Writes Article
for Finance Mae

ODemocracy has been largely
responsible for business rs we
know it today and. recognizing
individual business enterprise as
one of the pillars of our demo-
cratic civilization, the dictators
are its sworn enemy" writes
Lieut.. Col. j. Gay Seabourne OF
Selfridge Field in a recent issue
of Personal Finance News.
without question of doubt,
our country faces critical. days"
writes the Selfridge Field Off
Ger, who before called to active
duty was q New York business
executive. perhaps beyond any
thing we have known our spirits
will be tried" he wrote.
"This is particularly true of
business and business men. Un-
der the pressure of rising costs
and taxes it may be easy for bust
ness men to lose heart and con-
sequently to give ear to those
who will preach defeatism and
particularly despair of the demo-
cratic way. Against such propa-
ganda we must be particularly
vigilant."
Col. Seabourne points out that
the democratic way has In no
small measure made possible
business as we know it today.
The alternatives offered for de-
mocracy all mean humiliation of
individual business enterprise,
no matter what promises are
held forth to the contrary, he
writes.
ut may be stated most en-
phatically that neither Fascism,
Naziism, nor Communism aims
at the establishment of q world
order Of any constructive social,
political or moral significance"
the article states. THE truth is
they have no plans at all except
those of opportunism and deceit
and betrayal, all aimed at the de-
struction of the existing fabric of
civilization.
And they destroy not as icon-
oclasts seeking q better order
Of things but as Nihilists who
would produce chaos, out Of
which, by their own avowal, q
master and slave system would
be instituted to be maintained
by force, all for the aggrandize-
ment of a race of self-styled SUI
permen."

II recommend that adjoining
the Jail where we are now park
ing our cars, q building be erect
ed to house our license division

ing would enable US not only to

take care of our needs for more

take such appropriate action as
will relieve the conditions above
indicated, calling your attention
to the added burdens Of the Po-
lice Department due to the large

give the matter will be appreci-

ing sea-borne troops, and mill
tary experts said it may prove to
be the turning-point of the strug-
gle-the beginning of another
British debacle.
Hitler's high command re-
ported that Nazi mountain
troops, striking on beyond Suda
Bay, reached Almyro Bay to the
east in pursuit Of the defeated
British.
TAKE MANY PRISONERS
The German communique said
Nazi forces had taken a large
number of prisoners.
Fascist press dispatches re-
ported also that hundreds of
little Greek sailboats, loaded
with German troops, had been
safely escorted to Crete under
the guns of Italian warships.
Italian troops belatedly en-
tered the conflict yesterday, it
was Reported.
"The landing was made in per-
feet order at the extreme eastern
tip of the island with companies
of soldiers and Sailors" Fascist
informants said.
Its effect is 10 create for the
commander of the British i'm
perial forces sudden new front

sure they must face on the west
is already heavy"
ADMIT LOSSES
The British admitted that cap
ture of Suda Bay, the best har-
Dor on the 16O-mile-long island,
probably would be the deciding
factor in the struggle.
1t was just a year ago today,
incidentally, that the Allies, in
treat from the bloody battle of
Flanders, opened the food
sluices around Dunkerque to
guard the last escape port to
England.
Under orders to fight to the
death, hopelessly outnumbered
British troops we're reported
yielding ground slowly, in bitter
fighting, before the onslaught Of
Nazi forces east of Suda Bay.
While big German transport
planes, operating from the
Greek mainland 100 miles away,
ferried q steady stream Of REIN
forcements, there was no indi-
cation that the British had made
any attempt to land more troops.
The Germans said fatty that
the British were trying to fee
the island, declaring that Stuka
dive-bombers sank Ave trans
ports and damaged two others in
Suda Bay yesterday, indicting
heavy losses on Allied troops at
tempting to board the ships.
Italy's high command said
Fascist warplanes scored torpedo
hits on three British cruisers and
bombed another in Crete waters.

