Featuring an imposing cast head lined by beautiful Marie Oberon, Frederic March and Herbert Mar shall, "The Dark Angel" comes to Warner Brothers Strand theater to- day for a three day engagement.
 Beyond this, "The Dark Angel" Is, we think, the most power full and gripping romantic dra- ma to reach the screen since "A Farewell to Arms" skillfully adapted by Lillian Tzellman, author

country and its people? The very
qualities that his administration
holds UP to scorn-American initia-
tive, American energy and Ameri-
can frugality. Yet today we are
told that initiative must be con-
trolled,t that energy and hard work
must be restricted, that saving has
become a crime against society.
The pioneers of Detroit dreamed
OF producing automobiles at so low
q price that they could be owned
~ the many. They have made
their dream come true.
The automobile industry. instead
OF talking about recovery, has
worked for recovery. This industry
has led the way back from depres-
sion, and ! do not think 1t is with
out significance that this industry
resisted at every turn the compul-
sorry regulations imposed by the
N. r. A. Indeed, one of its most
distinguished leaders never signed
the code Of the Blue Eagle.
Fought and Put Thousands
On Real Pay Rolls Again.
The automobile industry was not
content to stand still. Instead, IL
used all the intelligence 1t could
command to improve its product,
lower Its price and enlarge its mar
ket. In this way it has returned
thousands to work-real work at
real wages.
There could be no better example
to show that the need of this coun-
try Is not for Government that
attempts to direct and manage our
lives. The need Is for a Govern
nlent that will protect our rights
and foster American initiative, en-
ergy and frugality.
1t Is the first duty of Government
TO protect us from abuses-from the
abuses of concentrated power,
whether that power be public or
private. The protection against
abuse by private power is vigilant
insistence that free competition be
preserved. The protection against
the abuse Of public power is vigi-
liant insistence on the rights of our
citizens under the Constitution.
II the Federal Government does
not have the authority under the
Constitution to prevent the abuse
Of private power, 1t should 60 to the
people openly and ask for this au-
thority. The way Is clear, the
mechanism Is defined by the Con-
stitution itself. I do not condemn
requests for new powers when they
seem necessary. But do condemn
efforts to obtain powers by devious
methods without the peoples
consent.
II the President thinks agri-
cultural and industrial anarchy
can be prevented only by the re-
enactment Of the principals Of
N. r. A. and A. A. A. let him say so.
Let him tell us-and tell us before

Landon's Speech on Executive Powers
Nominee Speaking at Detroit Claims First Steps Taken
TO

Congress has been told 1t must
pass this law or that law. II has
been told it must appropriate
money for the President to spend
as he sees fit. This has not been
a question of Executive leadership
and advice in the drafting of laws.
1t has been a question Of the Pres
ident sitting down around a table
with experienced members of con-
gressional committees and discuss
ing what Is best to be done.
This administration has called
upon its appointed subordinates. to
draft the laws. Then by executive
pressure these laws were forced
through Congress without adequate
debate. 1t is little wonder so many
OF these laws were declared un-
constitutional.
Propaganda Machine
Used to Discredit Critics.
But this was not all. When
any man dared criticize this policy
of economic planning, the admin
istration brought into use its gigan-
tic propaganda machine to dis
credit him. Even the Supreme
Court did not escape. 1t made no
difference that the court was only
performing its duty when it de-
clared unconstitutional laws which
an untrammeled Congress would
not have passed, and a wise exec
utive would not have signed.
But in spite of these devices, in
spite OF the sweeping powers which
the Chief Executive has accumu-
lated, these plans have not worked.
There is only one test that we know
in America for judging a plan. 1t
is the test OF Did it work." Not
Did it sound well?" did it look
well on paper?" 1t is did it
work." BY that test the plans of
this administration have failed.
During the life of the N. r. A.
codes, which supposedly were de-
signed TO put men back to work,
100000 more people. according to
the figures Of the American Feder-
alton of Labor, Joined the ranks
Of the unemployed. And the De-
partment of Agriculture itself has
estimated that the A. A. A., by its
cotton program alone, destroyed in
1884 the equivalent of jobs for a
million men.
This whole economic planning
has not led to the promised Sc
curity. It has disturbed industry,

Great Concentration Of Power
Neither Necessary Nor Wise.
I do not believe that greater and
greater concentration of power in
the hands Of the Federal Govern
ment. and particularly in the Ex-
ecutive. Is either necessary or wise.
I believe that we should continue
to use our 48 sovereign States to
try out new ideas in the field Of
Government. However, II ] am
elected and fnd that new powers
are needed by the Federal Govern
ment. I shall favor Congress going
to the people openly and ask for
such powers throught a Constit.
tutional amendment. The people
must be given full opportunity to
debate the issues involved before
they take the momentous step Of
changing the charter Of their
freedom.
This charter-our Constitution
has served us well. 1t served our
fathers well.
We have only to look abroad to
see that in many countries the
charter Of freedom is no more.
Let us not forget this. In many
countries of this world today the
people no longer have the freedom
to sing in open worship of the
faith of their fathers. They gather
in hidden places. and while they

