This Is The Criticism"
OF Class Enemies
New York, N. Y.
Comrade Editor:
BY Burck

New YORK, N. Y.
Comrade Editor
Esther Junger, on Sunday night,
February 3, at the Civic Repertory
Theatre, in conjunction with the
presentation of Waiting for Lefty"
danced Soap Box" in which she
satirized a politician, a reformer
(Salvation Army variety, and a
Communist, as soap boxers. I did
not see the performance, but I have
been told that while her technique
and imagination were admirable,
her satire of Communist soap
boxer evoked some justified Kisses
from the audience.
The question, in a discussion with
a liberal group. arose: Why DO we
enjoy the satirization of a politician
and of a reformer while we hiss
the satirization Of our own agitator?
The liberals in triumphant voices
singled out our reaction to this in
cident as perfect evidence of our
dogmatism
Several points arise here:
l. Certainly our class-enemies
satirize us enough in this super
ficial manner without our devoting
any of our energy in this direction.
2. This kind Of criticism does not
fall into the category of self-crit-
icism, because satire, by its very ma
ture, annihilates, and does not per-
nit any constructive criticism.
8. In the Soviet Union, where
the Communist Party is in power,
the population can enjoy humor at
their own expense Charlie Chaplin
VARIETY; but in the United States,
at a public performance, where
many politically backward elements
as we'll as class enemies are present,
we must use the opportunity to win
their sympathy by educating them
to the basic fact of the oppression
of the masses and its only solution
through the leadership of the Com
munist Party.
In this letter, have not been
concerned with the political devel-
opment of Esther Junger. I am con-
csrned with the taunt of the lilo
erals that we have baked at self
satire while approving satire of our
enemies in parallel situations.
The question remains with those
considering it, whether the grating,
hypocrisy of a politician, and the
Ipatronizing, misleading, sentimental
ity (and often insincerity) of a re-
former, can be paralleled with the
heroic, courageous, scientific Marx
sn-Leninism of a worker rebound

2es Rev. Holmes Want to Aid Enemies of the Soviet Union?

THE nature of liberalism" is once more revealed in
the statement by Rev. John Haynes Holmes on the
executions of the anti-Sovet plotters.
For Is years, Holmes declares, he has defended
me Soviet Union against misrepresentation and has
prayed for the of the revolutionary expert

Soviet Russia seems to be getting worse rather than
better"
Holmes says that he is unwilling to condemn hor-

Looks for Exposure
Of Huey Long
New Orleans, La.

New Orleans, La
Comrade Editor;
The time has come for a complete,
detailed, concrete exposure of Huey
Long and his Share the Wealth
movement. I am hoping that the
Daily Worker will take the initiative
in concentrated attack on the
Louisiana dictator who is using the
discomfort of the masses of workers,
poor farmers, as well as the gradual
degrading of the small business and
white collar people and intellectuals,
to obtain political prestige for him
self and to whip into line his polit-
ical enemies. j. j.

During the past year between 80 and 40 assassin
groups wormed their way into the U.SS,R. from sur
rounding fascist countries. They plotted to murder
Soviet leaders and hamper the building of socialism
THE SOVIET UNION HAS UNMERCIFULLY
CRUSHED THESE FOES OF PROGRESS.
Rev. Holmes must realize that it is precisely those
in the u S. and Germany who attack the workers and
all true progress who also plot murder against Soviet
leaders and ncte against the Soviet Union It is
against these people that the Soviet Union is defending
its right to build society.

Conlrade Editor
While I have frequently been on
the verge of writing to newspapers
upon matter of public Importance,
nothing has ever stirred me from
my laziness until I saw James
Casey's article on Hearst and the
Rats" cartoon. For both of these
please accept my very heartiest
congratulations, They were both
excellent and worthy of the very
highest praise.
My first striking contact with the
name of Hearst came many wears
ago in my freshman year at college
when professor Of mine character
lied Hearst in a way which would
spoil the appearance of any printed
page. Since that time, I have
found that not only did he not
exaggerate but that he didn't go
far enough.
Carry on your excellent work.
You have many more well-wishers
than you imagine.

DETROIT, July 23.-A direct bid
for foreign competition, further fuel
restrictions and the adoption of i'm
portant safety measures for the
protection of drivers, were the re-
suits of the annual rules committee
meeting held here late yesterday to
formulate regulations for the con-
duct of next years 500-mile auto
mobile race at the Indianapolis Mo-
tor Speedway May 80.
In reducing the fuel allowance
from 421a gallons to 371a gallons,
five gallons less than last years re-
quirements, the rules committee Of
the contest board of the American
Automobile Association also threw
out all engine restrictions, par

Safety Measures Adopted

Ions; Way Opened for Foreigners.

ticularly those applying to super
chargers.
The rule against super chargers
is said to have stifled European in
vaders for several years because
racing cars on the other side of the
Atlantic have been using this motor
stimulation for many years and have
been reluctant to change their motor
equipment.
Trial Run Gas Cut
A further gasoline reduction in
the qualifying 25-mile runs before
the race was ordered. Last year cars
were allowed three gallons with the
tolerance of pint. Next year they
will be allowed only two and a half
gallons for the elimination tests.
The safety measures adopted ap-
ply particularly to new drivers and
new cars. Drivers unfamiliar with
the track will now be required to
make apprentice" runs over dis
lance of 125 miles at speeds gradu-
ally stepped up from 80 miles an
hour to 10 miles an hour. These
tests will be supervised by a COM
mittee representing the contest
board, the Speedway and the driv-
ers themselves. The newcomer, re-
CARELESS of his reputation on other
tracks. will be required to drive 10
laps at 80 miles an hour, then 10
laps at 80 miles an hour, 10 laps at
100 miles an hour, 10 laps at los
miles an hour and finally 10 laps at
10 miles an hour. This will be an
absolute requirement before the new
driver is allowed to qualify.
Same Test for New Cars
New cars making their first ap-
pearance at the indianapolis Motor
Speedway or old cars which have
been remodeled in such a fashion as
to be considered changed funda-
mentally, will be subject to the same
125-mile test under the supervision
of the technical committee.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway
will further set up laboratory next
year, equipped with an X-ray ma
chine to examine all steering
knuckles and other car parts sub
jected to strain and stress and
these parts must have been exam
ined and approved by the technical
committee before the cars are al
lowed on the track.
Kelly Petillo, who won this years
race at an average speed of 106.24
miles an hour, used 40.125 gallons
of fuel for the 500-mile run, an
average Of 1876 miles a gallon. He
would not have finished under the
new 1886 restrictions, but will be in
spired to improve either his car
Duration or his fuel mixture, or
both.
The minimum weight restriction
of cars also was reduced from 1850
pounds to 1900 pounds, and the
previous rule which required cars to
weigh in at a ratio of seven pounds
a cubic inch of motor piston dis
placement was abandoned.
