With the Orchestyas
NEW YORK SYMPHONY

With the return of the New York
Symphony from its present tour, a
public observance of the Golden
Jubilee season of the orchestra will
be held, in the form of memorial
concert in honor of the founder, DR..
Leopold Damrosch, at Carnegie Hall,
Friday evening, February 10.
Walter Damrosch, son of the
founder, who will act as guest con-
ductor, has selected special pro-
gram including some of the compo-
sitions of Leopold Damrosch and
parts of the original program played
by the New York Symphony at its
first concert in 1878. Dusolina Clan
mini will be the soloist for the con-
cert.
DR.. Leopold Damrosch came to this
country from Breslau in 1871 to direct
the Arion Society, a male chorus.
Two years later he developed this
chorus into the Oratorio. In 1873
through his efforts the New York
Symphony Orchestra came into being.

Dos PassOs Writes
on Garlin's Letter
Editor, DAILY WORKER:

Editor, DAILY WORKER:
Regarding Sender Garlin's letter.
81 don't see any reason for any of
these regrets. It's always a good
thing for people to get sore enough to
say what they think. And if the New
Playwrights Theatre expects to swim
to fame on great wave of soft soap,
I for one have no interest in it.
"I'm afraid I did not make myself
quite clear in my last letter. What
l objected to in his criticism was not
that it was unfavorable, but that it
seemed to me to be written from the
same angle as those in the capitalist
press, the angle of contemporary
Broadway realism This may be an
oversubtle distinction, but in mo-
ment of transition between two diff
ferent sets of ideologies, ! think it is
an important one Mr.. Buchwald's
write-up of The Centuries, in the
Freiheit last month, though less fav-
orable than your writeup of THE In
ternational,' seemed to me an excel
lent example of the sort of criticism
| personally approve of. l don't feel
that you looked carefully enough in
to the aims of the production before
setting down your opinion as to the
results. In fact I feel that all the
writeups in the DAILY WORKER
suffer from the same superficiality.
That doesn't mean that I class you
people any lower than the rest of
the press. Quite the opposite. 1t just
means that criticism as an art or a
science does not exist in New York
today.
"Let me add that this letter and it's
predecessor are the expression of my
own opinions, and not of those of the
Board of Directors of the New Play
wrights Theatre. / thought it was
generally known that the directors
did not pretend unity of opinion in
any matter except in the choice of
plays.

X DRAMA, tn
Cock Robin Very Amusing
Philip Barry and Elmer Rice Collaborate on
New Play at 48th ST. Theatre

AN amusing mystery play called
n Cock Robin" is noT playing at the
18th St. Theatre. According to all
indications it will be a hit. 1t was
written by Philip Barry and Elmer
lice, who are not unknown on Broad
way.
The play concerns an amateur
heatrical group which produces a
lay for charity. During the play
ne of the actors is killed. Then the
IN begins. While built along the con-
'entional pattern of mystery plays,
it is always entertaining, occasional
ly bringing in a new twist. 1t fol-
lows the new spirit of plays in this
category which puts the humor in the
forefront. In fact, in the last act
where the mystery is solved. the show
lags due to the absence of opportunity
for laughs on the part Of the cash
customers.
The plot is not of much consequence
and will not be told here. Suffice to
say that almost every member of the
cast is suspected of the murder.
Luckily there are no bullers in the
play, otherwise they would imme-
diately be placed on the suspected
list.
The cast is of general high char
acter and includes Muriel Kirkland,
Richard Stevenson and Beatrice Her.
ford, who gives the audience an OPP
portunity to indulge in fit of laugh
ter when she appears on the stage and
delivers a speech on the purposes of
the charity for whom the amateur
performance is being given. This is
in many respects the high mark of
the play.
The rest of the cast is we'll placed
in their respective parts. Edward
Ellis as the stage manager gives a
good account of himself.
The play is staged by Gutherie Nc
Clintic and the settings are by 10
Mielziner.
The play is much above the average
in New York today and for an eve
ning's entertainment is to be recon-
mended.

