No Bed of Roses

WELL, there isn't doubt that Canada will not
" only be invited, but discussed at the Writer'S
Congress
AS will Mexico Cuba, and the Caribbean coun-
tries. One of the chief values of such congress
is that it creates new solidarity and gives each
participant living sense of his own wide prole-
tartan world:
Comrade H. F. has other complaints to make
and they sound familiar enough-the fact that the
practical organizers do not understand the function
of a writer in the movement, and seem determined
to turn all writers away from writing redeeming
them into organizers
The only answer to that is to go on writing
and writing Our young writer's, many of them
get discouraged much too easily for those who
have taken the proud title of revolutionary This
movement is no bed of roses for anyone Do our
young writers think that the older writer's are
being pampered, given any special privileges?
Do they think having your revolutionary novels
or poems published helps much to pay the butcher
or landlord? Or that having critics discuss you
at length solves your writing problems for you?
Writing is q lonesome" job, and in the last
analysis, always demands a great deal Of personal
persistence and courage. Some of the writer's in
New York and Chicago get some stimulus in meet
ing with other writer's find courage from knowing
they have loyal comrades who must meet the same
struggle. The young writer's, like the Canadian
comrade, who are isolated in smaller communities
miss this comradeship this mutual discussion
But they must not exaggerate it's importance
Often 1t becomes handicap to writing; the New
York cafeterias filled with the writeless writer's
people who talk by the yard very glibly about
literature, and have no time to do any work

W Brown fled. Away from the cold
stove and its cold ashes; from the
frigid draft and from the bed. He
was chased from home and sent out
on the street. He ran from there
In shame. From that street to an
other street. But the icy hand still
clutched him at the throat. He was
choking. The blood was rushing
from his head, and his legs were
bending beneath him. And then he
fell; and lay for a moment.
Apprehensive hands raised him to
his feet. For a moment he swayed
unsteadily and then he moved on.
He passed railroad station and
then walked in. He bought a ticket
to New Haven and sat down to wait
for his train.
Lorenzo Brown looked up from his
bench and there were creased faces
looking down at him. There was
a woman. Her face was almost upon
him. He could see her open mouth.
Her teeth were strangely white.
What was she saying? Who was
shaking him? What was it? These
two policemen. What was it?

Well, there he was, swaying as ne

A Literary Appendage

TT is STILL shockingly true" continues H. F.
that Canada is only literary appendage Of
the United States Particularly is this true of our
revolutionary writers. Certainly who at
tempts to write anything at odds with the strong
theological tradition Of our bourgeois literature
would think of sending it to Canadian publisher.
Neither have we any magazines where we can
function. We must look to the United States here,
also, but then into competition with all
you fellows, and naturally you mort interested
in material dealing with your country than
There is great hope for Canadian revolu-
tionary literature however. We have no bourgeois
literary background to overcome, native literary
tradition to speak of. 1t is virgin SOIL and we
can build from the ground up. But give us some
attention and help; it's what we most need at
the present moment. And you must invite Canada
to your congress, and give problems place
on the agenda Maybe we learn something
at such convention that will help us in our own
struggle for a Canadian literature in the interests

Foreign Concessions in Sopiet Union

Question: Did the Soviet government grant con-
ceSsions to foreign firms during the period before
the Five Year Plan? If they did are any of them
still operating?-M. K, Michigan.
Answer: During the NEP period, 1921-l92s, the
Soviet Government granted a few concessions to
foreign firms. The latter paid the Soviet Govern
ment royalties on their operations They we're
held strictly responsible for maintaining wages and
conditions as laid down in the Soviet labor laws.
These conditions had to be suitable to the work.
ers and were formulated by them through the So
Wet Government and the trade unions
These concessions were an unimportant part Of
Soviet economy With the rapid socialzation Of
industry they were terminated by the Soviet Gov
ernment, and at present there no foreign firms
operating concessions in the U. s. S. R.
1t is significant to note that the few conces-
sions that were operated never did so at the ex-
pense of the conditions and wages Of the Soviet
workers This contrasts sharply with the expert
ences of workers in capitalist countries where foreign
capitalists not only exploit the workers of a par
ticuar country, but are backed up by the fun
force Of the native capitalist state In the United
States, for example strikers of foreign owned
plants fare just as badly those who strike against
a native capitalist. And similarly the workers in
plants owned abroad by American capitalists, are
made the victims of a governmental attack if they
strike against their American bosses

