tory gave an account of his work
to the workers, and after the direc-
tor had finished speaking the work
ers, engineers, and technicians
made speeches. The speakers told
not only of the progress made in
the factory, but Of defects and
faults in their work, which unfor-
tunately, are still an occurrence and
against which it is an absolute ne
cessity to struggle with all the
strength possible.
During the two years Of its ex-
istence the Cork Tractor
Factory, in the name Of Molotov,
has turned out $500 trucks and
light machines. It was in ma
chine produced at the Cork Auto
Tractor Factory that the famous
run across the desert of Kara KUN
was made. The machine passed the
test for speed and sturdiness.
During my stay in Cork I had
the opportunity of conversing with
many workers. And all of them
asked me to send their warmest
greetings to the workers on the
Daily Worker staff, and also to all
their American comrades.
In order to give you some idea
of the types of our workers I shall
bring few examples to your at
tention. Here is Mary Bobroff, a
working woman. For many years,
as a day laborer, she hired out in
the service of the priests and rich
peasants, "kulaks." Now she is
working at the Cork Auto Factory,
"a shock worker" A polisher.
Rather a boring art. And she is
planning to study to be lathe
worker.
You have 19-year-old Misha
Macksimoff, a Komsomol, who turns
out to be for the present the most
efficient worker in his group. And
here you would also meet Garasima
Pirisheff, once house painter,
whom the factory has raised to the
place Of one of the older masters
in the assembling sector.
Almost all the really responsible
positions in the factory are held by
just such people. The Dictatorship
Of the Proletariat gives each worker
the opportunity to grow and &c
ahead. What the worker succeeds
in accomplishing depends entirely
upon his wish to work and to study
With this last I bring my letter to
a close. ask my American COM
rades, where they can, to send me
snapshots and magazines.
With conradely greetings,
ANNA SMIRNOVA.

DURING our visit in Cork the

sary Of its second year of existence.
I and my comrades, who had made
the trip with me, we're invited to

looks as do all the others, to see Just
what he is like Then the settling
down to listen, each one feeling per-
sonal responsibility toward providing
the proper atmosphere. After that
one becomes one with his neighbor, ex-
ploring the realm of beauty, sharing
with him the same sentiments, seeing
with the same eyes until the final
moment when you are rivals in giving
expression to your common content
ment.
Where in daily intercourse can one
know the same socialbility that music
heard in concert form gives? When
would one permit their feelings to so
dominate them that they would seek
conversation with the stranger beside
them so that one might tell him
minutely ones reaction to music ex-
cept under the influence of such an
environment? by communicating our
grief we have less and by communicat-
ing our pleasures, we have more.
THE sudden interference Of the
courts to prevent young children
appearing in concert is the StrlcteSt
possible Interpretation Of the law.
The attempt to prevent little Gloria
Perkins from appearing with Nation
al Symphony Orchestra did not sue
coed, but it may prevent the recitals
of the Vienna Boys Choir and the
piano prodigy, Ruth Slencznski.
Laws now prevent the exploitation
of children to their physical and edu-
lot
may extend to youthful artists. The
claim is mads that these children are
not taxed too heavily and that their
education is not being neglected: that
little Ruth lives with her parents,
who provide nurse, a tutor and a
dietician to care for the child. When
she travels. 1t is said, her school
studies are continued each day with
her tutor, and her life is planned,
much as was Yehudi Menuhin's, SO
that she has time for play, time for
study and practice. The boys OF the
Vienna Choir, according to their
sponsors, are looked after in much
the same way. Also, the statement is
made that both the little girl and The
boys have talent which Is so great
that their chief pleasure is develop
ing it. Hence following music in
professional way is no hardship to
them
In order to accede to the constant
demands of Ruth since babyhood,
her parents. it is claimed, have bor-
rowed money to give her a musical
education. Since she began her public
career, half of the borrowed money
has been repaid through her earnings.
The Vienna Choir is church choir
which has supported itself by means
of concerts since it lost the patronage
under which it was founded. The
boys seem to be happy youngsters
who enjoy both an ease of living and
an education which they would never
have obtained If they had not been
selected from orphanages and poor
families as have these boys.
