Apparently they give no thought
to the queer conclusion to which their
reasoning logically leads. If we claim
our new policy as right-and we
can hardly maintain our position if
we do not-then we must also con-
cede that right to others. It must,
then, inevitably follow that any other
nation has a right to protect its
routes leading to sources of essential
raw materials. 1t would be not only
the British and the Americans who
would be justified in building their
Pearl Harbors, their Singapores and
their Gibraltars at strategic points,
but the Turks as well, and the Rus
slams, the Germans, the Italians, the
japanese and all the rest The con-
dition to which it would lead is self
evident. 1t needs no elaboration.
What the Democratic party should
do is to discard the donkey as their
emblem and adopt, in it's stead, a
weathervane. I think I have some
thing there.

Fact And Opinion
What Price Imperialism?
BY E. C. Stengelsen.

1t was during the administration of
Theodore Roosevelt that we embarked
upon an expansionist program In .
matter of only lew years, we had
become owners of possessions in the
far corners of the earth-Hawaii,
Cuba, the Philippines, Porto Rico.
Previously, we had held ourselves
carefully within our own borders in
the Western Hemisphere.
1t was probably not so much that
majority of the people endorsed an
expansionist policy, as it was that
time and circumstance forced it upon
us. There was hardly any fair gauge
by which sentiment could be meas
ured. But that it had militant oppo-
sition is certain. A reading of old
issues of the Congressional Record
will disclose the tempestuous debates
which took place.
1t sounds strange to us now, but
the fact is that it was the Democrats
who formed the spearhead of the op-
position. They protested loudly
adventure; they warned that it would
be the means of involving us in end
less wars; that through capitalistic
exploitation of the newly acquired
lands, the privileged few would gar
ner great wealth, while the cost
would be borne by the many who
would gain nothing.
The policy which they then advo-
Gated, isolationist in its concept, they
have now completely abandoned.
They have become imperialistic to a
degree which surpasses the ambi-
tions of the most imperialistic Repub-
licans of the time. They no longer
urge that it is founded on the selfish
interests of privilege and wealth. In
stead, they manage to see in it, not
only something our national welfare
requires, but they dress it up with
altruistic motives which center around
the -Four freedoms" and the Eight
points"
The practical necessity they urge
is one which was given little thought
at the turn of the century. This is
the need of protecting our sources
of essential raw materials. They say
we must assure ourselves of con-
tinued access to the rubber and tin
of southeast Asia, to the tea of Cey-
Ion, the rice of China, the silk of
Japan, the nitrates of Chill, the cof-
fee of Brazil, the diamonds of South
Africa to mention only a few; that
foreign possessions are necessary TO
the extent that they provided mill
tary, aerial and naval bases by which
we may protect our trade routes
against interference by unfriendly
powers.

Nine. Lais Wallace
Is Heard at
Pan.American
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

The recital of music from South
America, given at the Pan-Amer-
ican Union yesterday afternoon and
presented by Lais Wallace, Brazilian
soprano, allowed deeper insight
into the art of our Latin neighbor
For a year or so Pan-American
Union played host to several noted
singers from that part Of the world
and one may say without undue
evaggeration that yesterdays recital,
sponsored by the Ambassador Of
Brazil, was among the most inter-
esting ones, from a musical point
of view.
Nine. Wallace Is not only an
accomplished singer but musician
Of distinction as well. The manner
in which the program was arranged
and interpreted served as ample
proof of her gifts. Her voice has
sympathy and warmth. If not pow
erful, it acquires brilliancy and
sorority in particular types Of song,
and lends itself to minute shadings
at will. The singers facial express
sions assist her also in conveying
the desired meaning and facilitate
the listeners comprehension of the
text
The artists varied program gave
her every opportunity to display
versatility. She touched upon the
lyric, the dramatic and the whim-
sical with equal success. Beginning
with Nettos "Cantiga," the melodic
line Of which was pleasing because
Of the simplicity Of her delivery,
she emphasized the somewhat
Oriental coloring Of De Lemos' Pet

