Bostonians Brave
Severe Storm to See
Russian Film Show

BOSTON, Jan. 25.-Great enthusi-
asm was displayed at the showing of
the first Proletkino production, 1.-THE
Beauty and the Bolshevik." In the
sumptuous symphony hall the audi
ence stood up in honor Of the interna-
tional which was rendered, at the
opening Of the show. by the organ
list. On the beautiful concert organ.
This made a very deep impression
upon the audience, and after that, the
applause for the first glimpse Of Rus
STA In Overalls was tremendous. In
spite Of the fact that every one came
in drenched and cold from the bitter
storm that started in the late after
noon and continued all night the audi
ence was the most cheerful and en-
thusiastic that symphony hall has had
in a long time.
AS for the response Of those pres
ent when Beauty and the Bolshevik
was flashed on and the village life of
the Russian peasant and land owner
was shown the house came down with
applause. Every one is still talking
about the picture in Boston and in
quiring when the next picture pro-
duced by the Proletkino will come to
Boston.

MANY New York readers are
lVl wondering why the DAILY
WORKER does not appear regular
ly every day on the news stands,
The explanation Is really quite sim
Pile.
The paper Is distributed TO the
stands by the Metropolitan News
Co. which has tremendous maehln-
cry covering the entire MetropoI-
ltan area and which begins its work
right after midnight. In order to
catch the days distribution the DAI-
LY WORKER has to arrive In New
York before midnight the night be-
fore. u II comes later, then II has
to walt Till the next day.
Now the only train that makes
the trip from Chicago to New York
after the DAILY WORKER Is print
ed that arrives In New York In time
to catch the MetropoItan's delivery
service Is not a through mall train,
but has to make connections In
Cleveland and Buffalo. " Il falls TO
make either Of these connections
then the Daily can not appear on
the New York news stands the next
morning.
There is no way to remedy thIs
just At present But within a few
weeks II will be done by printing

By EARL r. RRoWDER.

MANY Negro comrades have writ
ANA ten letters of protest against a
communication published on Jan. II,
in the letter column, signed by l.. Rob
ertson. The latter's communication
was directed against previous letter
by Negro comrades. Both sides have
demonstrated why the capitalists find
it easy to pit one race against another
1T is because the consciousness that
all of us are members of the same
exploited class is not yet realized
keenly enough among all Of us. Rob
ertsons letter is most in the wrong,
however, as he fiagrantly misquotes
the letter Of the Negro comrades.
The DAILY WORKER cannot be
the channel for pointless argument as
to who said this and that, and whether
one or the other was right or wrong.
So we have to tell all the indignant
comrades that their letters are receiv-
ed but not published. Further con-
troversy would be useless. The policy
OF the DAILY WORKER is clear, and
so is the policy Of the Workers Party
and the Communist International. We
are champions Of the oppressed Negro
workers, and because the Negro con.
stitutes one of the most exploited sec
lions of the working class, therefore
we are especially interested in the
Negro-just as we consider more the

WORKERS SCHOOL
TO HAVE LECTURE
BY OLCIN JAN. II
Subject Is ''Leninism VS..
Trotskyism"

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-"The Inter-
nal Controversies Within the Russian
Communist Party" will be the subject
of lecture by Moissaye j. Olgin at
the Workers School, 2OS East 18th
ST., on Tuesday, Jan. 9th, P. M.
The Importance of this question to
the revolutionary working-class move
ment cannot be overestimated. In the
great task of building powerful Com
munist parties, there must be a clear
understanding of what we mean by
Leninism by Bolshevist principles and
tactics.
Comrade Olgin, who has had first
hand contacts in Russia recently, has
studied the question, and is we'll quail
flied to analyze the situation, will deal
in his lecture with the issues involv-
ed in the conflict within the Russian
Communist Party. He will show the
fundamental difference in the ten
denotes manifested, and will explain
the significance of Leninism versus
Trotzkyism.
No New York militant should miss
this opportunity to hear Olgin. Dur
ing this week, when all over the
world workers are commemorating
the death of the great leader of the
international proletariat, the subject
is especially timely and fitting.
This is the fourth lecture in the
series on the Russian Revolution
which Comrade Olgin is givingsat the
Workers School on alternate Tues
days. Admission for single lecture is
rs cents.

enterprising city editor sent a sob sis

gentle lady, the gun mans wife, could
hardly be prevented from discussing
the eclipse of the sun rather than the
shooting Of her husband. But the re-

was race propaganda. You're wrong,
Comrade Robertson. The Neg COM
rades were quite correct when they
said that many white workers are stu
pid and ignorant That is the reason
why they are still enslaved by CAPT

ignorant they would throw off the cap

become enlightened that is what they
will do.
Comrade Doty and his co-writerg

stupid and ignorant Nor did they
maintain that the Negroes are all so
enlightened as to be Communists. In

LONDON, Jan. 25.-EngIish
captains of industry are be-
coming alarmed at the situation
forced on them by their own
stupid policy toward SovietRus-
STA.
The recognition Of Soviet
Russia by Japan and the con-
tinued hostile attitude assumed
toward Soviet Russia by the
Baldwin government have lost
them trade advantages.
All trade with England has been
stopped by the Soviet council Of COM
missars, who have proclaimed an
economic boycott against England, a
news dispatch arriving by way Of
Copenhagen declares. The economic
boycott is to continue until diplomatic
relations between Russia and Great
Britain become better, the dispatch
stated and all orders are to be d.
verified from England to France and
Germany by the trade commissaries.
Alarmed at Russo-Japan Pact.
The foreign Office here, which ex-
presses the sentiment of the large
bankers and industrialists, is partic-
ularly alarmed over the clause in the
Russo-Japanese treaty providing that
each country guarantees benevolent
neutrality in the event the other is
involved in war with another power.
The foreign Office here has an
nounced that the agreement might
conflict with the Geneva protocol if
that instrument is ever adopted and
If Russia was declared an "aggressor"
by the league of nations. Japan is
bound by its membership in the league,
in such case, to engage in economic,
financial and moral pressure against
the power to which Japan has prom
Used benevolent neutrality" The Bald
win government has suffered from it's
stupid policy of hostility toward Sow
let Russia, and is eating sour grapes
by attempting to show that Japan
signed an illegal" treaty.
EngIand's Troubles.
Meanwhile England is having its
troubles with the Geneva protocol
There is not a country in the world,
however small, of which blockade
would affect the American interests"
says the London Times, in favoring
the amendment of the protocol. ut
might, and probably would, bring a
clash or cause complications between
the blockaded state and those who
wished to pursue their normal trade"
The foreign Office argues that the
Geneva protocol as it stands is futile
because the United States is liable to
run counter to the decisions of the
league of nations. Most Englishmen
rightly attach great Importance to the
maintenance of friendly relations to
the United States" says the London
Times.
U. s. Disturbs Peace.
Japanese statesmen are exerting
pressure on Washington to prevent
the naval maneuvers of the American
fleet in Pacific waters. Tetichi Sugita,
members of the Japanese house Of
peers, has sent a letter to Congress
man Britten, urging him to endeavor
to prevent the fleet maneuvers, which
are called by the Japanese statesman
"a menace to the peace of the Far
East"
The world economic and commercial
situation is revolving about the Paci-
fic, and Soviet Russia at present has
more influence in the Far East than
any other world power.
