THEATERS

OF the many odd and interesting
characters in Marshall Neilan S
current Paramount production, " Ev-

theater. particular interest attaches
to the role of Anastasia Potter, the
wealthy and successful big business
woman, whom Louise Dresser por
trays with such consummatc artistry
and distinction.
1t is the same type of character
that Edna FCrbcr, famous author,
created in her widely read novel.
"Our Mrs. McChcsncy, the keen,
capable business woman, who man
ages huge commercial enterprise
with the executive ability and
shrcwdness of captain of industry.

RACIAL OVERFLOW

The japanese population is more than S0O00,000,
and is increasing rapidly 1t crowds the islands of
the homeland and tends inevitably to overflow. The
greatest japanese problem is to provide for that
flow.
North America, which looks highly desirable to the
Japs is closed. Australia likewise is closed Korea
and Formosa japanese colonial possessions pretty
we'll filled up. There is the Asiatc continent
in Siberia and the northern and western parts of
China, but those regions do not tempt the Japanese
pioneers
Italy is in similar position, with large and rapidly
multiplying population and little congenal space for
expansion.
In such situations is the of future
wars The greatest wars Of the past have been US
ually caused by vigorous prolific nations throwing Off
waves of migration and invasion.
Such nations usually to feel that their surplus
population gives them of divine right to expand
even when they expand only at the cost of their
nelghbors. And other nations - those not immed-
lately threatened-have tendency to acknowledge
that right.
1t is not so in private life. If farmer and his wife
have 20 children that their farm will longer sup
port the family they do not assume the right to
onto their nelghbors land and nobody admits any such
right If they plead necessity, other people will tell
them 1t wasn't necessary to have 20 children.
time is coming, as the world fills up, when the
reasoning will be applied frankly to nations. A
country like Japan Italy, if it insists ell
bow larger place in the sum- and cannot
obtain it peacefully and fairly will be advised to apply
the natural remedy for such situation. Birth
troll, yet merely private theory, may become
matter of international policy.