Aims
Continued from Page IL

Element and internal peace of
the continent as a whole is our
only aim"
only our victory can restore
both to Europe and to the world
that freedom which is our heri-
tage for centuries of Christian
civilization and that security
which alone can make possible
the betterment of mans lot up
on EARTH" Eden said.
He said the period between
wars showed mo escape can be
found from the curse which has
been lying on Europe, except by
creating and preserving economy
health in every country ..
I'VE can not now foresee when
the end will come. But it is
the nature of machine SO
rigid as the German to break
suddenly and with little warn
ing. When it comes the need of
succor to European peoples will
be urgent"
SCOPE OF STRUGGLE
Eden said the President "des-
cribed with incompatible
breadth of vision the scope Of the
struggle in which we are en-
gagged"
"He defined the settled policy
of his country in terms which
are as vigorously encouraging
to us as they must be dishearten-
ing to the enemy" the foreign
secretary declared.
For our part, we have listen
ed with hearts full of thankful
ness to the Presidents determ-
ination that the cause Of free
dom can and will prevail"
He asserted that the President
pointed the way for free ma
tons of the world - he has
accomplished a great act of
faith and craftsmanship"
KEYNOTE FREEDOM
The keynote of the Presidents
speech. he said, perhaps lay in
1.-The repeated declaration that
the national existence of free
nations must ultimately depend
upon freedom of the seas"
This freedom" he added,
has been maintained in the
past by the British and Ameri-
can navies and both countries
have fought on many occasions
to maintain it."
The foreign secretary, return
ing to the European situation,
declared it would "be foolish
to belittle Hitler's conquest Of
greater part of the continent
of Europe.
This conquest he called "a re-
markable and ruthless military
achievement"
This one man rules over
scores of millions of conquered
peoples" he said, "either direct
ly or indirectly or through his
creatures, be they Nazis or Quis-
lings.
1T will be our wish to work
with others to prevent starva-
ton after the armistice, the cur
rency of disorders throughout
Europe and wide fluctuations of
employment and prices which
were to cause 50 much misery
in the 20 years between the two
wars"

all sorts of confusion in the minds
of cinema goers, Mr.. Dixon says,
They get the impression that
Robert Montgomery says the things
he says because he is witty fellow"
he observes. We'll, know Mont
gomery and he is witty, but he Is
not that witty. The writer deserves
a share of the credit. But when so
many critics think like the public.
the outlook is bad for the writer"
1t is only in the larger cities OF
England, as in America, that one
escapes reviewing which Is merely
an echo Of fandom's reaction to a
picture. Mr.. Dixon has noted.
He, too, feels sad about that.
Mr.. DiXon'S cyniCiSm toward the
MOVIES, toward fellows in the same
craft, is no universal thing. Audi
ences are audiences everywhere, the
same in England as in America.
Their standards are not higher one
place than another. He thinks that
is unfortunate, a feeling he shares
with a great many American COM
mentators on the movies.
AS for American pictures, he likes
them and wishes there were more
good ones; a not entirely personal
yearning.
He has no quarrel with pictures
designed for pure entertainment,
however. 1t is all right with him
that no one tries to make an epic
starring Mickey Rooney, whose
Hardy series is as popular In Eng
land as it is in this country. 1t is
all right, too, that Deanna Durbin
and Shirley Temple, even Clark
Gable and Cary Grant, pictures are
unpretentiously what they are.
One can deduce from Mr.. Dixon's
conversation that he thinks it's
riches has not been altogether to
the advantage of the American in
dustry.
English producers" he says
working on a shoestring cannot
afford to gamble with talent No
one in the English industry is able
to spot a likely talent and gamble
too heavily on its subsequent devel-
opment. Because no one can, every
one sticks to tried and proved talent.
1t comes from the theater, where
it has had proper basic training
And. of course. that is possible be-
cause the theater and the studios are
adjacent to each other, not 5000
miles apart as in this country Play

rule in spite of the fact that his
primary object in Washington is to
talk to public officials about Amer
icas productive efforts.
One thing he does not mind talk
Ing about, and bluntly, is the over
emphasis upon the director in mo-
ton pictures. He thinks the pub
lie, but more especially critics who
should know better, have accepted
too readily the legend that the
movies ARE a directors medium"
He snorts at that:
THE public doesn't even realize
that writer's have anything to do
with movies on many occasions.
And we don't bother to tell it that
such is the case. We always talk
about the writer's shabby deal and
that is about all. The fact is no
director is better than the story
which Is given to him. He thinks
he is"
Mr.. Dixon thinks he has been too
much encouraged to 60 on thinking
50. Even Alfred Hitchcock, who
has been canonized by fair Sec
ton of the presumably discerning
public and some equally presumably
intelligent critics, does not escape
Mr.. Dixons smiling acerbity.
"Your American critics" says
Mr.. Dixon. take Mr.. Hitchcock too
literally; too much at his own eval-
uation. He is the perennial adoles-
cent"
In other words. more explicitly
American ones, Hitchcock is the
showoff.
He is the kind of director. as so
many are, who believe their pictures
are solely the result of their own
genius, Mr.. Dixon believes. The
Telegraph's cinema critic does not
object to Hitchcock's rating of his
pictures as excellent entertainment
though stereotyped in method, but
he does not approve the assumption
that no one else participates in their
making.
He admits he is thinking as a
writer, not merely critical writer
but one who creates screen scripts
and who believes Hitchcock should
be more prone to admit there are
such people.

fellow who invents the story, creates
