PREDICTS VETO TO FAIL
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The legislative situation gets more
muddled daily Now it begins to look
as If the tariff will be indefinitely
tied up in conference between the
House and Senate and may without
any deliberate effort on anybody's
part be still under consideration when
the people go to the polls in No
vember.
As for the bonus and ship subsidy,
the latter has little chance in the
present melee and will get more votes
after the election. The bonus, or ad-
justed compensation bill, as the
American Legion leaders prefer to
have it described, will be passed this
week
There's no doubt that the votes in
favor Of the bill are greatly in excess
of those against it. The only ques-
tion now is whether the Senate will
cast more than "a two-thirds vote In
favor of the measure. Some of the
friends Of the bill believe, If the bill
passes by two-thirds vote, the futil-
ity Of a veto will have been so con-
spicuously demonstrated that Mr..
Harding will not wish to risk being
overridden by his party.
Every statement and intimation
from the White House. however. has

their child away from the table. In
sort of trance she is about to make
a clean breast of it. She feels as if
a stone had rolled off her chest, the
suppression of her secret having
proved more difficult than the facing
of the consequences. From the few
touches of the husband, we know that
he will forgive her.
The whole thing is a magic web
Of human emotions. The analysis of
the woman's moods after the lovers
death has scarcely a parallel. The
table scene is mesmeric. The reader
feels he is fathoming the deepmost
depths of a woman's soul.
Or take the story known in English
as "The Blind Mans Brother" The
only thing in which it resembles the
one just reviewed, is it's etherealness.
Carol is the cause Of the blindness
of his younger brother Geronimo.
Carol is very pious boy and sees
visions and dreams in which angels
are telling him to dedicate his life
to the service of his brother. Poor
peasant boys both, they take to the
beggar's staff. Geronimo has a fine
voice and sings at the crossroads and
inns, while his brother leads him and
passes the hat. The story begins
after they had led this life twenty
years.
They are all in all to each other.
Their twenty years of a common
affliction had intertwined their heart
strings till they are as one; each
always trying to sense out what
would please the other, and leaving
nothing undone to materialize that
pleasure.
One day a traveller puts a silver
piece into Carols hat; and when the
latter is away, whispers to the blind
man that he had put in gold piece,
warning: 'Don't let him cheat you'll"
This results in the two brothers be-
ginning to quarrel. At last Carol
wants to run away from the blind
man, but decides to rob traveller of
gold piece and give it to Geronimo,
explaining that he had withheld the
money till then for fear lest the blind
man drink it up.
He steals the gold piece and both
brothers leave the inn early in the
morning. On the way, Carol gives it
to Geronimo, and hopes that now
their former affectionate relation
would be re-established. But this only
makes things worse. The blind man
says that this is another gold piece;
and that he had been stealing gold
pieces from him right along. And it
comes to such pass that when a
policeman stops them, Carol is glad
to go to Jail to escape the blind mans
presence. But when the officer ex-
plains the cause, Geronimo suddenly
realizes what had happened. The

with the sentimental tears of a
Dickens, nor with the heat of the
sanctimonious homilies of a Tolstoi-
an artist who, though never resorting
to magic, accomplishes more. than a
a Maupassant, with Shakespearean
sweep, and the all-embracing pity for
the foibles of humanity Of Dostoy-
ewski.
More, the very thing which makes
the average Anglo-Saxon poke his
fingers into his ears, should make
him open his eyes. Perhaps also his
heart. The Sex problem is handled
by no living dramatist with such un-
derstanding and tact. With few ex-
ceptions, his works abound with illus
trations of the pathetic misery and
tragic death occasioned by the license
tacitly accorded man. AS one mar
shals before his mind Schnitzler's
gallery of men and women, he cannot
help feeling a fiery protest rising in
him against the injustice perpetrated
against that half of the human race
which can bear it least.
Few can appreciate Shakespeare
without knowledge of Shakespear-
can England. The same holds good
in the case of Schnitzler. One must
know Vienna, if he is to know Sch
nitzler. While it is true that every
great master has something of the
universal in him, it is also true that
the roots Of his being are imbedded
in the soil Immediately surrounding
him.
Schnitzlerian Vienna is a strange
world. It is a fusion of the bleak
weirdness of the Teutonic North with
the affectionate gaiety of the Latin
South 1t is a blending of the noisy
pessimism of the coarse-grained but
clean-washed Occident with the
tender-hafted and melancholy optim-
ism of the fea-bitten Orient. It is
Berlin and Paris, London and Byzan-
tium rolled into one, with dash of
the sensuous romance of Medieval
Europe. Add to this the scores of
cabals and intrigues incident to
vanishing social and political order,
and you have a fair picture of the
defunct Capital of the Holy Roman
Empire. Edwin Bjorkman remarks:
"Like all other cities sharply divid-
ed within itself and living above
volcano of half-suppressed passions,
Vienna tends to seek in abandoned
gaiety, in a frank surrender to the
senses-that forgetfulness without
which suicide would seem the only
alternative"
Schnitzler as Short Story Writer
1t is remarkable with what facility
Schnitzler turns from one artistic
medium to another. If he were not
famous as a dramatist he would be
famous as novelist; and if not as

