this time to let the facts speak for
themselves. They give the story
the works, the Hollywood works.
What comes out at the other end
Is a melodrama so overdone that
the customers are reduced to laugh
ter by such normally unlaughing
matters as suicide and murder.
This palpably is not what Colum-
bia Pictures had in mind, but most
surely is what it has on its hands.
And, quite possibly, even its con-
science.
The unvarnished exaggerations of
ITO the Ends of the Earth" are
guilty Of denying audiences what
might have been a dramatic view
Of Government sleuths at work.
What they get. instead, Is another
view of Actor Powell at work. Nat
urally, that Is something entirely
different, and by now rather too
familiar.
The Treasury's Narcotics Bureau
is the agency whose files yielded the
material for the picture at the
Warner. 1t Is a yarn based upon
the roundup of an international
opium ring, an evil cartel in the
poisonous drug business not merely
for the money it can make but for
the moral destruction of entire pop
ulations.
AS Jay Richard Kennedy's script
goes. it makes graceful little curtsies
to the aid of other nations In the
run down of this drug ring. The
Chinese, English, French and Egyp-
tians are given bows for co-opera-
ton, but this is mere concession
to etiquette. The major implication
Of TO the Ends of the Earth IS
that 1t is really a one-man Job, fell
low name of Powell. Yesterdays

O word of 1t.

Powell's round the world trip

band which dreams Of feeding opium
10 whole population-including even
tlally us-begins in San Francisco.
From there he hops to Shanghai

ing poppy seeds which will be

In some undetected corner of the
world; most likely in Egypt. He
does not find the ship, but in spite
OF his stupidity and some highly
boorish conduct toward even those
who want to help him, he does run
across some encouraging clues.
One of these hints that 1t is Egypt
where the crop has been planted,
% Cairo is his next stop. His expert
ence in China has taught him to be
less crude in his relations with
narcotics officials Of other countries.
He gets along better, therefore, with
the English, French and Egyptians
with whom he must deal, but there
Ia little doubt that he Is the real
superman In the operation.

When Powell's master -minGng Is
not obscuring the view, ITO the

drama and they are even arranged
in such a fashion as to create a

are made to serve. however. princi-
pally as background for Actor
Powell. That can be annoying, and
Is.
Another story element that raises
doubts as to the basic honesty of the

hero's running romance with a

quite engagingly-by Signe Hasso.

The fight goes on at Republic
Fancy talk can't
hide big profits

Republic Steel Corporation of
late has set out to educate its
employees. About three months
ago, the Company gave every
employee pamphlet explaining
the blessings the Taft Hartley
Law brings to the working man.
1t was a reprint from the maya
zine Look"
Last week, on pay day, work
ers got another fancy reprint
from Look" magazine, entitled
Who Gets Our National In
Gomez"
The article tries to prove that
the rich are getting poorer and
the poor are getting richer by
the hour; that the big corpora
tons and the absentee owners
of industry get only / per cent
of our national income and that
the working people eat UP the
rest of the cake.
REPUBLIC Steel says that
labor payments are up ITO per
cent, wages and salaries up LOT
per cent and that corporate divi-
dends are down to an all-time
low of IA per cent.
In other words the rich are
really on their way to the poor
house while the Republic Steel
workers are grabbing up the
gravy from impoverished, hard
working corporation executives,
such as FairlesS, White, Weir,
Morgan and Company.
After reading the article one
worker in the mill suggested that
the only way 10 save these poor
fellows from The soup line is to
get the boys in the mill TO pass
the hat.
Republic workers, lingering
the small change in their pockets,
remembered the old saying, eff
ures don't lie, but liars figure"
WHAT are the facts about
corporate profits and the condi-
ton of the workers?
1912 was a war year. People
were supposed to be making lots
of money, yet the U. S. Labor
Department states that half of
the 33 million families in the
United States had an income of
less than $4,000 a year; IS per
cent earned less than $500 a
year; 81 per cent of all families
had an income of less than So, 500.
The government has set mini
mum of $4,000 per family of
for an average standard of health,
decency and well-being.
CAN it be that Republic Off
Gals have a guilty conscience?
They made 81 million dollars
clear profit in 1947. Can it be
that they fear their workers less
they raise hell for a little more
pay?
IT is a public fact that the big
corporations made II billion dol
lars profit last year.

now employed in steel, nothing
could compare with the, murder
of these innocent victims of po-
lice brutality, shot down in cold
blood at the 1887 Memorial Day

Labor'S rights, decent wages,
and working conditions were Sc
cured in hard fought battles on
the picket lines.
On this Memorial Day. when
we again commemorate our war
dead. it is fitting that we pay
tribute as well TO our heroes who
gave their lives on the home
front in the battle against cor
poration greed and tyranny.
LET us all remember that in
these trying days of Taft-Hart-
leyism, when strikers are once
more murdered on picket lines
as in the packinghouse strike, we
must be ever Vigilant to pre-
serve our gains and go forward
to a stranger and more militant

a democratic and free America.
