Rebuild Prosperity Upon
Constitutional Precepts

To the Editor Of The Star:
Amid the confusion Of conflicting
theories and problems, and the issues
of the day, there stands out clearly one
fact of fundamental Importance to all
good Americans: i.e., that the ConStitu-
ton of the United States was written in
the spirit Of the square deal, in the
spirit Of the Golden Rule, in the law Of
God and good, and its proper interpre-
tation must, therefore, rest upon q
realization Of this sublime truth.
People governed by the Golden Rule
will express the best that is in them.
More and more has this truth impressed
itself upon our leading business men
and organizations, and they are becom-
ing increasingly active in this awaken
ing transformation. A great many Of
our workers, and many others not 90
fortunate, feel the need Of this change,
perhaps more than is known by those in
better circumstances.
In this day Of changing thought and
higher concepts the appeal Of the Con-
stitution ito promote the general well
fare" and Ito insure domestic tram
quillity" should be grasped in all its
wisdom.
How important, then, that all our
corporations, both great and small, unite
in an effort for better and more whole
some America, to carry out and make
good the ideas Of its founders, that all
Americans share in deserving degree Of
the abundance Of the good things of life.
Of what good Is all our wealth and vast
riches, unless we advance with spiritual
understanding, to higher and more
harmonious plane OF thought and
action?
Today we have opportunity. Today
we can choose which way. Let us then
choose joyfully, and work together for
a newer business America, built more
firmly upon the rock Of our Constitu-

"A Diplomatic Offensive.

Many developments indicate that the
next major problem to engross Europe's
attention, still distracted by turmoil in
Spain, will be Germany's demand for
colonies. Herr Won Ribbentrop, Hitler's
ambassador, has just returned to London
after protracted absence in his own
country. The British government is
confident that the envoys resumption of
his post is the prelude to a systematic
campaign to bring about the recession,
in part or in whole, of Germany's old
domain in Africa, comprising mainly ter
ritory in British possession under
League mandates. It was only ten days
ago that Chancellor Hitler told his
Reichstag that colonial restoration re-
mains cardinal feature of the Na1
program. Won Ribbentrops arrival in
London synchronized with that warning.
1t was the same astute diplomat who
negotiated with Britain treaty assign
ing Germany, in violation of the Ver-
sailles embargo, naval strength equal
to one-third of the British fleet London
supposedly made this concession in the
hope of minimizing the Nazi inequality
complex. The result was the precise
opposite. German armaments on land
and sea and in the air since then have
been expanded on scale that compelled
Britain, in self-defense, to plunge into
the greatest peacetime rearmament
scheme in her history-a project that is
taxing her productive capacity and
financial resources to the limit.
Exactly how Won Ribbentrop will pro-
ceed to lay Germany's claims before a
reluctant British government and public
has yet to be disclosed. He may offer
cessation of rearmament in exchange for
colonies, whereby Britain would find 1t
possible to reduce the burden of prepara-
tions to resist the threat from the North
Sea. The British contend that only the
League can alter the mandate system,
whereby German colonies were parceled
out among the allies, but the Nazis know
that British wishes on this score would
prevail almost automatically at Geneva.
Colonies may not be all that Ambas-
sador Won Ribbentrop has up his sleeve.
Hitler Graves to undermine the Franco
Russian alliance. He may seek to
barter with London to bring pressure to
bear on Paris, in order to harmonic the
Soviet entente with new Locarno
agreement. All that is certain is that
Won Ribbentrop has embarked upon a
diplomatic offensive of far-reaching pur-
pose. The Nazis are conscious of British
anxiety for peace. They are ready to
exploit it to the uttermost. Whether the
result of brow-beating negotiation will
be colonies or credits for raw materials
and foodstuffs is the futures secret.
With the Reich in position to threaten
Europe with war. Hitler may be de-
pended upon to attempt to drive stiff
bargain at London. He is not minded

that the Nays air force, like the sur

There comes the blizzard. clustering. rude,
Breaking the silence Of the night
BY trumpeting its furious feud.
It drives before 1t binding snow
That freezes on the hardened ground;
It bends the elms and poplars low,
Tossing their barren boughs around,
Breaking them with q mighty blow.
It's quest to plunder, to maraud,
To tear all fragile things to shreds--
God pity those who roam abroad
Facing the blast with lowered heads

Inevitable Apologies.
A foolish word we sometimes say,
Intending one that's wise.

We must apologize.
For where is he, Of common clay

Who does not wake to find, some day,
He must apologize.

We think to win prize
And then discover that we may
Need to apologizel
And so we hold our pride at bay,
For any one who tries
In his remarks to get too gay

DIRECTORS IN MOVIE COLONY

By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Nov. IT. - Strange it may be, but the person most vitally concerned in a movie love scene is neither of the prin- cipals but the director.
 Your stars, unless they're very new at the business, may be quite blase about exchanging osculations and embraces for the camera, but your director never is His realiza- ton of thei importance of sincere and beautiful love scenes to his pie ture makes him, for the time, a Lothario without portfolio He knows lSo thoroughly the mood he wants that you are sure, watching his side line excitement, he could give a better performance than his stars

 Sometimes he does, too = better and funnier. That is when he un- |dertakes to show them how" Ar chic Mayo frequently acts out scenes to demonstrate the effects he wants. Archie weighs around POO, unless he's reduced some more. He did not take Gary Cooper's place with Si- grid Curie in the Marco Polo" re- hearsals, but he would recite the love lines to himself, and the re- plies, emphasizing the desired in- Election. Archie thinks infection is the big thing in movie love passages.
 Michael Huritz, excitable Hun garian, does not "act out" movie romantics. He comments, criticizes, suggests. That kiss-she would not melt butter. Don't hold her like she was a hot potato. Crush her. Maybe you break a rib. That is all right if we get a good scene"

 Others Believe in Coaxing
 Busby Berkeley belongs to the lact-it-out school. He acts it out in rehearsals, then during the take" | he stands behind the camera, go- ing through the motions while his players perform before the lens.
 Irving Cummings, once an actor himself, uses the soft voice method, and beams benignly as he watches the scene, step by step You can almost hear him as he mentally reads the lines. Mervyn LeRcy's that way, too.
 Ernst Lubitsch lets out the actor in him occasionally. Its funniest when he emotes through a love scene with his cigar in his mouth to demonstrate an infection, mat ter of timing, movement of the head or arm he wants.
 Gigantic William Dieterle -9 in achievement as in stature, what with 'Zola' behind him-gets excited.
