Marxism must be distinctly heard in Poland if a more or less “ free cultural discussion” is to be per mitted. The unusual problem facing the regime was discussed at a recent meeting of editors of leading liter ary and political weeklies with some members of the party’s Cen tral Committee. It was said there that unless some lively Marxist writings could be coaxed into ap pearance, the alternative might have to be a further tightening of political control over culture and especially over literature. Since the political upheaval of 1956, there have been complaints among some party leaders of the lack of an orthodox Marxist trend in Polish culture. For a long time, however, those who complained insisted that the reason lay in the domination of the press and publishing houses by “ revisionists.” This is the label ap plied to Communists determined to seek liberal reforms. For nearly a year, when the Party’s authority was weak, the ex planation seemed to have some va lidity. But this is no longer the case. “Revisionists” have been removed from major posts. Their removal has not led to any resurgence of supposedly repressed Marxist bril liance however. It has only left a gap. Party authorities are per plexed at this situation. They do not pretend to have a new explana tion for it and they say frankly that they do not understand. Tiny Cells Seen by New Technique Samples of substances weighing less than a million-billionths of a gram can be analyzed by a new British microscope technique. This is the “microphotetic method” of Bernard M. Turner, a London bio chemical analyst and instrument designer. It can be applied to the study of the cells of the brain and nervous system, cell duplication in cluding that in cancerous tissue and it will assist, it is believed, in the analyses of atmospheric polution by dust.
Bulgarian Church for Collectives The Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church has called upon parish priests to support a Com munist drive for 100% collectiviza tion of the land. Total obedience to the state was urged on the village clergy in a letter signed by Patri arch Kiril of Bulgaria and nine other members of the synod. Its publication followed a meeting be tween the Patriarch and two lead ing figures of the Bulgarian regime, Premier Anton Yugov and Vulko Chervenkov, Minister of Education and culture. “As a matter of principle” the Synod declared, “ the formation of farm cooperatives for cultivation of land has not met, and cannot meet, with objections of an evangelical nature. On the contrary it can only be encouraged because it is in the evangelical Chr i st ian spirit for brethren to get together, to live and work together.” Sear ching the Scriptures for authority, the synod found an ad monition from Paul the Apostle “ that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your hands, as we commanded you” (1 Thess. 4:10,11). This is certainly utilitarianism of the vilest sort and a corruption of the Scrip ture. The synod also told the clergy to stress the example of communal ownership among “ the first Chris tians.” This was coupled with an unmistakable warning that the Bulgarian constitution and legal code made it a criminal offense to “misuse the Church and religion for political purposes.” It can be assumed that anything short of complete obedience to the state would be interpreted as a violation of the constitution. Voice of Marxism Sought in Poland Poland’s Communist party has run into a new kind of cultural crisis. The regime’s problem is no longer to silence dissident voices but to find effective spokesmen for Marxist culture. The Party has in sisted that the voice of orthodox