day IN the role OF ParrlS MITCHELL III
"Kings Row." the Warner Bros. film
version of the best-seller novel, in
which Cummings is featured.
AS the Cummings car turns the
corner, the little housewife trips out
to the white picket fence to wait
at the gate of their San Fernando
Valley home. The business OF busting
the -four from the hands and taking
a hasty peek into the oven to see
how the blueberry pie Is coming
along has already been performed
by the cook.
When Cummings alights YEARLY
from the car, his little helpmeet is
right there to greet him.
Have hard day, darling?" asks
she, with just the right note of
concern.
Terrible" signs Cummings. Per
fectly terrible" And he proceeds to
tell her all about it. Here, of course,
Is where the little Woman's under
standing comes in. The ensuing
dialogue proves it:
First thing this morning, had
that scene at the railroad station in
Kings Row where Ann Sheridan
meets me when come home from
Vienna. She's all upset, you know,
about Ronald Reagan's accident.
And she's so glad to see me, so glad
to have some one to whom she can
unburden herself, that she throws
both arms around my neck and
kisses me, then sobs on my chest.
Didn't it go well, dear?"
"Oh, we got swell scene out OF
II. At least, the director, Sam Wood,
seemed to like it, but we had to do
1t over three times to get the tuning
just right"
Cummings collapses into chair
on the porch.
Then we went right into that
scene with Kaaren Verne-the one
on the couch in her living room at
midnight. But the camera setup
didn't seem quite right. There's not
much light in this scene, darling,
and when I kissed her 1t didn't
quite register. We rehearsed it a
dozen times before they found just
the right camera angle, and then
we had to shoot the scene several
times before we got a perfect take"
Cummings sighs, continues:
"And this afternoon we were on
location out at the Ruess Ranch.
Finally got that scene between
Betty Field and me-the one where
she says she loves me but refuses
to marry me and won't tell me why.
The scene winds up with a clinch,
one of those big, emotional clinches.
But we had a little bad luck. l

full garbed in a flowing cotton
nightie as she lies In a bed. But
she is due for rude awakening
Joan Fontaine, her harum- -scarum
sister in the plot, is coming to yank
her out of that bed-and hard. It's
one of those fashioned high
beds, too.
Director Edmund Goulding re-
hearses couple of times and then
starts the camera rolling. Joan
rushes into the room, takes a quick
look at her sister and rushes to the
bed. She grabs two bare feet and
yankS. Miss Reynolds hits the only
slightly padded floor with thump.
You f1inched as though you knew
what was coming" Goulding tells
the newcomer. Try it again"
They tried it several more times.
Finally Goulding asks Miss Rey-
noldS to get up while he stretches
on the bed. Miss Fontaine grabs
his feet and yanks with mighty
heave. Goulding is no lightweight,
but he hits. the floor. Miss Fontaine
flexes her muscles like a Hercules.
The girl gets back into bed, and
they do another rehearsal. This
time Goulding is satisfied. They
do four takes" and the director
says print the last one"
Miss Reynolds scrambles up from
her baptismal scene and snuggles
into a dressing gown. She looks
happy but dazed.
Miss Fontaine pats her on the
shoulder. From now on, honey"
she says, you'll know what they
mean when they say the road to
movie success is rough and bumpy."

Frances Dee was struggling franti-
cally with a batch of documents.
1t was a kitchen scene for Meet
the Stewards" in which Frances is
co-starring with William Holden.
Between miXings she rushed to the
smoking oven in a hopeless effort
to salvage a burning roast.
AS the cameras rolled all was
pandemonium in that little kitchen.
Frances gave a convincing portrayal
of a bride attempting to cook her
first dinner for husband and all the
relatives Everything she did por-
tended disaster. The end of the
scene finds Frances reduced to tears
and utter misery.
The whole thing is libel if there
ever was one. For in real life
Frances-Mrs. Joel McCrea-has the
reputation of being the best actress
cook in all Hollywood. And if you
don't believe it just ask Mr.. Nc
Crea. He'll talk for hours on the
subject.

the portrait of Joan's late pater

asks Ronald Young, another fuddy-

from the general conversation that
the manuscript is an uncomplimen-
tary story about her father. And We
further suspect that its author is no
less than Mr.. Douglas.
There's nothing libelous in those
first chapters" Young pipes up
weakly.
Joan grabs galley proofs and reads,
Though John Drew entered this
earth naked as Chihuahua, he de-
parted it in silken shroud-much
to the chagrin of senatorial in

showing vulgar curiosity in his
affairs"
At this moment. the unfortunate

reading: The daughter is a chip

Another "Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" from

Joan.
Caught by her role, Joan was
