Receptions Of British Rulers
In Canada Jolts Dictator.

Whether British Prime Minister
Chamberlain planned 1t that way"
may never be known, but the visit
OF the king and queen to Canada
may easily have stayed the hands
of Mussolin and Hitler for some
time to come.
The reports of the tremendous
ovation which their Hajesties- Ee-
ceived from Quebec to Vancouver
and back must have surprised and
startled the foreign offices of Berlin
and Rome as much as they did
the Canadian politicians. There is
no speculation about this. Eminent
political leaders Of all parties in
Canada frankly said so to visiting
American newspaper men.
In short, the greeting OF the
Canadians, no matter what was the
mother country to their own fathers
and mothers, put an entirely differ
ent face on the probabilities as to
what Canada would do if Great Brit
ain should become involved in a
war.
II is truism in politics, certainly
in the United States and probably
in Canada, that it is not the truth
which is important, but what peo-
pie believe. Carrying on the thought
a bit further, it is not what the peo-
pie believe which is really impor-
tant--in between elections-but what
the politicians they have elected to
represent them think the people

people of course was that IVA
would build additional hydro cleo
trio plants. That is where the coal
interests come in. for obviously ev-
cry time hydro plant is built Just
that much of coal market departs
forever, no matter how the result
ing electricity is used.
Behind the scenes the private utS-
ity folks have been in a quandary.
Naturally they have the same in
terest as the coal people in prevent
ing, if possible, further invasion Of
the electric field by the government.
They are especially close to the
coal people in their interests since
most of the private utility execu-
tives now figure that current can be
produced more cheaply from coal,
by using modern methods than it
can be produced by water power, If
due allowance is made in comput-
ing its cost for interest on the cost
of the hydro electric plant, and for
taxes.
Which brings in another angle; for
the state, county and municipal gov
ernments in Tennessee were anxious
to force a provision into the bill
which would require the IVA and
the local agencies set-up for public
distribution of electricity to pay
into the state and local treasures
the same amount of money each
year which they would have paid
had they continued.

Don't Like TO Have Public
Potcer Systems Handica pped

This is sore point with the pub
lie ownership advocates. They do
not like to have the public power
systems handicapped with this
charge of taxes. Naturally the pri-
vate utility people are keen for it,
contending that no "yardstick" ap-
proaches fairness unless this is in
Guided. In fact taxes and a COM
parable amount of interest are the
two chief advantages which public
electric systems have had over pri-
vately owned systems in fixing low
rates.
David Z. Lilienthal pointed out in
the IVA special committee hearings
at Knoxville last summer that the
government could borrow money for
2 per cent while private enterprise
would have to pay much more. But
private utility men have been con-
tending ever since this is only part
of the story-that in fixing rates the
IVA has made no charge whatever
for the millions of dollars interest
every year the taxpayers have to
pay for the cost of the IVA project
Also that in local public ownership
systems as per cent of the cost
would be a free grant from PWA
with the other SIS per cent at a low
rate of interest.
But the utility people would like
to see government money actually
paid for the Tennessee properties,
and the stupid possibility of compe-
tition between private and public
ownership systems prevented. Sc
they would like to see the bill
passed, with certain amendments.
The coal people don't care much
about the amendments, but want

many's economic preparedness for
war is stressed in a speech by an
official of the Nazi Economic Min
istry, Walther Landfied.
The Economics Secretary spoke at
the opening of the East Prussian
fair.
Landfied described East Prussia
as the historic bulwark of Germanys
eastern frontiers and declared that
the dispute with Poland has again
emphasized the Importance of that
bulwark.
The Economic official said that
Germany has learned the lesson of
the last war. He declared that the
Reich was now in very different
position than it was in 1914, not
| only as regards its political struc-
ture, unity and military resources
but also in the field of economics
Said Landfied 1--WE have an eco
nomic general staff. We did not
have it in 1914. We know that VIC
cannot win a war on the military
field if we lose on the field of eco
Monies. We are therefore we'll armed

FEATURED IN film
Three Loves Has Nancy
Showing Again To-
night at Capitol

With all America made movie
boner" conscious through the spot
light placed on them b. columnists,
studios are exerting every effort to
prevent errors in their pictures. An
example of this is offered by the
care taken in the filming of Three
Loves Has Nancy" now showing
at the Capitol Theatre,
One of the sequences called for
display of magazines of every de-
scription. In order to obviate any
chance of mistake, Tony Ordoqui,
property man for the picture, con-
tacted the largest news agencies
and made arrangements to get the
latest magazines before they were
mailed. In this way the covers and
story material advertised on the
covers we're timely when the pic
ture was released.
Director Richard Thorpe took
care that none of the actors dis
played jewelry or monograms which
would present initials different from
those they bore in the picture. Only
once was an error narrowly averted.
Franchot Tone had discarded his
monogrammed shirts, his cuff links
and his tie pin, but in one scene
he was supposed to reach in his
pocket for money. In rehearsal,
Thorpe noted that his money was
held in clip which, bore the initials,
F.. t. Since he plays the part of
Robert Hanson in the picture, the
clip had to be discarded.

The Regional Forester said:
MIR. Wyckoff will be assigned the
Job of investigating the POSSIBLE

is further attempt to determine
what can be done toward encour-

can't get rid Of them. They claim to
be looking for work but my opinion is
they just amt inclined to labor. They
eat plenty but they don't pay board.
SO if you will take care Of these re-
lations and either find some labor for
them or provide them with board, we
sure will appreciate it.
Yours truly,

Jobless Due To Strike
Refused Compensation

Charleston, W. Va. (AFLWNS).-
In decision handed down here, the
West Virginia Unemployment Com
pensation Board Of Review denied un-
employment compensation to 2,7O5
workers in the Parkersburg plant of
the Viscose Company because their
idleness last Summer was held due to
labor dispute.
Approximately 200 workers in the
spinning department of the Parkers-
burg plant struck on June ), 1888. Be-
cause Of the stoppage in that depart
ment the mill management, on the
ground Of the alleged complicated pro-
cess Of making rayon yarn, closed all
other departments.
The West Virginia unemployment
compensation law prohibits the pay
ment Of unemployment benefits when
work stoppage is due to labor dis
pute. Although only small group Of
the employees struck, the board of re-
view held that the idleness of all the
other employees was caused by the Ia
Dor dispute III which the 200 splnners
were directly involved.

Shipments by trucks were seriously

Of the international Brotherhood Of

lapse of negotiations between repre-

three-year contract with wage in
creases in all classifcations.
The strike leaders ordered a clear
road for perishables and fuel. At the
start union chieftains said 600 trucks
and between 1000 and 1,200 men were
affected in Rhode Island alone.
Union officials in Worcester, Mass,
