play, one good farce, two good re-

His first sketch was from Arse

old ladies who love old men so
much they entice them to visit
them, poison them, and bury them
in the cellar. When. the play opens
there are II old men who have been

activities, he said the Germans use
their diplomatic channels to circum-
vent these regulations.
According to the present election
trend in Chile, he predicted the elec-
ton Of a radical two years hence,
when vote is taken on a chief exec
utive. He sand there was strong
indication of q leftist trend.
In discussing this country's naval
position in relation to South Amer
lea, Father Ryan pointed out we
have strong chain of bases stretch
ing from Alaska to Panama.
He declared there isn't single
useable base on the entire west coast
and advocated immediate action.
He predicted that the Galapagos
Islands, off the coats of Ecuador and
Natal, Brazil, within six months
would be making news headlines.
Observers recently have been men
tioning the islands for air and naval
base sites to guard the southern ap-
proach to the Panama Canal.
While In Sac Paulo, Father Ryan
said he seldom heard Portuguese
spoken. German was the universal
language, because of the huge con-
centration of Germans.
Britain's efforts to establish a con.
troll port at Trinidad present some
delicate problems, he pointed out.
The British are curious to know
what cargoes are going to Japan by
way Of the Canal, and the only way
they can find out is to take them
into port for search, he said.
