BY WILLIAM F. KRUSE,
Special Moscow Correspondent to

The Daily Worker.
GONE with us some early morning
- down to the Strassnaya Boulevard,
back of where Pushkin stands looking
down rather benignly at the teeming
Moscow life eddying here almost all
hours Of the day and night-lovers'
rendezvous, young mothers and nurse
girls with bevies of plump and rosy
youngsters, flower peddlers and cigar
cite girls under the uniform cap Of
"Mosleprom" Stop a bit and ssoon
we see an interesting group of youths
and girls-"steping out" as it were in
"physculture"-groups of ten or TWEEN
ty running, skipping, jumping, exer-
cising as they go along in a happy-go-
lucky game of follow my leader. !"
Look a bit closer and you will see all
manner of races here-yellow, black,
white, brown, with every intermediate
shading-for these are students from
the nearby Stain University of the
Peoples of the Toiling East.
In Moscow there are dozens Of ex-
cellent scientific schools attended by
many thousands of students from all
over the Soviet Union and the world at
large. There are schools for revolu-
tionary peoples and national minori-
ties from all over the world, political
schools, technical schools, cultural
schools of all kinds-altho those who
attend any one of the categories inevi-
tably include in their studies liberal
amount of the domain of the others.
American educators of various politi-
cal standings with whom l have talked
here assured me that never in their
lives had they seen such a student
body. Earnest, burning with life and
energy, inspired by worldwide pro-
letarian revolutionary philosophy,
eager to develop themselves to the ut
most only as instruments in the great
cause of labor that embodies all of
them-this is the Soviet student body,
living already today the nearest COM
plete Communism possible anywhere
in the world
uOW did these students get here?
Il Not as do the pampered darlings
of Europe, nor even as the father-made
or so-called self-made boys of bour-
geois America. Not one comes by his
own absolute choice-every student in
these Moscow schools is sent by an
organization of fellow-workers in the
labor or decentralization move
ments Many are political emigres,
fugitives from White Terror, many bear
the marks of Jail and battle, others as
yet untried by fire were chosen by
their fellows for demonstrated loyalty
and capability. But all are here, not
for themselves, not with the ambition
to be somebody" but with the burn
ing desire to do something worth
while in the worldwide struggle of the

also there is nucleus OF the Com
munist Party and of the Young Com
munist League, every school is like
wise connected thru chef-ship with a
factory, village, Young Pioneer
group, and Red Army unit. The CON
tinual reciprocal visits with these va
rious features of Soviet life keep up an
intense and vital interest between the
foreign students and the Russian peo-
pie. Nor does the splendid traditional
hospitality of the Russian people re-
strict itself to these official festive
| occasions; every student has, in addi-
| ton, wide circle of personal ac-
quaintances in whose home he is al
ways welcome, and every one of the
very many affairs in the students club
is attended by many of these friends.
These club evenings are really a treat
sometimes they are a melange of ma
tons and races, sometimes confied to
one-always pulsating with life and
interest and adding ever another link
to the many fraternal chains that
bridge the chasms which once sepa-
rated one worker from another
Excellent teachers, some from the
best of the old schools, some from
among the newly developed RED pro-
fessors," guide the so-mixed studentry
in their acquaintance with the revolu-
tionary literature and practice of the
world. No dry as dust lecture system
aiming at the giving of stupid answers
to stupider exam is in use here. A
problem is stated, discussion is held,
references are distributed, then indi-
vidual study, and finally another meet
ing with it's hammering out of the cor
rect line on the anvil of mutual con-
ference. The intense socio- political ac-
tivity of the studentry also contributes
heavily to their training This is the
educational method used by the Mos
COW schools in training the new citi-
zens and fighters for the Soviet world
that is to be.
ONE Of the Russian professors grew
~ reminiscent-sheto told of one of the
first party schools of the Bolsheviki,
not in Russia, to be sure. but, ironi-
cally enough, in emigration in Italy,
on the Isle of Capri. There the stu
dents shifted as best they could on
7 lire a month. Today, as guests of
the first proletarian workers and peas
ants republic, the students from all
parts of the world gratefully look back
to their prototypes in the Bolshevik
school, whose struggle made possible
these relatively palatial conditions,
and pledge themselves that Moscow
shall be their Capri, and that the CAPT
tails of their home lands may in the
not too distant future, serve as the
Capris of other Moscows to follow
even more quickly on their heels.

