PRESIDENTS POWER TO RAISE, TARIFF

Before the Senate gets through with the tariff bill and the document goes into conference between the two houses for q final agreement upon schedules, there remains the flexible tariff law to argue about. The present biu includes g flexible provision and the senate is destined 10 vote upon il, There is a keen di- 1"rsity Of opinion regarding whether ii should be retained or rejected.
 The flexible provision gives to the Pr, sjdent lhc power to raise or low or specific rates if fl is shown 10 hum Iha the existing tariff rates are not sufficiently correct 10 achieve protection. or that they are "too high" Of course, virtually all such presidential changes in the past have been up.
 Power 10 alter the tariff rates was vested in the President for the first time i'm he present tariff acI. which was framed in l92l-g2. The Supreme Court subsequently, upheld the con stjurion1lity Of luo flexible tariff Tine record Of White House action under this provision has been a> follows:

ADJUSTMENTS
MISUNDERSTANDING InterIude."

AAIIONAL-'S Strange 1nlcEAuue.
The Theater Guild has properly
chosen to repeat, at a lower scale of
prices. Eugene O'Neill's Strange Inter-
Jude" as one of the important under
takings of the current Washington sea-
son. and in bringing it back to the
National Theater this week the Guild
accomplisheS the twofold purpose of
making it available to those who have
missed this most-talked-about play and
of giving those SO inclined an oppor-
tunity to repeat the experience. For
sitting through Strange Interlude" is
an experience. Having had it once, the
prospect of repeating it may at first ap-
pear formidable. But no classic of the
theater has ever failed to improve on
closer acquaintance, and the embattled
'Interlude" long since has won its place
as classic Those who try to shout it
down waste their breath in vain.
There are two ways of looking at
Mr.. ONeill's lugubrious case history of
the four human beings he so thorough
~ dissects in this play. One of them
is to admit that a highly informative
volume might be written on the sub
Iect of mud, but Immediately to queS-
ton upon what grounds one believes
that the rest of us are interested
in mud The other view is that even
mud can be made the subject of an
inspiring poem. provided it falls into
the hands of the right poet. The first
point of view has criticized ONeilfs
masterpiece by holly demanding by
what authority the playwright takes the
liberty of appropriating as the subject
for a nine-act play certain pSychoSeS
that in polite circles are kept below
stairs, admitting at the same time the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-02-04

actual existence of the mental condi-
tons so appropriated. The second point
of view is that O'Neill was merely writ
ing human drama for the stage. AS
long as he is able to get away with 1t
and dig away-and dig away and dig
away-at the SenSibilitieS and emotions
of an audience from 80 to IL o'clock
pm. with an hour or so off for re-
suscitative food, and makes the audi
ence enjoy it, well--the end justifies
the means. For it is not the morbid
subiectiveneSs of the Strange Inter-
Jude" but the authors ability to drama
tie the story of four abnormal lives,
running the gamut from sublime
beauty to stark ugliness, that has given
this work place of its own in the
theater. 1t is doubtful If any man, liv-
ing or dead, could have done what
Eugene ONeill dhe man who made
a Rabbit out of Marco Polo) has done
in Strange Interlude" And If any
of them could-would they?
The Guild cast which brings the play
to the National this week is excellent,
interesting mainly for Elisabeth RiS-
don's Interpretation of the role of Nina.
In time Nina may become a character
susceptible of as many and as varying
interpretations as Shylock. Miss Ris-
don's own choice seems to deprive poor
Nina of any good that might have been
planned for the girl. In her hands
Nina becomes not merely the victim of
mental shock that might have ex-
cused much that followed. but the per-
soniflcation of so many unlovely traits
that she alienates the sympathy of the
audience in the beginning and perpetu-
ateS the estrangement through to the
bitter end. Her emotions are given
fortissimo emphasis. where a more
subtle repression would have been more
eloquent. Even the sweet calm that fol-
lows the interlude retains an undue
potion of bitterness.
Frank Conroy's Edmond Darrell is
excellent, and if George Gaul permits
ONeill's sardonic humor to become
comedy stuff in his Characterization of
Charles Marsden he can place a lions
share of the blame on an audience last
night that was given to fits of giggling
and tittering-threatenin at times the
nice balance of the play. This may
have been due to the presence of large
numbers of f1appers whom somebody let
loose without realizing the consequences.
