The NeuU Brain TwiSter

The cross word puzzle has a serious competitor
in Washington political circles. The wives daugh-
tiers, friends poor relatives and other liabilities
of the politicians and diplomats who live in and
on the Capitol have put their cross word puzzles
on the shelf and now devote themselves to the
task Of solving the question, whether or not this
government is entangled in European politics
1t all happened because the unofficial official
representatives of the Coolidge administration
signed with the allied powers, an agreement af-
fecting the collection Of PREPARATIONS from Ger
many under the Dawes, plan. According to London
dispatches, Winston Churchill, British represen-
tative, pulled the wool over Ambassador Kelloggs
eyes by handing him lot of taffy and commenting
favoraby on the amount of gray matter he carried
under his hat Kellogg rose to the occasion in
stantly like well-trained sucker, and put his
John Hancock where Churchills index finger
pointed. The French and the British thereupon
began to wink at each other and said substantially
eve got the Yankee by the shirt tail" The French
and British feel it will be easier for them to
soak Germany with the signature of the United
States attached to the dunning bill.
But the policy of official participation in foreign
entanglements," as the capitalist demagOgues like
to put it, is not popular in the United States and
is bad vote-catching bait So, when the London
and Paris dispatches came chuckling to Washing
ton the wise heads in the Coolidge baliwick began
to snffle danger. Hence the difference of opinion ;
one set of politicians saying: 1--WE are entanged,"
and the administration set saying: eve are as
free as the air."
But as the Moscow Pravda points out, the United
was not unwittingly drawn into the Dawes plan
ENHANCEMENT. Wall Street is bursting with gold
and needs new outlets for its surplus The policy
of isolation no longer works. Political factors
must be taken into consideration, but the world
is none too large for American capitalism and the
policy of isolation must go by the board. Coolidge
and his masters are simply getting the United
States used to participation in "foreign entangle
ments" 1t is already in in fact if not officially.

MUSIC.
BY ALFRED v. FRANKENsTEIN

The unfinished quartet of Ernes'
Chausson was given its first perform
ance in Chicago last Wednesday al
ternoon, on the second program OF
this season of the Gordon string quar-.
tet, given in the foyer of Orchestra
Hall.
This quartet of Chausson is much
like his symphony. That means it
is highly concentrated emotional ex-
preston, the expression of some great
tearing necessity within the man to
give vent to his feelings in tone.
There is no resisting Chausson. He
sweeps one away so completely that
one cannot analyze his music intel
lectually as one hears 1t. And it is
because of this appeal directly to
the heart and not to the head that
makes Chausson, however, few Of his
works, one of the great composers Of
modern times.
The Beethoven quartet, opus 1872,
followed the Chausson. 1t might have
been that the writer had not recuper-
ated from the Frenchman's compost
ton, but it seemed as the Beethoven
were infinitely inferior to it. The
first movement has the typically trou-
bled, nervous touch of Beethoven al
legro, but the third section, which is
the slow movement, is so long drawn
out that it seems endless.
The Gordon quartet is composed of
four members of the Chicago Sym
ebony orchestra, Jacques Gordon, first
violin; John Weicher, second violin;
Clarence Evans, viola, and Alfred
Wallenstein, violincello. The playing
of this organization has the elegance
and the fineness that comes with such
close association as these four men
experience.

perity is on the upgrade. 1t is the workers. pros
perity. They have a dictatorship. 1t is their own
dictatorship, real democracy. 1t is dictatorship
of the many in the interests of the many. Russia
is no longer torn by civil war and devastated by
famine, it is no longer a horrible example 1t is
beacon light to the workers of the world.

Communist Leadership

The labor takers are bitter against the Com
munists not alone because they advocate the over
throw of capitalism, under which the takers are
doing nicely, but because the Communists insist
on getting the workers into action against the
capitalists now, to wrench more of the products of
their labor from the exploiters. The takers stand
in the way of any action of this sort They are not
labor leaders in the real sense They are agents
of the bosses and the last thing they want to see
the workers do is fight against the bosses.
The Communists are not content with carrying
on desultory propaganda against capitalism in
general among the workers. They have a program
for immediate action as well as for the ultimate
goal. They know that the masses require leader
hip. They will have either the leadership of the
dictionaries, which they have now, or they will
ave the leadership of the progressives, which is
communist leadership. This means the unhorsing
# the present reactionary jockeys and that is
yhere the Communists hit the takers right where
hey live. This accounts for the campaign of ex-
usions against the Communists. But in spite of
Ill the efforts of the takers the Communists are
making progress.
The Communists have nominated slate for the
elections in the International Association of Ma
chinists. julius Emme, of st. Paul. is the candidate
for president Tim Buck of Canada for general
secretary Lodge "a of the Machnsts' Union, at
its last meeting, endorsed the entire left wing
slate.
! This is only one example Of the reDirth of in
surgency in the ranks of organized labor. Whereas
in former years such developments were eaderless
and ineffective because the efforts were not co.
ordinated, today the Trade Union Educational
League is giving direction to the rebellious move
ment within the trade union and organizing it on
national scale.
This accounts for the desperate efforts of the
takers to drive the Communists, the leaders of the
revolt, out Of the unions But their efforts will be
in vain.

President Ebert disclaims that he

would be a contradiction Of his whole

losom, the witness Scheidemann will
explain everything.
Scheidemann has done so. At the
hearing of the trial on December IL
he deposed that it was thanks to the
social democratic party that the mon

on the strike committee, then this
court would probably not be sitting
today, and the war and everything
else, according to my firm conviction,
would have been already settled in
January, 1918" These are the ac-
