Not nudity but the promise Of
nudity brings the customers.
It is a commonplace to readers
of Anatole France that dress
alone is seductive. Ten years
ago Florenz Ziegfeld, the most
astute judge of popular taste,
abandoned even the suggestion
of nudity; his girls are dressed,
dressed tastefully and beautiful;
if they look a little less ap-
proachable, they gain in appeal;
they are the peaches OH the
other side of the garden wall.
No Nakedness
It was interesting to note
that the managers of the nudist
gymnasium required every ap-
plicant to give assurance that
wife or husband had no objec-
tion to the practice of free
gymnastics. In Germany, where
the cult flourishes, wives and
husbands often appear sinu1-
taneously. I am not sure that
this makes for felicity. 1t is
one thing to be indifferent to
the appearance ones partner
makes and another to have
that appearance made public.
Europeans probably consider
us a backward nation. All this
business was canvassed in 1921
or so by Paul Morand in one Of
the stories in "Open All Night;
and the delightful novel called
Jerome" Cor The Latitude Of
Love'D suggests all the social
difficulties Of frankness, so that
we might have learned with
out experience. Still, If people
want to create difficulties for
themselves, I am not sure that
I mind. I'd like to know who,
apart from the law, protested
against nudism, and why.

ways trying out relationships, commu-
nisms and other sweet trifles. Economi-
cally they do everything, and all we have to
do is observe and learn.
The latest trick comes from Hungary, a
nation torn from the loving embrace of Aus
tria and rather sternly ordered to stand on
its own feet. With Poland it shares the
reputation of being "a proud people,;
aristocracy counts, and if remember cor
rectly, it has enjoyed both communism and
reactionary dictatorship. At this moment it
is enjoying a depression and has taken steps
which deserve onr tender attention.
The Washington times., 1931-12-16
A Tradition STAYS

Another tradition Identifies
the profession with the heart
of the country. It is recorded
that seven tailors of Tooley
Street "a miserable street it is
now, and not at all in the
class with Savile Row once
presented a petition to their
sovereign which began: 1--WE,
the people of England. ="
And now the people Of Eng
land have abandoned the tradi-
ton by which a gentleman was
never asked to pay the man
who made him look most like
a gentleman. It is saddening.
Or, as these very gentlemen
used misguidedly to say year
or two ago, sadmaking.
The Washington times., 1931-12-16
nOId Idea

When I read the report of a
raid on a nudist gymnasium in
New York I was certain that
the police had gone beyond
their authority. and was aston
ishei to learn that at some
distant point in our past our
forefathers had decreed the
state of nudity in the presence
of the opposite sex to be objec-
tionable. Clothes, they said,
make the man; clothes, they
believed, were the doom ana
fate of man ever since the
Fall. And clothed man and
women should be for ever
more.
The idea that the nude is n
some way attractive has often
appeared in the statute books,
but the experience Of bur.
lesquers and the producers Of
musical revues is against them.

A Tradition Goes

The tradition of the Savile
Row ard Sackville Street tailor
has been an honorable and
mystifying one. To judge by
English fiction, a tailor was
never paid until his customer
succeeded to the title. AS there
are ma:.J tailors and few titles,
the plight of the London cloak
and suitmakers was pretty seri-
Gus. Because, of course, they
had to extend credit to, and
make clothes for younger sons
as we'll as heirs apparent.
Their best chance was if the
heir was killed in a hunting
accident and the second son,
inheriting, paid off the bills Of
both.

At the same time the blow has
fallen in England: Bespoke
tailors, after a century of sub
missive waiting, demand to be
paid. What is more, they will
not delay their bills six months
or a year; they render bills as
soon as their work is done.
And they will not be satisfied
by a second order instead of a

Taxation, as most Of us are

to the public conscience we all

all this hiding of taxable riches,
fearing that people will begin
to take the depression seriously,
has appealed to the rich not
to live below their means. BY

