In the fifth place, it Is necessary
that our production nuclei occupy
themselves with the course Of events
in the works and trusts. This must
be carried out in such manner that
the nuclei are kept au courant with
respect to the work being done by
the leading organs of our shops and
associations, so that they may be
able to exercise an influence on this
work. You, as representatives of
the nuclei, know very we'll how great
is the moral responsibility borne by
our production nuclei with regard
to the non-partisan masses, in re-
spect to the couySe of events in the

In order that the nucleus shall be
placed in a position enabling it to
bear the responsibility for this course
of events, it must be kept we'll in
formed, must have the possibility
of influencing matters in this or that
direction. 1t is, therefore, impera-
tive that the nuclei be called upon
to take part in the debates on eco
nomical questions connected with the
works and factories, that from time
to time economic conferences be con-
vened by the representatives of the
nuclei belonging to undertakings
forming part of a trust, for the dis
cussion Of questions dealing with the
affairs of the trust. This is one of

Mechanical Partner
Does Team Work
with Miss Menth
By ALFRED v. FRANKENsTEIN

0Y ALT MEL v. NfAANhA4NO Xiv
HERNIA Menth, a Viennese pianist
new to Chicago, played recital at the
Playhouse on the afternoon of
March 4. Miss Menth proved to be
not only a musician of exceptional
gifts, but also a person of new and
different stage personality. She has
much youthful vigor and energy, and
good insight into the spiritual quail
ties Of the music which she played.
She was not afraid to talk to her au-
dience, not too stiff to tell her hear
ers all about what she was about to
play.
Part Of the program was given over
to two piano music, the first piano
part played by a reproducing piano,
the second by Miss Menth. The re-
producing piano has been perfected
to a point where the difference be-
tween its Interpretation and that of
the artist who made the record is
difficult TO detect. Accordingly, il
has served to make possible the per-
formance of two-piano music more
often, without the necessity Of an as
sisting artist, and with great in
crease in the possibilities of program
making. The only disadvantage is
that, once record is made, the inter
probation must remain fixed and UNI
changing, limiting the performer to
only one style Of rendition.

In the third place, it is necessary
that all Party functionaries, unless
insuperable obstacles lie Ill the way
with regard to too short member
ship of the Party, etc, should be
chosen by election. The practice of
ignoring the will Of the majority in
the organizations when appointing
comrades to responsible positions in
the Party must be completely done
away with in actual practice. The
principle of the election must be
realized in fact.
Regular Conferences Necessary.
In the fourth place, it is necessary
that the Central, as also the leading
Party organizations for the gouverne-
ments and districts should hold ac-
tive conferences of the responsible
functionaries of every branch Of
workers, economists, Party workers,
trade unions, and military. These
conferences must take place regu-
larly, the questions considered neces-
sary by the conference are to be dis
cussed, contact between the function
aries of all categories must be kept
up uninterruptedly, all functionaries
must be made to feel that they are
members Of the same Party family,
that they are all working for one
common cause, for the indivisible
cause Of the proletariat; around the
Central and around the local organi-
cations, there must be created an
environment giving the Party the
possibility of controlling the practi-
cal experience won by our respon-
sible functionaries in every sphere
Of work, and of giving these the
opportunity Of experience.

ponents constituting our Party nuclei.
Comrade Zinoviev's article already
touched upon the assertion that our
Party nuclei have remained behind
the non-partisan masses surrounding
them in point Of quality. This asser-
ton must, Of course, not be general
lied and applied to all nuclei. 1t
would be more correct to say that
our Party nuclei would, for instance,
stand upon a higher cultural level
than they do now, if we did not re-
move from these nuclei those per-
sons whom we are forced to employ
for other work.
Alter Conditions Of Admission.
If all our comrades, the workers,
in the unions, removed by us during
the last six years from the nuclei,
were to return to their nuclei,
would any further proof be required
that these nuclei stand at a much
higher cultural level than even the
most advanced non-partisan work.
ers? 1t is just for this reason that
the Party possesses no other ele-
ments for the Improvement of the
state apparatus and is obliged to re-
turn to this source again and again.
We must free ourselves from that
superfuous Journalism so otter
shown by our Party when admitting
new members to the Party, when
these belong to the working class.
We must not be So ruled by formal
ism. The Party can and must facili-
tate the conditions Of admission to
the Party for members of the work
ing class.

