BRIDGES

Secretary of Labor PERKINS applies a sec.
ond coat Of whitewash to HARRY BRIDGES. the
%agitator. The first was given by JAMES M.
Lands, dean of the Harvard law school, who
was examiner in the long Investigation of
his status. So BRIDGES is free to remain in
the United States, instead of being sent back
to Australia, the land of his birth, as the i'm.
migration authorities declared he should be.
Technically, Miss PERKINS and Mr.. LANDS
may be right in their decision. But that

There is nothing in his record to show

which his deportation would better have

Man bout

By George Tucker

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Here is
some melancholy comedy for those
who place Importance on the pro
nouncements of film critics.
The other day the Manhattan
film reviewers gathered to vote on
the sbest" film of the year. The
purpose Of this is to recognize real
merit, If you are a critic you are
supposed to know the bad from the
good, if you lend your name TO
such a selection you presumably
want it to reflect some credit to
your judgment.
There were some 10 critics gath
cred to debate this selection. Pre-
sumably they all had their minds
made up before the voting began.
On the first ballot mi. Smith Goes
To Washington and Gone With
The Wind" received the largest num-
Der of votes. But neither polled a
two-thirds majority So they argued
and voted again, and argued some
more, until more than a dozen polls
had been taken.
In the end, most of the critics, who
are supposed to have some courage
with their convictions, surrendered
their opinions and ran in "Wuther-
ing Heights as a dark horse. AS
this polled the two-thirds majority,
the film critics then solmenly an
nounced that "Wuthering Heights
was the best movie of the year.
It seems to me that the New
York film critics have paid a high
price for their fun. Who, after this,
will pay any attention to anything
they have to say?
This little ditty is entitled go
ing down Mt. Hovenberg at 80 miles
an hour, or how to have fun in an
abandoned railroad station at $3.50
o'clock in the morning"
It also explains those stiff joints
Kay Kyser is toting around town
these days. 1t seems that Kay and
Ginny simms were taken up to Lake
Placid and crowned King and
Queen of Winter. After being round
ly feted, during which they were
taken down the famous bobsled run
BY two of the -four Stevens brothers,
who are Olympic champions, Kay,
Ginny, Hal Hackett (his manager),
and Paul Mosher (his press agent),
drove over to Westport, N. Y, to
catch an early train for New York.
It was about u below zero. The
King was slightly frost-bitten, and
the Queen was breathing plumes
of frost. AS they waited for the
train the station master came out
and announced that the little matter
of a wreck, up above on the line
somewhere, would delay matters a
bit. However" he added, make
yourselves comfortable. I got to go
home"
So the station-master went home,
and it became one o'clock in the
morning, and the stove became cold.
The Queen was in the waiting room,
just waiting, but the King decided
he had to have a little sleep. He
stretched out on a hard table of a
sort, with a castiron jack for a pill
low. Two o'clock came, and the King
groaned. Two-thirty came, and then
three. Still no train. Finally, at $3.50,
there was a splutter outside Their

try alone, although he will con-
suit with army and French air force
commanders.
In Great Britain, the r. A. F. is
an entirely separate armed service.
In his speech, the prime minis
ter gave no quarters to Nazi Ger
many and left no avenue for an
easy peace"
He warned the German people
that they Unjust realize that the
responsibility for the prolongation
of this war and all the suffering it
may bring in the coming year is
theirs, as we'll as that of the tyrant
who stands over them" He said,
however, that the idea that Britain
wants to 'annihilate" the German
people was a "fanta site and malic.
ious invention"
Agrees With F. d. r.
He profoundly agreed with
President Roosevelt's message to
the Pope in which Mr.. Roosevelt
said that the force of evil could
be overcome only by friendly asso'
citation by the seekers Of light and
peace everywhere. But, he added:
eff the forces of right are to pre-
vail, we must not hesitate to risk
our blood and our treasure to so
great an end"
The prime minister for the first
time touched on the idea of a United
States of Europe, a political dream
since the time of Napoleon and al
ready limited at by Edouard Dala-
der, the French premier.
Speaking warmly of the present
military, political, economic and fl
nancial cooperation between France
and Great Britain, he said it might
even develop into something wider
and deeper because there is nothing
which would do more to facilitate
the task of peaceful reconstruction
which has got to be undertaken
sometime; there is nothing which
would contribute more toward the
permanence of it's results than the
extension of Anglo-French collabo-
ration in finance and economics to
other nations in Europe and Indeed
perhaps of the whole world"
He suggested that Britain and
France were finding their alliance
so valuable that when the war is
over neither of us will want to give
it up"
BY contrast Chamberlain called
the alliance between Germany and
Soviet Russia IAN unholy pact"
Little Finland, he said, was fight
ing against the forces of unscrup-
ulous violence, just az we are, our.
Selves"
He promised that Britain's aid to
Finland, pledged through the League
of Nations, will be no mere for
mality."
Much of Chamberlain's 55-minute
speech, broadcast to the United
States and many other parts of the
world, was devoted to a report on
the progress of the war and warn
ings of the struggle that must come.
Land and air events so far he de-
scribed as merely preliminary" to
the real conflict. He found the sea
the only place where he could say
war was "in full operation" and he
termed Britain's progress there mot
unsatisfactory"
By capture, sinking. land above
all, scuttling," he said the German
fleet, which at the beginning Of the
war was less than a quarter of
Britain's, had lost 228, 900 tons.
Most of it, he went on, was bottled
up in the Baltic or in foreign ports.
