SOVIET YOUTH IN
TESTS SHOW new
SOCIAL OUTLOOK

Banking in u. S. S. R.

Youth in a workers republic has an
outlook upon life radically different
from that of youth under capitalism.
A study by Prof. Jerome Davis of
Yale University, recently published
in the American Journal of Sociology,
in which the author compares certain
social attitudes of Russian and Amer
lean children, shows this very clearly
Ninety-three boys and girls, IL to
10 years of age, in schools near Mos
COW, were given list of various oc-
equations and professions and asked
to rank them according to their social
standing. indicating which were con-
sidered "best" and which worst" by
the community. A group of 10 young
textile workers were given the same
test.
Peasants, Workers Rank High.
The first ten professions selected
by 72 of the younger children, most of
them members of the Komsomol
Communist Society of YOUTH were
in the order Of their choice: l. peas

educational systems be extended to

Runlanian Communist
Leader Held; Framed
Like SaCCO-vanzetti

PRAGUE, Oct. 2. (By MaiD On
the 10Th of August the Czecho-
Slovakian authorities arrested Com
rade Koblezh Elok, former member
of the Central Committee of the
Unitary Wood Workers Union, and
leader of the Roumanian Communist
Party.
Koblezh, a bold fighter and an en-
ergetic organizer Of the Roumarian
working class against the Roumanian
landed nobility, had been com
mander of Red Battalion during the
Hungarian proletarian dictatorship.
After the defeat of the latter he re-
turned to his native town in Transyl-
vania, there working actively for the
organization of Roumanian class trade
unions and the foundation of the
Roumanian Communist Party. He
served prison sentences and fell into
the clutches of the Roumanian secret
police and the military courts
several times. At last, however, his
position became so desperate that he
was forced to leave Roumania, and
while crossing the frontier he was ar
rested in Czecho-Slovakia.
Cooked Up Charges.
AS soon as the secret police heard
of his arrest agents were sent to
Czecho-Slovakia to demand that he
be given up. AS, however, a treaty
had been concluded between Rou-
manian and Czecho-Slovakia with re-
gard to the non-surrender of political
refugees, the secret police cooked up
a false accusation and demanded the
surrender of Koblech as a criminal,
accusing him of the murder of
secret police agent.
The Czecho-Slovakia Government,
which, thanks to Lord Rothermere's
campaign, is largely dependent upon
its ally in the Little Entente-Rou-
mania-will, Of course, not delay to
fulfill the demands of the Roumanian
secret police, unless the international
proletariat prevents Koblezh being
given up.
