SOVIET RUSSIA
EXPECTS CLOSER
TIE WITH LATvIA

Moscow (By Tass.) - The new
Soviet minister at Riga, Chornykh, in
presenting his credentials to the
Latvian president, pointed out that
nav prospects were being opened in
mutual relations between the USSR
and Latvia promising to be mutually
beneficial to both sides. 1t was with
much satisfaction, he said, that the
Soviet government took note Of the
growing tendencies among Latvian
circles in favour of closer economic
ties with the Soviet Union.
In reply, President Tchakste stated
that the Latvian people and the gov
eminent were ever striving to keep
up close relations with their great
neighbor republic and welcomed
every step that could promote CO.
operation and economic rapproach-
ment Of both peoples.
Should Stop AntI-soviet Acts.
Commenting on the statement re-
Gently made to press representatives
by Mr. Moyerowiez, Latvian minister
OF foreign affairs, while he was in
Vienna, namely that Latvia looked
upon herself as a link between West
and East and, as such, wished to be
in a position to meet the economic
requirements of her neighbors from
both sides, the Moscow papers express
the wish that the Latvian govern
ment should live-up to these good
intentions and for ever leave off
harboring any plans of aggressive
anti-Soviet alliances.
Closer Railway Relations.
In particular, the Soviet press de-
clares itself ready to welcome, if
genuine, the desire of the Latvian
government, voiced by their foreign
minister. to improve railway ties with
the USSR in order to help promote
economic relations between the West
ern European countries and the Soviet
Union.

WORLD RESEARCH
BUREAU NOW IN
SOVIET RUSSIA
To Exchange Data on
Economics

MOSCOW, U. s. S. R.-The rapid
growth Of econcEniefand cultural reIa-
tlons between the Soviet Union and
the rest of the world has caused the
need for the organization Of special
research work In the domain Of world
economics. In Germany there have
long since been in existence special
Institutes for the study Of the econ.
omic situation OF Eastern Europe lat
5resIau, konigsberg etc).
A number of central scientific insti.
tutions of Western Europe and Amer
lea, not to speak of''individual scient-
lists, are constantly enquiring about
the economic situation in U. S. S. R.
There is similari interest on the part
of Soviet organs to study the econom-
ic situation of the world.
There has now been organized a
special economic research department
by the state planning commission
(Gosplan) of the U. S. S. R., whose
task is to make a systematic and
thoro-going study of all the dynamic
and static economic processes on a
worldwide scale, and on this basic
to establish the reciprocal effect of
economic phenomena as between the
U. S. S. R. and the other countries.
Informs Of Economic Situation
The state planning commission is
the supreme organ which regulates
the national economy of U. S. S. R.,
co-ordinates it's individual branches,
and outlines the course of its further
development. An essential part OF
the Caspian Is the ,so-called Council
on Conjunctures,' which studies the
combined action Of the world-econ.
omic factors that serves as the OBJ.
jective basis for all new economic
measures.
The Conjuncture Council receives
telegraphic reports from all parts OF
the Soviet Union, and on this basis il
draws up every month a general esti
mate of the economic situation of the
Union. Another important section Of
the Conjuncture Council is the sta
tistical apparatus which calculates tbs
indexes of wholesale prices, published
under the title of "Gosplan Indexes"
The close contact existing between
the economic research department
and the Conjuncture Council enable:
the department to furnish systematic
information to interested organs III
Western Europe about the economic
situation in U. SIS. R., in exchange
for similar information by Western
institutions on the economic situation
in their respective countries.
Connections With U. S.
The department is now establish
ing connections with scientific insti
tutions in Europe and America en-
gagged in similar researches, IN order

SCIENCE BOWS
TO THE RUSSIAN
Academy WORK
Leaders Present at the
2OOth Anniversary

