Electrical Expert
+. From Soviet Union
viii Study in U. S.

Prof. L. X. Ramzin, director of the
Thermotechnical Institute of Moscow,
one of the few institutions Of its ma
ture in the world, has arrived in the
7 United States to make a study of
American electric power stations.
Prof. Ramzin is accompanied by his
assistant Mr.. A. l. Moroz. The Their
motechnical Institute which was
opened in 1926 is doing extensive re-
search work, evolving the most eco
nomical ways of fuel utilization.
Prof Ramzin is an eminent authority
on furnace and boiler equipment of
electric power plants. He has pub
lished over $50 studies, some of
which have been translated into
English and French. The announce
ment of Prof. Ramzin's arrival was
made yesterday by the Amtorg Trad
ing Corporation, 165 Broadway, the
principal organization in Soviet
American trade.
Prof. Ramzin proposes to visit
within the next three months a num-
Der of power plants and power plant
equipment works in various cities of
the United States, including New
York, Providence, Baltimore, Detroit,
Chicago, st. Louis and Los Angeles.
lie expects, while studying American
ways of fuel utilization to bring about
an exchange of technical information
on the subject between American and
russian engineering authorities. The
Ihermoteehnical Institute, according
to Prof. Ramzin has annual revenues
amounting to $2,500,00O. More than
one thousand persons are engaged in
its large laboratories and in other
departments. The Institute owns a
well equipped experimental electric
power plant, with capacity of $500

An extensive program of electric
power plant construction has been
undertaken by Soviet authorities. Due
to construction of new plants. the
electric power capacity of the Soviet
Union is at present 100000 XIV. larger
than before the war. Eleven large
power plants are now under censtruc-
ton in different parts of the country.

Americans Favored
Visitors in U,S.S,R.
Says Columbia Prof.

Of especial interest to the delega-
ton of Americans who will sail on an
eight weeks tour to Soviet Russia on
October 18th next, is the statement
made by Professor Gerald Tanquary
Robinson, lecturer of Columbia Uni
versity, who has just completed a two
year residence within the Soviet
Union, that Americans are the most
welcome visitors in Russia and that
the United States is for Russians the
most interesting of foreign countries.
Professor Robinson devoted his stay
in Russia to studying the history of
the Agrarian Revolution, and is tax
ing back to the United States as ma
terial for history to be published,
several thousand hitherto unpublished
documents.
Those of the American tourists who
are especially interested in some defin-
tie phase of activity in the Soviet
Union will have special privileges ac-
corded them to facilitate their investi-
cations. In connection with this, the
Academy of Science of Soviet Rus
STA is organizing an International
Scientists Week in Leningrad during
the celebration of the tenth anniver-
sary of the revolution, during which
week the greatest scientists of Eur
ope will make public speeches, at
which the American tourists will be
welcome.
Books For Occasion.
Publishing houses are issuing a
large number of books on this occa-
sion, dealing not only with working
class questions, but embracing popular
political. matters and novels, poems
and plays.
World Tourists, Inc, at SO Fifth
Avenue, New York, announces that
applications for reservations must be
on file at its office by the end of
September, due to the necessity of adj
vance negotiations for accommoda-
lions in Leningrad and Moscow.
Ample notice of this is being given
in the hope of avoiding the experience
of the first tour, in which number
of applications were received too late
to be accepted.
Although definite word could not be
obtained, it was intimated that in the
spring of 1928 much larger tour
would be arranged in which accommo-
dations will be available for more
comprehensive group.

MOUNT VERNON, ILL.,, Sept. 21.-
Mrs. Elsie Sweetin went on the wit
ness stand today in an attempt to
prove that she was in fear of being
mobbed at the time she made two
confessions through which the state
hoped to convict her of the murder
of her husband that she might marry
Lawrence M. Hight, pastor.
In an emotional demonstration be-
fore Judge Pearce, who must decide
whether the confessions are admiss-
ible, Mrs. Sweetin wept as she
moaned:
They were so cruel, so cruel to
me, and kept telling them over and
over again I didn't kill my husband,
didn't kill'my husband. loved him. "

stars IN recognition of their services
to American Imperialism, said services
consisting of giving birth to hale and
hearty cannon fodder.
IT is not easy to arouse the Amer
lean masses to protest against the
murder campaign of the United States
government in Nicaragua. We now
have in this 'land of the free" a sit
uation similar to that which prevailed
in the British empire when the rulers
Of that commonwealth of pirates
started on their campaign to bring
the defenseless peoples of the known
world under their sway. Since the
British masses were profiting to the
extent of being reasonably assured of
then. beer and skittles from those
wars of imperialist expansion the
voice of protest was puny and all
but UNDECIDED. The empire in those
days could stand the strain of sup
porting predatory armies and the
plastic conscience of the British could
De induced to justify the slaughter of
innocent people, happy in the thot
that they were heathens at best.
A MEXICAN imperialism is as rela-
- lively capable of supporting preda-
tory armies today as England was
several generations ago, but 1927 is
not 1850. The world is growing small
er and capitalism is on the decline.
The affairs of any country in the
world are today the affairs of the
people of all countries and what orr
ruling classes are doing in Nicaragua.
IS OF great Importance to the average
American worker. The more peoples
American imperialism brings under
its heel, the easier it will be for that
imperialism to reduce the standard of
living of the American workers and
crush them when they struggle
against intensified exploitation. We
must utilize every possible method by
which the workers and farmers and
al social strata that feel the heavy
hand OF Imperialism, can be aroused
against the criminal subiugation of
Nicaragua. But the bulk of the APP
peal must be directed to the oppressed
peoples of South America and to the
masses in the United States who will
suffer with them should Wall Streets
power be increased thru additional
2oaquests.
