The com- mission's proposal that the Tacna- Arica territory be made an indepen- dent or neutral state has been submit- ted to the Chilean and Peruvian gov- ernments, who have taken it under advisement. The outlook seems favor- able, neither government having sig- nifiedsany intention of rejecting the proposal. Failing to secure any agreement in former negotiations, due to the fact that neither country was willing to concede any of the disputed territory to the other, the administration sug- gested that "the territory of Tacna and Arica shall be constituted as a neutralised state, either independent or under the protection of South American states, as may be agreed" Although this settlement may be dis- pleasing to the politicians and self- styled patriots of the two countries who refuse to countenance any rea- sonable concessions, it is the only way out of the difficulty, and experienced statesmen will see it as such. Under the administration's plan, the Tacna. Arica territory would be made intol either a separate neutral state under the administration of the South Amer- ican states, or an independent buffer state. s I I CHRONOLOGICAL" MUSIC AND DRAMA We note with surprise Mr. Ram- TONIGhT: Comedy Club presents say's comment on "You Never Can Bernard Shaw's "You Never Can Tell"' Tell."

Shaw cannot help being verbose, it seems, and in moderate doses, all well and good; but four in- ordinately long acts . . . . . The Comedy Club's performance was meticulously precise, and almost flawless in purpose. The action seem- ed rather consciously intensified, its speed increased as though in realiza- tion of those indubitable lack-lustre1 passages in the script. It is good I work, both on the part of the players, sand the directors. Lillian Bronson re- peats her success in "Outward Bound" with another mature part, that of Mrs. Clandon. Her characterization is one of sweet dignity and grace, mixed with an iron firmness of will, which is al- together compelling. The irrepressi- ble twins, marked by that refreshing naivete, and disconcerting humor, I which so easily mlight make life in- tolerable to the vast majority, are played effectively by Phyllis Loughton 1 and Warren Packer. William Bishop does well in the "role of Finch Mc- Comas, the London solicitor. The play is notable for William the per- feet waiter, which discovers Robert Henderson in a white wig, and a quiet, retiring part, which loses nothing in effectiveness for its reticence. "You Never Can Tell" is good en- tertainment, and ifeit fails it is through no stint of author, cast, or I director, but rather to a rather dis- concerting generosity in the matter of time and action. * * * !
