1t was just such problem that Japan
faced so years ago as regards western
Europe. Will Europe succeed in mod

icanized?
This is the way this important ques-
ton presents itself to those of us in

Halls New Age.
American influence cannot be cues
toned. It is manifest everywhere. But
what is the range Of its influence? At
first sight 1t looks as II America in her
international relations Is simply de-
Tending her own interests, like all other
people. But in looking closer 1t is seen
that she brings with her a new concep-
ton of life. In a word. an American
civilization Is rising and threatens to
substitute itself for ours. I am almost
tempted to say that there is now an
American age" following European
age, just as important in the history of
humanity as the Stone Age or the
Bronze Age. This is the age of the
machine. of Standardization and of the
mass. To tell the truth, 1t was Europe
which first conceived and applied these
principles in the nineteenth century.
But today-do not let us mistake it
the world Is becoming Westernized
on the American plan.
When Americans arrive in a country
what do they bring with them? First
more perfected material equipment
and a more eff1cacious system of pro-
auction. thanks to machinery and to
Taylorism, as well as to a collective
cooperation in which the individual
still counts. They bring as well A..

serious reservation obtrudes itself.
and that is the absence of any spiritual
factor in this widespread American in
f1uence. In spite of Americas social
ideaiism, which we must all admire, she
is on the whole materialistic in spirit
The idea of gainful work predominates
We do not forget that Americans as
individuals are frequently idealists, but
we cannot lose sight of the fact that
in America idealism is often measured
simply by material progress.
Venom More Subtle.
do not mean by this base love of
the dollar, as is so often said. The

definite policy Of world communications
Believes Times Right.
The London Times was not far wrong
when, at the time of the Washington
conference in 1921, it said: For the
first time in history the United States
feels the necessity of a world policy-in
the plain meaning of this term With
virtually no period Of transition, she
has passed from the position of q sim
pie commercial power to a dominating
one which controls the finances of the
world. And now suddenly she realizes
to what extent this change must react
on her relationships with the rest of
the world. America is very badly pre-
pared politically to make the most of
the opportunity created by these cir
cumstances. For the first time America
sees the real substance contained in the
expression world communications and
understands the meaning of a merchant
feet, a navy, safe trade routes and the
necessity Of coal bases and undersea
her national interests"
The outcome of these developments is
a general policy of intervention-peace-
full Intervention, no doubt, but one
which Is susceptible Of having recourse
to force. On the American continent
this attitude is flagrantly novel. The
old conception of the Monroe Doctrine
has been replaced by an entirely new
view of the situation, which puts in the
foreground the intrusion of the United
States and not the exclusion of Europe,
justified by arguments that Latin Amer
lea refuses to admit. If henceforth the
Government at washington accepts and
applies this method of action, the ulti-
mate effect will be the establishment Of
a general, though latent, American pro-
tectorate. The large states of South
America will escape without doubt, but
the nearer states and the less powerful
ones are directly menaced in their in
dependence by this dollar diplomacy"
This policy. whether latent In certain

The man who has the quality that

can cut just as wide swath in moveland as
the woman. Screenland has lad plenty of
them, from the late lamented Valentino
through Buddy Rogers down to Rudy vallee.

the woman fans, but leave their various hus-
bands or boy friends more or less cold The
male movfegoer generally grits his teeth aud
IDLY at the sight of the he-vamp.
AL of which leads up 10 discussion of
Clark Gable.
Gable is the newest of the screens great
lovers. Women writer's have pulled out their
finest adjectives for him They have said not
only that he has IT." but that he also has
"menace"-which seems to make it more en-
thralling, somehow
Evening star., 1931-12-13

CLARK is quite aware that feminine screen
audiences have gone quite mad about
him. His fan mail proves that without doubt
But, like man coming out of fog. he still
rs wondering just what 1t is all about.
He regards himself as the same man who
struggled for success behind the footlights and
who couldn't get even one little tumble from
nim moguls when he tried so hard to crash
into pictures few years ago To change so
suddenly from that to the idol of all women
was blow from which he hasn't vet quite
recovered
But he is honestly unaware that the women
who know him personally suddenly have come
to regard him in the same light. OF course
many of them have told him SO to his face
and nave made him to embarrassed that he
doesn't know whether they have suddenly gone
crazy or whether they are kidding him. And
he doesn't much care. All he wants is to get
away from them.
Gable has been married three times-twice
to his present wife Ria Langham non-pro-
1essional. His first wife divorced him in Cali
fornia in March, 1923. year later-lackine
three days-he married Miss Langham in New
York
having no idea that he ever would return
70 Hollywood, since he had once tried and
Iaiieo 10 crash the movie portals, he didn't
bother about the year required by California
laws to make divorce decree final There
lore, when his film success and more or less
permanent residence in Hollywood became as
sured last Spring, the two were married again
just to make sure that everything was in legal
shipShape.
Mrs. Gable, however, will not enter into her
husbands professional life in any manner
whatever. She refuses to be photographed
with him. Nor will she have any pictures
taken OF herself, knowing that if she did they
soon would be plastered in magazines and
newspapers all over the country
CLARK is the one the public is interested in
hot me" is her only explanation.
Evening star., 1931-12-13

QUT what has he himself to say about it?
u Chiefly, that "it's all a lot of hooey."
Il don't know where these women get that
stuff that they write about me- Clark de-
clared i know that never have said any,
thing which would give them grounds for their
stories. Women crazy about me? Boy, If they
only knew the truth"
There you have two sides to the story-and
both are correct. The fan mail which he gets
every day proves that girls will gladly pass up
q lunch or two in order to see Gable in a
picture 1t also is correct to say that no actor
since Valentino has created such furore
among the feminine theatergoers of the Nation.
But is it Clark Gable they are wild over?
Or is 1t the cameras version of Clark Gable?
This young man is not new to the theater
world by any means He spent a number OF
years on the legitimate stage before coming
into pictures year ago. But in all those
years, there never was mention made of him
as great lover"
Since coming into pictures I have made
love to exactly six women" Gable admits
One of Them my wife, I have loved be-
cause am in love with her. The other five I
nave loved because have been paid a rather
