Colorful scenes take place in the night club resort which is patronized by civil and army officers, travellers or any of the whites who have the ncces- sary money to spend, and aboard a boat on the Irawadi river where the principal characters meet again in conflict and romance.

Years Time.

Had a modern Rip Van Wrinkle
forgotten his woes and misfortunes in
continuous slumber from March 3,
1888, until aroused on March 3, 1884,
his bewildered gaze would have rested
upon an America as astounding in its
revived business, its restored conf
dence and its marvellous change as
that which greeted the tabled Rip
Van Wrinkle after the lapse Of a score
Of years." Senator Connally. Demo-
crat. of Texas, said in a radio ad-
dress last night.
change in conditions in this country
during the last year has been largely
due to the superb courage" and
leadership of President Roosevelt
Connally spoke particularly of the
monetary policy of the administra-
zion.
The most fundamental and sweep
ing policy adopted by the administra-
ton was the devaluatfon of the dol
lar he said. THE gold standard was
temporarily abandoned, but it was
restored in a modified form and
reached its climax when Congress
provided for the devaluation of the
dollar and in the subsequent reduc-
tion Of its gold content by the Presi-
dent to 5906 per cent Of its former
gold value.
This action was taken to carry out
broad policy Of lifting commodity
prices and enabling debtors to dis
| charge their mortgage and bonded
Indebtedness In dollars of a value
somewhat comparable to the value OF
the dollar of the time such debts were
| incurred
THE predictions that disaster
would ensue and that ruin would en-
gulf us have vanished Without the
slightest tremor business continued to
| improve and nowhere were observed
the terrOrs which existed only in the
excited and distempered Imagination
