nor, Ito read Of your decision to go
back to your drawing. When you
write articles, they are always we'll
informed, clear, striking; but there
are a number of theoreticians who
can apply their MARKHAM formulas
equally well. When you draw, you
stand up like mountain above the
men and women of your generation.
Politicians an statesmen and or
ganizers are necessary; so are ditch
diggers, street cleaners, and sub
way guards. None of us can do all
the things which society requires;
and am happy to think that you
are once more going to do the thing
at which you are greatest and
which has made thousands of peo-
pie the world over love you"
IN the eleven years that have
"a )assed since that letter was writ
ten, I have, of course, fundamen-
tally altered my views about peli-
tics, though I still believe that each
of us serves the revolutionary
movement best by doing that for
which he is by nature best fitted.
Minor is an exceptional case; his
energies express themselves as well
in political action as in the graphic
arts. And being man whose ma
ture requires complete concentra-
ton, he abandoned art for action,
The choice was his, so were the rea-
sons. If it is an enigma, it is Of
personal nature. Let no one be per-
verse enough to blame the Com
munist Party for it. The Commu-
mist Party has again and again
asked Minor to draw; it under
stands and appreciates the value Of
art.
The remuneration was Minors;
the regret is ours. But the phe-
nomenon Of a great artist renounc-
ing his art for action is not specif1-
cally Communist. Let the thinking
intellectual recall the classic case Of
Arthur Rimbaud. What distin-
cuisines Minor from Rimbaud is
that his action was not that of es-
cape, of an evasive reconciliation

cases and other matters relating to
the courts and the working class.
His answers follow:
Question: What is your opinion of
the $1,000 yagrancy charges lodged
against San Francisco and other
Bay Region Communists during the
police raids of July, 1894?
Answer: Setting a blanket bail
charge of $1,000 against these de-
PENDANTS without investigating their
capacity to raise bail shows a CO.
operation between the police and
certain judges that demonstrates
reckless disregard of law. Public
officials indicted for bribery or en-
bezzlement are released on their
own recognizance. Gangsters are
released on no bail But $1,000 is
fixed for workers fighting to i'm
prove their economic conditions.
Question: Are the July Bay Re-
gion vagrancy cases against Com
munists tried on the law or by
prejudice?
Answer: AS an attorney in some
Of these cases, I cannot well an
swer this question, because of re-
strictions placed upon me, but Just
as Mooney was framed largely as
result of hySteria, caused by false
statements in the press, so has
hysteria been created by the press
against innocent Communists.
Question: Is the move of certain
Los Angeles lawyers to OUTLAW" the
Communist Party constitutional or
unconstitutional? Why?
Answer: The effort to outlaw the
Communist Party through court &C
ton demonstrates that a democracy
in reality tolerstes freedom of
speech only to the extent that free
speech does not jeopardize the in
terests of the propertied classes. The
Communist Party, if not at this
time, certainly in the not distant flu
ture, will be outlawed either by le-
gal means or by vigilantism with
the cooperation Of the authorities.

Banquet Celebrating
5Oth Birthday on

with the bourgeois culture which he
rejected in youth. It was, on the
contrary, carrying the battle from
the studio and the press-room to
the platform and the street. The
abandonment Of great gift in its
exercise was followed not by fight,
but by heroism.
The thousands of workers from
coast to coast, Negro and white, who
have heard Minor speak burning
words of revolt against exploitation
and oppression, the thousands who
have worked with him in various
revolutionary campaigns may not
remember him as the artist: they
know and love him as the prole-
tartan fighter, the working class
champion, who fears neither police
mems clubs nor prison, who does
not coddle himself as an "intellec-
tual," who struggles in our ranks
on the same terms as other com
rades.
CIGNIFICANT, too, Is the fact that
" Minor, born Of 100 per cent"
American stock, nurtured in the
language and culture of this coun-
try, part of its people, ''Nordic"
from the heart of the Khan plains,
has understood so deeply the mean
ing of the international aspects of
the proletarian revolution. He has
repudiated those elements who. less
at home in this country than him
self, have sought to cover up their
sense Of insecurity and their in
clpient chauvinism, by attempting
to "Americanize" Communism. He
has understood that in every coun-
try the workers fight under specific
conditions and adapt their tactics
TO those conditions, but always and
above everything, stands the soli-
darity Of the worlds proletarians
regardless Of race or nationality.
For this reason his 50th birthday
will be an occasion on which he will
be honored not only by workers and
revolutionary intellectuals in the
United States, but also by those of
Europe, Latin America, Asia, wher-
ever his name and work are known.
1 should like to add my voice to
theirs in sending warm comradely
greetings to Robert Minor = and
wish him many more years Of life.
health and energetic combat in the
revolutionary cause.

Tests prove the new Dodge easier riding,

as each driver sent his car 200
to 400 miles a day!
Amdzing Results!
But one car, in these exciting
experiments, proved to be 54%
to 65% easier riding, less fati-
guing, than the other cars tested!
That car was the new, bigger
Dodge. Even after 400-mile
trips, drivers were fresher, their
nerves steadier.
Il was interested to note,"
says DR.. Ryan, that drivers in
the Dodge car showed 54% to
$50 less fatigue, as reflected by
nervous and muscular impair
ment, than drivers of the other
cars tested"
Dodge Engineering The
Reason
The astonishing results of DR..
Ryan's experiments-the vast
variation in riding ease between
Dodge and other cars tested
are due to radical advantages in
Dodge engineering, with dozens
of special features designed to
give maximum riding comfort.
For instance, engine vibra-
tions are completely eliminated

ings. The manner in which a
Dodge is cushioned against road
shock by rubber at so many vi
tai points is another factor.
Saves Money For You, Too
Anyone can understand that vi
bration will slowly but surely
shake an ordinary car to pieces
with vibration smothered,
Dodge, of course, lasts years
longer. You don't have to pay
out money for repair bills that
constant vibration causes, either.
Remember, the name Dodge on
your car means that it is backed
by over 20 years experience
in building nearly three million
fine cars. Engineering genius is
matched by manufacturing gen.
ius. The result is important
operating economies. Dodge
owners report 1T to % miles on
gallon of gas" Both tires and
brake linlngs are saved by
hydraulic brakes. Valve seat
inserts save gas and postpone
valve grinding thousands of
extra miles. Dodge is SO well
and carefully built that it is
bound to save you money-be
a better investment for you.
Prove 1t For Yourself!
Any Dodge dealer will be glad
to let you test these facts about
Dodge for yourself. Drive a
long distance, through traffic,
anywhere the going is toughest.
See how smoothly you ride.

is to drive a Dodge. Get the
