 Hollywood Things, people and stun: A young and very obscure actress named Something or -other McFarland was poised on the edge of the set of Mountain Music" the other day waiting for her entrance cue. Her job was to walk across the set, nodding and smiling en route Tn greeting to a couple of other girl extras who were to be Strolling In the opposite direction.
 The scene started and the prin- cipals in the foreground were speaking their lines. Miss McFar- land was just about to begin her promenade when handsome young male extra. standing beside her, gave a friendly pinch on the arm. She turned on him in fury and hissed, so loudly that it spoiled the scene: You've ruined my mood!"

 When Errol Flynn returned un- scathed from the wars, Director Michael Curtiz saw him first and decided it was a fine opportunity to torture the big boss, Jack Warner. So Flynn was hurried to the make up department, where horrid red scar was fashioned on his right cheek in spirit gum. Also a black patch was put over his right eye.
 Curtiz then assumed his glo0miest expression and went to see Jack

The question was put with hui

She hesitated, walked over to

sat down.

lifting her hand in his. It was a
slim, patrician hand.

Don't you think the good Creator
has been very lavish with his gifts
to you, my dear? I mean, the
gifts of beauty, charm, intelli-
gences. I'm wondering - don't
think me prudish-if you ever
looked upon them as a kind Of

"A-trust?" Her lips fell apart.
Sitting his impulse to kiss her
again and again, he nodded seri-
ously. Gifts that you could use
wisely. AS a power, my child, for
good"
She was amazed.
Am I doing anything wrong?"
she asked quickly, so naturally,
that he was sure her response
must be real.
Or was it just part Of her
subtlety?-he wondered.
HE'S PERPLEXED
He tried to harden his heart,
but could not.

You wouldn't want me to give it

Did he mean marriage?-Toni
wondered. Was he jealous of the
admiration she attracted? She
waited, tense, expectant.
Won't you explain?"
"I-can't. I just want you to
get away from it all"
You mean you don't like my
appearing in public?"
1T isn't that"
Her heart sank.
Then what?"
A long pause. He was still hold
ing her hand, but not so tightly.
Suddenly he let go of it and said
sharply: Surely you don't take
me for fool! You know what I

face. Because she had let him kiss

Realizing that England is intensely
worried by the Italian menace, it
appears to Hitler that the time Is
ripe to wangle concessions from Lon

time alone can tell, but it may al
most be taken for granted that Eng

Whether, as has been suggested,
England may consent to open negotia-
tions on the colonial problem is an
other question. British opinion is
very solidly against any retrocession
to Germany of colonies under British
mandate, and there certainly would
be howls of protest if any negotiations
to that effect became public.
But there is nothing to prevent
discussing the matter privately. 1t
might even be excellent tactics to do
so, as nothing could be more bene-
fetal to England than keeping Ger
many's hopes alive throughout the
present Winter and thus preventing
the Italo- German alliance from pro-
ducing its full fruits.

demonstrated his talents as a time

knots, the world may have the spec
tacle of another British diplomatic

T THE recent 1nter-Amerlcan
~ Aviation Conference, held at
~ Lima, Peru, it was shown once
more that regional interna-
tionalism and universalism need not
always be incompatible.
Ever since the flrst attempt at the
establishment of regime of law for
the air, the Paris Convention of 1919
there had been a difference Of opin-
ion among the governments of the
American republics as to the method
10 be preferred in the development and
unification of their air legislations
Some countries favored worldwide
agreements, similar to the Paris con-
vention-modified by the 1922 and
1923 protocols and thoroughly revised
and redrafted in 1929-to which many
of the nations on this side of the At
lantic have not yet adhered.
Regional Accords.
Other countries. however, believed
that in setting up treaty agreements
and other regulations regarding COM
mercial aviation it was better to do
that by means of regional accords,
along the lines of the Havana Pam
American Convention Of 1928.
Geographic. economic and even po-
litical reasons were advanced by the
advocates of both tendencies at the
Lima Conference. but the impasse was
broken by one of the Peruvian dele
gates, when. opposing motion that
the conference go on record in favor
of world legislation" he stated that
there was no need whatever for such
q pronouncement; that, of course, the
conference was in favor of world legis-
lation, as was any one interested in
the matter, but that, until that desir-
able and ultimate goal could be at
tanned, nothing should prevent the
American republics from agreeing, at
least, on regional accord which may,
later, be the basis of their Joint ad-
herence to the more inclusive world
wide legislation.
Commission Created.
The Lima Conference finally decided
that the countries of the Western
Hemisphere, while endeavoring to
keep as close as possible within the
general principles of the Paris Con-
vention, should go ahead with their
efforts to unity their own air regula-
tions. To that effect, it created a
permanent commission for the codi-
f1cation of inter-American aviation
law. which is to meet soon at Bogota,
Colombia.
The conference also approved a
long series of resolutions concerning

