IT is most fortunate that these
l two books, well-known in Eng
land since their publication there
over year ago, have now been
brought out in America. Professor
Hecker is admirably qualified to
write concerning the theoretical
aspects of Communism. He is a
citizen of Soviet Russia, has lived
there with his family for thirteen
years, and has been for some time
an official lecturer at the Univer-
sity of Moscow. Thus he has had
an unriyalled opportunity, not only
for becoming acquainted with all
sorts Of valuable source material
and original documents, but for
constant intellectual contact with
many Of the present-day leaders
in thought and action in the
Soviet Union.
Moscow Dialogues" uses the
symposium discussion form and is
divided into twenty chapters, each
one Of which can be treated as
unit in itself. An assorted group
of American tourists is represented
as having a discussion in Moscow
with Comrade Socratov, who pre-
sents and defends the Marxist
point of view. He is, incidentally,
much more certain of his own posi-
ton than the original Socrates of
Plato.
The Americans include Pro-
fessor sympathetic to Communism,
Banker and Senator who are
naturally opposed, a Humanist and
Reformist who admires the
achievements Of Sovietisrn but shy
away from the necessary means,
and Rotarian who makes typical
rotarian remarks. The dialogue
form of the book excellently full
fills its fundamental purpose of
making material which is essen
TALLY difficult more readable and
more interesting.
THE dialogues cover the whole
range of dialectical material
ism, including the special fields Of
religion, art, ethics, education, and
world revolution. DR.. Hecker's ex-
position of the historical back
ground and connection of Marxist
philosophy, both in Russia and Eu-
rope as whole, is far and away
the best have come across any
where. The relation of dialectical
materialism to Spinoza, Feuerbach,
and Materialists in general and to
Kant, Hegel, and Idealists in gen
eral is carefully discussed and put
in its proper perspective.
To sum the matter up in the
words of Socratov: "Dialectical
mate-lelism is the result OF a
union of materialism and dialac-
tics, of materialism which here
tofore was not dialectical with a
dialectics which up to then was re-
lated to idealism. The materialists,
beginning with Democritus, through
Hobbies, Spinoza, and the French
materialistS we're all undialectical.
The dialectians on the other hand
had their own lineage. Beginning
with Socrates, and descending
through Aristotle and Hegel, their
dialectics was founded on an
idealistic basis. In Marx and En-
gels the dialectic and materialist
PHILOSOPHERS were elevated to a
new synthesis in dialectical ma

In the WORLD
of MUSIC
On Opera
BY CARL SANDS

"1AN grand opera, Of high artistic
v standards, be produced at pop
ular prices?" asks Max Rabinofi, the
indefstigable impressario of a dozen
operate campaigns from Mexico to
Canada for over a quarter Of a
century, and now running the Cos
mopolitan Opera Association with
seats priced from so cents to $3.50
at the Hippodrome.
The answers are: mo" if it is to
be run as a profit-msking enter
prise; Not for long" if it is to be
run by philanthropic contributions;
EYES," if it is run by the govern
ment or with civic, state or national
subsidy. Rabinoff says he is run
ming it the second way with hopes of
eventually launching a municipal
opera house in New York City. Sue
cess here would win emulation by
other cities.
European experience demonstrates
the truth Of these answers. There
are hundreds of municipal opera
houses in Europe and practically
none of any other kind, America
has no popular priced opera houses
but many private companies that
show a perennial record Of going
bust. Rabinoff's shows here com
pare favorably with the perform
anceS at the houses in small Ger
man cities, say of $4,000 to 1Oo,O 900
inhabitants. They would look and
sound better in smaller house.
He says he is donating his time,
experience and income to the prof.
ect. From the size of the audience
he appears to be at least breaking
even; but of course there's no tell
ing how long things can go on this
way, nor what progress is being
made toward the ultimate goal of a
Municipal Opera House.

THE sugar pill that makes this all
1 go down is the music. Many fine
tunes, intensely moving and deserv-
edly popular are found in opera
partly because opera is almost the
only form of composition that pays
anything to the composer, so he does
his best). But how often does one
not see the claSS-conscious worker
with tears IN his eyes absorbed in
and tolerating the show that, were
it not for the music, he would scorn
and quite correctly denounce with
well-supported arguments!
The question of how much bour-
geois propaganda gets over cannot
be side tracked. And the question
of how much bourgeois propaganda
is actually in the music is giving
some musicians no little cause for
thought. We cannot answer the
second as positively, yet, as we can
the first. The class conscious
worker should give the matter his
attention, especially if he finds him.

BABY ORANG-UTAN
SUCCUMBS; VICTIM
OF MOTHERS LOVE
BIZ United Press

By CHlted PFeSS
CHICAGO. May r. = Betty
Orang-Utang was dead today, vic
tim of a too ardent love on the
part of her own mother.
The two-pound infant. fourth
orang-utang born in the United
States, died of malnutrition. At
PENDANTS at the Lincoln Park ZOO
said that nervous concern of
Nancy, the baby's mother, caused
a failure of milk.
Artificial feeding was impossible
because of the jealous manner in
which the 100-pound parent
guarded her offspring against in
truders. Keepers feared the baby
would be killed if they attempted
to take it from the cage.
Floyd Young, zoo director, said
that Nancy had attempted to feed
Betty yesterday by carrying milk
in her mouth from a pan pro-.
vided for ar own use.
THE baby seemed to take the
milk" said Young, but 1t
probably was the wrong kind or
insufficient in quantity. After the
baby died Nancy stared at her in
her arms awhile, laid her down,
then picked her up and rocked
her almost as a human mother
would. It took us almost two
hours to entice her to an end Of
the cage so we might get the
body"

CRIMINAL LAW
CODE BRANDED

Anti Crime Group Meeting
Attended by 0ut-of- Town
Representatives.

Representatives of many Indiana
cities met Thursday at the Clay
pool with the Indianapolis commit
tee, an organization dedicated to
the purpose of strengthening the
fight against crime in the state.
Purpose of the meeting was to
promote similar organiza tons
throughout the state which may be
welded with the local group in one
potent statewide anti-crime unit.
The three immediate and definite
purposes of the committee are to
simplify the criminal code to permit
speedy and effective justice, to re-
organize police forces on a perma-
nent basis remote from politics, and
to revise prison management meth
DDS
Chief speaker was Kenneth L.
Ogle, chairman and founder of the
indianapolis Committee. He urged
immediate work in behalf of a state
committee which would be powerful
enough to arouse interest in and
educate the average voter in the
crime problem.
Pointing to the fact that similar
organizations have sprung up spon-
taneously in other states, and to the
immediate and widespread support
which has greeted the indianapolis
committee, he urged speedy promo
ton Of the state organization.
He said that the present time was
especially favorable because the
public is aroused by the Dillinger
affair and recent escapes from the
Michigan City penitentiary.
He said that police problems had
become no less than those of an
army fighting skirmishes, but not
withstanding this, patrolmen and
officers were woefully underpaid and
UNDETERMINED.
He asserted that the criminal
code has become nothing less than
vehicle for the protection of the
criminal. Mr.. Ogle expressed hope
that immediate nonpartisan politi-
cal action could be taken to improve
prevailing crime conditions, and an
nounced that the Indianapolis Com
mittee had received responses from
more than tWo-thirds of the Indiana
county seats in its request for for
nation of allied organizations.
