Why We Call for Soviet
Recognition

BY NORMAN Ii. TALLENTIRE
(NatI. Org. Friends of Soviet Union
TWO of the questions uppermost
in the minds of increasing num-
bers of people today are: recogni-
ton Of the Soviet Union and the
war danger. These questions are
not unrelated Let no one be de-
luded that peace conferences mean
peace. The greater the number of
peace conferences, the greater be-
comes the danger of war. Between
the years of 1906 and 1914 there
were So peace conferences held in
different parts Of the world. More
than six peace conferences per
year for eight years straight-and
in 1914 the imperialist war began.
The war danger bears a parti-
cularly grave significance with re-
gard to the Soviet Union. In 1882,
81 per cent of the arms and am
munition shipped from France
(Which increased its arms ship
ments in the first eight months Of
1882 by 800 per cent over the first
eight months of 1880 went to
Japan, Poland, Roumania and
Jugo-SIavia in other words, to
countries on the border of the
Soviet Union. On the southern
border is Persia, another powder
barrel growing more dangerous
each day due to the rising con-
f1ict Of British and American in
terests over Persian oil. The Brit
ish Army is encamped in Thibet,
on the southwest border of the
Soviet Union, and is waiting
for something to break. At the
same time the japanese Empire
has 100000 troops in Manchuria,
within 10 miles of the Soviet bor-
der; while the Lytton Report to
the League of Nations proposes to
reinforce these troops by colonizing
in Manchuria all the white guard,
counter -revolutionary Czarist gen.
erals and forces, Variously esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000
a nice little reserve army with
which to start war on the Soviet
Union from the East.

cialism, UtOpian and Scientific.')
IITOPIAN Socialism came for
y ward as movement pre-
eminently in England and in
France, the two countries that were
the first to have developed the
capitalist system of production.
The movement represented a strug-
gle, on the one hand, against the
ever greater encroachment of the
big bourgeoisie upon the domain Of
the small producers who found
themselves in danger of being CON-
pletely engIlfed, and, on the other
hand, against the threatening mill
fancy of the young proletariat that
was beginning to realize that it's
struggle was no longer part of the
Third Estate that had overthrown
feudalism, but against the newly
risen capitalist class whose over
throw it must achieve.
The intellectualist Utopians who
mainly represented the outlook of
the petty bourgeois class, as well as
of certain sections of the industrial
bourgeoisie that had not yet come
into political power, were critical of
capitalism, but only insofar as the
CleSseS they represented sought a
greater extension of the benefits of
capitalism to the entire bourgeoisie.
The small producers wished to have
a place in the capitalist sun. While
striking their criticism at capital
ism, the Utopians went a step be-
yond, projecting their phantasies to
a n-capitalist society. The slim
illus for this was given by the true
striving for socialism already mani
Testing itself among the advanced
sections of the proletariat. 1t was
effectively a struggle for q Utopian
and non-realizable as against scien-
tific and readable socialism q
struggle that could be Waged by
these Utopisns only for "a short
time prior to the latter affirma-
ton of the revolutionary role of the
proletariat.
THE Utopians we're instrumental
L in projecting both critically and
positively theories that were to
prove contributions TO the develop
ment Of scientific socialism by
Mar and Engels. Charles Fourier,
for example in his penetrating
criticism Of capitalism, furnished
basic points Of Indictment against
capitalism for all time. Robert

experimental colonies, such as New
Lanark (Scotland), New Harmony

fallacy of attempting TO set up here

WHAT POLICY
ON RECOGNITION?

Has the United States recognized
governments set up by revolution?
OF course it has. There never was
even question about recognition
Of Spain after its bourgeois-demo-
cratic revolution. There have been
governments in South America set
up by revolutions" engineered by
American imperialism, or by rivals
of American imperialism, all recog-
nized once in power. The govern
ments of Greece, Turkey and Persia
were speedily recognized. The only
revolutionary government that has
not been recognized is the Soviet
Union, precisely because of the
fact that it is workers govern
ment, set up by workers revolu-
ton. 1t is a different kind of
revolution, a revolution that ushers
in a new civilization, not just new
regime.
we win recognition Of the Soviet
Union, does this mean stopping
the plans of the imperialists for
an attack on the Soviet Union?
OF course not. Without going in
to detail, we will merely point to
France and Japan. which have rec
ognized the Soviet government for
the last eight and ten years re-
spectively. Has this recognition
lessened the hatred Of the imper-
ialists of these nations against the
Soviet Union? Not by one jot.
Their preparations for war and
attack against the Soviet Union in
creaSes steadily.
RECOGNITION AND
THE CRISIS
Some cay, Let us tell the work
ers that If they help secure recog-
milton, it will solve the crisis" We
must not permit such illusions to
go unchecked. Under the second
Five Year Plan the Soviet Union
proposes to invest $1,250,000, 900 in
buying foreign machinery. But
even if every penny of that sum
was spent in America it must be
obvious that that would not give
sixteen million unemployed work
ers jobs for five years. 1t is true
that III the event Of recognition
some thousands of workers will get
jobs filling Russian orders. But
there must be no idea that recog-
milton will solve the capitalist
crisis.
THERE are good and serious
L reasons for recognition, reasons
that every worker and every friend
OF the Soviet Union viii under
stand. Recognition will mean nor

