5000 H0xsemem Take Part
In Scenes OF PudOUkin Film

The Monaghan government coop
Grated with the director of "Storm
Over ASIA" now showing at the
Cameo, Vsevolod Pudovkin, when
the latter was on location in Mon
golia. For instance, when Pudov-
kin wanted to film a big episode of
the picture-a sort of trouping of
colcrs-it was staged with the as
sistance of the Monaghan govern
ment. The latter let it be known
that on a certain day there would
be held horse races, wrestling
matches and an exhibition of ais-
plane flying. In response, 5000
horsemen came to take part in the
display.
1t is interesting to note that on
this occasion the natives were shown
the film "The Cruiser Potemkin"--
probably their first experience of
the movies-and their reaction to
the film, their enthusiasm and re-
sronsive appreciation of the story
were such as to startle even the
Russian party.
In contrast to the initial opposi-
ton of the monks to the filming of
the sacred festival of masks, called
"Tzam," there were many groups of
Mongolians who came to be photo
graphed with extreme willingness.
In particular the inhabitants of one
village-all former irregulars--an-
swered the call Of the film party by
carrying out regular mobilization
of all their forces. They galloped
to the meeting place in military for
nation, armed with old muskets,
pistols and sabres. In re-enacting
certain scenes of the fighting these
irregulars played with extraordinary
simplicity and naturalness even in
scenes which called for very con-
siderable display of emotions.
An interesting fact, Characters
tic of the local conditions, was re-
vealed in the party's experiences
when an attempt was made to shoot
the village of the irregulars. This
village has 600 houses all strung out
in line. This reduced the setting
to one background, and to change
the latter it was necessary to move

1000 JOBLESS FOOD

NEW YORK.-An open air meet
ing was held at noon yesterday at
18th st. and Fourth Ave. This is
the central gathering place for food
workers, who vainly hunt for work
and are at the mercy of the en-
ployment agency sharks located in
this territory.
The Food Workers Unemployed

cessful meeting with almost 1000
workers listening to the various
speakers on the necessity of organ

up and hamper the meeting, were

RUBBER, STEEL--TWO
BLOWS TO THEORY OF
ORGANIZED CAPITALISM
Collapse of European Steel Cartel to Worsen
World Crisis
Rubber Goes to Lowest Price in History AS
Monopoly Attempt Again Fails

Firestone, Sieberling and Ford sour
ried all over the earth for rubber
producing lands, to overcome the
Stevenson monopoly. A proposal
was made to dismember the Philip
pines, so that Mindanoa Island could
be handed over to the rubber trusts
in the United States. Finally, Fire
stone put his clutches on Liberia
and started planting 100000 acres.
A. about this time rubber had gone
over 81 a pound. So effective was
the Wall Street attack on the rub
Der monopoly that in a short while
the Stevenson Act was withdrawn
and the price caved in.
Great Alarm"
During the present crisis the
British imperialists confronted the
Dutch East Indian planters propos-
ing a renewal of the monopoly plan.
No agreement could be reached and
even in this favored sphere an at
! tempt at organized world produc-
ton and distribution" by the rubber
monopolists proved worse than a
dismal failure. A London dispatch
states: "There is great alarm in
the rubber industry here and many
British companies are facing ruin.
The outlook is considered so
serious that many British companies
probably will go out of existence.
Americas consumption, which
was nearly 60 per cent of the world S
rubber, is said to have dropped
more than 10 per cent, and every
other country also is buying less"
In rubber, steel and sugar the
world crisis has wrought havoc.
But the full blow has not yet fallen.
The sugar industry is now playing
with a version of the Stevenson
plan, which is doomed to failure.
The collapse of the steel cartel in
Europe will bring more anarchy
into production with profounder eff
fects of the crisis. We have the
rubber capitalists own word for the
fact that ruin and disorganization
faces the rubber growers.
Thus fare the theories of "organ-
lied capitalism"

