Vivid Memoirs of Old

Illegal Czarist Days

The life of the professional revo-
lutionaries," the gallant working
class fighters who braved jail, tor
ture and exile to build up the
movement that swept the tsar off
his throne and launched socialism
in Russia, is wildly portrayed by
Cecilia Bobrobskaya in Twenty
Years in Underground Russia" now
being distributed by International
Publishers.
Leaving a little White Russia

Short WdUe Radio News

The interests of the ruling class
as expressed through the instru-
ment of the radio communications
industry are opposed to the inter-
ests Of the WORKER amateurs.
During the past year or longer,
class conscious amateurs have been
popping up now and then with the
suggestion of utilizing amateur ra-
dio in the movement. 1t dawned
upon them that there should be 3
sufficient number Of class conscious
amateurs in the country to estab-
lish trunk line which would not
be closed to working class kilograms.
For the last three weeks, this COL
umn has been asking amateurs (and
near-amateurs) to volunteer to &C
cept working class kilograms, to be-
come link in a red trunk line.
In New York, the result has been
encouraging. Quite a group of
amateurs and transmitters has
turned up. The only amateur out
side is one from Florida
The class-conscIous amateurs in
the rest of the country either don't
read the Daily" or don't read it
on Fridays, or don't read the Short
Wave News, or something. To anna
teurs whom we heard from a year
ago We have written by both regis
tered and plain mail. We have sent
one an amateur radiogram, but
there has been no answer.
This is our first organizational
step, and If we are to cement it,

more than in 1914 under capitalism.
Professional theatre workers reached
the number Of 47000-and these do
not know unemployment.
In the international field, there
are several good articles, better
than previous material. Readers
will thrill to the heroism of the
revolutionary theatre in China
simply related by r. Tru), where
its work goes on intelligently and
resourcefully, despite bloody re-
preston by the Kuomintang and
fascist Blue Coats. Very valuable
to the workers theatre is M. Lode's
account Of the controversy within
the C7echosloYian workers the
atre movement over the question Of
slogans VS., realism in revolutionary
drama. The position Of the I.UR.T.
leadership confirms the general line
worked out by the League Of Work
ers Theatre of the U.SA. in the
last two yesrs-for powerful artistic
creations, for the fullest possible
utilization of the technical re-
sources Of theatrical art: Propa-
ganda is not enough.
IT is interesting to read, too, that
in England at last revolutionary
professional theatre, the Left The
atre Of London, has been formed.
1t seems to be modelled much along
the lines of the Theatre Union. The
author Of this article, Andrew Gra-
ham, reports that the British Work

beginning to contact professional
theatre workers, and now has three

This is an encouraging development
in what was until recently one of
the most sectsrian Of all workers

Finally, there are interesting bio
graphical sketches Of directors and

Japan, of the young Englishmsn,

sketches it will ever be your pleas

national chronicles and news Of the
I.UR.T. sections conclude the issue.
With all its improvements, Inter-
national Theatre No. still has
shortcomings. First and most glar-
ing is the lack of single article
on the most influential Of all the
theatrical arts today = the film.
There are also no articles on the
United States, though the English
edition is circulated chiefly in the
u. s. and Great Britain. The edi-
tors have been having difficulty in
securing such articles. American
theatre craftsmen and writers have
an opportunity to perform an im-
portant service by writing for I. T.

BERLIN, June 20.-Vice Chancellor

Hitler flatly declined to permit his

Hitler. in fact. is reported to have
agreed with the vice chancellor in
many of the criticisms, but to have
disagreed on the propriety of making
them at this particular time and in
the sharp manner in which they we're
offered.
He Is understood, however. to have
promised Won Papen to remedy such
complaints as were justified.
Now that the smoke caused by the
speech has cleared away, both the vice
chancellery and the propaganda min
istry,-the branch of government most
criticized by Won Papen-feel confident
that their respective chiefs courses
were the only right ones.
