Another Munich Plan For Spain? .... AST SATURDAY the Insurgent gov- ernment in Spain celebrated the sec- ond anniversary of General Franco's assumption of power. In his speech on that occasion there was the usual prophecy of the "arrival of an ,early day of victorious peace." With the settle- ment of the Czech crisis,,the future of the Span- ish struggle and its international complications becomes the most important problem of Euro- pean diplomacy. Analyzing the meager newspaper accounts of the last few days for possible indi- cations; two conflicting viewpoints appear. The first opinion is that Mussolini is tired of the war and plans to remove hs troops, if he has not begun to do so already. Franco's drive in te Ebro valley has been stopped. The war has reached a stalemate and there is little hope for a Fascist victory before next spring. It has been reported that during the recent crisis, Franco had pledged neutrality to France in the event that general hostilities would break out. This statement has not been denied by the Insurgents. Furthermore, the ,oyalists are evacuating all foreign volunteers, which leaves Mussolini little justification for aiding Franco with his conscript- ed volunteers. Finally, some correspondents have mentioned the Anglo-Italian agreement of last Easter. Mussolini needs the financial assistance of Great Britain badly, but he cannot receive that aid until the removal of his troops which would put the treaty into effect. On the other hand, The New York Times re- porter in Rome, who has been called a sympathiz- er of Mussolini by the liberal periodicals, points out that although Mussolini would like to desert Franco, he has committed himself too far to back out now. At Munich it was stated that Chamber- lain and Mussolini were going to confer soon over the Spanish situgtion. After the events at Munich and Berchtesgaden we cannot see how Chamberlain's belief that democracies can exist side-by-side with dictatorships and his methods of appeasement at the cost of democracy will do anything but abet the triumph of fascism once again. In the press report of Franco's celebra- tion Saturday, it was mentioned that among the foreign guests there was a representative of Great Britain. His presence at the rebel capital on this occasion ca only be regarded as signifi- cant of Chamberlain's attitude. One thing is clear and cerain about the dark complexity of international diplomacy centering around Spain. The Loyalists will never accept a peace whose terms concede to foreign powers any of their territory or resources. A peace which is forced upon Spain under such conditions will be most dearly bought. --Alvin Dann Broken Promises And Mussolini . A RECENT DAILY contained a most interesting letter from M. Levi point- ing out in what measure Herr Hitler has kept Jfeeinr tMe Heywood Broun I was talking with an art critic about painting yesterday, and so, naturally, the name of Adolf Hitler came up. The course of world history has been vastly affected by the fact that the Fuehrer isn't a very good painter. "But don't set him down as just terrible-as a painter, I mean," said the critic, cast- ing a disapproving eye at an early Broun which hung heavy over his head. "I've seen some of Hitler's water colors," the critic continued, "and some of his charcoal sketches. I believe all his paintings have been done in water color." The same medium he uses for treaties and territorial guarantees," I suggested, but the critic waved me off to indicate that he wished to dis- cuss art and not world politics. "These pictures of Hitler's" he explained, "are very nice-not good, you understand, but nice. I saw them before he became a dictator, and so the irony of the contrast between his political sweep .and the scope of his painting escaped me. The mood is timid and the treatment conventional. His subject matter consisted of' the streets of tiny towns and peaceful landscapes. Everything I saw was done in small compass. * ~* * Hitler's Little Houses "The drawing was quite good, although entirely static. The little houses were set down with ac- curacy. They rather suggested the sort of stuff an architectural draftsman might do on a Sun- day afternoon for his own amusement. Decidedly they seemed to be the work of a person who could do something else more effectively. "As I remember, Hitler the artist never tackled any figures. No one walked in the streets which he painted or played in the shade of the big trees which he depicted so rigidly. I have a vague recollection that there were a few sheep in some of the landscapes, competent and contented.The detail escapes me. This was several years ago, but even if I had seen these water colors more recent- ly it would be difficult to carry away any very striking impression. "The spirit was one of lifelessness and of sur- render. And this was heightened by the meager color sense of the man. No sky which he painted was a glowing bowl. Instead, he left a light blue curtain down behind the uncompromising green of his forests. The world at which this small man scratched seemed to be closing in on him. You had no sense of anything beyond the horizon- or, indeed, of any horizon. Possibly I exaggerate in retrospect, but now I think that even whe he did an open field, it contained spiritually a sign which read 'Verboten.' The Sunday Painter "I started off to talk about art to the exclusion of other things. I suppose that even here we have felt desperately the tension of war and the rumors of war. But you cannot divorce the personality even of a Sunday painter from the things he does with line and color. "I did not know it then, but now I know why, long ago, I had an uneasy feeling in looking at the nice., quiet, uninspired water colors of Adolf Hitler. I have said that they were peaceful. But it was not a comforting peacefulness. It was a frozen world he captured. No leaf stirred, and no child romped. And now I know the secret. Hitler, the little man with the water colors, did not paint peace. He painted death. "Almost a generation ago Hitler moved humbly about Munich carrying under his arm a sheaf of his drawings and his paintings, and sought some master who would accept him as a pupil. His talents were too meager, and his colors were too dim. They all refused. It is a pity no one took him up. He might still be painting sheep instead of offering to lead them to slaughter." The Editor Gets Told... Recognition For Murphy To the Editor: Let's not wander so far afield to find favorite sons for the U. of M. Tom Dewey may have been a fine public prosecutor, but his recent political activity places him definitely in the category of "window-dressing for the machine," because the political groups he now represents are distin- guishable from Tammany only by their inability to achieve the sordid goal, which the