that he offer some evidence, that he

This Dies has refused to do. He
has likewise refused to permit 'ordi-

has precipitated a rumpus within the

nevertheless true that it is more than
100000 greater than seasonal decline
year ago.
While there are no official figures
available as yet for the month of
February, preliminary confidential
reports disclose that unemployment
increased during the month. Some
figures place the present unemploy-
ment roll considerably in excess of
100000.
One of the reasons given for the
downward business trend is that large
inventories were built up in anticipa-

If you want to know what the voters
are going to do, watch the faces OF
the kids in line at any matinee They
are eager faces: eager to learn and
eager to believe They are going to
see knights of the Range" or 1.-THE
Singing Cowboy" By watching them
you may be able to tell what they
are going to do when they become
voters. They are being taught that
there are good people and bad people,
and that the good ultimately prevails.
Or perhaps they are being taught that
there are strong people and weak peo-
pie, and that the weak must band to-
gether to overthrow the strong. They
are being taught that America is a
land of amending progress and abund-
ance-or would be if only the Right
People could have the running of it.
But somehow the Right People never
have the say
Well assume that we know what
the voters are going to do this year.
My point is that we have no right to
look upon the present generation as
hopeless to save and upon the grow
ing generation as possessing the
worlds salvation. After ALL we are
training those youngsters. We write
the books, we make the pictures, we
organize the schools for them. We
trace delicate and not-so-delicate pat
terms in their minds when they are
very small

| films would help toward a better I'M
lderstanding of human problems.
That is only partly true. An artis-
/ tic production is not a prime mover
but symptom. The problem to be
explored is: what is it symptom of?
III Steinbeck's novel, Grapes of
Wrath" is a symptom of an increase
in understanding of human lives and
|of sympathy for human rights-all to
the good. | realize that the movie
makers bumped themselves to get
into the film Steinbeck's sense of liv-
ing history, but | am afraid they
failed How badly they failed remains
to be seen. My own dubiety testifies
that the human drama, the struggle
against odds, scared up magnificently
out of control, and the social epic
trailed behind.
Nevertheless, l am not too disap-
pointed l heard the youngsters say
ing, oh that damn thing. Too much
misery. 1t doesn't have happy end
ing. 1t doesn't even have any ending
at all" That is good sign. The
people cannot wholly reject the pic
ture, even those who take it hungrily
to their hearts for what it does not
wholly mean.
| cannot believe that any one pic
ture helps much toward better under
standing of human problems. The
thing is the other way round The
understanding or the will toward it
had to exist and ripen before the pic
ture could be made. But each adj
vance in picture making educates the
public mind tiny fraction Of a unit.
1t helps people admit what they have
already understood. Some day per-
haps we will represent ourselves to
ourselves as we really are instead of
as angels fighting forever against the
loathsome forces of the dark. Some
day we may even understand why we
thought So
Few of us have yet fully grasped
the importance of moving pictures as
But the persons who
make the films are not unaware
They know exactly what l have been
saying these many weeks: that peo-
pie are lonely without enemies and
starved for struggle, and that an i'm
age that moves and talks on a silver
screen is a fair enough substitute for
reality. They are aware too that.
since reality exists inside the head
of the beholder, the insubstantial i'm
ages of the talking screen can change
the shape and tempo of the world for
millions of humans Yet this, like all
other propagandas, giants created out
of the vastly depths of ourselves, fol-
lows for the most part and does not
lead. He is our master who will be
our slave when we realize our strength
to make him kneel.
Make no mistake about it: the peo-
pie want reality, and they will grasp
whatever looks like it. That is why
they have been taken in so generous
ly by the talking screen. Their crit
zeal Judgment grows slowly, and they'll
believe in figures that walk and talk,
no matter how silly their movements
sooner than they will in those that
perform more credibly on the printed
pages of books.
Just watch them go for the bigger
motion picture of this
election year. The characters will
walk and talk, and their words will
sound familiar 1t will be only after
the show that we will realize it was
only a series of images on silver
screen.

Dear Sir:

February 81 entitled "a Racket
prompt me to break a silence of sew
eral months duration and proffer few
remarks concerning the slot machine
and gambling "rackets" in Montana.
Your point, that the fact that slot
machines and gambling is conducted
openly in Montana means that some
one is getting a "rakeoff,' is exceed
ingly we'll taken. In fact from the
best available figures, the amount of
protection money" paid in the state
runs in the neighborhood of $3,924,000
annually. This protection money is
used to debauch public officials, yet
it does not in reality provide salts
factory protection" to those who pro-
vide it for our present gambling law
does not permit the playing of games
of chance for anything but "hickeys"
or trade checks and any citizen can
at any time compel the officers to
close a gambling game and arrest the
operators Therefore the gambler OPP
orators are paying for protection that
does not actually protect. Yet gam
bling flourishes openly in practically
every town in the state. The only
conclusion to be drawn from the fore

Dear Editor:
Still believing the Peoples Voice is
as its name indicates and an open
forum for public and personal opinion
| herewith submit few remarks.
First | want to refer to an editorial
on the Finnish question appearing in
the Peoples Voice for January H.,
which contends that it is not little
Finland that is fighting puppet
government of bankers and generals
that has been used by foreign vested
interests as springboard against the
Soviet Union. Assertions are also
made that Finland was contemplating
an invasion of Russia. Does 1t make
sense for one Finn to go against 40
Russians?
Perhaps | am mistaken. But it
sounds communistic, as similar asser-
lions on the Finnish-Russian question
in the communistic paper the
Daily Worker" also in the magazine
called Soviet Russia Today" Re
CARELESS of all these assertions, fav-
orable to Russia, 1t is still self-eyident
that the Finnish people are united in
fight for freedom, otherwise the Fin
nish people could not have shown up

BY BURDETTE JAY

HOLLYWOOD. Dec. 28.-The
most bizarre garment in the mo-
ton picture colony is John Loder's
dressing gown which he wears
between scenes of Scotland Yard"
at Twentieth Century-Fox.
The gown resembles a "crazy
quilt" with patches of every con-
ceivable color and fabric. One
section of il is even lace dyed red.
Back in 1928 the robe was just
the conventional black m o e,
though considerably worn. John
was making THE Doctors Secret, ="
opposite Ruth Chatterton. when he
caught il on a nail and tore IL.
Miss Chatterton said she would
undertake repairs. AS joke she
patched it with a piece of purple
silk from a dress.
That set the ball rolling and
from then on every actress who
played opposite John contributed
a patch TO the robe. Madeleine
Carroll sewed on the red lace. 9th
ers who contributed patches were
Alice Faye, Betty Cradle. Con-
stance Bennett. lisa Miranda. Dani-
ellie Darrieux, Corrine Griffith.
