This campaign will be no pillow

ished by the President for taking
walk by being called sweat-shop.
The President padded Johnny Hane
and Lew Douglas by saying they
think more of dollars than humanity.
I can't get excited about any of
this. Jim Reed isn't sweat-shop.
An attractive lady in Kansas City
named Nellie Donnelly got the idea
of applying automobile quantity
production methods to the manufac-
ture of women's dresses. This made
them at low cost and high excel
lence. Accordingly, she began to
make so much money that a gang
kidnapped her. Jim was her lawyer.
This made him so mad that he
swore to rescue her without a ran
som and to Jail her abductors. This
he duly did and his righteous wrath,

NAH REVOLUTION

When Nazi troops marched into
Poland, September l., 1889, Adolf
Berle, assistant secretary of state
and Roosevelt brain truster, re-
marked: "This is the beginning of
the world revolution"
The War-or revolution-has now
been in progress for II months and
every report coming back from Ger
many indicates the truth of Berle's
words.
For what most people do not real
ize about Germany is that the Nazis
are fighting with a crusading revo-
lutionary fervor. They are staging
social revolution. Their redistri-
button of wealth in Germany makes
Stains look sick.
Today in Germany the free bust
ness man has almost vanished. He
is working for the government. All
his raw materials come from the
government. His credit is arranged
by the government. Exchange is
regulated by the government, and
prices are manipulated almost daily
py the government.
Today in Germany also, the in
dustrialist who owns an automobile
does not dare to drive it to work.
1t would be taken away from him,
and he would be Kissed off the
streets. Only Nazi officials ride in
cars. Others ride bicycles.
Real fact is that Germany has
borrowed Karl Marx back from Rus
STA and made it work.

G. O. p. MUTTERS

Privately, some of the G. o. P.
farm leaders in congress are most
enthusiastic about the prominence
of Iowa's Gov. George Wilson in
Wendell Wilkes agricultural cam
paign.
The Capitol Hill group, who have
devoted a lot of time and effort to
preaching Republican doctrine in the
grain belt, and who carried the ball
on the farm plank, don't consider
Governor Wilson to be any farm
spokesman.
However, it is possible that the
real cause of the politicos' mutter-
ing is the fact that Wilson stole a
march on them, by climbing aboard
the Willkie bandwagon while they
were still pooh-poohing Willkie as
serious contender.

JAPAN'S RAMPAGE

U. S. intelligence reports from the
Far East stated late in July that
Japan would join the Axis officially
and actively just as soon as Hitler
launches his big blitzkrieg on Brit
ain.
Meanwhile, the Japanese military
have adopted the policy of causing
as many incidents as possible to
annoy the United States and to fan
them up in the Japanese press.
There is no question in the minds
of U. S. officials that this strategy
is being worked out in cooperation
with Hitler and has two ends in
view:
First, to keep the American pub
lie worried about the Far East, so
that the White House cannot be-
come too absorbed with the plight
of England during Hitler's blitz-
krieg.
Second, to convince the Japanese
public that there is nothing to fear
from the United States. The more
the Japanese press attacks this coun-
try, and the more American citi-
zens are beaten up in Shanghai,
the more the Japanese public will
be led to believe that the United
States is powerless to send armed
forces across the Pacific.
Then when this conviction is thor
oughly embedded, the military will
make their long contemplated drive
into the Dutch East Indies.
Note-Looking further ahead, U.
S. observers in the Orient also are
convinced that when Hitler gets
ready for his drive into South Amer
lea, Japan will strike toward the
Pacific coast of South America 81
multaneously.
Russia-U. S. Allies?
All of this demonstrates the fact
that the United States, if it is not to
be left entirely alone in the Pacific,
must move quickly and must secure
friends. To date, there are only
two potential friends worth worry
ing about.
No. / is Great Britain, which in
fact is Americas first line of de-
Tense, and which might be saved if
the United States gave major aid.
No. is Russia, the natural enc
my of Japan, whom Japan fears
more than she fears the United
States. A hook-up between Russia
and the United States could ham,
string Japan, keep her powerless in
the North Pacific.
That is why the Roosevelt-Bullitt
statement denouncing Russia is so
important. Bullitt was the man who
persuaded Roosevelt

HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD
BY PAUL HARRISON

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Hollywood.-All over the lot: Er- rol Flynn has more beautiful girl- cousins, probably, than anybody else in the world. Remarkable thing about them is their unvarying at- tractiveneSs. They all seem to live around here somewhere, and they come, one at a time, to visit him on the set of santa Fe Trail".
 First it was nieces. The hand- some actor used to telephone the front office saying: T have a niece visiting here, a Miss So- and-so, who'd like to come on the set this afternoon. Will you have someone bring her out?"
 After five beautiful nieces had been made welcome, somebody re- minded Flynn, that he has no brothers and only one sister, who is quite young and unmarried. And Hymns wife, Lih Damita has neither brothers nor sisters.
 So now it's cousins. As this is written, the seventh lovely cousin is being shown around the lot. A SCRIPT THAT
 WENT TO TONNE
 Gene Towne and Graham Baker, a celebrated writing team, are do- ing very well these days as picture makers. It's big business, and they now hire other writers to do their screen plays. When I expressed some surprise that production tasks could occupy all their time, Towne said: ''It isn't exactly lack of time. It's economy. Graham and I had meeting and decided that we couldn't afford to pay ourselves the salaries we would have to get as writers"
 After filming succession of semi mi-classics-"S Swiss Family Robin son." From Browns Schooldays' and Little Men"-Towne and Ba- ker now are lining up program of original, modern stories. Towne said an agent brought him story the other day which he read and liked. But the yarn semed fa- miliar, somehow. He was afraid it might have been lifted from some magazine or previous film, SC he demanded to know it's authorship and antecedents before he'd talk terms.
 The agent investigated and re. ported the story had been writer and sold 10 years ago by Gent Towne himself.
 But that wasn't the most sur prising thing. When the produce asked the price. the agent said twenty-five thousand dollars. Towne probably didn't get nor than $15,000 or $20,000 when h. sold it. But the studio that own it has spent a fortune on it fo various screenplay versions done b, other expensive writers such a Ben Hecht.
 Don't print the name of the stu dio," Towne requested. "The stock holders would get upset"

tha Scott the film re-tells the story of the American Revolution having been adapted from Elizabeth Pages best-selling novel, 'sThe Tree of Lib- erty."
 It was for freedom and democracy that ''The Towards of Virginia1 fought: Mat Howard, the stalWart, earnest man of the soil portrayed by Grant; Jane Peyton Howard, the gracious, beautiful Virginia belle portrayed by lovely Martha Scott.
 These two, co-stars in one of the most dramatic and most memorable of all motion pictures, appear to per- lection in the title roles. Together, they build home and a family in the wilderness, far from the society into which Jane Peyton was born, far from the governing class whom Matt Howard detests. But, with the passage of time, there comes a change in the temper of the people. Jane Peyton's aristrocratic family and friends join forces with Matt Towards untamed frontier neigh DOTS, .bO QI1tC bA1C SA AbAoAA 00e VA America, to set up their own govern ment.
 Too much praise cannot be ac- corded Grant, whose performance as Matt Howard is a far cry from the light comedy roles which first won him fame; too much praise cannot be accorded Miss Scott, who also proves herself one of the screens greatest performers too much praise cannot be accorded Sir Cedric Hardwicks, Alan Marshal, Richard Carlson and others of the splendid cast.
 All in all here is one of the most memorable screen adventures of our geenration-a picture that every man, woman and child should see. Plan now to see it before the clos ing performances Saturday even- ing.
 And on the same show is "Glamor For Sale" with Roger Pryor and Anita Louise.

Apparently the guards at the doors of the Kitty Foyle" sound stage have assumed that this man not only is a rustic char acter actor, but member of the cast. He gets by on innocence in stead of guile.
