times as much synthetic color as was

Mr.. Easley comments. But in this,
as in other industries. she simply
appropriated and battened upon the
genius and work of others, and, while
covering her ma1feasances and thefts

Mr.. Easley quotes from an article
by John C. Freund, editor of Musical
America, who shows that the finest
musical performances in the world
are not given in Germany, as has
been asserted, and that of the must
clans and composers whom Germany
has claimed the majority have been
Hungarian and Austrian. The must
clans whom Germany did, produce,
Idszt, Schubert and Wagner, were
| neglected and maligned by their own
countrymen. The German Govern

gain access through musical conduc-
r tors and musicians to the innermost
circles Of life in other countries. mot
