AT RITZ—LOWELL

Following his success in “The Citadel,” Robert Donat again returns to the screen, this time as the lovable schoolmaster of “Goodbye Mr. Chips,” at the Ritz theater, Lowell, starting Sunday. With Donat comes a colorful new feminine lead in Greer Garson, English actress, recently signed. The story, with a romantic love theme, has a new angle in the glorification of the work and influence of the profession of teaching. Donat plays the title role, a British schoolmaster. His work, his romance, the tragedy of the death of his wife, his shaping of careers of future great men, are the dramatic elements.

AROUND TOWN

Washington: The power of the New Deal propaganda niachine creatted over the past six years is becoming more apparent as viewed from a ringside seat in the capital. The agility with which it operates was never better demonstrated than in the character assassination job done on Colonel Lindbergh, after his recent address over the radio. Colonel Lindbergh pleaded that America stay out of the war, maintain actual neutrality, and avoid the shipment of bombers and poison gas that might be used to destroy women and children. But, leaving out the actual merits or demerits of the Lindbergh arguments, no one had a thought of challenging that he spoke from his heart for what he believed to be the greatest good to the U. S. I The newspaper stories, covering the broadcast, contained no idea that Lindbergh was an ally of Hitler or sought to destroy democracy. As a matter of fact, many of them recalled that he was carrying on the tradition of his father, a Congressman, I anti one of the few who voted against ! war in 1917. It remained for the New Deal pro- ! pagandists to announce the discovery that the Colonel was close to being a traitor. And once they set their machine in action, they smeared him, with a thoroughness that would have done credit to Hitler's Joe Goebels. The morning papers carried the Lindbergh speech fully. First impressions were that he had made an outstanding contribution toward keeping the nation peace-conscious. Within a few hours though, Senator Pittman, New Deal leader, issued a statement. When the Senate convened at noon, Pittman shot again and was Joined by a half .dozen other New Dealers. Seldom has an American citizen been attacked so unmercifully. Although just a few months before, President Roosevelt had called Colonel Lindbergh to active military service to utilize his knowledge and experience, the New Deal Senators found that he was totally unqualified to have or express views upon the subject. By inference he was branded a tool of Hitler and a friend of the totalitarian states. He was accused of seeking some form of dictatorial imperialism for America. It was a grand job, superbly done. Within 24 hours after Lindbergh spoke his character had been undermined from one end of the country to the other. And the New Dealers had put others on notice that when they dared to differ with Administration policy, they had better duck.

The use of propaganda and the “smear technique” has been developed to a high science by the New Deal. Millions of dollars and actually hundreds of press agents have built a machine that probably has no equal in the world. Motion pictures, radio, newspapers and magazines are now being used subtly, so that the average person does not know that he is getting propaganda science. This strategy of ignoring all argument but undermining the character and reputation of an opponent began. of course, with the attacks upon Herbert Hoover in 1930. Since then Al Smith, Carter Glass, business men, some leaders of labor, have felt the impact of the “smear technique.” The gun sights are still leveled upon Hoover and others who oppose any part of the New Deal plan. But the barrage has never been more deadly than when leveled at Lindbergh. Such propaganda weapons are dangerous when used in a democracy.

Quick War Relief Given by Red Cross

Shipwrecked American Citizens, Wounded Poles, Refugees, Repatriates Aided Washington—The American Red Cross moved quickly at the onset of hostilities in Europe to organize relief for war sufferers and give aid to American'citizens stranded in danger zones or rescued from sea-warfare catastrophe. Red Cross officials pointed out that following contact of German-Polish forces on September 1, the organization made available medical relief for civilians and armies of Poland; provided aid for Americans repatriating from Europe as they landed in the United States ports; granted medical and maintenance assistance to American survivors of the “Athenia,” first sea casualty of the war; gave financial aid to the American Hospital in Paris, France; and developed a comprehensive communications system to allay the fears of distraught relatives. Norman H Davis, chairman, cabled the International Red Cross Committee in Geneva on September 1 asking what relief would be needed from the Ameri-can-Red Cross. In a first step in consolidating Red Cross relief forces throughout the nation, 3,700 Red Cross chapters were authorized to begin producing refugee garments and to accept contributions for war relief. A quick response from the Polish Red Cross to Chairman Davis’ cable to the International Committee resulted in an American Red Cross appropriation of $50,000 for the purchase of 45 items of medicines, and for army blankets and a quantity of large hospital tents capable of housing 50 stretcher cases each.

A grant of $25,000 was also mad© to the American Hospital in Paris to evacuate American patients from the hospital and to purchase in the United States a 100 (bed hospital unit for shipment to the -American organization, it was said. To meet needs which were thought likely to result from bombardment of rural villages and the passage of hostile armies, the Red Cross called upon 21 of its large city chapters to roll surgical dressings of a special new typo for European warfare injuries. More than 500,000 yards of gauze were purchased and 40,000 pounds of cotton, enough to make 157,000 surgical dressings. On September 2, the American Red Cross announced it was organizing to meet repatriating American citizens at seaport cities through chapter reception committees. Citizens without resources were given temporary shelter, and aided to resettle in their former homes or work. Between September 5 and 7, the American Red Cross cabled $20,000 through the State Department to help American survivors of the “Athenia,” who had been taken into Irish and Scotch ports “The Red Cross is not interested in the origins of the present conflict,” Chairman Davis declared follow’ing his cabled offer of assistance to the International red Cross Committee. “As part of the great International Red Cross it is our duty to do what we can to aid the helpless civilians who will suffer during the hostilities.” An Inquiry and Information Service was organized through which contact would be made with relatives of Americans in the belligerent countries. Red Cross chapters were instructed to accept funds for the purchase of supplies for impartial distribution and funds for purchase of supplies for a designated country to be expended through the Red Cross society of that nation.
