chest budget, that budget should be
divided into the two following basic
categories Of activity: (a) Those ac-
tivities which are for the relief Of
human suffering, misery and destitu-
ton. Included in this group are hos
pitfalls, free clinics, milk funds, day
nurseries, orphan asylums, the Red
Cross, family relief and welfare. All
other activities would be included in
Ib) recreational, character building
and miscellaneous services.
Full Support Justified.
'All activities listed under (a)
Justify full degree Of support by en-
ployers and accordingly should be
given a weighing Of 100 per cent.
Those activities listed under (b) war
rant varying degrees of support on the
part OF employers, and should be given
. weishting Of from 20 per cent to
100 per cent, depending upon the ap-
praisal by each employer Of the i'm
portance to him Of the several activ-
tiles included therein.
In deciding upon the specific
weighing which the employer should
assign to those activities in category
(b), there is need Of the exercise of
judgment on the part of those familiar
with the local conditions"
Discussing the plan, Brown said:
IF the foregoing method Of ap-
proach is acceptable to the local spon-
sors of Community Chests, we ask that
they urge its adoption by the factory
employers in their communities. We
are satisfied that even though it may
have the effect of reducing the contri-
buttons Of some individual factories
compared to their previous contri-
buttons, this decrease should be more
than offset by increases from other
concerns. A reasonable and tangible
method of appraising corporate re-
eponsibilities could not fail greatly to
benefit the whole Chest movement by
placing It on q more satisfactory basis.
"Such q program, Of course. should
not be regarded as leading automatic
ally to the amount a corporation would
contribute. In the final analysis, the
rule Of reason must obtain, and since
contributions should be voluntary, they
must be determined upon in the light
of such considerations as each corpo-
ration itself regards as controlling" !"
In presenting his proposal to the
general session, Brown indicted too
widespread dependence on publicly
administered relief.
1T has been argued" he said, "thst
an employer should accept no obliga-
ton for any larger share Of these
social costs Of the local community
than may be imposed upon him
through taxation. This argument Is
superficial.

Months Given to Details
Of Film in League Crisis

EVENTUALLY the English films
were delivered to March Of Times
studios in New York, where they were
viewed by the editors and tentatively
cut.
Then Adds Ababa fell The League
tottered from this latest huninating
defeat and the question Of the Leagues
and England's future policy was front
page news.
March of Times League films were
already being edited in New York.
Scenes of the Leagues history and
the Ethiopian conquest were assem-
bled and several scenes of Adds Aba
ba's fall were prepared.
Within week after MuSSolini an
nounced the triumphant close Of his
campaign, March of Time was on the
screens of United States theateTs
with a full picture of the worlds most
important front-page Story-of what
had happened and of what would hap
pen to the League and what England's
policy would be in directing this plan.
simultaneously, in London, the
board of censors was sitting down to
view March of Times Interpretation
of the importance of England's League
of Nations Union and of the League
itself, for a print of the film had been
sent of to England on the first re-
turn trip of the giant Hindenburg
for immediate release to March OF
Times TOO English theaters.
Curiously enough, while England
still is the world leader in holding out
for sanctions, while she still bases her
policy indirectly on the result Of the
great League Union vote, the censor
carefully eliminated from the film all
references to the governments past
and present attitude toward Italy anC
the League.
Out went the well-known fact that
the British Government had known OF
MuSsolini'S plans; in stayed the fact
that MusSolini had had an under
standing with Frances Laval regard
ing the Ethiopian adventure. Out went
the fact that the Peace vote sent
BritainS Cabinet into consultation,
out went British newspaper headlines
carrying the Cabinets direct warning
to MuSsolini. Out went pictures of
the ships and troops England sent
to the Mediterranean to back up sane
tions anu pn be ready for stronger ac-
ton; out went a reference to con-
Sideration of closing the Suez canal.
WHEN the censors' cuts became
known to the League Union, into
executive session went Lord Cecil and
his associates. The March of Time,
as censored, gives the impression that
the Peace Ballot taken by the League
Of Nations Union had no effect on
England's policy toward the League
and Mussolini," protested Lord Cecil
and quoted H. G. Wells, who said re-
Gently, I'VE cannot allow our affairs
to be ruled by gang of mystery men"
Today English moVie-goeS are see
ing the League Of Nations episode.
But when they see it, despite the fact
that most of it was taken In their
country, that it pictures the policy of
their government, many pertinent
observation based on Britain's past
and present policy will have been elm
mated by board whose word to Eng
land is law.

THE national parks are noted for
many remarkable features,
some beautiful, some awe-in-
Il spring, some fantastic, but
among the initiate there is nothing
that quite equals the "90-day Won
ders." Each Summer they bur-
geon anew and when snow flies are
again relegated to the status Of the
"Lost Chord"-merely haunting
memory that the old-timers in their
Winter uniforms discuss when two
or three gather around the fire IN
one of the "snowshoe" cabins. There,
amid chuckles, the men in forest green
relate the anecdoes Of the season
Just ended and speculate mildly as
to future crops.
This year Washington Is contribut-
ing some S out Of the total of 248 who
will be found scattered throughout
the country from sea-rimmed Ar
cadia in Maine to desert-bound Carls-
bad Caverns in the Southwest.
Among their friends and families they
are known as personable young men,
with one exception-that one being
a girl, the only girl, in fact, to serve
at the present time with the park
ranger force. She Is Miss Virginia
Sutton, daughter of Lloyd Sutton, pat
ent attorney, who lives at 560l West
ern avenue. This will be her second
Summer at Mesa Verde, where, be-
cause she holds the degree of master
of arts in archaeology from the Uni
versity of Chicago. she is a "so-day
wonder" on the educational ranger
force.
Her job is to take visitors to the
prehistoric ruins in the park and to
explain their curious story. Later on
she hopes to take the examination for
junior park naturalist, even though
she realizes her chances for break
ing into so completely masculine a
service are slim.
The other four members of the
quintet leaving the Capital within the
next week are s. B. Hill. Henry Lee
Clarke, William D. Foote and Earl
c. Hackworth. They will 60 to posts
in Arcadia, Glacier and Mount Raj

OFFICIALLY, these "sO-day Won
~ ders" are known as seasonal
rangers. They come from widely
scattered States and colleges and are
chosen by the superintendent of the
parks to which they are assigned.
There are no set requirements for
the posts they I'LL except that they
be physically strong, have attractive
personalities and be able to handle
the public with poise and intelligence.
Subject to the supervision of the
permanent ranger force, they are
given many and varied jobs to do.
