Since the great general strike
which ended in a betrayal Of the Bri-
fish miners by the right wing, and
so-called left labor leaders, a rapid
process of clarifying the political
atmosphere has been taking place
The right wing leaders have not gone
any further in that direction. That
would be impossible. But the So
called Ieft-wingers of the Purcell
Hicks-Citrine type have nothing left
now of their old progressivism but
their cleft" phrases.
At the recent congress of the In
ternational Federation of Trade
Unions, A. A. Purcell, president Of
the organization, delivered a speech
in which ne said that the fruits of
the Russian revolution must be con-
served. But as the Communist Week
ly Worker pointed out, Purcell can
not efface culpability as president,
for the blacklegging against the Bri-
fish miners; the sabotage of a world
trade union conference to help China
and to defeat the attacks on the
Soviet Union" 1t is futile for Pur-
cell to make a radical speech before
a collection of bureaucrats and then
refuse to take any action calculated
to give practical expression to his
speech.
Herbert Smith, president of the
Miners Federation of Great Britain
and is one of the latest labor leaders
to join the anvil chorus against the
Soviet Union. The Russian workers
gave $5,OOO,O0O to the British min
ers during the strike, that is, more
than twice the entire collections in
the rest Of the world, including Great
Britain. And this much from an al
legedly impoverished country.
Yet at a recent conference of the
miners federation Smith delivered

pany would concern itself with por-
traying workers and clarifying hu-
man toll was unbelievable to those
who still cling to the illusion of art
separated from life surrounding the
artist.
Like every revolution, that which
has occurred in Russia is spreading
it's influence to the ends of the earth,
in every field of human endeavor. 1t
is significant to find that already it
is touching that most aloof of ar
lists, the musician, and proving the
inspiration for work that is enthu-
siastically received, not merely in
side the Soviet Union, but in the
salons of Paris. No doubt these Paris
audiences have little conception of
the full meaning of the hammer and
sickle emblem; but they are forced
to applaud it in art form. And
slowly they will begin to realize that
a workers republic is a settled real
ity, and that it produces works Of art.
1t is too much to expect them ever
to realize that the workers will pro-
duce greater art than has ever been
known. They will have to be dead
and gone before the world sees that
fact.

the stereotyped attack on Commun-
ism and said that the workers in the
Soviet Union are little more than
slaves. When Smith was in Russia
with the British Trade Union Dele
cation he was loud in his praise of
the freedom enjoyed by the workers
in the Soviet Union, and expressed
the hope that the workers of Great
Britain would soon follow in their
footsteps.
The miners conference voted
against Communist Party affiliation
with the Labor Party, tho the Com
munist Party continued to support
the miners strike long after the La
Dor Party leaders deserted them. And
tho the South Wales delegates were
instructed by their constituents to
vote for affiliation, they remained
neutral, That is a way delegates
have with them.
While Smith is waging war on the
Communists, Havelock Wilson, presi-
dent of the Seamen's Union, and one
of the most notorious tools of CAPT
talism in any country, is financing a
scab so-called "non-political" union in
the coal mining industry. Frank
Hodges, civil lord of the admiralty in
the Macdonald government, and we'll
known Communist batter, is heading
the proposed organization. 1t has
the support of the government and is
something like the American COM
pany union.
As a result of Wilson's policy,
there is a sharp division on the exc
cutive committee of the miners
union. w. J. Davies, general secre-
tary, has come out in opposition to
Wilson. l tappears that while Will
son proposes to give a grant of $780,

treasury of the organization is $780,

Gar Turns Over in Grave.
How the old car must fret in his
grave, and the former mobiles of his
court weep on the wheels of their
Paris taXis, to learn that this is the
new type of Ballet Russo being pre-
sented to European capitals with all
the splendor Of which modern the
atrical production is possible.
1t is the well-known NJ. Diaghileff's
famous ballet which recently produced
in Paris "Pas d'Acier" with music by
the Russian composer Serge Proko-
fieff. Judging by descriptions, the
effects of the ballet are not at all
inspired by the brilliantly novel ex-
periments to b seen in Moscow. But
the work is nevertheless "most orig

suggesting factories and other scenes

Art For Art Bunk.
And yet in every country-not ex-
Guiding America-there are those
who loudly proclaim that "art" is
above revolution, meaning that the
noble artist creates out of his noble
brain entirely unaffected by world
upheavals or revolutionary struggles
around him.
In "Pas d'Acier" we have a strik-
ing instance to prove once again how
foolish and ignorant such a theory is.
Here is musician of unquestioned
talent, Prokofieff, turning as a mat
ter of course to themes about work
ers because he seeks for his inspira-
ton in Russia of today And because
he has written nthis theme "a
work of real worth written with a
master-hand-with a sureness, con-
ciseness and power which, however,
never exclude freshness of inspira-
ton or fertility of IDEAS" the famous
master of the Ballet Russo, Diaghi-
left, was eager to produce it. BY
Henry Prunieres, in the New York
Times, it is called without question
one of the best works ever produced
by M. Diaghileff's ballet"
