heard and seen at a rehearsal last
week, is sometimes as hot" as any

And on the hallowed Metropolitan
podium will be Richard Rodgers,

Hollywood, directing his own music.
He might have a good chuckle over
1t, too, If he recalls his last movie
success, "On Your Toes" which in
cluded a burlesque on the Russian
ballet.
"Ghost Town" is almost an all

toff, new 25-year-old star of the
ballet who was born in Pasadena,

Seattle, where he learned his art
in the nationally known Maryann
Wells School. The scenery is by
a 27-year-old American, Raoul Rene

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

The week began with a smile, a
royal idyll, for away up in Toronto
five little girls were received by the
king and the queen of Great Britain:
the Dionne quintuplets made the very
first journey of their lives for the
purpose of meeting tall and smiling
king, a gracious queen who looked
happy when they kissed her-alto-
gether, pretty picture of the kind
you usually find only in the story
books embellished by vivid magma
ton.
But at about the hour when the
king bent down to whisper some
thing into the ear of one of the
Dionne girls, his foreign minister was
sitting in far-away Geneva wrestling
with problems of supreme importance:
Lord Halifax, representing His Males
tvs government, was in conference
with Georges Bonnet, foreign min
lister of France, and with Ivan Maisky,
Soviet ambassador to the court of st.
James.
The occasion was the meeting of
the Council of the League of Nations,
and the most urgent matter was that
of forming military alliance between
Great Britain, France and Soviet
Russia.

Groupings.

For more than two months attempts
to cement such coalition have been
going on, and they had failed because
the British would not concede the
right of Russia to expect as much of
England and France in case of war
as they preferred to expect of Russia.
Time and again the British had made
concessions, always coming closer to
the Russian demands which were in
flexible; not susceptible to flattery
or compromise. And as these lines
are being written, word comes that
a treaty of complete military alliance
between the three powers is just about
ready-on the terms which the Soviets
have laid down; one of the indications
that agreement was imminent was
found in the statement that confer
ence had been planned between the
heads of the general stats of the three
powers. Such a conference must,
almost necessarily, be predicted upon
an alliance. So it looks as though
Russia is about to register a diplo-
matte triumph, timid Chamberlain
another defeat.

Willow Man Hears DIR. Ed
Guard Benes Predict An
Early Fall of DictatOrs.

Edward Bohaty of Willow River,
attended a lecture presented by DR..
Edouard Benes, former Czech presi-
dent, at the Duluth armory last Thurs
day evening. DR.. Benes, exiled from
his native country of Czechoslovakia,
rendered a very enlightening address
before a great audience.
With reference to the relationships
which now claim so much of the
worlds attention today, DR.. Benes
said that they are doomed to dis
appear in the near future, and that
out of the collapse of the authoritar-
ian states there will come a new
period of peace, decency and devel-
opment for all Europe. He stated
that in his opinion, Czechoslovakia
will be a free nation again in the
not distant future. 'No one knows
whether it will be war or a great
series of upheavals and revolution
airy descriptions" said the speaker,
"but it is certain that the dictator
ships cannot continue for long. The
same reaction which proved the
downfall of democracy after the
World war will mean the destruc-
ton of the totalitarian systems that
supplant it,"
Touching on the dismemberment of
Czechoslovakia, DR.. Benes said that
while the republic had been concili-
atory from the very first, 1--WE could
not foresee such an agreement as was
made at Munich. The main reason of
our acceptance was that four of the
great European powers solemnly
signed document which promised to
the Czech people the guarantee of its
independence and the safeguard of its
new frontiers" And the world was
shocked a few weeks later to see that
document become "just another sheet
of paper"

Camp At Crindstone

Several township chairmen in the
clothing project met at Sandstone
Friday evening, May 10, to discuss
plans for holding rest camp for
homemakers for three days during
the summer.
The ST. Croix Recreational park
was discussed, but it was found that
this would be in use up until after
school started. The Bible Camp at
Grindstone Lake was discussed, and
this will be available for the camp.
At present it is planned to hold the
camp at this place.
This camp would be a place where
women could 60 for three days rest
and vacation during the summer. 1t
would not be limited to women en-
rolled in the clothing project. 1t is
estimated that the cost would be 81
plus some food, and each person
would have to bring her own bedding
and cot.
Anybody interested is invited to see
