want us to show them the wav TO peace.
The secret of the United Nations
charter and the reason San Francisco
was agreed on as the site Of the conference
were to make sure that the United States
should at last become a member of the
associated nations for perpetual warfare
They loathe country that has a desire
to mind its own business.
They are jealous of a people who
prefer the ways of commerce, of peace, Of
good living of internal expansion 70 the
perpetual sound of the drum and fife
and the day-and-night parade Of braided
uniforms.
WE CAN best lead the way to the
w peace of the world by refusing TO
enter into any formal warlike alliances
Ccalled alliances Of peace") with any
European or Asiatic country. for THESE
COUNTRIES CANNOT NOW GO TO
WAR WITHOUT US.
If we are allied with these perpetual
war-lovers, isn't it logical to expect them
to stir up trouble because rich Old Uncle
Sam is with them?
We had nothing to do with starting
World War H.
If Stain had said no to Hitler when
the latter proposed in August, 1888, that
the Kremlin should share in the loot of
Poland and the three little Baltic states
while Germany raped Europe, the chances
are 100 to l that Hitler would not have
gone to war.
THUS 1T Is THAT SOVIET RUSSIA
IS JOINTLY RESPONSIBLE WITH
NAZI GERMANY FOR THE MOST
BRUTAL WHOLESALE BUTCHERIES
OF ALL TIME.
So we think, Mr.. President, that it is
Soviet Russia that should lead the way
to the peace of the world
But she is, because of her loot, LEAD
ING THE WAY TO WAR.
Why then, should we be appointed to
lead the way to peace, which is matter,
when we have finished up japan, that
concerns Russia, France and England,
three countries that have made war an
essential part of their histories?

the Chinese people. But Allied losses
in Burma, Hong Kong, Singapore and
earlier in French Indo-China, cut off all
of Chinas supply routes to the outside
world. Even though she had Allies who
were powerful and strong, China already
tragically depleted in strength and fight
ing material, became a blockaded coun-
try unable to obtain new supplies.
ITO ADD to her Calvary, Allied strategy
i determined that the European war
must be finished first, and all supplies
concentrated on Europe. China was
virtually asked to hang on without aid
until Germany and Italy were defeated.
This meant that she was asked to hold
down a 2000-mie front for what was to
prove to be another three and a half
years; with guns rusting and no new
parts coming in; with gasoline and medi-
cal supplies impossible to get; with
trucks and railroads rapidly deteriorat-
ing with armies weakening because Of
food and transportation problems-and
with almost no aid coming from her Of
fetal Allies China got only a pitiable
trO-tenthS OF per cent Of all the supplies
America sent abroad to her AllieSi
If now we suddenly discover China TO
be in a state close to starvation, exhaus-
tion and despair-her soldiers tired,
anemic, malarial and tubercular-should
we be surprised?
Much is being made Of the economic,
moral and political deterioration Of China
all diseases Of defeat.
HHINA'S blockade, since she was not
~ an industrialzed nation, made her
economic breakdown and her present in
fation inevitable, through no fault of her
own: the same thing happened to the
Confederacy during our own war between
the states.
Our correspondents and soldiers write
back home stories of graft, corruption,
profteering and black marketing
Aside from the fact that most Amer
leans in China today only see its seamy
side, are anxious to get back home 10
Gods country" as they are in Europe
and elsewhere; and lastly, see China
through western eyes. not as it should
be realistically seen, in the light Of it's
amazing accomplishments during the past
80 years.
Aside from these facts Chinas critics
do not stop to realize that these things
occur in any country at war especially
in defeat.
We are victorious nation, but what
Of our own black markets.
AS to graft and corruption, even the
generalissmo's worst enemies do not
dare to imply that Chang Kai-shek is
personally anything but incorruptible:
his basic honesty, asceticism and patriot
ism are too widely known.