A blue ribbon is a prize given for
attaining distinction, as for instance,
the prettiest baby at a baby show.
The phrase, Blue Ribbon Jury" is
applied to a jury that is made up
of men of more than the American
average of intelligence, or men who
are chosen for specific purpose.
When worker has to be railroaded
to Jail or electric chair, prejudiced
business men, tabloid minded NOR
ons or hired dicks are chosen. This
too, is Blue Ribbon jury. 1t gets
a blue ribbon for convicting a
worker.
The list of prospective jurors to
try the bank thieves as published in
the World Telegram is as follows:
''The jury to try tae men will be
selected from a blue ribbon panel OF

scribed in a letter received by the

I'VE left Rigo for Leningrad. The
train, passed the Soviet border at z
a. m. Here 1 must mention that the
group was very much excited. The
whole night everybody was anxiously
waiting to see the first Soviet land
and Red soldier. Finally the big
moment came and Red soldier en-
tered the train. We broke out in
big hurrah, cheered and sang the In
ternational. At the first Soviet Sta
ton (Ostrow), there was a big crowd
at the station, with banners and
music. 1t vas q real hearty welcome
We got to Leningrad at p. m. Here
the representative of the Supreme
Economic Council was waiting for the
group: but this was not all. The
station was so fully packed with
workers that we were hardly able to
get of the train. From the station,
buses took US to a palace where We
had a banquet, and where we gave
the Russion workers the greetings of
the W.IR. Of America.
1--WE have good rooms, equipped
from a teaspoon to blankets and
closets We had many meetings with
officials Oh the trust and with en-
gineers to whom we submitted our
plans, which are now under discus
sion. They want us mainly to build
small family houses for which we
need more machines. The plan of
the factory is ready. We probably
will start to build it in the Spring.
1t will cost approximately one million
rubles. At the present, a part of
the group is working in a sash and
door factory. The other part is work
ing outside on building making con-
crete forms.
"As you see, so far everything is
in order. We will be able to carry
our plan through every hardship by
working side by side with the Russian
workers and help them to smash all
the sabotagers and to complete the

of the United Farmers League was
held, with 1875 present. Reports were
made by all the delegates to the

The local papers carry publicity on
the meetings. The Stanley Court
House was packed with farmers and
their wives, and they took up full
discussion of the resolutions of the
Regional Conference.
The resolution for a moratorium
on farmers mortgage and tax pay
ments was enthusiastically sup
ported, and discussion turned on
practical ways to enforce it. 1t was
decided by all present that the most
important task of the United Farm
ers' League this fall is to build a
strong organization to defend the
land, the crops and cattle and ma
thinery against confiscation.
Plans were made to increase the
circulation of the United Farmer.
Much more support for the United
Farmer is needed. now that the post
office has denied it second class mail

NEW YORK.-Robert Minor, who
was one of the first leaders fourteen
years ago in the defense of Mooney
and Billings when they came to trial
on the San Francisco frame-up has
now supplemented the recently pub
lished Mooney pamphlet with an ex-
pose of the corrupt bureaucracy Of
the San Francisco and California
trade unions" who repeatedly stopped
all the mass movements to free
Mooney and Billings, thereby keeping
the two mihtants in prison for life.
The expose by Minor appears in an
article in the April number of the
Labor Defender just off the press.
Tom Mooney, who has recently
published his pamphlet which is run
ming serially in some of the left wing
papers, refers to Minor as one of the
staunchest friends the defense has
had. In Tom MONEYS own words:
For two long and discouraging
years Minor exposed the frame-up.
Minor in Mexico heard about
Mooney and Billings, their great need
and the lack of a capable person to
head the Defense Committee. Know
ing he could help, he rushed back to
San Francisco, and volunteered his
services. Everything looked black for
Warren Billings, blacker still for Tom
Mooney, but Bob Minor saw through
all the camouflage of the persecu-
ton and Immediately set about de-
nouncing the frame-up. For two long
and discouraging years Minor ex-
posed the frame-up. the labor
leaders vilified him but Minor
kept plugging away. His tremendous
efforts during the darkest days of
the Mooney Billings case need only
be contrasted with the tactics of the
labor leaders who DISTRACTED the
defense"
Minor, who is in strategic posi-
ton of knowing the Mooney case
from the inside, points out in his
article in the Labor Defender that
it was the militant action of the
workers in Russia that saved Mooney
from the hangman and that UNI
doubtedly he would long have been
freed if the defense would have con-
tinued along militant lines, Minor
