nte igh f the appeal of the MAXIM GORKI IS BACK AS A HERO Famous; Writer Triumphant in Russian Return Moscow, June 26 (UP)~—After six years of Eelf-lmvosedjexlle. Maxim Ggrki has returned ~ to his native land. Only conquering warriors in the past and trans-oceanic aviators nowadaya are fated to receive such unbounded popular acclaim as was his from the moment he stepped on Russian soll at Nigoreloye. One searches in vain through recent his- tory for a parallel—for a writer who was greeted by the wide masses of his countrymen as a hero. The progress of Gorki's special train from the frontier through ‘White Russia was a triumphal pa- rade, with tens of thousands shout- ing their affection. They addressed him by his first name and called him comrade. The reception in Mos- cow was a fitting climax. Nicolas Burkharin for the Communist Party and Anatole Lunacharsky for the government were in the forefront, and beyond them a waving, hurrah- ing mass of Muscovites, 1t was 3 sea of enthusiasm that caught up Gorki and carrled from crest to erest, helpless and almost over- whelmed “A few more days such as this” he told « convention of railroad workers nest day,. “and 1 fear 1 shall dic of sheer joy.” Greeted By Crowds. Nor did the excitement and jubi- lation subside after the first out- burst. Gorki's appearance anywhere, the mere rumor that he may be in & place, was the signal for crowds and more crowds. All the titles and honors which the government and the trade-unions could heap upon him were his in superabundance. His name was on al tongues and his picture everywhere, How is one to account extraordinary demonstration? It is easy cnougil to understund why a warrior, an aviator should waken hero-worship in millions. There is physical dead, of of startling the romantic gestur physical courage. Biut there ix nothing of all that in Gorki. He has worked a lifetime, quietly, per- sistently in the domain of art. True, Russia he is vead more widely in than sther writer, Hving or dead Yet his achievemdnt us an artist can searcely be apparent to all the mil- lions who acclaim him, And stirs millions of the lowly. There s in the elaim of Giorkl, this wriwer feels, more of personal wfection than these is of literary appreciation. Gorki's greatness as a writer, the masses know in large m through hearsay. They read and find him to be good, greatness is not theirs to jud accept the judgment of the More Than Hero Worship It is the man Gorki whom they love He is of the people and writes for the people.
