Russia such enterprises as the
building up of state farms, mean
an improvement of commercial
relations and in the long run, the
commercial relations will be fol-
lowed by diplomatic recognition on
some just basis. The only way for
nations, as for individuals, is to
speak out openly, without offense,
and then the time will soon arrive
for some agreement. The more
educated we become the more we
realize that we can accomplish
more by reason than by other
means. Great nations may differ
in opinions without nggravating
their relations, and great men come
to en- agreement on major que5-

gotiations by a definite agreement

moved their initial points of view

that diplomatic recognition is at
the present moment rather diff

is rather difficult. Personally I do

Editor Of Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:

Editor Of Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:
I want to congratulate the lead
ership of District No. for the ire
mendous Improvement in the hand
ling OF the Lenin Memorial meet
ing as compared to the Daily
Worker affair on New Years Eve.
Those of us who brought sympa-
thizers to this affair did not need
to, as we did New Years, apologize
for or explain" the boring pro-
gram. A worker who accompanied
me to both affairs signed an APP
plication for the Party enthusiast
tically last night. He said that he
saw we meant business when we
spoke of learning from our mis-
takes.''
would suggest in using the coli
scum, however, that the lights be
turned off and the speaker put in
the spotlight. This makes it pos
sible to see him and concentrates
attention. Too many of our COM
rades think that they can talk and
visit during a meeting. They should
act in more disciplined fashion
than they do. j. A.

often the comrade assigned for con-
centration work was given a lot of
other work inside the city. How
ever, this situation is being changed
but this principle leads to all the
handicapS and the shortcomings
that exist inside the mill. These
must be overcome.
THE section committee never con-
L cerned themselves with he
problems of the shop nucleus. Such
things as assistance, mobilization
of the Party for concentration in
steel, considering the wide area
where the steel workers live, the
utilization Of the street units who
are not Immediately connected
with the steel mill unit as a means
of carrying on work in the residen-
tial areas where the steel workers
live. In other words our whole
work can be characterized as re-
naming practically in the same
place-there were ups and downs,
but today the balance sheet shows
that we have not made any real
gains.
However, now with the resolution
of the 18th Plenum and other reso-
lutions which have brought for
ward the question of personal con-
facts very sharply we can say def1n-
itely that some changes are being
made.
SHOP PAPER WINS
MANY DEMANDS
No one has been developed suf-
ficiently to take over the editing of
the paper. 1t has been the pro-
duct of :. If went to
Jail the paper was also in Jail, and
did not appear. However, as far as
furnishing the contents for the
paper some articles were furnished
by members, but in the main most
of the contents were written by B.
We never had an editorial commit
tee or discussion OF articles that
were placed in the paper. However,
the paper itself has won the admir-
alton of the steel workers in the
plant, even though IL has many
faults. 1t has been able to gain
several demands for the workers
such as water fountains that never
existed, such as safety devices and
many others. Workers whom we
didn't even know went into action
and developed little struggle of
their own without our leadership,
only through the guidance of the
paper. These struggles came to
our attention only later.

THE fortnightIy magazine of the
Central Committee of the ALL
Union Communist Party "Bolshe-
vik" publishes an article by Stain,
headed mfr. Campbell inventing",
which reads:
"a book entitled "RuSsia-market
or menace" by Mr.. Campbell, well
known agricultural man who had
visited the Soviet Union, was re-
Gently published in America in the
English language. Among other
things, Mr.. Campbell describes in
his book his interview with Sta
lin which took place in January,
1929, in Moscow. This interview is
remarkable because every sentence
is either a fiction, or a sensational
garbling intended to create public
ity for the book and its author.
ITO expose these fables 1 find it
my duty to say a few words.
"Mr. Campbell obviously is Civ
ing rein to his Imagination, when
stating, that the conversation with
Stain, begun at p. m. continued
till late at night, until the dawn
AS a matter of fact the interview
did not last more than two hours.
M. Campbell's imagination is truly
American.
MIR. Campbell is obviously in
venting, when stating, that Stain
took my hand with both of his and
said: We may become friends. AS
a matter of fact nothing of the
kind did, nor could have happened.
Mr.. Campbell cannot fail to know
that Stain does not need friends
like Campbell.
at is another fabrication of Mr..
Campbell when he states that in
sending him the record of our con-
yersation L added a note: Preserve
this memorandum, it may become
some time an important historical
document AS matter of fact the
record was handed to Mr.. Campbell
by interpreter COmrade YarOtZky,
without any note whatsoever. MIR.
Campbell is obviously deceived by
the desire to speculate on Stain.
"And again Mr.. Campbell is fabri-
eating when ascribing to Stain the
words under Trotzky they really
tried to extend communism all over
the world and this was the first
reason for the rupture between
Trotzky and himself ii. e. Stalin),
that TrOtzky believed in world COM
munism, while he, Stain, wanted
to limit his activity to his own
country. This senseless fiction
which turns facts upside down can
be believed only by deserters to the
camp of Kautsky, Wells and MIR.
Trotzky. In fact the conversation
with Campbell had no relation to
the question of TrOtzky, nor was
Trotzky's name even mentioned
during the conversation. Mr.. Camp
bell is inventing one tale on top of
another.
"And so on, and so on in the
same style.
MIR. Campbell mentions in his
book the record of the interview
with Stain, however, he did not
consider 1t necessary to publish it
in his book. Why? Is it not be-
cause the publication of this rec
ord would Illustrate the whole plan
of Mr.. Campbell as regards sensa-
tionaI fables around the inter
view with Stain intended to Gre
ate publicity for Mr.. CampbelPs
book among American burghers?
81 think the best punishment for
the tale telling Mr.. Campbell would
be to publish the record of the con-
versation between Mr.. Campbell
and Stain. 1t would be the most
reliable means Of exposing the
fabrications and re-establishing the
facts"

