HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD
BY PAUL HARRISON

(NEA Service STAN Correspondent
Hollywood-All over the lot:
have q notion that the big boss Of
Paramount once sent an order to
the coast to make lots of topical
pictures. And that through secre-
tarial error or inis-reading, 1t came
out tropical"
Anyway, they're still building rev
:ngles and refurbishing Id South
Sea islands on the lot. All the par
rots in Hollywood with Hays Once
approved vocabularies, seem to have
taken up residence at the studio
and there are middle-aged monkeys
around the place which don't re-
member any other home.
Even slick Fredric March has
been established on one Of these
sets. He's the recluse of Joseph Con-
RAIDS Victory and his companion
In synthetic loneliness Is Betty
Field. She's wearing sarong, too.
It's not surprising that Dorothy
Lamour is back in another eQua-
torial epic called Moon Over Bur-
ma" What's news Is that she
DOESN'T wear a sarong this time
and that she'll try snake charming.
Having charmed almost everything
else-chimpanzees, panthers, seals,
elephants, alligators and Robert
Preston-she's about to work with a
King Cobra.

ELECTION YEARS
AND THE WPA
Riverside Press

1t must be conceded that the coinci-
dental rise and fall of WPA rolls during
election and non-election years have been
at least rather remarkable.
This is election year, therefore politi-
cal manipulation of relief funds has be-
gun again. AS it looks now the campaign
of 1910 is to be debauched by payroll
padding for the purpose of inducing and
coercing needy voters to support the
third-term ticket.
The WPA added 10000 persons to the
payroll during July, and it is announced
by Administrator Harrington that his
schedule calls for an increase to 1,S00,-
600 workers by October and to 100000
in November. Thus the expenditure for
relief will rise from S110,000,000 in July
to more than S14O,O0O,O0O before cleo
ton day, and no doubt will taper off
during the months following.
And this increased relief spending will
occur in face of the fact that the admin
istration boasts of improved employment
conditions in private industry. 1t is ad-
mitted that there is a scarcity of certain
kinds of labor needed in national defense,
and some of these workers have been
put on necessary defense projects, but
since President Roosevelt took office the
creased from June to October in odd-num-
bered years, but has very substantially
increased during the even-numbered years
VIXEN there were presidential and con-
gressional elections.
Under the notorious political spend
er, Harry Hopkins, the WPA invariably
padded the payroll during election years.
The increased relief spending June to
October during election years was as
follows: in 1884, 11.6 per cent: in 1886,
lid per cent; and in 1888 1872 per cent.
In non-election years the payroll was
reduced during June to October as fol-
lows: In 1888, 15.4 per cent; 1885, go
per cent; in 1887, 1863 per cent and in
1889, 25.5 per cent. The record is official,
indisputable,-an abominable
After year of Harry Hopkins nobody
expected the WPA to be untainted by
political use of public money. But public
assurances were given that the WPA
under Colonel Harrington had been purg-
ed of the Hopkins system of disuse of
public money.
Now it appears that politics again
requires use of the WPA to help the third
term attempt of the New Deal presiden-
tial candidate
With Wendell Willkie on the job
dS nepuDllcdn nominee IOf PRESIDENT,
however, one thing is pretty certain, and
that is that padding the WPA rolls for
the 1910 election will not be done in Sc
cret. Mr. Willkie has already called the
attention of the public to what is going
on and there is no doubt that the fact
will be widely publicized with more
than probable result that for every vote
the third-term might so gain they will
lose countless votes cast against them
by disguised and disillusioned citizens.

