also true, however, that Communist
journalism can be successfully prac-
ticed only by those who have a GER
tain minimum of acquaintance with
the principles of Communism and the
history of the labor movement. Work

Worker Correspondence.
Worker correspondence - letters
from workers in the shops and in the
fire of struggle-are the cornerstone
Of pPoletarian journalism. We have
made but little Roadway in encourag-
ing and training workers to write for
our paper despite the efforts which
have been made. More hammering
along this line, more deliberate and
systematic stimulation and organiza-
ton of worker correspondence is a
necessity.
Our paper should have more arti-
cles of a political and general nature
and should not be confined to the
groove of any established "newspa-
per" standard We should not fear
to blaze a new trail in form as well
as in substance and to make a pattern
Of our own. We must have more fea-
lures in the paper, especially light
and interesting features, as balance
to the heavier material. The tabloids
which have broken away from the old
newspaper models consist mainly of
light features. Without copying their
substance we can learn from their
technique. Too much emphasis cam
not be placed on this point if we real
Iiy want to extend our circulation and
reach new strata Of workers.

handed and overworked, and under
paid to scandalous degree. The

WORLDWIDE PLANS ARE
MADE TO WELCOME Indy
Interest in Next Flight Is
Shown by Flood of
Queries to U. S.
BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 2. - The
worldwide interest created in
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's forth
coming good will" air journey over
the Atlantic and through Europe
and Asia was reflected today in the
numerous queries concerning his
plans which embassies and legations
here have made to the State De-
partment.
The first calls were received i'm
mediately after the United Press
exclusive announcement last Friday
that the colonel intended again to
span the Atlantic by air and to pay
courtesy calls in foreign countries.
Since then the number of re-
quests for information, which the
foreign diplomatic representatives
are seeking so their governments
may know when to expect Lind
bergh and to make preparations ae-
ordiingly, has been increasing daily.
Japanese Are Interested.
Japanese officials particularly
we're interested in Lindberghs plan
to include their country in his itin-
erary and they were eager to learn
the details concerning his contem-
plated flight across the Pacific.
Four japanese airmen are plan
ming to make the same attempt this
summer.
Prominent among diplomats in
quest of Lindbergh information were
the Germans and Scandinavians,
who we're pleased by the statement
that the airman probably would Sc
lect a northern European country
for his first stop on the continent.
Lindbergh was unable to include
Germany or Sweden after his trans
Atlantic flight last May. The Swed-
ish government at that time ex-
tended him an official invitation,
which it is assumed it will renew.
The State Department has in
formed all callers that it is not in a
position to divulge any information
as to Lindberghs itinerary until the
colonel himself is ready to announce
it. Inq4rers were referred directly
to Lindbergh for additional infor-
nation.
Seek to Assure Safety
Measures to insure the utmost
safety for Lindbergh on his trans
Atlantic trip were being expedited
today by various government de-
partments.
While it was not expected he
would make known his plans in full
until he was ready to hop of, per-
sons here interested in his newest
venture, wished to have complete in
formation and data prepared for
him in anticipation of early de-
parture.
The safety factor will play a large
part in the route to be selected for
the Atlantic flight. The Grand
Circle course followed by Lindbergh
on his 1927 hop may be chosen, but
if another, cutting the element of
risk to a minimum, can be found
it will be selected.

There are many others who

NNE thing that Moses did at
~ Mt. Sinai, Mr.. Patton said,
was to think his religion in the
terms of his generation.
"You will recall that when God
spoke to Moses he identified him
self as the God of Abraham. Isaac
and Jacob" he said. why wasn't
Moses satisfied with knowing he
was the God whom his father
worshiped before him? Accord
ing to very large group of per-
sons today he ought to have been
but he wasn't. The first thing that
Moses asked God was for a new
name and God was not offended"

Riches, Ruin
Vast Network of Wires
Carries Market Story
to Nation.
BY ELMER C. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, April 2.-Five
hours have passed and it is
now but 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The Stock Exchange is closed.
In those five hours more than
100000 shares of stock have
changed hands. Hundreds of per-
sons are richer. Hundreds, poorer.
There has been a flow, perhaps, of
$3OO,OOO,000 out of the pockets of
another.
Men and women, who a dozen
years ago considered Wall Street
some sinister playground of the
Enthusiastically rich, now are play
ing the market" daily.
Joe the Barber has Tip on
Steel. Winnie the Waitress knows
for a fact that Radio is to rise.
Tom the Department Store Clerk
is risking few hundred in Motors.
That means romance, of course,
but it also means work.
Here is the current system:
Brokers offices all over the
United States are connected with
the Exchange with vast network
of wires. The man in San Fran
cisco can buy 200 shares of United
States Steel at $148 and before the
broker wire reports the transac-
ton cosummated he can read on
the ticker tape the familiar
tx 2.8."
Note those symbols. The ticker
no longer can print an entire quo
tation. There isn't time. The "X''
stands for United States Steel. the
figure 80" for 200 shares and the
"8" for the last number of the quo
tation. Had the price been 1872
the ticker would have printed
"8 IL" or, in a terrific rush,
merely %"
From 10 a. m. to 3. p. m. quota
tions race from the ticker. On days
when trading goes wild the ticker
lagS behind Sometimes it is more
than a half hour late on record
ing sales.
An orderly excitement, if such a
phenomenon is possible, accom-
panies the market in the New
York office of the United Press,
where group of experts keep con-
slant record of each sale for pub
LEGATION in newspapers all over the
nation.
AS the opening gong rings a few
blocks away, every man in the
United Press quotation depart
ment is near the tickers and
ready. Forms are spread Oh the
tables, tickers linked, pencils
sharpened, erasers at hand.
What those tickers are going to
print is not known. Hence the
opening is watched with intense
interest. From the floor of the ex-
change are four sending stations.
Messengers run into them with
quotations the minute a sale has
been made and each punches a
tape which runs until all are sent.
The next sending station picks
up automatically and so on all
day.
The Western Union through an
arrangement with the Exchange,
picks up these quotations and
transmits them to the various
nartS of the country