MILLION DOLLARS
FOR BEER HALL

Untitled steel orders dropped
441,S51 tons from the total as of
July 81, according to the latest re-
ports published by the United
States Steel Corporation. This is
the largest drop since the onset of
the crisis, and shows that the slight
squirt in steel production of from
one to two per cent is not based on
any increased demand, but is just a
speeding up of the orders on hand,
and will result in further reduc-
ton in steel production in the near
future.
That the small increase in pro-
duction is due to a lot of hot air
is admitted by a report in the New
York World (Sept. ~, which says.
"Some observers felt that the
U. S. Steel Corporation had quick
ened it's operations during August
and reduced it's backlog of untitled
orders only with the confident ex-
pectation of seasonal upturn in
business during the autumn"
Indications from auto industries
and building operations point def
nitely to the act that these slopes"
will be shattered.
This is shown by a report in "Iron
Age" leading mouthpiece of the big
steel bosses which says: Seasonal
recovery of iron and steel is slow
in Undertaking."
The further weakening of the
background of this most important
basic industry promises increased
unemployment for all steel workers.
For tn egreater part of the year the
steel mills have been working at
about half rate, showing that large
sections of steel workers have been
unemployed for nearly year, while
those employed have been working
on half time. Many thousands have
already suffered wage-cuts, and the
steel bosses, through 'Iron Age"
insist that wage-cuts will be put
through for all steel workers in the
very near future.
With the crisis worsening and I'M
employment admittedly growing
worse (even Hoover now acknowl-
edges it by his drastic order limit
ing immigration) it is imperative
that work be pushed to build up a
gigantic movement of all workers
to force through the Unemployment
Insurance Bill.

C. P. Campaign Comm.
Calls Negro Conf.

The report of Jim-C rowism IN the
schools of New Rochelle, N. y,
has called forth a vigorous protest
from the New York State Campaign
Committee of the Communist Party.
At the same time the Communist

that the National Association for

"The act of Jim-Crowism at New
Rochelle where Negro children are
sent to the Lincoln School, while all
white children in the same district
are sent to the Webster School
which is a few blocks away, IS one
of the features of the persecution
of the Negro masses by the capt.
talist class in America today" the
Communist Campaign Committee
declared. "This Jim Crowism is IN
line with all the determinations
against Negro workers and tenant
farmers and with the wave OF
lynchings that is taking place IN
the United States now, due 70 the
efforts of the capitalists to divide
the working masses and to scare
away the Negro workers from revo-
tutionary organizations and revolu-
tionary activity.

schools. The N. A. A. c. P. is con-
tinually supporting the republican

Responding to the call of the In

OERTAIN outside interests hav-
" ing consumed much of my time
recently, I have fallen quite a little
behind in keeping up with good lit
erature. Accordingly, last night I
took up a novel by Edgar Wallace.
It was attractively entitled "The
Hairy Arm" and in the first few
pages I discovered that it dealt with
a murderer who decapitated his vic
tins and mailed the heads to the
police.
This sounded promising as a bed
time story, but after chapter or
so in which the murders came
rather slowly I fell sound asleep.
This being my first contact with
the well-known Mr.. Wallace, I was
prepared to pooh-pooh his vogue.
To be sure, he is the favorite auth
or Of Haywood Hale Broun, but the
latter is only II.
At my age, I felt convinced, such
mild and feeble mysteries could
hardly be expected to seize hold of
the attention. Yet, though I slept,
1 dreamed of monkeys and murder.
And, solaced by this restful slum-
Der, I awole, determined to give
Edgar Wallace one more chance.

A Peace Proposal

Whether there is anything in the report that the
Hoover administration finally has come around to
the idea of joining in an international consultative
pact do not know. But hope the report is true
The rumor started in Washington last week. Now
it has been picked up in Geneva from French sources
and sent back to Washington. Apparently, Hoover
is making moves of a tentative nature 1t is not
clear whether he merely is sending up trial balloon
actually changing his policy, which blocked
consultative pact at the London naval conference.
We can think of many good reasons why the
United States should enter such treaty and none
why it should not
consultative pact is in line with American for
eign policy before Hoover took Office that principle
is written into the Washington arms conference
treaties.
A consultative pact is the first step in making
effective the Kellogg antiwar treaty which in its
present form has no binding force whatever
A consultative pact would give evidence that the
United States is sincere in its peace professions
fact widely doubted in Europe today.
A consultative pact would increase the European
sense of security and encourage successful general
disarmament conference, of which there now is
little hope.
consultative pact could not guarantee peace auto
matically, but it would provide a stop-and-think
period in time of danger and thus make war less
probable.
Most other nations already are bound in some
such way The United States is the only holdout.
1t is time for us to agree to confer with others
when war threatens, so that all our weight be
thrown promptly on the side of maintaining peace.