MOSCOW, --(Tass) - interviewed
by representatives. of the press with
regard to the jubilee Of the Academy
of Sciences, Academieian oldenburg,
the permanent secretary Of the AGA
DENY, made the following obserya-
tions:
Il may state that letters Of foreign
scientists exchanged with our Acade-
my with regard to it's jubilee prove
their sincere and friendly attitude to
the Academy and confirm their recog.
milton of the fact that the Russian
Academy OF Sciences has contribut-
ed good share to the progress Of
the world culture
Having started it's work two hun
bred years ago as foreign institu-
ton the Academy gradually began to
be replenished with exclusively Rus
sian forces. But this did not make
it narrowly national institution, the
international character OF its work,
even in its most essential part OF
studying the nature and peoples OF
our country, is quite clear to every
body. This is also reflected in greet
ings which we receive from abroad"
Referring to one or two solitary
notes of distrust struck by a very
few foreign papers, such as the
Journal DIES Debats, Oldenburg re-
marked that this has been inspired
by political combinations.
Prominent soleptists Present
Il am no politician" he said, land
shall never take part in political con-
troversies; we, Russian men of
science, devote our lives and all our
forces to our motherland and our
| people We want that science should
progress in our Union. and that our
Academy should work on as before,
and even more intensively in its
third centenary. Separate hostile
voices do not trouble US, as we are
certain that all our Western and East
ern friends feel with US In this re-
spect
AT our celebration feast we shall
see, as we already know it, many Of
the most prominent leaders Of con-
temporary science; we shall be glad to
show them what we have done and
and what we are going to do"

Glier has written music for folk
songs Of Azerbaijan, an opera entitled

Aristophanes' "Linistrata" etc. Ge-
dixie has completed his thir romantic
symphony, series of Russian folk
songs for two voices with the accom-
payment of violin. cello and forte
piano,
Ippolitov-Ivanov has written a sym
phonic poem entitled lie Lac dan

Panther's Skin after the libretto by
the Georgian poet Shot-Rustavei
Mayakovsky has completed his 9Th,
7th and 9Th symphonies, In which he
forsook the classical symphony for
the more versatile poetical form.
Post-Revolutlon Composer.
Particularly prolific were the young
composers who came to the front
chiefly after the revolution. Alexan-
drov has written five fortepiano So
natas, string quartet, and suite to
the play Blue Beard" Borkhman,
one of the few followers of the Ger
man romantic school In the Soviet
Union, has completed symphonic
poem entitled "Kusum." Lobatchov
has written q series of songs for chill
dren and arranged series Of folk
songs of different peoples. Sabaneyev,
one Of the few Wagnerites in Russia,
has produced fortepiano trio, soma
tas, etc. Sheninshin has written COM
positions chiefly for the children's
theater, also romances, fortepiano
miniatures, etc.
Prominent among the young COM
posers are Netchayev, the author Of a
string quartet; Polovinkin, Shebalin,
Sherinsky, Knipper, Mosolov, Abram-
sky, and others.
A unique place is occupied by the
composers Alexandra Krein and Gnes-
sin, who are cultivating the old Jew
ish song and working on the new Jew
ish musical style.
Folk Songs.
OF tremendous interest is the work
produced by the two ethnographical
composers, Paskhelov, who gathered
and harmonized collection of folk
songs of Great Russia, Crimea and
Tartaria, and Zatayevitch, who has
collected 1000 Kirghiz songs and har-
monized a series of Kirghiz melodies
for the fortepiano.
In a line distinct from the pro-
fessional composers, so to speak, are
the so-called "proletarian musicians"
writing almost exclusively musical
pieces on revolutionary themes.
Among these should be mentioned:
Kortchmarev, Lazarev, Krasev, Shul-
gin, Klyatchko, Turenkov, Kasyanov
and others. Their common features
are the simple Russian folk melody,
very simple harmony, and themes
taken from modern life.
Revival of Operas.
In recent years there has also been
revival in the creation of operas.
There appeared the opera THE Silver
Prince" by Triodin latter the novel
by A. Tolstoy), "Lacheps Loment" by
