Door BY Elizabeth McFad-
den. The play will be shown
al Weyerhaeuser hall. !. W.
G. A with Mr.. Philburn
Friedman directing.
When the play, a brilliant drama
Of New York family in the early
leOOs. opened in New York the
press and public Immediately
sensed an analogy between the
play and the legend surrounding an
old New York family. whose for
tune was in litigation and sur
rounded with mystery.
The old family mansion still
stands on Fifth avenue shades
are drawn and the house Is empty,
yet the passerby who knows the
legend is apt to shudder at its
ghostly walls.
It would seem that Miss Nc
Fsdden had at some time entered
this home ana certainly she has
woven an enthralling play around
it's wraith-like occupants. Evil
deeds performed in an sristocratic
manner take on a new terror. The
character Of Victoria Van Bret il
~ relentless as Fate in the old
Greek dramas
Announcement Of the advance
ticket sale will be made shortly.

THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON c. TUESDAY, T.

morally and materially will be fully
met SO far as this country is able to
meet them.
Did the people believe that their
Government faithfully represented
them? They did. They reversed
the precedents of $50 years by
electing Franklin Delano Roosevelt
President for a third term.
In my opinion, such reversal of
fundamental practice was caused
by their determination that the
present attitude of their Govern
ment in the world revolution should
be maintained.
Public Opinion Unified.
Wendell Willkie advocated the
same attitude. His supporters in
dorsed his stand. Thus, public
opinion was unified.
But probably no good intentions
could have prevailed over the known
performance.
I feel that the debate ought to
be regarded as closed so far as the
subject of our attitude as a nation
in this world revolution is con-
cerned.
Now, the real question is: What
are we going to do with respect to
carrying out our purpose in this
conflict of economies, of civiliza-
tions, Of religions and of peoples?
First: I would like to have this
Government do all that is practic-
able, and wise, and righteous, to aid
employer and employe to find the
true basis of cooperation.
Hitler's weapon of class prejudice
would thereby be blunted, perhaps
1t would be ruined.
AS we envisage the national work.
shop, and 'endeavor to convert the
boundless resources of this country
into an ever-increasing stream of
military supplies with which to over
come the aggressors, we need to re-
move all obstacles to production.
Speed is essential; extraordinary ef-
fort of our nationals is absolutely
necessary.
1t is oversimplified to say that we
must set up a siX-day week. The
problem involves devoted interest,
patriotic fervor, the spirit of sacri-
flee and endless work.
All citizens should willingly cur
tail the use of ltlxuries and semi
luxuries.
High Standards Advised.
All taxpayers should be willing to
discharge the extra burden of pro-
viding the means with which to pay
labor such wages that the high
standard of diet, clothing and
housing may be maintained. Gov
ernment's participation requires
modification of existing clogs in the
operation of private industry and
amendment of existing contracts so
that both labor and capital may
have the reasonable compensation
which is absolutely necessary to a
vigorous and effective economy.
In the great effort which is before
us, America may-and, I believe,
will-rise to such a level of civiliza-
ton as has not been attainable with
out the stimulus of such cause as
that in which we are united.
Second: Our great regard for civil
liberties exposes our country to the
inroads of the so-called fifth column
