In the following article we pub
fish Comrade Stains answers to
the questions of the Moscow CORE
spondent of the Japanese paper,
Nishi-Nishi. We also give verbat-
i'm the questions of the correspon-
dent.-Ed.
LNIRST question. The Japanese peo-
4 pie, the most advanced among
the peoples of the east, is the one
which is most interested in the move
ment for freedom of the eastern peo-
pie. The Japanese people would
gladly become the ally of the Soviet
Union in this great cause, the cause
of the liberation of the oppressed peo-
pies of the east from the yoke of the
western powers. Nevertheless Japan,
which is after all a capitalist state,
must sometimes act in opposition to
this movement and make one front
with the western powers. Cor in
stance the Anglo-Japanese alliance in
consequence of which Japan must sup
port England in it's struggle against
the insurgents in India, and the COM
mon action of Japan with England,
America and France against the Chin
csc workers in connection with the
recent events in Shanghai)
What in your opinion, is the way
of escape from this complicated sit
uation of the contradiction between
the national ambitions of the Jap
anese people and the public and So
cial order of the Japanese state?
Answer to the first question. 1t is
true that the Japanese people are the
most advanced of the eastern peoples,
and that it is interested in the success
of the movement for the liberation of
the oppressed peoples. The alliance
of the Japanese people with the peo-
pies of the Soviet Union would mean
a decisive step in the cause of the
liberation of the eastern peoples. Such

age. as
AS to the assertion Of Calverton
that Sherwood Anderson is the avatar,
the incarnation of the proletariat, it is
even more ridiculous than his estima-
ton of Whitman. Any Marxist who
reads Anderson's books is bound to
be impressed with the fact that this
novelist deals almost exclusively with
the hopeless struggles Of the petty
bourgeoisie of the small town against
the rise of the machine. PROSTATE
before the machine they rail at their
fate. The exception is when he deals
in true bourgeois style with the sex
struggles of some petty small town
legal luminary and his stenographer.

but there have been many dramas
that deal with the workers. Twenty

The formless talk about proletar-

erudition completely forgets the
simple formula that every working
man learns at the very threshold of
Marxism when he studies the role of
the proletariat in the revolution:
Between the capitalist society and
the Communist society there ensues a
period that can be known as nothing
else than the dictatorship of the pro-

And the task of the proletariat is
not to create new class and new
class culture, but to annihilate all
classes and all class cultures.

ISLE OF PINES
PACT RATIFIED
Senate Action Confirming
Title to Cuba Ends Old
Controversy.

WashingtOn.-By q vote of 81 to IA,
the senate ratified the Isle of Pines
treaty. which fixes the ownership of
the island with the Republic of Cuba.
The ratification of the treaty settles
a controversy which has been on ever
since the end of the Spanish war, and
the treaty has been pending before the
senate since March 3, 1904, when it
was submitted by President Roosevelt
Ratification of the treaty was de-
sired by the Coolidge administration,
in part to promote friendly relations
with Cuba and in part to promote good
relations with all of Latin America.
The senate decided on ratification in
the face of efforts of the opposition
to prevent vote at this session and
despite strong protests from the Amer
leans on the Isle of Pines and owning
property there, who fear their rights
will not be regarded by the Cuban gov
ernment
Borah's Reservation Adopted.
A tWo-thirds vote was needed to rat
ify the treaty. There was not only
the needed number but large group
of votes to spare. The senate, how
ever adopted reservation proposed
by Senator Borah intended to make
the provisions of the Plat amendment
apply TO the Isle of Pines as well as
Cuba and another reservation by Sen
ator Reed of Missouri intended to as
sure for Americans on the Isle of Pines
rights accorded to foreigners who re-
ceive the most favored nation treat
ment in Cuba. N
The treaty was signed March 2, 1904
by John Hay, secretary of state, end
Gonzale de Quesada, then Cuban min
lister.

SENATE REJECTS
. CHARLES WARREN
Vice President Reaches
Chamber Too Late to
Prevent Defeat.

Washington. Lack of just one vote,
which could have been supplied by
Vice President Dawes had be been
present, resulted in the rejection by
the senate of Charles Beecher Warren
for attorney general.
With roll call allowing 40 for con-
hrmation and 40 against, President
Pro Tempore George H. Moses fought
vainly against stentorian demands
from the Democrats that the vote be
announced, while messengers searched
frantically for Vice President Dawes,
who was known to be in the Capitol
bvflding.
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania hur-
riedly changed his vote from aye to
no as it was realized that a tie vote
under the senate rules means rejec-
tlon. This made the vote Al for reJec-
ton to 80 for confirmation, but 1t en-
abled Senator Reed to move that the
vote be reconsidered. This attempt to
gain time failed also, however. for
Senator Walsh moved to table this
motion.
AT this point Senator Overman OF
North Carolina, the only Democrat
who had voted for confirmation, moved
back to his party alignment, and voted
to lay on the table.
Nine Republicans and one Farmer
Labor member Senator Shipstead,
joined all of the Democrats present
bus one, Senator Overman. in voting
Mr.. Warren down. These were Borah
Of Idaho, BroOkhart of Iowa, Couzens
of Michigan. Frazier and Laid OF
North Dakota, McNIasters and Nor
beck of South Dakota, Johnson OF Cal
ifornia and Norris of Nebraska. The
vote came at the end of debate in
which attacks were made on the Mich
igan man for his connection with the
sugar trust and particularly with the
late FL. O. Havemeyer.
Old-timers asserted that this Is the
first time President has been refused
senatorial approval Of his own choice
for his official family for nearly sixty
years.
Decision on the confirmation was
reached after fives o'clock following d
long and vitriolic debate and bitter at
tack on Mr.. Warren because of his re-
lations to the so-called trust. Sena-
tors Walsh of Montana, and Reed of
Missouri led in these attacks.
The close of the struggle and the
voting was dramatic in the extreme
with excitement intense.
In explanation of the absence OF
Vice President Dawes, it was said he
had been told by the leaders on both
sides there would be no vote in the
afternoon. He came into the chamber
from his Office just after the tabling
Of the motion to reconsider had been
announced and took the chair. but 1t

Wheat Suffers Greatest
Break in History of Board

Chicago. Wheat suffered the great
est break in the history of the Chicago
Board of Trade on an unprecedented
turnover of grain and without any
news to account for it in Fridays
trading May wheat prices here were
AN cents to Is cents bushel lower
than on Thursday when the close
came, with the days bottom 80 cents
under the high point of the season.