The war of the bombers, the war
of the tanks and troops, now shakes
Europe. 1t is there for all to see.
But there is a way in which this
war is different from the World
War of 1914-1918 What goes on in
Europe today is more like the Ma
poleonic wars, when the armies of
the French revolution swept across
Europe, bearing banners with the
strange device, Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity" Those armies began as
evangels for liberty. But they turn
ed their crusade into imperialistic
adventure. The world combined to
halt them.
Today the German, italian and
Russian armies are also afire with
crusading zeal. Believing that de-
mocracy is dying they fling them
selves into an effort to propagate
a new system totalitarianism. They,
too. gradually see that zeal turn in
to the merest grasping imperialism
That is the military phase of this
war.
The war behind the war. how
ever, is war for mems minds. Even
countries like our own, not directly
in the line of fire and resolved to
keep out of the military phase of
the war, are participants in the war
for mems minds. 1t is war to de-
termine whether men shall remain
free or resign themselves to au-
thority. Many of us are confused.
Many of us say, What difference
does it make? Is either plan more
than a mere machinery for running
mems affairs?"
The answer is yes. 1t is much
more. And in an effort to make
clear the nature of these tWo
opposing systems, we set down some
Of the differences:
Democracy
Government is a machinery set
up by free men and women to
serve their ends as they wish them
served, with all equal before laws
whose power over people has def
mite limits.
People have the right to think
and say and print what they wish;

The, War Behind the War

out of free discussion will come
from the great reservoir of the peo-
pies wisdom the right decisions for
the benefit of all.
Man. of the immortal soul and
the reasoning mind, man the ing,
vidual, is the highest good, at Whoss'
development all measures ought to
be directed.
Morality, fixed standards of right
and wrong, ought to govern action.
TOtalitarianism
Government is a machinery set up
by an elite class and run by that
class in such a way as TO control all
the energies and activities of all
people for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the state.
People have no rights except
those given them by the elite class,
which will determine what they
ought to think. and say, and print
and will enforce their dicta by any
means they choose.
Man exists only as a worker, as
a soldier, as a member of a group
or organization. Apart from these
groups, he is nothing; and the
great group is the state.
Whatever serves the ends of the
state. is right-the end justifies any,
means.
One could go on to show these
antitheses at greater length. But
the point is clear. All peoples, whe-
ther or not they are affected by
the actual war of arms, are engaged
in this war of wills. this conflict of
ideas. 1t is bigger than. and it will
outlaSt, the war of arms.

Bruce Cation
In Washington
By BRUCE CATION

WASHINGTON, Sept. Sine
whole argument over the draft
capital amendment to the con-
scription bill has overlooked the fact
that under existing law the gov
eminent may do just about as much
in the way of communicating in
dustrial plants during a defense
emergency as it could do if the
Russell Overton amendment were
adopted.
Chief difference is the fact that as
the law stands now these powers
could not be exercised unless the
nation were at war, or unless the
president had decreed a national
emergency due to the imminence
of war. Under the RuSSell-Overton
amendment, the powers could be
exercised without such conditions.
PRESIDENT MAY
SEIZE PLANT
These broad powers come largely
from title so, section 80 of the
United States code. 1t provides
that sin time of war or when war
is imminent" the president, acting
through the head of any govern
ment department, may place an or
der for any sort of defense ma
terial with any person, firm, as
ISOLATION or corporation, subject
only to the limitation that the ma
terial ordered must be of a sort
which the firm in question ordin-
arily produces, or is capable of pro-
ducing.
Compliance with such an order is
obligatory, and the order must take
precedence over any other order on
fuses to fill the oder, or refuses to
fill it a price which the secretary
of war considers reasonable, the
president may take immediate pos
session of the plant and, through
the army ordnance department
manufacture the necessary goods.
This section of the law is actu-
ally a good deal sitter than the
Russell-Overton amendment in the
matter of penalties which an offend
ing manufactures might receive.
FINE OF $4,000
PERMITTED
The Russell-Overton amendment
states that when a plant is COM
mandeered the government must
institute condemnation proceed
ings, with the court fixing what it
considers fair and just rate of
compensation. No criminal penalty is
provided.
Under the existing law, however,
no condemnation proceedings are
necessary, and the price the manu-
facturer is to get is simply fixed
by the government. Furthermore,
failure to comply with the law is
made a felony, and a recalcitrant
manufacturer could be fined $4,000
and imprisoned for three years.
SENATE KILLED
REPEALER
Three months ago congress gave
practically the powers granted by
the Russell OVerton amendment to
the secretary of the navy, as far
as orders for naval material was
concerned Section 8, subsection B,
of House Bill 1922, which became
law on June g, says that the Sec
rotary, whenever he deems any ex-
isting manufacturing plant or ia
cility necessary for the national de-
Tense. and whenever he is unable
