They were young UkrainianS,
students Of Kiev University, who
were accused Of being politically
unsafe and socially dangerous and
had been sentenced to the penal
camps. Seven Of them had come
to the Pitsky base. Two had
died, two were sick with typhus
and the remaining three were
sent out to the forest every day.
The doctor went into the bar
racks. Just at this time sleigh
drove up to the gates and sew.
eral half-frozen prisoners literally
fell out of it. They were dressed
in rags, quite inadequate for
work in the bitter cold. Shiver-
ing and half CONCEALED, they
made their way towards the bar
racks with difficulty. Epecially
pathetic was the last prisoner, a
little Turcoman with a black
beard. He crawled on all fours,
yelping like a pup. I tried to
lift him but he could not stand
and continued on his way, weep
ing and emitting some piteous,
unintelligible cultural sounds. The
watchman looked at him indif-
ferently and continued to smoke.
I went into the office and.
spreading my Sheepskin coat on
the floor, lay down. The doctor
had not come back. About an
hour the commander of the base
had taken Zakhariantz to his
house for dinner. Our meal was
brought to us at the office.
at will end up in a general
drinking bout" said the book
keeper. "They will all get tight,
make friends, and everything
will be settled. Don't forget that
AarOnovich, Sergeyev and your
Zakhariantz are all checklists,
birds Of q feather. They will
have q little chat and a good
drink, your commission will go
back to Kotlas, and we shall
all remain here exactly as be-
fore. Men will get half-ratiOnS,
will continue chOpping off their
fingers, will die, will be beaten
and thrown into the dungeon,
and finally AaronOvich will re-
ceive official thanks for his
efficiency and for completing
his share Of the plan"
The cook came in and whispered
something to him.
"There, you see, it Is just as
I predicted! They are calling
for Lizzie. They say the cook
does not know how to serve at
table,"
We waited till the doctor came
and then started to eat the fried
salt fish and the millet cruel. We
heard singing coming from the
yard.
"AS I told you," said the book
keeper. "They are already
singing. Remember this morn
ing's loud threats Of arrest?"
The doctor was silently chew
ing his food and at the same
time writing and rapidly filling in
page after page Of the pad before
him. Though it was late in the
day, not more than half Of the
prisoners had returned from their
work in the forest. The doctor
wanted to inspect them all that
night. The next day he planned
to supervise the installation of the
sick prisoners in their new quar-
ters and after that he wanted to
proceed in the evening to the tim
ber-workS division nearest to the
base to inspect the seventy prison
ers working there.

Snickering and rubbing his
hands, he looked at the doctor
and then at me. His manner of
thinking and his cynicism were
exactly the same as that Of all
his counterparts in the OGPU.
He meaningly pulled in his lips,
got up and walked out Of the
room with an unsteady gait. The
doctor remained quiet for while,
thinking and holding his head in
his hands.
"NO, 1 shall not be a party to
such basenesS," he said at last.
what a scOundrel! You don't
know this man. Have you ever
heard the story of the prisoner
TretiSkova? This ZakhariantZ
forced her to live with him and
she was infected by him. l am
now giving her treatment in
KOtIas. 1t is such a pity. She
is quite young and an irreSpOnSi-
BILE sort.
"She told me all about it and
he probably suspects it. Well,
there was a certain engineer N.
at the transfer station, a very
decent young man who had
known her in Moscow before her
arrest. She told him the whole
story and he persuaded her to
come to me for treatment. Then
he wrote to MOnakhov, the COM
mander of the transfer station,
and sent him a complaint
against ZakhariantZ. Now the
unfortunate N. is kept under
lock and key on a charge Of
'wrecking,' and a new sentence
awaits him. That's what comes
from interfering with the cheka.
All for one and one for all.
And still, in spite Of it all, 1
shall have to quarrel with
them"
The b0Okkeeper came in. can
other squad has Just returned"
he said to the doctor. 'Tf you
want to inspect them, 60 right
now, before they 60 to Sleep"
It was half-past twelve. The
bookkeeper lowered the light OF
the kerosene lamp and stretched
out on his bunk near the stove
without undressing. Then, in a
low and pleasant tenor voice, he
started to hum the aria Of Lensky
from the opera Evgeniy Onegin.
When he came to the phrase, II
learned that life is not a ro-
NANCE" he stopped, repeated it
once again and then remained
silent. Curses and angry ejacu'
lations came from inside. Gradu-
ally the noise Gained down. The
indefinite outline Of the moon
could be dimly seen on the frosted
window pane. I finished my last
cigarette, rolled my coat close
around me, and fell asleep.

