Yours for the Asking

WE entered into a treaty with Russia almost two
w years ago. The things Of providers to which
the Administration apparently takes exception have
been said by him constantly for almost as long a
period in the radical press, numerous platforms
and in his book Communism in the United States.
which YOU can obtain quite easily by asking for 1t
at your nearest book dealers.
It is pertinent to stress the fact that Mr.. Browder
was born in this country and is just as American
as Ham" Fish Whether YOU agree with his political
and economic philosophy not he has just as much
right to his opinions Ralph Easey has until
the Bill of Rights is torn to pieces. AS I understood
the Russian agreement. the Soviet Republics agreed
not to send agents prOpagandze in this country,
but it would have been the height of impertinence
if any Russian representative had said And viii
also agree to instruct your nationals to keep
their mouths shut the subject of Communism"
AS a matter of fact there exists in America
small. but highly articulate. group which contends
that they are the real custodians of true Commu-
nism since they follow the teachings of Trosky and
totally reject the leadership of Stain. How could
n Russian ambassador promise to silence them? And
our own A. J. Music. who once head Of the
Federations of Labor College frankly advocates the
overthrow of the government by armed force but
without benefit of orders from Russia

Sometimes a Local Issue

TINE position taken by the State Department in
j. its note seems to rest on the wholly erroneous
point of view that nobody in America ever has a
radical thought utters a radical word unless he
has received a picture postcard from Joseph Stain.
Severance of relations with Russia would not abate
radical propaganda here by one jot My own impress
sion is that all Russian officials in this country have
bent over backward effort to keep to the strict
letter of the Litvnof agreement.
The Russian consul in New York was recently
summoned home because of the illness of his wife.
Some official the Chase National Bank asked
me- a good SAFE neutral, to be POSTMASTER at q
farewell dinner which they rendered to him. I can't
remember now whether it was a banking radical
friend or both. who gave the invitation. AT any
rate I went and in introducing Hans Won Kalten-
born the radio commentator, took occasion TO say
that Mr. Won Kaltenborn one of the few liberal
voices heard over the air and that our radio was by
no means free. The Russian consul leaned over TO
me and whispered please don't say anything against
ANYTHING in America. 1t embarraSses me-.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

A early as 1873 scientists were beginning to con-
n slider the dangers involved in deep sea diving.
Nowadays, with the taking of motion pictures far
below the surface Of the sea- and with the marvellous
observations that have been made by Prof. William
Beebe interest in diving far into the ocean depths
is becoming widespread.
Three major difficulties must be overcome in
deep sea diving: % Carbon dioxide poisoning. %
oxygen poisoning 80 Compressed air disease.
When a person breathes he gives out certain
amount of carbon dioxide. A normal amount Of it
is necessary to maintain the rate of breathing.
Naturally a diver who is breathing into closed sys
tenn has to be supplied with sufficient air to pre-
vent an over-accumulaton of carbon dioxde.
Fortunately, chemists have been able to develop
a canned chemical substance which absorbs carbon
dioxde when the diver breathes it out. Thus the
diver is supplied with air from high pressure sys-
tenn and the canister takes up the excess carbon
doxide.
TN pumping air to the diver, he is given oxygen.
An excessive amount of oxygen will cause con-
WILSON'S with Inconsistencies and even DEATH 1t Is
recognized nowadays that in proper breathing, the
power of the blood to combine with carbon dloXde
in the tissues and carry it to the lungs depends on
the giving up of oxygen to the tissues by the red
coloring matter in the blood
Hence, provision of just the right amount OF
oxygen for deep sea divers is of the greatest mpor-
lance
One of the greatest handicaps to divers is, of
course, what is known as compressed ar illness.
When diver is exposed to compressed air. the blood
passing into his lungs takes up an increased proper
ton of oxygen and nitrogen.
The nitrogen gets loose in the form Of bubbles.
Associated with these are paralysis, asphixia, and
sometimes excruciating pain, pain so severe that
it causes the person double over. Divers call this
condition the bends"
II is recognized now that this condition can be
controlled by providing suitable amounts Of oxygen
under pressure and that proper compression and de-
compression will prevent development Of the symp-
TOMS
ONE of the most interesting observations IS that
~ of the occurrence in divers of sensations IN
which they seem to be dizzy faint or semi-conSclous
but in which they are nevertheless capable Oh an
svverinp questions and conducting themselves in
what seems 10 be a normal manner. Yet when they
come to the surface they have no memory whatever
of the entire proceeding.
investigators believe that this is a form of psy-
GEOLOGICAL disturbance which does not occur With
all PERSONS but only with certain types.

