His variety Of roles and interpreta-
tons is the most extensive and the
most uniformly good Of any acting
person I know.
1t was Mary Pickford who first
brought me to Hollywood. To me
she will always stand as the most
practical artist have ever met. She
can dictate policies, handle finances,
bargain with supporting players, at
tend to future booking problems and
still keep her mind on acting. No
wonder she held her place at the top
longer than any personality in motion
pictures.
Thousands of minor personalities
have been associated with me in my
enterprises. I wish I could mention
some Of these gallant troupers Of the
supporting casts, but space doesn't
permit, so I can only give them my
sincere thanks for work well done
After all, that is the greatest OF al

with, he gave less trouble than most
players associated with me.
Jannings Great Actor.
"The Patriot" brought Emil Jannings
and Lewis Stone under my direc-
ton. It was the first time I had
worked with Jannings, although we
were close together at Ufa. JAN
nings is one of the greatest natural
actors who ever came into films, and
say this realizing how broad
statement it is. There is nothing
in acting he didn't know; no part
he couldn't play as well or better
than any one else. And there was
never a role too small for him If 1t
was interesting. Lewis Stone had
many of the same qualities.
Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette
Macdonald were my next two, in 1.-THE
Love Parade" Maurice is one of the
most personable men in pictures and
a more accomplished comedian than
most of us realize. Miss Macdonald
has one of the most glorious singing
voices on the screen and talent
for acting that matches.

NAD.-In discussing the
prominent stars I have d.
Il L rected during period cover
ing some 20 years, I must be care1ui
not to say things which the Unborn
vanity in film artists may resent-ano
perhaps with good cause. The subject
of COMPARISONS must be treated with
greatest delicacy and truth, because
the persons involved are tremendously
important and I wouldn't want 10
hurt their feelings. So I shall try 10
tell you what each Of these prominent
artists meant to me as dlrector' anu
to the finished picture.
The first great star I directed was
Pola Negri, in Gypsy Blood" She
brought so-called foreign temperament
To the screen. and I believe that this
was nothing but glorious bit OF snow
manship. But she was one OF the
most vital persons I have ever known,
combining those important requisites
natural color (the art of being talked
and written about and a highly de-
yeloped and sensitive. artistic instinct
Next came Adolphe Menjou and
Florence Vidor in THE Marriage
Circle" Menjou may go down in mo-
ton picture history as the best-dressed
man on the screen, but like to thlnk
of him as something more important
than that. 1t was he who proved in
pictures that it was possible TO
dress as gentleman and still win
audiences. Before this, all superlatlVe-
" well-dressed men were typed as
screen villains or cads, just as all 1at
actors were comedians.
Pauline Frederick Cooperative.
Then came Pauline Frederick in
"Three Women" This artist was
sensitive performer from the stage; a
complex emotional character who was
one of the most cooperative ana tol-
Grant actresses in this business.
After that, I directed Ronald Col
man and Irene Rich in Lady Wind
ermere's Fan" I remember remark
ing at the time that Mr.. Colman was
one of the most charming and cul-
tured men I was ever associated With.
and I am happy to know that his
pleasant voice and manners have re-
manned in Hollywiid. Miss Rich was a
practical professional actress, and I
know of no finer tribute to pay her.
Ramon Novarro, Norma Shearer and
Jean Hersholt were with me in The
Student Prince" There Is very little
I can say about these players that
hasn't been repeated time after time.
Mr.. Novarro is still a pursuer OF
dreams: Miss Shearer was with me in
the days before she acquired two chill
dren and sophiStication, and l liked
her calm and temperate views OF

one Of the most accomplished and
beautiful girls in pictures today: Mir
lam Hopkins, an unusual personality

Charles Ruggles, who doesn't require

Roland Young, whom directed in

comic who earns a place in a select

ticular field, and neither have Kay

were in Trouble in Paradise"
Both Of these aforementioned play
ers are perfect acting machines, as are
Frederic March, Gary Cooper and

