FOR LANCER APPEAL
IN CONVICTION CASE
It May Be February, However,
Before Matter Is Present.
ed to Higher Court

Belief that it will be February be-
fore william LANCER can appeal his
case to the federal circuit court OF
appeals was expressed In Bismarck
Thursday by p. w. Lanier, U. s. dis
trict attorney who directed his prose-
cution on charges Of conspiracy
against the government.
The appeal will be taken from the
decision Of the jury which held him
guilty and the sentence of l8 months
In prison and $4,000 fine, imposed
by Federal Judge Andrew Miller.
Since the close Of the trial, Lanier
said, the court reporter has been hard
at work TRANSFERRING the testimony
and only finished the job early thia
week. The record, one Of the longest
ever developed In q criminal trial in
North Dakota. contains almost l,500
typewriter pages.
The next step, Lanier said. will be
to revise the record, now in question
and answer form. so that 1t can be
presented to the court OF appeals As
narrative.
This usually IS done by the attor-
neys for the appellant and is designed
to save time for the judges. Instead
OF the lengthy questions and answers,
the narrative form merely gives the
gist Of the testimony Of various wit
nesses, In . good deal the same man.

Lanier estimates that 1t will be the
first Of February before this job can
be completed and the case come up
In the court Of appeals for hearing.
Whoever wins or loses in the court
Of appeals, the opposing side would
have the right to carry the matter

IN THOSE DAYS

THERE Is no reason Why any Of us
4 should feel any constraint when
describing simply what We remember
Of the day Of Ilyich's death and the
days that followed. But it is very
difficult to recall. Whenever 7 at
tempt to bring back to my mind that
2lst Of January, 1924, I see before me
a snow-covered meadow, dotted with
the dark figures Of moving people. It
is necessary for many Of us to recall
the day Ilyich died. For the sake of
the history of liberated mankind we
must revive, out Of the millions of
impressions left in the minds Of hun
dreds of thousands Of people, the
emotions we experienced when our
teacher left our midst.
It was o'clock in the evening. A
bell rang. A voice shaken with tears.
Vladimir Ilyich has Just passed
away. There will be meeting Of the
Central Committee at g." cannot re-
member whether it was Comrade
GlyaSser or Comrade Fotieva who
phoued. I only know it must have
been some intimate friend.
Then came a call from the Bolshoi
Theater where the Congress Of So
viets was in progress. The telephone
rang again. I disconnected it. What
was there to say9
We assembled In the meeting hail

heads were lowered.
Lenin's Last Hours
Members of the Bureau ar
rived. They described to us Ilyich's
last hours. Decisions relating to fu-
neral arrangements were adopted.
After the meeting the whole Central
Committee took the train to Cork.
The railway carriage was dark and
gloomy. No one spoke. Silent also
were the peasants who met us at the
stations with conveyances.
Thus we went to bid farewell to
Ilyich. His face expressed eternal
calm which communicated itself to
US. All I can remember OF that scene
is some ones voice speaking OF Ma
dezhda Konstantinoyna. speaking as
to a child: "See how brave she is"
I can see the figure Of Stain bending
over Lenin's body, embracing his
;eacher's head.

Nadezhda KonStantinoyna spoke. She
spoke in that soft quiet voice Of hers
with that restraint which expressed
the whole force Of a life given over
to the Revolution. II vas not a per-
son speaking at the bier Of a loved
one, but a Party comrade who had
been so fortunate as 10 be on inti-
mate terms with the teacher and as
sist him in his work. But when she
said: vladimir Ilyich deeply loved

people nlosned like field OF rye

wept unashamed. And it seemed to
me as if Nadezhda Konstantinovna
laid her tired head on the bosom of
the working class.
The Speech of Stain
Stain appeared. He spoke in his
calm. somewhat husky voice. The
simple words that fell on his hearers
were akin to the emotions which
flooded the hearts Of the millions.
full Of the strength Of their will TO
continue the cause Of Leniu. 1 had
never heard such a speech In my life
and will never hear anything like II
again. His words were like stone
slabs wrought by history and in
scTibed with the teachings Of the de-
parted leader.
I remember the end. It was diff
cult to breathe in this Hall electri-
fed with emotion and flooded with
the sound of Chopin's funeral march.
Suddenly the band burst into the
thunderous notes Of Wagners Death
of Siegfried," paean to faith in
life intermingled with the fanfare of
battle. Then came the "Tntsrna-
tlonale," 1t was as If a window had
been flung open and a gust Of fresh,
frost-l9den air had burst in. The
delegates sang Justify, without tears.
They seemed to realize for the first
time that it was only Lenin's life
that had ended, but his spirit lived
end would continue to lead them
forward.
THAT night we went to the RED
4 Square. The workers were begin
ming to build Lenin's final resting
place. The frost was terrific. The
flames from huge bonfireS cast lurid
reflections over the Square. could
not help feeling that in these flames
the great materialist was being fused
With the nature he loved so we'll.
And when the coffin rested on the
shoulders Of his colleagues when it
moved forward followed by millions
marching in perfect formation. when
the Red Army marched militantly
past, and eannons thundered on the
Kremlin walls there was but one
thought: Lenin left a NEW ORDER
behind him.

