Is Manager Of Two and
Now Becomes Advisory
Manager of Cincinatti
Symphony With Another
After Him.
By PIERRE V. X. KEY.


- New York. March 24.-The orches-
tras have the limelight, for the mo-
.lacnt. New York is wondering how
many more arrangements Arthur Jud-
son is to add to his list. He first
put the Philadelphia Orchestra in
dcli5ly on the map, which attracted
the attention Of Clarence II. Mackay
when the latter accepted the chairman
shin of our Philharmonic-NatiO
After he had been invited to become
business head of this oldest of SYM
phony organizations, Judson quickly
showed that he could handle these
two institutions In ways to the ad-
vantage of each. As consequence
he was asked, a few days ago, to
serve the Cincinnati Symphony Or
chestra as advisory manager. And
we know of at least one other band
which would be glad to have Judson
point out things which should and
should not be done.
Although each Of these three or
shestras-the Philadelphia, the Phil
harmonic, and the Cincinnati-will
preserve its individuality, one mana
ger can devise schedules for travelling
concerts, and otherwise plan to pro-
mote their respective interests. Jud-
son has developed into highly train
Cd expert In time we believe there
vill be q sort Of working agreement
amongst all the symphony organiza-
lions in the country, and frequent
meetings of their managers, for their
common good.
Our City Symphony has finished
Its first season. The deficit was
laarge, but it will not interrupt the
l1q2S-1924 concerts. Senator du Pont
and his associate officers have decided
20 70 on with the work; so Conductor
Dirk Foch and Secretary Louise de
Cravioto will extend the educational
campaign of this one-year old body of
nusucians.
One hears talk OF two additional
prchestras for New York, to be launch
cd next autumn. The first, it is
whispered, will be conducted by Josef
Stransky, late Of the Philharmonic.

lean Nations. This is criticized from
two angles. Some declare it is a Uru-
guayan scheme to secure North Amer
lean backing in a dispute with Argen-
tina concerning control of the mouth
Eof the River Plate. Others believe it
is calculated to spread North Amer
lean domination. A third viewpoint
interprets the move as assuming the
equality of the relatively strong states
south Of Panama with the petty re-
publics of Central America and the
West Indies.
). North American efforts to bring
Latin America into a patent and trade
mark union with her. This plan,
though 1t has succeeded partially in
Cuba and Brazil, is attacked else
where as an attempt to enable the
United States to shape such legislation
to suit her own purposes, in disregard
to the other signatories' rights.
4. North American proposals for
a single Pan-American money. This
is spoken of suspiciously.
3. Canada's failure to receive an
invitation to the conference. The
South Americans want Canada repre-
scented frankly because they think she
could be played off against the United
States. They attribute her exclusion
to the jealousy of the United States.
The point having been made that she
is not an independent country, the big
Buenos Aires newspaper, la Ma.
clon,' asked sarcastically: "Are we to
assume, then, that Santo Domingo is?"
Comparison Resented.
6. The advertising that Henry p.
Fletcher has received as a suitable
able head of the North American dele
CATION to Santiago because he was a
successful ambassador to Mexico.
Without disputing that he may be well
equipped for the mission, the South
American press resents the idea that
any similarity is seen, between them
and the Mexicans. Il.
The North Americans have the adj
vantage of one topic-if they bring it
up which will interest the PROPOSE
ton to invest large sums in rubber
development on the southern CONT
nent. True, such an enterprise would
put money directly only into regions
where rubber grows, but all would
count on getting some of the overflow.
Besides, it would be regarded as
only start, tending to encourage
further investment in other lines.

part toward settling them.
What, is OF interest to the North
American delegates at the Chile
meeting is the existence of some bitter
South American grievances against the
United States.
TO a fellow Latin-American, the
Latin-American speaks plainly. To
the visiting North American his IN
stinct is to be very polite, leaving
disagreeable subjects strictly alone.
There is the danger that. deceived

delegates may go home from Santiago
believing everything all right; in which
case, the South American delegates
will go home as biased as they came.
But if the South Americans can be
induced to unburdcn their minds, the
North Americans will have a chance
to explain.

Facts and Figures

The automobile business is an open
book to the public. First comes the
financial statement of q motor car
manufacturers, showing gross and net
profits: and then comes the an
nouncement of the number of cars
he mac and sold over this same
period. H.. the interested car buyer
has to do is to divide the number of
cars sold into the net profits. That
tells him how much profit the manu-
facturer made per car, and satisfies
any prospect as to whether he is get
ting his moneys worth. The dealers
commission can easily be ascertain
cd. And there YOU are. It's not q
bad idea to consider these matters
when buying a car. The results are
sometimes surprising.
Safety First campaigns among
school children and their parents is
producing real results in Phila
delpha. The increase in fatalities to
children was but % per cent as
against SO per cent increase in
similar accidents to adults. which
seems to prove that groWn-ups could
profit by practicing what they preach
to children.
A fine tribute to the American
automobilist's ability to take care Of
the cars he slaves himself to buy is
found in the recent announcement
that the average allowance made by
dealers on cars taken in trade is
S36057, while it is freely admitted
that the market value for these cars
is much less. The 81 cents quoted in
the average evidently refers to the
magic varieties of neglect which en-
ables motorists to have their cars
deprecated in somewhat the same
