Thursday.
With uncanny foresight, the pic
ture, which was finished before
the European war broke out. en-
visages just such situation as
that in which the United States
finds itself today wealthy and
powerful neutral in a warning
world, a nation which, while it
does not supply any belligerent
with direct implements Of warfare,
has become nevertheless the chief
reliance of some of the warning
countries for the necessities of life.
The picture, at the outset, re-
calls the extensive campaign Of
sabotage which was carried out in
this country by agents of the CEN
trail powers long before the United
States entered the World war of
1914-1918. Just as If the producers
of the film knew in advance that
another great European war would
break out early in September, the
picture tells a highly credible tale
of how agents of certain foreign
countries have been making their
plans for industrial sabotage in
the United States.
Aside from McCrea and Miss
Marshall, the latter a recruit from

lnsrid Bergman
Here tomorrow

Tne name OF lovely Ingrid Berg
man, leading Swedish screen star,
is steadily looming larger and
brighter on the international firm
ament Of motion pictures. The
aura which surrounds this young
actress Is easy to understand. At
the age of % she has appeared
before the sound pictures not only
In her native Sweden, but in Ger
many and the United States as
well. And In each instance Miss
Bergman has played her role ex-
pertly In the respective language
Of that country.
She is Sweden's major exporta-
ton to Hollywood since Greta
Carlo. a fact proved by the sue
cess of her first American film,
"Intermezzo." opposite Leslie
Howard. SO popular in its original
Swedish version that it was pur-
chased by Hollywood for remaking
with Miss Bergman In the same
stellar role.
Another Swedish picture of
Miss Bergman's which has just
been obtained by Hollywood for
similar treatment Is the strange
story, En- Kvinnas Ansikte," or
"A Woman's Face" which will be
shown at the Kay Street theater
one day only. Thursday, Dec. IA.
Continuous from 1 to IL p. m.
In this searching character
study, Miss Bergman Is seen as a
disfigured and anti-social young
woman who. restored to beauty
and normally again. through the
skill and kindness of young sur
geon, must overcome the obstacles
which her past then puts before
her.
The picture was directed by
Gustaf Molander. who also made
the highly acclaimed Swedish
"Intermezzo."

Nature Does Best
To Hold Up Film

A combination of dust storms
and rain did their darndest to hold
up production of THE Return of
the Cisco Kid" the Goth Century,
Fox production, starring Warner
Baxter, which is now playing at

The annoying natural phenom-
ena were encountered when the
company, headed by Director Her

Lynn Bari, Cesar Romero, Henry
Hull, Kane Richmond, c. Henry
Gordon and Robert Barrat, jour-
neyed to Arizona for location
scenes for the film. Daryl F.

Use for Empty Cans:

THE other day a letter came
L with an unusual request. II
have made so many useful things
by just following the pictures in
your Book 1-SEWING, for the
Home Decorator; and Book 2
Gifts, Novelties and Embroidery;
l wonder if you could tell me some
way to use empty cans?"
Fortunately we have very long
memory. There came to life the
picture of a fat little girl sitting
on a small footstool in very Vic
torian parlor while her Great Aunt
rocked and visited. And there
was something about that footstool
yes it had cans inside. The cans
were filled with sand to make the
footstool' heavy. The cover was
red carpet with handles of the
carpet material at the ends. So
we saved six cans. We substituted
a piece of upholstery material for
carpet, and here is step-by-step
sketch of the footstool we made.
1t is a great success.
Now is the time to give your
house a fresh start. Crisp new
curtains; a bright slipcover; new

the trick. Make these things your

Bruckorfs Washington Digest
Feeling of Unrest in Europe
Reaches Our Side of Atlantic
Permeates Administration and, to Some Extent, Con-
gress; Result Is Great and Increasing Mystery; Pres
dents Secrecy Approved; Facts About Plane Sales.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg, Washington D. C.

WASHINGTON.-The feeling that
has obsessed Europeans for weeks
that they are approaching toward
some international crisis-Seems to
have spread to our side of the At
lantic. Right out of the air, so to
speak, we are made to feel that
great questions are about to take
shape and that we, in this country,
must be ready to decide them. The
germ, or whatever it is, has taken
up its domicile within our admins
tration and, to some extent, in con-
gress. and the result is great and in
creasing mystery.
Most sources in Washington did
not believe that the so-called settle
ment of the European crisis at Mu-
Mich last September was, in fact,
more than a stop-gap, as l reported
to you at that time. The Munich
failure has become more and more
evident and the very atmosphere is
charged again with exactly the
same type of bated expectancy.
In a general way, of course, we
all know that the worldwide differ
ence between the democratic forms
of government and the relationships
is at the bottom of the whole thing.
We know, as well, that Hitler and
Mussolini have challenged the Eu-
ropean democracies by the boldness
of their dictatorship actions in TAX
ing practically what they want in
the way of additions to their en-
pires. We know, further, that the
end decidedly is not yet insofar as
the Hitler and Mussolini ambitions
are to be considered. And wrapped
up in all of this is the genuine
friendship that the United States
has for France and England.
Beneath the surface, things have
been going on in our own govern
ment. The President, the depart
ment of state and the military and
naval services know what is taking
place in Europe and they are adj
vised as to what may be expected.
Plans were being formed and de-
veloped so that steps could be taken
here at the proper time. All of this
was done in more or less secrecy,
as it always has to be done since
public discussion Of such delicate
matters could tilt us very easily
from the frying pan into the fire.

