WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Presi-

Horacio Vasquez was elected pres
ident during the spring of 1924, with
U. S. marine support. During the
previous occupation by the marines,
many laws were passed by the i'm
perialist militarists. These laws
were forced upon the Dominican
masses after Vasquez was elected.
Many loans were given Vasquez by
the National City Bank of New
York, and the U. S. customs con-
troller was appointed by Coolidge to
guarantee the National City Bank
loans.
The peasants have been losing
their land to the American owned
sugar corporations, and are forced
to work for miserable wages and
long hours. The general economic
crisis in the U. S. has rapidly spread
to Santo Domingo, and conditions
are becoming worse. While no de-
tails of the demands of the revolu-
tionists have been published, I'M
doubtedly they are fighting against
the worsening conditions of the
peasant masses.

Prosecutions in Yugoslavia.
(WirelesS BIZ Inprecorr)

VIENNA, Feb. 25.-Reports from
Belgrade, Yugoslavia, tell of the ar
rest of the famous theatre director,
DR.. Bronko Gavella, and his dis
missal as manager of the National
Theatre in Belgrade. In 1928,
Gavella was delegated from the Ma
tional Theatre to the Stanislavski
celebrations at Moscow.
Returning, Gavella held lectures
in the Belgrade University on the
art and drama in the Soviet Union.
These lectures form the basis of
his present arrest.
The editor of "Novo Lietratura"
and owner of the famous publishing
house "Nolit," Paul Bihaly and his
wife, also are arrested. The "Nolit"
company published the works of Up
ton Sinclair, Jack London, Remarque,
etc.
The editor of the large Yugoslav
daily paper "Politka," Prodanovitch,
its Zagreb correspondent, Fink, the
editor of "Novosti," Kershovani and
his wife, the actress Shilovitch, her
father, Doctor Shilovitch, all have
been arrested. The same charge is
made against all these of making

RIO DE JANIERO, Brazil, Feb.
25.-Yesterday the police raided the
headquarters of the Worker and
Peasant Bloc at Porto Allegro, ar
resting IL workers and confiscating
literature. Also at Sac Leopoldo,
there were four workers arrested
and taken to Porto Algere. The
charge against those arrested is that
they are Communists.
This attack on the Worker and
Farmer Bloc takes place in the period
prior to the elections for national
president, whcih has named Negro

candidate for president of Brazil.

The Wall Street mouthpieces are

Religion to Continue

and did not oppose Communism?
Could you in the future permit some
Party members to hold religious
opinions if they did not conflict with
Party loyalty?
"Reply by Stain: In this question
there are several inexactitudes. In
the first place, l do not know Of
any such good Communists that
the delegates talk about. 1t is
hardly likely that such Communists
exist at all. Secondly, must de-
clare that speaking formally, we
have no conditions of Party men,
bership which demand that cam
didate for Party membership shall
be an atheist.
"The conditions of membership in
our Party are: acceptance Of the
program and rules of the Party; abb
solute subordination to the decisions
of the Party and its organs; pay
ment Of membership dues; and
membership in one of the Party
locals.
"a Delegate: I often read of ex-
pulsions from the Party because of
belief in god.
"Stalin: l can only repeat the
conditions of membership in our
Party that l have just mentioned.
We have no other condition.
"Does that mean the Party is
neutral towards religion? No, it
does not. We carry on and will
continue to carry on propaganda
against religious prejudices. Our
legislation guaranteed to citizens
the right to adhere to any religion.
! This is a matter for the conscience
of each individual. That is precise
ly why we carried out the separa-
ton of the church from the state.
But in separating the church from
the state and proclaiming religious
liberty we at the same time guar
anteed the right of every citizen to
combat by argument, by propaganda
and agitation any and all religion.
The Party cannot be neutral to-
wards religion and does conduct
anti-religious propaganda against
all and every religious prejudice be-
cause it stands for science, while
religious prejudices run counter to
science, because all religion is some
thing opposite to science. Cases
such as recently occurred in Amer
lea in which Darwinists were prose-
cuted in court, c-nnot occur here be-
cause the Party carries out policy
of the general defense of science.
The Party cannot be neutral to-
wards religious prejudices and 1t
will continue to carry on propa-
ganda against these prejudices be-
cause this is one of the best means
of undermining the influence of the
reactionary clergy who support the
exploiting classes and who preach
submission to these classes. The
Party cannot be neutral towards
the bearers of religious prejudices,
towards the reactionary clergy who
poison the minds of the toiling
masses. Have we suppressed the
reactionary clergy? Yes, we have.
The unfortunate thing is that it has
not been completely liquidated.
Anti-religious propaganda is a
means by which the complete liqui-
dation of the reactionary clergy
must be brought about. Cases oc-
cur when certain members of the
Party hamper the complete develop
ment of anti-religious propaganda.
If such members are expelled it is
a good thing because there is no
room for such Communists in the
ranks of our Party"
