BRIDGES CASE
IRKS LEGION

PASADENA, Cal, Jan. 2 GN.S0.
Delay in deportation proceedings
against Harry Bridges, militant
West Coast CIO leader, brought a
sharp rebuke from Stephen F.
Chadwick, of Seattle, national
commander of the American
Legion.
Declaring Bridges and others ap-
parently wish to delay the case,
the Seattle attorney said:
1T has been my experience
that those in doubt of the out
come usually seek to postpone
court proceedings.
I'VE are not satisfied with
Secretary Of Labor Perkins rea-
sons for insisting on delay of the
issue until after the Supreme
Court acts on a similar case"
The legion will work for ade.
quate appropriations for the Dies
congressional committee inveSti,
eating un-American ctiVitie S,
Chadwick stated.
This committee has thrashed
o lot of straw, but it has also de-
livered a lot of wheat, consider
ing its meager allotment of
$25, ,000," the legion head added.

IMMIGRATION
EASING HIT

U.N.S.) Stiff opposition to re-
Taxation of immigration laws for
special consideration to oppressed
minoritieS in Germany or other
foreign countries is expressed by
members of the Senate Immigra-
ton Committee.
A consensus of committee mem
bers, in Washington prior to the
opening of Congress, revealed a
thorough sympathy with German
Jews and other minoritieS but q
determination that this Nation
must first guarantee the welfare
of its own citizens.
The sentiment of a majority
Of the committee was expressed
by Chairman Russell (D0, of
Georgia, when he said:
"As a civilized people we have
responsibility to do what we
can to assist these unfortunate
people, but we cannot afford to
open the doors of this country
when we are unable to provide
reasonable standard of living
to our own people, or our for
eign.born citizens"
Senator King Cd, of Utah, q
ranking member of the commit.
tee, expressed similar view. He
said any movement proposing re.
vision of the immigration laws to
extend this Nations hospitality to
minority groups must proceed
cautiously.

GOebbels Notified
Of His DenOtiOn
Hitler Aide Loses
High Post Due
To Scandal

BASLE, Switzerland, Jan. 2.
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels has been notified that
the price of his philandering with
Ida Baarova, beautiful Czech
motion picture actress, will be
demotion to district leadership Of
the Nazi party in Berlin.
This report reached here today.
An envoy of Reichsfuehrer Hit
Ter called on the minister at his
Wannsee home, where he Is con-
valescing from the effects of a
beating administered 10 days ago
by friends of Gustav Froelich,
Baarova's actor husband, who was
sent to concentration camp last
october after challenging DR..
GoebbelS to a duel.
Goebbels will not be deprived
Immediately of his ministerial
powers, as Hitler is anxious not to
damage party prestige by an alb
rupt change which would call for
some explanation to the German
people.
The clipping of Goebbels' wings
will take place gradually, but the
first Office of which he will be de-
prived, it was learned, will be that
of theater and motion picture
control.
1t was in his capacity as movie
czar that he met and became in
fstuated with Baarova several
months ago.
The control of the Nazi press
and broadcasting will pass bit by
bit from the propaganda ministry

New Trans-Sea Fleet
Reported Planned

LONDON, Jan. 2 G.N.S).-Ger-
many may again build huge and
powerful submarines, capable Of
crossing the Atlantic Ocean to
the United States, it was indi-
Gated today, following the return
to London of the British naval
delegation which went to Berlin
to discuss the Reich's future naval
plans.
Although British official quar-
terS were silent on the reports, the
Sunday Dispatch and other British
newspapers suggested Chancellor
Hitler might revive the old threat
of the Imperial German naval
menace to American shores based
on submarine strength.
CONFERENCE FAILS
The British delegation, which
conferred in Berlin on Germany'S
determination to increase her
navy by taking advantage of the
maximum rights aCcruing to her
under the Anglo-German Naval
Pact, returned here without hav-
ing reached an agreement. This
was made clear in a Berlin COM
munique, which said:
The representatives of the
British admiralty who arrived in
Berlin on December 20 held
scheduled discussions with the
representatives of the German
navy regarding the questions
of the Anglo German pacts of
1885 and 1887.
The discussions occurred in
a very friendly spirit. Repre-
SentativeS of the two govern
mentS presented their mutual
experiences regarding the points
in question. A conclusive COM
munication of the German gov
ernment will be submitted to
the British government in writ
ing"
PAR WITH BRITAIN SEEN
Commenting on the situation.
the Sunday Times, in q Berlin
dispatch, declared it is believed
Germany intends to increase her
submarine tonnage possibly up to
100 per cent of the British sub
marine fleet. The German sub
marines under this reported pro-
gram would be capable of oper-
ating effectively on the high seas
as well as in the North and Baltic
Seas.
According to News Of the
World, Germany's reported inten-
ton to build submarine parity
with Britain is understood to be
intended as a reply to the deci-
sion of the United States to main
tain a new Atlantic Ocean naval
squadron.
Nazi Germany, 1t was said, re-
CARDS the United States action as
a hostile naval demonstration.
An accurate estimate of Ger
many'S motives cannot be made,
however, until the size and num-
ber Of submarines she plans to
build are made known, the Sun
day Dispatch stated.

States long enough to become a
naturalized citizen. Therefore, 1t
may be argued that he paints in the
way he does from choice or because
of undeveloped mentality. Undoubt-
edly he has power of expression, but
what does he express and how does
he express it. Art is means to an
end-and as Nadia Boulanger is
quoted as having said with reference
to music-one must try to do ones
own work with enough love and
enough care to make it represent
ones very best. She, too. although
fully hospitable to that which is es-
sentially modern, insists on beauty.
rs it not she continued. mainly
through beauty that we reach the
spiritual part of life which is the
whole purpose of our existence and
its only goal?'
In his paintings of flowers Bur-
liuk does evidence a sense of beauty
and a desire to make it known, but
even here he is sorely handicapped
by the power to express himself
competently and beautifully. To
find the majority of Burliuks works
funny is to discount the artists sim
cerity. The fact is that they are
simply sad.
