NRIMEA, Oct. 10 (By Mail) 1t is
~ 80 often stated abroad that the
money raised for the British coal
strike is sent by the Soviet govern
ment and not by the Russian workers,
that my own experiences, travelling in
the past two months over thousand
miles or more Of the Soviet Union. on
entirely different business, may be H.
Illuminating.
Two months ago was travelling on
a steamer on the Volga-two days
Journey east of Moscow. At present |
am sick in a sanitarium In the Crimea,
two days journey south of Moscow.
A space of four days travel, and q
time of two months-yet in all OF
that time have been under the con-
slant impact OF the campaign for rails
ing funds.
Workers Interested.
On the river Volga is trade union
the water transport workers. They
have theiy own daily newspaper,
printed for all the water transport
workers of the Soviet Republic. A
column or two in this paper was de-
voted to reports of contributions and
explanations about the meaning OF the
coal strike in England.
On. the steamer were some 40 work
ers, members OF this union The sec
rotary of the Communist Party (there
were ten Communists among these
40 workers) called a meeting Of the
workers. He said that other workers
we're giving from a quarter Of days
pay to a full days pay. He urged
them not to be backward. They dis
cussed the question freely and voted
to give half days pay to help the
miners.
Teachers Solicit.
INCUR weeks later was IN a chill
i dren's colony near Moscow when
one Of the younger teachers aD-
preached me. She also was collecting
for the British miners. She had a
! long list Of all the employees IN the
institution and all Of the friends and
neighbors who might come under the
sphere Of influence of the colony. OBJ
posite each persons name was written
the amount they gave. Contributions
ranged from a few kopeks donated by
the washwoman who supported a
good-sized family on a very small
number Of rubles per month to two or
three rubles given by the most highly
paid members of the staff.
you are supposed TO give days
pay II you can" she told me, but OF
course people who are hard up don't
give so much. want to get everyone

and no one so far has refused"

Of tho National Association for Ad-
vancement Of colored People.
TT seems that some OF our dailies
1 Cnotably an editorial In the New
York World OF Oct. 9TH are trying to
minimize the awful Significance of the
fact that two colored boys and girl
were lynched in South Carolina after
one OF the boys had been declared
not guilty OF murder and when it was
reasonable to expect that the other
boy and the girl would also be freed
Of the charge.
The World rings the changes ON the
idea that the authorities and the bet
ter people arc altogether blameless of
this mob murder. that the courts had
done all they could do, and that there
was "no mobbing of a colored man"
by the Author1ties,-and that all the
trouble Is due to the mere little insig-
ntfcant fact that "blood-thirsty brutes
merely took matters IN their own
hands"
South Civilization Week.
DUT just THAT is the gravest phase
- Of the whole matter: the society
Of the south has so conditioned the
life Of its Negro people that even the
power OF the state, the authority OF
the courts and ell the goodness of its
good" people cannot protect an in
nooent Negro child from being lynch
ed by ''bloodthirgty brutes."
What does that mean? It means
that the south, the better south, needs
the cooperation~and help Of the rest
Of the republic to save civilization in
the south. But this is the one neces-
sary conclusion which the New York
World, and some other apologetic
sources seem reluctant to reach. If
the situation is as the World de-
suibes It, an anti-lynching law of
congress and the power Of the ma
tional government are sorely needed
in every community like South Caro-
Lima.
Doubts Better CIass."
ITHE writer OF this is 45 years old
