...Party members in mass organizations [trade unions, farm and fraternal organizations, etc.] shall work jointly in a comradely manner to promote and strengthen the given organization. It shall be the duty of Party members ... to explain the mass policies of the Party and the principles of Socialism, to endeavor to win support for them, and they shall abide by the democratic decisions of the mass organizations...
Meanwhile in Albany, Protestant ministers had attended a hearing on a proposal to strike from the State Constitution its article against gambling. Though they were voluble concerning the moral aspects of gambling, the ministers were unable to explain why gambling, any more than prostitution, should be specifically unconstitutional.

If it is felt that the couplets are needed to explain the murals, it might be better to wipe the slate clean and remove the murals also. At best they are glorified Liberty Bond posters. The great artist who painted them can no more have considered them representative of his best work than President Emeritus Lowell can be believed to have...
