiped Out Herman Basler, the recently-ar- xived delegate from the International Workers Relief Committee, with headquarters in Berlin, spoke last night at the Imperial Hall, under the auspices of the N. S. English branch of the Workers Party. The decline of the mark, said Basler, has completely abolished the middle class that existed before the war. This middle class has gone over, part and parcel, either to the Fascist or the Communist movement. Conditions are so frightful that statistics giving famine death rates have been suppressed. All thru the winter little children have been with- out food or clothing—forced to walk half-naked, unshod, thru snows as heavy as any we have in this city. “A hungry man will fight,” he said, “but a starved man cannot fight, will not fight—he will crawl on his knees for a piece of bread. We must feed them back to energy and strength.” Will Can’t Make Movies Behave, Churches Assert WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Utter failure of Will Hays’ “moral” dicta- torship of the movies is declared, and the creation of a federal com- mission to “regulate at the source” ” is insisted upon, in resolutions adop- ted by the National Motion Picture conference of church workers here. The resolution urges all church and civic groups to organize effec- tively to demand “the strictest su- pervision and control of the motion pictures which are cleverly construc- ted to prevent, debase and corrupt public morals in our country thru- out the world. ...
