If there is any race Of people

the democracy which has furnish

THE SANE WAY TO FIGHT FOR
DEMOCRACY
iBy BRUCE CATION


No American can read the foreign news
these days without asking himself some
searching questions about his duty to the
,,usr Of democracy and freedom.
That Euope'S freedom and democracy
..r,. I'D dire straits is too tragically clear to
ul.s The struggle may come tomorrow
or Il may be postponed for few weeks
that il is bound to come before very long
uow seems certain.
We cannot be unmoved by this spec
tar.e We have in our keeping the bright
est. strongest flame of liberty that burns
anywhere on the globe today; and as the
lights flicker out in Europe we are COM
PEELED to ask ourselves just what our duty
jy The world calls on us to do.
Yet if we cannot avoid asking that ques-
ton, We must be extremely careful about
how we answer it.
Democracy and freedom are indeed in
peril abroad; but we would be making the
Erayest error of our history if we assumed
that we were obligated to go abroad to
help them.
We do indeed have duty to perform
bat it is a duty that We can perform only
by staying at home.
What better thing could we do than to
keep democracy and freedom alive within
our own borders? How could we serve
those magnificent causes better than by
preserving them intact on one continent?
What more could we do for the world than
demonstrate, in our own gigantic labOra-
tory, that the way of liberty brings men
and women more happiness than any other
way?
The war peril in Europe makes it more
Imam ever important that we do just those
things. We can do them only by resolving
10 stay out of any war that Europe may
concoct.
History moves in a roundabout way, and
men learn things very slowly. Yet in the
long run reason will prevail if it has
chance to make itself heard. The people
Of this world do not want war, nor do they
want the eternal suspicion, enmity, and RI
r;,iry between nations that lead to war.
They want peace, a chance to make liv-
ing, a little time to be happy, little secur-
ity against hunger and poverty.
If America goes on, year after year,
proving that those boons can be had more
;.bundantly under democracy than under
oppressiOn-if it shows that men can live
at peace and plenty under a regime OF
complete freedom-will not the argument
some day become irresistible?
Our first and greatest duty is at home.
If We continue to make democracy work
and to make peace and liberty go hand IN
hand with plenty and justice, we shall
serve the world better than in any other
possible way.

Sidney Luft, %, who served

Eleanor left the East a little

she had a male secretary, point

affairs with efficiency but also
danced a mean rhumba.
AS a matter Of fact, Eleanor

the first thing he did when he
arrived here last summer was to
call on her.

During his quarter-century in
Hollywood, Hersholt has been
under contract to one studio OF

of that time, and in all that
time has had only three weeks
during which he was out or
work. His role in "Alexancer's

Mack Sennett Could Really Pick En-

HOLLYW WOOD, April q
d.N.SO.-When the Motion Pic

brought back to mind one Of
filmdom's most-famous groups
of girls, the Mack Sennett bath

Only one of them Is In pic,

of the latter-day bathing beau

Two others remain wellknown

Several others are active In

Others married. Virginia Fox

films came in.
When you look over the list,
you realize Sennett had an eye
for real beauty.
It paid him big dividends,
too. Now, we have no bathing
beauties as such. The film in
dustry has found a wide variety
of ways to show off feminine fig
ureS on the screen.
And, when you think Of it, the
bathing suits of Mack Sennett's
