Wells: There can be no revolution
without a radical change in the
educational system. 1t is sufficient
to quote two examples: The example
Of the German Republic, which did
not touch the old educational system,
and therefore never became re-
public; and the example Of the
British Labor Party. which lacks
the determination to insist on a
radical change in the educational
system.
Stain: That Is a correct cbserva-
ton.
Permit me now to reply to your
three points
First, the main thing for the revo-
luton is the existence Of A social
bulwark. This bulwark Of the revo-
luton Is the working class.
Second, an auxiliary force is re-
quired, that which the Communists
call a Party. To the Party belong
the intelligent workers and those
elements Of the technical intelli-
gentsla which are closely cornected
with the working class. intel
ligentsla can be strong O. ~ if 1t
combines with the working class. If
1t opposes the working class it be-
comes cipher.
Third, political power is required
as lever for change. The new
political power creates the new laws,
the new order, which is revolution

What Kind of "Order?'
I do not stand for any kind Of
order. I stand for order that COR

First Complete Reproduction Of Famous
Interview Between III. C.. Wells and Stain

This Is the last installment of
the interview between Joseph
Stain and ii. G. Wells, reprinted
in full by the Daily Worker.
This conference Is the cIearest
and at the same time the most
effective portrayal of two forcet:
One, representative of an exnber-
ant and powerful revolutionary
system; the other, symbolic Of
those who perpetuaIly apologize
for capitalism and who desperately
make watery parallelisms between
socialism in construction and
reactionary profit system. The
text of the interview was taken
by c. Oumansky and approved by
H. g. Wells.

They're In the Middle

HUEY always claimed that the income tax cases
L against his men and the Investigations of his
own income were political actions. and failure to
bear down on Mr.. Weiss and Mr. Shushan would
tend to prove it. That is unfortunate for Mr. Weiss
and Mr. ShuShan, because it puts it up to the Ad-
mnlStratlon to go down the line with great vipor
Inc defendants find themselves placed exactly in
the middle by the Oft-reiterated words of their late
master He was so vigorous and cOntempuOus in
his pronunciation of these income tax cases as pot-
zeal prosecutions that the Administration seems
obliged to tear into Mr. Weiss and Mr. ShuShan and
send them to prison if possible though might
be much more pleasant to accept their surrender
and tear up the indictments
Huey accused the Administration of using
methods which were his methods although they we're
not original with him. He demonstrated the peril
of tax laws to political dsSenters when the enforce
ment and Interpretation were left to the discretion
OF the party in power
Huey was always willing to accept a surrender
and grant to the deSerer from the other side all the
DEMENT'S of existence under the dictatorship There
are many in the Long machine today who fought
Huey until their principles became too expensive to
be maintained further and then went over

The Fight Vas Personal

ME woe of the nation at large if he had lived
= to become dictator of the United States with
the Federal income tax law in his hands, is almost
100 terrible to imagine In Louisiana when he
wished to bear down he merely took the enemy's
money. This hurt severely, to be sure but Huev
Long in the White House would have been in A
position to take their money and send them to
prison as well.
AND II the courts had refused to sustain in
dlctmentS or had thrown out convictions on appeal
Huey would have fired the judges and replaced
them with reliable Judges as he did in louisiana
But even If Mr.. Weiss and Mr. Shushan should
have the misfortune to lose and be sent away there
still would be political smell to the whole process
and justice would gain no prestige The fight
IN Louisiana was fierce. personal fight between
Huey and the Administration. and these two men
were his managers.
There should be some way of administering the
income tax law which would make it impossible for
an Administration to use it as a political weapon
or to be suspected of doing So That is not the
case at present.

A trip to Folsom Prison, tar

be necessary. MONEYS counsel

Supreme Court promised that
Mooney could have all constitu-
tional rights, including that of
being present before witnesses.
Now it has ruled that Billings can
not be brought here.

eff liberty is dead, then where is
the body?" was the substance of an
address made yesterday by John w.
Boehne Jr., Evansville, Eighth Dis
trict congressman, to members Of
the KiWanis Club.
Speaking in observance of Con-
stitution Week, Rep. BOehne de
clared he believed that the United
States Supreme Court should re-
main the supreme arbiter on con-
stitutional questions, but that the
Constitution itself must remain in
the hands of the people.
THE leaders in Congress of all
political parties are not the manner
of men who seek to destroy their
constituents" Rep. Boehne declared.
Il challenge those who complain
that We have robbed the people of
their liberty, to point out single
example not based on public welfare
challenge those who weep over the
destruction of the states and the
demise of the Constitution to indi-
cate where we have stabbed it and
where it is buried"

for nothing" he declared. 1--WE
expected the government to strew
our path with roses. We wanted
to keep on taking out, hardly
realizing that we have to pay as
we'll. This condition built castles
in the air that crumbled.
"The pathway from the swamp
of despair must be built with
planks of economy devoted to the
principle that we must not spend
that which we do not have.
Speaking plainly of the past, we
were eXtravagant in our public,
private and business affairs"
He conceded that there had
been some great material gains
despite the dissipation of "some
of the finest qualities of our
people"
But while material wealth
grew" he added, moral wealth
deteriorated"

Gov. Landon is the true bust
ness man in politics. You can
sec how he loves figures and
statistics from reading his mes
sage to the Legislature. They
have the Coolidge flavor.
His theory is that government
costs must be cut to release more
of the citizens dollar to cOnsump-
ton of goods To this end he
consolidated state bureaus and cut
state salaries, in some cases as
much as 30 per cent. He pushed
the state income tax in order to
permit a reduction in taxes on
real property which bore heavily
on the home owner and farmer.
While he reduced salaries, he
did not stint on appropriations for
relief, for drought and flood con-
troll.

4 Book bU M. SeIdes

DUT it so happens that Mr. Seldes has been a for
ID eign correspondent and is entirely familiar with
the type of censorship which exists in Russia and
the type which exists in Italy and Germany. In
deed he has written a book dealing with the prob
lens presented to the newspaper in these lands.
Moreover, in examining the American press he
marks those barriers against the complete integrity
OF the news which may arise because of conditions
abroad rather than in the home office.
And. again, Mr. Seldes is too experienced news
paper man not to realize the almost inevitable i'm
projections of any craft built largely on the human
factor His criticism of the press is not at all from
the point of view of who would be shocked each
time it falls short of some Utopan ideal He lacks,
for instance. the fire which Upton Sinclair poured
into The Brass Check" but for that very reason,
perhaps Freedom of the Press can stand up better
against a recheck.
