torial correspondence of T. W.

a reality at the earliest possible date.
An address was delivered by Miss
Jessie La Sale, supervisor of the In
telligence tests in the public schools
Of the District OF Columbia. She said
that the tests not only enable the
children deficient in mentality to be
selected and given proper training.
but that they enable the unusually
bright children to be found out and
advanced according to their ability.
Empha sizing the need for special
classes for mentally deficient chill
dren, Miss La Sale said that IL a
child Is dull when 1t is young 1t will
also be dull when 1t is older, explain
ing that the development of a child
is relative or proportional to the
quality of the mind which is shown
in the early mental tests.

Communist Painters
Defend Art Against
Bourgeois Vandals
BY ELLA c. WOLFE.

Especial to the DAILY WoRkER)
MEXICO CITY, July 31.-The de-
cadence of capitalism and the new
revolutionary ideas born under this
system which has long ceased to serve
humanity adequately has had tre-
mendous influence on the development
of art in Mexico. 1t has created a
revolutionary art, communist art.
In strong colors and graphic, telling
lines, it describes the lives of the
upper classes, their debauches, their
baseness, their uselessness to the
society they live upon. With the
same strength, with clear under
standing, with real artistic genius,
the Communist painters are covering
the walls of public buildings with the
simple stories of the. productive
worker-in the mines, in the mills,
in the steel works, in the sugar in
dustry, in the dyeing industry, in the
quarries, in the fields.
This vivid contrast between the
lives of the parasites and those of
the useful members of society has
offended the delicate nerves Of the
upper" classes and they have set a
number of reactionary students to de-
stroy these artistic productions which
disturb their consciences. The rea-
sons they give for their adherence of
this new movement in Mexican art is
that it is out Of proportion, it offends
their good taste, it is not aesthetic
Truth, if it hurts, is not aesthetic.
And so the excellent works of the
Communist painters, ]. Celemente
Orozco and D. Alfaro Siqueros have
been practically destroyed; the un-
paralleled works of Diego Rivera have
been threatened. One Saturday morn
ming Rivera and group of workmen,
armed, held off group of young van
dals who were making for his paint
ings.
The foreign colony here has pro.
tested strongly against the ruin of
these paintings. The protest appeared
in the form of an open letter which
was pasted upon the walls of the
capitol. Names of many leading
painters and sculptors of France and
Latin-America, writer's and newspaper
men of the United States and Spanish
poets appeared on the protest.

N. Y. SOCIALISTS
. CHOKE ON TAKING
ALL BOB'S PILLS
Opposition Won't Let
State Ticket Go

Especial to The DAILY WoRKER)
aNEW YORK, July S1.-The State
Convention of the Socialist Party was
held at the Finnish Hall, 2O56 Fifth
Avenue. There were about 80 ac-
credited delegates including the whole
State Socialist machine, Hillquit, Lee,
Gerber, etc.
The question of the endorsement Of
LaFollette and Wheeler was accom-
lished without much ado. 1t seems
that the delegates have become re-
signed to accept so-called Progressive
Republicans and Democrats without
any outward signs of resistance shown
even amongst the so-called Left wing
Judge Panken, Braunstein and 9TH
ers.
However, little thrill was added
to the proceedings on the question of
nominations for Congress. A motion
was introduced leaving to the Execu-
tive Committee the endorsement of
candidates for Congress, an amend
ment by S. Berlin and seconded by
John s. Block to the effect that only
those leaving the old parties and run
ming on the LaFollette ticket can be
endorsed. There was a bitter discus
sion on this question with the whole
S. P. machine aligned against Berlin,
Block and some others Of the smaller
fry. The question of the complete
submergence Of the S. P. in the bour-
geois LaFollette movement did not
seem to worry Hillquit primarily, be-
cause there was little left to be sub
merged. The amendment was lost 16
to IA votes. The opposition argued
that it was sufficient to swallow La
Toilette and Wheeler but they did not
want to swallow the Whole Demo.
cratic and Republican parties.
The original motion to leave this
matter to the incoming Executive
Board was carried 16 to ii, Block and
one other not voting.
