The demand for a dictatorship in Japan is based on, the allegation, also made in other parts of the world, that "the politicians are ruining the country." It is claimed that a violently nationalistic regime is necessary to save the nation.

The contest, which will be open to the public, will begin at 8 o'clock under direction of Dr. J. Freeman The danger that "young Japan" yet may plunge the Orient into war is all the greater because the Japanese diet, althought it has little real power, already is terrorized and completely under the spell of the War Party.

i War Fund Voted Speedily Meeting in extraordinary session March 20 to vote funds for the war in China, the Diet did so without a dissenting voice. The "death band" had demonstrated pretty effectively what it was capable of doing to those upon whom its wrath might chance to fall. Dr. Inazo Nitobe, of the House of Peers, was compelled to get up out of his sick-bed and appear before the Ex-Service Men's Association and apologize for having said mili Sackcloth Becomes- Electra BUT I WILL grant that, on the whole, the theater has benefited from the 'end ot "good time Charlie" days. Lack of funds has undoubtedly prevented the production of certain worthy works, but just look at what it has done to keep trash in the upper desk drawer, where it belongs.

Moreover, judgment has been, in most cases, swift and decisive. I do not mean to become a belated convert to the cause of Sirovich and agree that dramatic critics have been too eager to step upon the prostrate bodies. It is the audiences which have been unusually quick in deciding what they liked and what they hated. Never in my long experience hereabouts have people stayed away from the shoddy and the meretricious in such numbers. The reason is obvious enough.

When money grew on every bush and shouted. "Come-and pluck me!" patrons dropped in upon a play much as they might board a subway. And if the comedy into which they sauntered turned out to be a Bronx local rather than a Broadway express there was no hard feeling. The disappointed spectator as likely as not would smile at the end of a terrible performance and say. "The joke's on me." But today going to the theater takes on all the glamour of high adventure.

In a day of balanced budgets no hoarder is going to seek coveted pasteboards unless he is reasonably sure of an adequate return. Broadway has begun to function under the Darwinian hypothesis, and only the fit survive. (Continued from Page 1) are so absurd as not to warrant the dignity of an official denial.

"The time is not far off, I believe, when private charity, while still essential at times and in places, will be almost obsolete.

Already three-quarters of relief is derived from taxation." The Governor made no mention of his intentions of calling another special session of the Legislature for the enactment of unemployment relief in Pennsylvania.
