THE FLANDERS RETREAT
HOSE who have followed the Belgium-France war
1 map from day to day observe that the area that
at the outbreak of the western battle was occupied by
ti’.e combined British-Frcnch-Belgian forces contracts
lrom day to day grows smaller and smaller.
Four-fifths of the British troops have been
evacuated from the area in addition to thousands on
thousands of French and Belgians—Belgians who elect-
ed to continue lighting alter their king had given up
the tight.
Thus is being completed a military movement of
abandonment which promises to go down in history as
the epic of the ages. It has been an orderly movement.
It has been a courageous movement. The morale that
has accompanied an evacuation under file from land and
lrom overhead every hour every minute for days has
astounded an admiring world. Nothing short of great
military genius saved to Allied arms an army estimated
at from 300.000 to half a million men perhaps more.
Now a comparatively few soldiers of the Allied
forces remain in the Dunkirk area. They are fighting
the last ditch light literally. Valiant courageous fight-
ers those British those French and those Belgians
who are standing off the enemy outnumbered four to
«ix to one while their comrades are loading on boats
% of every kind for their temporary escape from the
hellfire of this most bloody most destructive of all the
wars of all time.
These hundreds of thousands of Allied troops have
endured pounding from three sides on land for twenty
ciays. For twenty days they have withstood the blast-
ing of maddening attacks from the skies. They have
lought like men who are perfectly willing to die that
their peoples may live. Yet those who have been for-
tunate enough to escape back to England are ready for
the orders which will carry them back into the thick
of a hell that they have known and suffered for days
that seemed like months. *
rsritisn omcial sources say that four-titths ot the
British forces in Belgium or about 140.000 have been
returned to England in this ably handled evacuation
of Flanders. The other thousands have been French
and Belgians. How has it been done? More brave deeds
the stories of which will never be known until there
is an opportunity to tell of it in retrospect. Every type
of ship that could withstand the rough waters of the
English channel was used. Fishing boats trawlers mer-
chant ships hospital ships cruisers destroyers—every
type of ship that could be found in the waters of the
world's greatest maritime nation the British Isles.
Many of the rescue vessels doubtless perished in
the perilous trip across the channel. German flyers
straffed them from overhead submarines and torpedo
boats from th^ waters ground artillery from inland. It
must have been an inferno.
Those Allied troops caught in that Flanders trap
seemingly betrayed hv the King of the Belgians kept
their discipline. They retained their morale. They have
maintained the military traditions of their respective
nations in the finest sense of the word. And we venture
to predict these traditions will be maintained to the
last man who leaves the bloody ground of the great
Battle of Flanders.
BRAZIL BECKONS
THERE is more living-space in Rrazil than in any
other spots on the face of the globe.
Brazil seeks immigrants as the United States sought
them a century ago. Her National Council of Immigra-
tion and Colonization is starting a plan to attract farm-
ers from the American countries. A flood of requests
for information has come from the United States in-
dicating that there are still some seekers after the
frontier who are interested in pioneering. The frontier
has shifted from the west to the north and south.
Brazil which used to admit only 86 immigrants a year
from the United States has now made that 8000 and
has also opened the gates to 100000 Finns.
The coming development of South America is be-
yond ouestion. Like all frontiers it will offer to some
success to others disappointment. But it is reassuring
to see that manv Americans still have their eyes fixed
on lands beyond the horizon.

AVIATION LOSSES
When the Senate voted to ap-
prove the President : fourth reor-
ganization plan it threw domestic
a via t.on to the political wolves.
Independence of the Civil Aero-
nautics Authority and a fact-find-
ing. but not penalty-imposing Air
Safety Boar*’ had both produced
excellent results during the short
time they were in effect. Now the
C A A. will be under the virtual
control of Secretary of Commerce
Hopkins The Air Safety Board is
abolished and it* functions turned
over to the C A A which will act
as prosecutor. Judge. Jury and
executioner in the manner the ad-
ministration favors for regula.ory
commissions. The President says
the secretary of commerce will be
King Log in dealing with aircraft.
