The daily worker., 1924-10-04

The party cleaning during which
thousands of lukewarm Communist
elements were expelled from the or
ganization was almost the sole topic
of conversation in Russia for months.
OF the thousands of humorous anec-
dotes that were retailed in party meet
ings, union halls, in the cafes and all
other centers of discussion during
this period, l submit the following to
prove my contention:
A comrade was called before the
Control Commission for examination.
He was asked: What is your social
origin?" He replied. "The same as
Lenin's." What is your view of the
Red Army as an instrument for the
conquest Of power?" "The same as
Trotsky's." What is your style of
hving?" "The same as Kamenev's' -
What are your views on drinking
"The same as Ryckov's." What are
your views of the marriage relation
"The same as Kollontai's." what are
your views on the role of the peas
ants in the revolution?" "The same as
Kalinin's."
The Control Commission consulted
for a moment and then said: Eek.
PEELED from the party"
"What?" said the aggrieved com
rade, with so many illustrious exam
pies to my credit?"
"Yes," said the chairman of the
Control Commission" the cumulative
effect is too much"
There is certainly a large and hui

the Lenin mausoleum for about two
hours, tried to slip into the Kremlin
thru the crowd as it spread out over
the Red Square. Someone recognized
him and about the same time Kali
inin, president of the Soviet Republics.
and Zinoviev were also recognized.
Grinning faces and hands outstretched
to seize us met McManus and / as we
stepped down from the mausoleum but
we threw dignity to the winds and
fed. / looked back over my shoulder
and saw the three men whose names
are symbolic of world revolution and
the dictatorship of the proletariat, the
personifcation of the power Of the
workers and peasants of Russia, toss
ed in the air again and again while
the happy roar of the assembled
thousands made the ground tremble
beneath my feet.
Can anyone conceive of Calvin
Coolidge in similar situation?

houses that are well-ventilated. The
manager is a fresh-air fiend."
Does he insist that they keep
their windows open?"
mo, he let's the roofs stay open"
Now this is real humor, dealing with
the sweeping everyday facts of the life
Of the workers and peasants. Incl
deentally can you picture the effect
Of these pointed jests in keeping care
less comrades to the straight and mar
row path Of Communist rectitude?
A million workers marched in Mos
COW in the demonstrations held on the
day set aside by the Third Interna-
tional for agitation against imperial
ist war. They marched in solid
streams from all parts of the city to
the Red Square carrying the tattered
banners Of the revolution and new
ones inscribed with revolutionary slo-
gans. l saw perhaps a third of these
marchers as they surged past the
Comintern building, the Lux Hotel and
the Lenin mausoleum. McManus and
1 shouted greetings until we were
hoarse. 1t was sight that one can
never forget but again it is not the
most important thing that happened
that day.
The Russians express supreme ap-
proval by seizing the person whom
they desire to honor and tossing him
up in the air until he begs for mercy.

ings to the marchers from the top Of

RUSSIAN NOTES

the actors and dancers were members
in good standing Of the All-Russian
Municipal Workers Union.
These facts are important but it
was not until after the curtain had
hidden the last act Of the pageant
that 1 was able to explain to myself
a puzzling something about the whole
affair.
1t was the amazing fact that there
were more or just as many people in
the pageant as there were in the au-
dience. Were such a spectacle to be
staged in the United States, it would
require months of preparation and
would have to be presented to a
crowd of 5000 people If the bare ex-
penses were met. The All-Russian
Municipal Workers Union has staged
this spectacle simply for the enter
tainment of its delegates and with the
exception of few privileged persons
like myself that is all that were pres.
ent.

ers reading as they eat their lunch on
the job. Workers reading in the street

cooperative stores when customers
are scarce.

or four in each block in the business

man quality about this story.
This same quality is carried into the
humorous publications of Soviet Rus
sia.
"Red Pepper" and "Hot Water" are
two typical examples of this kind of
journal They are, in a way, like
Life" and Judge" with the difference
that the quips are very pointed, the
names Of the participants are gener-
ally given and most of the squibs are
furnished by workers and peasants.
A few samples:
"The military policeman In blank
village (the name of the village is
given and also the name Of the police
mani has an assistant"
"Is that so? What does he need an
assistant for in such a small and
peaceful village?"
"To carry letters to his sweetheart"
(the name of the sweetheart is also
given).
'T have been here two weeks trying
to see the manager OF the blank fac.
tory" (the name Of the factory is
given.)
We'll, IL you really want to see
him you had better move your family
here; it may take you all summer be
cause he hates nothing SO much as
being disturbed"
What is all that noise in the blank
hospital?" (The name Of the hospital
is given).
"oh, that's the matron. The patients
have just asked her for fresh bed
linen"
The miners in blank village (the
name Of the village is given) have

shoulders on the street and in the
restaurants.
"The Whistle"-the, official daily
paper Of the All-Russian Union of Rail-
way Workers has a circulation of over
100000. "Isvestia" has a circulation
of 100000 with over a million appli-
cants for subscriptions on file that
cannot be filed for lack Of sufficient
technical equipment. Every union
with its daily paper and numberless
magazines. Special publications for
and by every kind Of workers organi-
zation-educational, technical, cul-
tural. The Soviet government is the
biggest publisher in the whole world,
says the report of the United States
department OF commerce.
More than 800 volumes on Lenin
and various phases of his life and ac-
tivity have been published since his
death.
"The Life of Henry Ford" exceeds
in sales any book published in Russia
Lest any good comrade be scandalized
by this seeming heresy let me hasten
to say that this has nothing to do with
politics. 1t simply means that all ma
jor political questions having been
solved in Russia, the Russian workers
seek in the life of Henry Ford the
secret Of his industrial methods.
The Russian masses are humorous
and jovial lot.
This may run counter to all that
Gorki, Dostoevsky, Andreyev, Tolstoi
and Chekov have written and there
fore be literary blasphemy but speak
only Of my own impressions. Then
again there has been a revolution in
Russia and may be right.
