Don't Detract

Any picture frame which detracts
from the picture is wrong. 1t should
be as inconspicuous as possible,

Chinese and Japanese prints may be
placed in lacquered frames which

While the solution Of this question
would contribute greatly to the
pacification Of the world, it is in no
sense problem which could cause
war.
The relations Of the German
Reich with the countries of South
America are satisfactory, and eco
nomic relations with them con-
tinues to expand.
Our relations with the United
States are suffering from a cam
paign of def1ations carried on to
serve obvious political and finan-
cial interests, which under the pre-
tense that Germany threatens
American independence and free
dom, Is endeavoring to mobilize
the hatred of an entire continent
against the European states which
are nationally governed.
We all believe, however, that this
does not reflect the will of the
millions of American citizens who,
despite all that is said to the con-
trary by a gigantic Jewish-capital-
istic propaganda through the press,
the radio and the films, cannot
fail to realize that there is not one
word Of truth in all these asser-
tionS. '''
Germany refrains from any in
tervention in American affairs and
likewise decisively repudiates any
American Intervention in German
affairs.
The question for instance as to

whether Germany maintains eco
nomic relations and does business
with the countries Of South and
Central America, concerns nobody
but them and ourselves.
Germany at any rate Is a great
and sovereign country and is not
subject to the supervision Of Amer

that, however, feel that all states
today have SO many domestic
problems to solve, that 1t would

CRITIC, ACTOR TO
 CHANGE PLACES
Dramatic Writer Said Some Harsh Things-ln-
 vited to Try Himself

Minneapolis, Nov. 2-(UP)-An actor and & dramatic critic change places for three minutes tonight in a performance of "Tobacco Road" that may make histrionic history.
 yhe critic tuvned actor is Merle Potter, of the Minneapolis Times Trihune, who said in recent review that the star of the show couldn't act c lick. Actor turned critic is John Barton who has played the starring role of Jeeter Lester more than 900 times with, as his publicity man says, never a dull notice" un- til Potter stepped out of line.
 Barton took exception to the re- view, particularly criticism that he ignored the social aspects of the play and pointed his lines toward "Bawdy Laughs"
 If you think you're so good" he wrote Potter in his publicity mans best letter-to-the-editor style, "why don't you come up and play 1t your self? Try just three minutes of 1t If you don't want to go to the trouble of learning the entire part. cer- tainly would like to see how much a great dramatic critic as you set yourself up to be can comport him. self behind tsSe footlights."

ROGER W. BABSON
 IN PREDICTIONS
British Empire Is Going to COllapse-Five Nations

Boston, Nov. 2-(UP) Economist Roger w. Babson said today that "the British Empire-as now consti- tuted-is bound to collapse"
 He also told Boston Chamber of Commerce audience that "there is no logical excuse for so many nations" as now exist.
 "There should be only four or five possessiong armaments and a dom- mating voice in world affairs" Bab- son said. "The balance must expect to become protectorates, if not in- tegral parts of stronger nations. If nature takes its natural course, these dominating nations will be Russia, Germany, England, Japan or China, and possibly the United States"
 Fresh from two-month tour oi the Orient Babson offered these conclusions
 1.-"I am not sure a second world war now exists in Europe. In China Ethiopia and Spain, we had wars without a declaration of war. Why cannot we now have declaration of war without warp"
 2.-"War or no war, have fell since July 24 that good stocks, se- lected commodities and productive real estate are safe purchases. still feel so."

That's what they used to say Jack" The way the political situation looks nowadays they could say-two birds in the bush is worth more than one bird in the hand with one wing missing.
 Do I understand you to mean a diSorganized political party turns black against blues in their own ranks?" Exactly. There will be one political buggy machine that I know of all oiled up ready for the parade but no place to go. If they adopt this new ingenuity known as the politicoscope-agraph it would take the headaches out of politics for ever. and besides folks will be able to vote with a clearer conscience regardless what the political bosses say. The voters will not be swallow ing everything they hear as easily as an oyster would glide down the throat of a hungry man.

Oakville And Watertown Hoop Loop Meets Tonight
BY BOB PALMER JR.

