He not only made most effective
speeches, in which he epigram-
matically punctured and exposed
the promises and pretensions OF
the administration, but he had his
own wonderful record of achieve
ment as a realistic background
to his campaign.
In the midst of the political
activity and excitement, the repre-
sentative of the women's organi-
zation above mentioned reported
In a speech to her fellow members
that she had looked over the
political situation In the country
carefully. and had met the various
candidates, and that In her opinion
Edgar Hoover WAS the best lock-
Ing, although Paul McNutt was
also very beautiful.
So the difficulty is not that the
ladies do not take an interest in
politics.
They simply do not do anything
to express their interest and their
convictions.
ITO BE completely serious, how
j ever, the women of this coun-
try could have given practical
evidence of their genuine interest
In clean politics by overcoming the
opposition of the machine bosses
to Mr.. Dewey.
They could have massed in such
force that the Wall Street war
mongers would not have dared o
betray him in the Republican con
vention to nominate one OF their
own employees.
As it Is in respect TO clear
politics, where we supporters of
women's suffrage expected the
dear ladies to accomplish wonders,
so IL is with war.
Is there any less war than
there was before the era of uni
versal suffrage in most highly
civilized countries?
Have any effective steps been
taken by the women TO abolish
war?
Have they made any practical
endeavor to organize and employ
their immense political power 20
accomplish that high and noble

Martin Dies of Texas collapsed in
his office late yesterday shortly
after the House had approved by
the overwhelming vote of 1863 to 6
the extension of the Dies commit
tee until April l, 1912.
Dies was stricken following a
dramatic and unexpected speech
he made IN the House defending
his committee during which he
said that his wife had received
notes threatening her and threat
ening TO kidnap their children.
The Dies committee will be
granted S154, 306 to continue its
investigation into all un-American
activities. Speaker Sam Rayburn
renamed the present members and
appointed Representative Beam

created by retirement of former
Representative Dempsey CD of
New Mexico.

European producer took the wit

260 pictures in Europe and has

IL was on the point of leaving
for France TO complete produc-

lief, "when Schaefer told me I
must 60 TO Hollywood instead.
II had prepared toget various
British stars for leading roles,
but Schaefer assured me his
studio in Hollywood would help
men find the proper artists.
"When i was informed that
Schaefer had decided l should
not make the trip to France
was nOnplussed. When l arrived
In Hollywood, was told that
should have had shooting
script ready. That was mani
testify impossible. for I had been
hindered and harassed at all
points.
CONTRACT BROKEN
I'm every respect, i lived up
TO my part of the agreement
but Schaefer and R-K-O will
fully and deliberately broke the
contract"
After he had been ordered TO
stop work on the English version
but to continue preparations TO
produce the French version of the
story. he did as ordered. but finally
was told the entire agreement was
off. Ermolieff asserted.
Under cross-examination. Erm-
oheff was asked about his expert
ence as producer.
He replied that in Europe he had
produced more than 260 films.
What kinds ." he was asked.
"All kinds" he replied. Com

NEED SMALL CONCERNS

In an explanatory bulletin, the
National Defense Advisory Com
mission pointed out:
"Most of the companies which
have received defense contracts
are large ones. But all of them
put together have available for
the work in hand only small
proportion of that part of the
country's productive capacity
which, mechanically speaking,
could be adapted for the pur-
pose.
IF We are TO throw into the
world balance a weight of arms
which will compare favorably
with that OF nations long since
totally modified for war, ii is
essential that all our people and
all our equipment which could
In any way contribute to defense
be quickly put to work"
One by-product of this organized
use of existing peace-time facili.
ties for war production will be &c
divert machines and manpower

clothing 10 manufacturing wal
materials.

I'm the event that the war
should become unduly pro-
ionged, or should get nearer
home, there MAY be some allo-
cation Of production under

should there be a prolonga-
tion of the war, resulting in

spread distress, the time may

stead of being regarded, a. at

accelerating unemployment and

AUTHOR OF STORY

Ermolieff. now a resident of
Beverly Hills. is the author of the
story.
Taking the witness stand in
Federal Judge J. F. T. O'Connor's
court: Ermolieff testified he visited
Schaefer in New York. and entered
into a contract July S, 1899, where
by the picture was TO be produced
in French and English under
Ermolieff's personal supervision.
although the story Is worth
S60.000," the plaintiff testified,
'T agreed TO sell II for $4,000
In consideration OF the agree
ment Schaefer made on behalf
OF R-K-O, to divide the profits
and costs with me. II was under
stood the production was to cost
at least $500. O00."
On Oct. 81, 1899, Ermolieff de-
clared. the defendants repudiated
the contract after he had asked
and been promised the full CO.
operation OF the French govern
ment and the French Foreign
Legion.
Ermolieff told how he had
ccepted Schaefer's suggestion
that the background of the picture
be changed from Caucasian TO
Moroccan, and that the title be
changed TO Outpost in Morocco. ="
"Schaefer told me" the
plaintiff said, 81 think we have
made a good deal with you and
hope we make a lot of
money replied, Yes, I hope
you're satisfied.

NEW PLANTS A SLOW WAY

This new effort supplements the
concurrent building on vast scale
of new mass production tools and
plants for specialized production
of lethal weapons. Obviously the
creation of specialized machine
tools and new ideal assembly lines
for military production constitute
the best way. but ii takes time.
The use of existing facilities to
get more weapons quickly is indus
try's partial answer to Britains
call for "all out help now before
the tooling up of Americas new
armament industry is completed
next Summer.
The use of existing. facilities is
In part a makeshift arrangement,
and it adds to the cost of produc
ton. For example, il has been
computed that a new mass produc-
ton plant built by the Chrysler
Corporation under federal specifi-
cations will turn out tanks for 70
per cent of the cost of similar
implements produced in factories
of the locomotive companies. The
two techniques of production dur
ing the emergency are not Compel
tive, however, but supplementary.

sentation In the councils of the
nation,-not because of any lack
of ability in the persons of their
representatives, but simply because
of the unwillingness of women to
vote as women for the high ideals
and practical political purposes of
women.
THERE was no ADLER congress
i man or congresswoman in
Congress than Mrs. Florence p.
Kahn of California.
And no finer address, no more
fervent appeal made to the patri-
otto sentiments of Congress in the
present session than the speech
made by Mrs. Rankin In her
opposition to the spend. lend and
send war bill of the administration.
But whom did she represent
the women?
She carried no credentials.
And how many representatives
of the women voters were there in
the House?
Eight?
A negligible number.
So Mrs. Rankin's splendid speech
fell upon deaf ears.
Read it, ladies, and blush a bit
at your lack of activity and lack
of influence.
