The Rising Tide

DRIAND has been in the fore
ID front of liberal French thought,
and now he is tripped by rising
tide of nationalism. Of course, the
presidency of the French republic
is little more than a gardenia to
be worn in the buttonhole.
BRAND Ghould be able to console
himself with the thought that he
has served his country in positions
of far more prestige and power. But
though the post is chiefly orna-
mental, it is discouraging to see a
check upon the movement for re-
Cancellation of France and Ger
many.
Perhaps it is only a passing
phase. And there is no reason why
BRAND should not keep up his
fight.

just as subjects do in unrestricted
monarchies. If we do not believe in
the divine right of kings, I fail to
see why we readily should accept
the divine right of industrial cap
tainS.
A number of readers have called
my attention to the fact that in re-
cent months this column has been
for the most part serious.
I am aware of the fact, and natu-
rally am not such fool as to
think that I can do anything of
much Importance toward changing
things which seem to me all wrong.
But anybody living in world so
gravely muddled as our own would
be an even greater fool not to try.

Poor Policy for Bankers

IN times like these, it is small
Il minded to suppose that anything
helpful or constructive could be &C
complished by reducing the pay of
those at the foot of the line. 4.
AS a matter of common sense,
general wage cutting only would
add to the depression and postpone
recovery. Industrial leaders under
stand this. The majority of them
not only have done splendid work,
but have risked a great deal in
some instances to keep up the wage
scale.
Bankers should be the last to dis
courage such a policy.

SCIENCE

The Storyof B en- Gmi n
Franklin and His Kite Il
One We May Accept.
GONE of our favorite legends arc
- alas. only the Pigments of &C.
tive imaginations. The famou
story of George Washington and
the cherry tree is in that cate
CORY.
More recently legend that Elm
stein was led to his relatively the
DRY when he saw painter fall of a
ladder, was exploded by Einstein
himself.
The story was that Einstein asked
the painter if he had been con-
scious of the pull OF gravity during
the fall, and the painter, who, for
tunately, was not hurt by the fall,
responded in the negative.
DR.. Charles E. st. John told this
story at a dinner during Einstein'S
recent visit to America. Einstein,
in responding, admitted that the
story had no foundation in fact.
1t frequently had been said that
Newton was led to formulate his
theory of gravitation by seeing an
apple fall to the ground. Although
it is difficult to be certain, most
scholars are agreed that there is
sufficient evidence for the accept
ance of the story.
The story of Benjamin Franklin
and his kite, however, is a story
which we may accept. For Ben, who
was one of the great pioneers in the
study of electricity, as well as a
great patriot and statesman, left
evidence of his kite-flying activities
in a letter.

concentration of wealth; that some of us have too
much money, and some too little to buy goods. And
the utilities are concentrating wealth more rapidly
than any other industry
They sell a product which has come to be an es-
sential Of American life. Industry can not operate
without power. All except the very poorest homes
use it. Rural homes depend upon it. And the utilities
sell without competition, except that furnished by
public enterprise in few scattered regions
They have been allowed to build up amazing un-
regulated holding company structures which make
possible extraction of profits beyond all reason
No one wishes to see the utilities impoverished

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, February 4
(N.AN.A)- Such has been the success
of the Western film "Cimarron" that
local studios are milling over old manu-
scripts of this great open-spaces variety
in the hope of finding something Tor
a follow-up.
The western story made its hit just
as local infallibles had put forth the
dictum that this type of thing was over
for good five years, at least. You
never know-that'S one reason why
movie men are so Tightly. They find
themselves in a continual state OF sur
prise and bear up wonderfully under
the strain.
Along comes Winfield sheehan and
revives East Lynne which Will have
its premiere tonight. This play, which
was favorite back in the days when
women went to the theater for a good
cry" has the strengthening presence
of Ann Harding. That alone ought TO
be enough TO put it over.
But on the heels Of this announce
ment, studio readers tell me they have
been put to reading series OF VIC
torian novels that for sheer boredom
and antiquity can't be equaled The
studios explanation is that they are
looking for a smash-hit revival.
If things follow the usual routine.
then we may hope for a season OF
things which will be familiar to
grandma and grandpa, if they do not
waken any memory response in our
hearts.
Oh, and the English hunting picture
is on again. I'm so glad to hear this.
The mad dash of pink-coated riders
across the meadows is swell celluloid
stuff And If Sam Goldwyn had thought
of this for Evelyn Laye-wlo rides like
a centaur and is as British as the King
himself-what picture that first one
OF hers could have been.
And George Arliss, making his own
story of Alexander Hamilton, will be
one Of the high lights of the coming
season. For Arliss alone are we CRATE
full to the Warner Brothers, because
this actor will preserve his own artistic
integrity In the face of studio opposi-
ton and give the cinema public oppor-
tunity to see something really fine.
When the two natives who figured so
largely in Trader Horn" and were
brought back here for some studio shots
made ready TO leave Hollywood IT was
discovered that their trophies from the
cinema town were quite as interesting

First of all they concentrated on the
baret, wearing this headgear on all
occasions-and quite jauntily too, I
might add. They have a delightful
collection of old nails picked up on the

The lineup of tin cans is really impos-

weird bottles in your home, you should

OF course, when the packing cases
are finally opened in the heart Of the

There are passages where We feel
that Jesus possesses power to dis
Germ events and hidden facts and
circumstances concealed from other
men; but here Jesus ~ found IN the
reality OF his humanity facing ex-
neriences the depth and meaning Of
which : apparently in some
measure withheld from him, even
as they have been withheld from
other men who have gone the way
OF suffering. The intensity OF his
spiritual conservation Is not af-
fectad by the darkness that sur
rounds him. III there is doubt in
his soul, ii is not doubt OF Gods
goodness or doubt Of the necessity
OF yielding himself TO the Fathers
will rs the supreme purpose and
goal OF his life.
Knew He Must Die
The doubt is merely regarding
what is to be the way in which his
mission will be fulfilled. And In
the intensity with which Jesus
prays that the cup may pass from
him, we realize the completeness
with which he has become one with
us In sharing our human nature.
The very form OF the prayer shows
that deep down In his conscious
ness he realized there was no way
but the way of the cr0Ss 10 was
simply with human feeling that he
shrank from that way.
The lesson and example are very
instructive 10 us. few men are
martyrs by disposition and tenn
permanent. and the man who Is a
martyr in that way might we'll
inquire whether II Is the right at
titude toward life. To die too
willing for a cause may be. after

life. the sound feeling. the plain
common sense. the absence OF any
thing that usually marks the
fanatic. the crank. or the abnormal
man. What was remarkable about
him was the completeness of his

The contrast between the trium-
phal entry into Jerusalem and the
experience that so soon followed IN
Gethsemane we have already en-
phasized. As tSe trfrmphal entry
stands a. a record apart from the
rest OF the story of Jesus. no I'm a
sense, though from n somewhat
different standpoint. the record OF
the experience in GethSemane
stands apart.
Read In the light of the events
that followed the CrucifiNiOn and
the Resurrection. we feel the deep
reality of the experience and It's
unity in the whole story of the mis-
sion and ministry of Jesus. But
standing by itself 10 is i'm contrast
with the passages that suggest the
unique power of Jesus In insight
and woodworking.
