5 ecre tary of Agriculture Jardine Elated at AL
 aska's Future

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-Unliko any other heavily timbered ro. zion in the United States. the Alaska Coast has not become the scene of temporary exploitation leading to timber depletion. but can look forward to development of permanent forest industries in keeping with the capacity of the forest lands to sustain them. Sec. retary of Agriculture William N. Jardine declared in his annual re- port made public today.
 The report, on the pulp an.l paper industry of Alaska, decla-- ed that the notable development of the year in the National For est Administration was the initia- ton of projects for utilization of the timber in Alaska. by far. the two largest sales of government timber ever made.
 There are two National For ests in the Territory Of Alaska, but on the Coast. The larger and more southerly National For est is the Tongass National For est. It is here the pulp timber areas covered by the present sales are located.
 Millions of cords ".The Tongass National Forest has all told about 10000. .O00 cords of pulpwood stumpage and it's estimated growth. continue osis yield of pulpwood of at least s,OOo,OOO cords annually. This will permit an output for all time of not less than 100000 tons of newsprint a year. or one-fourtn of the present consumption in the United States.
 Sales Under Way
 "The sales now underway con- template an output within five years of 120.OOO tons of news print annually.
 "The entrance of the pulp and paper industry in the Alaskan re- zion will be of almost immeasur- able importance to the Territory.
 "A capital investment of at least $S,0O0.0OO or s10,O00. .O0O will be necessary in connection with each of the two projects. Part of this investment will be for tb development of water power Power sites, like timber. are pub lie property and in consequence co-ordinated development of both resources is in the best possible interests of the Territory.

DEFENDANTS NOT SLAYERS,
 CLAIM MADE
Defense Is Presenting Tes. timony in Dr. Lillien-
 dahl Murder Case

MAYS LANDING, N. J.. Dec. 2 Margaret Lilliendahl and Wil liam Beach. who for four days have been pictured through the Prosecution witnesses as the mur. derers of the womans aged hus band, were late yesterday pre-, sented in the light of innocent injured persons, entirely uncon- nected with the crime. This was in the opening addresses of de fense.
 The bulk of the testimony for the defense was to the effect that Beach was nowhere near the scene of the crime when Dr. Lii liendahl was shot to death. that two negroes were and fled aa if pursued by the shadow of death, and there was no motive for the defendants to commit the crime.
 The woman says two negroes killed her husband.
 Beach on Stand
 Willis Beach could not have confessed to the murder of Dir. Lilliendahl, on October 1, in Bal timofe. as he was in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, all that day. a defense witness testified today.
 Beach took the stand this aft ernoon in his own defense. He was pale and nervous. He de- nied any connection whatsoever with the killing and denied he had ever marked any road maps with checks at the scene of the killing. Such maps were found in Mrs. LilIiendahl's bag at the scene of the crime.

KARL MARKHAM THINKER AND REVOLUTIONIST"
VITAL ADDITION TO REVOLUTIONARY LITERATURE

by Lenin, which is the longest in the
series and which is written in the
light of the experiences of the 1905
revolution, analyses in detail Marks
contribution to philosophy, history,
economics, tactics of the class strug
gle and the organization of the revo-
lutionary move.nent. Riazonov also
includes a review by Lenin of Hynd-
mans discussion of Marx in his
Memoirs.
An interesting article on Darwin
and Marx" by the great Russian OAR
winian scholar, Professor X. Timir-
jasev, is included in the series. Paul
Lafargue, Marks son-in-law and his
friend writes AN intimate article re-
vealing things about Marx which are
not generally known. The German
worker, Friedrich Lessner, who par
ticipated in the revolutionary move
ment in Germany and joined Marx in
exile in London in 1856 writes his
impressions of Marx as he knew him.
Two articles by Wilhelm Liebknecht,
co-founder with August Bebel of the
German socialist movement, also deals
with personal recollections. One ar
ticle is entitled MARX and the Chill
dren" and the other Sunday Outings
on the Heath"
Riasanov concludes the series with
his own contribution on the Marks
so-called Confessions" He tells the
story how he discovered a piece of
paper upon which Marx had written
his Confessions" which were made
at the request of his two daughters.
RiaZanov Celebrates on these "Con-
fessions," explaining each of the
preferences which Marx had ex-
pressed.
Altogether this volume contains so
much of biographical material about
Marx which is entirely new and the
serious contributions by Engels, Len
in, Plechan&, Luxembourg and others
are indeed very appropriate at the
present time.

