Jane Wyatt, Laura Hope Crews,

Of Mr.. Gordon's play who have shed
lot OF brilliance In their time upon

Heading the males of Save Me the
Waltz" is Leo G. Carroll. who entirely
apart from any past or future associa-
ton with the films, is the chap who
virtually stole Storm Over Patsy"
when it opened last spring at the
National. In stealing that play, Mr..
Carroll was not getting anything of
enormous value, but he gave a per-
formance for which superb is q kind

Miss Dayton, who almost can be

Of George Kaufman in writing her new
play as she did in that biting drama,

acid on ladies with yen to be Presi-

with more dramatic qualities.
In the first place, Disney wanted q
folk tale that was known and beloved
by the peoples Of every land where
the motion picture has penetrated.
Snow White" was that story. Sec
ondly, he wanted story into whose
c. ,racters he could embody the
piquant humor which is the colorful
core of Disney thinking. Snow
White" was that story More than
that, he wanted q background which
made logical the introduction of bird
and animal characters which Disney
can make more appealing than Nature
herself. Snow White" was that story,
also.
There was no escaping Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs." And Disney
never tried to escape it. although
members Of his staff did. 1t took most
OF = year for him to sell them the
idea, and he did it then not as a result
Of his own monumental enthusiasm,
but because of their confidence in the
unfailing success Of his inspirations

Metro GoldwynMayer has just turned
in bit of casting which deserves to
be much more the talk OF the town
than 1t probably will be. To be spe-
cific about it, it brings John Cara
dine to town on Friday in the role of
Lincoln! There never has been any
thing like it. Mr.. Carradine is a good
actor and he probably will make a
good Lincoln. but Hollywood has made
1t almost impossible to think of him
In such role
Mr.. Carradine is a villain. An ex-
traordinarily fine villain. Most of
his screen life has been spent in being
unalloyedly vicious. Professionally he
has explored every corner of base
ness cruelty and depravity. With the
fick Of an eyelash he can strike terror
into the bravest heart in q movie

against the power OF labor unions
being sanctioned unless they accept
obligations. But there il no proposal
to amend the Wagner Labor Relations
Act, but rather the thought is some
what vaguely formulated that labor,
business and Government should be
intimately integrated In a system
which in the long run Government
would control.
Opposes A. F. L. Features.
Since then the President has indi-
Gated that he is opposed to certain
features of the A. F. Of L. organiza-
ton and the administration through
out has consistently leaned toward
advocating industrial unionism rather
than craft unionism. Why? Be-
cause craft unionism runs athwart
the idea of the vertical labor front,
which alone could be integrated in q
corporate state system along with q
vertical industrial front.
One thing that stands in the way
OF all this is the courts, and Mr.. Jack
son in one OF his speeches had some
thing to say about them: THE most
serious obstacle to antitrust prose-
cution is the judicial attitude which
makes state of mind an element in
every case the only possible
standard which can practically be
enforced is results"
l don't know what this sentence
means, unless it means that We must
have on the benches Of the country
men whose state of mind comedies
with the state OF mind Of the admin
istration And this emphasis upon
the state of mind" corresponds to
the Nazi revolution jurisprudence,
which makes the correct outlook"
(weltanschauung) and results in har-
mony with that outlook, the sole
criterion of Justice
And this gets us right back to the
Supreme Court fight, and again DEM
onstrates that this presidential Gov
ernment is nothing If not consistent
Now, what does this all add up to?
We are to maintain private ownership
but have government control. We are
to seek balanced and expanding
economy by contractual cooperation
between government and agriculture,
with penalties for non-co-operators,
which is the sense Of the farm bills
which have just passed both houses.
The presumption is that all this can
be set up without coercion, and inside
the framework Of political democracy
And for that We have also got a new
slogan: Majority rule ma jority
mandate" We have also got a public
relations technique for constantly mo-
bilizing that majority or pretending
that 1t exists.
But liberals are beginning to wake
up to the meaning of this conspiracy
In his Christmas sermon at the CON-
munity Church in the Town Hall in
New York, John Haynes Holmes. whose
lifetime has been spent fighting for
liberalism, announced that the Su-
preme Court controversy had for
feited intelligent respect for the Presi-
dents leadership, and wrecked his

either the Jackson or the Ickes
speeches. 1t simply carried forward
one step farther policy which now
begins to assume recognizable fea-
lures The Government does not in
tend to break up" monopolies in the
trust-busting manner Of Theodore
Roosevelt, nor is it in the least in
fluenced by the ideas of Senator
Borah. It intends to use the unqueS-
toned existence of big business in
this country. which is the inevitable
result Of mass production, as an argu-
ment for extending Government ragu-
lation to all business. with promises
to the little man" that this regula-
ton will turn out to be in his interest
rather than in the interest of the
big fellows. There is no other pos
sible deduction to be made from the
Ickes and Jackson speeches plus the
Presidents remarks at the Tuesday
press conference, unless one is to as
sumo that there is complete anarchy
IN Washington. and no program be-
yond persistent opposition Of nom
acquiescent elements and insidious
undermining of the foundations of
private enterprise
This column is convinced that there
is program. From just what group
it emanateS and just who its sponsors
are is not quite clear. 1t is certainly
not the program Of a consensus of
the Cabinet, the Congress or the DEM
ocratic party.

The Presidents remarks at the press
conference do not indicate any change
in policy; they are merely the most
open statement which We have yet
had OF the only features Of this ad-
ministration that do not change
At meeting of the National Policy
Committee at Goodwood, held in Rich
mond. Mass, in September Of last
year, Dr. Mordecai Ezekiel of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, one of the
leading blueprint boys of the admin
istration. made this policy perfectly
clear. He proposed that a plan be
worked out which would reward in
