Complexities Of Opposition It's an old Anglo-Saxon axiom that "the duty of the Opposition is to oppose" Randolph Churchill said that in a
British parliamentary debate in 1879, quoting from remarks
made m 1841 by Lord Stanley, who quoted somebody else. And, of course, that principle was recognized long before anyone thought of stating it so concisely. Recently, another Churchill the great Winston essayed the bpposition role in attacking the Labor govern
ment s "crisis powers" bill as- "a blank check for totalitarian government." His attack failed, Commons voting down by a wide margin an amendment to reject the measure. The bill would permit the government to tell men and women where they must work and to take over the managemnt of firms considered to be operating inefficiently.- It is striking proof of the seriousness of Britain's economic crisis that test votes have shown a large majority for the new "austeiity" program. For the British 'people don't like to be regimented much more than Americans do, although our cousins overseas have had to submit to a greater measure of control in peacetime. But whereas in England the opposition role is relatively simple, it is decidedly complex in the "United States today. The Republican majority in Congress is the administration's opposition, and vice versa. While each side enjoys the opportunity of opposing, it also faces the responsibility of proposing action on issues before the country. .This complexity was emphasized Thursday when President Truman challenged, Republican claims of economies effected by the Eightieth Congress. He is having his own set of figures compiled, and expects them to show that the outlays authorized by Congress for the new fiscal year were approximately equal to his budget estimates. Having surrendered exclusive rights to the opposition role when they won the 1946 congressional elections, the Republicans will be judged in part by th,e extent to which thev have' overestimated the chances of demands for economy and for tax reduction. On another major issue, labor regulation, the Gallup Poll indicates they were entirely too successful in overriding net only the president's veto but a larg? segment of public opinion. On a third major item, removal of con- . trols, they have sometimes been joined by the administration. In fact, Mr. Truman several times has taken the play away from the GOP in this respect.' Opposition is becoming a bit too confused. The voters, ' however, can simplify matters in 1948 by re-establishing oneparty reponsibility for both executive and legislative divisions. It is hoped the issues and; responsibilities next year will stimulate a clean-cut decision. !

This business of reporting Broadway affairs gets more internationally involved by the day. There is, for instance, the Shubert plan for feeding European stage hits to hungry New York theatres this winter. Or consider the United Nations Economic, Scientific and Cultural Organization which is sponsoring a "world drama" set-up. If, by chance, you check up on filmdom's goings-on, then you find our own Bing Crosby, with other star performers, signed up by J. Arthur Rank for all-British pictures. Meanwhile,- England's
outstanding ; screen performers keep pouring into Hollywood and London's pet comic has been on the radio circuits presumably to learn Yankee laugh methods. Meanwhile, also, Mr. Rank has taken over so many theatres between Texas and Rangoon that American film moguls are hinting that he's out to corner the market.. v
Taking one thing at a time, let's face the fact tha. the n:nv theatre season has been anticipated by more drums of doom than by shrill fanfaronade. The assorted critics and columnists have considered the mystery of the missing playwrights, or what has happened to the play manuscripts. They have .whispered about a revolt of the play "angels." They have concluded that, whereas, in the last season, dramas waited in line to get a
theatre, there will be no showshop shortage now. While crying towels were being sold from the curbstones, the fearmongers gave particular importance to the long tour of Europe made by Lee Shubert. They saw this as a sure-fire indication that a. play famine faced the mainstem. He returned with a large bundle of important contracts in his brief case. And why not? It so happens that the Shuberts own or control a considerable percentage of Broadway's theatres and, since they also engage in big league production, it's
essential that these should a? hcusing shows. . t In the course of his European
shopping, Mr. Shubert picked up the London hit, "Picadilly Hayride," which has been running for three years; the Ivor Norvello musical, "Perchance to Dream"; a Paris musical titled "Belle of Cordiz"; an English comedy, "Under the Counter" and a few other choice theatre items. In addition the brothers Shubert will have the old Ziegf eld Follies and may, have the first production of the year in a piece which was originally known as "We Love A Lassie," but which may wind up as "The Skudd-ievaigs." ,
As for the International Theatre Institute, which has a United Nations blessing, Clarence Derwent, president of Actors' Equity heifds a group that went to Paris . for a "World Theatre Conference." With him are Lillian Hellman, noted playwright; Rosamond Gilder and George Freedley, his'vorian. Britain's author-playwright J. B. Priestley and Frances Louis Jouvet are co-chairman of the session, the ultimate
purpose of which is an. international theatrical congress to be hold, in all probability, right here in the U. S. A. It is the contention, that an exchange of performers and plays would aid universal understanding and that such cultural advantage will be gained from studying .what the other nations are achieving in the theatre. As Mr. Derwent pointed out
before leaving for France: "We've had the Abbey players from Ireland; the Old Vic and the Moscow Arts but they were all sponsored tours, and had to be sound commercial investments. That shouldn't be necessary. Many groups are eager to come to America, but have no backing. There's the Greek National theatre, for instance. It hasn't the backing to make the trip. Here in America, we have no national theatre to send to Europe. We've bpen ho'ping for some time that the American National theatre and Academy will eventually develop one. The ANTA, by the ww. operates under a Congres-
rvnr.l charter and has been help1 ing groups over the nations. jj

WHEEL ALIGNMENT SERVICE
i V
Misaligned wheels are too often the cause of auto accidents due to excess pull on the steering apparatus. Never the least amount of trouble brought about by improperly aligned wheels-is the cost of rubber needlessly burned off your tires each day. s Misaligned wheels cause one side of the tire to carry all the load, thereby cutting down the life of the whole tire tread as welt as the tire wail due to the excess load unevenly distributed. We urge you' to stop in at Chevrolet today and let us place your wheels on the Bear machine. It only-takes a minute to correct the trouble . . . yet, it saves much.