Santa Claus For President

One of the most soul-satsfying articles to appear
in recent months unquestionably is Elmer Davis
Characterization of Hoover the Medicine Man" in
the Forum It is his contention that both Hoover,
who spread fairy tales before the people in 1928 and
the people who believed in him have got just about
what they deserved and in just about the place the
blow should have landed.
Hoovers humiliation is as just penalty for his
responsibility and levity in making rash promises
the hardships of the American people for their
childish credulity in swallowing such nonsense. Hoo
yer went before the American electorate in 1928 the
political Santa Claus and the people fell for this Kris
Krinkle line. Now both are in a mess:
Mr. Hoover has let himself in for an unnecessary
lot of trouble by implied promises which he must
have known, in his saner moments, neither he nor
any one else could perform without lot of luck
(pously termed the help of God). But he made
those promises because he knew the people expected
hem and if what must up to this date be called his
failure has hurt the people more than it has hurt
him. we have got exactly what we deserved.
Hoover said what he correctly judged what the
majority of voters thought, and promised what the
majority wanted Adult Americans elected him for
the same reason that would have led Americans under
the age of 10 to elect Santa Claus. His fault? Yes
but ours, too"
The lesson is obvious Let us seek only the credi-
BILE and the possible Let aspire to achieve this
only by reasonable methods which will involve real
and proportonate efforts We must trust less in the
hocus-pocus of magician president. We never can
achieve real we-being unless recognize the bur
dens and responsibilities which this implies.
Prosperity is not to be secured by hanging up
stocking 1t can be attained permanently and on a
wide scale only by taking down few books, maya
zines and reports. and by getting down to real
business in study and observation.
The magic wand may enrich few but in the end
it must mpoverish the nation.

The relation between government and business
tends to become game between clever attorneys
When congress decides that an industry must be
regulated the ndustrys brightest minds go to work
finding ways to do the things it wants to do in spite
of law Eventually they succeed. And congress then
is confronted with new problem Of regulation.
At present we are in that latest stage The next
move is up to congress.
Years ago congress provided for regulation OF rail-
roads by the interstate commerce commission. It
made start at regulation of power utilities It
brought banking operations under federal control.
And then the attorneys thought of the holding
company.
Holding company has its merits, perhaps in the
changing industrial world Several public agencies
are investigating to see exactly what it may mean in
business economy business stability and investor Sc
curity. It may be an inevitable part of future
development.
But it already is obvious that the holding COM
pany whatever else it does has about defeated regu
ation as constituted at the present time.
The interstate commerce commission finds itself
unable to deal adequately with many railroad prob
lens, since it has become possible that dominance
be gained in the affairs of competing carriers
without commission approval by bringing them to
gether in a holding company.
Regulation of power and light utilities either by
states or by the circumscrbed federal power commits
sion, is becoming farce since utility men learned
how to transfer their profits rapidly from book
to another in holding company group that no exist
ing regulating body has a right to scrutnize.
And bankers, forbidden in most states to establish
branch banks or form themselves into banking
chains have turned to the group system" of as
sociatng financial organizations through holding
company control of stocks.
Public officials began to waken to the situation
some two years ago. Committees of congress have
been investigating bank and railroad holding COM
panies The federal trade commission is investgat-
ing the highly perfected holding company devices OF
the power light and gas utilities.
When congress meets next week, the interstate
commerce commission will its plea for an ex-
tension of power to regulate railroad holding COM
panies Bills to cover banking and utilities will be
pressed.
Congress doubtless will bring holding companies
under federal scrutiny and control. Then industry
doubtless will begin again look for oophoes in other
directions.
But in the meantime there will be valuable results
from regulation as there have been in the past The
railroad and utility industries much of their sue
cess to past regulation to guaranteed rates OF return
TO enforce soundness of securities. Their future can
not be as successful unless this public confidence is
maintained.