Manchukuo's Siberian border has
seen repeated Russian-Jap clashes
during the past five years, but not
until last summer was this hostil-
ity publicized. At that time several
heated skirmishes took place over

December, Tokyo and Moscow had

which Japan intends to exploit de-
spite Soviet objections. In January
several high Tokyo officials solemn

war-not only a continuation of the
wearying Sino-Jap conflict but for
war with Russia
What may be the touch-off signal
for this war has been reported from

Genuine Danger of War,
But Not Immediately

Because of the necessity for avoid
ing wrong impressions which is a
vital thing in international relations,
President Roosevelt told the mill
tary affairs committee of the senate
confdentially something of the in
side story. l believe he did right in
shielding those facts from general
knowledge for no one knows how
they could, or would, be distorted in
German or Italian newspapers.
But this air of mystery has back
fired in a curious way. 1t has
aroused certain portions of the coun-
try into veritable frenzy-particu-
larly, some members of congress
and they have siezed upon a rela-
lively unimportant thing as their
weapon in striking at Mr.. Roose-
velt's foreign policy. They have
jumped all over the Presidents neck
about the sale of airplanes to
France. airplanes that were manu-
featured and are being manufac-
tured by private plane builders and
which are being sold for cash to
the French government.
1t is made to appear that this is
a terrible thing. The howlers are
saying that Mr.. Roosevelt has vio-
lated the spirit of the neutrality act
and that he should never have given
permission for the sale of the
planes. There are other charges
flying about, also, but they are un-
important here.
l have dug into the situation as
far as is possible, l believe, and l
fail to get very much excited about
the whole thing There is, of course,
the genuine danger of war, although
I am not convinced that Europe is
going to break out tomorrow. Some
time, probably, but not Immediate
ly. Such clash of hopes and con-
victions and traditions and faith as
obviously occurs between the philos-
Ophies of relationships and democ-
racies is bound to lead to use of
force but / think there is the prob
ability that it is further away than
this jittery feeling of the world now
indicates.

self look foolish, believe they ought
to be called what they are. If they
can show where the present foreign
policies are ridiculous, now is their
opportunity.
If this criticism of Mr.. Roosevelt
were directed at his actions with re-
spect to Spain or Japan. perhaps
there would be something worth
considering. 1t will be recalled that
the President persuaded plane man.
ufacturers and many others as well
to discontinue sales to the Japanese
for use against China. 1t will be
recalled also that indirect assist
ance was given the so-called loyal
lists in Spain, aid that surely must
be looked upon--if done honestly
as help to the military forces al
though disguised as provisions for
those who suffered back of the lines.
All of this was done while we have a
neutrality act through which con-
gress believed it was taking away
certain powers from the Chief Ex-
ecutiVe.
So, repeat that there is cause, il
appears, for criticism of some of the
Presidents foreign policies, but il
does not seem that critics have
joined issue with the Chief EXecu-
tive on any sound basis.
/ always have felt that there is
too much secrecy in general govern
mental administration. Unimpor-
tant squirts, holding unimportant
jobs, are forever and ever taking
themselves seriously to the point
where they would not admit it was
pouring down rain if it were raining
cats and dogs. From that level OF
officialdom on up and down the line,
one finds that sort of thing in our
government. l saw congressional
committee chairman refuse, just the
other day, to let newspaper men see

in the committee record, a record
that is as public as the light of day
1t was silly, but it was typical.

Par,.Anerica

German trade with Brazil grew
by leaps and bounds last year
thanks to the barter system, ie.,
German purchases were paid for
with "askimarks, which could be
redeemed only by taking German
goods in return. An upshot of De-
cember's Pan-American conference
was the realization that something
must be done to safeguard u. S.
trade with Brazil, crowded into Sec
ond place by the aggressive Reich
in 1888. Just arrived in Washington
is DR.. Oswaldo Aranha, Brazilian
foreign minister, for conversations
expected to have four significant re-
suits: Cd u. S. financial assistance
to Brazil via congressional loan,
credits to American merchants or
sterilization of Brazilian currency:
~ redivision of the world cotton
market; go increase of U. S. sales
to Brazil; "a examination of mutu-
al defense problems.
