Is it to focus energy and public atten-
ton upon three or four matters OF
major importance and let the rest 60
over to another time.
Most Important Matters.
OF the matters that are Of tran
scending importance to the wellbeing
and protection of the American peo-
pies today the following are worthy
Of particular emphasis:
PRONUNCIATION of continental. pam
American neutrality policy and law,
and of a cooperative Monroe Doc
trine, that will interdict war and
the war-trade and prevent the spread
of the war-system to the Western
Hemisphere;
Increase Of eAMercial and cultural
rcIprociry, particularly through the
joint promotion of the great pam
American highway; and the abolish
ment or reduction of tariffs.
Establishment Of q stabilized inter-
national monetary unit, if not an
actual pan-American currency, jointly
guaranteed;
The gradual realization of inter-
American solidarity and an economic
customs-union between contiguous
American republics, was originally pro-
posed by Secretary Of State James g.
Blaine at the first Pan-American Con-
gress in Washington, in 1890. Blaine
was a distinguished Republican.
If any real measure Of agreement
and action were realized concerning
these, it would be enough to make the
coming Buenos Aires Conference the
most significant In postwar history.
And We repeat that the establishment Of
an Inter-American Congress meeting
periodically for the discussion and
development of pan-American polit-
ical and economic policy is much
greater object than the establishment
of an American Court of JUS
tice for the settlement of "justicia-
BILE" controversies. 1t is the non-jus-
ticiable controversies from which wars
are born: and these are beyond the
competence of courts. For the great
problem Of peace is nothing less than
the problem of poverty and of social
justice. between unequal nations, as
between men. -sssa60

ever to win the award of the Screen
Writer'S Guild twice in succession.
He was given the coveted trophy
for his work as Joe Wilson in Fury - and
then he got it second time for his fine
characterization of Father Tim Mullin. the
priest in San Francisco"
Spencer Tracy is Irish on his fathers side;
on his mothers he is Yankee. His mother is
direct descendant of the founder of Brown
University One aunt is nun.
Spencer was born in Milwaukee. His
parents were in modest circumstances. Dur
ing his third year in high school he joined the
United States Navy and fought the war on
this side"
After being mustered out, he finished high
school and then attended Northwestern
Military Academy, where soon became
glad didn't join the infantry"
From there he went to Ripon College.
Soon he was bitten by the theatrical bug"
- and did not recover. He decided to study
to be an actor, and before long was on his
way to an academy of dramatic art in New
York. Pat O'Brien, neighbor boy, had pre-
ceded him.
After several months in the academy, Pat
said to Spencer: Maybe shouldn't tell you
this s-bu heard from home today. They
told me to keep it quiet - your father lost
almost everything, but they won't tell you.
think it's best to let you know
A plan was hit upon. Spencer withdrew
from the school. Part of his tuition fee was
refunded, and he sent it to his father with a
glowing letter of his success.
Within a month he was given part at

you know what mean." He pointed at
the theater. I'm working dress suit and all,
in this super production.
That night Mrs. Cornelius Muldowney
heard of Patrick's good fortune. She ad-
vanced fifteen dollars. Her roomers must eat.
At the end of the seven days commotion
was heard on the street.
Mrs. Muldowney rushed outside with
Spencer.
Pat stepped out of small automobile.
Before Mrs. Muldowney or Spencer could
speak. Pat said, "A dandy. eh? Only a hum
dred and twenty down - here's your fifteen,
Mrs. Muldowney. Everything's okay now"
When they were alone Spencer asked,
How much you got left?"

GETTING TO

SIS a week. His letters home were full of
high hopes for the future. Then the show
closed.
He got job with the White Plains Stock
Company Of Leonard Wood, Jr.
After some months he was given a role
in the Royal Fandango" company of Ethel
Barrymore. One caustic critic said he acted
like fellow picked up by the property man.
He next played stock" in Pittsburgh,
Brooklyn and Grand Rapids.
After these wanderings he returned to New
York and engaged room with Pat O'Brien.
1.-The landlady was Mrs. Cornelius Null
downey - and her heart was as big as all
outdoors"
The two soldiers of impecunious fortune
pooled their resources. There was one dress
suit between them - and sixty dollars. They
were the same size.
One evening, after three weeks of waiting,
Spencer received hurry call for a stage en-
gagement as "a man about town." He would
appear in dress suit.
He hurried to the closet. Pat had the suit
But where was Pat? He went to all the
places in New York where Mr.. O'Brien
dallied. No one had seen Patrick.
Disconsolate, he wandered to the theater
where he had lost his big chance. Lingering
near the stage door. he heard familiar voice.
Turning, he saw Patrick O'Brien, resplendent
in the dress suit.

Robert Emmett nor John Brown were more
impressive than the vehement and vital
Tracy while the state collected the tawdry
debt of death.
A fearful silence came over the audience.
It was broken with the piercing words of.
"Thataboy, Spencew from Pat O'Brien.
Unashamed of her wet eyes. Mrs. Muldow-
ney pointed to the stage: Its not the smoke
that brought the tears - it's that bye"
John Ford brought Spencer Tracy to
Hollywood. The rest is one of the most vivid
pages in the book of the films. Spencer Tracy
is not only one of the great actors of the
cinema - he is the most human, sincere and
popular fellow in the celluloid town.

But whatn we do for food?"

What do you mean by that last crack?"

The months passed slowly, like terribly
wounded soldiers in a seemingly useless battle.
Mrs. Muldowney did not lose faith. "Ye're

"There'snot enough rope, laughed Spencer.

more promise of employment than
a thousand wildcat schemes. The
return of fruitful productivity in
the United States will be directly