Steps Toward War

Despite the danger to them
selves of unleashing new i'm
perialist war, the ruling classes in
some capitalist countries have al
ready embarked upon active steps.
Thus, Japan did not hesitate to
make war upon China, occupied
Manchuria, and in general makes
itself at home in the country Of
the great Chinese people. Ger
many, as we'll as Japan, has re-
signed from the League of Nations,
hiding the meaning of this policy
from no one. This was done in
order to set her hands free for in
creasing ornaments and war prep
arations. Not long ago the we'll
known Washington Treaty, con-
cluded thirteen years ago between
America, England, Japan and other
states, was shelved because this
agreement began to serve as a
hindrance in the race for naval
ornaments and for the preparation
of new struggles in the Pacific. The
diplomacy and foreign policy OF
bourgeois countries is being turned
more and more to the SELF ion OF
allies for new war to divide the
world between the imperialist
powers at the expense Of the weaker
countries.
I'VE must reckon with the fact
that the direct war danger for the
U. S. S. f. has increased. Some
influential Japanese circles began

Crisis of Capitalism

mot only the enemies" MOlotOv
said, "but even the supporters Of
capitalism cannot deny the fact
that during all these years the
economic crisis has torn capital-
ist society apart and still con-
tinues to do SO. For this reason
we must speak again and again
about the economic crisis in capt.
talist countries, about 10 how low
a level the economy Of these C0un-
tries has fallen. of how work in
the cultural sphere is being cut
short, how the struggle betwTen
the exploiting and exhibited
classes is becoming more and more
intense. We must also speak of
how the struggle between differ
ent countries is growing sharper,
and the war anger increasing.
New facts continually show that
the special meaning of the present
economic crisis is comprehensive
only if we realize that the general
crisis of the capitalist system
developing before our eyes is al
ready in its second decade. The
process of the decav of capitalism
is becoming intensified more and
more. The crisis has affecte,: all
capitalist countries. Not only indus
try, but every branch of agricul-
ture is passing through a period of
crisis. The crisis has affected COM
nlerce, credit. and all other phases
of economic life in capitalist coun-
tries.
"The level Of Industrial production
has never fallen so low as in recent
years, and in the past there was
never a situation when the crisis
dragged out over five years. Last
year brought no important changes
in the development of the economic
crisis, although the world level Of
industrial output has slightly risen.
as compared with the previous wear.
mo country has yet reached the
level of 1929 when the c~ssis had
only begun. The industrial output
Of the United States is still SO per
cent lower than in 1929. The level
Of industrial output in France dur
ing 1884 fell even below that of
1893, and was 90 per cent lower
than before the crisis. while Italy
has suffered decline of 20 per cent.
Germany shows an increase in in
dustrial output during 1894, but
nevertheless the industrial produc-
ton Of Germany is ia per cent
lower than in 1929 In Great Britain
the industrial output approached the
nearest to the 1929 level, but even
here industry has not reached even
pre-war levels.
at the same time the volume
Of industrial production in the Sow
let Union during 1884 comprised
239 per cent, as compared with
1929.
Altogether the volume of world
industrial production, not counting
the Soviet Union, is still "a per cent
below the 1929 level. These facts
fully confirm the conclusions of
Comrade Stain at the Seventeenth
Congress of the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1935-01-30

Formerly the transition of the crisis
into depression was not on INC
first step towards emerging from
the crisis, but also the signal for
new industrial boom. But we are
not now dealing with the industrial
depressions of the pre-war period,
when capitalism advanced through
crisis to new boom. but with de-
preston of a special type, inherent
in decaying capitalism, capitalism
in its last stages.
I'VE are particularly interested to
know how this affected the situation
of the workers and peasants, of all
toilers. The number of those I'M
employed in 1888 amounted to from
twenty-five to twenty-three millions,
At the end of 1884 the number of
unemployed was unchanged, that is,
not less than twenty-five millions.
Even in the countries where the
volume of industrial production in
creased during the last year, wages
remained approximately at their
previous level, or increased an in
significant amount. This means that
wages were reduced for many en-
ployed workers. Thus capitalism is
attempting to Chamber out of the
crisis at the expense Of the workers,
at the expense of the toilers.
Regarding agriculture IN the
capitalist and colonial countries, the
year 1884 was a year of widespread
crop failure and also a year of fur
Their decline in animal husbandry.
With the aim of forcing up the
prices of produce for the landlords
and kulaks, the bourgeois govern
ments frequently conduct a policy
of the direct reduction of the sown
area and the policy of abandoning
machine technique in agriculture.
But they thus only doom agricul-
ture to degradation. In this con-
nection the situation Of the peasant
masses of the capitalist countries
and colonies are still further
Worsened.
"Thus all that the ruling circles
did to ameliorate the crisis in CAPT
talist countries was done at the
expense of the peasants, at the ex-
pense of the toilers, for the benefit
of the ruling exploiting classes.

