David Relasco

It IS hard to realize that the curtain has rung
down for David Belasco.
His gentle hating you have made me very, very
happy" still fingers in the memory Of hrst-nighters
Born in this country Of a Portuguese gypsy mother
and Jewish father, after they had landed
penniless from London David Belasco rose from call
boy at the Metropolitan theater in San Francisco TO
be dean Of the drama in America
Some say that reference to his clerical" garb
which he termed not clerical at all, but merely old
fashioned, annoyed him Yet others say he knew
himself to be his own greatest character creation
and goried in it.
One Of Belascos last productions was TITS Wise
Child" an unpretentious comedy that proved to be
the most profitable attraction his theater ever had
housed. His earlier Nina" a lavish modernistic
spectacle. cost him fortune, yet despite financial
straits he turned down offer to his price
as producer Of talking pictures
Until the last few years, his energy seemed in
exhaustble. He in his theater workshop at $3.50
in the morning and worked often until midnight.
Less than a year ago he spoke Of an idea he had
in mind that might take five ten years to work
out completely"
Now at 49, he is dead and the world of the theater
is poorer for the loss Of man whom it must have
made very very happy.

Contrast

Now it is Kentucky that furnishes one of those
unbelievable contrasts of wealth and poverty that
are far too common in this country.
At Churchill Downs thousands will watch and
wager as the aristocrats Of the racing stables COM
pete in the Derby. Not far away are desperate IN
employed coal miners who threaten to "help them
selves" if help soon is not given them
Supposedly allowed equal opportunity, who will say
that these miners and these racing fans IMPLYING
poverty and wealth. have in fact been afforded this
equality. Yet, under system, that promise is made
Seeing on one side the wealthy colorful and care
free Derby crowd and on the other the distress of
these poor and idle miners is not pleasant sight
Can they meet on some underground? Out of all
the talk and thought of overcoming the depression
must come the fuldlrnent Of this promise

A League of Nations or of victOrs?

Opposition to the League Of Nations has been
justified in the United States chiefly by the solationst
philosophy which contends that we must avoid mix
ing into affairs of Europe.
Such attitude is futile in this age Of world COM
munication and already existent interrelatonships
But there is another argument which unquestorably
does possess validity. It lies in the charge that
thus far the league has been fundamentally league
Of vctors, concerned chiefly with preserving the sys-
tenn which grew out of the postwar treaties
The vanquished not on any real parity with
their conquerors at Geneva.
This point Of view was voiced by Count Bethlen
on the tenth anniversary Of his premiership when
he said:
THE league has become an organization of the
victor states which offer neither justice nor peace
to the other group Of nations which they conquered
1t has conceived its task only being to bring about
the hegenony of the victor states. But cracks and
crevices have appeared in this fabric lately and the
war mentality has found itself in cul-de-sac"
If friends Of the league desire to raise it in the
esteem Of fair-nlinded men, then let them take up
Bethlens challenge and prove to the world that it
has no foundation.

Wise Spending

We are going to hear more and more about gov
ernmental economy between now and the time con-
greSs meets, for in economy is planted the admin
istrations hope to avoid tax increase on the eve
Of an election campaign.
Politicians, Of course, constantly condemn the
growth Of bureaucracy. This condemnation is as
much an institution as bureaucracy itself But
bureaucracy means several thngs-there are neces-
sary bureaus and unnecessary bureaus.
Would you, for instance, reduce the expenditures
Of the United States chldrenS bureau? This agencys
work should be increased by more money to spend.
Would you hamper the work of the department of
agriculture in attempting to make farming less a
gamble and more scientific?
Remembering the Mississippi food would you de-
federal expenditures for food control? Nat
ually not.
There the unemployed to help, national health
to preserve and score of other activities the gov
eminent must inaugurate or continue
When bureaucracy is condemned, take pinch Of
salt with that condemnation, and remember that real
economy is wise spending.

LaWless Government

To be an alien in the United States is be-
coming scarcely less Of offense than to be a
criminal While the crime wave unfortunately goes
on with little interference from the authorities in
some cities police and federal immigration officials
quietly are wagng reign of terror against persons
who are, or happen to look like, aliens
Just after the war similar Palmer raids" became
a byword for Official lawlessness
We again have the situation of local police, ap-
pointed to administer the state city criminal law,
turning instead to help the federal authorities
force federal laws by illegal methods
Now at last these tactics are being challenged. A
Britsher Loucas, arrested by federal inspector,
tipped of by the New York police is appealing to the
courts for protection.
His arrest was unwarranted. For Loucas was ar
rested for deportation having entered the United
States without visa, when it was only the precpi-
fancy of his arrest that prevented his showing the
OFFICIALS the visa which he didn't happen to have with
i'm but which nevertheless had been issued duly in
London by representative Of our state department
So much even the government now comedies.
The fight has narrowed down to this. Did the
government, it claims, have the right to arrest
Loucas without any evidence whatsoever OF wrong
doing or violation Of law on his part?
Or is Loucas right IN claiming that the government
had to have some evidence against him before it law
fully could get warrant for his arrest and take him
into custody?
Judge woolsey's decision went of on technicality
Loucas is appealing not to establish his right to be
here Of which there is question but to protect per-
sons who look though they might be aliens-for an
inspector can disbelieve claim to citizenship quite as
readily as a claim to lawful entry-frona similar
arrests.
Loucas demands his immediate release from what
