Film Eloquence Faces
Disturbing Consequence
From the New Castle News.

From the New Castle News.
It seemed not long ago that teaching
the films to talk promised just another
vein of public entertainment. which
would be ingeniously worked and de-
veloped for the good of all concerned
But 1t is In an industrial law that no
revolution in a single enterprise can be
kept a private matter. Reverberations
In other quarters are inevitable largely
unforeseen in the flush Of enthusiasm
for the novelty that causes them. For
example, the talkies have not benefited
theater musicians or organ manufac-
turers.
The present Is frankly period of
experiment with the articulate celluloid,
and out of it the talking f1lm will
achieve its destiny, exactly as the mo-
ton pictures themselves won their place
beside the legitimate drama In the bust
ness of public entertainment.
A more disturbing consequence of
this sudden eloquence Of the screen Is
concerned with language. Hollywood
products may cease to be popular the
world over when their exhibitors in non
English-speaking countries install the
talkies. Only lovers Of grand opera can
enjoy listening to words they cannot
translate.

virginia's Bridge Approach.

Gov. Byrd Of Virginia, In announcing
the Forthcoming conference in his ofdce
at Richmond over the approaches to
the Arlington Memorial Bridge on the
Virginia side Of the river, is taking the
shortest cut to the solution OF a prob
lem that Is OF great interest and i'm
portance not only to Virginia but to
the people of the Nation. Plans for
the Virginia approach, or approaches,
to the Arlington Memorial Bridge have
been largely visionary. Nothing definite
has been decided about them. Two
years before the bridge is to be open
to traffic, virginia's plans for the con-
Meeting highways remain matter OF
conjecture and debate. No blame for
this situation should be laid at the
door of the proponents of the various
schemes, as much as they may disagree
about what is best. The fault lies In
the delay in taking the positive action
that. now is necessary, and Gov. Byrds
conference should result in removing
chat fault.
| While there have been disagreements
and debates over the best route to the
bridge, with both routes receiving In
dorsements, and while Virginia highway
officials have reiterated the fact that
the State plans to do its part toward
the construction of suitable approach
there has been no definite action
Through the Arlington County Cham
Der Of Commerce, Gov. Byrd has be-
come interested in tying together the
loose ends of the various plans and max
ing something tangible out Of them
Within the near future he plans to call
conference in Richmond of all the
interested parties. There, one feels GER
tain, any petty differences Of opinion
which may exist between them will be
ironed away, and out Of the conference
there should come announcement OF
definite program.
Whatever route is decided upon will
be chosen with the idea in mind o!
conforming to the plans Of the Fedora
Government, in It's conception Of the
Arlington Memorial Bridge, and in meet
ing the demands of great tide Of auto
mobile trafic that in future years viii
pass in and out of this most beautiful
gateway to the National Capital. Con-
formity to the Federal Government
/ plans for the bridge itself will be attain
ed through the cooperation, with Vir-
GINA authorities, of Col. u. S. Grant
Sd. As for the most feasible route OF
the new highway and the type of con-
struction to be employed, Virginia''
own highway experts. with the help Of
those who have so generously given Of
their time and efforts to propaganda ir
behalf of the project, should find little
difficulty In eliminating the conflicting
issues and adopting a definite course of
| action.
Gov. Byrd has won an enviable repu-
tation as a man Of action. Action i:
needed now on virginias approach tc
the bridge-one that will be a fitting
! companion to the Mount Vernon high.

Ballot of Labor
Sweeps Australia

| From the Louisville Courier Journal
In q veritable landslide the Labor
party Of Australia has swept the coun-
try. Pledged to Cooperate with the
Macdonald government in the develop
ment Of the empire and the promotion
performance Of British labor In the
general elections last May and has
overthrown a ministry that has held on
for the last six years.
According to reports from the cleo
ton, the Australian trade unionists have
scored an even greater victory than the
followers Of Prime Minister Macdonald.
OF the rs seats In the House Of Repre-
sentatives they have won A., q clear
majority instead of the precarious
status Of the Laborites in England. So
far as the lower chamber Is concerned,
no coalition can upset them, though at
any moment British Conservatives and
Liberals may unite to Dust the present
British regime.
But. despite its victory, the Australian
Labor faction, which has long been
feared because Of its radical left wing.
is not without restraint. The National
.sts continue to hold a predominant
majority in the Senate. which was not
affected by the recent balloting. The
Nationalist Country coalition, which has
ruled the Dominion since 1923 unccr
Prime Minister Stanley Bruce, may be
expected TO be a vcciferous minority In
the house Extreme Socialist legislation
may therefore have hard sledding If
such Is attempted by the new exuberant
trade unionist party.
In the matter Of arbitration Of labor
disputes the election Is determinative
The Bruce government was overthrown
because 1t advocated the elimination Of
the federal court. in the majority Of
such cases leaving their decisions to
state tribunals. This was urged on the
grounds that IL would avoid an unneces-
sary ana costly dual arrangement, but
Labor fought the measure tooth and
nail. The ministry split over it and
former Premier Hughes took sides with
the opposition. It was the contention
Of the Laborites that the state courts
Of arbitration could be dominated by
the industrials and their advocacy of
concurrent jurisdiction for the federal
tribunal was an important campaign
issue.
The success Of the Ramsay Mac
donald government and the promise Of
the Australian Labor faction 20 CO.
operate with II, however. were no doubt
important factors In the result.

I'm bettin' on potatoes, and I'm bettin'
on the corn;
Sometimes I'm right successful, and at
others I'm forlorn.
I can't sit down at ease and wait for

I've got to keep a-hustlin', and I've got
