breaking away from the Czech government and
attaching themselves to Berlin supervision. But,
to large extent, this sentiment has changed.
The Sudeten Germans still want freedom from
the Czechs, but now they are not as anxious as
they were to swap for the Nazis. Sudeten Ger
mans have realized that their present standard
of living is higher, better and superior to that
of Germans under the Nazi rule.
So, the Sudeten Germans would really like
autonomy if they could obtain such thing. But
the CzechS oppose this, for it removes a natural
defense line that they have against Germany.
The outlook is not one of war, but one Of
compromise

These possibilities have been obscured and re-
stricted by the radical tendencies and the capri
cious policies of the Administration. But we
should not lose sight of the fact that as an i'm

relieve the pressure toward state socialism.

Afraid To Go Ahead

TNHE truth of the matter is, with the economic
L conditions all over the world, with most OF
big business intimidated and afraid to go ahead
with most countries in the world bankrupt, unem
ployment has rolled up at such an appalling rate
that it is going to take unlimited amounts Of
money and almost superhuman courage to save
this country from revolution.
If the Senate had not voted for this recovery
bill and had not trusted the men in the key posi-
lions to spend it properly, we would have seen an
upheaval in this country that would, in all prob
ability, never be lived down.

Second Consideration

Second Confederation
MONEY is second consideration; the first and
NA foremost is to take care of the needy and
feed the starving, to give the unemployed occupa-
ton, and slowly but surely put faith, hope, and
courage back into the hearts of the thousands
and thousands who are down and out.
No, the housewife doesn't scatter her budget
through the members of her family, so why, in
goodness name, should the money be earmarked?
We have turned it over to the one man we hold
accountable for the success or failure of this coun
try; the man who gets the blame if things go
wrong the man who gets the cheers and credit
if things go right-the President of the United
States.

CHINESE DRAMA
PRESENTED HERE
Interesting Benefit Is Given
for War Stricken in
Orient.

The China OF old was dramatized
yesterday on the Rialto Theater stage
to help the war-torn China Of today.
Washington's Chinatown. residents
moved en- masse to the Ninth street
playhouse to see their countrymen
participate in five hours Of drama,
which. to the Occidental was weird
and fantastic, but to the 800 Orientals
scattered over the theater was real
and altogether human.
Musicians, dressed In ordinary West
ern fashion and saving on Chinese
string instruments, mingled on the
stage with actors clad In colorful
costumes, similar to those worn CEN
turtles ago In the Orient. Stage hands
wandered unconcerned across the
stage while a play was in progress
to adjust chair or offer an idle
actor q cup of tea.
Performances Never Lag.
The performances never Jagged.
When the sing-song dialogue died
down and one OF the principals ap-
peared to lose cue, the musicians
would saw their ever-humming in
struments more furiously and cover
up" until the action was resumed in
the proper tempo.
Now and then an entire scene or
two would be skipped by the actors,
but not to the knowledge of the
audence-nor even the producer at
times.
The cast of Is, representing the
Chinese Music Club OF New York,
was versatile. Any emergency was
met with ease. Men sometimes took
women'S parts. and vice versa. When
an actor failed to appear on stage as
the musicians played for his entry,
other members of the cast merely
would "Shhhh!" the players to indi-
cate their partner was having trouble
with a sash or headdress, and the
musicians would 60 into another
sing-song drone. leaving the unwritten
score for the hero's entrance until
everything was in readiness back
stage.
Stage Hands Watch Performance.
Actors on stage had no trouble
knowing what was going on back
stage-nor did the audience. Idle
principals and stage hands would
watch the progress of the production
from the wings in full view OF stage
and house alike.
Tickets for the unusual benefit sold
for from 81 to IS, The actors, all
amateurs, left their jobs in other
hands in New York to give their serv-
ices free.
