according to one G. Gould Lincoln.
Democratic Senator, is that the
nomination of Mr.. Farley would
raise the religious issue, since Mr.
Farley is Catholic.
Certainly it is true that the re-
ngious issue was raised against
Alfred E. Smith, former Governor OF
New York, when he ran for Presi-
dent in 1928. So strongly was it
raised that four States of the Demo-
cratic solid South" switched over to
the Republican column that year.
More Tolerance Seen Today.
Friends Of Mr.. Farley contend
however, that today the country is
more tolerant. They point out that
In 1928 the Republicans were in
power and the country prosperous
making 1t difficult for any Democrat
who might have been nominated to
win. They point out, too, that the
prevailing sentiment that year was
dry" and that Al Smith was buck
ing that sentiment, running as a
wet. In addition they say that
Jim Farley has a host of friends
from Maine to California and from
Illinois to Louisiana-while Al Smith
scarcely was known to the Demo
Gratis, except by name, west of the
Hudson River. For these reasons
they insist that Farley would be a
formidable candidate if nominated
On the other hand, it is asserted
that many Catholics of high stand
ing in this country do not wish tc
have the religious issue revived in
politics now A cardinal, now dead
Is said to have told the President
as much, and to have added that in
due time Catholic doubtless would
be nominated and elected President
but that he would probably come
from the Middle West, not from New
York.
Mr.. Farley is Postmaster General
He managed the 1882 and 1886 cam
paigns which resulted in two cleo
tions for President Roosevelt. He
has been the devoted friend of the
President. He doesn't see why he

And this will be of utmost value to
this country.
Heretofore the White House and
State Department have had to relv
on reports from the various Am
bassadors in Europe. The Ambas-
sadors in Paris and in London are
held in high esteem in these two
capitals and know as a rule what is
going on.

Kinks Sources Dry.
In Berlin the Charge dAffaires,
Alexander Kirk, is an excellent real
lstlc diplomat, but on account of the
peculiar diplomatic relatio be-
tween Germany and the United
states his sources are as dry az
Melba toast.
Mussollni and Hitler realized from
the beginning the high importance
OF Mr.. Welles' visit They opened up
TO MIN with greater candor than
they have to any foreigner who has
visited Rome and Berlin in recent
years. The announcement in WASH

be strictly of the record was a great
help, too.
In Mr.. Welles II Duce and Der
F'uehrer found a cold, Unconditional
"stlck-to- facts" man. Unlike
most special ENJOYS. he carried with
him neither soporifc ointment nor
a Dig stick. He asked pertinent
questions and received frank an

record for that era-she got $1,000
a day. She played there for three
weeks and on the last week the

the head usher stopped Shaw and

and blandly told the usher that he
would sit in his trousers-an calm

In Bill Shakespeare's day, actors,

were held in such scsrlt regard that
they had to explain themselves to

At the opening of Anthony and

the leading lady by the hand and
the following bit of dialogue ensued:
Have I ever behaved to you in an

Have I ever been guilty of any

Dear me no-dear mel"

when Olga Petfoya appeared IN
1.-THE White Peacock" she had a
scene with an actor named Perkins.
In one town, during rehearsals,
Olga was warned that the audience
would laugh out loud at one of her
more STACEY bits of emoting. In this
scene, it appears, she would clutch
her bosom with both mitts and ex-
claim: This Is the essence of loveiy
In spite of the warnings, Petrova

stormed offstage and emoted to the
stage manager: Don't bring up the
curtain for bows-I will punish