NOVELIST, lie Woulu De 1dIHouS DIS
short story teller. He is unique in
all these fields.
His short stories are mere episodes
in the history of man or a woman
at some crucial moment. There is
hardly any plot to them. Whatever
plot there is, one finds skilfully held
in the background. There is never an
attempt to be smart or clever-the
sign of a poverty ty-stricken brain or
of immaturity. The episodes are i'm
mersed in an artistic atmosphere that
creeps over the reader and sub
merges him till he is completely lost
to the world. There is delicacy, an
etherealness characteristic of an
autumn sunset in the woods. The
words flow in an imperceptible
rhythm; but the reader is conscious of
strange forces at play. Yet these
forces never break out in savage pas
sion. One is led through a moon
shot haze, from where he is shown
world even more hazy, leaving him
wonder whether solid reality could
exist. When he is done, he rubs his
eyes and takes hold Of the arms of
the chair to make sure it was not a
dream. There is a touch of tragedy
in these tales; but it is the tragedy
of the man who is too wise and too
proud to make any bones about it.
1t is difficult to choose from his
stories. Almost every story hap
pened to read by him is entirely diff
ferent from all the others-no dupli-
cation of either character or plot.
Take the short story rendered into
English under the title dead Men
Tell No Tales!"
The wife of a professor in Vienna
has liaison with young man. While
the husband is away of an evening,
she slips out Of the house and meets
her lover. Both go driving out of
town with cabman who happens to
be drunk. The cab is upset and the
lover is killed. While the cabman is
making his way for the nearest tele-
phone to call a doctor she comes to
the conclusion that her own life must
necessarily go on as before. The
world would show her the door, if it
found out. She accordingly steels
herself and runs back home in the
darkness, hoping to get there before
her husband. And she succeeds.
Soon the husband comes in, greets
the little family with the usual honey
affections, and seats himself at the
dinner table. The wife is happy that
the whole Of that terrible experience
is behind her back, her husband none
the wiser. She makes up her mind to
keep from betraying herself by word
or look. But the moment she begins
to suppress her emotions they be-
come riotous,. and she loses control
of herself. She talks in a state of

her knowing it, she has soon said

Contemporary Jewish Genius
By HERMAN JACOBSOHN (Copyight)
ARTHUR SCIINTZLER MASTER DRAMATST, POET AND NOVELIST

The literary world is celebrating
this year the sixtieth anniversary of
the birth of Arthur Schnitzler. But
the English speaking world does not
yet know this literary magic master
the way it should. The reason is two
fold. One is inherent in Schnitzler,
the other in the English reader.
For Schnitzler is extraordinarily
versatile. He is not alone one Of
Europe's half dozen master drama
lists. He is also a scientist, a physi-
clan of note, student of Freudian
psychology, poet, a short story
writer, and a novelist. In a word,
the mans versatility makes it almost
impossible to form an adequate esti-
mate Of him.
But it must be confessed that this
is the lesser of the two difficulties.
BY far the greater difficulty is the
mental makeup of the English
reader.
Not that the Anglo-Saxon is funda-
mentally different than other people.
No indeed. The fundamental emo
tions in men are about the same, ir-
respective of race. Only most races
acknowledge their emotions, while the
Anglo-Saxon is ashamed of them.
When Shakespeare or Schnitzler
shows him picture of life, he expur-
gates Shakespeare and pokes his
fingers into his ears to Schnitzler,
crying:
"Behold the man in his wicked
ness!" And goes off whispering to
his neighbor: "No such lewdness for
moral man like mel" In fact, be-
cause literature deals with human
emotions, often in their raw state,
he eschews it, considering it a bit
deal below base ball.
The result is that the Anglo-Saxon,
especially the American, who, though
far from being an Anglo-Saxon by
this time, tries to be more Anglo
practically nothing but articles. More
articles, and much better ones, are
written in America than anywhere
else-more articles on how to broil
steak and bake potatoes than in any
other country in the world. (Though
dyspepsia is here more chronic than
everywhere else in the world.)
This initiates against our knowing
Schnitzler. For in him we find moth
ing on how to broil steak-not even
on how to prevent graft in the munic-
ipal gas plant.
Yet to him who is eager for
deeper insight into the mystery of
human existence-for a firmer grasp
of the most profound of all cosmic
puzzles, Love and Life-for a touch
of the invisible pulse reaching to the
heart of humanity-to him Schnitzler
is heavenly luminary. For Schnitz-
ler is an artist Of the highest order