prolonged unemployment and de-
layed recovery.
Economic Planning Brings
Loss Of Economic Freedom.
But there is a lot more to 1t
than this. National planning forces
the Government to reach far be-
yond the field Of business. It can
not allow its plans to be disrupted
by unsympathetic citizens or by .
critical press. The Government
must force the non -conformer into
line. Therefore, 1t has to pile
regulation upon regulation and
order upon order.
The price of economic planning
Is the loss of economic freedom.
And economic freedom and per-
sonal liberty 60 hand in hand.
Remember the threat to our
economic freedom in the first two
years of this administration. Re-
member how step followed step
until finally it was made a crime,
punishable by fine or imprison-
ment, to grow potatoes, to sell po-
tatoes, even to buy potatoes, un-
less they came within a quota
fixed by Washington. And re-
member that threat was killed be-
cause the justices of the Supreme
Court respected their oath Of office.
Now any administration that at
tempts to run the daily lives Of
its people, to make their business
decisions to supervise their farms,
is working on the theory that it is
far wiser than its people. But the
present administration goes be-
yond this. 1t apparently believes
that with the concentration of
power in Washington, came a con-
centration of intelligence.
Government Did Not
Build Great Auto Industry.
But when look around and see
the automobiles on our roads
sometimes suspect that right here
in Detroit there are few brains
tucked away tnat somehow have
escaped the notice of Washington.
I can remember when there was no

power was given up. In other
words, the concentration Of power
in the hands of the President
was not question of temporary
emergency. 1t was question Of
permanent National policy. In my
opinion the emergency of 1888
was mere excuse.
Upon this, it seems to me the
evidence is unmistakable. AS viewed
by this administration, the unfav-
orable decisions of the Supreme
Court we're mere annoying set
backs. They made no visible
change in the drive for a stronger
and stronger central Government
under a more and more powerful
Chief Executive.
If there has been a change of
policy-it Is time the American
people were taken into the conf
dence of the Administrator and
informed of its plans. Does the
Administration plan to re-enact
the N. r. A.? Does it intend to
return to the control of food prod
ucts by Washington? If 1t does
one, it must do the other. II we
have an N. r. A. we must have an
A. A. A. If we have an A. A. A. we
must have an N. R. A. No nation
can continue half regimented and
half free. Which course does this
Administration propose to follow?
There is only one man who can
answer this question, and that man
is the candidate for reelection to
the presidency.
Economic Planning
Is Blow to Individual Effort.
National economic planning-the
term used by this Administration
to describe its policy-violates the
basic ideals of the American sys-
TEN. 1t starts on the assumption
that the people are not capable Of
looking after their own affairs. 1t
says that Americas greatness was
just an accident. This Is not true.
1t Is a libel on our people. From
the day our Nation was founded We
have worked and saved and sac.
riflced for our greatness.
Now this Administration would
put on an end to individual effort.
1t has concluded that America must
have a national economic plan.
And without giving the people any
choice In the matter. it has at
tempted to force such a plan upon
our Nation.

DEADLY WEAPON
 FOR NEXT STRIFE

Paris, Dec. 21. CUP)-The deadli- est military weapon invented since the World War-an aerial mine lowed on a cable by an airplane-- is being developed in secret by two European governments, it was dis closed in authoritative circles today.
 It was learned the Russian gov ernment is negtiating to obtain use of the invention. The weapon is de- signed to defend great cities from air attacks but can be used as an offensive weapon.
 Specially equipped planes will rise at the approach of attacking squad rons. Once in the air, the mines would be lowered by means of an electric winch. Flying over the at tacking squadron, the defending air. plane would drag the mines into them. Thus, defending airplanes could quickly lower screef. of aerial mines.
 As an offensive weapon, the aerial mine can be lowed into building, bridge, railroad or other target. The quantity of high explosives in each mine would destroy it's target on im- pact.

LINDBERCHS ARE
 ENJOYING LIFE

Englewood, N. J., Dec. 21.-UP)- Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh are happy in England, friends said today, recalling their departure from the United States just one year ago.
 Lindbergh, his wife and young son, Jon, sailed aboard a slow freighter Dec. 2l, 1895. They observed Christ mas at sea.
 The famous flyer, 1t was explained, left this country to carry on re- search abroad for Pan American Air. ways and to get away from the re- percussions resulting from the kid- naping and murder of his first child, Charles, Jr.. for which Bruno Rich ard Hauptmann was executed n Trenton state prison.
 The Lindberghs established resi- dence in Wales in the home of Aub- rey Neill Morgan, whose wife. the late Elizabeth Morrow Morgan, was sister of Mrs. Lindbergh. Later they rented the house in Kent. England, where they are now living.
 Haup:mann was put to death last April. his conviction resulted in q flow Of threatening letters to the Lindbergh hUne. and the flyer feared for the safety Of his second son. He told friends he felt that Jon would be safer In England"

Shanghai, Dec. 21-(UP)-Nego- tiation of final terms for release of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek China's strong man, by Marshal Change Hseuh-Liang was believed near today after days of confusion
 The position seemed to be that the young marshal was eager to get rid of his distinguished victim but was afraid to do so until he had re- ceived satisfactory guarantees for his own personal safety from gov- ernment reprisals.
 T. V. Soong, former finance min- ister and brother-in-law of the gen. eralissimo, returned to Nanking by airplane today from Sian-Fu, where the Generalissimo is held, after tele- graphing the government en route that negotiations were progressing
 Suspends Campaign
 Reliable information was received that the government had suspended it's campaign against the young marshal pending the result of the "finap negotiations.
 Before the reported suspension government airplanes bombarded the suburbs of Sian-Fu and bombed the young marshal's men in neigh boring towns as a warning. The government planes destroyed rail- road station and an ammunition dump, 1t was reported.
 ". L. Donald, Australian, who fol many years was financial adviser tc the young marshal, returned tC Nanking with T. V. Soong. Donald was the first to go to Sian-Fu tc try to arrange for the generalis- simo's release.