In commenting upon the difference
between the mock-unemployment con-
ference conducted by Hoover's COM
mittee during the Harding admins
tration and the coming prosperity
investigation, Wesley C. Mitchell, di-
rector of the National Bureau of Eco
nomic Research made the following
statement:
"The purpose of the Harding con-
ference was to learn why things had
gone wrong in business following the
war. Our work will be to find out
why the nation has done so well eco
nomically since 1928"
The findings of the report will fur
nish the basis for the department of
commerce "for drawing rules for con-
tinued prosperity in the future" said
Mitchell.

From 1921 to date the best farm
ers as a class have not made 2 per
cent on the reasonable price of their
farms. That means that a majority
of the farmers have made nothing.
OF course some have thought that
they made money, but they have
made it at the sacrifice of fertility
and rundown buildings. Take an auto
trip, as have done many times,
through the middle west and note
the sad condition of 9-1O of the build
ings on the farms. Then use your i'm
agination and you will be able to
picture the rural field in 1888 if we
continue in the present rut.

tually double what they were in
1914" he continues, "and his income,
in many cases, no higher than in
1914, it is a physical impossibility for
even the highest class Of farmer to
keep his farm in good condition.
There is only one remedy on earth
and that is a larger income from his
farming operations. Unless that hap
pens within few years, the depres-
sion Of the country will insidiously
creep into the cities of America and
the suffering in the cities will be
much greater than in the country. The
creeping process has begun"

ftame-up system by James P. Cannon
Eational secretary of Interna iona
Labor Defense, a national labor bodv
organized to fight against the perse-
cation and Imprisonment of workers
for their labor activities and opinions.
TIE I. L. D. has been in the fore
front of the movement for release of
all labor prisoners, particularly in the
cases of Sacco and Vanzetti, and the
recently thwarted frame-up against
the two Italian anti-fascist workers,
Greco and Carrillo. The announce
ment of the tour, which is to open a
national campaign against the frame
up system, was made from the ma
tional office of the organization at 80
East 18th Street.
Great Interest.
Enthusiasm has been shown in the
tour everywhere, and he indications
are that large crowds of workers will
greet Cannon. Numerous cities that
have not had labor or radical speak
ers for years have sent in requests
that their territory be covered. In ad-
dition to the meetings already defin-
itely announced, steps are being taken
to include in the tour the dozens of
other cities where labor organizations
have requested that Cannon be pres
ent to speak. In a number of Giles,
conferences of sections of Information
al Labor Defense are being arranged
at which Cannon will speak and aid
in the strengthening of the organiza-
tons work.
To Visit Mooney, Billings.
While in the west, Cannon will make
special arrangements to visit such
well-known class war prisoners as
Tom Mooney, Warren K. Billings,
Matt Schmidt and J. B. Mcnamara
at San Quentin and Folsom, Califor-
MIA, and the Centralia |. w. w. pris-

When Lincoln spoke, standing there on that old battlefield of Gettysburg, he was facing nation that had just come through the terrific struggle of the Civil war. It had been all through that period as it has in any time of stress of that kind--and the period which preceded the war, until it had be- come a very pressing question as to how the people could rule. how the government could be effective, how tho central government at Wash inston could be made to do the thing that 1t should do and still retain the semblance of demo- cratic government in which the peo- pie ruled and expressed their own wish and will. Just then, at that very time, the problem of recon struction, of building again a united natipn, was before Nr. Lincoln.
 ', -Ths United States, along. with other countries of the world, has, not 50 very far in the past, come through another struggle, and to- day, among other things. we nre seeking to know how we may have a league of nations, and how the nations of the world, as we'll as our own, may be built upon democratic principles.
 ; LincoIn's Democratic Ideals
 MT. Lincoln left usfno stated philosophy of democratic govern ment: he prepared no formal treatise on the Application of the Principles of Democracy to Govern ment;' but no student of Lincolns life could possibly escape seeing that his whole career his life as il was lived among the people. before and after he became president, il- lustrates in a wonderful way the ideals of democracy and the condi- ions through which and by which if must be applied-if successful a all---to any government,
 These ideals of MT. Lincoln's these principles as expressed and lived In his career, are not always those that are commonly accepted as the principles of government, in democratic government or any oth:i kind: but they are the principles after all. that, it seems to me, un- derlie tAe very question Of success ful application of democracy tc government
