PEACE CAMPAIGN
TO OPEN ON AIR
%
Mrs. Roosevelt Scheduled to
Speak With Others on
April 21.
ANATION-WIDE emergency
peace campaign to mobilize
sentiment in America against
war and to bring about polit
ical and economic changes necessary
to remove the causes of war through
out the world will be launched over
an N. B. C. network Tuesday, April 21,
by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, George
Lansbury, noted British Laborite, and
Kirby Page, author and lecturer.
The drive, which is being arranged
by the peace section of the American
Friends Service Committee, will be
conducted during the next two years.
Leaders of various peace organiza
tions. religious, labor groups and stu- l
dent organizations are co-operating.
The goal of the campaign, according;
to Ray Newton, executive secretary, is
•‘to keep the United States out of war .
and to achieve world peace by (1) sub-'
stituting political action for war and
bringing about the use of pacific
means for settling disputes; (2) ad
justing economic conditions to relieve i
present international tensions and
rivalries, and <3) by teaching indi- j
Viduals to denounce the war method j
as a principle of religious faith and J
&s a means of combating the growth j
of militarism and the war spirit,”
Peace caravans of young men and
Women will be organized and sent out. ;
Bummer work camps will be estab
lished where young people may work
during the day and devote their eve
nings to developing the philosophy of
peace.
T5ETTE DAVIS, winner of the Mo
tion Picture Academy of Arts and
Sciences award for the best perform
ance by an actress in 1935, will be ;
presented In George Broadhurst’s play,
“Bought and Paid For,” as the Radio
Theater guest on Monday, March 30,
over a Columbia network. Miss Davis

successive Saturdays. Thewman, who
was closely associated with Brahms
for three years, served as stage direc
tor at the “'Met” from 1920 until
the retirement of Gatti-Casazza last
season. 1
Ties of Past
Harassing
Europe.
Hitler Plays Cards to
Win England Over to
Mid-Europe Plan.
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON.
BEHIND the discussions going
on in London, the statements
of rights, the appeals to rea
son, the proposal for a new
arms and economic conference, are
certain Implacable facts, certain in
exorable forces, which in the end will
determine Europe's destiny.
_ The first is
* .that should the
I German proposals
be accepted, and
Europe recon
structed with
practically every
thing in the
treaty of Versailles
eliminated e x -
cept its territorial
provisions, Ger
many would soon
by sheer force of
disciDlined num
i . bers, dominate
_ .. _w the continent,
Dorothy Thompson. ^ ^ &
tary and as a political power. There
are twice as many Germans in
Europe as there are Frenchmen. This,
and not any immediate fear that her
Eastern frontier will be violated, is
the basis of French apprehension.
The second is that Great Britain,
both by treaty and by the most posi
tive self-interest, is committed to
maintaining the territorial integrity
of France, even by war if necessary.
This was a fact in 1914, as the war
proved, but it had not been openly
affirmed. Today it is.
But, and this is the third fact,
Great Britain is not willing to com
mit herself to maintaining by force of
her arms, and for eternity, the posi
tion which France has held on the
continent since the war. Public opin
ion in England is not willing, and it
would be impossible to commit the
British dominions to such a purpose.
Seeks British Aid.
The Germans are perfectly aware
of the exact limits of British enthu
siasm for France, and it is Mr. Hit
ler's primary policy to exploit them
for all they are worth. Collaboration
with Britain is the first article in his
foreign policy. In this he is absolutely
consistent. Twelve years ago, when
he first published “Mein Kampf,” he
excoriated pre-war German diplomacy
for bringing about a breaR with Bri
tain by its colonial policy and naval
race; he advocated relinquishing Al
sace Lorraine forever and forcing an
eventual settlement with France,
peaceably if possible, by war if neces
sary. only for the purpose of winning
for Germany a free hand in the east.
He said that Germany could only
choose between Britain and Russia,,
and that pre-war Germany had man
aged to alienate both.
It is clear that Hitler does not in
tend to choose Russia. On the con
trary, he has openly advocated bring
ing down bolshevism in Russia, has
predicted that Its collapse would be
the end of Russia as a unified state,
and that Germany would be its chief
heir.
Such a program, of course, Is one
of long range. Germany has no bor
der on Russia, and the first step would
| have to be to divorce the small east
ern and central European countries,
the Baltic states, Austria, Czechoslo
vakia, etc., from their close alliance
with France, and bring them under
3erman influence. The German pro
posals in London are a first step in
this direction.
England Reluctant.
But the hope of winning Great
Britain to a tolerant neutrality toward
; such a program is counteracted by
other facts and forces which Mr. Hit
ler has apparently not considered so
carefully. Until the League of Na
tions plebiscite, shortly before the
Ethiopian affair, England was hold
ing herself increasingly aloof from the
continent, and the League's prestige
was declining in official British circles.
England could afford this attitude be
cause of her friendship with Italy,
which, resting upon long tradition and
the historic strength of the British
fleet, assured her security in the Med
iterranean. This traditional friend
j ship went so far that when the
1 Ethiopian affair became acute and
the foreign office queried the ad
miralty as to what plans it had in
case of a British-Italian conflict, it
was discovered that the admiralty
had none at all. The whole action
of the British fleet was therefore im
provised. In the Ethiopian conflict
England learned, first, that the Italian
power in the Mediterranean was more
formidable than she had supposed,
and, second, that unless she stuck
very close to France and the League
she might have to fear an alliance
between these two, who could between
them control Gibraltar and the Suez
Canal. France is essential to Great
Britain. Germany is not. And this
fact is seen most clearly by those men
in England, like Winston Churchill,
who are experts on military and naval
matters.
- France Spurns Small Rale.
France could purchase from Ger
many right now a guarantee of secur
ity which, with British collaboration,
would probably secure her peace for
generations. But In doing so she
would consent to retire as a first-class
power and pass that role over to her
late enemy. France has a whole net
work of allies in Central and Eastern
Europe, and upon them her prestige
rests. It was shaken when she al
lowed Germany to begin rearming
without more than formal protest.
That resulted in Poland's making a
settlement with Germany and drifting
somewhat away from French con
trol. If France now gives in on the
matter of the Rhineland there will
be only one course open to Austria,
Czechoslovakia and the other small
Eastern nations, and that will be
either to draw closer to Russia or to
make their peace with Germany on
the best terms they can. The Poles,
Czechs and Austrians are bound to be
lieve that if France will not act to
prevent German guns being set up at
her own border she will hardly act In
behalf of outraged Czechs or Austri
ans in some distant future. The
French peasant might fight today for
a menaced Strassbourg, but hardly to
morrow for a menaced Prague.
If'France would resign herself to a
secondary role. In exchange for secur
ity, war would perhaps not be immedi
ate or necessary, provided that the
rest of Europe, and especially Great
Britain, collaborated to assist German
economic reconstruction.
That is another big factor. The
Nazi system depends upon rearma
ment and public works, vast sacrifices
from the population, prompted by
periodic patriotic saturnalias. Experts
believe that the Nazi financial situa
tion is very serious, and that without
assistance from outside it may crack.
Does the rest of Europe want to keep
it from cracking? And if it cracks,
what will Germany do? Break out
somewhere else?

