EUROPE NEAR CATACLYSM AS BRIAND PASSES War Disaster He Dreamed to Prevent Seems Nearer Than Ever. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrippa-Howard Foreign Editor The sudden death of Aristide Briand, a dozen times premier of France and perennial minister of foreign affairs, leaves Europe facing the very cataclysm he tried so hard to prevent. Briand and Stresemann—Germany's late foreign minister—seemingly were on the point of arranging a Franco-German entente, without which permanent peace in Europe is impossible. But Stresemann died and Adolf Hitler’s Nationalists embittered relations by anti-French demonstrations. Not only was the entente wrecked but, politically, France's “man of peace” was doomed. Briand’s "soft answer,” Frenchmen charged, had played into the hands of a warlike Germany. His Blp Dream Shattered Politically, therefore, Briand was killed two years ago. ambushed by those whose friendship he sought across the Rhine. Physically he died Monday, literally of a broken heart. The big dream of Briand’s declining years was "United States of Europe" a European peace based upon a friendly understanding between France and Germany. He saw that if there was to be peace—and not just a truce between wars—it, would have to come that way. But, the cards were stacked against him. I saw him the last time last summer, in London. I was shocked by his changed appearance. He had aged a decade in little more than a t year. He was a broken man. Trag- * edy was written in every line of his bowrri figure. Knew He Was on Sidelines France, Germany, Italy, Britain and the United States were holding conferences in the British capital, night and day, in an effort to prevent the economic, if not the political, collapse of Europe. I saw Briand at the Carleton. I asked ■ him how things weer coming. “Ah,” he said with the whimsical little shrug which was so typical of him, “the climate here agrees with me well enough, but I miss my French tobacco.” (He smoked the cheapest and rankest of black shag.) There was no mistaking his meaning. He was on the sidelines, and he knew it. He still was French foreign minister, but the clever masterful little Premier Laval —a newcomer in French politics—was shaping foreign policy. The facade was the same but the works inside were different. Bitter Foe of “Tiger” Briand and Clemenceau were bitter enemies. Clemenceau never could tolerate opposition, and Briand had overthrown him and taken his place as premier. Clemenceau never forgave him, and never tired of saying cutting things about him. "Poincare knows everything and understands nothing,” the Tiger once quipped, "but Briand knows nothing and understands everything.” There was a good deal to this, and it was complimentary to Briand, though Clemenceau did not intend it that way. Briand always employed a small army of secretaries to dig up facts for him—which he did not try to carry in his head—but his un'derj| standing of fundamentals was monumental.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BORAH ASSAILS PROFITEERING IN TIMEJJFJ’EACE Greater Social Evil Than Excessive Money-Making During War, He Says. By United fTrrt* WASHINGTON. March B.—Senator William E. Borah (Rep., Idaho), considers peace-time profiteering one of the greatest factors in human suffering, and a greater social evil than excessive war profits. Borah, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, expressed this opinion when questioned today by the United Press. He was discussing a proposal" of .the war policies commission for a constitutional amendment authorizing price-fixing in all commod'ities, rents and other property in war time. “If congress is to have authority to fix prices,” Borah said, “it should extend to peace as well as war. One of the great troubles now is concentration of wealth “I am of the opinion that more suffering is caused humanity by the mal-distribution of wealth than by war-time profiteers. “Half the human family at this moment has been deprived of its power to purchase. “So far as my influence may go, it will be in behalf of extending the price fixing provision to include all time, if there is to be an amendment at all. “That would enable the congress, if we had the courage to do it, to control these enormous profits, most of which come from natural resources which rightly belong to all the people. j “I am in favor of American business making a profit,, and I do not commit myself to a price fixing amendment, but if there is to be such a venture it should, not be limited to time of war.” The amendment relating to war time has been referred to the judiciary committee of which Borah is a member.

HERE IS GOOD STUDY IN ART OF HOKUM The Berkell Players at Keith’s Once More Go in for Comedy by Presenting “Lass That Off,” This Week. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THERE are two examples of what hokum may accomplish and how this brand of theater may be developed on the same bill this week. And speaking of the hill billy act of Fauntleroy and Van and the roudy and noisy hokum of Willie, West and McGinty in "A Billion Building Blunders.” These two acts haven't changed the basic thought of their comedy efforts in years. Probably Fauntleroy and Van have changed their hilly billy talk and music less than the other act. In considering Fauntleroy and Van, we have a pretty well conceived idea of a definite brand of hokum that is individual if not historic. These two have handed me

many laughs during the years they have been on the stage. They talk small town mountain gossip, play a tune here and there on a saw. a home made violin and the like. But

their artistry lies in the way they present their hokum. In considering Willie. West and McGinty here is a company of four who go in for falls, outlandish sit uations which do not require the spoken word. This season they are building a structure and be-

fore they get through the stage is about a wreck. Have often wondered why these men don’t get hurt when a piece of wood comes flying across the stage. In all these years these men have always been able to get laughs without the spoken word. Hokum? Yes, tons of it. but expectly presented by both teams. The years are telling on Joseph E. Howard, song writer, who in other days has been responsible for many song hits as well as musical comedy shows of big box office popularity. I will remember him for his work in other years and not this season in vaudeville. The Harris Twins do some good two piano work as well as some clever dancing. Their partner. Glory E. Lee, is a fine acrobatic dancer. Her two-fan dance is very good. Freddie Craig Jr., is a young chap who can do ten things at the same time. This boy is clever, although he is following in the footsteps of

; others who first brought this type of work to the stage. He is good. Merrill Brothers and Sister open the bill in a wire and balancing act. The movie is George O'Brien in “The Gay Caballero.” Now at the Lyric. a tt * LAUGHING AGAIN WITH “LAFF THAT OFF” Some years ago during another season of the Charles Berkell stock company, “Lass That Off,” a comedy, was produced with excellent box office and audience results. Berkell has the idea and I believe rightly, that a good play is always a good play. And that is the reason he is presenting this week at Keith’s “Lass That Off.” It is not necessary to again repeat the story but it concerns three real men who take a girl, down on her luck, into their apartment on an honor basis. The girl repays them by stealing all their money. But—there is a happy ending. The outstanding laugh performances this week are given by Virginia Stevens as the "Mopupus,” Mildred Hastings as the good Irish landlady, Mrs. Connelly, and Bob Fay as "Remorse.” The truth is the lines and situation really makes this show a triumph for Fay. William Pollard does a good job as Arthur Lindau, one of the three pals. The chief love parts are played by Margery Williams and Philip Brandon. No great demands are made on these two. You will laugh when you go to Keith’s this week and you will see a spirited performance.
