THE NECESSITY OF A
PHOTOGRAPHY SYSTEM

regular correspondence, criticism and
instruction publication of hints
what should good review be like"
as a supplement to the discussion
number, also letter giving the main
viewpoints), Nor should one be
afraid to return reviews and criti-
cislns several times for further elab-
Grafton. Such regular collaboration
could be successfully developed by
the introduction of lump sum fees.
1t is essential that the agitprep de-
partments should exercise regular
control over the reviewing of books.
z. THE CHARACTER OF THE
REVIEWS AND CRITICISM IS
THEMSELVES is of course the main
point for every good photography. A
review should NOT be:
(a) A mere enumeration of chap
tiers and Incidents.
| (bl An academic discussion be-
tween experts"
(c) A mere opportunity for the re-
viewer to show his Importance by
running down" the book.
I'D An opportunity to air his
views on other matters.
Good criticism must always bear
! in mind the three tasks of a biblio-
graphy in the Party press; informa-
ton, polemics, instruction how to
read, Therefore, it must be written
from the standpoint of the Party and
with the responsibility which this i'm
plies. 1t must indicate in what way
the book reviewed can be useful for
Party WORK, it must give useful ~ :
tations. Above all it must be as brief
and concrete as possible.
+! s. WHAT SHOULD BE THE CON-
TENTS OF A GOOD REVIEW?
| ta) A survey of the state of af-
fairs and literature in the respective
sphere,
| (b) Statement of the contents and
of the main ideas of the book in ques-
ton.
| (e) Criticism and polemics.
(d) The books usefulness for the
Party.
(e) Who should read the book.
III What book can be considered
as q supplement, an argument against
or substitute.
8. MARXISM-LENINISM is the
viewpoint from which review must
be written. Therefore, it is essential:
firstly, to define in every criticism OF
review the basic standpoint of Marx
and Engels (if possible by carefully
selected quotations), secondly, to APP
ply the method OF historical material
ism In the discussion itself. 1t Is not
enough to criticize the theoretical err
rors Of the respective ideology-this
theology itself must be explained on
thu basis of the material facts Of the
class struggle.

Notes to the Party Press.

l. A good bibh0graphy IN the press
has three fundamental tasks: firstly,
teaching Party members TO re j, :, :
ondly, polemical advocacy of the poll
icy Of the Party and Laninism for The
outside world, thirdly, complete and
prompt information of the Party on
the ideologies existing in the various
classes and Parties. Therefore, it is
not only a fundamental condition for
any kind of propaganda, but ever and
above this an important auxiliary
means in the matter of determining
the course Of the policy of the Party.
g. Up till now, photography in any
newspaper or periodical of the Com
munist Parties has not attained this
end. The vain defects are: (al Lack
Of regularity in publication; (b) cas-
ual selection Of discussion literature;
(c) erroneous selection and made
quate guidance of reviewers; I'd en-
roneous character and non-Marxist
method Of the reviews themselves,
8. Regularity is the fundamental
condition for the creation of good
photography. 1t should appear ragu=
larly on definite days (fer instance
Sunday and should be given def
mite place in the newspaper. 1t should
always keep to a certain number of
spheres (social democratic, trade
union, fascist, svadi ais, ote.. Ii era
ture, colonial policy, militarism, Sow
let Union, etc.. Especially Party
periodicals of the CPSU and social
democratic and trade union periedi-
calls should be continually followed
and studied.
A. System in the selection of books
which are to be discussed is another
fundamental condition. Good bibli-
ography should be up-to-date, name
ly, on the one hand it should deal
promptly with important new ppbli-
cations, and on the other hand, it
Should indicate and criticize very
fully literature (also older literature)
in connection with important events
and incidents. 1t should, as far as
this is possible, discuss the various
books in connection with similar pub
locations appertaining to the same
oPHCiC. IlihJllc iltClaIy VI lueOlOSlCd1
tendencies should be singled out and
analysed
5. Selection of reviewers is third
fundamental condition for good bibli-
ography in the Party press. Criti-
cism of books should not be entrusted
to comrades not in touch with the
practical work of the Party, for the
mere reason that they are experts, .
but above all to comrades who are
active Party workers, for they are
the people to know what can be use
full or not to the Party in the book
in question. Nor should one entrust
this work to comrades who discuss
books in mechanical manner. Here
It should be pointed out that by ask
ing comrades to review book one
frequently helps them to come out OF
; a state Of torpor to do theological
work.

