tions and the Russian colony in this
country, and merely incidentally dis
cuss matters of the industrial and
political life of the workers here.
This is a viewpoint which the Central
Executive Committee cannot tolerate
in an official organ of the Party. The
workers of the Russian section must
participate in all the struggles of the
workers of this country. In order
that they may be drawn into these
struggles, the "Novy Mir" must from
day to day interpret facts of the life
of the workers here and in place of
devoting itself preponderately to the
Russian colony and Russian ques-
tions, its pages must be given up, to
large degree, to the questions of
American political life and the
struggles of the workers here.
1t is only if the "Novy Mir" fol-
lows such a policy and the members
of the Russian section carry on their
work in harmony with this policy,
that they will prove themselves real
Communists who see the struggle of
the working class as an international
movement and not merely as a
struggle of their particular national
group.
Repudiate Nationalistic Spirit
1t is because the Russian Commun-
list Party sees the struggle of the
workers from an international view
point and knows that the movement
in Russia can not permanently sue
coed unless the struggle is extended
in victories won in other countries
that we have a Communist Inter-
national. For the Russian section to
adopt the narrow nationalistic view

First, they were men Of hospitable

Second, they were careful students

Third, they were followers of the
truth, and, unafraid, followed all the

address all the public high school grad
yates in Birmingham Monday night at
8 10 o'clock at combined exercises in
the Phillips High school auditorium.
DIR. McAndrew is one of the most
noted educators in America, and has
been described by DIR. G. B. Glenn, city

ham, as ''the new type of scholar" Red

Manhattan Days And Nights
By HERBERT COREY

mics came and spent money like syn
thetic gin and knocked ecstatic elbows
with the leaders of society.
The leaders are, not as worried as
you'd think. They have incorporated
and the little restaurant is earning div
idends on a first class national bank.
Kenneth L. Roberts of the Saturday
Evening Post is laughing about his ex-
perience with Charlie Chaplin. His
mirth is not uncomfortable, however
Between spasms he swells red and 4
light frOth appears on his lips.
Mr.. Roberts," says a friend, visit
ed HollywOod-so well named Moronia
by Karl Kitchen-having in mind the
writing Of few articles about the
movie people who live there.
Would you like to have talk with
Charlie Cha pin :? asked one of the
magnates in dialect.
Mr.. Roberts said yes, he would.
But Mr.. Chaplin sent word that if he
were to touch literary elbows, so to
speak, with lot of the hoi polio of
moviedom, he must decline. If Mr..
ROmerts would agree to devote the en-
tire article to him, Charles Chaplin,
he would consider the matter. If he
decided to receive Mr.. Roberts he would
send word by the court chamberlain
when Mr.. Roberts might wait upon
him."
Which is why Mr.. Roberts is taken
with strong shuddering when he hears
\the Chaplin name.

Every one who heard him grinned.
But those inside the ring were betting.
The word was passed back that it was
a square game, because-A Man. Had
Just Bet Five Hundred Dollars and
Won Thousand! And got away with
it. No one of that sophisticated
group of insiders had ever heard of
cappers and stalls, apparently. County
fair stuff seems to go big on the ave-
nue.. After all, folks are just folks,
no matter where they are.
The one thing that money cannot
buy in New York is exclusiveness,
because just as soon as thing gets
to be really exclusive some one with
more money comes along and crashes
the gate. Yet one must make a Span
ish bow to the leaders of New York So
ciety. They make their ruin pay divi-
dends.
Let us have a very exclusive little
restaurant" said they to each other,
"and keep out the rummies."
So they found a cook who directs
his orchestra of pots and pans in q
silk hat and kid gloves, so to speak,
and spent a hundred thousand dollars
on the architectural features of their
little restaurant and eighty thousand
dollars on wall paintings alone. Halt
a grape fruit-an easy thing to pre-
pare-costs about as much in the little
restaurant as it would in one of the
walled cities of Thibet. Still the rum.

DIR. T.. p. MORDECAI
ACCEPTS PASTORATE
Philadelphia Man Comes To
First Presbyterian

The Rev. DR.. Trevor P. Mordecai of
Philadelphia, Sunday night accepted
from the pulpit a call which had been
extended to him earlier in the day by
the congregation to become pastor of
the First Presbyterian church. The
congregational meeting had been urgent
and hopeful in its desire that he ac-
cept, but the prOmptnesS with which he
responded at the evening service came
as a pleasant surprise to the members.
DIR. Mordecai has been serving the
First Presbyterian for the past month
and although young has continually
won new friends by his personality and
the favor and ability shown in his
sermons. He succeeds the Rev. DR.. j.
A. MacSporran, who left the First
Presbyterian about a year ago to ac-
cept a call in Orange, N. j., and the
Birmingham church has been without
a regular pastor since that time.
DIR. Mordecai, born in Wales, is a
graduate of Princeton university and
since graduation has been an instruc-
tor in psychology there. He has had
several very attractive pastoral calls,
but the church in Birmingham made a
stronger appeal to him than even one
of the Oldest churches in Philadelphia,
which had sought his services. Since
he has been in Birmingham he has been
greeted by remarkably large cOngre-
cations.
DR.. Mordecai said Sunday night that
he would not return to Philadelphia,
but that he would conclude his arrange
ments there from Birmingham and con-
tinue his work at the First Presby-
terrain church here uninterrupted. He
said he would resign at once his po-
sition as teacher of Bible, psychology
and sociology in the BeechwOOd school,
a junior college institution for young
women, where he has been teaching for
several years.
Mrs. Mordecai and their daughter,
Muriel, are already in Birmingham,
and the family is staying temporarily
at the Motion hotel.
