success of the undertaking.
The audit Of the farms activities
showed that although no dividend
was possible for the 81 families
selected to run the project in part
nership with the government, the
principal investments were already

Interest was paid on s85,o00 bor-
rowed from the FSA to purchase
equipment and stock and a rental
of more than $4,000 was paid for
the land and modern homes origi-

The rental figure. Beatty said. was
S7,700 in excess of a minimum stip-

Then he amplified his point that
such a conference would be futile
unless the nations entering into it
are determined on its success.
After such a long period of
unsettlement and anxiety" ths
prime minister continued, con
fidence is not easily and quickly

ing TO our own is found elsewhere,
this country would not be unsym-
pathetic. 1t would be ready to make
its contribution.
In a significant reference to Hit
ler's speech before the Reichstag
yesterday, Chamberlain said:
Il very definitely got the impress
sion it was not the speech of a
man who is preparing to throw
Europe into another crisis. There
are many passages in the speech
which indicated the need for peace
for Germany"
The opposition, he believed, has
left out of account our huge re-
sources which would assure us of
victory again if we were engaged
in a life and death struggle. They
do not take into account alliances
and friendships we have with other
countries"
Chamberlain did not mention
other nations although Britain has
frequently taken parallel action
with the United States and France
in recent international develop
mentS.
I'VE are beginning to see the
results of our long preparations fol-
building up our ornaments" he
added while the commons cheered
and the laborites laughed because
of recent charges OF inefficienc,

Joe Louis, heavyweight cham

way of Dempsey and Tunney and
become a motion picture star! The
film is spirit of YOUTH" released
by Grand National starting today
at the Stockholm Theatre, Wash
ington and Marquette, Minneapolis.
spirit of Youth" is, largely, the
life story of the Brown Bomber,
the Tan Thunderbolt or the Detroit
Destroyer, depending upon the way
you look at him. Of course, there
are concessions to melodrama, in
the svelte forms of Edna Mae Har-
ris and Mae Turner who handle the
heart interest. Miss Harris has
been seen in many Hollywood films,
among them "The Green Pastures"
Bullets and Ballots" Private
Number" "The Garden of Allah"
and Fury" There is also Clar-
ence Muse, well known stage,
screen and radio actor who has the
distinction of having been offered
the title role of Emperor Jones"
by the author, Eugene O'Neill,
himself. He also wrote the popu-
lar musical composition, when It's
Sleepy Time Down South" and the
veteran actress Cleo Desmond, who
essays the role of the champs
mother. 1t is a high-powered cast.
The film is one of the real novel;
ties to come out of the studios in
recent years. 1t not alone brings
the world champion to the screen
in a romantic, dramatic offering,
but has a sizzling sequence devoted
to the popular Big Apple, danced
as only sepia steppers can dance!