TARZAN AND THE LEOPARD MEN. —By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
]
When Sobito uttered the dreadful name of the
Taloned Death, Tarzan noted that a strange and
ghastly horror crept into the faces of the villagers.
Tarzan brightened. Now at last, perhaps, he could
obtain some hint of the nature of this Thing for
which he was seeking.
“What Is this Taloned Death?” he asked casually.
Hardly had he spoken when his friend Orando
leaped forward and clapped a hand over his mouth,
shaking his head In earnest warning. From a dis
tance, the witch doctor beheld the tableau and
chuckled.
"Your friend does well to warn you,” he shouted,
“for no man dare mention even the name of the
Taloned Death except those of us who deal with
demon things. It is mightier than the mightiest
of men. Even the most potent spirits are power*
less against it.'*
Tarzan saw a chance to encourage the people to
help him track down this mysterious thing. He
would reveal himself as their fearless champion.
He called out boldly: "Go you now, Sobito, and
conjure up this Thing against me, I would do battle
with the Taloned Death!”

There’s nothing to compare it with! r .
You will find the Lincoln-Zephyr something
altogether new in your motoring experience.
In developing a car to sell at medium price,
Ford and Lincoln engineers have actually de»
signed a car that is like no other at any price.
HERE is the only car under $3,000
with a V-12 engine. It develops 110
horsepower, with 12-cylinder smooth
ness—yet gives fourteen to eighteen
miles to the gallon of fuel!
Here is a new type of body structure,
on a springbase eleven inches longer
than the 122-inch wheelbase. The re
sults are luxuriously generous 6-passen
ger seating, sweeping visibility from
every seat, and a gliding levelness of
motion even on the poorest roads.
Here are transverse springs and a new
formula for balancing weight, that give
impregsive stability even on sharp turns.
Here, briefly, is the first of a new class
of motor car. We invite you to drive it,
to learn for yourself how far it advances
the standards of medium-priced car
value. The Lincoln-Z£phyr is made in
two sedan body-types. Convenient UCC
terms—*4% per month on original un
paid balance. Priced, £-|
