Show This Week by Arthur Brisbane Keeping Out Buyers A Looking Forward Picture We Provided Spark Plugs Light in the Darkness Samuel Untermyer, well known New York lawyer, suggests that 11 would be neither unreasonable nor unjust for Jewish business men, and others who object to race or religious discrimination, to refrain for the present from buying goods manufactured in Mr. Hitler's country. coun-try. The quick acting Mr. Stalin has done more than suggest. When Mr. Hitler announced "Christ, if living, would lead the Nazis against the Communists," Stalin shifted an order for 18,000 tons of high grade steel from a Geramn to a French plant, and it is a cash transaction. In this country, important "buyers" "buy-ers" in commercial institutions are Americans of the Jewish race, as are those that send them to Europe Eur-ope to buy. It is probable that they will not go to Germany, being advised ad-vised that Jews are not wanted there. A new picture, "Looking Forward," For-ward," seen in Washington, D. C , and new shown all over the country, coun-try, is one that you should see. Named for President Roosevelt's recently published book, "Looking Forward," with the Preside nt's consent, it demonstrates the truth of President Roosevelt's saying that what the world requires today is the hope and courage of youth. The .story, ending happily, as many sad stories of today will end, is that ol modern business and depression, de-pression, a great firm driven to the wall, its employes added to the army of the unemployed because be-cause there is no money to pay them One of these employes, the part played by Lionel Barrymore, 'discharged 'dis-charged after 40 years of faithful service, grieves not for himself but for the downfall of a great firm. Mussolini suggests that Uncle Sam's foreign debt be paid in goods. How this country could absorb ten thousand million dollars worth of foreign made goods just now with so many of our workers idle is not clear. But suggestions from the able Mussolini are always welcome. wel-come. By the way, that powerful person per-son is sending twenty airplanes from Rome to Chicago to celebrate the opening of the big fair, a most extremely friendly gesture by a nation that has recently broken, and holds the world's air speed record. Mr. MacManus of Detriot would like you to know that Italy's plane setting the new record of almost 450 miles an hour used American-made American-made spark plugs. The next ah- record should be established by a plane all American Ameri-can made, not merely with the spark plugs American. Mrs. Ethel Frisch, blind for five years, recovers her sight and tells friends: "You have no idea how beautiful the world looks." Even oilcloth on her kitchen floor looks beautiful, and sunshine fills her with happiness. If those who complain so bitterly bitter-ly because prosperity has temporarily tempor-arily flown out of the window, could be blind for a while and regain re-gain their sight,- there would be little complaining in the world. Mexico will find in Josephus Daniels, sent by President Roosevelt, Roose-velt, a man indifferent to threats and eager to promote international internation-al friendship. He is an American, and nothing else, the right man to develop among nations on the two American continents the friendship and co-operation that eventually will make them independent of the outside world. When Mr. Daniels refers to Mexico as a "brother country," ht-speaks ht-speaks from his heart. All his interests in-terests are on our side of the Atlantic At-lantic and Pacific Oceans. The American baseball season starts, but with Lou Gehrig hitting hit-ting for the Yankees "a big home run" that should have been hit by Babe Ruth, who is paid to hit big home runs. British visitors read in Damon Runyon's narrative: "Gehrig's Homer Gives Yanks Win Over Hubsox at Opener. Rup-pert Rup-pert Nine Brews Three Runs in Initial Frame." How much of that do you think the British understand? With taxation constantly increasing, in-creasing, the French learn that war doesn't pay, even when you win. A great French store says that 71 per cent of its profits goes to the French Government for taxes, only 29 to stockholders. Clement Cle-ment Vautel, well known writer, says the State gets pay for seven of every ten lines he writes. He gets the other three. Sir Henry Hallett Dale, director of the National Institute for Medical Medi-cal Research in England, here to lecture at Johns Hopkins University, Univer-sity, is one of the greatest biochemists bio-chemists in the world, engaged in work that will be important to human beings as long as we stay on this earth. Therefore, nobody knows anything about him. If he came here as "contender for the heavyweight championship," everybody every-body would know all about him Income taxpayers will rejoice to hear that innocent little 3.2 beer is expected to pay Uncle Sam more than the $125,000,000 annually, estimated es-timated by Secretary Ogden L. Mills. |
