LONDON PAPER LAUDS ERNST
BLOCH

London G.. G. B.)-"The Observer"
publishes lengthy appreciation of
the Jewish composer, Ernst Bloch,
who is now resident in the United
States, "a composer of whom we may
possibly soon be hearing a good deal.
Bloch is Genevan Jew, forty-two
years old, and has lived a hard-work-
ing and not altogether fortunate life.
He studied with Dalcroze at Geneva.
Ysaye at Brussels, Knott at Frank
fort and Thuille at Munich. At
twenty-four he returned to Geneva
and began to sell cuckoo clocks, his
father being in business difficulties.
Meantime he was working on an
opera Macbeth and in 1910 this
was produced in Paris, at the Opera
Comique, apparently with some sue
cess. He held post as conductor in
Switzerland, but lost it; was appoint
ed professor of composition at the
Geneva Conservatory, and lost that
position too. In 1916 he went to
America with Maud Allen, as her con-
ductor and there he has settled, be-
coming an American citizen. The
Turin critic, Guido Gatti, lays stress
on the fact that at last, after much
striving, Bloch, to whom he accords
a very high place in the ranks of con-
temporary composers, has achieved
recognition. Gin America his genius
is celebrated, and his works are con-
tinually performed.O"

the working of the Palestine Jewish
Cooperative Labor movement. Ev-
erything saw made me feel that here
is a great experiment of communal
construction being made on truly
democratic labor bases; which ought
to receive the support of everybody
interested in such work.
Zone of the difficulties to be sur
mounted is the supply of capital to
enable work like road building, drain
age, planting, to be carried on. The
Workmen's Bank is being established
for this purpose. believe such a
bank is necessary. 1t is controlled, I
am informed, by the same authorities
who conduct the labor activities in

be avoided and Palestine reconstruc-
