Hayes and Arthur as a retreat

A LOOK AT AMERICA
BY Frank d. Slutz
WE HAVE A FULL RIGHT to
study the weaknesses and the
failure of our nation as whole.
: But after we have done that, we
have other explorations to make.
These are just as important. In
deed, they may be more import:
ant.
Our nation as a whole is di-
vided nation. We are approach
ing the situation that obtained
in France before the beginning
of the recent World War; Every
time we try to act unitedly, we
are met by the factions that har-
ass us. We are divided into con-
flicting economic groups. The
jurisdictional disputes within
labor itself are troublesome. We
are divided more and more po-
litically, and we are now in a pc
riod when new parties and SUBJ
divisions of old parties are about
to arise. We are divided into eco
nomic theories. Some want free
enterprise; some wish to returns
to the old laissez7faire practices
of yesterday. Some believe in
permanent RECOMMENDATION and
regulation by the government.
Some think that we can keep
ourselves prosperous by the con-
stant priming of private trade by
the use of public funds. Others
want the law of supply and de-
mand to work itself out at any
cost. We have collectivists and
individualists. More and more

selves in loyalty to the welfare
of the nation as a unit.
There is an old, old story Of
a father whose seven sons quar-
relied. He took seven sticks and
tied them into a bundle and
asked each son in turn to break
the bundle. Not one of them
could. Then the aged father un-
tied the bundle and easily broke
one stick at time.
What is big enough to unite
Il nation like ours into a func-
tioning whole? Is war the only
objective capable of doing this?
Shall we ever be able to find
what William James called Il
moral equivalent of war? Can
you cite any such equivalent?
Now that we have taken a
. look at the nation as whole,
we must go on to that next i'm
portant study: What about the
individual citizens? What about
you and me?
1t is very comforting to blame
a group if it lets individuals go
uncriticized. This is one of our
favorite escapist tricks, which
we actually play on ourselves.
If we can make the government,
EDUCATION, the Church, the press,
business, labor, industry, or
some other vague group entity
the scapegoat, we feel very right
eous and innocent.
What have you and to be
careful about in the failure of
our nation? What, very definite
ly, are our concrete responsible
ties? Are we living lives Of the
highest righteousness that we
can achieve? Are we sharing as
individuals in the very mistakes
we criticize i'm the body polite?
Do we treat with economic JUS
tice the persons who work in our
homes, our own businesses, our
own church? Do we give our
selves to our comtry's best with
earnest loyalty? Are you and I
out for all we can get? Is it true
that the totality of a nation is
really what you and 1 are maxi
ing it? Is it honest or decent to
hide behind the mass of citizens?
God and Nations
We have made kind of Grass
nationalism into a religion. We
seem to believe that the state
has a divine right to act inde-
pendently of God. We are faced
with many heavy contradictions
between the voice of God and the
purposes of government.
The truth is that nations, as
nations, are as fully subject to
God and. to his laws as persons
are. No state dare defy God and
expect to get away with it. The
laws of the state must agree
with the laws of God.
All history, not merely that
of Israel, is testimony to the
foolishness of nations that have
refused to live by divine law.
Russia is no exception to this
principle. If the Russian people
(however devout they may be-
come, however loyal they may
in time be to their reconstructed
church,, fail to redeem their
government from it's avowed
atheism, that government will
not last.
In our own case, we may lift
up the spiritual health of indi-
vidual citizens; but if those citi-

Barbara Stanwyck may have lost
out to Ingrid Bergman on the role
of Joan Madou in Erich Remarque's
arch of Triumph's" casting in
Hollywood, but she now comes up
with possibly more dramatic
heroine snatched from the pages of
popular fiction.
Barbara's next job will be that of
Polly Fulton, the beautiful, be-
fuddled daughter of John P. Mar
quand's "B. F.'s Daughter"
The picture, which is scheduled
to go into production, will find Miss
Stanwyck with two highly compe-
tent leading men on her hands, Van
Hef1in on the one, Richard Hart
on the other.
Hart Is new to the movies, but
the Brown University grad is highly
thought of by his cinema employers.
They lost no time hiring him out
of the leading male role in Dark
OF the Moon," a play based upon
the Barbara Allen legend, which
had its premier showing at the Ma
tional a couple of seasons back.
Wan observers who have grown
that way keeping an eye on plays
dealing with the problems of ado
lescence can only come to the con-
clusion that male adolescents either
have no problems or that their di-
lemmas are unspeakable.
From Junior Miss" through
JAMIE" kiss and Tell" Dear
Ruth" ETC., playwrights apparently
have assumed that it is the girls
who are the only funny ones among
the young.
Nor is the end yet in sight. On
the roster of plays for summer try
out is another of the same, an item
called Susie" The cycle probably
will end only when dramatists run
out of girls names to call their
plays. Certainly the public has
shown no disposition to discourage
the prolifigate production of junior
misses as the most laughable phe-
nomena of modern times.
Susie" will come to Broadway
in the fall if the summer theater
audiences give her the faintest en-
couragement.
Despite the fact that they are
surrounded by press agents of such
corpulence that three chins are
standard equipment, movie writer's
create only the thin type for their
pictures. This type, of course, sug-
gests great nervous energy and it
is possible that the suggestion might
be taken by, say, a newcomer to
publicity.
Latest actor to fall afoul of the
rule that press agents on the screen
must be little fatter than cadavers
is Peter Lind Hayes. The role in
the Nunnally Johnson George S.
Kaufman's THE Senator Was In
discreet" is the meaty sort and
Hayes wanted it even if he was too
meaty for it. He agreed to lose 18
pounds in three weeks, a feat he ac-
complished through a combination
of a few pills and heroic selfdenial.
The picture, a political satire
which may beat Estate of the
Union" to the Nations movie thea
ters, finds its scene in Washington.
1t represents Kaufman's first effort
as a screen director.
