George Arliss, 20 Today, Says
Play,vrigl,ts Lack Preparation

I don't think you find such painstak-
ing care today A young playwright
writes a hit and then disappears
Why? Because he has struck upon
a particular subject that is so dra-
matte to him that hit automatically
happens. Then there is nothing more
left in him, for he hasn't prepared
for his profession.
so many hit plays in our theater
today are really accidents and not
the careful product Of able dramatists
who have spent great length of time
learning the technique of the theater."
Returning from his South Carolina
holiday next week, Mr. Arliss will sail
for England for a brief visit Then
he will return to California. but isn't
sure about making another picture

Warped Minds

Nazi persecution is not confined to religion and politics. It is also practiced in the field of science and knowledge. So 1.284 American scientists have joined m statement calling upon their colleagues everywhere to defend intellectual tree- dom and to defend democracy and peace as the only preServers of this freedom. The statement, from committee headed by Professor Franz Boaz of Columbia University, points out how absurdly the Nazi bosses divide physicists into the t'good", who are non- theoretical and "Aryan", and the "bad", who are theo- retical and Jewish.
 "Apart from racial theories" say the free scientists, science and art are sub feet to ruthless political censorship in Germany. These ideas have found con- crete expression in the dismissal and per- secution of more than 1,600 teachers and scientists (by the autumn of 1936) from German universities and research insti- tuteS land now in Austria and Italy, tool and in the restriction of higher educa- ton to students having the proper" po- Htical and racial qualifications"
 Education thus restricted is obviously q farce But there is nothing funny. about it. The minds of a whole genera tIOn of young people are being so warped that they will find it hard ever to get their bearings Intellectually.

United We Stand

We rather imagine that in homes all over the nation this week, the usual Christmas excitement and rush were forgotten for few minutes as real Amer jeans thrilled to the news that came from Washington, D. C. It was thrilling news, yet with all it was sobering, too. In no uncertain terms, yet not in a belllgerent or ungentlemanly manner our State De partment informed Germany, through it's foreign embassy, that this nation was not making any apologies for remarks made about the Nazi government by U. $. gov ernment officials.
 If anyone had any doubts about how the Roosevelt administration stood with regard to standing up for it's rights ana those of the nation it represents, they certainly were dissipated by summer Welles' statement. No one should have doubted, though, that President Frank lin D. Roosevelt would have countenanceo any Reviewing to foreign power on the issue of critical remarks. Even the Serl- ous situation of oroken-ott dlpiomatlc relations should not make this nation feel in any way obligated to make humnle apologies to Germany for what lnterlor Secretary Ickes may have said about recent Nazi activities in its anti-raclal and anti-religious campaigns.
 wonder is that more criticism has not been forthcoming from higher sources and that Germany might not feel. per haps. it were better so overlook the baroS than to make much of them in an inter national way. It may be that more serl- ous matters will arise from this contre- temps than now appear possible. But that the United States should back doWn or for one minute regret what has been said and done, is out of the question. we recognize our rights and we do not sup

Although the 1888 flood control law allows the federal government to acquire land for necessary dan-sites, there is a clash in New Hampshire over this very provision. New Hampshire law says that assent to such acquisition has to be ob- tained from the State Land Use Com mittee and unless the formal permission is sought, the state expects to go to law with Uncle Sam over flood control. It would be too bad to hold up any flood control projects in the Connecticut River Valley any longer and we think that a little yielding here and there by state and federal governments will go long ways toward speeding up the projects and see ing them well on their way to compile tion. We don't want to see the state law Haunted; neither do we want to see the state hold up flood control so vital to other states besides New Hampshire.

Social Loyalty

It is well known that there is more respect for law, and more observance of it, in England than in America. Discuss ing why it is so, an American editor points out this interesting fact: "In our schools boy grows up learning not to tell tales Tn England it is the habit to turn over to the police information about any kind of wrong doing" Until we acquire similar attitude, he says Eng land will be ahead of us in social behavior and law observance.
 The opposition of the two attitudes is striking. Our primary loyalty seems to be to the Schoolmate, friend or neighbor who is breaking the rule. It is an indi- vidual loyalty. Britain's loyalty is social, public or national -- loyalty toward the whole group of which the offender is 3 part. Our individual form of loyalty is primitive; the social form of loyalty is mature, and with the development of society becomes more and more in- portant.

