Road Back and Saratoga
EnterSecOnd Week OfRunS
Remarque Novel Sottened in
Its Narrative of Soldiers
Return.
BY JAY CARMODX.

1NHAT war goes on being kind
Of hell, sometimes an even
i more excruciating one, long
after the last shell has
screamed It's death call is the thesis
of 1.-THE Road Back" which entered
its second week at Keith's yester-
day, 1t is based upon Erick
Remaroue's book Of the same name
and although it is not a literal tran
scription, 1t has moments Of the same
snarling disillusionment.
Not all of the film is cast in this
mood, however. 1t Is the major weak
ness Of the picture that in one breath
1t agrees with Remarque (and
6herman) and in the next there are
strong implications that conflict is
amusing. The emphasis upon comedy
Is likely to be disconcerting to those
familiar with the German authors
work. Others undoubtedly will take
1t In their stride, willing to accept
Universal's story as an effective substi-
tute for its more gloomy predecessor.
The film essays to narrate the dltfl-
Guilty of soldiers setting their feet in
the paths of peace after the slaughter
ends. They want only normalcy-
the right to live, love, work and
forget. And they have been untitled
for living, loving, working or for
getting. Neither the Nation for which
they fought nor their loved ones
can do anything to help them. Re-
turned soldiers are an alien group in
an unsympathetic world.
Under the strain, one of them be-
comes murderer, another goes in
sane, others join the revolution against
established order. Peace, it seems, is
. kind of party at which bad time
Is had by all.
Universal has cast THE Road Back"
with varying degrees of success. John
King is satisfactory idealistic Ernst;
Richard Cromwell does we'll with the
part Of the embittered killer, Ludwig
Slim Summerville and Andy Devine
handle the comedy effectively. We
did not like Barbara Read as Lucy,
the girl whose duplicity put murder
IN the heart of Ludwig The part
looked somewhat too old for one of
Miss Reads tender, unsophisticated
years.
Director James Whale, who makes all
the camera translations of Remarque,
It seems, has seen to it once more
that the photography is superlatively
fine.

The clearness Of the one issue in
which there Is . paramount public
interest-the issue Of trespass-is
clouded by the length and detail of
the application which General Motors
has made for an Injunction. Doubtless
the General Motors officials and
lawyers knew best what Is called for.
But their application Is . sprawling.
omnium gathering Of many kinds of
complaint and many reasons for in
junction. They recite that the strikers
use automobile seats and cushions for
sleeping. thus wearing, discoloring
and otherwise rendering the same un-
suitable for Use In new automobiles. +"
They recite that since the factory was
not built for housekeeping, strikers
are creating unsanitary conditions
They recite that most Of the strike
leaders come from outside the State.
The application for Injunction, &C.
cording to newspaper accounts, in
cludes . request that the court pro-
hibit "picketing." Picketing. within
limits, has long been an accepted fea-
ture Of strikes, not outlawed by
courts. A request for prohibition of
picketing injected in the same plea
with a request for Injunction against
trespass, weakens the latter. Worst of
all, 1t makes the fundamental issue
less clear to the public.

ton. Tenn. Part of the essence Of the
dignity Of Mondays event at Flint
lies in the spectacle Of an ordinary
American court in a typical American
community passing on a question of
great national Importance Indee'i
the question Is Of more than national
interest. 1t has bearing on the con-
troversy between conflicting concep-
tions of society.
Many Side Issues.
For understanding OF the funda-
mental issue, 1t Is desirable to trim
away all aspects Of the hearing and
Of the strike, except one. Whether
hours in General Motors plants should
be shorter Is not here material.
Whether pay should be higher is i'm
material. Whether the assembly line"
in automobile factories moves so fast
as to put excessive strain on workers
Is immaterial. Many other questions,
as to which much is to be said for the
labor side. are not here material. To
the principle Of collective bargaining
there is almost universal assent in
America; the platforms Of both po-
litical parties last Summer Endorsed
that principle. Whether or not Gen.
eral Motors in the present case Is re-
sisting collective bargaining" Is i'm
material here. All these are ordinary
issues familiar in any strike. All these,
in the present care, are matters for
negotiation and decision. But they
are issues in wholly different cate
CORY from the fundamental one.
The fundamental issue can be put
in the form Of two questions. Are the
"sit-downers" trespassers on private
property? If they are trespassers, will
the courts and agencies Of law en-
forcement eject them? The first
question Is hardly q question at all.
Hardly any partisan Of the strikers
denies that the "sit-downers" in this
strike are trespassers. The real ques-
ton Is whether the courts and law
enforcement agencies will remove
them.
May Be Revolutionary Change.
II the courts should hold the sit
down type of strike to be legitimate;
or If at any point in the chain OF
law and enforcement there is refusal
t. eject the sit-downers: or If the sit
downers successfully resis' attempts
at election; In short, II this sit-down
strike is successful in law or in fact
