Stain Said;
Causes of Inadequacies.


WASHINGTON, March 5.-Sev-
eral American marines have been
wounded in Honduras and more than
nine square blocks of the city of
Ceiba are in ruins, according to a
report here today.
The report, while uncon6rmed by
the state department, was said to
have been received by the navy de-
partment. There it was said that all
statements must come from Secre-
tary Hughes.
Burning Of Ceiba was said to be
the last move. of the government
troops before abandoning the city.
The battle between government
forces and the army of General Fer
rara is said to have been in progress
before Tegucigalpa. No reports,
however, have been received by the
state department.
Dying for u. S. Plutes.
American marines may be sent to
Tegucigalpa, Honduran capital, to
protect American interests, it was
indicated today at the state depart
ment. Marines were landed last
week at Ceiba following an attack
on the American consulate.
The Boncilla forces under General
Ferrara have surrounded the capital
and are now about to march on the
city, the state department. has been
informed.
In addition to its own people the
American consul at Tegucigalpa is
reported to have taken almost the
entire foreign colony there under its
protection.
There are now three American
vessels in Honduran waters.

peaceful environment, in which the
necessity for the existence of great
military bodies can be dispensed
with.
Insufficient Activity in Nuclei.
Our state apparatus is bureau
cratic, and will remain bureaucratic
for some time to come.
Our Party comrades are working
in this apparatus, and the envision-
ment and atmosphere of this bureau.
cratic apparatus is such that it facil-
itates the development of b%aauc-
racy among our Party functionaries
and Party organizati ms.
The third cause Of the inadeo,la-
cias lies in the iniufIc'ef' activity
Of many Of our nuclei, in the back
wardness and even total illiteracy of
the border districts in particular.
The nuclei in these districts show
little energy, they are pehindhand
politically and culturally. There is
no doubt that this circumstan.a Gre
ates unfavorable conditions for a
change Of line in the Party.
The fourth cause is the lack Of a
! sufficient number Of Party politically
schooled comrades in the provinces.
Not long ago heaId an address
given by the representative of the
Ukrainian organizations in the Gen.
trail. The speaker was an extremely
capable and promising comrade. He
said that out Of 100 nuclei, so pos
sess secretaries appointed by the
leading Party organization Of the
gouvernements.
In reply to an Interpolation to the
effect that these organizations were
not acting rightly in doing this, the
comrade began to explain that there

were no members of the nuclei who
could read or write, OF who had been
members Of the party for any length
of time, and that the nuclei them.
selves beg that secretaries be sent
them, etc.
Provincial Members Lack Training.
/ am willing to admit this comrade
had exaggerated by so per cent; that
the root of the evil does not lie in
the lack of trained members in the
nuclei, but in the fact that the lead
ing organization Of the gouverne-
ments had been following its old ira
ditions and giving the nuclei too
much Of a good thing.
But if the leading Party organiza-
ton for the gouvernements is right
to the extent of SO per cent, does
this not show that if there are such
nuclei in the Ukraine, there are
bound to be many more such in the
border districts, where the organiza-
tions are young, where there are
fewer persons able to read and write
than in the Ukraine?
This is one of the causes which
has prepared favorable conditions
for the distortion, in the provinces,
of the essentially correct lines pre-
scribed by the Party.
And finally, the fifth cause: This
is insufficient information. We in
form badly-above all the Central
perhaps because we are all over
burdened with work. And we are
badly informed as to what is going
on in the provinces. This must
cease. 1t is one of the leading cause:
bringing about inadequacies in tbs
Party.

question Of the self-activity Of the
Party masses for good or i'll, and
the military commands were of SUI
perlative Importance. / cannot recol-
lect that this view has ever been
expressed in so many words. But
none the less it is view whose fun
damental elements at least are a
continual hindrance to our work.
Elimination of Bureaucracy Needed.
Comrades, we must fight against
such views to the utmost Of our
power, for they represent the most
actual danger, and they create con-
ditions which favor the distortion in
actual practice of the correct lines
laid down by the Party.
The second cause consists Of the
existence Of certain pressure on
the part Of our state apparatus,
which is bureaucratic in character,
upon the Party and the Party func-
tionaries.
In 1917, when we were on the up
ward path towards October, we
imagined that we should create a
commune which would be an alliance
Of the workers, that we should do
away with all bureaucracy in the
administration, and that the state
would be able to be converted, if not
Immediately, then in the course of
two or three not too lengthy tran
sitional periods, into an alliance of
the workers. Actual practice has,
however, shown us that this ideal is
still far removed, and that the eman-
cipation of the state from the ele-
ments of bureaucracy, the transfer
nation of Soviet society into an al
lance of workers, calls for high
level Of culture among the popula-
ton, and for perfectly secure and

ShGUiGn Play Press
Agents Medium to
Boost Coming r. u. r.

The value of the stage as means
of radical and revolutionary propa-
ganda is better understood on the
continent of Europe than among Eng
fish speaking peoples. Whatever has
been achieved in this direction, either
in England or America, has been due
largely to the genius and efforts Of
Mr.. Bernard Shaw whose play, the
Devils Disciple" is now being pre-
sented by the Theatre Guild at the
Great Northern Theatre. Mr.. Shaw
is far from being a revolutionist in
this play, but here, as always, his pen
is the pen of social rebel.
"The DEVILS Disciple" is an attack
on Puritanism, a form of religious
faith and practice not so dead as we
radicals like to believe. AS one
watched the interesting presentation
of last Monday evening one felt that
it would be hard to duplicate Mrs.
Dudgeon, no; nor Uncle William, nor
Uncle Titus, in any evangelical
church in Chicago.
The players themselves were, Of
course, not equally convincing; they
never are. Mr.. Sydney as Dick Dud-
geon, and Miss O'Brien Moore as
Judith Anderson, fulfilled our highest
expectations. Miss. Johann as Essie,
and Mr.. Hughes as Anthony Ander-
son were distinct disappointments.
Mr.. Croker King as "Gentlemanly
Johnnie" played a charming role
charmingly. The cast as a whole
worked with that grace and finish
which we never failed to find in Guild
performances.
The organization of the Theatre
Guild marks an epoch in the devel-
opment of the theatre in these states.
/. Socially significant plays had been in
existence almost half century. They
had been translated and read and
sporadically produced but the Guild
was the first group to undertake sys-
tematically their production on the
professional stage. 1t has continued
this effort six years, and its COM
panies have visited Chicago three
times.
Their most notable visit was last
season, in Karel Capek's "R. U. r.,
the most powerful satire on modern
capitalism ever staged. To see "R. U.
R." is to gain a new sense of the
blended terror and majesty Of labor's
struggle. The Robots are resistless
numbers and intelligent guidance
have made them so. They are with
out pity; capitalist civilization has
willed it so. Their one passion is
hate; pain has taught them that.
Their one purpose is work; they un-
derstand no other until they learn
REVOLTl And when they do re-
volt and conquer, what then? What
is it all for? The answer is found in
the epilogue.
wish the Labor Defense Council
all possible success in its plan to
stage this wonderful tragi-comedy
again next April. am glad, too, that
the play is to be Interpreted by a
group of young actors who realize
its value, not alone as a better type
of drama but as message to the
great working class.
