The third act, back again in

the one which discloses that
Feydeau has the true French
gift for witty dialogue. Here he

into a London and New York hit
some seasons ago; the Broad
way production with Bert Lair.
There is no question that "Ho-
tel Paradise" is. a captivating
specimen of its genre. Among
scholarly addictS of French
farce, however, there well may
be questions that Arenas young
company possesses the polished
artificiality the work demands.
In all truth, this very thought
occurred to Warren Enters who
directed Arenas production. Ac-
cordingly, he has turned it into
SlapStick on the not unSOund
theory that there are too few
scholarly addictS of French
farce to burn him at the stake
for this hereSy. Artifice, there
fore, gives way to gusto which
falls well within the overall
competence of Arenas resident
player group.

Hebert Measure Seeks

fulfilled on paper at least
when the United Nations

partially realized. He would

still be a crusader for the
enduring principles of moral
law and impartial justice,
but he would be among the
first to affirm that no inter-
national organization can
survive and no treaty or
agreement can be effective
if leaders or governments re-
fuse to honor written pledges.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Are the anxieties of the
world essentially any more
acute today than they were
a half-century ago? Do we
articulate now any more
hopefully than then our as
pirations for a world ruled
by reason?
just so years ago this
week-March 4, 1913-this
correspondent sat with other
newsmen at the East Front
of the Capitol and listened to
the inaugural address of
President Woodrow Wilson.
1t contained not a line about
the international situation,
though Mexico was torn by
a, revolution and the Balkan
wars being fought in Europe
were destined is months later
to lead to the outbreak Of
World War I. America as
early as 1907 had played a
prominent part in peace con-
ferences at The Hague. Dis
armament agreements had
been made banning any bonn
bardment of unfortified cities.
President Wilson himself
tried in vain to keep the
United States out Of Europe's
conflict, but when merchant
ships carrying American pas
sengers were attacked without
warning by German subma-
rines, the United States, after
two years of fruitless nego-
tiation with the Kaiser's
regime, entered the war in
1917.
When the war ended in 1918,
efforts to bring about a
peaceful world became Mr..
Wilson's preoceupation, and
he urged that the United
States enter the League of
Nations. But opposition de-
veloped in Congress, and the
effort failed.
Most significant was a
speech made by Mr.. Wilson
on the last day of his West
ern tour in behalf of Ameri-
can entry into the League of
Nations. He spoke a fateful
warning at Denver, Colo, on
September rs, 1919. Yet most
Of us who travelled with him
to report his utterances
never thought that the future
war he described would ever
come. He stressed a theme
also familiar nowadays in the
arguments against a third
world war. He said:

having the practicable con-
sequence of splitting the De-
mocrats farther apart. They
can't stand prosperity; they
are good losers but surpass-
ingly poor winners.
While Republican solidar-
ity is thus growing, Demo-
cratic solidarity is fragment
ing. This is in part because
of the historic Democratic
division along the Mason
Dixon Line. But in greater
part it is because the PreSi-
dent at heart prefers the
moderate way but is being
constantly pushed by urban
bloc Senators and Congress-
men to take up immoderate
attitudes and unwise and
unattainable programs.
Only the Democratic GEN.
ter remains in truly effec-
tive support of the President.
The left is sullen, and thinks
him to be too easy on the
Republicans. The right is
cold, and thinks him to be
too kind to the left. He is
thus in something of the po-
sition reported by Marshal
Foch of France in the First
World War: His left flank
was in disSenSion, his right
flank was crumbling and his
last means of attack was
through his center.
All this does not mean
that the President is with
out resources. 1t does mean,
however, that his difficulties
will multiply the longer he
seeks to appease his party's
left wing. The Democratic
left persists in believing that
the required political tactic
is to act as though the pres
ent was the New Deal era Of
the Dos in a poor and
stricken and inward-looking
country rather than the era
Of the Cos in a rich and out
ward-looking country which
is truly concerned not with
domestic tinkering but with
International safety.
The Republicans have had
no confusion in distinguish
ing which era this is. The
President will In any event
have trouble enough in the
next two years. But he will
find deep trouble, indeed,
unless he broadens his De-
mocratic center by squeezing
back his clamorous left.
