degree, but that they are downright untrust-
worthy. The Republicans, he says in all truth,
have nothing for the electorate. The Communists
incur Mr. Pinchot's tacit disapproval.
Then which is the way to turn?
Mr. Pinchot's remarks about a qualified state
ownership are vague, although probably necessar-
ily so. He fails to mention the profit motive, but
since he supported Roosevelt, who has many
times openly given his allegiance to a "just" profit,
he must stand for a "modified" capitalism. The
danger of following this line of economic and po-
litical thought, however, is that it may lead to a
Fascist government which operates "from above"
through cooperative organization of industry and
labor. Mr. Pinchot's proposed scheme of govern-
mental regulation sounds as much like Signor Mus-
solini's corporative state as anything else.
The idea of an America constructed along the
lines of present-day Italy will not appeal to many.
The German slugfests show where economic
chaos may lead a Fascist state of a slightly dif-
fering mold.
The Democratic party has failed, Mr. Pinchot

H OW LONG will capitalism last in the
United States?
Where does President Roosevelt stand?
Does the New Deal have any unified policy for
relieving distress in our country?
To what banner can the young liberal turn
today?
The answers to these questions, or at any rate
one set of answers to them, are contained in a
recent letter from Amos Pinchot, brother of the
former governor of Pennsylvania, to his friend,
Prof. Felix Frankfurter of Harvard. Mr. Pinchot's
close analysis of the New Deal and what it stands
for is made doubly interesting by the fact that
he voted for President Roosevelt and worked dil-
igently for his election.
Mr. Pinchot says, in sum, that he is "no longer
gambler enough to support the New Deal."
Then Mr. Pinchot goes on to state that "Roose-
velt with all his fine, kind-heartedness is failing
because he follows no consecutive line, and appar-
entIy doesn't think things through to the end.
"He permits -monopoly and price-fixing by big
business.
"Then he comes out for the Sherman anti-trust
law. He tries to set up a managed economy, which
is impossible without a fine highly-trained and
non-political civil service, but lets Farley smash
the civil service whenever it's necessary to streng-
then his political machine."
The writer proceeds to attack the Rooseveltian
"doubling-back" money policy, and then basically
attacks the New Deal as follows:
"In general his (the President's) policy seems to
have been, 'Well, if this doesn't work, we'll find
something else.' The only things he has been
consistent in are regimentation and a steady trans-
fer of function from Capitol Hill to the White
House. Already he has concentrated so much
power in the executive that in the hands of any
but the most intelligent, wise, and scrupulous Pres-
ident, it becomes a threat to Democratic govern-
ment."
Mr. Pinchot thrashes out the pros and cons of
the Rooseveltian humanitarian moves giving the
brain trust some credit but characterizing many
of the Washington -professors as "moralists with
a short-sighted social worker point of view."
"I've come to feel," Mr. Pinchot says, "that the
New Deal has not merely prolonged the depression,
but pretty thoroughly ruined, for the time being,
the possibility of a constructive political and
economic movement. It has gathered under its
wing . . . the younger, liberal-minded people .--
and has left them in the blind alley of unworkable
regimentation. It has propagandized against de-
mocracy. . . and there's nothing left for them (the
liberals) to do but be inactive or to go clean over
to the Communists, or to a hopeless Republican
Party that has learned nothing from the depres-
sion ..."
Mr. Pinchot expresses next his belief that "cap-
italism has a long time to run in the United States"
and that the only way to make it "workable" is to
"break the monopoly control of men of great
wealth over the tran'sportation system, the na-
tural resources of the country and the monetary
system." He would place "under Government
ownership" not only "railroads, the pipelines, and
other transportation agencies," but "all natural
resources." He favors a "non-partisan, non-polit-
ical authority, analogous to the Supreme Court,
for the control of money."
John Strachey pointed out in his lecture here
some months ago that no Communist who knows
what he's talking about would advocate the down-
fall of capitalism "if capitalism would work." Nor
would anyone else, it seems. Why change if all is
well?
However, it appears that since 1929 all has been
distinctly not well with the world, our own nation
included. But the Communists are not unique in
recognizing this fact. The liberal Democrats, the
says.
The Republicans have nothing to offer, he con-
tinues.-
He points out vague remedies which have to do
with a "state capitalistic" structure, with owner-
ship of some great public interests vested in the
government.
With this set-up, who can blame American youth
for turning wonderingly toward the quack Mes-
siahs?
There doesn't seem to be much left, politically
to attract a 21-year-old pioneer of 1935.
Diplomatic Cunning{
Is England's .. .
s LOWLY THE CONVICTION is,
growing that England, besides hav-
ing the most outstanding individual diplomat on
the Continent in the person of Anthony Eden
has also one of the most shrewd corps in the
world. Although the British have traditionally
denied any particular cunning in the conduct of
their international affairs, the last five weeks
have bared perhaps the greatest diplomatic coup
since the war -and by the British.'
Just five weeks ago there was announced a
new naval pact between Great Britain and Ger-
many - the Reich to confine its navy by the treaty
to 30 per cent of the size of Great Britain's.
While the immediate effect almost precipitated a
break between the war allies, more mature obser-
vation showed the sagacity of the British move.
Here was Great Britain simply admitting an
existent state of fact in allowing the expansion
of German armaments in contravention of the
Versailles Peace Treaty, a contravention which
may logically be supported in international law,
as George A. Finch told an audience here this
week.
This week Great Britain has announced what
completes the coup in the paradoxical statement
that treaty limitations by ratios will have to be
abandoned in future agreements. The statement
is paradoxical in view of the fractional basis upon
which the Anglo-German agreement was reached.
But consideration shows the astute character
of the latest move. With existing treaty provisions
nearing expiration and no immediate apparent
hope of extending them on the old basis, the
British are simply anticipating a reality.
So, when naval negotiations are reopened, it
will be found that Great Britain will be really
speaking for Germany as well as itself in negotia-
tion, for the shrewd British have successfully muf-
fled the Reich by their early commitment of the
Keich to Great Britain on that fractional basis.

