Beau Geste' for Finland

The Senate had little time for the beau geste during this hurly- burly session of Congress, but it took time out the other day to do so and in most graceful and practi- cal fashion.
 The recipient was the small coun- try of Finland, the only nation in the world which has been punctual in paying its war debts to the United States.
 On the eve of the date when debt payments became due, there came before the Senate in routine man. ner bill calling for an appropria- tion of S300,000 to erect new quar- ters for the American diplomatic and consular services in Helsingfors the Finnish capital.
 McKellar, of Tennessee sought an explanation. Vandenberg of Michi- gan stated the bill frankly is a gesture by way of friendly appre- ciation for the fact there is still some place on earth where inter- national credit still is honored"

Hull Explains Reciprocity.
(Kansas City Times0

CKansaS City TlmeS)
 In his foreign trade week address Secretary Hull replied to nervous manufacturers who frightened at any suggestion of admitting imports that will enable foreigners to pay for more American farm products and other exports
 "The defeatist position7 he said, assumes that lit is hopeless to increase imports without de- stroying domestic industries Of course, in his reciprocal trade agreements the Secretary has no thought of destroying domestic industries. He pointed out that people get wrong picture of imports by thinking of them in large classes. We must not think" he said, fin terms of textiles as whole, of chemicals a whole or steel products as whole. Our imports consist of thousands and thousands of special varieties of products"
 Thus, Sweden makes fine pocket knives France is skilled in the production of handmade laces Italy in hats, Czecho- o-Slovakia in paper cigarette holders Japan in cheap knick- -knacks. A study of these individual items is revealing thousands that can be admitted at lower duties in way that will not seriously disturb American manufacturers. In return there will be obtained foreign tariff sessions that will make possible in the Secretary words "an immense increase in foreign trade to national advantage to the ad- vantage of the farm industry.

Abbey Players Give Fine
Performance at National
OCasey's "Juno and the Paycock" Splendidly
Performed by Talented Group of Irish
Actors-Synge's "Playboy Tonight.

With Mr.. Sean O'Casey's pluperfect
tragi-comedy Juno and the Pay
cock" as their treadmill. the Abbey
Theater Players last night repeated
their habitual march Of dramatic tri-
umph at the National Theater. En-
dowed with the power. imagery and
insight which have distinguished Mr..
O'CaSey'S dramatic writings since the
day his pen scratched out its first
dialogue, Juno proved an apt in
strnment for the talents of the bril-
liant company from the Emerald Isle.
So marked was its success, in fact,
that it is rather to be regretted the
production was scheduled only once
in the current week here.
When a group of performers so
gifted and Schooled as the Abbey
Players looses its abilities upon a
dramatic script, the results are sure
to be about 60 per cent performance,
80 per cent author, with a tithe cred
tied on the ledger to production. For
tunately, this is the case in the Abbey
rendition of Juno" One of O'Casey's
earlier plays, written when he scarcely
knew the meaning of technique or
the names of the theater's practical
tools, the drama is not by any means
his most perfect. 1t is rich in char
acterization, presents a magnificent
picture of the lazy, witty. talkatlve,
mystical, childlike and bitterly patri-
otic Irish workingman and his family.
Every aspect of that genus homo
sapiens is represented by some speech,
action or personality in the piece.
Nevertheless, at times it lacks pare,
slips into the windy vein of the people
it portrays. That fault is evident
especially, almost solely, in the closing
act, proving that once an 1rishman
has gotten hold of a good idea or an
amusing character, he has a terrible
time coming to the end.
In case your curiosity is mounting
to hysteria, Juno and the Paycock"
concerns an indolent Irishman. his
wife, daughter, son, sundry friends
and acquaintances. The father is a
born liar, a stout man at the bar and
natural enemy of labor of whatever

form, size, shape or description. A
sudden windfall inheritance trans
forms the family temporarily into the
Morgans of their Dublin tenement.
When the bonanza fails to materialize,
the whole group collapses under the
weight of foolish debt, and the pro-
found tragedies sprung from mis-
Judgement Of themselves and their
neighbors.
There you have it. Or rather. there
you do not have it until you have

imperSonation of THE Paycock," i"
Capt. Jack Boyle; Eileen Grove as his
long suffering and altogether lovable
wife; F. j. Mccormick in the role Of

martyred son. Miss Aidenn O'Connor,
who plays the daughter, a character
apparently of no interest at all to

other identified persons of the play.

ROOSEVELT GIVEN TABLE

Present From Filipino, Designed

In the center of the main lobby of

a massive round table of Filipino
hardwood, a present to President
Roosevelt from Gen. Emilio Aguin-
aldo, one-time leader of the Philip
pine insurgents and now prosperous
and leading citizen of the islands.
The donor intended for the table to
be used as the Presidents cabinet
table. There are IL separate drawers
around the table appropriately carved
for the President, the Vice President
and each of the 10 members of the
cabinet. Even though the President
would have been willing to substitute
this Aguinaldo table for the long ma
hogany table which has served cabi-
net purposes for two decades, it is i'm
possible since the new table is far too
large to get through the doorways of
the cabinet chamber.

Easy transfers for Government

Discussing an inexpensive trans

mission by the American Fedora
ton of Government Employees, Mr.

r president of the organization, as
follows:
1.-THE plan under cOnsidera-
ti0n, among other things, is
bringing to the attention Of ap-
pointing officers employees in
the service who are qualified for
higher grade work. The COM
missions interest in making the
Federal Civil Service q real
career service is well known,
and any transfer plan approved
will have for its principal OBJ
jective the promotion Of career
opportunities for qualified Civil
Service employees"
A form to be filled out by trans
fer applicants, together with a
certificate of eligibility that would
be presented to appointing Off
GERS. is the salient feature of the
plan being studied by Civil Service
officials.
An indication of the reason for
the current housing scarcity was
provided by the Civil Service re-
port for March, revealing a net
gain of 1871 permanent, emer-
gency and temporary workers in
the District Of Columbia, raising
the city's total to 97,388. Com
MERGE, Labor and MIRA provided
most of the March gains.
