In our meditation on this historic
anniversary 1t Is well for us TO remem-
bsr that the FIRST 10 respond with relief
for Boston after the imposition of the
heavy penalty for the, tea party were the
people Of this section of Maryland, Of
which the District was then O part.
This District was then part Of Fred
er1ck County, and as such contributed
"a money and man power to this relief
There then existed in the hearts and
minds Of the people here the same
hatred for a condition Of taxation with
out representation as existed In Boston.
Descendants Of these our local Revolu-
aionary patriots are here today, and they
are taxed and required TO render mill
taTy service and bear ell Of the ether
burdens Of citizenship, but are denied
al representation In that Government
which their ancestors helped establish.
Surely there are the very best OF nat-
ura1 reasons for the people Of this Dis
trict observing this great anniversary

conditions and those prevailing In this

Russia Shows India the Way
Says 7 agore, Noted IndanPoet

Tagore, the well-known Indian
poet, who is of course, not a Com
munist, realizes the significance of
present cultural developments in
the Soviet Union. However, he does
not understand that such develop
ments were made possible only by
the proletarian revolution, and the
active support of the workers and
peasants state. Only as these con-
ditions are likewise fulfilled in In
dia, and British Imperialism driven
out, can such educational develop
ments take place there.-Editor.
NURING the recent visit of Rabin-
~ dranath Tagore to the Soviet
Union, arranged through the Society
for Cultural Relations with Foreign
Countries, meeting was held in his
honor at the House of Trade Unions
at which the Indian poet expressed
his impressions of Soviet education
in the following words:

vitation to appear in this hall and

kind words he has said about me.

problems, find their fundamental
solution in education. And outside
of my own vocation as poet I have
accepted this responsibility to edu-
cate my people as much as lies IN my
power to do. know that all the
evils from which my land suffers are
solely owing to the utter lack of edu-
cation of the people.
"Our poverty, pestilence, the COM
munal strife and industrial back

makes our life perilous, are simply
owing to the meagerness of educa-

very similar to ypilrs in this country.
Ours is an agricultural population in
India and it is in need of all the
help and encouragement that you
have needed in this country You
know how precarieus is living which
exclusively depends upon agriculture
and so how utterly necessary it is for
the cultivators of the soil to have
education, up-tqYdate methods OF
producing crops, lin order to meet the
increasing demands of life.
"Our people are living on the verge
of perpetual famine and do not know
how to help this, because they have
lost their faitht and confidence IN
their own humanity. This is the
greatest misfortune Of that great
people, 3oo,O0o,o00 men and women

you tackle this fproblem, you who
have struggled against the incubus Of
ignorance, superstition and apathy
which were once prevalent in this
land among the workingmen and
peasantry Theitlittle that I have
seen has convinced me of the marvel
Gus progress that has been made, the
miracle that has been achieved.
"How the mental attitude of the
people has been changed in such a
short time is difficult for us to re-
alize, we who live in the darkest
shadow of ignorance and incom-

know that the people, the real peo-

Soviet Theatres Hold Contest

Rustavelli Theatre, in the opinion of
the jury, is one Of the few theatres
to have mastered completely the
problem of new creative method.
In a number of productions, espe-
cially in the play "Anzor" presented
at the Olympiad, the mass scenes
were especially noteworthy. Scenic
problems were deity and simply
handled. nll. a.
The. jury noted! the important con-
tribution of the White Russian State
Theatre, which has approached the
problem of national art not through
emphasizing the 9exotic details of the
past, but by careful study of modern
Soviet life. Thes repertoire Of this
theatre was distinguished by its close.

Der of plays dealing with Soviet fac
tory life, the Red Army and SO on.
This theatre .wasealso praised for its
excellent direction, good acting and
clarity of language and diction.
The young Jewish Theatre of White
Russia has madej remarkable prog
ress during the tpast few years. Its
greatest virtue, in the opinion of the
jury, consists in the fact that it has
taken definite Stand for repertoire

plays "Batvin,td' "Girsh Lekkert,"
Jim Kupperkop," "The Struggle of

atre has stimulated the growth OF

ments were very line, and thu troupe

and directors.
The Uzbek Dramatic Theatre,
which was established under the
Soviet Government, was adjudged by
the jury to have. made great progress
in overcoming the social conservatism
Of the Uzbek people and in adapting
national forms to,subjects of contem-
porary Soviet Interest. The two
plays, "Khudjums and "The Cotton
Destroyers," produced at the Olym-
piad, Illustrated ethis tendency. This
theatre, in the opinion of the jury,
represented very gratifying sign OF
the awakening Of Uzbek national cul-

The jury placed the Tartar The
atre among the, foremost of the ma

cause of its fine group of actors, in
GLIDING those, who had suffered per-
secution in their attempts to de-
velop Tartar, theatre under the
Tsarist regime, and also some very
promising young actors and actresses

that a DISTINCTIVE group of national