VIEWERS by the editor can be
brought about by discussions BY

Personnel conditions In the
Federal departments are GER
tain to be improved during the
tenure Of Herbert Hoover in
the presidency.
This II, the opinion Of many OBJ
servers who have studied the
Hoover administrative record, espe
cially during the years that he
served as Secretary Of Commerce
and know Of his insight into labor
problems.
Officials 81 the Federation of
Federal Employees are firm in the
belief that the Presfdent-elect win
take an active and direct interest,"
in the solution Of the many prob
lens confronting civil service
workers, including the moot issues
0f classification and salary In
creases.
Highly Praised
#s .Mr. Hooverss ten years In wash
ington have enabled him to study
the problem OF the Civil Service
worker at first hand, said Miss
Gertrude McNalIy. secretary Of the
Federation Of Federal Employees
today. Furthermore. he is an
executive and an administrators. He
knows good deal about personnel
management. That has been his
work since the beginning of his
career.
I'VE have never credited the vart
Gus rumors that Mr.. Hoover merely
stood for cold -bIoOded and impersonal
efficiency tests Ia his attitude toward
the workers
Nothing in his record as Secretary
Of Commerce indicates that this is So
I'VE think he Will always support
policies which will increase the NOR
ale of workers in the various depart
ments.s'
1t was pointed out today that on
several occasions Mr.. Hoover has
taken q personal interest in living
conditions in washington as they
affect the Government worker.
This was notably the case when he8
backed survey to determine
whether new apartme -houR groups
should be constructed in Washing
ton for the purpose Of reducing rents
for the rank and file IF Federal
workers.
This construction project was
held in allegiance for various
reasons, chiefly because private con-
struction was then showing marked
activity in providing new housing
in the Capital
Although taking no active part
in the various campaigns designed
to aid Federal workers in Washing
ton, Mr.. Hoover has always kept
in close touch with them.

VALUE
EXPERT
HIT

AS long as q gas plant pro-
duces gas, it should be quoted
at full value, no matter how
obsolete and antiquated it is.
This was, in effect, the theory
used by r. o. Luqueer, con-
sulting engineer, IN fixing 4
value on the Washington Gas
Light Company, on which the
company hopes to have gas
rates fixed.
Ralph B. Fleharty, peoples coun-
sci, today drew this admission from
Luqueer in cPoss-examination at
hearings before the Public Utilities
Commission.
Many Defects Found
II. Carl Wolf, engineer for the
commission, who also made a valua-
ton of gas properties, found many
defects in the equipment OF the
gas companies that escaped the eye
Of Luqueer. Wolf win testify about
these later In the hearings.
The records show that Luqueer
allowed a depreciation OF only
$780, 900 from his $2S. .O00. 900 ap.
praisal, whereas Wolf claims a de.
duction of $1,000, 900 for depreciation
should be made.
The gas company is seeking to
have rates fixed on basis of a
completely new property.

a personal appeal probably
will be sent to President-elect
Hoover on behalf of the old
fashioned Inauguration which
Washington wants for March 4.
Hoover is quoted, unoffi-
cially, as favoring an inaugural
of "extreme simplicity.
Local citizens who are high in
e. o. p. councils are hopeful that
this declaration can be modified, and
that the incoming President can be
persuaded to sanction the sort Of
Festivities which will draw a record
breaking crowd from all sections Of
the nation to Washington.
