By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixhit Critic")
We have a feeling that one of
these days what is known as "the
reform element" is going to turn its
batteries on the Ontario horse -racing
scene; and when the shooting is
•over, a lot of folks who make a nice
living by operating race -tracks are
going to wonder just exactly what
hit them. It has happened before,
and can happen again. And if we
personally happen to be on the scene
at the time we will assume our
favorite role of Job's Comforter by
saying to the survivors, "Well, you
certainly asked for what you got!"
* * 'k
Horse -racing is supposed to be a
sport—or at least to have some of
the elements of sport in it. But this
year we have been treated to the
•spectacle of race -tracks cancelling
meetings at a few hours notice, then
starting up. afresh, much in the man-
ner of some gambling joint which
operates when, if and as the cops are
looking the other way. Old charters
are dug up and revived, until they
have made the biggest kind of a joke
out of the racing law's original in-
tention, which was that no track
should have more than two seven-
day meets in a single year.
* * *
Nor is it only the frankly com-
mercial tracks that are to blame, as
even the mighty Woodbine started
the ball rolling this Spring by hold-
ing a cheap meeting, under a charter
few people had ever heard of, a
week in advance of its regular Sox-
iety "opening." It's a sorry mess
indeed; and some day those respons-
ible are going to regret that they
allowed the money angle of their
racket to stick out so prominently.
* *
There arc a number of things we
•don't like about the average radio
comedian—but above everything we
detest the growing practice of
'"milking the audience" for laughs.
When a joke or gag fails to click,
the comic —by means of funny
,actions unseen by the listening
.audience—pulls a roar of laughter
front, those in the studio. Maybe
there are some of those sitting at
.11oine by their radios who enjoy such,
staff}•—but to us, and to a whole lot
more we have spoken to, it savors
,of the cheapest sort of shoddiness.
* * *
Much has been written about the
Brooklyn Dodgers great action in
giving a chance to Jackie Robinson, ••
first negro to play—openly that is—
in the Major Leagues; and many
pats on the back have been bestowed
on Branch Rickey, boss of the
Dodgers for his great -heartedness.
Now, it would appear that Mr.
Rickey didn't allow his generosity
to run away with his sense of profit
and loss.
* * *
By including Robinson on his
team, Rickey not only got the
greatest box-office attraction— both
at home and away—tile, team ever
had. He alsogot a man who was
'Probably more responsible than any
other individual for the Brooklyns
i)eing able to win the pennant, and
get into the World Series. Robinson,
playing in a position where he is
not at his best, hit, fielded and ran
the bases ill a manner thrilling to
behold, or even read about, especially
when you • considered the terrific
handicap he was under.
* * *
Now with the season over, comes
the news that Rickey paid Robinson
"something tinder five thousand" --
which is merely peanuts in those
circtes— and didn't even come
through with the tiniest sort of 7 ;
raise. i1'tiOle the "Dodgers think that
Robinson should consider . himself
lucky that they didn't charge him
admission to the park; and perhaps,
all things considered, he was!
* * *
Latest triumph of science is a
new wrist watch—of all things—has
an alarm attachment which can be
set to go off at any hour, As one
who has trouble enough groping
around in the darkness to choke off
a regular -size alarm clock every
morning, we can just imagine trying
to find anything so tiny, as a wrist
watch ?Ashen we are half asleep;
and as the price of the new gadget
is announced as from $150 to $300
apiece, we think we shall just wait
till they come down to 98 cents or
thereabouts. And they needn't hurry
about going into mass -production
either.
* * *
Of course the unseasonably warm
weather during the first few weeks
of the season may have something
to do with it; but we have a notion
the professional hockey addicts are
due for some fairly dull games be-
tween now and play-off time, The
rookies are out there slinging their
weight around and trying to stir
things up; but a lot of the veterans
seem to be imbued with the "what's
all the excitement about" spirit.
* * *
What happened to the Montreal
Canadiens Iaat year seems to have
made quite an impression on many
of the boys. They saw the Flying
Frenchmen practically outclass their
opposition for nine -tenths of the
long journey—then blow most of the
gold' and glory to the Maple Leafs,
who were lucky enough, or canny
enough to arrive at top form just at
the proper moment. Too great em-
phasis on getting into the playoffs—
and not enough on the necessity of
giving the customers a run for their
money, can do hockey a whole lot
of harm just as it is already hurt-
ing football, where we find two or
three weeks of games scheduled
which, with playof positions already
cinched, mean little or nothing either
to spectators or players.
* * *
It may not mean a thing; and
then again it may be a sign of the
tines. Anyway, just a few days ago
we happened to overhear a couple
of small boys arguing. "I tell you
it's true," said one. "The Russians
were on OUR side in the last war."
To which the other replied, in tones
of deep disgust, "Aw, go on—you're
nuts!" And, after reading much of
what is published nowadays regard-
ing the world situation, it's rather
hard to realize that, not so long ago,
we were hailing those same Russians
as the saviors of the world.
A New Approach
"Darling," said George, as gently
and as diplomatically as 'he could,
"doesn't it seen[ to you there might
be a little something—just a teeny-
weeny little something—lacking in
this pudding?"
"Yes, dear, I suppose there is,"
came the unexpected, reply. "But
it's your own fault. I told you we
should have a better radio."
"What's the radio got to do with
it?' demanded George.
"Everything," wailed the little
woman, "That's as far as I got with
the recipe before the dilapidated
old thing broke down!"

Forced Labor
On Large Scale
F. n id In Russia
(The following is a review in the
Christian Science Monitor of a
new book, "Forced Labor In So-
viet Russia").
"Forced Labor in Soviet Russia",
by David J. Dallin and Boris I.
Nicolaevsky, is one of the saddest
books that has recently appeared
in any language. It describes in
much detail a practice which the
authors compare to human slavery
at its worst. It is rather loosely,
thrown together, somewhat repi-
titious and not perfectly organized.
But it contains much terrible ma-
terial, the basic authenticity of
which one cannot reasonably doubt.
What the book appears to show
is that forced labor is found in
Soviet Russia on a large scale, that
it has become a basic part of So-
viet economy, that it is accompan-
ied by flagrant inhumanity, that
it is not decreasing.
The number of such forced labor-
ers is placed at from 10 to 12 mil-
lion men by Mr. Dallin—in addi-
tioii to a million or more women.
This is said by the chief. author to
represent more than one .in seven
adult male inhabitants of the U.S.-
S,R,
* * *
One of the most impressive sec-
tions of the book is Chapter IV,
entitled "How Many Camps and
Prisoners?" It lists 125 forced -
labor camps by name.
The camps themselves — some
small, others enormous—resemble
well - guarded penitentiaries. They
contain professional criminals, un-
faithful Soviet functionaries, and
political offenders. The profession-
al criminals are said to live the
best and to play leading roles in
the camps.
* * *
The authors consider forced la-
bor an inevitable result of the So-
viet system, evolving from political
concentration camps and obliga-
tory labor. They call the Soviet
claim of "economic democracy" de-
ceptive and ask: "If this is econo-
mic democracy, what is slavery?"
They say that the widespread,
relentlessly applied forced labor
show how the Soviet system is
reviving and augmenting the worst
features of Czarist Russia.
The practice of forced labor on
a large scale in Soviet Russia seems
proved beyond question. It is one
concomitant of the Communist ex-
periment.
