HI /EU DC PLAY < ('mil in tic'll From I'lim* HIM-1 colleges and other non-professional companies. The play written by Martin Flavin came to the campus unpublished and Duzcr Du was forced to trpewrite its manuscripts from the galley proofs of the play. It probably was one of the first times that a college group "stole a march” on stock canipanies’ presentations of a good play and the local collegians along with their director, Prof. H. E. Williams, are to be commended on their courage on undertaking to bring such a play to DePa uw. Unusual and straightforward lines, typical of the average American added spice to the play and gave it a drive which was thoroughly enjoyed by all those in attendance. Singularly devoid of lead parts, action centered around the family of Fred and Mary Perkins, played by Jack Grady and Vera Grace Wass, two of the most experienced Duzer Du performers. Richatd Fat her as Joe and Mary Hall as Sally, played Ui<) roles of son and daughter. The depression reunion which complicated the problems of the family, brougnt the grandparents, John Hanna and Mildred Jacobson onto the stage, along with the son-in-law, played by Richard Hamilton, as well as Amos Perkins, a brother, played by George Losey. James Haman as ■'Mac’’ and Norris Krueger as Mr. Peterson, the Swede from Minnesota, completed the cast of characters. A dry humor arising from the continual bickering which went on between Fied Perkins and nis father-in-law who had been forced to move into his wife's home, provided a regular stream of comedy lines for the production. This probably reached its peak when the harassed "breadwinner" told the old man, "Nope, you didn't have to nide from your ci editors you came to live with them." Every part was very credibly taken care of and some promising new talent was discovered which may be expected to carry on the Duzer Du reputation of having given fine plays to Greencastle. The staging was managed under the supervision of Prof. Lucille Calvert’s dramatic production I class.

Mars Laughs In 1931 the nations of the world spent approximately four billion dollars for national defense In 1936 the same nations spent almost eleven billion dollars for this purpose. In the United States of America the figure has risen from 707 million to 964 million. Great Britain has almost doubled its expenditures. The exact figures being 449 million and 846 million. In percentage increases Germany and Soviet Russia lead the world, Germany’s expenditures rising from 246 million to 2600 million and Russia, in turn, rising from 280 million to 2963 million. If the figures of 1913 are checked, it will be seen that the rate of military expenditure is three times as high today as then. A War to End the World A world that fought a war to end war is now preparing for a conflict that some extremists believe to be a ; war to end the world. It is apparent that the “stolid’’ British believe that danger lies in the pronouncements of the dictators. Mussolini himself declares that fascism “Is an ! education for war.” He tells us it j is the tendency to empire, that is. ^ to expansion. Hitler has written that i peace will “be established by the I victorious sword of a master nation which leads the world to serve a higher culture.’’ He is brazen enough | to insist that if we wish peace there is one way to get it. namely, “Anyone who really from his heart desires the victory of the pacifist idea in the world should support by every means the conquest of the world by j the Germans.” In Mein Kampf Hitler says. “Either the world will be governed by the ideology of modem democracy, in which case every issue will be decided in favor of the numerically stronger races: or it will be ruled by the laws of force, when the peoples of brutal determination, not those that show self-restraint, will

triumph."

In October. 1930. Mussolini declared. “The struggle between two worlds can permit no compromise . . . either we or they! Either their ideas or ours? Either our state or theirs!” Sword and Foreign Policy Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the minister of propaganda and public enlightenment of Germany, says, “The only instrument with which one can conduct foreign policy is alone and exclusively the sword." He continues, "It is impossible to build up an army and giv» it a sense of worth if the object of its existence is not for the preparation for war. Armies for the preservation of peace do not exist; I hey exist only for the triumph and execution of war.’’ In the light of these mad declarations and because of their proximity j to the dictators. France and England have decided to match gun for gun. i to be stronger than their potential enemies. Far to the east is the rising power of another dictatorship. It, , too. has become a mighty military power. The statesmen of Europe are

' afraid.