WHILE there has been nothing
W lacking in the frequency and
vigor of British protestations, since
the end of the war in Europe, that it
was the British intention to engage
in full prosecution of the Pacific war,
FACTS seem to belle that intention.
One of the most impressive facts
to come to recent light in that respect
is the purported undertaking on the
part of the Cunard- White Star ship
ping line, British owners of the S. S.
Queen Mary and the S. S. Queen
Elizabeth, to convert these two great
ocean liners from troop transport to
commercial carriage.
These vessels are, of course, the
largest and most spacious and fastest
transports in Allied service, each
capable of carrying approximately
a division of troops.
They performed an invaluable
service during the European war,
and indeed are credited by their
owners with having shortened the
war in Europe by year"
CINCE the troops carried were
- mostly Americans, who did much
of the fighting which won and prob
ably DID shorten the war, it is de-
batable whether such credit so placed
is rightly placed.
In any event, the point now is
that the same fine ships are still
capable of performing the same vital
service in the Pacific war, and
SHOULD perform it without cessa-
tion or diversion until this very hard
and costly conflict is over.
If Britain is going to engage in
the Pacific war as fully as she SAYS
she is, there will be thousands of
British troops to be transported to
the Pacific theater.
If not, there are still many more
thousands of AMERICAN troops to
be transported to the Pacific, and it
would be wonderful thing if they
could be transported there in such
manner as TO shorten THAT war by
year.

THE facts thus far known do
Il not make a complete picture
of Elliott Roosevelts loans
and defaults in consequence Of
which the good old common
man appears 10 have picked up
the tab but we are beginning
TO fill in.
The stories Of John Hartford,
the president of the a. & p.
grocery chain, and Jesse Jones,
the former secretary of COM
merce and former chairman Of
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, agree that Hart
ford loaned Elliott 100000 and
that Jones settled the debt for
$4,000.
The loan of $4,000 from
David q. Baird, a New York
insurance man and banker. and
the $4,000 loan by Maxwell M.
Bllolsky, a New Jersey manu-
facturcr. were similar deals,
although not identical in detail.
Mr.. Jones acted as intermedi-
ary in these settlements.
7 HAVE reason 10 suggest that
L Hartford's check for the
S2000O6 was drawn against his
account in an out-of-toWn bank
and that the $4,000 settlement
was made by a cashiers check,

the 100000 was that he didn't
want the boys downtown 70 get

These and other loans were
made in 1889 when Elliott was
going strong in his radio pro
notions and were settled by
Jones carly in 1912.

1t would seem that every one who
had 1t in mind to 60 to the Water

this summer, turned out for the
closing concert last night. To the
usual capacity audience that, with
few exceptions, has been the rule

who literally jammed the site, sit
ting wherever possible. Many of
the regular patrons could not get
through the crowd to their seats
until the intermission. True, the
soloist of the evening was Gladys
Swarthout, an attraction in itself
but whether that was the sole reason
for the additional attendance or
not, what has been one of the most
successful seasons at the Water
Gate terminated in triumphant
fashion.
Miss Swarthout was prepared for
her followers with bit of classical
music and more predominant por-
ton of the popular. An announce

Unless Miss Davis turned herself
into a cold, intellectual machine
where Miss Barrymore could afford
to be a woman-one beyond middle
years-the other basic values of the
story would have looked ridiculous.
1t is difficult enough as 1t is to ac-
cept the attraction between her, the
teacher, and her young male pupil
as fundamentally platonic. Other
wise 1t would have been completely
impossible.
The Emlyn williams play which
served Miss Barrymore so long as
vehicle, now the attraction at the
Metropolitan should do the same, in
its different terms, for Miss Davis.
AS screenplays go, 1t has fresher
set of human values to deal with
than most things of its kind. 1t is
the story of an idealistic woman
whose passion is concentrated upon
freeing child labor from the mines
of a small Welsh coal town. The
weapon she chooses is education
and the drama Of her adventure Is
inherent in her discovery that she
has genius among her students.
Miss Davis genius is identical
with the one Miss Barrymore dealt
with in the earlier version. He is as
wayward, intractable, and tempera-
mental as genius seemingly must
be.
Two concurrent conflicts are thus
continued throughout the action of

one is that between the brilliant,
but eccentric boy and his aloof, al
most inhuman teacher. The other
is that which unites the two against

fashioned the Metropolitan's picture
have relieved them with passages of
beautiful Welsh music and intervals
of comedy that runs from high to
low. Casey Robinson and Frank

accepted dramatic values.

tage is taken of the opportunity.
Most of the action still takes place
in Miss Moffat's (Miss Davis) living
room, but audiences also are in
troduced to the harsh, sordid back
ground of the community she has
come to deliver from ignorance
The incident of the screenplay is
almost identical with that of the
original. So, with the exception Of
Miss Davis role, are the other char
acters involved.
Because she is less sympathetic
than her predecessor does not mean
that Miss Davis portrait of Miss
Moffat is less dramatic. She plays
the latter with kindliness drained
from the part, for the reason men
toned, but she replaces 1t with the
compelling quality of an unbreak-