the airmail service, rapid, immediate,
greatly facilitates commercial trans
actions. financial arrangements and
all business operations in general.
Delay in Transportation.
United States exporters. previous to
the Inauguration Of airmail to Latin
America, had to struggle with the
lack of facilities for the rapid con-
veying to South American markets OF
samples, parts and other articles
which were urgently needed to over
come European competition. The
transportation of small packages con-
tanning samples required the same
length of time as that Of 50-ton
locomotive, the delivery of which in
two days or in two months was inn
material.
The quickest steamship service to
Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, for
instance, took from IL to II days. and
those to other important southern
commercial centers from 20 to Is days.
To this had to be added the time en-
ployed in the identification of Gus
.om documents. port formalities and
the usual delays caused by unfavor-
able sailing weather conditions.
The suppression of all these bar
riers and the great saving of time
which it represents is not the only
accomplishment of inter- American
aerial communicating. Even more
important, and certainly more far
reaching than these immediate mate
rial advantages. are the political bene-
fits which it will bring in the way OF
closer personal contacts. Understand
ing among nations grows out of the
knowledge which they have OF one
another. And among the most ap-
propriate ways of developing that
knowledge is the promotion OF quicker
means of communication. Mutual
knowledge between people of differ
ent origin and different points of view
should increase in proportion to the
shortening of the distance separating
them.
Growth of Aviation.
The growth Of aviation in Latin
America has not been confined, how
ever to the establishment of inter-
national airways. The progress Of
domestic aviation in nearly every one
CT the Latin American republics has
been equally impressive in the years
in which the pan-American air sys-
tenn was being built. In spite OF the
severe economic depression through
which all of them went since 1929
the Latin American countries have
witnessed great strides in their own
commercial aeronautics. Their ma
tional lines are operating today more
than $4,000 miles of airways.
The result of this unprecedented
air development is that. having thus
overcome the otherwise insurmount-
able barriers of high mountain ranges
and vast areas of uncharted land, the
Latin Americans have at last begun
to break down their disintegrated ma
tional economies, the greatest handi-
cap to their material progress in the
past. The fruits which they already
are reaping. both internally in their
domestic prosperity and externally in
their contacts with those of their
neighbors who also are growing COM
mercial wings, would be sufficient
demonstration that they have not
taken to the air in vain.

Obviously, with lines thus extended
TO the Red Sea on the one hand and
to the Iberian Peninsula on the other,
Italy is in a decidedly weakened
condition at home, from the mill
tary point of view. There can be no
question now of mounting guard on
the Brenner" against a possible Ger
man blow against Austria. as was the
case three years ago, at the time of
the assassination of Premier Dollfuss.
No wonder, then, that Germany
considers the present a favorable time
for pressing her own claims in Lon
don. All danger of Italian resistance,
which has been Germany's chief
dread seems to be eliminated, not be-
cause of the "Rome-Berlin axis" be-
cause Mussolini has never assented
to the 'anschluss," but simply be-
cause Italy is too much occupied
elsewhere.
The German press for many months
has been harping on favorite theme.
namely that England has no vital
reason to protect either Austria or
Csechoslovakia. A part of the British
press has echoed these opinions,
affecting to believe that it is no
concern of Erfgland's whether Prague
and Vienna are independent capitals
or German satrapies
AS far as Austria is concerned,
they may be right. 1t probably would
not irk London very much if Hitler
grabbed Austria, as Italy would then
be compelled to draw in her lines
and prepare for an eventual German
drive toward Trieste. The present
Mediterranean policy of Italy, which
is giving London so much concern,
would have to be abandoned
But Czechoslovakia is an entirely
different question. The conquest OF
Austria by Germany would make nc
essential difference in the existing
strategical position in Europe. save
as it would reduce Italy to purely
defensive position. But if Germany
should overrun CZechoslovakia, the
last barrier to the realization of g
mighty 'mittel Europa" would be
broken, for it is Czechoslovakia alone
that prevents the consummation oi
that age-old German dream.
