,THE BEE: OMAHA, FKtDAY, . JULY J, lJZO. SOVIETS CARE FOR CLASSICS VERY CAREFULLY Subsidize Provincial Museums and Exercise Censorship Over Theatricals and Other Arts. By JOHN CLAYTON. . Nfw York Tlmf-Chlro Tribune Cablr. Copyright, 1D20. Paris, July 8. "The essence of L - i . i. r t I . f . I our worn in ine rem oi an is to preserve the classics, the master pieces of the past, and to bring them close to the masses of the present," Commissar for Education Luna charsky, from whose department il work of this sort is directed, said tj me in Moscow. "The task of the departmentjs to preserve all real art, removing from the theater cheap plays, light work, but retaining there and in the gal leries all the true art of the past and making it possible for the masses to etudy and understand. When we have completed this task our effor'.s will be concentrated on a second, in which we arc already making be ginnings, the development of a new proletarian art, under the changed forms and conditions of society. Retain Art Collections. "According to your American press!, and the English and French press as well, we have destroyed museums and art galleries. In the moment of revolt, perhaps, there were pome thefts or destruction in districts far distant from the capital. But the foreigner who knew. Russian galleries before the revolution w:H-fthe be surprised to find the art wealth which fills them now. We have taken every collection which for merly was closed to public view, ex cept those which were better pre served intact in galleries once pri vate, now open to the public, am.' ptaced them in museums where thy are open to the masses. ! '."Take, for instance, the collec tions at Gatchina what there is left of them after' the looting by the northwest' , army as an . example. I The czar's palace at Czarski Selo (Czar's Village, now known as the Children's Village) remains as he ! occupied rt. There are the old mas L ters and the new paintings which ' show the steady deterioration of art ..taste from the time of Elizabeth to the present, The .better collectioi-s iqf the homes of the same nobles villas which contained pictures of "i undying worth remain asthcy were. ;"The art of the churches belongs ta the congregations, but special historical examples have been re moved to the galleries and museums for better preservation. The selec tion of these pieces is done by a special committee to preserve ancient art. Subsidize Most Museums. "Provincial museums, which re ceived no subsidy under the old regime, are no subsidizedind pro tected by the government in order that not only Moscow and Petro grad, but the province towns may hve Jheir art treasures. J. 3"During the early stages of the revolution new art has been encour aged by state purchase of paintings off worth at a fixed price of 30,000 to 50,000 rubles. However, the artiMs themselves have asked to become state artists and in the near futuie we hope to create a state corps of 200 who will have everything pro 5ed for them and all of whose work will go to the government."

San Francisco, July 8. Finish ing -touches for the overthrow of the .Wilson "dynasty," executed so suc cessfully in the. nomination ot Gov. James JU. Cox ot Uhio by the oem ocratic national convention, will be applied by the prompt reorganization of the .national committee; Edmund H. . Moore, Cox's campaign man ager, is slated for national, chairman-. -Within the next two- weeks the new national committee, with its membership divided ' between men and women, will meet in Ohio, pos sibly at Governor Cox s home in Dayton, for the reorganization .scheduled to eliminate National Chairman S. Cummings. Edward G. Hoffman of Indiana, who is not so closely identified with the ad ministration, will be retained as sec retary of the committee;, v While the Cox men are not openly discussing their plans for "dewilson izing" the democratic party, it is ob vions that the administration men see tfie handwriting on the wall. Thomas B. Love of Texas, the "last ditcher." who never did re lease the 40 Texas delegates voting for McAdoo in the face of the Cox landslide, has proposed delegating to a subcommittee the power of electing new officers after the wishes of the nominee become known. Jones Supports Love. In that the McAdoo leader has support of Senator Jones of New Mexico and other dyed-in-the wool administration men still hold ing places on the committee. . Even Chairman Cummings. who senses the peril of his present situation, was somewhat surprised at the Love proposal. . "I had figured that the members of the national committee would be glad for this opportunity of meet ing the nominee and ..I must con fess that I see no other way of deal ing with the situation than by hold ing a meeting of the committee after negotiations with Governor Cox," said Mr. Cummings.

"There is no question about how Michigan will stand," he said. "I have sent out letters throughout the state and got from 700 to 800 re plies. All arc favorable to the.Hardi ing-Coolidge ticket.

"The Johnson men in the state are all in line. Thev are satified with the conduct of the Michigan delegation which stuck to its instructions in the national con vention." Chairman Hays took up the Mis souri troubles during the day.

"While we will miss them and regret their inability to be pres ent, we shall manage to get along without them." Secretary Hoffman is of fhe opinion that it is the wish of the committeeman from Ohio, Gover nor Cox's manager, Mr. Moore, that the full committee should be con vened in Ohio, either Columbus or Dayton, for the ratification of the plans for the campaign. K Mr. Cummings is authority for the statement that the meeting would be held at Governor Cox's conven ience in about two weeks' time and that it would be in Columbus or Dayton 'or possibly Chicago. Uenerally, democrats leaving ban Francisco are giving the so-called "big northern states" the credit for having forced .the Cox nomination down the administration throat. By the "big states" are meant New York, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mass achusetts, New Jersey and Iowa. But much glory must go to the Cox managers who made a real "never say die" fight. Charles h.

The confer: ence yesterday on the Missouri tangle was informal. Those who were present were Senator Spencer, Mr. Babler, Judge Matt G. Reynolds and David Procter. Postpone Settlement The" Missouri situation was dis cussed" in detail and it was finally, decided to postpone a settlement until another conference with the Sedalia committee in St. Louis. Reports that the national com mittee was trying to force the res ignation of Babler were denied.

Mr. Bourne compared Governor Cox and Senator Harding in a statement today, "Governor Cox is the survivor ' in a battle royal extending through 14 hours, engendering bitter animosi ties that .cannot fail to make more complete the wreck of the party at the November elections," said Mr. Bourne. "Unlike the republican convention which nominated a man on the 10th ballot acceptable to practicaJly albthe other candidates, who saw that their own hopes had vanished, th democratic gatheriirg chose on who had been in the fore front of the fight from the start, and who won out simply because bis assault on his opponents was the strongest.