down the price gradually, thereby
selling more cotton abroad.
So the President yielded.
II
DUT here he and his advisers
- made two strategic mistakes.
First, they might have continued
a straight 12-cent loan and let
the Supreme Court declare the
Bankhead Bill unconstitutional
as it probably will do. In this
case, Mr.. Wallace's end would
have been achieved, while Mr..
Roosevelt would have received adj
dition public support for his cleo
ton campaign issue of "constitu-
tiOnality."
Second, they might have de-
layed announcing the 9-cent COM
promise until the day after Con-
gress adjourned. AS it happened,
the announcement came a few
days before, causing a political
hurricane from the cotton belt
that is still blowing, and pro-
longation of the congressional
session.
Southern Senators remembered
the Presidents 12-cent loan
pledges. we're irate and wrathy.
Senator George told friends he
would never again cross the White
House doorstep. Senators James
F. Byrnes of South Carolina, Pat
Harrison of Mississippi and Joseph
Robinson of Arkansas were up
against the prospect of defeat IN
the coming election.
There followed the cotton-wheat
deadlock in Congress and the
compromise of 10-cent loan plus
a 2-cent subsidy to farmers.
OFFICIALS of the AAA expect
~ cotton farmers to be satisfied
when they fully understand the
plan. Those who will not be sat-
isfed are:
l. Textile mills with large
SLOChS VI lH-OCAAO NOOSOAAs OO%~-
petitors buying cheaper cotton
can bankrupt them.
2. Retailers with large stocks
of higher priced cotton textiles on
hand.
3. Growers~who have produced
more than the AAA allotment,
totaling about a 1,500, 000-bale
surplus. These have to pay the
government a tax of cents a
pound, which deducted from 10
cents, leaves them only 4 cents.
Moreover. since they produced a
surplus, they get no 2-cent sub
sidy.
But those receiving this subsidy
must sign up for 1886 reduction in
advance, and agree in advance to
accept whatever acreage cut the
AAA later DEGREES. Thus the AAA
will hold the whip-hand over cot
ton in 1886.

favor Moreover Mrs Bagnato is said to be disposed
to challenge the score of the leader, Mrs. Mathew
Kenny who has had H. the ground that only
three of Mrs Kenny'S children have lived.
Another woman Mrs Stephano Darrigo, with
seven babies registered in the score. might rush up
from behind like the Boston Braves of 1914 and win
the 100000 with quntuplets. Such belated rally
is not be expected of course but anything is pos
sible in Canada and a woman who has had seven
in less than nine years must always be considered
DANGEROUS contender.

TINE same procedure is used in
Il filming dance numbers. The
dancing for Photographic pur-
poses is done after the music and
sound effects have been recorded.
After the days shooting is fin
ished, the director and cast wend
their way to a projection room to
look at the brushes" (the previous
days scenes). This is done so that
any scene containing a bad flaw
can be remade Immediately.
Sets are always kept standing
until after the director has seen
the "rushes.' Then they're torn
down if no scenes have to be re-
made.
Filming a picture doesn't wind
it up by any means, however.
When that's completed, the film
must be cut and edited-a pains
taking job. Approximately 100000
feet of film are shot on the av-
erage picture. This must be cut
to about $500 feet.
A cutter usually assemblies the
film in the proper sequence as the
shooting progresses. Consequently,
by the time the director is ready
to do the final cutting and edit
ing, he has a rough picture OF
about $1,000 feet in length, plus
several thousand feet of closeupS.
LIE puts closeups in where he
IL feels they are needed ard
slices the film to about 5000 feet
for the first preview.
After the preview, the rest of
the cutting is done, these final
examinations being governed by
the audiences reaction. A pre-
view may also reveal the neceS-
sity for remaking an entire scene
or possibly shooting one of two
additional scenes to clarity plot
development.
If numerous retakes are made
after the first previeW, a second
one is held. Otherwise, the pic
ture is simply trimmed down to
proper length and released.
Ordinarily 200 prints are made
on each picture. They are distrib-
uted throughout the country and
usually are shown over q period
of about six months.
While outstanding pictures may
get bookings over a much longer
period, the average film is pretty
dead after it has been out that
long.
TINE earnings of a picture are
Il to a certain extent contingent
upon its COST However, there are
plenty of exceptions to this rule.
1T Happened One Night" for
example, cost only $450,OOO and
has crossed about 100000.
The Scarlet Empress" and "The
Woman Is a Devil" on the other
hand, cost about $1,000,000 each
and didn't get back their costs.
Film executives don't cater en-
tirely to the tastes of the Amer
lean public, however. The recep-
ton accorded their pictures in
other countries is equally impor-
tant.
Studio heads now plan on get
ting half their revenue in the
foreign market, with the British
Isles, Canada. and Australia sup
plying by far the major portion
of it.

