BARROW SAYS CRIME
ACCOMPANIES POVERTY
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 28.-Poverty
and crime go hand-in-hand, Clarence
Darrow, noted Chicago attorney, told
the Bronx County Bar Association.
Darrow said harsh treatment of
convicts would never eliminate crime
and that society should be reorgan-
lied so every man would be able to
earn a decent living.
People think the criminal acts
from pure cussedness," he said, land
that he acts frcm his own free will
Scientists will agreed that it all
goes back to heredity and environ
ment. Nobody willfully does anything.
Practically everybody who goes to
prison is poor"
Therefore, he asserted. a criminal
cannot be held responsible for his
crime He also said that reform
schools will never reform juvenile de-
linquents."

During the week, he hadn't seen
much of the other boarders. They
would be through with their supper
before he'd come in. In the morning
they'd be out when he was still in
bed.
Sunday was the first time he ate
breakfast with them. There were
eight men beside himself. They
didn't speak much and whatever
they said Cliff couldn't understand,
They spoke in foreign languages.
Only one husky fellow, whom they
called Steve, said a few words in
English.
Steve, it seemed to Cliff, was get
ting a kick out Of arguing with a
red faced looking Pole. Steve would
say something about a union and
mention some politics and the long

would chuckle. Once chunk OF

But Chang Kai Shek and his
clique of bourgeois officers in the
army, and his businessmen sup
porters in Shanghai, had already
arranged a betrayal of the Commu-
nists and of their own national revo-
luton. They made new alliance
with the Western imperialist diplo-
mats and bankers. First, through
deception, they disarmed the ma
jority of the Red contingents; then,
callously, they butchercd the revo-
lutionary workers. Some of the
troops escaped to become the
nucleus of the great Red army that
is protecting and advancing the vast
Sovietized sections Of China. Some
escaped in disguise to Japan, or to
the U. S. S. r., or to other refugees,
to prepare their return and their
reentry into the struggle.
How does Maltraux tell this story?
Never with a sense of masses in
motion; always in the detailed and
complex reactions of suffering and
solitary persons. And because the
individual, presented alone, must
appear in the pathos of isolation,
there is in such presentation al
ways tone Of defeat.

III.
WHEN the uproar stopped and Cliff
W got outside, it seemed to him
that he had been for weeks among
the Gathering machines and heaps
of wire. There was a foul smell in
the air all day. Now the sky looked
wintry blue. The sun was setting.
Cliff always liked the sun. He liked
to lie on the grass and be baked by
the huge fiery ball. But. now he
could only catch glimpse of the
last cold rays, like sabres sticking
up, sinking beyond the horizon. If
1t had been warm now, he'd have
run away.
He stood waiting for Pop. He
looked into the oil-greased, tired
faces of the men, passing by. They
walked slowly, dragging their ex-
hausted bodies. 1t seemed to him
that strong wind would blow them
of their feet. They looked like a
swarm Of black heads. They looked
a funny lot to him.
God, don't know how they can
do it" he replied, spending all their
time in this joint"
Pop noticed him. standing, watch
ing this procession.
"Burk did put you on, eh9" The
old man smiled. You're lucky"
Cliff was silent. He nodded.
well, I'm darn glad I started
you off with job. Now / guess
Ill have to find you a place to
board. A man that puts in a days
work is got have place where to
rest an there amt no room in my
house, you knows it"
Sure" Cliff said, indifferently
He left it all to Pop.
Now, let me see. I guess I'll take
you up to Person. She asked me
some time ago if I knew of any
boarders." Pop looked at Cliff in
quiringly.

They walked up to the boarding
house.
MRS. Person, fat, short woman
WI in her forties, was busy prepar-
ing supper when they came in. She
wiggled back and forth carrying
heavy pots, wiping her hot face with
her apron.
After exchanging greetings POP
asked if she had a place for Cliff.
Yes" she said, uncertainty" bu-
dyu know him, Ed?"
"Yeh, I do"

in Portland, and throughout the
state Of Oregon, the intensity
and scope of the anti-labor drive
differs only in degree from that in
California In practically every
Astoria. including Eugene, Medford
center beginning with Portland and
Roseburg, etc, the local workers
leaders nave been arrested, halls
and headquarters raided, beatings
administered.
In Portland a number of organ
izers have been held on criminal
syndicalism. In other cities the
authorities and vigilantes have re-
sotred to every sort of subterfuge
for holding organizers in Jail. In
Medford one organizer was arrested
and charged with non support.
Another worker who protested was
jailed for assisting him to escape. y
The Cannery and Agricultural
Workers union had organized some
1900 workers in and around Med
ford when the raids took place.
There is already, due to bad con-
ditions on the Portland docks, talk
among the longshoremen of an
other strike.
The lumber business has dropped
to about 80 per cent capacity.
There are about $4,000 registered
families on the Portland relief
rolls Tin a city of some 100000
population figuring only four to a
family, more than an entire third
of the population on relief.
Employment in the agricultural
fields this year in the state

duration because the crops matured
early (where they were not
burned out by the drought and
the work will be rushed through.
All these factors make it neces-
sary for workers to go into action
for the right to work and live. 1t
is these factors which have
speeded up the terror drive, proving
that it has as its main motive
wage-cutting, strikebreaking and
the open shop.
Faced with great difficulties be-
cause Of the constant arrests, police
patrclling of halls and bookstores.