Tiger "suc- cessfully" did achieve. Months ago Dewey decried politics and promised to clean up Tammany, even if it took several years. Perhaps he peeked too much, but suddenly he finds himself called to a "higher mission." What miserable logic this is, when the State of New York has the finest of state administrations and the policy racket is flourishing better than ever in New York City. But enough of over-ambitious public prosecutors -I believe the people of New York will chastise such a lapse of public responsibility. There is a better choice for a favorite son sit- ting in the governor's chair in nearby Lansing. Frank Murphy is recognized throughout the union as one of the ablest of the 48 governors. He first introduced Lansing to scientific public adminis- tration and began the tremendous task of taking The FLYING TRAPEZE By Roy Heath Note: This s some more stuff on those Czechs. Czechs, as a steady diet, are likely to become more than a little bor- ing. If you feel at all tired of it all, Il can recommend Press Passes over onl the sports page. I hate to worry this topic any long- er. Magdol and Mayio have castigat- ed Chamberlain, Mussolini, Hitler,. and myself and the international sit- l uation stands about as it was before they started. Speaking for the four of us. Magdol old man, we are just going to let 'er ride for a while. If you want to go on tilting windmills that is all right with me. But you will have to find another sparring partner. I am not adept at rhetorical rabbit punching and I always find myself "running on the wrong track" as soon as I express an opinion con-1 trary to someone else's. I do not denyl that I am an ex-high school editor. I can remember when I used to write scathing editorials denouncing anyone1 who did not show the proper enthusi- asm for my pet undertakings and dog- mas. As to the romantic charge well, I'll admit I have my moments. Now, about that statement with re- gard to "a certain Great Leader of about nineteen hundred years ago'' according to you who "spoke to a handful of men." I suggest youcbrush up on your Bible. As I recall the stories, He always talked to a full house but the day when he endeavored to hold His crowd past lunch time, He would have been talking to a "hand- ful of men," and restive men at that, if He hadn't done some pretty fast and fancy work with some sardines and crackers which someone hap- pened tor have on their person. I don't know why.I keep on with this unless it will ultimately lead us to some concrete conclusion. I think I have exactly what is needed. It is known as "Heath's Theory of The Vicious Circle" ' or "The Czechs Brought It On Themselves." During' the World War, the Czechs were fa- mous chiefly for the fact that they hopped from one side of the battle line to the other, fighting first on one side and then on the other. Sometimes they shot at both sides just for the hell of it. This gives rise to that pop- ular bon mot," Czech and Double Czech," which later, as everyone knows, brought on Amos 'n Andy. They went along well enough for some years, until Mussolini, heard them one night and decided thatl something should be done about them. Benito thought they were Ethiopian ;pies. The next day Italy marched on Ethiopia and got away with it. This tipped off Hitler that no one would do anything abouthit if he grabbed a little territory. He has finally gotten around to Czechoslo- vakia and even if they don't deserve it they brought it on themselves. And I that, as far as I am conceined, is that. Maybe it is a hangover from three years on the sports staff, but I still can't resist the temptation to pick the winners of Saturday's games. I don't want to go into the business in a big way since that is the business of the Sportscribes. However, those little white slips so temptingly strewn around in the campus drug stores which offer about half enough odds for picking from four to seven games are fair game for this space. Here- with my choices: Four Games at 7-1 Michigan over @hicago Santa Clara over Texas A&M N.Y.U. over Rutgers Pittsburgh over Duquesne Five Games at 13-1 Cornell over Harvard Six Games at 20-1 Oklahoma over Texas Seven Games at 30-1 Ohio State over Southern California JUSTIFIABLE SKEPTICISM Poli.

An abiding impression of beauty in music, costumes and settinng is created by the portrayal of the tragic love affair between the Archduke Rudolp of Austria and the lovely young Marie Vetsera. he picturing of the nineteenth century Vienna and the romantic situation of an emperor who isn't free to love demands delicacy of treatment. "Mayerling" fulfills this demand. Beautiful though it is, the film lacks unity. Its scenes are arranged in neat little patterns: gayety followed by sadness; youth and goodness, contrasted with authority and intrigue. The tran- sition between these contrasting scenes is weak; the audience is plunged from summer to winter and back again without any spring or fall to smooth the change. "Mayerling's" chief virtue lies in the complete and convincing effectiveness of several scenes. In the opera scene, when the love affair receives its first real impetus, the contrast between the stiff, unrealistic dancers upon the stage and the natural beauty of the young Marie is clearly shown. In addition the splendor and pageantry are sufficient to make it memorable. One of the best scenes in the picture shows Rudolph in a mood of itter despondency, trying to forget himself in debauchery. The wine, women and song theme is carried out to perfection in the portrayal of a gay orgy. The madly whirling dancers, the flowing wine and the absence of his love work Rudolph to a pitch cf self-forget- fulness. According to the pattern of gaeity fol- lowed by solemnity, Marie makes her appear- ance. In this scene her power over Rudolph and his need of her are most clearly brought out. The final episode, showing the tragic deaths at Mayerling, seemed lacking in dramatic intensity. Since the suicide pact had been anticipated, the element of suspense was almost totally absent. You are certain that the death of the lovers will end the picture; you expect it and thus the shock is lessened. Danielle Darrieux's portrayal of the sheltered innocent young Marie is extremely convincing. We see her character grow from a timid, fright- ened little girl, bound by convention and her mother's rule, into a mature lover, poised, self- assured and fearless. Charles Boyer's conception of the -'Crown Prince is stirring, but rather monotonous. In only one scene in the entire film does he smile, and while his lot is tragic, there must be some time when his love would make him forget his un- happiness. Yet in the role of the dashing young son of the House of Hapsburg he realizes his nart well. He makes us feel the desperation of a Lectures University Lecture: Dr. Harold S.
