Senator Huey Long, to-

Long, a liar" when Earl
testified on the stand that
Huey Long had been paid
$4,000 by Harry Abel, who
said he was a representative

General Samuel T. Ansell,
counsel for the senate committee,
investigating John H. overton':
election to the senate, had asked
Earl Long if any money was ever
passed by Abel in connection with
state legislation.
"Yes," said Earl Long. "My
brother told me Abel had given
him $40, 000."
''You are lar" shouted Sena-

conflict and are not represented,
action is slowed down.
The Basis Of Representation
Geography was a good basis Of
representation when farmers made
up the bulk of the nation and when
communication was slow. But now
geographical interests have dwin-
died while oecupationAl and indus
trial interests have become diver

sented well except by propagan-
dists, lobbyists and special interest
groups outside the government.
The stake of the people in gov

runs its business is bound to be a
big problem Of the future.

"Baby bonds will not be fiat

exhibition without being impressed
with the reflection Of the class strug-
gle inside the revolutionary Party,
from the time Of Marx to this very
day, as manifested by the struggle
against opportunism, anarchist ad-
venturism. The lectures Of Comrade
Wicks and this exhibition will 20 a
long way toward clarifying the role
Of the Communist Party in the minds
Of many who have before not been
able to understand why the reyolu-
tionary Party must, at every decisive
point, fight to maintain its position
against elements that yield to the
pressure of a hostile class.
In the part Of the exhibition deal
ing with the RolsheYik revolution and
the launching and carrying through
of the first Five ear-Plan, the
theories of Trotsky are revealed in all
their absurdity, and their counter
revolutionary content clearly shown,
as is also the righteousness of the
position taken by the Right oppor-
tunists who foolishly declared that
the Five Year Plan could not be car

While each section of the exhibi-
ton tells a story Of its own, they all,
taken together, show an uninter-
rupted development of the theory
and practice of the proletarian reyo-
luton from the earliest writings Of
Marx and Engels in the '40s Of the
last century, down to this time when
the gathering forces of revolution,
under the leadership of the Com
munist International, founded by
Marx, are on the road to the final

BOSTON.-It is the general i'm
preston Of those in Boston who have
seen it that the Marx-Lenin Exhibit
ton that is being shown in connec-
ton with a lecture tour by H. w
Wicks is one of the most effective
things that has been done in this
country for a long time. I need not
dwell here upon the lectures. A tour
by Wicks, speaking on Marxism-
Leninism is in itself an event that
will certainly meet with response
everywhere he is known-and that
includes the whole country.
The exhibition itself is remarkable
for the wealth of material that has
bean gathered from many countries.
What strikes me as one of the strong
est features Of the exhibition is that
each one Of the twenty panels dis
played here is a separate story in it
self, so that II one wants some guide
to any particular event in the de-
velopment of the revolutionary move
ment, he can do so by studying the
panel and reading in Connection there
with the literature quoted.
Much interest was displayed by
those who saw the exhibition in the
facsimilies Of the original writings OF
Marx, Engels and Lenin. The repro
auctions Of the book covers of first
editions of the principal works of
Marx and Engels also attracted much
attention.
But what impressed me most was
the way in which there runs through
the whole exhibition the Importance
that the theoretical founders and
leaders Of the revolutionary move
ment attached to the Dictatorship of
the Proletariat. If ever there was an
array Of facts that completely re-
pudiate the social-democrati theories
Of using the capitalist state in the
interests of the working class revolu-
ton" it is this exhibition.
OF greatest interest to me was the
portrayal of the Paris Commune and
the two panels plumbers and 81
dealing with that Notwithstanding
event. One quotation appearing in
these panels is invaluable and shows
how Marx, during the stormy days OF
the Commune, wrote on April u, 1871
to his friend, Kugelman, saying
you will see, in my opinion, that the
next upsurge of the French revolu-
ton will be an attempt not to trans
fer the bureaucratic state from some
to others, as has been done hitherto
but to break up that machine. This
is preliminary condition of every
real peoples revolution. This was
precisely the attempt Of our heroic
Paris comrades"
In this exhibition also are por-
trayed, so that all can realize the
tremendous sweep Of the movement
the events of 1843 when revolution
swept through many countries OF
Europe.

The Bravest. Mother [ Have

Mother Of Two of Scottsboro Boys Recalls
European Trip With j. Louis Engdahl
By S. VANVEEN

When the history of the United
States will have been rewritten by
the American workers, the story of
Scottshoro will stand out at once a
symbol of barbarous persecution and
a heroic struggle for the rights of an
oppressed people.
Also, when that history is written
there will be a special chapter de-
voted to the brave self sacrificing
mothers Of the nine Scottsboro boys.
One of these mothers has two boys
in the clutches Of the southern courts
and at the mercy of the lynchers.
That mother Is Ada Wright.
More than two years ago she told
me the story of their leaving home
in the search for work. AT that time
Andy was seventeen and Roy not yet
thirteen years of age. The mother
did not want them both to go but
the youngest boy was so distressed at
the thought of separation from his
big brother who had been father,
brother and pal to him for many
years that mother Wright consented.
