It may be said however, that the fruits Of the Boil

ambitious program mapped out at the present time by
international Publishers"
1t following his visit to the Union of Soviet Re-
publcs in 1924, that Alexander Trachtenberg editor
manager Of international Publishers" actively took up
the task of building this book pubshng and book-dis
tribung organization. He had had the matter under
consideration for years with A. A. Heller who had
long been interested in spreading revolutionary tera
ture a large scale, issued cheaply as possible.
Trachtenberg had visited the Marx-Engels Institute
in Moscow where the plans just being perfected
for the publication of the complete literary works of
these revolutonsts in SO volumes. At that time
the Lenn Institute in Moscow had also made great pro-
gress with its program to assemble all the writings of
Lenin in 80 volumes.
This monumental task to be accomplished in the
Russian language. TRANSACTIONS being made into
the German and other languages. To make these lit

incentive international Publishers" 1t has success

BY sol. METZGER.

Talk basket ball with Nat Ilol-
man. the we'll informed coach of
G.. &. \. Y. and you will learn
there are two main principles to be
followed in play, one concerning
attack and the other defense. All
attack should be planned to head
for the basket. Plays that wind
up in the corners of the court. the
shaded areas in the illustra ton
above, invariably fail, as the OPP
ponent is easily covered and his
shots are long chances
The other principle, the defensive
angle of the game, is just the
reverse. Force the opponents at
tack to the corners and you have
ii in most ineffective position.
Practically all play is based on
these two principles.