Doctor Warned

"This Is all quite clear, my
dear doctor" answered Aaron
Ovich with a growing inSOIence
in his voice, "but you forget the
instructions of Commander Box.
Sha: to fulfil the plan, no mat
ter at what cost And I shall
fulfil it. Tomorrow all those
will 60 out to work whom I shall
order to do so, and we are not
going to consult you about it at

He slammed the door and left
the room.
The doctor jumped up excitedly
and started pacing the room and
heaping abuse on Aaronovich. ]

vice and could not calm down
Our conversation was interrupted
by Zakhariantz, who came in
from the outside, rubbing the
frost from his glasses and squint,
ing in the bright light of the
room. He stepped up to the ia
BILE.
What is this 1 hear, doctor,
about your little tiff with Aaron
Ovich. This isn't right. He is
a very valuable worker, strict
but efficient. His work is pro-
crossing in very good shape"
"At the expense Of the dead"
interjected the doctor.
ooh, you see, that is not so
important" continued Zakhari-
antz in the kindly tone of a
man who has had too much to
drink. "We do not build the
revolution with kid gloves.
There must be sacrifices and
II SO, rather let the enc
mics Of the revolution be sacri-
ficed. The export plan must
be completed and it will be com.

Of thousands. Have you really
not yet come to understand
that We are not afraid of the
dead? For us the herd Of hu-
manity is but the manure for
fertiliZing the fields Of social
ism"
Like all checklists, Zakhariant1
liked to use high-sounding
phrases. He started his speech in
a kindly tone Of voice but ended
it with loud guSto.
"YOu had better not quarrel
with US, DOCTOR" he resumed.

TOXIC, November 9.-The publicity

oppose China's naturalization Of sill
yer and cannot overlook the social
and political confusion bound to come
to North China-which at present has
close relations with Japan and Man

force naturalization there"
This statement, from the most DOW.
erful department Of the japanese gov.
eminent, was entitled ''Views Of Army
Authorities" It attacked Great Brit
aims reported support Of Chinas cur
rency reform.
The statement said: 1.-THE currency
policy must b regarded a. Q selfish
action Of certain Nanking (Chinese

to line their own pockets or to enlarge

Japan must oppose such Marking
decisions threatening to sacrifice the
happiness Of the Chinese people and
to hinder the establishment of peace
In the Far East"

ment charges the Marking leaders
with selling the country to q for
eign power"
Japan, as . stabilizing force in
the Far East" said the declaration,
cannot overlook such an attempt by
Great Britain to reduce China to .
SEMI colonial status"
Observers regard u ss noteworthy
that nearly all recent japanese state
ments on the China policy have come
from military officials while civilian
officials have been unwilling to dis
avow, to criticize, or even to COM
ment on these military declarations.
However. foreign ONCE spokes-
man said: The Japanese government
deeply regrets that China suddenly
announced . currency reform which
should have been formulated only
after consultation with Japan and
after obtaining Japan's cooperation
in view Of Sino-Japanese relations. !"

HUNTSVILLE. Ala, November o.
The average college professor was de-
scribed as "the biggest fool on earth
by Bishop Sam r. Hay, presiding over
the North Alabama Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South
here yesterday.
The bishops remark was made dur.
ing . discussion Of colleges, during
which he said 1t would be better to
get rid of denominational colleges II
they can't do more than state
schools"
He told the conference denomina-
tional colleges should stress the re-
iigics as well as the academic side Of
education, adding:
II blame the professors. The big
sest fool on earth today b the average
college professor. There's . bin dtf-
ference between education and char
acter. Education can come from
books. but character must be molded
tn the student BY the professor.
Therefore. the professor b ths most
important thing in the college, but
few Of them realize 1t. Lack Of reN-
gious influence IN college b cheap sca-
denic education. and ! vtll Aeht

At least this is the confidential
report on the gathering as received
by President Roosevelt. Its general
authenticity has been attested else
where, although there seems to be
some disagreement about whether
taxation and spending are bipartisan
political issues.
At any rate, no direct action
Dds taken against the Ne,o Deal.
One or ttoo outstanding business
men who are Democrats are sup
posed to hdue attended the gath
ering. They opposed any step
phich would haze flavor OF polit-
ical partisanship.
Anti-Tax Drive Seen.
The first result has been the publi-
cation nationally that the National
Business Conference Committee will
start an anti-taxation drive. There
will be more of that later.
Leaders Of the conference believe
tenths Of those present were probably
against the New Deal but they real
lied that their votes count for little.
To make any action effective they
had to take q step which would have
the broadest popular appeal The
dual subject Of taxation and spending
seemed to meet the situation.
Furthermore, such q campaign may
help to keep down the spending wing
Of the New Deal Thus, its effect
might really turn out to be nom
partisan.
Note-There was no sensible reason
or excuse for the secrecy attending
the gathering.
Wall Street Pooling Again.
There are many inside rumors that
the Wall Street pool playboys have
donned their swimming suits again.
Gossips relate that the Securities and
Exchange Commission Is checking up
on Q lot more pool operations than
the one it has prosecuted
The fact Is the S. Z. c. has some
ticker tape detecttres OF whom it
is proud. Authorities here like to
belieDe no large operations could
escape their notice. They are al
Vdys checking up.
What these detectives seem to have
found lately Is evidence that there
could have been or might have been
some pools In certain stocks. But
proving 1t Is another matter, espec-
tally because the strong price jumps
of these stocks could also be logically
attributed to particular conditions af-
fecting them.

tives can mention any names, nor are
they likely to.

Basically, it was the inarticulate

Now. with that mistake 50 nearly

that certain producers Of alcoholic
