prelude to LynchingS
prelude to q Lynching," by Allan
Taub, is first-hand account Of what
occurred in the Tuscaloosa court be-
fore the International Labor Defense
lawyers were forced, under yelled
threat Of death, to give up their de-
tense of the two Negro boys who were
later lynched-Dan Pippin, Jr., and
A. T. Harden. Taub shows that 1t
was no "frenzied mob" which was re-
sponsible for the lynchings, but "a
carefully organized lynch party" the
existence Of which was known TO the
court from the very start.
The August New Masses deyotes
almost four pages to the work OF
Harry Alan Potamkin, whose death in
July took from the American revo-
lutionary movement one OF its
staunchest' and most brilliant cul-
tural leaders. Two pages are given
to his poetry; an additional page
and a half to an excerpt from
pamphlet on the film soon to be
published by International Publish
ers. But if the intention Of the edi-
tors was to present Potamkin's ac-
complishment as a completely in
tegrated whole, I believe they have
failed What the reader receives is
a scattered series of piecemeal i'm
pressions of Potamkin'S life and
work-impressions that are both
fragmentary and garbled.
Other contributions to the August
New Masses include Joseph North's
1.-THE Earth Rumbles";; August %,

Their Hero" by Ilya Ehrenberg:
several timely book reviews by Carol
King, Michael Gold, Karl Priesthood,

Of course, we knew that one of
the basic principles Of the Soviet
Union is the end of all racial dis

had come to Moscow.

THE AUGUST NEW MASSES
BY EDWIN ROLFE

The New Masses, although it seems
TO make no Roadway in catching up
with it's normal publication date, con-
tinues to improve steadily In con-
tent. 1t is pity that the excellent
and solid material which appears in
the August number could not have
been on the stands and in the book
shops until last week. The editors as
sure me, however, that they are hot
on the trail of the thus-far elusive
first-of -the-month appearance.
-Four articles in the August num-
Der seem to me to be first-rate, timely,
important contributions. Included in
these Big -Four are two excellently-
written polenlics: Choose Your Uni
FORM" by Joshua Kunitz, and Five
Days That Shook Durant," by Pro-
fessor H. w. L. Dana.
Putting Eastman In His Place
Kunitz's essay is reply to Max
Eastman's snobbish piece Of distor-
ton, ARTISTS In Uniform" which APP
peared in the August number of 1.-THE
Modern Monthly" BY referring con-
tinually to the proceedings of the
Kharkov conference of the Internal
tionaI Union Of Revolutionary Writers,
Kunitz exposes the true intent Of
Eastman's article, which was to ridi-
cule and in other ways discredit con-
ference which was primarily an anti
war conference"
Kunitz's last sentence deserves quo
tation: Whether he knows it or not,
Max Eastman too is writer in uni
form; but not in that of the Red
Army"
Obit.-Dr. Will Durant
H. W. L. Dana places a permanent
tombstone on the pretensions Of DR..
viii Durant to honesty or self-integ-
rity. 1t seems that the grasshopper-
ish little goatee'd saint of Simon Sc
Schuster spent five days Of 1882 in
Moscow, sang a little song of praise
for the U. S. S. r. for the Moscow
Daily News and. hopping back to the
United States, decided to change his
mind for the Saturday Evening Post,
to the tune Of several thousand dol
lars. His articles in the Post were
published in book form and titled
THE Tragedy Of Russia" I, for one,
should like to see Durant attempt to
answer Professor Dana's article He
probably won't, because the New
Masses unfortunately lacks the one
thing necessary to move Durant to
essay the printed word: money to pay
for contributions.
The two other outstanding pieces in
the issue are Seymour Waldman's

Sure proof that colleges are
breeding grounds for Fascism.
There is a fraternity initiation in
this humorless movie worthy of
the Brown Pest Bands in Ger

point of insanity. At 2 p. M, the
day of the big game, the hero,
(R. Arlen) is found stupefyingly
drunk in the town hoosegow; but
after working on him with water
and alcohol, he comes through
sober as a trapeze artist, is able
to enter the game at 2:30 and

