District Z Supports
Sixth World Congress

DETROIT (By Mail) The men,
bership meeting of District 7, of the
Workers (Communist) Party, after
hearing the report of the Sixth Con-
gress of the Communist Interna-
tional, made by Charles Wolfe,
passed a resolution expressing its
full agreement with the work and
decisions of the Congress.
The resolution stresses the need
for fighting the social democracy,
especially the so-called cleft" and
cited that in view of the danger of
a new war the Congress correctly
insisted upon the necessity of tight
ening the Bolshevist discipline of all
parties, increasing their interna-
tional activities, removing fractional
struggle, sharpening the fight
against right dangerA and fostering
a consistent struggle for Bolshevist
unity.
Hochberg made a statement that
he accepts the resolution on the
work of the Communist Interna-
tional, but has reservations on the
American question.

seem which were found exceedingly
valuable by the film producers.
Another interesting experiment
was made by Moscow film producers
who organized special expeditions
INTO the rural districts to take local
views and types, with the result
that rich albums were obtained of
rural characters, as well as of rural
cinema spectators.
During the demonstration of films
IN the villages the spectators were
given missionaries, in which the
peasants recorded their impressions
OF the pictures.
Peasants Like Dramas.
Inc peasants expressed their lik-
ing for the comic element in the
enema, and for the thrill of the
plot; at the same time they pointed
out the defects, such as Inadequate
leading lines, and too rapid mount
ing. 1t is wrong to revolve the reel
TOO rapidly in the village; the spec
tator ought to be given sufficient
time to read the lines and to properly
visualize this or that scene. On this
subject there were some harsh criti-
clsms made. For instance: 'Regard-
less of repeated warnings bv the
representative of the Village Soviet
and the public organs, the operator
turns the reel too quickly, so that
we have failed to understand the
picture"
On the other hand, the peasants
were extremely grateful for explana-
tons given by the cinema operators,
particularly in villages with large
numbers of semi-literates and illit-
crates.
A great demand was also shown
for films dealing with popular
science and agriculture.

Life of Workers.
A desire was also expressed by the
peasants for pictures from the life
of working people in other countries.
as well as for pictures showing the
new and mighty construction work
going on in the U. S. S. R.
A great many requests were made
for popular scientific films.
There is also demand for film
dealing with rural culture. One of
the suggested titles was: Glow the
Soviet Government Exerts All Eff
forts to Spread Culture to the Viii
lage."
This title suggested by the pea
SAINTS contains a profound meaning.
mo book and no lecture can impress

thus wrote the peasants from the
district of Vladivostok.
AS regards the demand for films
on agricultural subjects the views
Of all peasants seem to be identical, |
from the Moscow district to the
Maritime Province in the Far East. |
Generally, the views expressed by
the peasants, and the answers filled
by them in their questionnaires, in
dictate the tremendous rise in the
cultural requirements of the village
in the course of the revolutionary
period.
The Soviet film producers are at
tentively studying the tastes and re-
quirenents of the peasants, so as
not only to properly cater to the de-
but also to cooperate with the
schools and the rural reading rooms
in guiding the cultural education
of the Soviet Village.

Great Progress Being Made by
MONIES IN the Soviet VILLAGES

/ A YEAR ago, following a cbeck-up
~ of the progress made by the
cinema in the villages through the
U.S.S.R., there We're 232 stationary
and 1916 itinerant moving picture
screens. Since then much improve
ment has been made in the number
of travelling cinema, until today the
moving picture is penetrating into
the most outlying corners of the u.
). 5. r. with over a thousand of new
villages being affected by the travel
ing cinema outfits.
The lack of electric current in
most of the villages caused the de-
signers of travelling cinema appar-
atus to devise a source of light
which could be procured in localities
deprived of electricity.
After prolonged and thorough
testing of various models, the special
commission of Sovkino selected the
sc 0 2" model as most suitable for
the travelling rural cinema appar-
atus.
Great activity in the distribution
of cinema apparatus is carried on
by the Cinema Section of the Chief
Board of Political Education which
supplies apparatus through the local
Standardization, public and CO.
operative organizations.
Besides the travelling cinemas. the
"GOZ" outfit is utilized also by the
many rural clubs, schools, and read
ing rooms.
Travelling cinema service to the
rural districts is furnished also by
the Gosvoyenkino organizations,
which demonstrates films chiefly
of its own production, dealing with
the life of young peasants in the
Red Army.
The Osoaviakhim volunteer
aerial and chemical defence) asso-
citation maintains a number of
itinerant cinema outfits for the pur-
pose of demonstrating specific films
in rural districts.
At the present time there is a pro-
cess of naturalization being carried.
out in regard to the distribution and
utilization of travelling outfits,
which promises considerable profits
which are going to be fully utilized
towards improving and extending
the service to the rural districts.
Choice of Village Movies.
The two essential questions now
confronting the Soviet cinema in
dustry are: What kind of movies
does the village want to see, and
who constitutes the bulk of the rural
cinema spectators.
The old idea that the peasants
would prefer to see scenes of village
life has been exploded by the state
ments Of the peasants themselves.
An interesting experiment as re-
CARDS gathering the views of the vii
lage on the subject of the cinema
was carried out through the active
public workers in the rural districts,
and with the assistance of a num-
Der of peasant newspapers who had
enlisted the aid of their CORE
spondents in the villages.
A vast amount of material was re-
ceived, illustrating the general So
cial conditions in the villages, and
numerous critical
opinions expressed by individual pea
SAINTS on the films which they had
