~ the course of the six years of it's
1 existence the Children's Theatre
of Moscow has developed into an
institution devoted to education and
art, which has been eultivating a
sound understanding and apprecia-
lion Of art in thousands of future
citizens Of the Soviet Republic.
The Moscow Children,s Theatre is
not confined to mere performances
for chlldfen. 1t is also endeavoring
to attract children into the circle of
activities centering about the theatre.
1t uses them as material for scientific
pedagogical Investigations. 1t gives
to the children performances which
are in accordance with their tastes,
their desires and needs, and directs
those tastes into sound theological
and artistic channels. To achieve this
aim the stage, the actors and the
audience-the necessary elements of
the theatre-are represented as only
one of the fundamental parts of a
large social and scientific-research
apparatus. The theatre has become
the center Of activities of great
number of educators, parents and
principals of the children's institu-
tions, which are being served by the
theatre. There has also been created
group of particularly interested
children from among the constant
visitors of the theatre Pedagogical
groups have been organized which

QEGENlLI In monogram on the
~ activities of the Communists in the
American trade unions, a bright
young doctor of philosophy made his
contribution to the prevailing right
wing dogma that the Communists
faii to understand the typically
American conditions in which they
must struggle.
This explanation is given by even
some of the friends and members of
our movement as the chief reason
for the relative weakness of the left
wing and the Communist Party.
How much of this is true and how
much mere propaganda?
The answer to this question is con-
tanned implicitly in a practical arti-
Gle in the current number of "The
Communist" the theoretical maya
zine of the Workers Communist
Party. Along with the discussions of
this question which is the departing
point for two Numerically opposite
tactics and PHILOSOPHERS in the labor
movement, are a number of other
matters of such vital concern to our
Party and the working class gener-
ally that no one who has not studied
this number of "The Communist"
can claim the right to an opinion on
the perspectives for the left wing.
Collaboration with the capitalist
class, says the right wing, now led
ideologically by the socialists; little
lie. MOI emphasis on the class strug-
gle, orientation on the larger groups
OF liberals and progressives. This
is yne Interpretation, so far as it is
at all honest, Of what the typically
American conditions dictate.
A call to struggle, a sharpening
exposure of the fallacies and the
treachery of the bureaucrats and mid
Ae-of-the-roaders, more definite
analysis of the role of the state in
the battles of the working class, a
rejection Of even such formerly ac-
cepted detectives as municipal own