"PATHOs OF BUILDING.r

''PATHOS OF BUILDING
Every period in the national de-
velopment has a pathos of its own.
We are now having in Russia the
pathos of building. Therein lies at
present its prevailing feature. This
explains the construction fever
which we are experiencing at pres
ent. 1t recalls the period which
the United States went through
after the civil war. Therein is the
basis and the possibility of tech
meal, industrial and commercial
cooperation with the U. S. A.
do not know what else is to be done
to secure contact with American
industry. Could you explain to me
what Is now preventing the reali-
cation Of this Impeachment, when
it has been established that such
a contact would be advantageous
both for the U.S.SR. and U.SA.
MIR. Campbell: I am quite sure
that a striking similarity exists be-
tween the U.S.A. and Russian
their magnitude, resources and in
dependence. Mr.. Stains reference
to the civil war period is quite cor
rect. There was an extraordinary
growth after the civil war. The
people in the United States are in
terested in Russia. I am sure, that
Russia is too great country not
to become a great factor in the
world relations. The men at the
head of the Russian government
have at their disposal the greatest
possibilities to accomplish great
deeds. The only thing that is
necessary is clarity of Judgment
and fairness.
I see the advantages of a proper
business contact, and am in close
contact with the government,
though am q private citizen. I
am speaking now as private in
dividual. Since was asked, what
prevents the contact between the
U.SA. and Russia, want TO reply
candidly, boldly, with due respect
to Mr.. Stain, and without offense.
He is man who thinks quite OBJ
jectively, which allows me to con-
verse with him as man to man for
the benefit of both countries and
absolutely confidentially. If we
could have official recognition,
everyone would strive to come here
to do business on a credit basis or
on any other basis, as business is
conducted everywhere. The reason
why American firms hesitate to do
business here or grant long term
credits is the absence of recognition

Boston, December 19 = (UP)- Traffic on the Cape Cod line of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad was back to normal today after being disrupted for 10 1-2 hours ywhile the lumber schooner Minas Prince of Parrs- boro. N. S., and a tug were wedged in the draw of the Neponset bridge. From 12:40 yesterday afternoon until 11:10 last night the bridge was blocked, necessitating make shift arrangements for an esti- mated 25,O00 railroad passengers. The Boston and Main Railroad and Boston Elevated Railway were among those who furnished busses to help reroute traffic. Confusion was great during the evening rush hours
 The War and Navy Departments and police of Boston. Quincy, and the Metropolitan district cooperated with the railroad in dislodging the schooner. The fleet of the Ross Towboat Company, one of whose tugs was wedged in the draw, strained to pull the craft free, suc- ceeding at high water late last night. The draw appeared to be undamaged. A strong westerly wind had carried the heavy schooner into the draw slantwise. causing the jam. Within a few weeks the Minas Prince had dif- ficulty going through the same bridge, and during the delay two trains at Atlantic station were in a rear-end collision which cost two lives. s

KELLOGG HAS NO FEAR OF ANOTHER
 BIG WORLD WAR
Former Secretary of State Says Nations Would Be
 Mad to Start It

New York, Dec 19.-(UP)-Ad- vocates of peace today hailed the address of former Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg, in which he secuted fears of another great war, and urged the development of "arbitration, conciliation and judi cial settlement" to end present in- ternational disputes.
 The one-time ambassador to Great Britain and world court member, warming that armament disputes may threaten the peace of all nations, spoke before a distin- guished audience gathered to honor the tooth anniversary of the birth of Alfred B. Nobel, founder of the Nobel awards.
 Neither Europe nor Asia will start another war unless they have gone mad" Kellogg, who won the Nobel peace award in 1929, said. If they have. my advice to our country is to keep our sanity and keep out of it.
 T do not mean by that that we should not use our influence for peace-our self-interest and the in- terest of humanity should dictate this course"
 Kellogg expressed belief that ''the time has not arrived when there can be total disarmament, but the reduction in armaments to a point where nations are in- capacitated for ambitious aggres- sion is entirely possible and, in fact is demanded by the highest interest of national safety" Nobel was eulogized as "prim- arily a creative spirit" by Prof AL bert Einstein, winner. of the Nobel prize for physics in 1921. Other speakers included Sinclair Lewis winner of the 1880 literature award and Dr Irving Langmuir, winner in chemistry in 1882.