Foreign Relations

Comparing the Soviet Union
with bourgeois countries, especially
during these last years, discloses the
principles and world significance Of
the dictatorship of the proletariat
of the U. S. S. R. as a state of
steady economic and cultural i'm
provement, as the only state for
which crises do not exist" cloud
applause)
Molotov passed on to the relations
of the U. S. S. r. with the cap
italist countries and its struggles for
peace.
There are no internal hindrances
towards the further growth Of our
country" said Molotov. But mat
tiers are dicerent with external him
ORANGES. The continuing crisis in
capitalist countries has sharpened
the danger of external complica-
tions, the danger of war. In the
search for way out of the crisis
and the long drawn-out depression
the bourgeois classes are increasing
their pressure on the workers and
on the toilers.
1.-THE striving to Chamber out of
the crisis by this pressure at the
expense of the working classes and
toiling peasants determines the in
ternal policy of bourgeois govern
ments. The relics of parliamenta-
rism and bourgeois democracy are
being abolished, sometimes openly,
sometimes in a concealed form.
The policy OF using direct vio-
Ience and terror against the toilerS
is becoming more and more popular
with the bourgeoisie. This leads to
a sharpening of the internal situa-
ton OF capitalist countries. At the
same time, the relations between
different capitalist nations are de-
veloping with increased intensity
in the direction of renewed struggles
for foreign markets, passing more
and more frequently into CONNER
cial and currency warfare. Pactfist
talk by bourgeois governments is
disappearing into the past. Pacifism
is no longer fashionable. In bour-
geois countries the extreme i'm
perialists among the business lead
ers are coming closer to the as
sumption of power, and are weigh
ing more and more openly the pros
pect of new wars for plumber,
hoping to emerge from the crisis
through war.

Huge Soviet Growth

after this it is not difficult to
compare the two lines of world de-
velopment. The rise in national
economy, steadily going ahead year
after year is the path of the USSR,
the country constructing socialism.
The crisis of industry and of the
entire national economy, continuing
over five years and, despite some
improvement, not opening up pros
poets for new prosperity, is the path
of development Of the capitalist
countries, the path of decaying
capitalism.
1--WE here in the Soviet Union al
ready show a considerable excess
income beyond our expenditures, at
home as well as in foreign trade,
which was not formerly true. Large
debts which had accumulated abroad
in the past, have been reduced to
one-qusrter in recent years, and
now our Indebtedness cannot be
considered large. Along with this,
the output of the gold mines in
creased six times during the last
four years. All this radically changed
our currency situation, and in gen.
eral, our position on foreign mar
kets. The Soviet Union, moreover,
paid all commercial obligations and
bills in full and on time. Everyone
abroad well knows that when the
Soviet Union makes a commercial
agreement, it will pay on it, not by
token payment, as is often the Gus
tom nowadays in many bourgeois
countries, but will pay promptly, not
in promises, but in cash. (Applause.)
1t follows from this that now, more
than ever, we have the possibility
of ensuring normal conditions for
our foreign trade.
"But while developing political
and commercial relations with other
countries, the Soviet Union well
understands the significance of a
reliable defense of its borders. Who
can deny that not a single country,
small or large, has ever been
threatened, or is threatened, with
seizure by the Soviet Union? But
on the other hand. who can deny