An unusual book in which the
founder of Scientific Communism and
the organizer of the First Labor In
ternational is depicted from various
angles has just been issued by Inter
national Publishers, 381 Fourth Ave
nue., New York City.
Although the ideas which Karl
Marx has promulgated and the
literary heritage which he left be-
hind are now influencing millions of
people in all parts of the world, not
enough is known of Marx, the man
and the doer of things. 1t remained
for D. Riazanov, the foremost living
MARKHAM historian, whose book Karl
Marx and Friedrich Engels," was re-
Gently brought out by the same In
ternational Publishers, to gather in
a volume various bits of writings
which deal with Marx, but which have
hitherto been little known and none of
them available in the English
language. The present collection in
eludes writings of some of the most
outstanding co-workers and disciples
Of Marx.
The first of the articles is a bio
graphical study of Marx by one who
knew him best-his comrade in arms
Friedrich Engels. Following this
is the translation of the letter which
Engels wrote to his and Marks
friend, Serge, in America, the day
after Marx died. After explaining
W.~,yTn gIJ~oe. ,,,b;ob oo,eo5 H. Joo+b
Engels makes the following observa-
ton: "Be that as it may, mankind is
shorter by head, has lost the great
est head Of our time. The proletarian
movement will continue on it's course,
but we no longer have the central
figure to whom the French, the Rus
slams, the Americans, and the Ger
mans spontaneously turned in de-
efsive moments, and always received
clear and irrefutable counsel such as
nothing but genius and perfect knowl-
edge could supply"
The book also contains the speech
which EDgels made at the graveyard
in Highgate Cemetery, London, in
which he analyses Marx as revolu-
zionist whose name and works will
live on through the ages"
Eleanor Marx, his youngest daugh-
ter, contributes an appreciation of
Marx, the man, giving her personal
impressions of her father and his re-
lations to other people and to his
work. This was addressed partic-
ularly to the British workers among
whom Marx lived for about 40 years.
Riasanov also includes in this collec-
ton an article by Marx on the June
Days (1S48) which he particularly
dedicated to the memory of the pro-
letarian fighters during that revolu-
tionary period.
George Plechanov, the founder of
Russian Marxism, contributed an an
alytical article evaluating Marx and
his influence on Russia. This article
was published in the "Iskra" on the
occasion of the Goth anniversary of
Marks death.
The MARKHAM biographer Franz
Mehring, and Rosa Luxembourg con-
tribute two theoretical articles on
Marx as revolutionist, theoretician
and strategist. Similarly the article

Communist Education in the
Soviet Union
By o. TANIN.

WHEN the civil war was over, Com
munist education was given
prominent place in&the system of the
general education of the country.
Hundreds and thousands of Com.
munists began to work theoretically
for their own intellectual develop
ment-they did their utmost to ac-
quire special knowledge and to get
the necessary theoretical training.
Some of the Communist institutions
include the Sverdlov University, the
Communist University of the Work
ers OF the East, the Leningrad Com,
nunist University, the Red Profess
sors' Institute, the State Institute of
Journalism, Marxist courses attached
to the Communist Academy and
courses of Uyezd Party workers.
The first five Communist univer-
sites are educational institutions con-
shutting the so-called preparation"
group, from which students can
graduate only after no less than three
years study. The two latter Com
nunist universities belong to the "re-
education" group which has a IL and
l8 months course.
These seven Communist Univer-
sites do not constitute the entire net
work Of Communist education in Mos
COW and Leningrad. They provide,
however, sufficiently weighty ma
terial to give an i,lea of the quantita-
tive, social and Party composition of
the students.
Let US see now what social groups
were admitted to Communist univer
sites in the levies of the last three
years.
In regard to this we have the fol-
lowing figures: the total number of
students admitted to these universe
ties in the period of three years is
1858 including 1928 manuaI WORK
ers, 1,115 peasants, $50 office work
ers and others. The workers and
peasants constitute 50 per cent of
the 1888 persons admitted in the
last three levics.
But it should be pointed out that
the composition of students even in
these educational institutions where
it is most difficult to regulate the So
cial composition is improving from
year to year.
We have the same picture in the
other Communist universities. All
this goes to show that the compost
tion of Communist universities is be-
coming gradually laborized.
In 1925 and 1927 1897 students
graduated from these universities
and in their person the state has
workers Of higher Communist educa-
ton who are specialists in many
branches of scientific knowledge.
Among the graduates of these two
years there were $50 manual work
ers, 673 peasants and 264 office
workers and others.
These graduates were sent to var
ious parts Of the Soviet Union to do
practical work in accordance with
their various specialities. These
workers proved most useful in the ma
tional and agricultural districts of the
U. s. S. r. where qualified scientific
forces of this kind were very much
needed.
Some six years ago the Sverdlov
University was the only institution
which provided Communists with the
necessary theoretical Marxist-Lenin-
ist training. At present the network
of Communist universities has con-
siderably grown.
Tuition in Communist universities
is now on such a high level that it |
will serve for long time to come as
an inexhaustible source of experience
for the working class of West Europe.

NOT MONEY ENOUGH FOR
EARTHQUAKE. He

WASHINGTON, Nov. rs. = If
American cities are to be safeguarded
against the earthquake danger more
money must be appropriated by con-
gress for exhaustive surveys of this
phenomenon, Col. E. Lester Jones,
head of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey, declared in his annual report
today.
While earthquakes cannot be pre-
vented, coast survey experts believe
that they may be forecasted as to time
and place with reasonable accuracy.
1t is not possible, however, with the
present knowledge of these tremors,
to predict their intensity.
