Commonwealth of Nations of the
n a t i on a1 holiday dedicated to
Queen Victoria and to the additions
made to the empire during her
reign, Prime Minister Ransay Mac-
Donald will broadcast from London.
Owing to the changes which are
expected to be made in the consti-
tution of the British empire, Mac-
Donald is expected to take advant-
age of the occasion fortakstatement
of his government's imperial policy.
Originating in London, the broad-
cast' will come over the Columbia
channels at 2:45 this aftenoon
over stations WXYZ, WFBL, and
W&R.
Henry Burbig, pioneer radio com-
edian, will return to the air tonight
at 7:15 o'clock over stations WEAN,
WFBL, and WGR. In his'new series,
Burbig will be assisted by Nat Bru-
siloff and his orchestra. Burbig's
presentations will last fifteen min-
utes. Although chiefly in Jewish
dialect, they include variations and
new ideas in connection with his
burlesque of the old fables.
A special performance of the old
classic, "Damon and Pythias," will
be given aboard Hank Simmon's
Show Boat "Maybelle" and broad-
cast to the listeners over stations
WXYZ, WEAN, and WFBL at 9

SCHWAB PREDICTS-
BUSINESS RETURN
Says End of Liquidation Good
Sign of Improvement.
NEW YORK, M a y 22.--(I)-
Charles M. Schwab told the Ameri-
can Iron & Steel institute today
that there was reason to believe
liquidation was about over. Mr.
Schwab, chairman of the Bethle-
hem Steel corporation, is president
of the institute, which held its
semi-annual meeting here.
"There has been so much talk
aboutathe future that we have lost
sight of the extent to which the
deflation has gone," he said, point-
ing to the long /decline in commod-
ity, security, wholesale and retail
prices.
"There are many signs of stirring
in our economic life. The very fact
that we have faced this situation
and adjusted ourselves to it is a
preliminary to the better times, to
the favorable upward reaction. We
want to keep pulling for the shore.
We must not lose headway by rest-
ing on our oars, but we can be
cheered by the knowledge that the
tide is coming in."
One of the most encouraging
facts, he said, was that the coun-
try had met this depression "with
much less fear, less distress and
with much more organized intelli-
gence than in any previous period
of hard times."

Henderson's telegram stateu that
Blanche Yurka received an ovation1
as she played the lead before a
capacity house.
"My idea of the right way to get
dramatic values in the acting of a
play, and in directing it," Miss
Yurka said in an interview recent-
ly, "is to leave it alone. The great-
er the play, the more easily it will
carry itself."
Classic Plays "Perfect."
"I feel," she continued, "that the
great classic 'plays are so nearly
perfect, so strongly characterized,
and so subtle that we should deal
with them reverently and simply in
putting them on the stage. We1
should merely strive in a humble
way to do just what the play indi-
cates. That is what we are trying
so keenly to do in the "Electra."
"A great play," she went on, "is
never finished for-the actor or the
director. Every performance reveals
something new in it, as to acting
possibilities. That is one of the
reasons why I am so certain that
the Greek masterpieces are thrill-
ing theatrical performances, for
one never exhausts one's part. Of
them all-with the possible excep-r
tion of 'Oedipus Rex' - I regard
'Electra' as the best."
In discussing the methods of the
modern theatre, Miss Yurka de-
clared that " great technique is
needed to provide for the kind of
acting that the public demands."-
"Above all," she said, "an actor'
should never go past the point
where an audience refuses to be-
lieve him."
Was Inspired by Bernhardt.
"It has always been one of my
most cherished wishes to play the
role of the passionate Electra," Miss
Yurka stated. "For the last five
years I have studied the part which
attracted Bernhardt, Eleonora Duse;
Margaret Anglin, and Sybil Thorn-
"Of all the inspirations that have
illumined my work," she continued,
"I count foremost the last perform-
ances -in America of the Duse. I
saw her in three consecutive plays,
and for the firs. time in my life.
From the last of them I went forth
to wander the streets like someone
dazed, for hours upon hours."
"The story of Electra' is sim-
plicity itself as Sophocles wrote it,"
Miss Yurka concluded. "More im-
portantly, it is as real today as it
was 2000 years ago-all the emo-
tions move 1A today as profoundly
and deeply as in the times of the,
Greeks."
RIGHTMIRE SCRE
OHIO STATE RIOT
University -President Declares
Youthful Judgment to Be
Cause of Trouble.
COLUMBUS, 0., May 22. -(P)-
Taking cognizance of recent agita-
tions on the campus, President G.
W. Rightmire of Ohio State univer-
sity issued a statement today in
the official university bulletin in
which he said "the state of the uni-
versity relations has not been so
critical for a quarter of a century."
Referring to the recent mass
meeting of students agitating a
strike over compulsory military
training, the president said the
meeting was "born of half-knowl-
edge, adolescent judgment, lack of
experience, and somewhat influ-
enced by a body of writers who see
little good in our present day civil-
ization."
He continued: "The university
throughout 60 years of existence
has been remarkably free from ill-
considered or socially destructive
agitation with which the world out-
side has at times been disturbed.
The university has been a whole-
some, socially constructive and
sound educational force in the life
of the state, and almost without
exception the students have been
diligent in their work and have
taken a sane and well-considered
view of the world and their place
in it.
"Recently, however, certain stu-
dents have come forward as critics
of 'the university regulations and
procedures, and have freely attack-
ed university policies.

Eleven thousand pine seedlings
were planted last week on the Uni-
versity biological station grounds,
according to Prof. W. F. Ramsdell
who has just returned from the
station at Douglas ake.
In view of this, Dr. George R. La-
Rue, director of the biological sta-
tion, announced that the forestry
school is now co-operating in de-
veloping a considerable portion of
the wild land area of the station
into a model forestuproperty for
general scientific study purposes.
Professor Ramsdell is in charge of
such work with members of the
forestry faculty, and he is collabor-
ating with Dr. LaRue and his staff.
Much of the University's 3,500
acres at the station is typical of
the logged-off, burned-over terri-
tory of upper Michigan, and a large
part of the native seedling growth
has been killed by fires during the
last 15 years. Here it is that arti-
ficial reforestation is planned.