j1EPRESENTATIVE MAURY MAVERICK of
Texas has found that the President is a very
good secretary.
Maverick tried for days by phone and letter
to get an appointment with Stephen Early, secre-
tary to the President, but he received no reply.
Finally, Maverick wrote to Mr. Roosevelt: "I
am having diffculty in reaching Mr. Early. Will
you be so kind as to help me in making an ap-
pointment with him?" The next day Early phoned
the Texan.
SENATOR RUSH D. HOLT of West Virginia re-
fuses to adopt the sugary style of correspon-
dence.
He received one letter which castigated him
severely for advocating the holding company bill.
It said, "It's a wonder to me such an intelligent
looking mother as yours could have such an ig-
norant son."
Holt replied: "Thank you for your kind remarks
about my mother."
Another man wrote to him: "Money invested
in utility stocks is safer than money invested in
congressional salaries."
Holt replied: "It seems to me your political
judgment is no sounder than your financial judg-
ment."
FIVE ALUMNI of Norwich university, Northfield,
Vt., hold occasional reunions in the capital.
Two died long ago, but they are parties to the
meetings.
The three living alumni are Representative
Charles A. Plumley, Senator Ernest W. Gibson and
Ruel Small, the oldest official reporter in the House.
The other two were Gideon Welles, Lincoln's sec-
retary of the navy, and Col. Truman B. Ransom,
once president of Norwich, and leader of the attack
on Chapultepec in the war with Mexico.
Welles' picture appears in a painting of the Lin-
coln cabinet outside the House gallery, and Ran-
som's'in a painting of the Chapultepec charge
outside the Senate gallery.
The three Vermonters now at the capital visit
the two pictures periodically to reminisce about
old Norwich.
Henry Suydam, special assistant to the attor-
ney general, is going to visit Alcatraz, the gov-
ernment's island prison off San Francisco this
summer because, he says, "If I don't get in
there while I'm in the department of jus-
tice, I'll never get the chance - I hope."
Representative Percy L. Gassaway of Oklahoma
has three pairs of those high-heeled boots he wears.
Two are decorated with patterns in color, and one
is a plain black pair for evening wear. He says
lie never has owned a pair of ordinary shoes.
(APITOLISMS: Senator John Bankhead of Al-
abama is a Phi Beta Kappa; Representative
Robert L. Doughton of North Carolina is camera
shy; Secretary Ickes of Interiori won't ride in a
boat if he can avoid it; Representative Hubert
Utterback of Iowa was born in a log cabin; Sen-
ator Arthur Capper of Kansas started as a type-
setter in the Topeka newspaper he now owns; Sen-
ator George W. Norris of Nebraska built his sum-
mer home himself, after he had passed his sixtieth
birthday.
Representative Dennis Driscoll of Pennsyl-
vania met his wife when she was- a student in
his classMs. But now, he says, he's going to
school to her.
Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas was engaged
in a bitter verbal battle with Senator Thomas
D. Schall of Minnesota on the Senate floor. For
the moment Robinson couldn't remember Schall's
name.
He stumbled, "This - this -," and ended, "This
misrepresentative from Minnesota."
Washingtonians refer to the garden back of
of the White House pompously as the "south
grounds."
The chief resident of the mansion, President
Roosdvelt, calls it "the back yard."