GroLoth of the Communist Party

Question: How much has the Communist Party
grown during the crisis years7-B. K.
Answer: The membership Of the Communists
Party has more than quadrupled in the period
193O-1e34 rising from a membership of about $500
to over $1,000. The following table taken from the
report Of Earl Browder to the Eighth Convention
of the Communist Party indicates the steady growth
of the Party:
1931-Flrst half 1889 dues paying members
1931-Second half 9,2l9 dues paying members
1952-First half 1896 dues paying members
1932-second half 14,474 dues paying members
1933-First half 1894 dues paying members
1933-second half 1866 dues paying members
1934-First half $4,000 dues paying members
l934-second half 315oO dues paying members
1t is clear from these figures that as result
Of the correct political policies of the Party the
membership is increasing steadily It is significant
that the largest and most decisive period Of growth
has been in the past year. It was during this
period that the main BODY Of the Party member
ship began to seriously study their work in the
light of the Open Letter of 1888 With the SUBJ
sequent mastery Of its principles the Party en-
tered into a period of greater and more rapid
growth.
This does not mean that the Party is COM
pletely satisfied with the progress to date It is
striving to cut down the curse of fuctuation bv
better organzational work. 1t is developing better
recruiting methods. The inner life of the units
is being raised to higher level of political de-
velopment. In this way by better work ON the
inside of the Party and better work among the
masses in all their struggles the Communist Party
is marching towards its goal of becoming mass
revolutionary party rooted in the factories and
in every organization and activity Of the workers.

OBSTETRICS BELIEVED
AIDED BY ISOLATION
OF DANGEROUS DRUG

By United Press
CHICAGO, April S.-University
of Chicago scientists today an
nounced isolation in a pure form
of hitherto dangerous drug
which may greatly advance the
science of obstetrics.
The drug is ergot, long used in
childbirth but regarded by the
medical profession as unreliable
and dangerous to patients. Isola-
ton of the active agent in the
form of crystals revealed that
much of the undesirable effect was
due to a misapprehension of its
nature.
In its refined state ergot is a
colorless, tasteless and odorless
crystal. An almost microscopic
dose induces regular and easy la
Dor and minimizes the danger of
post-natal hemorrhages.
The scientists who developed it
are Drs. Edward Davis, FREQ L..
Adair and Gerald Rogers Of the
department of obstetrics and gy-
necology and Prof. Morris S. Kha-
rasch and DR.. Romeo r. Legault
of the chemistry department.

ARCHERY GAME

Brown County Area to Be

BY GEORGE H. DENNY
Times Stah Writer

A rugged area of 1900 acres, lib
orally stocked with small game. is
being established in the Brown
County State Game Preserve for the
exclusive use of modern wielders of
the long bow and cloth yard shaft.
AS in the days when Robin Hood

shotgun or crack of rifle will dis
turb these glades. The twang of
the waxed bow string and the feath-
cred hiss of the looSed arrow alone
will herald efforts Of present. day

The Indiana Conservation De-

opening of the season on Nov. L.
Only rabbits and quail will be
stocked at first, but grouse, wild
turkey and possibly even deer may
reward a successful stalk in years
to come.
Archers will be subject to the
same laws that govern hunters US
ing guns. A careful check will be
made of all game killed in order
to keep the area stocked to the
limit.
All parts of the one and one-half

can be reached by foot trails. Di-
rection markers will guide the in

Other plans for development of
the area include establishment of
one or more storm shelters and
outdoor stoves for cooking lunches.
The success or failure of the project
largely depends on the response of
the archers of the state and the
cooperation they give the Con-

PARIS, April 9.-Schools for spies
spring up in Europe wherever the
idle. rich md adventurous or poor
and desperate congregate over their
vintage brandy or cheap coffee.
The cafes d., luxe and the SUM
saloons or workingmens quarters
are equally recruiting places for the
army Of spies. and the profession is
rarely over-staffed. Scores Of spies
are constantly being captured. Other
scores constantly fall under sus-
picion and their activities come to
q sudden halt because they are no
longer useful TO their masters.
In majority of cases. the re-
cruits are completely ignorant of the
purpose Of their engagement, and
never know whether they are oper-
ating for France, Germany, Russia
or one Of the quarrel some little

Actuated by Hatred
The little stenographers Of Ber-

is possible they were actuated by
hatred of the present regime, as well
as by desire for thrills.

military or diplomatic secrets from
government departments was to
make confidential female employees
