Chamberlain
CHICAGO, April 2O0!P)-Prime
Minister W. L. MacKenzie King of
Canada predicted tonight that his
tory would vindicate the effort to
appease Germany which was
made at Munich by "the late Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain of
Great Britain.
Mr. King, en route to the Unit

"I don't think justice has been
done to Mr. Chamberlain. I re
member when he cried out against
the failure of Britain to rearm.
When the crisis came, he did the
best he could with the means at
hand."

right variety to the program.
There was a surprising, amount
of humor, thougH the performers
never slackened in their graceful
movements! Seeing humor in one's
own self ilways causes delight
from the audience. The opening
number gave a glance backstage
featuring the humorous side- of
the preparations for the program.
The final number turned the ta
bles and depicted the average
young American couple at a ball
game. Another amusing number
was the duet of Svetlova and
Dolinoff impersonating dancing
school pupils at a recital.
Real Pleasure C, '
But the treal pleasure in the
performance came when the
graceful figure of Svetlova swept
across the.; stage in her serious
solo numbers, or danced with her
partner, Dolinoff. .
First came the beautiful Prin
cess Aurora variation, which it is
said brought fame to the baller
ina. Quicks movements characte
ristic of the dancer added charm
to her performance. Another solo
number was the charming "Gay
Nineties" in which she gave an
artist's touch to the steps and
gestures of the period of 50 years
ago. The "Dance of the Elf show
ed the dancer ln her most be
witching mood.
Viennese! waltzes have been
danced before, but never with the
beauty and loveliness that Svet
lova and Dolinoff performed it
last night. The" minuet too was
charming, as was the group
"Grand Pas denDeux Classique."
Moods from "Thais' were depict
ed by the couple in a tragically
beautiful number.
Excellent Soloist
Dalinoff - proved an excellent
soloist in two numbers, including
"Variation. Brilliante."
The little Spanish dancer. Ad
rino Otero, awakened the inter
ests of me audience on her first
appearance. With her expressive
castinets and her 'tapping heels,
she danced the steps of Spain with
all the coquettety and daring ex
pected. An Andalusian dance, a
Spanish dance to the tunes of Le
cuona and a popular 19th century
number were Jhcluded.
The pianist played all during
the performance and : then acted
as soloist when he played two
groups. .- i V v
Space limitations may cut the
amount of written appreciation of
the performance but it does not
limit the amount of delight the
reviewer gets from the program.
The dancers put the Community
Concert goers : In an excellent
mood for buying next year's sea

Western Governors Warned h

RENO, Nev April i(Hff)-An expert on'far eastern trade warned
the conference of western states governors' that the orient Is- no "easy
solution through foreign trade" of western reconversion problems. ;
ML H. Walker, assistant chief of the UJS. department of commerce,
far eastern division, added, however, thai with frank recognition of
the tremendous problems the possibility for developing major Asiatic
..Walker made the observations
in a speech prepared for delivery
before governors and representa-
uves of ll western states at a
chamber of commerce: banquet.
Z The federal ffldaL! who leaves
soon to become assistant commer
cial attache at Chungking, recalled
that Jaoan took 55 ner cent at
American exports to tie far east
before the war and that this mar-,
ket may be sharply reduced by
the war and the peace settlement
Sharp Cempetitiea If
The west too. he warned, would
find a sharply competitive situa
tion in the east - - j f
West coast porta handled onlr
33 per cent of American foreign
trade before the war, he said. In
the postwar Year, "steel nlatps
and structural shaneff moving to
the west coast byrailj from Ge

compete with waterborne ships
from Sparrows Point and Birm
ingham." ' jj

to cmna's own lawK and will
bring about numerous trade prob

Warren Speaks
Earlier, California's JGov. Earl
Warren had said the nation must
look upon the ' western states as
"the American coast! of the Pa-

His description of i the west's
vast wealth of resources brought
call from the Colorado delega
tion for the 11 states to move
jointly to obtain loosened purse
strings or the venture capital. The
proposal was echoed br Gov. Mon