Referendum Called For

We had something to say earlier this week about the proposed change Ill the form of our civic government. Advocates of the city manager form are determined that Waterbury give it trial. All well and good. The proper way to find out if the rank and file of the voters want to change to this method is, as the Clti- zens Good Government group suggests, bv a referendum. Certainly no one should have any objection to asking the voters of the city to express their opinions on it.
 Unfortunately, of course, such refer endum won't bring out the great numper of voters that should take such an oppor- tunity to express themselves. Referen- dums in the past, held usually III con, junction with local, state or natlonal elections, have been overlooked by the majority of the voters and only notlced by a minority. Where we would be VOL, ing simply on the question or approVa! of rejection of change in our form ol government there could be no ignorance of what the occasion was, the object of voting. and the consequences therefrom. We don't agree with the general state ment that the city manager form Of government is the cure-all for civic wor- ries and woes. We have had our say on this on many occasions. But the voters of Waterbury think that 1t IS the best move to make today, then we cer. tainly expect to go along with them ana endeavor to make the change worth while and to the benefit of every citizen and taxpayer. By Ill means let us have referendum and let us accept the yer dict as final and binding on each and every one of us.

The outlook for peace on earth and good will toward men is probably darker this Christmas than on any Christmas since the end of the World War. No one needs to be reminded that the world is moving rapidly in the direction of new war, that bitter fighting rages in Spain and China, and that the very opposite of good will is enshrined as funda- mental principle by some of the worlds greatest nations.
 Yet this is not at all the same as to say that we need to despair. The world may be sadly out of tune with Christmas, yet those who believe in the Christ mas message and look ahead to the day when it shall exert stronger influence in the hearts of men taan it now exerts have all the more reason for taking a new hope and new courage.
 For it is of the essence of the great Christmas story that it will survive any diversity. This poor earth has faced dark days aplenty since the miracle of the star over Judea and has lived through periods in which it seemed if the last hope for reign of peace and good will had vanished utterly; yet the Christmas story lives on, forever rekindlng in mems hearts the flame that shall day give us light to build on this earth the city of God
 And it is by faith in the certain arrival of that

One hundred British motorists are planning a goodwill tour of the U. S. A. this coming spring. They plan to bring 40 British cars to this country and have mapped out 2,O0O mile route which takes them as far south as West Virginia and as far west as Chicago. Boston will be their New England stop-off and last stop, too. One thing the Britishers hope to accom- plish is lowering in the license rates for foreign cars brought over here for short tours. Now the charge is for 365 days, whether the stay is one day or ten.

War and Travel

The effect of political unrest and war on travel has been greatly overrated, according to member of prominent travel bureau. There have been wars and rumors of wars throughout the years, yet travel has steadily increased. Beginning with British trouble in 1841 in China, Afghanistan, Syria, Turkey, Austria and France, the travel agent cites wars, or political riots, or revolutions, or international unrest of one sort or another in 1848, 1854, 1861, 1866, 1870, 1884, 1898, 1912, and 1914-1918. The scene of disturbance shifted from East to West and North to South and country to coun- try, but there was steady succession of upheavals Through them all, travel continued to attract peaceful human be- ings.
 It is true that travellers dodge the inn mediate war-infested spots, although they skirt closer to them than might be ex- pected And when one area is blocked off by military activity, the travellers sim ply turn to other areas. There is one curious fact about all this going and com ing Travel is supposed to educate, to create tolerance and understanding be- tween visitors and the people visited.
 Yet wars have increased in intensity and scope even as the traveller habit has spread. Have the wrong people done the travelling? It might be fine thing If Hitler, who has never been far from home, could be taken on world cruise and shown how the rest of the world lives.

Dappled like autumn, green and brown, Only the frost could bring them down And blacken and toughen their granite backs Only the iron of grandfather's axe Could bite the shells to the withered sweet That Grandmother calls the wildnut meat With sun to ripen and frost to shake And us to take all the squirrels don't take And Grandfather'S Stone-dry maple to bake, Grandmother's making butternut cakel