New London, Dec. 1g-The im- portance of educating college stud nests for public service and parti- cularly for intelligent meeting of the present emergency, is stressed by President Katharine Blunt of Connecticut College in her annual report which has just been issued. President Blunt says that the stu ents should be prepared to play an active and effective part in pub | lie affairs, in elective and appoint i've offices and as private citizens.
 We must make particular ef- fort to remind the students that politics and public life in general are fields for women," she says.
 Du Blunt names courses in poli- ; tical science with a solid basis of history and theories of govern ments plus contact with practical every day politics, as essential in the preparation for public service. ! The president reports the pro- gress of the college during the past year and this fall under three as- pects-improvement in instruction through new faculty, courses and methods; improvement in general students life; and increase in beauty. Ten members have been added to the college faculty this year. Courses for independent study have ben increased and ad-

Kelley Holds Edge
 For Postnastership
Qualifications Difficult for Many Candidates to Over come-Lengttiy QuestiOnnaires Must Be Filled Out

Although advices from Washing ton state that the post0filce depart ment will ask the civil service com mission to hold an examination for the local postmastership. it is gen. eraIly held locally that Acting Post master James T. Kelley will gain the post despite the entrance of a number of prominent candidates in- to the field, for the qualifications are such it will be extremely difii- cult for many of the mentioned can dldates to qualify.
 Despite current reports, the ex- animation is not of the assembly type, but the candidates will mere ly fill out their applications and submit their records to the civil service commission when the exam ination is announced officially. . In choosing the postmaster, there are two factors considered. the candidates business record and ex- perience and their character and community standing. One phase of business qualification, which states that a candidate must have had business experience equal to five years of postal supervision, wi1f au- tomatically eliminate several of those seeking the appointment. Business experience and success counts for 80 per cent, while the re- maining 20 per cent is given for personal character, reputation in the community and public senti- merit.
 MT Kelley, with almost 38 years of postal experience, has a decided edge on all the other candidates as far as experience is concerned. He has, in addition, worked his way up through the civil service. thereby gaining another distinct

Idtional honors work is being done by the students.
 As regards the growth of the college Dr Blunt reports that the total enrolment this year exceeds last years record by 27, establish ing a new high, and exceeding 500 for the first time. That the growth of the college has been steady is shown by the fact that the growth has averaged 22 students each year since there have been four classes at the college.
 The loss of students 1932-33 was usually light. Of the enrolment of 5S3 as classified Sept. 3O,1932. III seniors were graduated, and 119 juniors, 130 sophomores and 207 freshmen completed the year.
 The problem of housing the stu dents has been greatly improved with the addition of Windham House. This year $40 or the 536 resident students are living in dormitories on the campus.
 The financial condition of the college is good, President Blunt reports. The present budget in cludes normal expenditures and . slight, but real increase in the item for salaries. The economy pro- gram of last year enabled the col- ledge to completely pay off its large floating indebtedness.
 The health records of the student body show that 18% of the stu- dents were entirely without colds last year and that 34% had only one cold. Careful check on the health of the students is kept by Dr Dorothea H. Scoville, the resi- dent physician, and especial atten- tion is given the matter of colds, which college authorities are at tempting to lessen.
 Dr Blunt states that this year an unusually large number of students have sought opportunities to earn money to help defray their college expenses. One hundred and fifty students asked for some type of part time employment. One hun dred and thirty four were placed, working in IA different college de- partments and earning a total of $15.93S.44.
 The amount and number of scholarships have increased. One hundred and two girls have been awarded an average of $215.

Motorists who are bound for points north of Chapel street in Waterville and who iail to heed the detour signs at tho jntersec- ton of Thomaston avenue and Huntingdon avenue. are finding themselves in difficulties when they reach the section of Thomas ton avenue which is blocked be- cause of sanitary sewer construc- tion. Not a few of them follow Chapel, Railroad and WeIch streets to Stevens avenue into the Plumb ers' Brass Goods dinu1wion yard only to find the way blocked, mak- ing it necessary to retrace their route to Huntingdon avenue. whence they must follow the de- tour provided over the private road of the Chase and Scovill companies.
 There Is a strong feeling that through traffic north from Water bury should be routed over Water town to Thomaston while work is in progress on the paving and sewer construction project in Wa terville.

ndvantaEe.
 The date of official action on the examination cannot be predicted with any degree of probability. Postmaster General Farley is still abroad, and some hold that an- nouncement of the examination must come from him, while others claim that the notice of the ex- animation will be sent here despite the; cabinet members absence.
 According to civil service pro- cedure. each applicant will be giv- en lengthy questionnairc to fiil out, which includes the naming of several references. The men named as references and large number of other leading members of the community are then questioned as to the ability, experience and char acter of the applicant.
 The reason for the examination Is still unknown as it was believed here that the acting postmaster would be named officially after he had served some months in the office. Since he rose from the serv- ice, no examination was necessary, but the appointment only had to be made by the president and con- firmed by congress.
