Distatorship decapitates its opposition. Democracy dignifies it. Last week I quoted from an interview I ha d with Karl Raked in the summer oi' 1934- This week’s news reports that Karl Radek is in prison. It is , thus that dictatorship deals with its , opposition. His Majesty’s Opposition In England, on the contrary, the opposition is dignified and carries the title “His Majesty’s Opposition.” In the United States the so-called

The former was a cultured man, a friend of Lenin and a brother-in-law of Trotsky; the latter was a brilliant member of the revolutionary group which seized power in 1917 under the leadership of Lenin. Radek himself is one of the ablest analytical minds in Russia. He possessed extraordinary grasp of foreign affairs. I was much impressed by him and was particularly struck by his statement that he possessed a private library of six thousand volumes. Now he is in prison; and before this article appears, he may be executed.

ing received at the hands of his ' father. He is proving a stronger man than many anticipated. At the time of our interview everyone was on edge. No one knew what might occur at any moment. While we were talking, a door in the room slammed. Those in the group jumped, but Sehuschnigg did not move a muscle. Perhaps a dictator knows that no one can dodge the inevitable. Sehuschnigg faces a most difficult task. Some believe he must bow to Mssollni or Hitler. His present move | would indicate that he intends to do neither. He has taken power from | Prince Starhemburg. It will be inI teresting to note whether Schuschnigg, as dictator, must likewise de-

' capitate his opposition. American on World Court

Manley O. Hudson, Bemis profes- ! sor of international law, at Harvard ! university has been elected a justice 'of the world court. He is the fourth I great American to receive this honor, j John Bassett Moore, Charles Evans j Hughes and Frank B, Kellogg preceded him.- Professor Hudson is admirably prepared for this most important duty. In addition to his duties as professor of international law at Harvard, he h.s spen his sumI mers at Geneva serving in many j capacities such as legal adviser to the Secretariat of the League of Na[tions and legal adviser to many ini tcrnational labor conferenees. He | was attached to the International Law Division of the American commission to negotiate peace at Paris from 1918 to> 1919 and was a member of the Paris peace conference in 1919. He is widely known because of his volume, “International Legislation,” and several important treatises in international law. Professor Hudson is a polished gentleman, a brilliant student, a patriotic American. and a far-visioned jurist who knows that law and order must replace international anarchy. This necessitates a world judiciary. International disputes are being settled at the moment by conciliation commissions and other methods. It is not a question of world judicial bodies. It is simply a question of having a good court rather than a poor one. A court that has been served by such men as John Bassett Moore, Charles Evans Hughes and Frank B. Kellog; a court that has been recommended by these men; and a court that has been created in large measure by the brilliant mind of Ellhu Root is one that should be considered by Americans in the light of fact not

in the light of prejudice.

Voncastle

“Stage Struck,” a musical romance. comes to the Voncastle theater Sunday, Monday anil Tuesday, with an all-star cast including Dirk Powell. Joan Blondell. Frank McHugh. Warren William. Jeanne Madden, and the Yacht Club boys. The picture depicts the whipping into shape of a Broadway musical comedy from the selection of cast and chorus, through rehearsals to the premiere performance. It is a revelation of the lives of threatrical folk behind the wings giving an intimate peep into their romances, their hatieds and jealousies, their temperamental ravings and their arduous preparatory work^before the curtain

goes up.

There are hundreds of beautiful chorus girls taking part in the several dance numbers, as well as a specialty number in the New York Aquarium. Special songs are sung by Dick Powell and Miss Madden. The Yacht Club boys also sing two songs of their own composition, besides putting on specialty acts. All of the numbers are an integral part if the plot and blend naturally into k»he story.

Chateau “Things To Come.” H. G. Wells’ amazing forcast of the future, comes to the screen of the Chateau Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The film, the first work the famous novelist has written directly for the screen, depicts the world as predicts it will he in 2036, after our present civilization has been destroyed by the next war. Cities will be subterranean, flooded with artificial sunshine and conditioned air; houses will be glass and windowless; clothes will be simple and beautiful; wrist radios and television sets will be a fact; the working day will be cut to two hours and human beings will be shot to the moon from a “space gun,” 250 feet i higher than the Empire State build-

ing.

Raymond Massey, Ralph Richard son, and Sir Cedric Hardwicke head a cast of 20.000. Made in London, the film is one of the most ambitious turned outi by a British studio. Granada Frank Morgan and Binnie Barnes 1 are co-featured in “There’s Always Tomorrow," feature attraction at the Granada Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Robert Taylor, Lois Wilson, Louise Latimer and Alan Hale are also in the cast. The story by Ursula Parrott, pictures two years in the life of a typical American father of five children whose sole function seems to be that of a meal ticket. The existence of the family is tranquil until a girl who understands the husband-father re-enters his life. Gay and hilarious in its earlier reels the film play builds to one of the most tense situations created on the screen in some time.

Wild Ponies Live in Virginia!

Wild ponies in Virginia? Yes, it's true and they were there before the west ever heard of wild horses or roundups! This band of equines is on Chincoteague island, just off the Virginia coast. Various theories have been suggested to their origin, but it is generally believed that the ponies are the progeny of the survivors of a wrecked ship which was carrying livestock to the colonies during w colonial days.