There Is evidence to support the contention that our present policy of army and naval expansion is prei dicated upon the assumption of difficulty in the Pacific Dudley W. Knox, captain in the United Stales navy, concludes his “A History of the United States Navy" with the declaration. “It is much more than mere coincidence that the country has enjoyed great economic well-being when its ocean commerce and over- j seas interests have had security from adequate naval protection, that peace with Justice lias prevailed for us when our foreign policies and di- \ olomaev have been duly supported by the influence of a strong navy and ♦ bat superiority in sea power has been th edecisive factor in every wa" that has come noon us. The sea is at ou" “ales - east, west and south.” What Ih National Defense It is (rue. of course, that the congress of the United States determines "ow much money shall be soent upon our so-called national defense pro"'■nm. The policies, of course, are determined by our army and navy experts, and it is to be feared that ‘hese oolicics are based upon the as"umptlon that we must be prepared oct alone to defend our own territory but to defend our interests wherever they may be overseas. It is high time the American people themselves. not their military and naval oficers. determine one fundamental issue. That issue is what constitutes national defense. Are we to plan a policy of defense that means we are to defend our own shores from invasion and maintain

or do we mean by national defense, the protection of investments aboard, the insistence upon selling to combatants in war. keeping sea lanes open for legitimate traffic, and. may I say. profiteering traffic. If we are j to send American boys to the far east to protect the investments that will involve naval superiority in the Pacific and collossal military strength. It will call for a financial burden likely to ruin our economic life. Americans should give careful attention to the question of national defense.

AT LOCAL THEATERS

“Theodora Irene Dunne

as a comedienne, will be the attraction at the Voncastle theater Sunday, I Monday and Tuesday. Melvyn Douglas appears opposite Miss Dunne in

the leading male role.

The story unfolded in “Theodora” tells of a small town girl who tries writing under a pen name for her own amusement. Her novels, of the ultra-sophisticated variety, land in the best-selling class overnight. Her publishers had promised to keep her identity a secret, but it is discovered by the handsome young illustrator of her books, the carefree Douglas. Douglas follows her to her home town, manages to win a job there as gardner, and soon finds himself in

love.

When the love is reciprocated, the illustrator disappears. Instead of grieving, Theodore takes matters into her own hands. Following the sophisticated aproach outlined in her books, she hastens to the city in pur- . suit. There she engages in a series of adventures that bring out the type of headlines in her home town newspaper last seen during the world war.

FREAK STATE LEGISLATION BEING OFFERED; ONE BILL MAKES FROGS GAME FISH

Chateau

Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, who have poked unmerciful fun at so many overworked plot formulas, take a crack at the old “terror in some strange foreign place” recipe in their latest comedy, “Mummy’s Boys.” at the Chateau Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. There are hordes of sinister characters and death and danger in almost every foot of film. The plot basis is a weird Egyptian curse that is credited with the deaths of ten men. Anri the climactic action takes place in a forboding underground tomb in the Valley of the Kings that is unsurpassed for sheer number of gloomy passages, secret panels, hidden chambers, and chilling atmosphere. In short all the thrills of the “terror" films have been included. Feminine allure is well represented.

NEW YORK, (UP)—Measures introduced in state legislatures through out the country show promise of running the full gamut of freakishness before the sessions adjourn, according to a United Press survey. Ranging from a bill that would make installation of ashtrays compulsory on all automobiles to one requiring that all school buses be painted red. white and blue, the propose' 1 bill' exemplify some vivid imaginations. Among the bills introduced in the Massachusetts legislature was one that would make the governor “King of the Commonwealth.” Another, intended to dispel any illusions about the incomes of hat check and cigarette girls, provided that all such employes working on straight salary must wear signs visible at 10 feet, warning that all tips go to the

“house.”

Georgia legislators contributed a bill that would abolish the time-hal-lowed institution of “horse trading." Misrepresentation of a horse’s age or teeth would be a criminal offense. Bullfrogs were classed as game fish in a bill passed by the Grogan senate. | l Legislators of Pennsylvania Introduced a bill Hint would compel city firemen to take motion pictures of all two and three alarm fires to be unc<l later in the instruction of recruit firemen.

Miller Conner of Alabama who hen served in the state senate longer than anv other man. proponed a bil! making it a felony for a political candidate to violate a written campaign nlcdgc after taking office. Such » violation would lie punished with a sentence of one to ten years