But unless Mr Hopkins has chang-
ed considerably lately he is more
apt to be King Stork. Friends of
aviation wdll have to hope for the
best and put up with the rhaia'ce
until the situation can be remedied.

JOBS AND MARRIAGES
More and more young men and
women on NYA are finding Jobs by
going out and hunting them. The
current problems of youth are real
but a Job goes a long way toward
alleviating all the rest. Last year it
was asserted at a Des Moines public
forum that the depression had
rolled up a deficit of ta*o million
marriages in the Uniter' Slates But
talcing the annual average of mar-
riages In pre-depression years it
appears that the accumulated
shortage for the four years 1930-33
was only half a million In the
following two years the marriage
curve shot up and more than fcsif
the deficit was wiped out Since
the rise in >uslness in 1937 «and
part of 1938) marriages have con-
tinued upard. Plenty of young men
and women have tough sledding
these days getting on their Teet
but the evidence that they are
finding Jobs and marrying is hard-
ly discouraging—Des Moines Reg-
ister.
VT/ASHINGTON — Hitler submit-
ted an alluring scheme to the
hesitant Duce to draw him into
the war.
The German Napoleon worked
out a full Joint military venture
which promises Mussolini every-
thing he wants in the Mediterra-
nean as well as a swift general
German victory. Basic element in
the plan which has definitely been
offered through the Italian am-
bassador in Berlin and otherwise
called for an Ital'an air attack
upon France timed simultaneously
with a German attack upon Brit-
ain. Mussolini is to hold the
French infantry on the line of
the Maritime Alps by threatening
attack there so as to prevent the
French from launching the full
force of their strength against
the Germans on the northern
Somme-Aisne front.
Such a cooperative venture Ber-
lin has assured Rome would guar-
antee a complete dictatorial vic-
tory within a few months.
—
"THE DIVERSION which Hitler
planned to have Mussolini
create on the seas is less im-
pressive. Italians would use their
bombing planes and naval craft to
threaten the 8ue*. Malta. Corsica
and Tunisia. with Just enough force
to keep the British Mediterranean
j fleet from being depleted to re-
inforce the British North Sea
squadron facing a German in-
va.'ion of England.
In short the strategy assigned
to MusiO’ini was the detention of
sufficient Allied land and sea
fjice* on a southern front to
permit Hitler to win the war in
the north.
—
MUSSOLINI HAS 5.000 planes.
but this Is just about all he
does have which would cause the
Allies heavy worry. One recent
check of the Italian air force Rave
Mussolini 6 000 fighting aircraft
another 5.000. and a detailed count
last March 15 conceded him 4.000
of which 1.800 were in reserve as
training ships. So the 5.000 figure
is certainly about right.
Such an air force even if
manned with considerably leas ef-
ficiency than the major fighting
powers might cast havoc upon
Paris and the industrial French
! regions if the Germans keep the
main forces of the French busy
The Italian infantry is probably
incapable of invading France even
with the main French army con-
centrated in the north. Mussolini
has often wanted to try that ven-
ture. however. It might be called
the Number 1 war hope of the
Italians general staff. But Hitler's
plan urged no such effort only
that the Italians keep the French
southern army occupied in the
Alpine passes.
"THE ALLIES would have less to
contend with in the Italian
fleet. The Italians have six bat-
tleship*. seven heavy cruisers. 15
light cruisers. 62 destroyers 63
torpedo boats 87 submarines and
75 speedboat aquaplanes carrying
one torpedo each.
The British have more than that
in the Mediterranean now. They
could operate their fleet artillery
against Italiar coastal cities (as
was done in Norway* and cause
the Italians much damage They
could also reasonably expect to
repel attack upon Malta or tha
Suez but they would be kept busy
in doing so. which of course is
Hitler's mam Idea.
