 TO GET NATIONS INTO AGREEMENT
P remier Macdonald Ex- plains Purposes of Com
 ing Trip to America

LONDON, April 13. - British Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald, during a Foreign Affairs debate. in the House of Commons today, out lined the objective of his trip to Washington as an attempt to bring the nations of the world closer to- gether, not in alliances, but in a spirit, to secure a cooperative ef- fort for the solution of the econ- omic and political problem.
 To Leave U. s. Alone
 The Prime Minister said he would never try to persuade America to do otherwise than carry out the historic policy of staying clear of European entanglement and the "only possible exception would be in the event of world agreement, quite clearly defined, regarding the aggressor and America having previously been party to that agreement"
 Threatening Influences
 The Prime Minister further de- clared the world court not be in different to certain threatening influences active in Europe today. We must not allow them to ob- struct our progress toward disarma- ment but we must consider condi- tions and be very careful at the same time as to how these condi- tions are to operate"

 The program itself may be epito- mixed in three items:
 l. A balanced budget, necessi- tating drastic governmental reor- Iganization. 2. Close regulation of banking, finance and business generally, with emergency supervision of such hard hit industries as agriculture and the railroads.
 3. Increased attention to the re- lief situation, through public works land federal appropriations.

JOE E. BROWN
At EARLE IN
SAILOR YARN
Unprecedented and
Laughable Feats
Sho,cn by Star.

WHILE restraint is not among the
w most widely heralded endowments
of Joe E Brown, there Is certain
amount of trimming along the edges of
his buoyant self, that Is noticeable In
the building of his latest motion pic
ture. "Son of a Sailor" which is shown
at the Earle Theater. This trimming,
it is true, has not affected his comic
qualities, but has the effect of creating
some pCiSe and large amount OF the
fluency that sends him easily along tne
course of a rapidly moving story.
Any play with this star in the
ascendant is necessarily bound 10 the
tradition that he shall engage IN en-
terprises that have never previously
been brought to public attention. Most
noticeable in the inventions that have
been attached to Son of a Sailor" are
the incidents Of his descent in para
chute from an airplane, landing on an
old cruiser that is being used as tar
get by bombing planes, and his pres
ence as an enlisted sailor at the dinner
table of a group of highly ranked naval
officers.
1t Is in the bombing affair that ne
hides in a man-siZe can and Is blown
through the air with spectacular effect,
ship, where he receives promotion
through his unwilling capture of an
airman who has been trying to escape
with valuable secrets of the service.
At the dinner table of the naval not
ables, he diScourses with true Joe
Brown assurance on the most important
naval problems. A typical feature Of
the play is the ring battle of the star,
in which he finds the elements of
comedy in the athletic line, which has
been one of his favorite forms Of &C
tivity The airplane incident is en-
livened by the fact that the Navy is
trying out the use of robots, with con-
troll which takes the machine back to
the ship.
Mr.. Brown is assisted by Thelma
Todd. Jean Muir and Johnny Mack
Brown in the development of the more
civilized portions of his present task,
and the total effect of the play is Of
such a nature as to compare well with
his previous ventures.
Charlie Ahearn and his millionaire"
head the stage program at the Earle,
and they are about the most definitely
classified with the burlesque side Of
musical effort that the stage has pro-
duced. Trick features are numerous,
and the act is completely original. Ross
and Edwards, who won unusual success
at the opening performances. present
songs and jokes. with incidental dane
ing of remarkable skill The Four
Mullens, womens quartet. are skilled
singers and employ two pianos and a
