Gives Another of His Great Per-

Gives Another of His Great Per-
formances in ''We Are Not Alone"
The new Paul MUM starring pic
ture. "We Are Not Alone" will be
tbe feature attraction at the Roxy
Theatre starting Monday for a 8
dav engagement. Written by the
author of Goodbye, Mr.. Chips, T"
James Hilton, and produced by
Warner Bros, the studio which has
produced such outstanding sue
cesses of the season as THE Old
Maid" and 1.-The Private Lives of
Elizabeth and Essex" "We Are
Not Alone" has all the elements
which mark truly great produc-
tion. A MUM film is always red
letter event, for the star who leads
the entire field of dramatic acting
makes only one year and that one
is certain to be worthy of his gen
ius. In 1885 it was THE Story of
Louis Pasteur," in 1886 it was "The
Good Earth" in 1887, "The Life of
Emile Zola," "Juarez" in 1888, and
now "'We Are Not Alone" for 1889
said to be of equal, if not higher
calibre as film entertainment than
any of these previous successes.
Appearing with him in the cast are
Jane Bryan, who received the role
as a reward for her brilliant dra-
matte work in THE Old Maid, -
Flora Robson, and a host of others.
1--WE Are Not Alone" starts in 1914
a parallel year to this one, for each
marks the beginning of a great
war. But the little country doctor
in a small English town is not con-
cerned about the world outside, for
his own world is troubled enough.
He is deeply concerned about his
son, a sensitive little fellow who is
completely misunderstood by his
mother, a severe, forbidding wom-
an. One night the doctor is called
" dLISIld q 14lL1C NACAACSS ddACSL ,
travelling with third-class thea
trical troupe, who has broken her
wrist. Unable to work, she is
stranded, and he treats her for sew
eral weeks, finds her strangely fas-
cinating. When he takes his son on
one of the visits, the child and the
girl get on SO well together that
he mentions it to his wife, who sug-
gests that they hire her as a gov
erness for him. The atmosphere Of
the doctors house changes with
Leni in it, but scandal is soon rife
in the village. To tell how the sit
uation is resolved would be to de-
tract from the tremendously NOV
ing quality Of the story.

81 800, 100000. The President re-
commended that agricultural ap-
preparations including crop control
and farm subsidy program be cut
26 per cent in the year beginning
July 1. The budget asks for $685.
255,707 for the Department of Ag-
riculture compared to this years
total of 81, ,239, ,640,97 exclusive of
funds for rural relief. This is a
proposed reduction of 1881 ,384 ,263
or about one-half of the estimated
net reduction of all government ex-
penditures for 1941.
THE FEDERAL DEBT passed

Treasury announced this week and
is rapidly approaching the legal
limit of As billions. 1t is report
ed the federal deficit this fiscal
year ending June 80 will be 1882
813, ,641. The President and Con-
gress are talking economy, but the
real test will soon come when ap-
preparation bills for 1941 are con-
sidered. Spending has been popu-
lar, particularly when funds have
been derived from sale of bonds in
stead of from taxation.
RECIPROCAL TRADE AGREE
MENTS- stage was set in the
Capitol last Thursday for what
promises to be the most bitterly
fought issue in this session when
Secretary of State Corden Hull ap-
peared before the House Ways and
Means Committee to advocate ex-
tension of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreement program for another
three years. The present Act will
expire June 12,1940. To critics,
the Secretary replied that this Act
was way of advancing domestic
prosperity and promoting world
peace and that mo portion of ag-
riculture has been injured by these
treaties" Committee opponents of
the program retorted that wars are
more prevalent than when the Act
was passed, and that the United
States business interests have been
damaged by concessions to foreign
goods.

GEORGE S. WILLIAMS

CONGRESS CONVENES = The
third session of the 10th Congress
convened January with the Gus
tomary excitement incident to the
message on the state of the Union
from the Chief Executive. Ostensi-
bly,, he appealed for national unity
as the fundamental safeguard of
democracy, but an analysis of the
address would indicate that it
largely constituted a defense of the
Administrations record for the
past seven years and advocated in
ternationalism as the salvation of
our country. The President sought
to defend the reciprocal trade
agreements as being not only bene-
fetal to American industry and ag-
riculture, but also as being more
desirable today than when the act
was first passed. The President
recognizes the widespread senti-
ment for peace in this country and
uses this background for present
ing views which frequently are diff
ficult to reconcile with strict neu-
trality.
1941 BUDGET 1941 budget
recommendation made by the
President presaged an administra-
tive effort to economize and reduce
the expected deficit which will ap-
proximate S4,OOO,OOO,OOO this year
with expenditures estimated at So
099, ,253, ,641 and revenues of $780,
100000. For the next year the ex-
penditures are placed at S8,424,-
191 $40 and revenues at S5,547,-
100000. After deducting return of
about S7OO,OOO,OOO from surplus
capital funds of federal agencies
and proposed new taxes for $780,

tiles for many now receiving fed

AS 1T APPEARS TO
Your Congressman

After usual delay and perilous
passage the Interior Appropriation
Bill passed the House last week.
Although it was born in the early
days of this session when the
spirit of economy was prevailing
in the House of Representatives, it
has not been so drastically cut as
might have bene. Several million
dollars are included in this bill for
the State of Arizona. According to
Congressman Rich of Pennsyl-
vania Is one Of the few states that
give" meaning that the Mountain
States receive more from the Fed
eral Treasury than they contribute
to the Federal Treasury. or course
we Westerners pointed out that
much of the taxable wealth in the
East has its origin in the natural
resources of the West, that con-
struction and improvements in the
West affords more employment in
the East in the furnishing of ma
terials, and again that an interior
appropriation bill necessarily and
logically lists larger appropria.
tions for the newer and more un-
developed portions of the country.
The mining communities may
not be aware of the intensity OF
the battle against silver. Some
Westerners appreciate hat an act
was passed last year which was
the greatest recognition OF silver
since 1873. for the Act of 1888
remonetized silver. The eastern
commercial and banking interests
are determined to repeal all legis'
lation beneficiaEy affecting silver
If within their power to do so.
Senator Townsend got bill
through the Senate which would
put a stop to the purchase OF
forign silver, but that is only a
starter. We Westerners urged
the Committee on Ways and
Means not to report out this Sill
yer Bill, but to send it back to the
Senate with a rebuke for its pass
