The Soviet weekly magazine "Projector" devotes two pages to | the, disclosures, written by
Zoriteh. As the article poista put, the story is far from characteristic of life here. On the contrary, the tendency has been in recent years towards more stringent observation of the moral code.
"But," Zoriteb, who apparently is voicing an official point of view, declares, we must not be afraid to how the inside of this trade- union romance, We must pull them out of their night of drunken darkness into the light. The rays of the sun will kill the microbes which begin to infest some cells in our social organism.".

The authors of these orgies were actually organized into a society, which at the time of its disruption | had at least thirty member, among
them Communists and trade-union officials. The constitution of the society declared that depravity was the human duty of intelligent men. The members pledged to assist each other in eatisfying their phy- sical appetites," and in getting each other out of prison in case of
arrest...
Zoritch begins by describing the respectable side of these men's life during working hours. They work- ed in office, made speeches parti- cipated in the daily tasks of the Soviet revolution. A few of them were heads of families; some, of them were mere boys, others grey- beards. With the approach of night, however, they turned into "Soviet Athenians, trade union Romans "devoted to the muddiest of life. -

The article intimates that the ring leaders have been arrested and an investigation is being made into the whole affair. It seems that government and trade-union funds were embezzled to pay the costs of these short-lived efforts at a classical revival
The affair is characterized as a frightful survival of the pre- revolutionary life.
Its appearance at this time, and especially among Communists, is regarded as a serious matter. It represents, according to comment here,
an unhealthy mood," which must be analyzed and traced to its source so that it can be cured.
