1. POLIY PRAISED AT PEACE SESSION Hoover and Stimson Com- mended for Stand in Far East Situation. ‘The Conference on the Cause and Cure of War this morning unanimously indorsed the policy of President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson in the Far East, expressing profound satisfac- tion with their application of the Pact of Paris. Mrs. L. V. Hubbard, chairman of the Resolutions Committee, offered two resolutions, both giving President Hoover thanks for the continuance of a dis- armament policy during his administra- ticn. Mrs. James Morrison of the American Association of University Women, was the author of both reso- lutions. Scraps Lytton Report. A third resolution, submitted by Mrs, Rachel Conrad Nason of the Young ‘Women's Christian Association, was read, suggesting that the conference express their hearty approval of the Senate resolution granting the Presi- dent power to prohibit the exportation of arms and munitions to nations at war. There was much discussion about this, however, and it was referred back to_the committee. Dr. Nathaniel Pfeffer, a resident of the Far East, an editor, correspondent and magazine writer, and research fel- Jow of the Guggenheim Foundation in China, gave an analysis of what should be done in the East, which startled the more complacent members of the conference. He scrapped the work of the Lytton Commission and the League of Nations because they dealt only with Japan. He said that all big nations were guilty of aggression in China, not as blatently as the Japanese, but enougi so that Japan laughed at our righteous attitude as indicated by the Stimson doctrine. Give Conflicting Views. Two lucid and diametrically opposed points of view were presented last night at_the round table discussion on war debts. Dr. Jacob Viner, professor of economics at the University of Chicago, claimed that the scaling down of tariff walls and the reduction of war debts Were essential to our recovery. “The interallied debts aré not the £ole cause of the present depression,” he said. “Their reduction, or even cancellation, is not likely to prove suffi- cient to bring about a turn of the eco- nomic tide. But the debts were one of the factors contributing to the de- pression, and their reduction would be one important contribution toward making recovery possible.” “There is a general belief in the debtor countries,” he continued, “that their economic recovery is impossible unless and until the load of their ex- ternal debts is reduced, and there are many competent persons in this country who agree.” He said thet in order to have a prosperous America it is necessary to put Europe on its feet again, and that it is not only stupid but blind to confuse a settlement with our debtors with a transferring of a burden from European taxpayers’ shoul- ders to American taxpayers. He admitted the argument frequently made that this reasoning should be ap- plied to internal debts both public and private as well as to foreign debts, but he based his plea on the moral that it is wrong to demand “the full pound of flesh either from internal or external debtors in distress.” He concluded his case by saying: “The barriers to trade are a more important impediment to Tecovery than the debts, and for the existence and height of these barriers we are more responsible than any other country. We should offer a reduction of our debt claims where they are pressing most heavily, together with a general and genuinely substantial scaling down of tariff walls, theirs as well as ours.” Opposed by Hollander. This argument was bitterly op) d by Dr. Jacob H. Hollander, professor of political economy at Johns Hop- kins University. When Dr. Hollahder took the floor he professed to speak for “the plain American citizen,” who dwells “sometimes on the side streets of small towns, sometimes in the modest two-story houses of industrial cities, sometimes on simple farms. He lives in Maine or California, in Dakota or ‘Texas. He is artisan, ccrner grocer, farmer, school teacher, bank clerk. He is not represented by the interna- tionalism of unofficial ambassadors, who in Paris, London, Rome or Brussels deprecate the stupidity of the American people.” He decried the absolutism of France and attacked the “reptilian dia- lectic” of the international conversa- tions. Prof. Hollander strongly opposed can- cellationist advocacy. “I believe,” he said, “that such advocacy involves the gravest consequence—economic, social and international—to the United States and to the whole civilized world. Eco- nomic—because whatever measure of accord society in five centuries of slow progress has reached is in largest de- gree assignable to the growth of finan- cial faith between nation and nation.” He thinks that this cancellationist advocacy is developing into a social menace. “The unmistakable appear- ance, indeed the creeping spread of repudiation sentiment in the United States, by inflation, by postponement, by cancellations—as to corporate obli- gations, mortgage indebtedness, busi- ness liabilitles—is a direct reprecus- sion of the countenance given to war debt cancellation.” Dr. Lewis Lorwin of the Institute of Economics of the Brookings Insti- tute suggested that the only way to cope with present conditions is for the World Economic Conference to distin- guish what measures are immediately Ppossible and what can be accomplished as a result of study for future ex- igencies. He wants the United States and other nations to return to a “greater freedom in international trade and finance” and to create international institutions to deal with international problems.

By E. deS. MELCHER Barrymere Tells Theater “To Go Jump in the Lake.” EADERS of John Barrymore’s life saga in the current American Magazine will find him rhapsodizing as follows: “As far as my brother Licnel and I are concerned, the Barrymore family seems to have told the theater to go jump in the lake. We are movie actors. We like being movie actors; we are proud of being movie actors. We feel that we are in no way debasing our so-called art, nor fouling the honor of our {llustrious ancestors when we allow our histrionic antics to be recorded on celluloid and packed in tin cans and shipped, like tomatoes, all over the earth. “We feel that it is better, and certainly more profitable, that we should appear in 500 theaters a day before a million persons than in one theater before a thousand. A thou- sand, that is, except on rainy nights or during holy week! “We doubt seriously, and with real reverence, that our father mother, Maurice Barrymore and Georgie Drew Barrymore, were they alive today, would look with horror upon oyr present method of earning a li\'ing. “But my sister Ethel is different. She will carry the torch for the Barrymore family in the theater until she drops. She has no patience whatsoever with Lionel’s philosophy and mine, that it is better to please Minnfe Johnson of Topeka, and Henry Higgins and wife and children of Tacoma, and Oscar Olson and his Aunt Agatha of Babylon, Long Island, than to keep four-square with the, to us, pedantic and dull ideals of the late Mr. Willilam Winter. “Ethel Barrymore is still queen in the Royal Family, and she would no more abandon the theater than Queen Mary would give up the traditions and customs of the House of Windsor to become door-to-door saleswoman for vacuum cleaners. “But here she is, in the movies ‘with Lionel and me—the three of us in one show for the first time since, as kids (more than 40 years ago), we played Camille in a barn on Staten Island. - ““As this is written we are making ‘Rasputin,’ the story of the Mad Monk of Russia, and Ethel is the lovely Czarina. Lionel, buried in whiskers, is Rasputin, and I am a JOUNE Man—a Very young man, as a matter of fact—named Paul.” ME. BARRYMORE'S frank state- ments—his “go jump in the lake” statements are pleasant ad- mission of cinematic faith at a time when most of the other “great” are sidestepping. Says one, “Oh, I'm crazy about the movies,” and the next minute she, or he, is knee- deep on Broadway. Says another, “Oh, I hate the movies,” and the following Friday may be seen at every available neighborhool house in a not-so-bad film production. Most actors are dilly-dallying back and forth between one medium or the other. Mr. Barrymore is the first to come out and tell the world that the movies are “plenty” good enough for him. This is all the more surprising when it is a fact that Mr. Barry- more hasn’t up until recently been getting all the breaks that he should have. Nor has he been per- forming with all the gusto which characterized him formerly on the stage. However, his confession that the movies please him, that his salary pleases him, that Hollywood pleases him, is a healthy signal of good cheer from some one who should do much to give the talkies one of the better boosts. are sorry to learn, for in- stance, that the Lunt family has veered away from this sport.