organ. the Voice OF Action. in dis
frioution. During this whole period

Philistine With Head
Full of Fantastic
Garbage
BY KARL RADEK

Note: This review of Max East
mans ARTISTS in Uniform" was
published IN Izvestia, Moscow, on
July 18th. After extensive quota
ti0ns from the book, Radek asks
the indulgence of the Izvestia
readers for taking up their time
with Eastman's ideas. What he
has to say concerning these ideas
we reprint below
TIE literature of the professional
baiters of Marx has always been
on stupendously low intellectual
level. But compared to Eastman's
contribution, it is a towering noun
tain of science. The Stammlers and
Schummachers had at least read
Hegel and Marx. Mr.. Eastman has
never read them. The f1ippancy
which he assumes toward the great
est thinkers of mankind is typical
of little dog to whom piece Of
Michelangelo's sculpture is nothing
but g. stone to be used for certain
needs The wave which has
swept literary bohemia into politics
is apparently creating an anti
MARKHAM literature which depends
upon popular bourgeois encyclope-
die material and newspaper articles
as a scientific source.
Perhaps our scientific workers can
afford to disdain such literature;
We, politicians, can't. Lenin said
that the turn of the petty bourgeois
masses toward politics and the Rev.
olution would bring to us these
masses, poisoned with superstitions
of the Middle Ages. The political
awakening of wide strata of the
Western intelligentsia and their
turning toward the Revolution con-
fronts us with the fact that the
heads of these intellectuals are full
of the most fantastic garbage. just
think of it: this Max Eastman has
been an editor of revolutionary
intellectual journal. The Masses!
The intelligentsia have read him
and he still has a certain literary
namel
That Eastman's intellectual level
is that of an ignorant philistine is
not realized even by many of those
who believe that he is wrong in his
criticism of the Soviet Union. They
see in him a "revolutionist" who has
merely stumbled. But to us East
man is raving philistine, covering
up his ignorance with quotations
from tenth-rate literature.
In our struggle to win the intelli-
gentsia, we must reckon with the
fact that, as a result of its educa-
ton. dialectical materialism, or the
world outlook of the modern pole
tariat, is a closed book to it. This
proves once more how correct Com
rade Stain was when he repudiated
the condition of RAPP that an ar
fist must first accept dialectical ma
terialism before We can bring him
closer to us. We can win some Of
the literary intellectuals only in
the same way in which We won the
masses of the people, i.e., by appeal
ing to their own experience and ask
ing them to reflect this experience
truthfully. Only by bringing them
closer to us in this manner will we
be able to guide them farther-to
the acceptance of dialectical mater
ialism.
OF course, we are not concerned

PORTLAND, Ore. Aug. 22.-The
American Legion convention of this
state goes into session in Astoria
fishing and lumber city of 10000
population - next Thursday. The
Washington State Legion conven-
ton meets in Spokane this week.
The California state convention was
held recently in San Francisco.
The intention of these conven-
tions is to place legion officialdom
at the head of the anti-Iabor union
and anti Communist terror drive in
the three Pacific Coast states to
strengthen the union smashing and
strikebreaking machinery of the
employers in the four main in.
dustries: marine transport, lumber,
fishing and agricultural.
The situation in Astoria, where
there is workers cooperative
milk, butter, cream, etc. is typical
of that in practically all centers at
present. The insurance company
has just cancelled the cooperative's
policy, evidently knowing in adj
vance of Legion preparations, al
though it had remained in force
after the dynamiting of workers
headquarters by vigilantes in AS
toria about year ago.
This cooperative is a center of
the workers movement in and
around Astoria. Its members are
active in the unions and other
working class organizations. The
cooperative helps financially the
Daily Worker, the Western Worker
and the Voice of Action. 1t assists
other working class publications.
This is bad enough from the
standpoint of the employers and
businessmen but-this cooperative
pays higher prices than private
firms for milk, fish, vegetables and
other foodstuffs to the farmers and
fishermen.
This, in the eyes of the business
elements which dominate the Amer
lean Legion is high crime. There
is no doubt that the cooperative
plant will be wrecked during the
Legion convention, unless the
workers defense is able to organ
lie strongly enough to prevent it.
The Astoria Budget" has been
carrying on an intense campaign
against the unemployed. This pa

Liver Extract COnquers
Tropical Illness

I IVER extract, which is used sue
Il cessfully in the treatment of per-
nicious anemia, promises to cure a
troublesome and chronic illness of
the tropics known as sprue. Drs.
G. P. Rhoads and D. K. Miller Of
New York City report the clinical
cures of four cases of sprue which
they had not been able to cure with
the treatment previously considered
standard. BY injecting liver ex-
tracts into the veins or muscles Of
their patients they were able to eff
feet cures.
In their report to the American
Medical Association the two ply
sicians explain that sprue is a
chronic illness marked by sore
mouth, raw-looking tongue, and in
testinal effects. 1t occurs in tropic
countries and causes emaciation,
anemia, and frequently death. The
four cases treated were developed
in Puerto Rico and China.
Drs. Rhoads and Miller point out
that sprue requires more intensive
treatment with liver extracts than
does pernicious anemia. On 1925
Drs. G. r. Minot and w. P. Murphy
discovered that liver is especially eff
fective in the cure of pernicious
anemia) Apparently large amounts
of liver must be injected into the
muscles or veins so that this ma
terial, which is lacking in the
patients body, is supplied in the
most easily assimilable way.
There will be an interesting de-
velopment in the meat industry as
result Of this demonstration, which
requires large amounts of liver ex-
tract, Formerly calves livers used
to be thrown in with a meat pur-
chase as kind of premium. But
when calf liver began to be used
medically its price rose to 80 cents
pound, although the supply OF
