INCORPORATED

The Franklin D. Roosevelt Lii
brary, Incorporated, has been in
corpoIated in New York for the
purpose of establishing perma-
nent repository at Hyde Park for
President RooSevelt's personal pa
pers and collection of books and
paintings. This is in lice with
the announcement of the Presi-
dent several weeks ago that funds
received from the publication of
his papers and speeches during
the rest of his administration
would be used to finance such a
project. In announcing his plans,
early in December, the President
expressed the hope that he would
continue to live at Hyde Park
where he could assist in the
maintenance of the collection
during his life time and that,
upon his death, the family home
would be left to the government.

MONEY TROUBLES MAY CAUSE
FRANCE TO BECOME WEAKENED
By WILLIAM McGAFFIN
Associated Press Feature Service Writer

PARIS, Jan. 6.-Eemocrati;
France today is like the beauti-
full lady at the circus who gets
on top of pile of shaky tables
and starts rocking back and forth.
Only France is doing it not to
thrill the crowd but because she
can't help herself. Her very neck
is at stake.
It's the toughest spot the Third
Republic has ever been on-and
it has been on some mighty tough
ones in its day.
A financial crisis of many years
standing already had France
swinging wide when the prestige
shattering Munich deal cropped
up to emphasize the swing. Now
there's more financial trouble and
internal disharmony.
To pull out, Finance Minister
Paul Reynaud has inaugurated a
"three-year recovery program"
which he says is democratic
Frances last card. It is nice to
the rich in the hope that rich in
dustrialists will bring their money
back from abroad and start in
dustry.
Il Labor Troubles Over?
- Reynaud said his program of
higher indirect taxes and longer
hours of work is meant to help
labor as much as capital. But or
gained labor called a general
strike, although it Topped when
Prime Minister Edouard Daladier
applied strong arm methods.
Many say labor has played its
trump card. Others say, lust
Wait!"
Poor old France has reason to
cry in her wine. Twenty short
years have reversed her fortunes.

France also had the League of
Nations and the Kellogg pact.
Pleasant Dreams
French foreign office experts
were busily plotting the extension

ing of a 50-year peace under
French direction.
France had a terrific war debt.
But business was good. She had
Europe's largest gold reserve and
was spending money on recon-
struction lavishly, for was not
Germany to pay the bill?

hausted and stopped paying
France promptly marched an
army into Germany's industrializ-

Today, France and Germany
have traded roles. When Daladier
decided to bow to Hitler at Mu-
nich last September rather than
fight for Czechoslovakia he sever
ed the key link in the iron ring.

AT THE ART CENTER
BY JOHN FRANCIS PUTNAM


Miss Eleanor Reeds Show at
the Key West Community Art
Center is a representative group
ing of the partially complete ex-
preston of a serious artist. She
is a splendid watercolorist; her
purpose is sincere and unim-
peachable. She goes about her
work with the utmost of SINGER
ity and conviction. The result is
thoroughly engaging, and her in
dividual style is amazingly we'll
suited to the Key West scene.
She is often satisfied, how
ever, that her own conception,
limited by love of a certain
effect, is an ironbound one,
applicable to all manner of SUBJ
jects. Her preoccupation with
technique would tend to make
many of her otherwise fine
paintings seem to be mere varia-
lions on a theme. Apart from
the very competent handling of
the Gray Day" scenes, it would
seem that all of her Key West
scenes were painted in that lin
gering, nostalgia hour before
sunset. She would do we'll to
see how Winslow Homer over
came the problem of hard bril-
liant white tropical light in his
Nassau watercolors.
Her subject matter is repiti-
tiouS, for instance it would seem
that Provincetown would be per-
petually at low tide. The paint
ings themselves are honest stud
,es, but there must be high tide
once in a while up thereI
Miss Reed is a very fine drafts
mag with an amazingly sure
sensaDof light and shade techs
nique <tMsst of her work has
woneeIfak depth. But her purple
shadows prompt me to look
around for a few spotlights and
color filters on either side of her
subject matter. The obvious sin
cerity of her work bellies any
stigma of the theatrical. In
truth, the colors she uses are not
gaudy. 1t is best to say that one
can readily picture her sitting
down to work with a chromatic
color harmony chart propped up
in front of her.
In her oils, Miss Reed has made
studied departure from her wa
tercolor poncects. She somehow
tolceS leticence on herself. In
but one instance does she retain,
in oils, the sparkle and verve oI
her watercolor1 WorSs II al small
andscaps canvas, Her work in
oil seems TO be "a reaction in
which she interests herself more
with pattern anda 9texture than
with light end color She has. an
admirable sense off textures: the
feel and surface of coconuts, the
hard, brittle. glinting bottles, the
dry gingham dress are all tam
gible and real Her portrait work
is intelligently styled with a
fine pattern feeling and a mellow
restraint.
Miss Reeds work is in transi-
ton. It promises of something
uuly fine. 1t is with genuine ex
pectancy that one can look for
ward to the final development in
he artistic experience of this art
st. The Art Center is fortunate
in having as colorful an exhibit
with which to start the New
Year.