IMPRESSIONS OF A LECTURE
ON GERMANY
San Diego. Cali

San Diego, Calf.
In a lecture at the Lincoln School
auditorium on Jan 18th sponsored
by the local socialist groups, Rudolph
Rocker, author, philosophical an
archist and refugee from present
Germany, declared, Behind Adolph
Hitler's fascist dictatorship stands
the power of the munition makers
not only Of his own country, but
those Of Great Britain, France and
Belgium" why the American nu-
milton makers, capitalists and indus
trialists we're not included was not
clear.
The speaker gave o very fair analy-
~ '''~""'-r an1 condition that
led to fascism in Germany. His
vivid portrayal of capitalist Ger
many's last stand, in the use OF
every barbarous means to force an
advanced nation back into the con-
ditions Of the dark ages, was very
convincing. His detailed description
OF the makeup Of Hitler's cabinet of
sadiSt torturers, morons, one Jewish
capitalist. plain lunatics, some af-
flicted with syphilis of the brain.
was very interesting and probably
new to many present.
Rocker described Hitler as being a
weak but willing tool thrust into
power by the big landlords and in
dustrialists to do their dirty work. in
a desperate effort to forestalI COM
munisn1, and not the "iron man" his
press agents would have us believe.
And stated, when Hitler realizes he
can no longer retain power, he will
plunge Europe into war"
The speaker. however, was not SO
convincing when attempting to show
the more direct reason for Hitler's
rise to power when he stated in an
swer TO questions,-'the Socialists and
Communists are equally to blame for
not uniting Being an anarchist, one
would not expect him to agree with
the Communist ideas, but to be
honest.
He knows or should know, and
recent history proves, that the Com
munist Party Of Germany, on many
occasions, tried to form a united
front against fascisin, on The only
way out-revolutionary overthrow of
the German bourgcoisie ruling class
but all their efforts were sabotaged
by the social-fascist and trade union
misleadcrs, reformers, who favored
gradual socialism" and were op-
posed to "force and violence only
against the capitalist class. These
takers and traitors have been found
out and their former followers are
uniting in an anti-fascist move
ment led by the Communist Party
in heroic struggle against Hitler
and fascism.
Naturally no one expected this |

lieve in the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat or other relationships, but |
he is misleading when he makes no

T'taE Communist prediction that with
! the sharpening Of the capitalist
crisis, intelectuals would show def
mite tendencies either toward a revo-
lutionary or reaetionary position is
being amply borne out by recent
theatrical developments. Even Broad
way traditionally immune to social
currents, bears witness to the mex
orable logic Of the socisl-econonic
situation. Naturally on Broadway the
emphasis is toward reaction. While
plays life the Siftons' "li93i-," RiceB
we. the People and some Of the
forthcoming work Of John Howard
Lawson, Melvin Levy and John Dos
Passos prove that an awakening
revolutionary consciousness may be
anticipated among certain sections Of
the middle class intelligentsia. the
burden Of Broadway production Is
given over to plays devoted to pleas
for the past and apologies for escape.
The unusual number Of costume
plays this season is the less conscious
form Of this reactionary trend. Not
that a costume play must necessarily
be reactionsry: the Interpretation Of
the past in the light Of present revo-
lutionary understanding is one OF the
most interesting and fertile methods
available TO the artist. But Broadway
costume plays are not Of this kind:
they generally aspire toward the
glossy picture postcard version OF
the past. Thus the School FOR Hus-
bands" instead Of being the psyche

original is transformed into a Little

Sec" becomes g futile pseudo

end even the more serious Mary OF
Scotland" is ali elaborate evasion. To
finish the picture, Alardyee Nicoll
the English scholar who now heads
the Yale School Of the Theatre,
writes in the New York Times that
the new drama is turning away from
realism, but ne neither attempts to
explain this phenomenon nor does
he point out that the reaction against

time an abandonment Of reality.

the stiffness Of the night came the
sound of a woman weeping, as peas
ants weep. And this weeping fell on
our hearts like rain falls upon

We carried the body of Ilyich to the

that I can recall Of this procession
were the absolutely white ears of the

mass Of millions of workers who sup
ported us by the very depth Of their
sorrow, their solidarity and sort of
unspo!sen challenge: close ranks!
And as we edged our way through
the dense crowd gathered around the
House Of the Trade Unions, we un-
derStood what Lenin meant by class
hegemony. The mass that bore down
upon the House Of Trade Unions was
not a purely proletarian mass. It
was mass OF poor, of simple people
