ANlh'ir AHt AlAllt-, It 'Ai'NA al :
is letter recently addressed TO
Congressman John NJ. Coffee:
II congress rubber-stamps the
presidents demands for aid to
England to a Knockout victory
il means WAR. The plain people
do not want war We some OF
US were lulled by the phrase
short of war which has dis
appeared since the election. II
is now dropped from the vocabu-
larry Of the William Allen White
Committee along with the THU
lar leader. We know now that
the suspicious of some of US con-
corning the phrase were justi-
fled. Our only hope Is if con-
gress will reassert its independ-
ence ss representing the COM
mon people. and refuse to be
swept mo war without at least
an effort to prevent II.
Concretely. I am writing TO
urge what has frequently been
urged in The Christian Century,
and again IN the current issue
under title The Presidents
War - taat at least We got a
statement OF war aims by Eng
land before We throw all our
resources into the war. This
is only plain horse sense. Surely
we should know what we are
fighting for before we plunge
in. II was at this point we failed
in the last war More and more
people IN England are asking for
statement OF war aims. but
their government is putting
them off. Our nation - in a
position TO ask this-Justlv and
courteously-and 10 expect an
answer before lesping in.
The old propaganda device OF
name-calling is resorted 10 at
the bare suggestion of a nego-
tiated peace. although Churchill
himself said Of the last war that
such an ending would have been
preferable to the dictated peace
that came az result OF our
intervention. Many English peo-
pie today are asking concerning
the possibility Of negotiated
peace Yet our president pours
soorn with the word "appeasers"
upon any who dare mention this
possibility. II We intervene
again to force a dictated peace.

imports.
Special duties fell upon the
commission during 1910 in the
evacuation of Americans from
war-torn countries across both
oceans; three ships were sent on
special voyages TO France and
the British Isles, and three TO
the Orient.
Last. but by no means least is
the commissions training pro-

Thus it is that the United
States Maritime Commission has
already attained its maturity in
virtually all matters relative to
American seafaring, and its con-
tinued growth and increasing i'm
portance seems assured for 1941.

BERRY BRINGS ORDER TO WEST IN "WY0MING''
Capitol Shows Reformed Bad Man in Star Role
 Comedy-

When Wallace Beery takes to the Great Outdoors his fans are usu- ally sure of great entertainment This is particularly true in "Wyo- ming" thrill-packed saga of the pioneer West, filmed in the Jack son Hole country of Wyoming and now showing at the Capitol Thea tre. Like its predecessor, Bad Man of Brimstone," its action and comedy are played against scenery of breath-taking beauty
 Beery plays Reb Hardness, re- formed train robber who assumes protection of Ann Rutherford and little Bobs Watson, whose father has been killed by cattle raiders. Tn doing so he becomes the leader of the, forces of law and order in a primitive wilderness, helps General Outer in his Indian fighting and breaks up band of desperadoes headed by Joseph Calleia. On the other hand, he plays Lothario and courts Marjorie Main, the lady blacksmith" in his funniest TO- nance since Min and Bill"
 As the good-natured but tough Hardness, Beery has role ideally suited to his talents, even to the  harmonica playing. Miss Rutherford is attractive as the young romantic figure of the story opposite Lee Bowman, debonair as Custer $ young lieutenant. Beery and little Bobs Watson provide some of the finest scenes in the picture, and his comedy with Leo Carrillo enlivens many moment. Joseph Calleia is convincingly menacing as the yil- lainous Buckley. Richard Thorpe's direction is delft, and the camera work by Clyde DeVinna of great beauty
 Players include Henry Travers, Clem Bevans, Sara Haden, Russell Simpson, Chief Thundercloud, Dick Alexander, Addison Richards and Glenn H. Lucas. Hundreds appear in raid and battle sequences.

M. RAMBEAU I5 ANNIE" IN SHOW
 AT 10TH CENTURY
Alan Hale, Jane WYman, Ronald Reagan Also
 Have Good Paris

A full cargo of laughs has just made port at the 20th Century, for that lovable old skipper -in-skirts, "Tugboat Annie" is back in town in film appropriately entitled "Tugboat Annie Sails Again"
 Norman Reilly Rame's Saturday Evening Post characters, Tugboat Annie and her pet hate, Captain Bullwinkle, have long been delight ing American readers with their feuds. Walter De Leon's screen play is based on these characters, who are portrayed on the screen by Marjorie Rambeau and Alan Hale.
 Annie is, by her own admission, still the best man on the water front" However, when the story opens, she stands in danger of being "beached," because the cus- toners of the tugboat company that she works for believe that no woman can captain tug safely. But Annie's more than match for the forces working against her.
 Some of the more exciting high lights of the film are the scenes which show Annie out-witting Bull winkle, by taking a $25,000 tug job right out from under his irate nose. She does it by a clever ruse she learned from that dead and fabulous husband of hers. who
 died when he mistook glass of water for a glass of gin"
 Other prominent members of the cast besides the four stars include Clarence Kolb, Charles Halton, Paul Hurst, Victor Kilian, Chill Wills, Harry Shannon. John Ham ilton, Neil Reagan and Sidney Bracy.
