MAKE-UP HINTS

By

MAX FACTOR

Rouge acts as a shadow, Eager, thin-faced people should avoid rouge in the centre of their faces. The secret is 'to keep the rouge high on the temples and upper check- in a diminutive crescent. This leaves the lower part of the jaw and cheeks unshadowed, thus making the face appear fuller,

Reverse the above tactics for broad or round faces. Shadow the full parts of the cheeks and blend the rouge well in toward the nose; This reduces the expansive high-light at the centre of the face and gives a fascinating illusion of length.

Behind The POPULAR

FRONTS

N France, in Spain, there is now a "Popular Front." In Spain there is, in France there w. within a couple of weeks, be a Government of the Popular Front.

In each case parties of the Left, from reformist Radicals who have no desire to change, det alone to overthrow Capitalism, to avowed revolutionaries, have united to, win election victories.

In each case the stimulus was the urgent need to avert any danger of a Taplu development from Consevalism to Faretzm.

But there the resemblance ends. The coalition. In House and culintry. which will support Léon Blum, is a very different one from that which supports Señor Quiroga,

On the Right Wing he has his Radiens. Some of them will desert us soon as the Government begins serious work. That is taken for granted; but the number will not be big enough to endanger the Government,

Blum has already declared that his Goverment will "act within the ex- isting social régime." And " within the existing régime ' the majority of the Radicals will be willing to go quite a long way.

But this, of course, raises the ques tion of Communist mupport. Can and will a Party which stands for revolu- tion and scoffs contemptuously at all "reformisa" consistently support a Doveniment pledged to reform "with- In the existing social régime"?

For

For the French Communist Party has one through a strange transformation. Maurice Thorez France To-day Just published by Gollanes in an glish translation by Emile Burns (55), is authoritative enough. Thorez is general secretary of the Party, and will lead it in the Chamber. And Thorez' book is "reformist from cover to cover. Save for a sprinkling here and there of Marxist Jargon and Communist slogans, it might have been written by any Radical..

Proudly Thorez notes among "cor- rest Issues raised by the Communist Party," such points as "the watch- word Make the Rich Pay," "a real System of social insuratice." and a

levy on large fortunes,“

It all sounds a bit like England in 1000;

And, believe it or not, he boasts that Communist municipalities have organ- ised municipal soup-kitchens!

It doesn't look as if a party thinking

on these lines leven if it does atlil an- nounce that its "great fibal alm" is Revolution, Dictatorship of the Pro- letariat, Soviet Power " is going to be intransigeant.

I suspect that the operative word in that announcement is 'flittel."

However, you never know. A party which con change il front and its policy and its slogans so completely can- the word is given-change back uguin just as rapidly

Perhaps the most dangerous pass!- bilty is an attempt to use the voting strcugtly the Communist Party to force the French Government into line with the Soviet Government on some international question.

The Spanish situaties is a very dif Terent one, Bluni's Government in France will be a Coalition, though with the Commanists outside.

Spain's Radicals

QUIROGA'S Government

In Spain is drawn from the Radical Parties only; with Socialists and Communists as sup. porters from the outside.

the programme of the Common Front, They are indeed pledged to support on which the elections were won by the Left; and that is not n reveld- tionary, but a definitely reformist, programme.

But the alliance is far less m and relations between the partners less cardial than in France.

The Socialists' refusal to enter the Government was significant.

The Right Wing Socialist-leaders--- Bestelrro and Pricto-were for joining the Cabinet,

Largo Caballero and the Left were opposed.

Fundamental Issues

BUT the division in the party goes deeper than that. It goes down to fundamental issues. And it is quite likely to result in n definile split at the Party Congress next months.

If that should happen, the Left Socialists and the Socialist Trude Unions will join with the Communists (pertinps actually absorbing them) a "Workers' Trust". with a revol Lionary plan of action aiming at the complete conquest.of power.

The Right Wing-certain to be minority-will then continue to sup port or may even join, the Quirogn Government.

The Left would either immediately or after a while pass from qualBed support to qualled opposition. And the position of the Goverment would beconte decidedly precarious.

The whole situation is complicated by the existence in Spain of two big Trade Union organisations.

There are the Socialist Unions, grouped round the General Unless of Labour

There are the Anarchist-Syndicalist antons, united in the Confederation of Labour,

A Proposed Alliance

THE Confederation is strong. 18 praciples, syndicalist and "anti-State," is programme reve- lutionary, its methods tending violence.

This month at is Baragossa Con- gress it proposed an alllance with the General Union on the basis of working for the destruction of the present social and political regime."

Bo fur the proposal has not been accepted. It is not easy to see how two bodies alming at fundamentally dif ferent methods of social, political and economie organisation can unite.

But any form.of alliance, and even the dicussion i alliance, must tend to draw the Socialists farther away from the Government.

Over and above that there is tho further factor that there is and has been for long years a tradition of vio- fence in Spalli.

Fasciam, defeated at the polls, has taken to the bomb, the revolver, and the machine-gun.

That may tell either way. Quiroga, by Arin handling of the Fasciata, may win the continued support of the Be- cialists even though his programamo And he performance in social legis lation do not satisfy them.

Or, on the other band. Pascist provo. catlon may bring violence from tho otlier

side-especially from the Anarcho-Syndicalists. And that would mean trouble that might well bring the Government down and create a revolutionary situation.
