Russian Films Cast Magic
Spell in Europe and America

without recourse to artificial
tricks or any effort to please
special kind of public. Money
making is not its aim.
Like the drama and the ballet,
the motion picture is medium of
cultural evolution and should not
be made plain and brutal bust
ness proposition, as it is the cause
with some producers of American
and West European films says
Anatoly Lunacharsky, the Soviet
Commisar of Fine Arts.
"a rather heated controversy is
at present taking place among
cinema workers of Russia. One
group tries to produce pictures to
please the sensuous or other con-
vential branch of the public-like
some of our own films in America.
Another group advocates keeping of
the pure artistic-cultural ideals of
the founders of all revolutions. Ono
writer in Russian cinema maga-
zine says:
Shall our motion picture be
purely commercial proposition, like
that of America and Western Eu-
rope, run on the principle of what
the public wants p or shall it be a
clear-cut cultural undertaking, con-
Quoted with an idealogiical aim in
view?
Shall we sell our souls and
bodies to the biggest bidders and
produce pictures to make money, or
shall we produce outspoken kultur-
films
"a recent conference held by lead
ers of the Russian revolution de-
cided that, like the Russian stage,
music, the ballet and literature, the
Russian film should keep to the
highest ideals of art and life, ire
spective of profit. In fact it was
pointed out that no great works of
art, for the stage or otherwise, were
ever commercial successes and that
the usual occidental view of 'giv-
ing the public what it wanted was
all bosh.
Lately the different nationalistic
state film companies of Russia have
begun to produce, typically juvenile
pictures, and pictures with an out
spoken rural appeal. 1t is remark
able that in all phases of motion
picture production the Russian is
not interested in technical intrica-
cies or in novel effects, but rather
in vital sociological and psychology
cal truths which are clearly re-
Elected in Slavonic pictures, no mat
ter what they portray. Nearly all
the recent Soviet pictures carry a
certain message, even if their exc
cution drags on occasion or the
staging is defective.

Says U. S. President
Can Easily Go Into War

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, Aug.

of executive powers to recent years
could easily plunge the nation

an act of war, Professor Edwin NJ.
Borchard of Yale University told
the Institute of Politics Friday at
round table discussion.
Presidential practice in recent
years has resulted in expansion of
chief executive powers" Borchard
said. by ordering the landing of
marines in foreign countries, he
could effectually create a situation
from which it might be extremely
difficult for congress to withdraw,
unless it chose to repudiate the pres

FLAIANI FLAYS
MILITARY CAMPS
IN COURT ROOM
Arrested at Open-Air
Meeting
by a Worker Correspondent

IDB u w OThtT 0UTT6oPOHUcWt/
PHILADELPHIA (By MaiD -
Capitalist justice has again showed
its color in the capitalist court here.
Domenick Flaiani, young militant
trade union leader of this city, was
held in $500 bail together with Ep-
stein by Magistrate Roberts at the
hearing in the 10th and Oxford Po-
lice Station, for the grand jury.
Flaiani was arrested July 2Sth
when he was addressing about 200
workers at 10Th and Cumberland
Sts., at an open-air meeting ar
ranged by the Young Workers
(Communist) League.
The veterans of foreign wars had
their lawyer, Jay C. Bossard, to
prosecute Flaiani and Epstein de-
handing their conviction or evic-
ton.
A few fascist reactionary mem
bers of the veterans of foreign wars
came to the court to testify against
Flaiani. Francis Ward, a fascist
member of the veterans testified he
heard Flaiani call Herbert Hoover
millionaire republican NOMINEES
for presidency Capitalist" and
he, Ward, heard also that Flaiani
stated that Hoover represents
Wall Street, the capitalists, the
bankers of this country and not the
workers" This fascist stated that
Flaiani spoke "disrespectfully" of
the strike-breaker president, Cal
Cool Coolidge.
Another fascist took the stand to
testify against Flaiani and he said
that Flaiani attacked bitterly the
Citizens Military Training Camps
saying that "the bosses of this coun-
try are militarizing the young work
ers of this country for the coming
war that the capitalists are prepar-
ing"
The veterans of foreign wars are
very actively working to railroad
Flaianl and Epstein into Jail. The
judge, Roberts, stated that any
Communist that will try to speak
in his division and come before hin
will not receive any mercy but will
be sent to jail.
The Young Workers Communist
League as we'll as the Workers
| (Communist) Party will continue tt
have open-air meetings in Judge
Roberts division.
The workers of the section where
Flaiani was arrested are aware Of
the activities of the fascist legion
naire veterans of foreign wars ant
they despise them. The workers
will vote for the Communist ticket
in that section and not for anyone
ticket who do not represent the
working class, as protest against
the activities of the veterans of the
foreign wars and the rest of tbs
capitalists and capitalist agencies.
