~ ARIS.-A new and vitality i'm
portant realignment of the
powers in Europe is continuing
i to evolve.
Germany. after eight months
of Hitlerism, is still disquieting to most
of its neighbors. France and Germany
seem more stubbornly in opposition
than ever What is new is that, where
as a few years ago France was being
isolated, now it is Germany.
Russia has dropped Germany and
Is working more and more closely with
France Italy, while not entirely drop
ping Germany as yet, is in better re-
lations with France today than for
years past.
Great Britain, which is earnestly
trying to hold the balance among the
conflicting forces, is yet obliged to
side as it formerly leaned toward the
German.
The secret of this realignment is the
widespread belief that Germany. by its
alleged rearming. its effort to Hitlerize
Austria, its whole political theory, is
tending to upset the balance of power
In Europe.
It Is against any such upset that the
other powers are instinctively drawing
together to the temporary profit of
France and French diplomacy, though
what price France will have to pay
for this support in the long run is
still not sure.
German Plan Threefold.
The German plan is believed to be,
first, to rearm with the approval if
possible. of Great Britain and Italy;
second, to force a showdown with
France, which could hardly hope to
stand alone against a rearmed Ger
many, and third, to expand at leisure
in Central Europe until Germany is a
country of more than 200,000,OO0 in
habltants and dominates the continent.
Nobody outside Germany thinks this
program can ever be realized, yet it is
all set forth in German Chancellor
Adolf Hitler's book, My Struggle -
which every Nazi is obliged to buy and
study and which is, so to speak, the
Bible to the Hitler movement. Ex-
tracts from this book have been widely
republished abroad, with such sem
tences, for example, as the following:
depressed territories will not return
to Germany by fiery protests, but by a
hard hitting sword. To forge this sword
is the task of our interior policy. To
insure this forging and to find suitable
allies should be the aim of our foreign
policy. Experience teaches that alli-
ances with negative aims are weak
Nations are drawn together by common
aims, common conquests and common
acquisitions-in short, by common in
creaSeS of power"
What is refused to conciliation
should be taken by the fist"
Il will speak now of the Importance
Of a military alliance with Great Brit
ain and Italy. This would give Ger
many an opportunity to prepare quietly
all the measures necessary for final
settlement with France. Our mortal
enemy would thus be isolated
The political testament of the Ger
man nation regarding foreign policy
should always be: Never tolerate two
continental powers in Europe; see in
every effort to organize another military
power en- the German frontier an at
tack on Germany, and see in it not
only the right but the duty to prevent.
even by arms, the rise of such state,
and, If it arises, destroy it."

refused to laugh. At the time / was
nearly heartbroken, felt that l was
a flop and was about ready to quit pic
lures. Gosh, it was awful!
wasn't writing much in those days,
although since then the papers seem to
like my stuff and pay me for making
wise cracks, which doesn't make me a
bit sore.
For recreation used to keep some
horses and goats on the lot back of
the studio, and l spent most of my
time enjoying the companionship of
dumb but honest animals. They
couldn't laugh at me- Which was en-
couraging!
From Goldwyn's / went to work for
Hal Roach and made series of 2-reel
comedies there. It's serious business
this making people laugh!
I remember when / was in the Fol
lies. All did was my rope act, and
/ didn't say nothing. But one evening
the manager asked me to make an an
nouncement, and foolishly ! did, and
everybody laughed at me or with me,
and was a success, and they've kept
me talking or writing ever since.
That's what comes of talking too much
and trying to help some one out. Now
/ can't stop.
But wise cracks and picture work
pay better than the rope-throwin' act,
and that saves my feelings a lot
Sam Rork, who produced "a Texas
Steer" in which l got the big comedy
part of congressman who was Tex
as cowman, says he picked me out of
all the Hollywood actors because all
the rest of them have morality clauses
in their contracts and are afraid to act
like congressman.
But / figured it out that it's because
was in the Follies. I'm an ex-Follies
graduate, and if Barrymore had my
legs, he could still be on the stage.
But I'd been in the movies before
I signed up for "a Texas Steer" I've
been in more punkin' seed movies, and
most of the job was handling the rope.
But that was smart movie, comedy
special they called it, with real actors
helping me out, and all l had to do
was act the big comedy part of being
a congressman. That's cinch. Any
day in the week any congressman I've
known can give me big laugh acting
natural.
My advice to aspiring movie-struck
folk is to buy good 12-foot rope, prac-
tice with it, and then If you don't sue
coed, why, you can always stretch it
over a nearby tree with one end
around your neck.