CADDEST REFLECTION in all
this from the Allied stand-
point is that the French wanted
to go in and clean out Muaaol’nl
the first day of the war. The
H itlsh vetoed the plan. as was
curried in this column last Sep-
tember It could not be disclosed
then but the author of the proj-
'-ct was General Wevgand. now
commander in chief of the Allied
forces. The French could have
swept through Italy in a few
weeks as easily as the Nazis con-
quered Poland.
The whole course of subsequent
events might thus have been re-
verred Hitler then would not have
been allowed the eight months re-
spite he used effectively to pre-
pare for the Norwegian and Low-
land campaigns There might have
been no Finland no Norway no
Holland. Belgium or Flanders.
But the Allies then were still
thinking far behind Hitler They
had no appreciation of the suse of
I the Job confronting them
THE LESSON United States mil-
i itary men have learned from
this and daily developments of the
var is that Hitlers military ef-
ficiency cannot be stopped any-
where on the globe by mere de-
fensive methods. Alert counter
aggression to seise the initiative
before his attack gets organized is
the only answer. For us. that calls
i for the maximum national effort
to prevent establishment of bases
I anvwhere in this hemisphere. It
calls for thousands of long range
bombers. hundreds of torpedo
launching surface craft long range
put suit ships and as large a navy
I as we can get.
So They Say
We must sympathize and give
comfort to these brave people ot
Finland for protecting their homes
and their families.

Bv PAIL HARRISON
NLA Stall Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD — The trouble
with extras.' said a spokesman lor
the Screen Actors1 Guild. is that
they simp'y aren't actors.
"This is no reflection on the tal-
ents ol plenty of Individuals who
unquestionably could act. Bu: by
very deunltion as lon< as a person
is an extra he is only an animate
piece of scenery like a horse
"As a group extras don't like to
think of themselves In that light
They re human and proud; many
of cm are beautuol <or handsome)
and ambitious They want to be
actors but their chances are maybe
1 in 5.000 1
The executive was discussing the
organization problems of Holly-
wood's 7.000 atmosphere players.
Recent investigations particularly
the Screen Actors' Guild have
shown that extras have been rob-
bed by racketeers beaten by "goon
squads." seduced by men claiming
influence tn getting them work and
victimized generally through inef-
ficiency and favoritism in casting.
After those revelations. Holly-
wood authorities began a brisk
roundup of all extras with criminal
records FBI agents became inter-
ested when it was estimated at least
500 and maybe 1.000 thoroughly un-
desirable goons and hoodlums were
enjoying sanctuary here in their
new status as "actors ”
How ( rlmlnab Became tors'
Here's what wu happening Per-
sons with criminal records ejected
horn other cities on vagrancy
charges could come to Hollywood
see the "right'’ people and be hired
for some small Job In a picture.
Anyone who wroks in a picture is
entitled to Screen Guild member-
ship. Anybody with a Guild card
Is. technically an actor and can-
not very well be charged with
vagrancy.
But If all those wrongs are right-
ed. there still Is the fact that only
about one days work Is available
for every 10 extras And if all jobs
actually were distributed evenly
among all the extras none would
make a living wage. For example
during last March—an average
month— each extra would have
worked two and a half days and
earned S19 10
When the spear earners of the
cinema formed a union they were
admitted to the Ccreen Actors'
Guild as junior non-voting mem-
bers at the.r own request. Now
there is a considerable faction that
favors withdrawal and an auton-
omy plan has been drawn up
When the autonomy question is
settled a general 15 per cent wage
increaes and a reclassification plan
to higher brackets will be negotiat-
ed.
May Drop }.INNl Extra*
The 1.000 supernumeraries may
not realize it but studio executives
are discussing a plan to scuttle
the entire extra system if It be-
comes any more expensive. About
2 000 atmosphere people are all the
lrdustry needs exclusive of racial
groups If the 2.000 were selected
and put under regular contract at
$30 a week the industry could have
money right now. and a lot of head-
aches.
The contract extras who could
be shuttled around between the
studios as needed doubtless would
welcome such security But the un-
lucky 5.000. who wouldn't be much
worse off financially than they are
already would be shut out com-|i
pletely from the make-believe world
they love.
For extras ARE actors—at heart.
