Great Britain Tries
 To Escape Burden of
 Great Unemployment
tContinred from Page One,

no matter how good business should become.
 Three solutions for the serious
 unemployment problem have been advanced. One has been accept ed by the government. one reject ed and one neither accepted nor i rejected. The first involves the transferring of unemployed work
 men from their particular section Of England to another where they will stand more chance of em- ployment, or to the dominions The government, if it accepts the re-
 port of the Transference Board
 will assist the workmen by loans in setting up their establishments elsewhere.
 The second plan is to impose 8 general protective tariff to in- crease profits in stricken indus tries. The Economist" calls this a suicidal policy. Winston Chur- chill, chancellor of the exehequer, told a delegation of conservative members of parliament who urged projections We ought not to con- template any fundamental rever- sal of the fiscal system upon which the whole industrial and economic structure of this country is erected and with which it is profoundly interwoven.
 The third idea is to institute large municipal and national works, such as roadmaking, harbor and dock building and regional planning of cities. Germany and one or two other countries have tried this. plan with considerable success.

The greatest make -qp artist in the world.
 That's what critics and fans are going to call Emil Jannings, the motion picture giant of Europe, after they see Variety" in which he is featured with Lya de Putt.
 Variety" opens on a scene in which Jannings is shown. an old man, discouraged with life He has been a prisoner for twenty long years and now is about to be freed.

 On seeing the transformation, it will be hard to believe that both are the same man. But then when one remembers his apear- ance in such films as The Last Laugh, Passion" and Quo Va dis the thing seems more prob- able.