other short subjects also are i'm

Finally, the cameraman sings OUT

dialog and they start over. This
time the rehearsal is good.
"All right, we'll make ii" says
Mr.. Young. Quiet everybody, this
is a take. Turn 'em over"
TINE cameras start running. A
Il buzzer indicates they are
running at normal speed and the
players start their action. The
scene runs 40 seconds.
Young isn't quite satisfied with
the infection of their voices, so
he orders a second take. This
time it takes Kent too long to

A third take is ordered. 1t

a positive print is to be made
from the negative of the fourth
take. while the negative on the
third is held in reserve in c"se
it's needed.
Altogether 80 minutes have
elapsed and only one 40-trcond
scene is "in the can" And they're
not through yet. That was just
the long shot.
Now cloSeupS must be made OF

flashes of each as they speak I'M

NEARLY two hours have passed
L y by the time the closeupS are
finished and the net result still
will run only 40 seconds on the
screen. However, that's pretty
fast work-an average of four
minutes a day.
1t won't last. though. Some
thing will happen to slow them
down-some dialog will have to be
rewritten, the film will buckle in
the camera, tube in the sound
apparatus will blow out, or Is
takes will have to be made Of a
scene before it's right.
Shooting may be delayed by any
one of a dozen mishaps.
These are particularly apparent
during the making of a musical
picture. Such films just add more
problems to those of an already
worried director. Not only does
he have to contend with all the
problems of an ordinary picture,
but with the recording Of songs
and music as well.
Today this recording usually is
done before shooting starts. Then
when it's time for the action to
be filmed, the sound track is
played back on an simplifying
apparatus on the set.
The singer hears his own voice
singing the song and silently
mouths the words in perfect syn
chronization.

A BOUT this time, however,
"A Henry Wallace and Chester
Davis, AAA administrator, stepped
into the picture. They objected
strenuouSly to continuation of the
12-cent loan, registered two main
arguments to support their OBJ
jections:
l. By 1886, the accumulation Of
cotton stocks in government hands
would be great enough to break
the market, hurting both farmers
and mill owners in the long run.
2. Other sections of the coun-
try. claiming cotton was favored,
would demand price guarantees
for wheat, corn, tobacco, potatoes
and so on.
So Mr.. Roosevelt told Mr.. Da-
Wis and Mr.. Wallace to cook up
some plan which would ward off
these catastrophies, yet save his
face in regard to promises made
to Southern Senators.
Thereupon Oscar Johnson,
head of the governments cotton
pool, concocted the 9-cent loan
plus a subsidy to farmers based
upon the average four month
cotton price from Sept. l to Jan.
l. This would net the farmer
about 3 cents additional-or a to-
tai Of u cents.

XXTASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Be-
w hind the last-minute squab-
BILE over wheat and cotton subsi-
dies which delayed adjournment
of Congress was penetrating, bit
ter drama.
It revealed the fact that the
StancheSt pillars of Southern De-
mocracy are a long way from being
with their chieftain in the White
House. 1t cut to the roots of the
economic future of the South. 1t
raised the question of whether
King Cotton long can reign SUI
preme over his domain.
Groundwork for the drama be-
gan months ago when Senators
John H. Bankhead of Alabama,
Cotton Ed" Smith of South Caro-
lima, Walter F. George of Georgia
and other cotton Senators received
assurances from Mr.. Roosevelt
that they need not worry about
the cotton loan, that farmers
would get II cents for their cot
ton.
Whether Mr.. Roosevelt said that
the 12-cent cotton loan would be
continued or merely that farm
ers would get u cents per pound
on their crop is now a matter of
grave debate and misunderstood
ing.
At any rate, the Senators say
they understood the former, and
on the strength of this Cotton
Ed" chairman of the Senate Ag-
ricultural Committee, forgot his
aversion to the AAA and rushed
the AAA amendments; while
other Senators tipped off their
cotton and textile friends that the
12-cent cotton would continue.