Glasses in biology, anatomy and

Irish Critic Sees Little
Hope for Success at
London.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 16.-George Bernard
Shaw. who has been exceptionally quiet
for Shaw-since he returned from the
United States, gave voice yesterday
through his whiskers to an opinion on
the World Economic Conference.
This week there Is the World Eco
nomic Conference consisting of an as
semblage of gentlemen not one Of whom
appears to know anything whatever
about economics, even of the most ele-
mentary kind" Mr.. Shaw said.
When you examine their qualifica-
tons you will find that they are all
gentlemen who have made deplorable
and hopeless mess of national affairs
in their own countries and have come
to the Geological Museum-a museum
of fossils-in the hope that since they
cannot get their own countries out Of
the mess, other countries may do so.
In three or four days they have
broken down almost hopelessly and the
more busy of them are going home.
Some day we must take things out
Of their hands and try to save civiliza-
ton"
The Shavian barbs came just as the
conference reported progress with decks
cleared of war debt wrangling and sue
cess of currency sterilization and other
monetary moves in sight.

LONDON, June 16.-The World Eco
nomic Conference began its seriou.
labors today with unanimous agreement
on five points and disagreement or
eight others.
Apparent accord has been indicated
by an analysis Of speeches on:
/. That stabilization of currencies 1.

2. Trade barriers-tariffs, quotas, ex-
change restriotions-must be lowered.
3. Monetary and economic remedies
for the crisis are interviewer.
4. The gold standard Is the best.
5. The world is at crossroads.
Points Of apparent disagreement:
l. When stabilization should take
place-some said Immediately others al
an indefinite time.
2. Raising wholesale price levels.
3. Public works programs.
4. Restriction of production, such a
the wheat crop acreage.
s. Creation of an international credit
institution.
6. Reconciliation Of silver.
7. The use of orthodox economic
methods for the uplift of the world. OF
more audacious inflationary schemes.
g. Whether intergovernmental debts
not on the conference agenda-must
be settled before the conference car
work effectively.
The conference set out today to find
solutions for the differences.

The Economic Conference
Methods Proposed to Economic Use of Gold and to
Bring About Better Distribution Among
Nations Are Aired.

| currency. There Is no exact method
to determine whether reserve of 90
| Is of 40 per cent is necessary to &C.
complish this result. Advocates of q
greater use Of silver in monetary sys-
| TENS propose a silver reserve of per
cent In addition to reduced gold re-
serve.
The gold exchange standard was
adopted by number of countries as
means of economizing the use of
gold during the postwar readjustment
period. Its use was recommended by
the Genoa Conference of 1922. Under
this system 1t is possible for q central
bank to maintain its reserves in foreign
exchange of another country. The gold
thus is held in the country where the
foreign exchange is payable in gold.
1t does double duty and has been held
to have contributed to imitation in the
period just prior to the stock market
collapse of 1929. Some of the nations
which thus held reserves in the form
of foreign exchange in London suffered
losses when Great Britain went off
the gold standard
The gold exchange standard was
shown to have defects but is is likely
to play part in some of the none
tary systems when there is a general
return to gold.
Other suggested methods of econo-
mizing the use Of gold are the with
drawal of gold or gold certificates
from actual circulation, as the United
States now is doing, the replacement
of bank notes of small denominations
with subsidiary coin and greater use
of bank checks, which are common in
the United States and Great Britain
but have not been used very exten-
sively in other important countries, in
cluding France.
In the development Of cooperation
among central banks in credit poll
cies, the Bank for International Set
Elements will play part of increasing
prominence. 1t has been chiefly useful
in work of this nature since the sus-
pension of reparation payments, the
transfer of which was its chief func-
tion when the bank was set up in 1880
at the instance of the Young Plan Com.
mission
Abandonment Of the gold clause in
public and private obligations as pro-
vided in legislation sponsored by the
Roosevelt administration will help to
economic the use Of gold. The obliga-
ton to pay more than $21 900 ,000, 900
of the public debt besides $4,000, ,000,-
900 or more of private contracts in gold
when the world monetary gold stocks
amount to only S11 600 100000 means
tremendous burden on gold. To elm
mate the gold clause would remove
this burden.
