home on a furlough and having had the needed rest expects to return soon to his field of, labor in Kcnya colony, British East Africa. As soon as it is possible he will rejoin his wife and family who arc in Den mark and proceed from there to Africa. In the meanwhile he will serve as acting pastor of the Peo- ple's church.
 He was born in Chicago on Feb ruary 20. 1886, and lived there prac- tically all of his life until he went to Africa in 1920. Being orphaned at the age of 10, his education be- yond the grammar school grades consisted principally of extensive reading of which he was very fond, until 1916. At that time the need of the natives of Africa for spiritual help led him to enter the Moody Bible institute of Chicago to prepare for. this work.

The defense demanded to know
who was paying Barber for his stool

ment, the court overruled the ques-

admit, so far, who pays for his per-
juries.
Miller Declares Membership.
When Barber was asked which of
the defendants belonged to the Com

started, interrupted by Miller, one
of the indicted, rising in court and
declaring that he was proud to say
he did. Barber then picked Sklar,

Jersey Communists in
Ratification Meet

NEWARK, N. j., June Gone
hundred and twenty delegates from
all sections of New Jersey attended
the State Ratification Convention of
the Communist Party here Saturday.
They came from the basic, trusti-
fled industries and enthusiastically
endorsed the candidacy of Dozier W.
Graham, unemployed Negro worker,
as candidate for. U. s, Senator, to
run against the notorious imperial
list, Dwight Morrow of the Morgan
banking interests.
In addition, candidates for all
United States congressional dis
tricts of New Jersey were named,
among them Dominick Flaiani, A.
Heder, Morris LANCER and S. D. Lee
vine.
All these candidates, including
D. w. Graham, are on trial for
"sedition," because they fought for
the unemployed. Dominick Plaiani
has already been convicted by a
capitalist court on charge of "sedi-
ton" The nomination of these
revolutionary workers to be its can
didates is the answer of the Com

Gorky;s People Lie Again IN
|CQin and AYtem at Cameo

Here is wonder OF wonders.
Characters of novel come to life
and live over again the scenes of
the master wro created them. At
the Cameo Theatre, where Gain
and Artem" is being shown, the peo-
pie appear before the onlooker as
in life-the very roles as seen and
created by Gorky. 1t is stark real
ism-uncannally so.
Perhaps this realism is due to
the simple story, graphically told
by the proletarian writer who
knows his people. Perhaps the di-
rector, Petrov-Bytov, is responsible
in his uncanny choice of types and
the blending OF their unified acting.
Mayhap Gorky himself stood by and
all over again evolved his charac-
tiers. Whichever is correct, the
screening of Cain and Artem" can
be designated as life itself.
The novel by Gorky presents two
workers-Chaim, a Jew, nicknamed
Cain, and Artem, a physical giant
and the bully Of the town. Both
are hated and despised by. the pea
SAINTS and workers of this hell-hole
of Czarist days. These ignorant
creatures must hate someone-here
are victims ready for them. The
author looks at life as it is and
presents it before you. He paints
a mental picture and Petrov-Bytov
illustrates it upon the screen.
Throughout this tense dramatic
story of the friendship of Cain and
Artem, the author questions the pur-
pose of life.
Romance, too, plays a part in this
story. The love of the wife of the
fish seller for Artem. In their mis-
cradle existence they try, in their
blind cropping way, to find way
out.
Gorky points way out. In the
friendship of Cain and Artem, he
points the way. We must think and
fight our way out of this mire. We
can rise above this only if we fight
shoulder to shoulder for our rights.
eve must be men,"
In our judgment this is one of
the best films produced in the U. S.
S. R. by Sovkino. If any more
stories by Gorky are ready bring
them here. No wonder the German
critics raved and called this picture
mastery, tense, dynamic and over
towering. 1t is all that and more.
In our own town a "critic" on a
capitalist sheet decried the fact of
the picture being morbid. Gorky
answers this with-"Life under cap
italism must be morbid" In the
picture he points way to change
this.
Our warning to the reader: Don't
miss this film. You are in for the
best film treat you have had in a
long, long time.
The program at the Cameo also
includes the latest Soviet weekly

Social-F ascists Serve AS Bridge for Carols
Return; Help Cypress Masses

Government, subject to ratification
| by Parliament"
The International Telephone in
terests have been competing with
German-Swedish interests for the
telephone concession. Two weeks
ago" the Journal states, ct was
reported that the European tele-
phone companies would obtain the
Rumanian concession. The apparent
change in attitude of the Rumanian
Government, coinciding as it does
with the return of Prince Carol to
the throne, indicates that the con-
cession may have been the object
of political considerations in the
country"
And then the Journal of Com
merce goes on further to reveal that
the return of Carol to the Rumanian
, throne indicates the ascendancy of
the American imperialists in Ru-
mania. "The Liberal party in Ru-
mania, under the leadership of the
Bratianu family" the Journal sig
nificantly states, "has been the fac
ton most interested in keeping
Prince Carol in exile. 1t has also
been the party the most favorably
inclined to European capital. 1t
was recalled Saturday that with the
defeat of the Liberals last year
and the ascendaney of the Manu-
government American oil interests
were permitted for the first time
to compete for oil concessions in the
country on equal terms with Eu-
ropean interests. The return of
Carol was interpreted (by Wall st.
-Ed.) yesterday as marking the
termination of the Bratianu (anti-
American-Ed.) influence in Ru-
manian affairs"
Thus, Carols return, in which
the Rumanian army "played great
part" according to Professor Jorga,
Carols former tutor, means streng-
thening of American Imperialism in
Rumania, Rumania is in the grip
of a severe economic crisis. The
discomfort of the masses is growing
In addition to the tremendous bur-
den of the economic crisis, the Nor
gan loan will further increase the
exploitation and oppression of the
masses, and hence their resistance
and revolutionary fighting will. This
requires a consolidated and streng-
thened fascist dictatorship. Carol
is expected to help in this.
In the second place, Carols return
was brought about at this time in
order to consolidate the fascist
forces of the country for an effec-
tive attack against the Soviet In
ion. This must in no way be under
estimated.
Thirdly, it should be noted that
in this situation the social-demo-
Gratis have served as the direct
bridge for Carols return
