"M. O. P. R."

The M. O. P. R. are the Russian initials of the International Society for Relief of Revolutionaries. It is one of many Russian organizations which intends to speed up the propagation of the Red Faith as preached by the late Lenin.

Before May Day the M. O. P. R. hopes to have one million members. It has arranged to hold an exhibition for the purpose of appealing for funds. The exhibition will exemplify the work of the organization by showing maps where the M. O. P. R. is most active (Bulgaria, Esthonia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Yugo-Slavia); models of foreign prisons, especially U. S. prisons.

The functions of the M. O. P. R. are to take care of Red prisoners in foreign prisons, to "support and encourage them materially and spiritually lest their revolutionary ardor should flag."

A passage in a recent resolution reads: "The M. O. P. R. must organize Communist nuclei among the lower classes and carry on all work under the plea of relieving champions of the revolution or national emancipation of Oriental people. The M. O. P. R. must maintain close contact with the party and Soviet Govern-ment organs."