Managers of prospective teams in the Adult Recreation basketball league will convene tonight at the high schcool gym to draw up plans for the third season of the popular circuit.
 Several clubs have already been practicing for the past few weeks and from what the writer has seen thus far, big shakeup by all teams can be expected. The big mystery to the local fans concerns the fate of the Oakville Dukes. The best (though not the champions) and most popular quintet in the league last season, their status now remains in doubt.
 Failure of the Dukes to win the playoffs from the Kiesels last winter was the cause of much dissention in their ranks and persisting rumors have the team broken up. George Pierce, trump card in the organiza- . ton says they will carry on inde- pendently and will not enter into the league--but we have known George to change his mind before the fans will miss the Dukes if they stay out.
 Watertown's Chestnut Hills un- doubtedly will be one of the favor- ites this season, after two dismal years of competition. Lee Vaughn the circuits leading point maker and late of the Dukes has returned to his old stamping grounds and will handle the Hills for the coming season. Vaughn has Buddy Slason Tom Starry, Bob Jalmer, Mike Mar ems, Jim Sweeney, Len Havana Gene Vaughn and others signed ur and this aggregation should have plenty to say about that celluloio collar button next March. They have been working faithfully for the past few weeks.
 The Kiesels are set. The defending champions with the addition of Ray Beauty, all league forward with the Dukes last season will of course be the team to beat. They came ur strong last season to nose out 6 staggering Duke team for the title and thereby realize two year am bition.

shall have ended and are mapping their strategy for the rest of the fall and the early winter.
 Frederick Libby, head of the Ma tional Council for Prevention of War plans an active campaign for peace now" His organization will try to create sentiment for an inter- national peace conference . to end hostilities and settle differences be- tween warning nations. It is trying to re-establish its prewar contacts in Great Britain.
 We take the attitude that there , is no sense in this war, that no one wants 1t, that no one knows what they're fighting for and that it's time 1t was stopped" Libby says And, of course-the sooner the war Is stopped, the greater the likelihood that American can remain at peace" The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, meanwhile, plans to make a strong drive for enactment of war ref erendum measure similar to the proposal which Senator LaFollette unsuccessfully tried to tack onto the neutrality bill.
 PEOPLE WOULD TAKE
 WAR POWER
 Already pending in Congress is the constitutional am en q m mt brought up long ago by Congress- n, r n,gic T 9,Jln1u %f Ty, lioY,o ,s,I,ip1N would (to all intents and purposes) take the war-declaring authority away from Congress and put 1t in the hands of the voters, except in the case of actual or threatened in- vasion of the United States.
 Senator LaFollettes plan Is the same thing in milder form. It would provide that Congress could not de- clare war (except, again, in case of invasion) until after a referendum had been held, but 1t would not necessarily make this referendum binding upon Congress.
 Dorothy Detzer, who handles Washington matters for the League says her group will support this plan principally on the ground that 1t Is simpler than the Ludlow proposal and could be put into effect by @ mere act of Congress in place of the lengthy constitutional amendment process.
 EMBARRASSED BY
 CONFUSION IN NAMES
 Just incidentally, Miss Detzer wishes people would get 1t through their heads that the Women's h. ternational League for Peace and Freedom has nothing whatever to do with the American League for Peace and Democracy, the outfit which the Dies committee has branded a Communist-front organi- zation.
 Because the names are similar lots of people get them mixed; Miss Detzer points out that her organiza- ton is strictly a membership affair that 1t has-or had, until the war started-sections in 22 countries and that it maintains international headquarters at Geneva.
 League officials have always been Q little sore at the Peace and De- mocracy crowd, suspecting that the similarity in names was not exactly accidental.
 The Women's Information o na, League Is much the older of the two, having been founded in 1915 by Jane Addams. There is nothing radical about 1t; it's national treas. urer, for instance, is Helen Taft Manning, daughter of former Presi- dent Taft and sister of Senate, Taft of Ohio.

Cat vS Starlings

One of our civic minded citi- zens has taken it upon himself to find a solution for the star ling problem that has been with us and on us for the past few years. His solution, as noted by early morning workers in the vicinity of the Green, follows briefly:
 He seats himself on a bench in the trouble zone and pro- ceeds to scatter bread crumbs slowly and methOdically in front of him. Cautiously the "enemy" alight and wobble to the bait" After they lose their caution and proceed to within a foot or so of the samaritan, out pounces the artillery" a starved house cat, who reduces the "enemy" by one.
 However, this campaign Is pretty slow but the feline to date has realized three victories.
