Gigantic Memorial,
 Russian Revolt, Is
 Now Being Plarned

MOSCOW, Oct. 8-Flive Moscow engineers are enroute to the United States for final discussion of plans and specifications for gigantic memorial to the Russian revolu- tion.
 The memorial will be a palace to be erected by the Moscow Soviet on bank of the Moscow River near the Kremlin.
 After five years of planning and construction work, the builders now have a foundation strong enough to support the great edifice which will be topped with a huge statue of Lenin.
 It is estimated that it will take at least another five years to finish the work.

BefOgging The Issue
Cincinnati Enquirer


 It needs to be emphasized every few days that, contrary to a widespread assumption, Karl Marx is lrot running in this presidential campaign. In lr,cent years notably in the last municpa! election lin Cincinnati and in the presidential campaign, che of great objects of party strategy has been prove that the Communists the side of ones IC pponents After this is proved, however nothing is gained. Such tactics merely appeal to pre- judice
 As MT Frank Kent very sensbly observes the Communist vote is negligible and has not been sought 'by any candidate-exCept MT Browder. The reason many individual Communists and Socialists are going to vote for Roosevelt MT. Kent continued, is simply that they believe labor organizations would be strengthened and their own propaganda advanced by the continuation of MT. Roosevets policies and would be weakened by Republican administration.
 There a plenty of reasons for supporting or opposing either of the major candidates in their plat forms and personalities in the records and promises of their respective parties without dragging into the campaign the wholly irrelevant question of where the Communists stand. That only befog the issue and give distorted picture of genuine American opinion when the votes are. counted.
 Some day perhaps a generation from now, the survivors among may presidential contest be- tween Adam Smith and Karl Marx with a couple of pleasant fellows, about Is years old, their proxies in the actual contest But there is no use in anticipating that unpaatable event now.
