Mime. Lipkowsl<a in Recital
Program Given Before Audi
eucC u, (.srregin Hall

Nine. Lydia Lipkowska. Russian col
oratuls soprano, who Grst came Is this
country several year ago as member
Of Henry Russeil's Boston Opera Com
oany. and who appeared here earlier
this season with the San Carlo Opera
Company, gave q recital last evening
at Carnegie Hall. 1t would be pleas
urc to record that she sang as we'll as
she looked, for she was a charming ap-
rarition IN black and cloth of gola.
Unfortunately, her fcrid singing was
labored through the first half Of the
program, which included Donizetti's
"Ah non crcdca mirarti' aria, Scar
latti's "Violette" and an aria from
Rimsky "Snow Maiden,' q
role in which the singer has appeared
many times in her own country. She
seemed particularly at vocal odds with
Rossini's "Bel Raggio.'
After the first number in Russian
her voice was under better control, and
some of her best work was done n
Gretchaninoff's "Cradle Song" ana
Tschaikowsky's "If Only Knew" The
remainder of the program included
songs by Viardot, Bernard, Glinka,
Jacques Wolf, and the Bell Song from
Delibes's "Lakme."

Schwab Predicts
SOunder Business
After Depression
Declares True Test of Sue
cess Not Profits, but Econ
omy; Greater Efficiency
in Government Needed

Out Of the present business depres-
sion there will come sounder basis
for the nations activities and business
will go forward with buoyancy and
force we have never known before, ;ls a
result Of reorganization. Charles NJ.
Schwab declared last night in his ad-
dress as president to the Pennsylvanla
Society at it's twentysecond annual
dinner at the Waldorf Astoria.
The world during the last few
years." he said, "has been a spend
thrift and waster. 1t has spent IT'S
life and its blood in prodigal living. lt
has spent a large part OF Its Aquld
wealth and has now come to period
where it can 60 forward only by energy
and effort of the most vigorous kind.
Business in the United States ever
since the war started has been until
very recently upon a false basis. The
disposition of many manufacturers has
been to say, not Let me see your cost
sheet but Let me see your statement
Of profits
Economy True Test of Success
.'Now, the true test of success in
business is not profits, but economy
The only business foundations which
the rock of economr. When, therefore
our business men thoroughly study and
cope with these problems of economy
and make up their minds to go ahead
and to produce to the utmost on a
smaller margin of profit than they
have been accustomed to realize IN
the years of imitation, then our course
will have been set toward a haven OF
safety and progress.
Economy in government expendi'
ture is also Of vital Importance. We
should expect and demand the same
degree OF efficiency in the conduct of
our government as we require in pri-
vate business. Reckless expenditure
by the government, national, state OF
city, necessitates higher taxes. These
taxes increase prices and higher prices
curtail consumption. The effect of d
curtailment of consumption IS to in
erease unemployment
Export Trade in Bad Way
Speaking of the foreign trade Of this
country, re said:
AT the moment our export trade
hangs BY q slender thread. The ex-
changes have been moving altogether
too much in our favor. We are rapidly
getting into position where the who'll
world owes us money and yet cannot
pay t.
"We arc getting relieved of the i'm
purties in our business life. TIL,
process is no. yet complete 1t ma,
take some little time longer. but tn,

he is cured the great body of American
business will emerge with vigor ant