The honeymoon is over when the bridegroom of a month prefers jail to paying weekly allowance for the support of the bride.
 Notwithstanding his expressed preference for jail, however, Louis Sorrero. 25, of 12S Beverly avenue, was not taken on the one-way ride to New Haven by Sergeant John r. Brickel to-day. Following a family conference, Sorrer took an appeal from the decision of Judge Edward Nascolo that he should pay $lO week for the support of his young wife.

Hartford, Conn, oct 17.-(UP)- Sylvester 2. Poli, the New Haven immigrant who ran a wax figure museum into a chain of motion picture houses worth millions be- fore he retired five years ago. is ready to step back into the theater business, it was learned to-day.
 Poli sold his chain of theaters in Connecticut and Massachusetts to the Fox-New England Theaters Inc, in 1928 for $26,000,000. He received a large cash payment and took 76 per cent of the company's first mortgage bonds. The Fox New England then was controlled by William Fox.
 Now that the company is in re- ceiyership and being sold at public auction under the order of Federal Judge Edwin S. Thomas, Poli is prepared to bid in the properties to protect his own interests.
 Lou Sagal, Polis partner at New Haven, said to-day that Po1i would bid when the real estate holdings are offered Friday here and in Springfield.
 "He will protect his interests, but, of course, if someone wants the theaters worse than he does. he will let them go," Sagal said.
 The first sale was held yestes- day afternoon when Thomas J. Spellacy, special master. auctioned off bonds worth $3,326,000 for $65O,000. They were bid in by representatives of the bondholders reorganization committee. The

''but am not convinced beyond reasonable doubt that he was driving the au- tomobile at the time of the acci- dent. There was only one witness who claimed that he was the op- orator. but in his statement there was evidence of doubt"
 So the final chapter of three men arrested on the charge of intoxica- ton ended with all three cases be- ing dismissed without the driver of the car being convicted. Rosa's brother and friend, who testified for Silvia, accepted suspended sen- tences on the charge of intoxica- tion two days previous to Silvia being arraigned. They testified for him and claimed that everyone in the party was sober.
 The arrests resulted when the car with the Silvia brothers as pas- sengers collided with a machine driven by Louis Dinardo of S7 Woodtic road. It was Dinardo, who testified most positively that Silvia Rosa was the driver of the machine.
 The case was continued twice to call additional witnesses for both sides. but none was present this morning and Judge MascoIo made his decision on a case of unusual features,

Instead of oral testimony in the New Haven county grievance com mittee's report on Attorney John F. Tobin, it was agreed by stipula- tion of counsel in the case today that certain documents and rec ords of the case should be sub mitted to the court in order that decision might be reached. Judge Newelr Jennings approved the stip- ulation and instructed counsel to file written arguments within a few days.
 The stipulation was signed by States Attorney Lawrence l.. Lewis for the grievance committee and Attorney William E. Thoms ap- bearing for Attorney Tobin.

BUS SERVICE ON
 THE GREEN LINE
Petition for Change Now Before the Public Util=
 .ities Commission

A lengthy communication was re- ceived yesterday by the board of ed cation from the public utilities commission calling attention to the application of the Waterbudy- Milidale Tramway Co.,, commonly known as the Green line, asking permission to change from trolley service to buses. The paper stated that a hearing was to be held on the petition September 10, but in- asmrch as that rate has passed no action was taken on the matter.
 The only reason anybody could give for the board being notified was that the line abuts on the Chase school property, and prob ably the law required that notice of the change be given. The mem bers expressed no opinion on the subject, but it is no mistake to say that there is no objection to the proposed change on the part of the school commissioners. The bfs seems to be supplanting the trolley in many ploces, and Waterbury is no exception. Some day perhaps. the bus will go and the air service will come in ts place.
