INTERNATIONAL REVUE
This writer takes the liberty
to advance the idea of an Inter
national Revue, for some clever
producer to put together a show
that should be a grand success
for all. Hundreds of Afro-Am-
erican, Afro-French Afro-Brit-
ish, performers have reached
this country recently who pos
sess a world of talent in the en-
tertainment field of stage. screen
and musical art. These people
nave much to offer us Ameri-
cans, having gained their tai
ents from the amusement CEN
tiers of the old world of yester-
day that may never be seen
again.
One of the latest subjects I
have in mind at this writing is
the enchanting example of art
displayed by Mabel Mercer, In
ternational chanteuse who ar
rived on American shores lust
a fortnight ago directly from the
Bahamas. Miss Mercer, a charm
ing, perSonable starlet is of Brit
ish-African extraction, born in
Cardiff, Wales, with a very dis
tinctive English accent and ex-
preston.

tally, spent last weekend. Oc-

where the Duke and Duchess of
Windsor are feted by the aristo-
Gratis of the land. This is lust a
casual engagement for Miss Mer-
Ger, as she has given them de-
lightful enjoyment many times
before in London, Paris and the
Riviera. Miss Mercer is sche-
duled to follow our beloved Max
Inc Sullivan at the swanky Ru-
ban Blue at East 56th st. at
Fifth Ave.
While on the subject may
say Loeb Lomond, M. Sullivan
was admired during her recent
engagement. Charlotte Adams.
newspaper commentator says,
Here she is with her indefin-
able charm and tiny dignity, do
ing, of course, Loeb Lomond and
also, rather surprisingly, Mad
About the Boy. This didn't seem
to us her sort of stuff but she
did it awfully well. All this
makes a pretty top-notch show.

teresting personality that bears
watching is Willie Lewis, a cele-

Will be too low. Five to one is better

Superiority Is Needed.
Why? The ratio of striking
power to distance. German bomb
erS have only to taxi 100 to 300
miles from airdromes in occupied
France to reach objectives in Brit
ain, while British planes, to reach
objectiveS in Germany itself, have
TO 60 500 to 300 miles in a larger
area where objectives are more
scattered than in the congested
island of Britain.
For British conveys, the sea dam
ger zone is concentrated in an area
off the west coast of Ireland which
is under both plane and submarine
attack. Our Navy, operating at
that distance from its home bases,
must have the use of British ports
and bases, when their facilities are
much cramped owing to the dam
age done by bombings.
This is not implying in any way
that conveying as far as the Navy
can go from our own bases will not
be a great help. 1t will be, but it is
an emergency expedient which will
have to be prolonged without max
ing any decision.
The point is to take the de-
structive air offensive away from
Germany and return it to her in
kind, striking at the very source
OF her air and industrial power
with colossal superiority, because
OF the tactical situation which en-
tirely favors German air power.

broad powers in many fields of our
economic life: but it is imperative
that broadcasting be maintained as
a free American institution.
No Need of Threat.
Not content with a formal threat
to revoke licenses unless its orders
are obeyed, the F. c. C. now has
turned over its report to the Justice
Department for study and pre-
sumably prosecution. This is where
the whole matter should have gone
in the first place. The Sherman
antitrust laws apply to everybody.
There was no need to threaten to
revoke licenses. But this is the era
of arbitrary and capricious bu-
reaucracy which ignores the statutes
of Congress and 'stipulates its own
penalties irrespective of the fact
that there are no words in the law
granting such punitive powers. No
hearing was even given interested
parties before the order was pro-
mulgated.
Is this the kind of democracy the
American people are asked to tax
themselves for and perhaps give the
lives of their sons? President Roose-
welt appointed these commissioners
and he has encouraged the punitive
practices of governmental commits

They are also the most effective means

course of events; they are a powerful

which is going on between democracy and

Yet, these broadcasts are conducted
by private networks, they are conducted
without any defined policy, or without any
common policy, and they are subject to
the pressureS of private commercial inter-
ests. Being without an official policy, and
not subject to any public direction or

Twenty thousand warplanes is the
promise of our total production this
year. Of the percentage of the
whole that We have allotted to
Britain, the largest is in the bomb
er class. This is not enough.
The goal of 500 heavy bombers
monthly has been set. How long
before we will reach it? Will the
500 monthly be enough? Hopefully
possibly. 1t is certain that there
cannot be too many.
We should begin plant expansion
to build 1000 bombers month, al
though this curtailS other features
of our war program with the ex-
ception of naval and armored divis-
ion requirements.
If Wavell Had Planes.
If Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell,
who did his Libyan drive with a few
planes and one armored division
and took 10000 prisoners, had to-
day 5000 bombers and 10 armored
divisions. the Suez Canal would be
secure His would be a thrusting,
vigorous offensive instead of de-
fensive tactics His bombers could
smash German concentrations and
airdromeS on either the Asiatic or
African side of the canal into the
desert sands: his armored divisions
could get the jump on German
armored divisions, tank for tank,
the odds all in his favor.
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler and
Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering,
the German air chief, must be fully
aware of our potential capacity for
the production of warplanes which
Germany cannot surpass. Their con-
Germ is whether they can win the
war before we make the most Of
our capacity.
We know that the Germans have
four new bombers which are COM
ing into service; new Heinkel and
a new Focke Wulf Kurier and also
two r-motored ships. The famous
Stuka dive bomber is already obso-
lescent and on the way to the rear
as obsolete.
Germans Have Other New Ones.
That is not all. There must be
fighters for bomber escort and for
defense against enemy raids. In
