taken away from us by European artists
and study abroad, why can we not be
made the beneficiaries of this generosity
Siegfried Wagner's own statement is that
20 per cent of the attendance at the Bay
reuth festivals is American and without
the American patronage the festivals
could not be held. Again the point comes
up: If Americans are such lovers of mu-
sic, why can't we have music of our own?
The hue and cry is always that we have
no representative music. The Germans
are loyal to their music; the French ana
the Russian people are the same to their
own When our singers go abroad they
are required to sing in the language of the
country in which they study and appear
in opera or recital With us, the foreigner
comes; he sings in his own language; ours
is relegated to the shades of antiquity.
and why? The answer is simple; our ma
tional loyalty is at fault. If we want
American music we must encourage and
foster American music, American teach
ers, America singers. American pianists
We acknowledge that we owe everything
to Europe musically up to the present
time, but the hour has come when we
must strike for American loyalty in art
and uphold united body in sponsoring it.

of the federation would be neglected when
it comes to musical advancement and ed

Such condition is recognized was
the reply, by all the great musical peo-
pie of the country. Mr. Frederick Stock
of the Thomas orchestra of Chicago said
to me recently:

same thing.

eested. 'n America is one to be reckoned
with, and shows how the people of this
country love music and how quick they
are to respond to demands in this line"
One of the main points brought out at
the annual music symposium during the
recent biennial held in Chicago, was the
tremendous amount of money expended
annually by the citizens of America for
music said Mrs. Walker. Mr. Carlton
Hackett of the Chicago Evening Post, in
discussion recently of Music AS an In
dustry, brought out the fact that over
sSO0,OOO000 was a conservative estimate OF
the money spent on music annually in
America in every form. Mr.. Freund has
taken up the subject at length In articles
in Musical America and he places the es-
innate at $600,000000, and while this seems
an enormous sum. Mr. Freund is backed
IN his statement by the national bureau
of statistics.
Now, them Mrs. Walker said the
vital effort which the National federation
is aiming at is right before us; our ma
