TRADE TIES ARE
KNITTING ORIENT
TOSOvIETR RUSSIA
Commerce Thrives with
Persia and Far East
(Rosta News Agency.)

(RoSta News Agency.)
MOSCOW, April 9.-The Russo
Oriental Chamber of Commerce has
been in existence year. 1t has done
much to stimulate trading activities
between the Union of Soviet Re-
publics and the countries of the
East.
During the war other countries
contrived to get possession of east
ern markets which had previously
been dependent on Russian trade.
The resumption of large scale Rus
sian trade with the Eastern coun-
tries is very important from the
point of view of helping to save the
latter from economic and even
political exploitation by monopolist
Western nations.
Persia at Baku Fair.
The chamber has been most sue
cessful in stimulating Russian trade
with Persia. At the Baku fair, for
instance, Persian exhibits totalled
2,S20 tons in 1923, compared with
440 tons in 1922. Persian traders
purchased $450, 900 worth of Russian
goods, 25 per cent Of the total Rus
sian goods sold at the fair in 1923.
At the Mini -Novgorod fair, 76
Persian wholesale traders were rep
resented in 1928, compared with 20
in 1922, 20 in 1914, and % in 1913.
While the total quantity of goods
exhibited at the fair was 40 per cent
larger in 1898 than in 1922, the
amount of Persian goods exhibited
was eight times as great as in the
previous year. Business men from
Eastern countries in general bought
goods to the value of more than
100000 at the fair.
The establishment in Persia of
the Russo-Persian Bank resulted
from representations made by the
chamber, which was also largely
responsible for the organization of
the Russian section of the Teheran
exhibition, to which 1900 Russian
exhibits were sent. 1t has done much
to stimulate trade with Bokhara,
Khorassan and Afghanistan. Plans
for the development of trade with
Turkey are. now being considered,
and Russian delegation is about to
be sent to Angora.
Displace u. S. and England.
In the Far East, trade with Mon
golia has been restored, largely at
the expense of Chinese, British and
American interests. Commercial
relations have been resumed with
Western China, which is An import
ant source Of supply Of many raw
materials. Business men from West
ern China were prominent at the
Nijni-Novgorod fair. There is a
promising market for Russian cotton
goods, sugar, oil, matches, goloshes
and crockery. 1t is interesting to
recall that in 1918 Russian exports
to Western China amounted to g.
$4,000 roubles, and imports to
5,129,000 roubles.
During the working year 1929,
Russian trade with Eastern coun-
tries amounted to nearly 40 per cent
of the pre-war figure.

Munich Children
20 Pct. TubercuL0r,
Pamphlet ShOICs

A most frightful picture of the
working class children in Germany
is reported by the International
Workers Aid in a pamphlet just
issued.
DR.. W. A. Horsley Cannt, who
was in Russia with the American
Relief administration for the last
six months investigating health
conditions in Germany, is quoted as
follows:
'The contrast between the health
conditions in Germany and Russia is
that Russia is just getting over her
crisis while Germany has reached
hers. went into half dozen chill
Dusseldorf. Three-fourths of the
children were sick, not from any
common children's diseases, but
from sicknesses such as ricketts,. The
wizened, expressionless faces, mar
row chests, covered with skin so
flabby that it folded over the bones
like a cloak, their reformed and
twisted bodies often too apathE tic
and weak to cry. were characteris-
tics present in nearly every child
In one hospital in which there were
115 children, saw every child and
had their weights and ages record
ed. The average age was three years
but the weight was that Of a child
twelve months old"
Seventy-eight per cent of the chill
dren are tubercular.
A QUESTIONABLE sent out to the
schools of four cities revealed the
fact that in Munich 20 per cent of
the children are suffering from tu-
berculosis. In Dresden 285 pupils
out Of 1900 were suffering from
curvature Of the spine due TO mall
nutrition. In Nuremberg, G.000 out
Of the 1850 were undernourished.
The international Workers Aid is
bringing assistance 10 the German
children. All workers should sup
port their campaign.

representing the actual youth of the
Party. There is no question Of old
papas, anxious TO force their chill
dren to be good and obedient! The
old Bolshevist guard is not so stupid
as all that. But all the same it
holds place of some significance in
the international, and has given suf-
fcient proof that it is able to rear
e Bclshevist party.
The Youth in the Party.
Then what Is our conflict about
The two-fold current may be observ-
ed among our youth. The whole
youth of the working class is on our
side. This is an established fact.
The working youth of Moscow,
Petrograd, Ukraine and the Ural,
as also the working youth Of all the
other industrial centers, nave Joined
the "old guard" without hesitation,
and have catgorscally deElared:
Take care, these older ones are our
teachers!"
The student youth, on the other
hand, has Immediately split into two
camps.
In Moscow there has even been
majority against the old Bolshevist
guard among the student youth. An
interesting and remarkable phenom-
enon. Our, students include g great
number of workers, but also many
petty bourgeois elements. The SYM
pathies of the students have thus
been divided between two camps.
Whilst one party has supported US,
another has opposed US. The latter
party Immediately issued the war
cry of; Youth on one side, age on
the other. but we know no problem
of youth or age, but solely a prob
lem of the political line, the one and
only question which exists for us.

