Evergreen film which brings
a new star to the screen, is being
shown at the Coliseum Theatre to-
night. Jessie Mathews ability to
excel in singing and dancing as
well as acting prompted producers
to cast her in this ambitious vehicle.
Lavish expenditure. has been made
in the producing Of the film, but the
rise of this new star to fame war
rants all of the attention she is

the world-famed Radio City Music
Hall
Notwithstanding her steady rise
to stage realms, under the expert
guidance of that English producing
wizard, Charles B. Cochrane, Miss
Matthews entered the films quite
modestly and with some timidity.
She had seen some of the accepted
idols of the screen fall by the way
side with the advent of talking pic
lures. They had even returned to
the stage in shows in which she had
ceen appearing.

ECHAR A LA GALES.

The Spanish have a idiom, "Echar
la Gales 1t means, in English,
to put on the street, to put out
of the house.
Modern Mexico is the house built
by General Plutarco Elias Gales.
There seemed to be some cohnec-
ton between his name and the
idiom. The man he had set up
as his successor definitely had put
General Gales out of the house.
Once he was known as the
strong man. There was little left
Of the stolidity, the implacable de-
meanor of the former President of
Mexico when he reached a refuge
in the United States on Friday.
He was weary. He confessed him
self disillusioned.
No more, said General Plutarco
Elias Gales, exiled statesman of the
new Mexico, would he aspire to be
President of the strong State he
set up-and which proved itself
stronger than its maker.
Once a nod of his head meant a
dawn execution for a rebel Mexi-
can general. That was when Gales
was wiping out banditry in Mexico
and setting up modern State.
He was saved from the summary
fate he had dealt others, however.
Cardenas, "the lived one was
gracious, despite the denunciations
with which his former chief fav-
ored him.
With three followers the strong
man was placed a board plane,
shunted across the border.
His criticism of the present
Mexican Government was termed a
"subversive activity" That came
from Lazaro Cardenas, now Presi-
dent of Mexico.
To those in the United States
accustomed to hearing subversive
activity attributed to Communists
there was presented a spectacle of
the shoe being on the other foot.
Cardenas and his government are
definitely leftist. Their policies, es-
pecially their religious policies, have
been likened to those of Russia.
There is a definite collectivist
trend.
These, Gales said, were Commun-
istic.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Anthony Eden came into power
as British Foreign Secretary in the
current European crisis. This same
crisis threatens to sweep him out
of power unless he finds the solu-
ton for security of the continent
The youthful diplomat went into
office handicapped He had to ac-
cept the apparent mistakes of prev
ious policy If Britain had adopted
"a firmer stand against Italian ag-
erosion against Ethiopia, if Lon
don had not compromised with
Paris, things might have been diff
ferent. Perhaps, some observers
feel, Hitler might not have re-
militafized the Rhineland.
But this is only speculation. Ger
man troops are on the Rhine once
more. The crisis has been inten-
sified.
Hitler's protestations of peace re-
ceived the cold shoulder in Paris
His proposals for series of BIZ
lateral pacts of non-aggression
lacked, the French said, means
for effective control. They provided
no plan of collective security against
aggression, such as is contained
in the covenant of the League OF
Nations.
Specifically, France called atten-
ton to the absence of mention of
Russia in the Hitler peace pro-
posals. The French feel security
for all of Europe cannot be OBJ
tanned until Germany agrees to a
mona aggression pact with the Soviet
Union.
Under the Hitler proposals, the
bilateral pacts would continue for
Is years. Countering this, France
proposed 25-year scheme for peace
within the framework of the
ague, with collective action
against aggressors.
The French proposal calls for a

sanctions against Germany if Hit
Ter continued to move troops INTO
the Rhineland.
But Eden SHE'D away from such
q pledge. The door to Cancellation
Eden believes, is still wide open
and all methods must be utilized.
After a discordant session, the
Locsrno powers adjourned their
session. They threw the burden on
to Eden. They agreed to months
recess during which the British
Foreign Secretary will seek to draft
a security plan for all Europe, ac-
ceptable to all nations.
NO man has ever had more
difficult task.
If Eden fails, a powerful bloc
in his own party Cthe Conservative
threatens to Dust him. AT the basis
of this opposition is a desire Tor
closer cooperation with France
against the Third Reich.
Coinoident with the meeting OF
the Locarno powers, the League OF
Nations sought anew to end the
hostilities between Fascist Italy and
Ethiopia.
The Leagues Cancellation Com
mittee of Thirteen will seek to
bring together at Geneva the dele
gates of Italy and Ethiopia.
But with II Duces Fascist legions
advancing steadily into Halle Selas-
sizes empire, the outlook was not
bright. From all indications, the
Negus would have to retreat con-
siderable from his previous condi-
items for peace before Mussolinl
would listen.
And II Duce always has this
prime maneuver handy; he can re-
grain from participating in efforts
for European security if the League
pushes him too far.

This week brought further ac-
tivity from the newly-organized
Labor's partisan League.
The league is for the reelection
of Franklin D. Roosevelt. 1t is nom
partisan in the sense it seeks sup
port for this end from workers in
al political parties.
1t was organized by Major George
Il. Berry, the New Deals industrial
advisor and President of the Press

the. powerful United Mine Work

Closely linked with the '36 cam
paign is the adjournment of Con-
eress. The delay is irksome to
the Representatives and those Sen
ators up for reelection. They want
to get back home. If adjournment
is delayed until the last of May,
or the first days of June, the con-
ventions follow almost Immediately
The campaign for earlier adj
lournment was crystalized this week
by the return of the President from
his 20-day fishing cruise and va
cation. Like the Congressman, he
is DESTROYS of the earliest possible
adjournment, to clear the way for
his campaign for reelection.
The two principal Administration
measures pending in Congress are
the billion and half dollar relief
appropriations and the tax plan
with its innovating levy on I'M
distributed corporate profits
The Presidents lie d rship on
Capitol Hill seems to have increased
in recent weeks and an ultimate
Administration bill on both meas
ures is looked for; perhaps not
without some minor compromise.
The Rural Identification meas
ure, providing Federal loans up to
s410,000,000 over 10-year period
is near final passage. But the vast
housing program, calling for an
outlay of $800,000,000 in low-cost
housing over four-year period
and the ship subsidy legislation

The support of the press as we know
it today, in independent. non-parti'
san opinion, was uns3ught. Each
candidate rather aspired to control the

little attention, but whose supporters

The weekly Gazette was the pro-
ponent Of Crawford, but after the

key men in Congress to go on to the

ners with the thought that their advo-
cacy of Mrs. Adams or Mrs. Calhoun's
night at the Washington Theater's
productions would indicate their
espousal of the respective candidacy.