Roosevelt ORDERS.
Is PER CENT SLASH.
New Cut, Effective Saturday,
Will SuppIant Hoover
PayIess FurIough.

Making his first use of the broad
powers given him in the recent economy
act, President Roosevelt has issued an
executive order imposing a fiat IS per
cent cut on all Federal employees. both
civil and military.
The order, issued last night, becomes
effective Saturday, and will be ap-
plicable to pay checks issued April Is.
1t actually cuts only an additional 62a
per cent from each employees pay, how
ever, since it does away with the pay
less furlough plan inaugurated in the
Hoover administration. That provided
for q reduction Of 8ls per cent, since
each employe was compelled to take
80 days OF q year without pay.
Last nights order covers only the
three-month period between April l
and June 80, the end Of the fiscal year,
at which time another order will be
issued by the President. Prior to is
suing the second order, new de-
termination in the decline in the cost
Of living since 1928 must be made, but
it is presumed that the second order
will extend the is per cent cut. From
then on, q new determination regard
ing living costs will be made at the
end Of each six months.
Huge Saving Foreseen.
This pay slash, which will affect d.
rectly all employees, high and low, in
cluding members of Congress and en-
listed men in the armed services, but
not constitutional judges or the Presi-
dent, Is estimated to bring about saw
ing of about $4,000, 900 between April
l and June 30, and about 10000. 900
when considered on an annual basis.
Civil service experts estimated that
about 100000 Government employees
would be touched directly by the reduc-
ton.

it was impending and that just as soon

1900 DENIED Jobs
IND. c. BUDGET CUT
All Capital Improvements,
Including New Schools,
Stricken Out.

Action Of the Budget Bureau in elm
mating all capital Improvements in the
1884 District estimates will deny work
to approximately 1000 men in the COM
ing fiscal year, District officials revealed
today as the House Subcommittee on
Deficiencies began hearings on the re-
vised budget.
Engineering department officials
pointed out that the projects removed
from the estimates would have cost $4,-
100000. These projects included pro-
posed new school buildings, bridge con-
struction and highway Improvements
which it was declared would have pro-
vided work for regular District employees
as well as 1000 men who would have
been employed by contractors.
Discussion Secret.
The discussion at the initial hearing
was guarded with utmost secrecy, but
it was learned that the subcommittee
went over the budget estimates with the
Commissioners in general way. In
several instances, it was said, the Com
missioners explained the effects Of the
drastic cuts on certain District items.
The hearing lasted from 1890 until
nearly l o'clock. Another executive
conference began at o'clock this aft
ernoon, at which it was said the sub
committees would decide whether to
call additional witnesses
Only the District Commissioners and
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, auditor and
budget officer, were invited to the hear
ingS.
The hearings, however, were regarded
as more or less perfunctory, and were
likened to an inquest, with the Com
missioners' sitting like coroner's jury
over the corpse of what was a care
fully planned and balanced budget
when it left the District Building last
Fall.
Cannon and Blanton Attend.
Maj. John c. Gotwals, engineer COM
missioner, was the first to arrive for the
hearing He was followed shortly after
ward by Commissioners Reichelderfer
and Crosby, accompanied by Maj. Don
ovan. Chairman Cannon Of the House
Subcommittee on Appropriations, and
Representative Blanton, Democrat, of
Texas, who were members of the group
that framed the original 1894 bill which
died in the last Congress, attended the
hearing in an advisory capacity at the
request of Representative Buchanan,
chairman Of the Appropriations Com
Mittee.
