Radio Stops Rivalry
Among Entertainers

Times Special
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Radio has
eliminated much of the pickering
among slightly limelight- conscious
entertainers, according to Rosario
Bourbon. Mr.. Bourbon conducts
the orchestra for Jessica Drago-
nette's Friday night broadcasts.
I'm pictures" Bourbon said, odd
timers could take it away from new
corners every time. They would get
the benefit of every camera angle.
Stage players frequently resorted to
coughing or moving on their rivals
lines.
But in radio, this is impossible.
A performer speaks his lines into
the microphone, and can not talk
louder or more forcefully than the
script calls for. Listeners judge the
performance as they hear it, and
award their approval to those with
most ability"

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
rs DOING A HARD JOB WELL.

The Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce
has hard job to perform, and it is do
ing it efficiently and capably. There are
some who feel that its activities should
be limited to boosting and helping those
movements which are designed to ben
eft Ell Centre only. On the other hand,
outside criticism is directed at the local
chamber on grounds that it is selfish
and interested only in improving this
community as against the rest of the
Valley. These sources feel that the
chamber, representing business in the
county seat, should stimulate a closer
feeling of friendliness and mutually be-
tween all parts of the Valley We agree
with the latter opinion. Primarily, of
course, this chamber should strive to
build this city, and other chambers
should strive to build theirs. But the
best way to strengthen each, Is to
strengthen and build up all. In this lar
ger sense, then, the chamber has a dou-
bic task and is performing it well, pro-
gressively and capably, first by endors-
ing and concerning itself with all i'm
portant local problems; secondly by
showing the other chambers that it is
willing to do more than its part in pro-
noting the Valley as whole. This is not
an altruistic attitude. On the contrary,
like most things, 1t Is founded on an
economic belief that, as Ell Centre claims
to be the heart of Valley business, it
promotes its volume of patronage by
augmenting Valley population, buying
power, and income. 1t is not wise to
overlook immediate activities. Nor is it
wise to overlook the fact that often by
benefitting our neighbors, we benefit
ourselves most. The Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce knows this and is meeting
the double purpose in manner deserv-
ing commendation.

JAPAN LEADS THE WAY
BACK TO 4RMAMENTS.

Japan has walked out of the arma-
ments conference in London and vibra-
tions of her footsteps may, and prob
ably will, reach into every home in the
land Japan's departure ends eleven
years of limited armaments, which
meant lowered taxes on the masses of
population in the five major powers.
Today, now that the sky again threatens
to become the limit on national eXpendi-
lures for defense, this country faces the
necessity of adding to her other count
less financial burdens, still another to
provide for increased armies navies and
air defenses. In fact, simultaneously
with the breaking up of the London con-
ference, comes news of recommendations
being made by Secretary of War and Sec
retary of the Navy for an immediate in
crease of our forces on land and sea.
Plans are also proposed for establish
ment of four giant air bases. The world
again turns toward prewar armament

and international intrigue, of people
stopped under costs of tramping armies

tee is trying to understand why dollars

East. ENGLAND because of India and
her power in China, and this country
because of the Philippine islands),
union between these two countries would
appear inevitable With Japan planning
a building boom of war ships, the only
way for US to avoid similar race would
be treaty with England providing for
her aid in case of clash. But treaties
work both ways, and this country has
declared it doesn't want to fight any
body else's battles. History repeats itself
hopelessly. After all, there is little prog
ress being made in handling national
safety Leagues and conferences to the
contrary, the law of international tooth
and fang still rules.

= LUCKY SPEECH {.
y WONDERING MINDS
= CONSPICUOUS
:. AMONG THE MIGHTY
By RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON.-It was good
thing the Democrats had a speech
on the program for their Jackson
Day dinner. Otherwise, most OF the
guests wouldn't have been able to
take their minds or eyes off the
Hon. j. Bruce Kremer.
To tell the truth, there was even
more inter- table and intra- table
whispering about the Hon. j. Bruce
than there was over the stiff fact
that the dinner was costing $50 a
plate.
He was stuck right in at the head
table between the president and
the vice president of the United
States and nobody could have been
more conspicuous unless he had
hung from one of the magnificent
chandeliers by the slack of his pants.
Once upon time Mr.. RooSevent
had publicly frowned upon the va
riouS Democratic national commit
teemen who had moved here to be-
come lawyer lobbyists and cash in
on their political mountaineering
and prestige-and it was around
that time that Committeeman kre-
mer of Montana and others resigned
OF course j. Bruce was chairman
of the committee which organized
the dinner, but efforts to learn how
he landed that post or his seat at
table proved all in vain.
x 4 4
MANY other lobbyists we're there
and most of them were looking en-
viously at Mr.. Kremer. Also, social
climbers, favor-seekers, politicians,
hick congressman, and host OF job
holders were there because they
feared their absence would put them
on the bad books of the patronage
pie-counCer.
It takes all kinds to make a po-
litical party and elect president.
The Democratic National Commit
tee. for instance, is loaded with "Old
Dealers" of California, Tai
madge of Georgia, Paddy Nash OF
Chicago, Taggart of Indiana, Ruby
Laffoon of Kentucky, Howard Bruce
of Maryland, Ely of Massachusetts,
Hague of New Jersey, Chavez of
New Mexico, Shipping of North Car
olina, Ewing of Utah, Byrd of Vir-
ginia, and many others who don't
exactly click with Roosevelt liberal
ISM
ROOSEVELT'S speech was worth
at least part Of the admission price.
You can judge its content for your
self, but hardly deny that this is
the most elective, appealing, and
brilliant gent who has been in pres
idential politics in many long year.
This was a fighting man and it
was easy to see him as a refined
replica of Andrew Jackson.
r
NEXT day, when Jim Farley auc-
toned off the national convention,
you found Kremer and Arthur Null
len, the celebrated lobbyist and ex-
committeeman from Nebraska, sit
ting right in the middle of the
Democratic. National Committee,
from which they were commonly
supposed to have been barred be-
cause of their lucrative business ac-
tivities.

for the national committeeman

waii.
