CHURCHILL RADICAL BY U: S: STANDARDS

Winston Churchill and daughter, Diane,

Eminent British Statesman Urges Job Insurance, Lower Tariffs. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Bluff and British, the Hon. Winston Churchill, rated as a Tory reactionary among the liberal leaders of England, is a radical compared with most American conservatives. This conclusion is based on an interview he gave The Times while cm his visit here. Churchill came for a lecture at the Murat Saturday night, under auspices of the Indiana council of international relations. Here are some of the liberal objects he stand for as disclosed in the interview” . Unemployment insurance (the socalled “dole” often cited as a “boogy man” by American politicians) ; scaling down of tariff barriers by international conference agreement, and a silver as well as a gold monetary standard for the settlement of international debts. In his lecture the great British soldier and statesman also took a stand against American prohibition and for co-operation between America and England in taking charge of the world. "Would you recommend unemployment insurance for America, after the experience England has had with it?” Churchill was asked. “Unless your present belief that unemployment is but a temporary thing pi oves true, I certainly would say that unemployment insurance is necessary,” he replied promptly. “To have the government, industry and those employed help those who are unable to get work is essential to the country's welfare. Unemployment insurance actuarily is sound. Certainly, I should recommend it.” Favors World Tariff Parley On the topic of England and her I new tariff, Churchill has some dej cided opinions. “We carried the flag of free trade for over seventy years and witnessed country after country raise tariffs higher and higher against our products,” he said. “Now we have a tariff of only 10 per cent which might be termed a mere rev-enue-producing measure. “We plan on making terms with the nations within the British commonw’ealth and wquld welcome an international conference to solve the tariff problem throughout the world.” He refused to say the present high American tariff (the Hawley-Smoot, Grundy act) w r as the last straw which caused the English government to abandon its free trade policies. “It was high tariffs in various countries,” Churchill politely contended. England has benefited by abandoning the gold standard, and, with America and France cornering the world's gold, a conference should be called to discuss the possibilities of silver to revive world trade, he declared. Commends British Liquor Tax “I know the silver question is unpopular in America because of Bryan,” Churchill pointed out. “But had it not been for the discovery of vast new gold sources, Bryan's program would have been adopted, I believe.” In condemning American prohibition, he pointed out that England has found a better way to temperance through levying a heavy tax on alcoholic drinks. It means good

governmental profit and profit, to Churchill, is the test of things. He fears Russia greatly, but to prevent “dumping” by “an embargo and quota system.” Asked regarding the recent Irish election result, Cnurehill, never an in ° - mented: “We expected it” CHURCH CUTS SALARIES Wealthy New York Parish Makes 10 Per Cent for 150 Employes.

Chaney Jr., in Movies, Shuns Imitations of Famous Father

BY DAN THOMAS NBA Service Writer HOLLYWOOD, Feb, 29.—Chaney is a familiar name among movie fans. But there seems to be something strange about having the handle "Creighton” attached to it. However, there are those in Hollywood who predict that the combination of Creighton Chaney is determined to become almost as well known as the familiar Lon Chaney. And why not? Creighton is the 25-year-old son of the late Lon. The youth does not intend to attempt an imitation of his famous father, however. If he makes any mark in the picture w’orld at all it will be as an entirely new personality. He turned thumbs down on the suggestion that he become Lon Chaney Jr. “No actor could ever become a real successor to dad —much less a punk like me,” young Chaney declared. “I don’t know if I ever will make the grade in pictures. Executives at RKO who signed me to a contract apparently think I can. But that still is to be proven. ana I am not going to be a X n character actor at least not for some years yet. That is the most difficult type of acting and I want some years of experience before even attempting it. Right now I want just straight roles so I can learn what acting is all about.” So far Chaney's total experience before the cameras consists of three tests that he has made—all of them very good according to studio executives. And studio life is as new to him as it would be to any young fellow from Kalamazoo. He never hung around the studio when his father was working because Lon didn’t want him doing that when he was in school. And since he has been out of school he has been too busy making a living. Creighton’s life has not been the easy one that the majority of persons would expect. Since he was in grammar school he has earned his own way in the world. Os course, when he was in school he had a good home, but he had to earn his own spending money—doing everything from hauling ice to working in a boiler factory. a a a EVEN after Lon became a star, he deemed it best for his son to make his own way so he would realize the value of money. At 19 Creighton was married and since then he has had absolutely no help from anyone, with the exception of the house which his father gave him for a wedding present and the furnishings presented by his wife’s parents. He has spent most of the last

_Ji 1 i. 1 <-l~ Um.-;

six years in the steam-heating business —working in the bookkeeping, advertising and sales departments. With the proper handling, there is no reason why young Chaney should not go far in pictures. His main fight will be against being pushed ahead too fast. After all, he must learn the business like any other beginner and if he is given a chance to learn it thoroughly before being cast in difficult roles, he should deliver the goods.

TEX GUINAN TO PLAY ’SISTER AIMEE’ LEAD Night Club Queen Will Mimic Evangelist in New Drama. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 29.—Texas Guinan, who has campaigned for converts to New York night life lo these many years, plans to play the role of Evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson Hutton in a Broadway play, “Sister Aimee.” The play is a dramatization Nancy Barr Mavity’s novel, and is scheduled for production by Charles Hopkins. Miss Mavity characterized the evangelist as “the Barnum of religion.” This will be the first dramatic role in w’hich Miss Guinan has appeared on the legitimate stage.

Just to prove he’s not trying to copy Lon Chaney, his famous father, the nice-looking young man shown above, says he's not going to try character parts. * He is Creighton Chaney, son of the late film notable. On the upper left Lon is shown as the hypnotist in the picture of the same name: lower left shows him in the title role of “Mr. Wu,” one of his many Chinese characterizations, and lower right as Fagin in “Oliver Twist.” LAD STEALS WATCHDOG Chicago Boy, 10, Admits Burglary; Made Friends With Guard.