wage campaign that the unem-
ployed should be guaranteed the
necessities of life at the expense of
the wealth created by the workers in
the industry; they are satisfied with
the good promises of the employers
covering an entire industry; they
make different kinds Of agreements
in every craft.
Lefts VS.. Rights.
We say that the unions must de-
eide upon maximum standards so as
to guard the workers in the shops
from the speed-up system; they
readily accept minimum standards
that tax the workers strength to the
limit.
We stand for week work; they do
not object to piece-work.
We demand democracy in the un-
ions; they want to perpetuate bu-
reaucracy.
We demand proportionate repre-
sentation on joint boards and at con-
ventions; they want the small locals,
which they can easily control, to
overrule the will of the majority of
the membership.
We hold that union officials must
first and foremost fight for higher
wages for the workers; they are in
terested only in higher wages for the
officials of the machine.
We demand freedom of opinion
for all tendencies both at union
meetings and in the union press;
they pursue a policy of suppressing
the opinions Of their opponents.
We demand unified activity of all
groups in the interest of the union
they persecute their opponents and
expel them from the union.
We aim to build and strengthen
our unions; they follow a policy of
demoralizing and disrupting the or
ganization.
We fight for the interests of the
rank and file; they fight only for
their personal interests at the ex-
pense of the workers.
We are the Lefts; they are the
Rights.

apply your scientific knowledge to
practical life?"
Preobrazensky can, of course,
earn cheap applause for such words
among a section Of the students,
who have perhaps studied Marks
Capital" for half year, but have
not yet ruled the country. This sec
tion of the students is somewhat
displeased with us because we do not
offer them the immediate possibility
of putting theory into practice. But
such methods of agitation are moth
ing more nor less than mere vulgar
demagogy. Preobrazensky's pro-
ceedings, too, are simply explieable
by the lack Of more serious argu-
ments,
Demagogy Must Cease.
In a country of Russias dimen-
sions, in which there are so few
Marxists, so few people who can
read and write properly, in which
there is such a tremendous demand
for people possessing real knowl-
edge-to stand up before youthful
students in such country and to
declare to them; After you have
passed thru this university, you will
find no opportunity for the app.ica-
tion Of our knowledge-this is mere
vulgar demagogy.
1t is no great feat to attract by
such cheap bait those strata of our
students whose petty bourgeois ide-
ology is still very strong. These
methods remind US almost too
strongly of the .lmilar methods
practiced by the right wing Of in
ternational socialism. / believe that
have no need to prove this.

Carpenters Refuse to
Work With s C a b
Building Material

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 9.-The
carpenters Of this vicinity have de-
clared war on the attempted domina-
ton Of their jobs by the Master
Builders Association, cffecting a gem
eral strike Of $500 men. Independent
firms have already come to terms,
agreeing to pay the carpenters eleven
dollars per day. The strike is hold
ing up all construction work being
carried on by members Of the Master
Builders Association.
One Of the main points Of dispute
is the insistence Of the Association
that materials used in construction
come from non-union firms. The car
penters refuse TO work on jobs which
require the use of scab material.

Russ Singers o. X,
EUen in Gypsy Role
By ALFRED V. FRANKENsTEIN.

By ALFRED V. FRANKENSTEIN.
Ivan Dnieproff, tenor of the Rus
sian opera company, sang at a con-
cert held in Pilsen Hall under the
direction of Jack Pfefer last Sunday
night. Dnieproff, tho Russian,
sings many Italian opera roles, and
sings them with a spirit and fire
difficult to find in many another
operate tenor. He sang arias from
Martha" and 'Tosca" in a way
that leaves the tenors of the San
Carlo and Chicago companies far
behind. Dnieproff has been engaged
to sing Italian and French operas
with the Chicago next season, where
he will fill the long felt want of an
adequate lyrical tenor.
Olga Pozello, Russian balladist,
occupied most of the program. Her
style of singing the sentimental
songs she chose reminds one much
of the famous Isa Kremer. Tho her
voice is a trifle harsh in quality, her
Interpretation, which manages to
stay away from the banal tho it is
sentimental enough, makes up for
that.
Gabriel Krizanovski and Nine.
Pozello sang for the first time in
Chicago a duet arranged by them
selves from. Russian gypsy folk
songs. They were not what one ex-
poets of gypsy songs, for they were
of the lingering sweetness, long en-
during sort of sentimental ballad.
But the sweetness was not prolonged
to the sour stage.
The program was rounded out by
Ida Divanoff, violinist with big
tone, and dramatic qualities of in
depreciation.

this point, comrades, you yourselves
