try districts where the proportion of Com
munists is slight. Trustworthy observers in
form us that discussion and voting in the viii
lagos seem perfectly free.
The proportion of Communists elected to Of
flee increases rapidly as one goes higher in
the governmental structure. In the villages
the overwhelming majority of the members
of the local soviets are non-Communists. The
proportion, however, in the county and pro-
vincial soviets is higher, and higher yet in
the All-Russian Congress. The proportion Of
Communists in the Central Executive Com
mittee is still higher, while the Presidium and
the Council Of Peoples Commissars are en-
tirely composed Of Communists.
1t should not be inferred, however, that the
on-Communist members of the soviets are
necessarily opposed to the Communist Party
or to socialistic principles. A great many men
and women in sympathy with Communist
policies either do not wish to make the sac
rifice required of member of the party or
do not wish to subject themselves to its iron
discipline, since members of the party are
called upon for great deal of political and
economic work outside of working hours. They
must be active in the trade unions, in the CO.
operatives and in political life They must
give up several afternoons or evenings a week
to agitation and administration. They are
punished much more severely than non-Com-
munsts for any offense against the state.
they cannot accept larger wage than S112.5O
month in the larger cities and even less in
the provinces. Many of the technicians and
administrators who are not Communists re-
ceive much more than this amount Under
these circumstances, therefore, many persons
in sympathy with the aims of the party are
reluctant to join.
1t is also difficult to gain admission to the
ranks of the party, particularly if one is not
a manual worker or a peasant. The records OF
applicants are carefully examined, and if they
have participated in counter-revolutionary at
tempts in the past they are almost always re-
jected. There is also probationary period of
six months for workers. one year for pea
SAINTS, and five years for non-manual work
ers, during which the candidate may attend
party meetings, but has not a deciding vote.
In addition, every effort is made during this

Ex-Head of Rumanian
Air Force Arrested;
Helped Carol Revolt

LONDON, Nov. Col. Teodor-
eacu, former Chief Of Staff of the
Rumanian air forces, was arrested
today in connection with the purchase
of airplanes, according to a direct
dispatch received by the Daily Mail
from Bucharest.
The planes, it is believed, were pur-
chased for the use Of Prince Carol
supporters.

period to eliminate the career-seeker, many
applicants being turned down on this ground.
The result is that the Communist Party is
very different from what we understand by
a political party. 1t is not a loose aggregation
of persons who at a given time decide to vote
in the same general way. 1t is rather care
fully selected body Of active workers with
definite goal who are willing to make great
sacrifices for its success and who are bound
together by a centralized discipline.
The structure Of the Communist Party is
very similar to that Of the political state. It's
100000 members are organized into approx
imately $4,000 local cells (nuclei). These cells
exist in factories and in villages, and in some
cases have district organization in the cities.
They elect representatives to the annual con-
gress of the party, which in turn elects a Cen
trail Committee. This is the main body to de-
termine policies. 1t elects political bureau
Of nine, which directs the main work of the
party between sessions of the Central Com
mittee. All members are bound by decisions
of the party. This leads in practice to high
degree of Capitalization since the central COM
mittee can bind individuals in advance of the
annual meeting of the congress. The central
administration of the party also has great
deal Of influence in nominating local secreta-
ries of the party, and this still further helps
! to build up a central power. AS is we'll known,
| tie opposition in the party, led by Trotzky
and Zinoviev has recently contended that they
should have the right to question decisions of
the annual congress if new circumstances arise
which alter the conditions existing at the time
the general policy was formed. They also in
sst upon the right to carry on within the par
! ty full discussion of the decisions of the
Central Committee and to carry on agitation
prior to the meetings of the annual congress.
Many have believed that the sacrificial
quality of the Communist Party would disap-
pear as the old communists who suffered in
exile and prison for their principles died off or
became superannuated. The communists have
seen this danger and have attempted to meet
it by setting up two organizations the Pho
neers and the League of Communist youth
! (ComsomoD. The first takes in children from
10 to LIS, the latter includes youths from Is to
%. The Comsomols have branches through
out the u S. S. R. and comprise approximately
I 100000 members, or nearly twice the
strength of the party itself. About half of
these are taken into the party when they
reach the age of eligibility Some of the rest
do not care to join, and others are eliminated
On one or another ground. The Comsomols
mot only carry on educational and agitationaE
work among their members, but also exercise
and play together. They are also supposed to
do social work among the unemployed juve-
niles, and to take care of the organization OF
Pioneers, playing a part which would be ANAL
ogous to our Big Brother and Big Sister move-
ment.