NAVY MASSINC
FOR WAR in
CARIBBEAN SEA
FLEET WILL ENGAGE IN VA
RIoUS MANEUvERS DUR
ING WIDE RANGE OF Ac-
INVITES
BY ALEXANDER n. GEORGE
AP Ee.ure Service Writer

AR SeAufe 9SEV1Ce W144eI
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The
United States navy is secretly
massing for war" in the Car
ibbean sea, once the haunt Of
pilates and now key to the de-
feEse of America.
The fleet sailing from west
coast harbors is in fighting trim.
The admiIals have chosen up
sides" In February, the white
fleet will swing out around that
arc of islands on the Caribbean's
rim from Cuba to South America
and then turn about to attack.
The black" fleet will stand
guard over the region. That's the
setting for the mysterious Prob
lem Xxx of the u. S. navy.
lis Gotta Be Real
It's going to be as near real
war as possible, for if this coun-
try ever faces attack from the At
lnatic it's a 10 to bet the defense
will depend largely upon control
of the West Indies region.
And while Uncle Sam keeps a
wary eye on Japan's ambitions in
the Pacific, there may be in these
new maneuvers some indication
of another eye cooked on the ra-
pid rise of Germany's sea and air
might.
At any rate, Problem Xxx will
be the fleets first war game in
the Atlantic since 1884.
Involved in this vital naval
problem is:
Protection of the Panama ca
nal, invaluable short route for
the u. S. fleet between the oceans.
Prevention of establishment of
a base from which enemies could
strike at the U. S. or South Amer
lea. ..
Easier control of essential sea
lanes between American ports.
The natural protection of the
Caribbean lies in defending the
three major passages between the
islands. Guarding the 50-mile
Windward passage between Cuba
and Haiti is the u. S. naval base
at Guantanamo, in southeastern
Cuba. 1t is not heavily fortified.
In Range OF Bombers
There is no naval base at the
Mona passage between Haiti and
Puerto Rico, but there are several
good harbors and potential facili-
ties for ar forces there. The big
navy bonbers at the Canal could
fly the 933 nautical miles and re-
turn without refueling.
The marines have an air base
on St. Thomas island, along the
third major passage, the Ane-
gada, between the Virgin Islands
and the Lesser Antilles.
A Mighty Armada
The white" invaders, COM
manded by Admiral E. c. Kalb-
fus, will try to establish a coast
base somewhere. The defend
ing black" navy will be COM
manded by Vice Admiral Adolf
phus Andrews.
This war" will involve 140
warships, some 600 planes. five
big airplane carriers, scores of
darting deStroyers, swift, sleek
submarines and cruisers. The per-
sonnet will include about % adj
mirals and vice admirals, 1000
officers. 10000 enlisted men and
about 1000 marines.
Umpires will score the casual
ties, gunnery and strategical sue
cesses and failures. Submarines
will go long distances as under
sea scouts. The air arm, particu-
larry the big flying boats from
West Coast, Norfolk and Panama,
is expected to get its toughest
workout.
Marines will be in there, too,
carrying out landing and base de-
Tense operations possibly at Puer-
TO Rico.

Other Discouraging Facts
Frances birth rate is falling
alarmingly. She now has only
about AZ million people compared
to the nearly 80 million of the
enemy across the Rhine although
Frances colonies boost her total
population to about 100 million).
Germany long ago stopped pay
ing PREPARATIONS. And most of the
money she did pay went to the
expenses of the French army OF
occupation.
France has never recovered
from the world depression. She
is broke and staggering under a
huge public debt. If you include
the $4,250, 100000 war debt owed
America, Frances obligations to-
tailed, $2l, 250,000.0O0 at the last
official reckoning-and they are
getting, bigger.
She keeps going only by bor-
rowing, and by devaluing the
franc-another form of taxation.
The franc has been slashed from
approximately 20 cents to less
than three cents.
Will She Take Back Seat?
One of the last straws is the
ornaments race. If she is to keep
up, she must spend more and
more-exactly the opposite to
what she is able to do.
Things are so bad some of
Frances leaders are urging that
she accept second class role and
concentrate on setting her finan-
cial house in order.
Some fear she may go dictate
rial, They see in Daladier a fascist
fuehrer who will take over if
Frances finances continue in
their present desperate plight.

The gold which the motion picture
industry is panning from library

European history out of Roland B.

Time was when Lee, who has di-

But the historical films of recent

come before his megaphone, have
grounded him in knowledge of the

Charlemagne, and he even remem-
bers the sequence of the British
Kings.
Many people think research ex-
perts do all the work on historical
films, but the directors must study
intensively themselves" said Lee.
The director can't achieve the cor
rect historical tone unless he makes
himself an authority on his subject.