THE THEATRE
BERNARD SHAW ON HERESY
Review of Saint Joan
By FREDERICK KUN
Federated Press)

II NACAabGQ \
EVER has Bernard Shaw been
IN more impressive than in Saint
Joan, which is enjoying its first pres
entation on any stage thru the The
ater Guild in New York. And q
sterling production, at that. One
feels that, in this play, G. B. S. has
unleashed the pent up, hot emotions
which, in his most successful works,
he has subordinated to cold intellec-
tuality.
Not that Saint Joan does not
abound in satire. But this is the
weakest aspect of his powerful stage
chronicle. The jibes at the English
in Saint Joan often verge perilously
close to the slapstick; and Of the
blows at the Catholic church, a few
are telling, while many are over
stressed. In the second act, wherein
the archbishop Of Rheims unveils the
shams Of his cult, one wishes that
his receptions were rendered less ap-
parent and that the dramatist had
left US to do more Of our own de-
bunking. But these vulnerable pas
sages serve to magnify the mature
wisdom and beauty of the play as a
whole.
Shaw leaves the traditional story
Of Joan virtually intact. Joan is
merely shorn of the superstitions
woven around her legend. Her be-
havior is rationalized. And she
stands before US, the unripe girl
obedient to her conscience, courage
ously defying church and state in
her respondent faith.
The eternal price Of heresy is the
recurrent theme. Last century's icon
oclasm becomes the sanctified respec-
liability of today. And when, in the
epilogue Joan reappears before her
| inquisitors, who are now her h1I1ble
worshippers, we are made to realize
that they would avidly burn her
again at the stake, were she to re-
turn in the flesh. We are reminded
that, because men possess so little
imagination, new saint must bt
crucified for each generation.
Only the shabby English soldier
reincarnated Henry Dubb, reveal:
something akin to genuine under
standing Of Joan's spirit-and he, Of
course, is merely on furlough from
hell.
In the 18th century, 1t was th'
heresy of nationalism, menacing tht
power of clerical and secular HER
archy, Of which Joan was guilty
Nowadays, it is dissent from oul
capitalist, nationalist institutions
that is the cardinal sin. And in tbs
next century, what new heresies shall
be invented, that we may replenisl
our larder with freshly crucified pic
neers? "How much longer, oh Lord
how much longer!n is Joan's or,
in the wilderness. How often i:
that cry being echoed in the prison
and death cells of our contemporar!

Fought Socialists
Cstan Correspondent Of the Federated PrssIl

(staR Correspondent Of the Federated Pressr
BERLIN, March 6.-"The decree
outlawing the Communist Party IN
Germany is doing for the Commun-
ist movement what Bismarck's anti
Socialist law did for the Socialist
movement" Wilhelm Bartz, Com
munist member Of the reichstag,
claims. In discussing the effects Of
the decree issued under the state
of-emergency act by the military die
tator, General Won Seeckt, Bartz told
The Federated Press that Just as
Bismarck's actions stimulated inter-
est in Socialism, so the ban on Com
munists is making Communist con-
verts."
Bartz has returned to Berlin from
speaking campaign in Saxony,
Thuringia and Mecklenburg.
Ban Is Failure.
"How did you manage to hold
meetings when the party has been de-
clared illegal?" | inquired.
"That was simple and at the same
time a good illustration of the way
bureaucracy works." Bartz replied.
1--WE were not allowed to call meet
ings Of the Communist Party, nor
ask people to vote the Communist
Party ticket, but groups of Commun-
list voters could band themselves to-
gether as Communist voters COM
mittees' and as such obtain permits
sion to hold campaign meetings. The
judiciary committee of the reichstag
had decided that nobody can deny
candidate the right during election
time to address his constituents. He
therefore gets up a voters committee
and that committee arranges the cam
paign meeting.
Meeting Anyhow.
cat the meeting we are not al
lowed to say, join the Communist
Party or vote for the candidates Of
the Communist Party but we must
say become adherents to Commun-
ist thought. or vote for Communists
BY complying with these technical
titles we get by and hold our meetings
just as tho nothing had happened.
Of course, at times there are dis
turbances and interference, and we
must expect to be arrested during
such meetings. Only the other week
was held in Jail for three days
after being arrested at voters meet
ing.
"The main thing is that we can talk
to our voters and win them over for
Communism. And here the element
of forbidden fruit enters to our adj
vantage. There is more Of romance
and Of personal bravery connected
with being a Communist now than
before the stupid edict was issued. .
