Tribune Writer Finds Reds Active
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The Herald
Tribune today prints an article by
Tom Petty, staff correspondent, con-
firming the special correspondence OF
the Daily Worker regarding the
growth of the revolutionary move
ment in Cuba under the leadership
of the Communist Party.
Although the Tribune corre-
spondent did not travel far, and kept
to the main highways he reported
finding the workers in a revolution
airy temper, and the Communist
Party active everywhere.
The average wage of agricultural
workers, he says, is to 10 cents q
day. He writes that the invariable
reply he received to his questions as
to what the Cubans in the country
think of Communism is: when you
cannot earn enough to buy food for
yourself and family, you have a right
| to think as radical. Cubans will
! listen to Communism if its leaders
have anything to Offer"

was born in one part of the country,
whereas another, born in another part,
may at public expense proceed from the
nursery school to the highest scholarly
degrees.
