Maj. Eliot Says German Fleet
Is Valuable, Although in Hiding
Nozi Policy Aids japanese by Demanding
Continued Guard by Strong Allied Force

Japan to Germany Is as q diversion
of Allied fighting power. But Japan
is obviously weakening in the air and
If to this disadvantage there were
added complete naval inferiority,
the result might be a military
collapse of Japan at a much earlier
date than has been recently antici-
pated.
This would do Germany no good
whatever and Is a consideration
which must be kept in mind by
Admiral Doenitz and his stan in
determining the future employment
Of the German surface fleet.
There is one other consideration
which might influence the admiral's
decision. And that Is the possibil-
ity that an Allied attack on Norway
or even an intensified bombing
policy may soon make the German
ships useless or conflne them to
the Baltic. If he thinks this likely,
so energetic an o1acer as Doenitz
may well decide to make the best
possible use Of his fleet while he
still has 1t.

Laval Government Strips
Diplomats Of Functions
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERN. March GA Swiss Tele-
graphic Agency dispatch from Vichy
said today that the Ministry Of
Foreign Affairs Of the Laval govern
ment had adopted series Of de-
crees stripping dissident French ON
cials, including diplomats, of their
functions.
Among those said to have been
affected were Gilbert ArvengaS
Minister to Mexico; Francois Gentil,
Ambassador to Argentina; Rene
Daynel de st. Quentin, Ambassador
to Brazil; Rene Massigli, former
Ambassador to Turkey, and Rene
Ristelhuber, Minister to Canada.
Actually, the reported vichy &C.
ton amounted to an empty gesture,
for most Of the dismissed diplomats
either long ago declined to f,lnc-
tion for the vichy government or
actively espoused the cause Of op-
posing French forces.
Arvengas resigned in January,
1912: Gentle joined Gen. Henri
Honore Giraud;s French North Afri-
can government last February /.
while esMassigli escaped from France
to join Gen. Charles de Gaulle's
Fighting Frencha hst January 81.

Lady in Distress" a Fama pic

between you and nearly every one
else and the two playwrights who
wrote Lady in Distress" They
knew such people, put together,
could produce far greater excite
ment than, say, Lana Turner and
Victor Mature. 1t is not only great
er, understand, but of a different
kind.
There is nothing forced about the
situations which lead to the lady's
distress in the picture which has
Michael Redgrave for its hero, Paul
Lukas for its villain The young
crane operator is on his way to work
on the train one morning, looks out
the window, and sees the blond be-
ing stabbed by her husband on the
balcony outside their cheap bed
room. He gets off the train, rushes
back, finds the whole thing was
merely a rehearsal for the couples
act. From that point on, their lives
are united, and the drama is un-
ceasing.
What the drama is, even a cad
would not mention and thus betray
the people who made Lady in
Distress"
1t is completely concealed behind
the mood of levity in which the
picture is made. The deception Is
so perfect that nothing much seems
to be happening. The young man,
a very bland young man, meets the
young woman from time to time,
feels sorry that she is so distressed
as the wife and stooge of a cheap
magician, goes with her to a kind
OF petting party in the cabin OF
his crane, and to another in the
elaborate suite of an actors agent.
That is about all there is to it, but
somehow 1t never ceases to be non-
sensically amusing.
In a completely effortless way,
the handsome hero makes himself
funny by such a. simple trick as
asking his wife for some toothpaste,
by drinking so much champagne
that he thinks he is a juggler, by
talking jazz band into accompa-
nying him while he sings very badly,
and finally by coming to the grateful
conclusion that he has remedied the

yarn. the action now taking place
in the cabin of a crane on the
Thames, now in the penthouse of
an actors agent, but when it comes
to its climax, you are likely to find
your hair standing on end. Its
point probably is that the comedy
of living still is divine, but you can
remain completely Indifferent to
that intimation and find yourself
having very superior time.
Lady in Distress" which has the
same male principals as THE Lady
Vanishes," is one Of the most cas-
ual pieces of excitement any one
ever whipped up In a movie studio.
It never seems to be in hurry to
get on from a given point, and 1t
never bothers to explain, but it never
loses the implication that some
thing dramatic is brewing and that
it is going to have deadly logic
about it when it does.
The principal characters in Lady
in Distress" are a bland young man
who operates crane on Thames
bridge construction job, and taut
blond young female who is stooge
in the act Of a temperamental ma
gician. Offhand, you probably
can't think of two people more eX-
quisitely designed to live unevent-
full lives. That is the difference

lady's distress, which permits him
to 60 home to his wife.
The silk-smooth English cast is
completely clever and directed with
no end OF cleverness in keeping out
OF the way of the narrative. It
never once imposes itself upon the
tale being told, but chooses rather
to drift along with 1.-THE most
difficult trick an actor is called upon
to do in this world.
Most winning Of the various
muted performances is that of Red
grave as the incorruptibly poised
young crane operator who is the
completely urbane child of destiny.
But there is excellence, too, in the
work of Lukas as the egomaniacal
illusionist, Sally Gray as his dis
traught wife with slavish kind of
love for him, and Patricia Roc as
the sprightly young wife of the
crane operator.
The others are those competent
anonymous English actors who
always are such perfect craftsmen
tnat It's ungrateful not to remember
their names.
Addenda: Speaking of ingrati-
tude, that's what this department