Any Shakespearean tragedy in unadulterated
form is certainly a feat making no small demands
in the hands of super-actors Othello, the offering
of the Repertory Players this week, is particularly
difficult, since the plot is purely psychological and
external action in minimum. That the Play
Production group's performance didn not fiasco
may be accredited chiefly to capable direction, and
an excellent handling of the principal role.
The most glaring defect in the production was
the frequent tedium of speeches and scenes.
Though Shakespearean scholars declaim it as
heresy, a judicious cutting would have added im-
measurably to the sustained interest and comfort
of the audience, required to sit through a three
and one-half hour performance.
Frederick Crandall, assistant director of the
company, handled the heavy and exacting title
role with fine skill. The dignity and poise of
Othello in the earlier scenes, contrasted with
his emotional break-down in the latter, were ren-
dered with ease and artistry.
Second honors go to Frank Funk for his suffi-
ciently iniquitous interpretation of the villain Iago.
His smooth rendition of Shakespearean verse is
particularly noteworthy.
Though Hattie Bell Ross as the ill-starred bride
of Othello, performed the majority of her scenes
gracefully, she lacked the stage presence to make

"COLLEGE SCANDAL"
S** PLUS
A Paramount picture with Arline Judge, Wendy
Barrie, William Frawley, and Kent Taylor. Also a
Paramount newsreel.
What might at first seem a rather dubious mix-
ture -murder and college - turn out surprisingly
well in "College Scandal" - a really intriguing
thriller.
The campus, as Hollywood knows it, is an amus-
ing psychological study. The group of wholesome,
clean-living, fun-loving young people of "College
Scandal" are but slightly abashed when three of
their number are murdered, and they plunge zest-
fully into the solution of the crime.
The mystery is well-constructed, with no let
downs. The popular song, "In the Middle of a
Kiss," is a pleasant addition. You'll have a good
time watching this one unfold.

A Warner Brothers picture, starring Kay Fran-
cis, with George Brent, Patricia Ellis, Donald
Woods, and Barton MacLane.
This is a depressing and painful account of the
love of swarthy Kay Francis and George Brent, a
rude, snobbish, and stupid construction engineer
who is building the largest bridge ever, although
he appears to be fresh from college.
Warner Brothers rings the bell again with an-
other explanation of why and how strikes ark made.
It seems that those mean old labor racketeers get
the workers drunked up with hard liquor, and when
the boss objects they stage a walk out. Or isn't
that logical?
Anyway "Stranded" is pretty feeble.
