1T SEEMS TO ME BY HF FT02f%

ONCE have not seen all the
- plays in town, I can speak
freely and express the opinion that
Overture" by William Bolitho,
seems to me the most interesting.
I didn't say the best play. I said
the most interesting.
I met Marc Connolly the other
night, and he had fire in his eye.
BY chance his attention had been
called to, or at least he'd seen, a
casual statement in this column
that a second-rate novel generally
is better than a frst-rate play. To
the author of "The Green Pas
lures" this was sheer heresy.
And so it has seemed to many
readers. What about Shakespeare"
they want to know, and those who
fail to mention him toss Bernard
Shaw full in my face. Anybody who
takes the risk of generalization
should be allowed couple Of ex-
ceptions.
have no wish to minimize the
worth of Shaw or Shakespeare. Or
to cut a cubit from the stature Of
Marc Connolly. And yet I still
contend that the effects of the
theater are necessarily broader than
those little touches which creep into
the pages of a novel.

The Soviet Premier

The resignation OF Premier Rykof of Russia under
pressure of Secretary Stain of the Communist party
has set off again the prophets of Soviet doom. 1t
shows dsintegration of the Soviet government; the
leaders have fallen out among themselves; it won't
be long now-so we are told
Being several thousand miles from the scene Of
action we can't be dogmatic. But here is our guess
for what it is worth:
Rykoffs resignation does not increase weakness,
but increases strength and unity of the Soviet power
AS the leader of the socalled right faction he could
not pull with the others. AS evidence of good will
he "recanted" several months ago. but he lacked the
drive required of an official in his position of leader
ship Molotoff, Stains friend, who succeeds him,
will furnish that leadership
If the Staln-Rykoff disagreement were funda-
mental, the situation might be dangerous for the
Soviets. But their disagreement is not one between
Communist and anti Communist It is between two
equally militant Communists, who can not agree on
the proper pace for the ndustralization of Russia
Their purchases are the same their methods are
the same. But Rykof wants to stretch the indus
triaizaton process over longer period thus requir
ing less immediate sacrifices from the people, while
Stain wants the people to carry the full burden
and get the gigantic fiveyear plan with as soon
possible.
Stains speeding-up program IS going ahead.
Whether it will succeed is matter of speculation
But that his fveyear plan has succeeded to date
far beyond the most extreme hopes is admitted gen.
orally by foreign observers in Russia.

Basketball Is Opposed for Girls

Strains in the knee and about
the body are more likely to occur
and to be more serious in girls
than in boys, and bruises of the
breast are particularly serious in
women.
Every objection that has been
brought against the playing of
basketball in interschool contests
by girls is enhanced when the
game is played according to boys
rules.
A recent report of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching cites such authorities
as E. H. Arnold, who said, 'It
seems plain to me, at least, that
the female, after puberty, is un-
suited to pursue athletics such as
the male INDUCES in and that
consequently athletics of that type
are unsuited to the female"

basketball for girls: (a) The team

Relief Is iSpotty'

ID EALIZING that one mans
N opinion is not necessarily as
good as another's, I still think con-
gress should have made a large sum
of money available for loans to
states, counties and cities. I think
it would have resulted in quicker
benefit to more people and would
have represented just as wise an
investment.
After travelling from New York
to Texas, I am convinced that the
problem of providing work rests
largely on the problem of providing
it close at hand.
Relief through river and harbor
improvements obviously must be
confined to those who live near
rivers and harbors.
The same is true of relief through
national park, or forest improve
mentS.
Though unemployment may be
worse in some places than in 9TH
erS, it is not very spotty. Such re-
lief measures are spotty, and in that
lies their chief weakness.

The Fornm RepIaces the Stake and Rack

some asa wears ago last August Catholics were
hutcbertng French Protestants in the shambes Of
St Bartholomew day. At the same time, across the
channel Protestant were burning Catholics Jews
we're being shot down and stabbed in czarist terri
tory as late as the present century. Indeed the
pogroms continue in parts Of southeastern
Europe.
It is proof Of the progress Of civilization ana toll
erance, then, to find world-famous Jews. Catho-
lies and Protestants coming together in New YORK
- a seminar on human relations among Protes-
hts. Catholics and Jews. For the settlement OF our
gious differences we have evolved from torch, stake
and rack to the forum.
To the amiable outsider it would seem that the
things which divide these religious groups are what
NAV be deemed nonessentals, whether one views the
matter from the conservative or the liberal angle
The orthodox Jew, Catholic and Protestant all be-
leve in the same general religious epic. Their cos
mology and religious history identical. They all
believe In the same God Jehovah of the Bible. Prot
estants and Catholics look upon Jesus as the Son Oh
God and the Messiah promised to the Jews. Whne
the Jews reject this opinion, not few rabbis now
call Jesus the second among the great religious teach
ers of Judaism.
What holds these three groups apart are tradi-
TONS rites and dogmas of altogether minor char
acter Such is the nature Of these differences which
the faithful regard Of almost biological Importance
STEPPED the fog of sectarianism the average Cath
oils or Protestant boy hardly concede that the
other actually is a human being on good standing.
From the radical religious viewpoint, likewise Jews,
Gentes and Christian sects seem kept apart by myths
and traditions no longer supportable in the light OF
modern knowledge Religious battles in the western
world today have the ring of squabble between al
chemists astrologers and magicians.
Creation tales the literal inspiration of the Jewish
and Christian Bible Jehovah of the Bible the racial
unqueness of the jews the doctrine of the fall OF man
and the necessity the vcarious sacrifices of Jesus
the divinity of Jesus the dogma of the Petrine dele
cation and supremacy, all have collapsed under the
searchight of modern scholarship.
All these groups need to do is to modernize them
selves and their quarrels will disappear. Each type
Of organization might retain such of its traditions,
ritual and ideals as do not conflict with contemporary
knowledge.
In these may reside certain definite and permanent
" valuable contributions to culture But they can not
be used today to justify bigotry dogmatism or in
tolerance. To find them all on the same platform or
about the same banquet table certainly is long step
from medieval and early modern savagery.
Especially significant is the fact that John Haynes
Holmes appears on the program. To his community
church flock modernzed Jews Catholics and Prot
estants Better than any other living preacher he
has settled the human relations of Jews Protestants
and Catholics