How the Welsh Miners
Live and Strike:

BY LUCY 5RANHAM, Fed. Press.
VOU would think from the cables
= the bourgeois press brings from
London that the miners of England
had disturbed peaceful social or
der. Do not believe it, Five years
ago this May, after the breakdown of
the triple alliance when the miners
had to carry on alone | travelled over
the grassy coal dust hills of southern
Wales with A. J. Cook. Perth, Maerdy,
Merthyr Tydvil, one town was like an
other. The coTliery smokestacks of
Aberdare are as grimy as those of
Pontypridd, the crowded cottages Of
Gowerton as forlorn as those of Yst-
rad-Rhondda. Spiritless little schools
there were, that gave a dole of the
three Rs. There were churches but no
movies. In little settlement after lit
tie settlement / saw one sign of hope
and one only, the trade union halls of
the South Wales Miners Federation,
where the working class schools were
held to study the history Of the world
and to inquire if forever and forever
hunger and insecurity were to be the
share of the workers children.
Churches as strkebreakers.
r WENT with the miners and their
4 wives to mass meetings held on the
hill slopes. Among the proclamations
on the church walls were posted the
kings, addressed to the miners wives,
quoting bible and commanding them
to break their husbands strike. But
it was their strike, too. They were
back Of their men. They worked early
and late in the soup kitchens that
served little enough of soup. Bread
without butter and tea. That was the
fare they struck on in the colliery
towns. The children stood in queues.
"Merry England"
Others may think of England as
land of smooth green lawns, comfort
able firesides and vessels on every
sea. | know where the coal comes
from, and how cruelty the coal own.
ers, the government and the ship
owners, betrayed the miners five
years ago this spring. What Is hap
pening today is only the fruit Of that
betrayal. South Wales is coal coun-
try, nothing but coal, little agricul.
ture and no industry. The absentee
coal owners stood out against any
thing that would bring order and
peace into the depressed industry.
Their cure for everything was less
wages for the workers.
tell you the miners Of England
live on the lowest possible wages. I
stayed in Maerdy with the family Of
the secretary OF the miners local, who
was also a teacher In the miners
school. He and his family had bare.
ly enough to eat and their lot was II
anything better than the rest.

DANISH SAvANT
DOUBTS 1t. BYRD
FLEW over POLE
Insist Explorer Prove His
Statements
Especial to Tho Daily Worker,

COPENHAGEN, May 1.-THE an.
nouncement that Lieutenant Com
mander Richard E. Byrd had flown by
airplane over the North Pole was met
with yelled skepticism in scientific
circles here. The scientists declare
that the feat is not impossible, but
that they doubt that Byrd can prove
his claims of having flown over the
North Pole and insisted on greater
verifcation.
we must remain skeptical until
more exact information is at hand"
said Lauge Koch, noted Danish ex-
plorer. "The utmost that Commander
Byrd will be able to prove is that the
distance he has flown agrees with the
distance between Kings Bay and the
North Pole and return. At the best
he possibly will only be able to prove
that he has been within a hundred
kilometers of the Pole.p
Personally l am doubtful of the
possibility of Commander Byrd PROV
ing his claim, considering the means
Mt his disposal" said Colonel Koch,
chief of the Danish military aviation
service and a noted explorer.
Commander Byrd can not know
definitely whether he has been at the
Polar point. If he bases his assertion
solely on general estimates, than his
assertion is not worth much"
