Prohibition is usually blamed for
most of the ills from which this
country is suffering, but here's a new
one. Richard Strauss, famous COM
poser, believes that Puritan influence
is what hampers the development of
American opera, and he declares the
opera is the very center of musical
life" There is a marked difference
between the level of artistic attain

Due TO Puritan influence, the opera
is in America, not the core of musical
life, but rather something standing
somewhat apart. This Is regrettable.
American musical life can only reach
its highest fruition il 1t is founded
upon the opera"

AS WE SEE IT
BY 7. J. o'FLAHERTY

THE British tories have something
\ else to worry about just now be-
sides plotting war against Soviet
Russia. Even IL the threatened strike
does not materialize now, it cannot be
postponed for long. The condition of
British capitalism is such that it can
not survive, except at the, further ex-
pense of the workers standard of liv-
ing. 1t appears that the workers are
tired of allowing themselves to be
sacrificed 'tfor the good Of the en-
pire."
NOBODY can predict what may de-
y velop out of the present industrial
crisis in England. It is different by
far to any Of those great upheavals
that preceded it. There is a purpose
behind the movements Of the workers
today that was previously lacking.
They see before their eyes in the
splendid progress being made in the
Soviet Union an example of what the
workers can do If they only have the
will. They certainly have the way.
THE income of the Soviet Union has
4 surpassed that of the Cars govern
ment in 1918. 1t has reached the colos-
sal sum of two billion dollars. And
that money is going to be used to de-
velop Soviet agriculture and industry
to educate the masses to improve their
social conditions and to defend their
government. No rouble of it will go
to forge chains for the producing
classes as is the case with the revenue
of capitalist countries.
WEHILE the economy of Britain,
w France and Germany is on the
downgrade, that of the Soviet Union
is going up. British capitalism can
only continue to exist only if the
workers agree to less wages, as well
as work longer hours. But the Soviet
Union becomes stronger as the stan
dard of living of the workers and
peasants rises. And this can only
come about thru increased production
But the workers and peasants having
the control Of Russian industries are
interested in increasing production,
the benefits of which they receive.
THEREFORE, the present industrial
4 crisis in Britain carries more
sinister meaning to the capitalists
than other strikes that took place be-
fore the Soviet Republic was estab-
lished, or even after it was estab-
.lished, and when it was hanging on
