NEAR DECISION
ON ITS FUTURE
La Guardia Says One Road
May Lead to Dictator;
Other Levels Upward
BY FLORA G. ORR
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON, March BIN
just a few months, possibly weeks,
We will know which road we will
take out of our economic troubles.
This is the prophecy Of Repre-
sentative Fiorello H. LaGuardia
independent, fighting Republican
from New York.
I'VE will come out by one Of two
routes, says La Guardia. 1T may
be that we will follow the plans Of
the Mellon-H Mitchell school,
which would level most of us down,
so that a smaller property-owning
class is on top, whereas the masses
exist with lower standards of living
and lower wages, and most farm
ers live as tenant-peasants on the
land Of which they were once
masters.
1T may be, however, that we will
emerge on what I may call the
leveling-upward plan, with indus
tries operating under such super
vision and control that more Of the
profits go to the workers and fewer
to the so-called owners.
This would mean that the gov
eminent must have close supervi-
sion of its natural resources such
as coal, oil, and transportation.
This tremendous economic
struggle is now going on. Many
things may happen.
Perhaps a dictator, If the
Observation-Disclosures school is
victorious. But we may not endure
the dictator long. What then?
Who can tell?
But the day Of clipping coupons
to realize big annual incomes is
just about done.
I'VE may see a capital levy. Big
interest rates on loaned money will
be no more. Money probably will
bring no more than from l to 3
per cent in the future"

Men Must Fight was directed
by Edgar Selwyn. The picture is
based on the play by Reginald
Lawrence and S. K. Lauren, which
provoked wide comment in its New
York stage presentation earlier this
season.
Robert Young, last seen here in
"The Kid from Spain," gets a
chance to display his dramatic
wares in heading the supporting
cast, which includes such noted
stage and screen talent as Robert
Greig, Hedda Hopper, Donald Dilla-
way, Mary Carlisle, and Luis Al
berni.
The picture depicts the drama of
a woman who, losing her lover in
one war, fights to prevent her son
from being forced to take up arms
in another war.
One of the thrilling episodes of
the drama is an air attack on New
York City with the destruction of
the Empire State Building, Brook
lyn Bridge, and other famous struc-
lures.
Short subjects comprising the bal
ance of the program includes a
Charley Chase Comedy, Mature in

lived the prophecies Of Sibyl,
whom the ancient Romans con-
suited about the fate Of the
state and the fortunes Of indi-
viduals. In this grotto Of
Cumae she lived-whoever she
was ami whatever she was
while kings and senators and
common men came to her with
their problems. She wrote on
leaves gathered from the trees
the names and fates of indi-
vidualS.
In the reign Of one of the
Tarquins, the Sibyl offered for
sale nine books. having an i'm
mense sum. The king refused
to buy, whereupon the Sibyl
destroyed three books and de-
manded the same price for the
remaining six. Again the king
rejected the offer. The Sibyl
burned three more, and asked
for the three that we're left the
same price she had demanded
for the nine. Tarquin, impelled
by curiosity, bought the books.
When examined they we're
found to contain the destinies
Of the Roman state. They were
kept in a stone chest and in.
spected only on great OCCASIONS.
