New Kind of War

Paris, Apr. 4.

The Premier, M. Paul Reynaud, last night said Britain and France would "use victory to make little nations safe."

In a special radio broadcast in English to*the United States, M. Reynaud said, "This is a new kind of war. Victory for the Allies is of vital interest to certain neutral countries, but the terror of German brutality robs them of their free will and makes them work against their own interests.

The Premier stressed that it would be impossible for France to conclude peace with Germany until Chancellor Adolf Hitler is ousted from the German Government.

"To enter a lasting agreement with one man is not enough," Mr. Reynaud declared. "Totalitarian Germany has been totally insincere. It would be madness to sign some kind of compromise with Hitler. It would mean signing our own death warrant for the following day."

The Premier stressed the fact that the Maginot Line has held back the German Army for months, but declared "the situation may change at any moment.'—United Press.

They are saved by friendly Indians and the hero and heroine are married, Mr. Fairbanks turned in a creditable performance, although h has been seen to better advant than in this film. Miss Bennett was lovely as the only woman among the explorers, but the best performance was given by Mr. George Sanders and the "Home on the Range" he in an English accent was about the funniest piece done on the screen. The rest of the cast has been well chosen, with Mr. George Bancroft portraying a Texas man and supplying most of the comedy.
