ture and in which they had lots IN
Ransom. The men had been convict
ed and fined in Justices court for
the cutting, and appealed to jury in
the Circuit Court. In doing the cut
ting. the accused stated they acted on
the advice of counsel. who told them
they would be within their rights in
removing any obstruction to the
streets and alleys of their town.
Their operations. however. the evil

SEND 1T ON

A CERTAIN southern community Of
\ very moral people had been loud
and emphatic in its criticism Of the
character of the commercial motion
picture, and equally insistant upon
the need for a censor ito do some
thing about it." The local film ex-
change was much surprised when one
Of the church organizations in this
town sent in for "Lillies Of the Field"
They were told that this film repre-
sented the "demi-monde," and that it
was hardly suited for church pur-
poses"
Send it on" was the reply, I'VE
want to make money"
In reporting this story, The Film
Daily undoubtedly intended to hand
dig to the prurient censorship hunt
ers among the "goody-goody" church
crowd. But they did more-they ex-
posed the basic determinant Of con-
duct in capitalist society-that Of
making money. A church will run

BY N. A. skRoMNY.

WAY back in 1920, while the young
W Soviet Republic was being at
tackled on nineteen different fronts
by the capitalist robbers of the world
in a desperate attempt to destroy the
workers and peasants government,
the Poles invaded the Ukraine. They
captured the capital, Kiev. But like
all the other foreign invaders they
were unable to remain, being driven
out and almost annihilated by the
victorious Red Army.
Altho they remained in the Ukraine
a very short time they did enough
damage to be felt for many years.
While retreating in haste they
paused long enough to destroy public
institutions, to blow up government
buildings, etc. Perhaps the greatest
crime against the poplation committed
by the civilized" invaders was the
blowing up of the bridges over the
River Dnieper connecting the city
with the rural population, the villages

munist organization, a Communist
telegraphic agency. But every pre-
requisite is lacking. At. the present
time our press cannot raise the money
required by such an organization and
Its running expenditure. We must Of
course strive towards the final goal OF
Communist news service. But we
shall not attain this goal all at once,
and meanwhile we must manage
somehow. The following suggestions
may be made for Transitional meas
ures:
1. We must continue to make use
Of the bourgeois sources of informa-
ton. 1t must however not be permit
ted to make use Of the news material
supplied by the bourgeois agencies
without calculating 1t in such man
ner as to render its real import clear
to the workers. The comrades work
ing up this material for our newspa-
pers must themselves be thoroly in
formed on questions of foreign poll
tics. Otherwise we may continue in
the future, as in the present, to per-
NIT our Communist press to act as a
channel for the propaganda of bour-
geois governments.
2. Every party must begin at once
with the organization of an inland in
formation service, commissioned to re-
port on the labor movement Of the
country.
3. The parties must coordinate their
information services, and the larger
parties must endeavor to send report
ers to the more important among the
neighboring countries.
4. The editors of the central organs
of the larger parties must organize a
daily exchange of information with
the aid of the "Inprecorr" Geographic
agency.
5. The 'Inprecorr" telegraphic news
agency must be extended.
THE measures here proposed are by
l. no means exhaustive, and do not
lead rapidly to our goal But they
are at least capable of realization, and
they lead none the less to the goal,
tho slowly,-to the emancipation Of
the Communist press from bourgeois
inuence. 1t is exceedingly difficult
to solve this problem. Here we have
merely drawn the rough outlines of
the question, and briefly indicated the
lines upon which it may be solved.
The problem must however be
solved, if we are to have Bolshevist
press.

Big Victory on Economic Front in u. S. S. r.

Bosh bridge, named after a famous
Ukrainian revolutionists, Eugene Bosh
and the Rusanov bridge.
On May 10th, thousands of workers
and peasants from the nearby villages
came to the bridges to celebrate the
official opening. The trade unions,
the factories, the schools, and other
organizations sent their delegations
and banners to the celebration. Rep
resentatives of the government and
the army participated. Congratula-
tions were read from the central gov
eminent. Speeches were made by
representatives of the workers who
participated in the construction of the
bridge.
Exactly at 1 p. m, the red ribbon
closing the bridge was cut to the
sound of The International played by
