MAX RABIN0FF SAYS
RUSSIAN MUSIC WILL
DOMINATEIN AMERICA
Points to Popularity Of
Ukrainian Singers Brought
Here by Lions.

Max Rabinoff made a prophecy some
years ago and the forthcoming concert
tour on February 81 and IS at Beetho
ven Hall of the Ukrainian National
Chorus, under its conductor-composer
Alexander Koshetz, proves his power Of
discerning what the public wants.
Mr. Rabinoff. as far back as 1913
said: "The Russian spirit in music will
dominate the immediate future of mu
sic in America" He is again TO con
tinue its domination. for this famou,
oh, IS comes from what was formerly
Little Russia, from the lovely mystic
city of Kieff. overlooking The Russian
steppes. where the people sing "all day
and all night il is said. For the
Ukrainians are the singing people" Of
the former Russian empire.
He undoubtedly knows there is some
thing in the nature OF the American
that responds to the art of the Russian.
But, talk with Max Rabinoff best
reveals his ideals in art, and his know!-
edge of MS.
People outside OF Russia have no
idea how far ahead of the rest of the
world are the Russians in the eSquis-

worked out which might be applied in
handling the other war debts. The
British mission was delayed in getting
to America so the whole matter has
dragged along without action on the
French debt.
For time the French referred to
their war debt as a political debt" and
members OF the American senate point
cd publicly to that phrase as hint Of
eventual reputation, but the attitude
of the French mission in its discus
sions with treasury officials entirely
erased such an impression for the debt
has been formally acknowledged.
The French were at the time alb
sOrbed in the -intricacies Of the rcpara-
ton dispute and felt that they must
wait until they could recover funds
from Germany before estimating what
their own capacity 10 pay would be.
While the United States government
insists that so far as ii is concerned,
the capacity Of Germany to pay
France is one thing and the capacity
of France TO pay America is quite an
other. there is no doubt that a sym
pathetic attitude was manifested To-
ward the French because OF their trou-
bleS in collecting from Germany.
BOlsteTs French Argument.
Now that France has sought to exact
her pound of flesh from Gcrmany by
Selling economic resources it will be
even more difficult to estimate
Frances ability to pay her external
debts. 1t is a source of much disap-
pOintment here that France has made
no provision in her budgets thus far
for payment of interest or sinking fund
on the principal Of the French war debt
TO America and that instead large sums
are paid out for land armament, but il
does not behOOvc one sovereign power
to dictate TO another how it shall spend
its money so nothing can be said by
way of criticism officially Of the French
financial policy. The hope has prevailed
however, that political stability might
come TO Europe and make France her
self see the futility of snrnding any
more sums on armament. The need for
troops in invading the Ruhr has
changed the whole face of things and
lent color to the French argument that
her armies were. needed 10 handle a
recalcitrant debtor. 1t has even put
damper for the time being on talk
of four and five power pactS.
No policy will he adopted toward the
French debt until after the effects of
the Ruhr invasion have been carefully
examined. 1t may be that France will
reach n satisfactory understanding with
Germany ultimately and allay such
feeling as has arisen against her in this
country. Under such circumstances
Congress would probably ratify without
much dispute any proposal recon-
mended by the President and the
American funding commission. With
the state of opinion in Congress. how
ever. any agreement which proposed
Ieniency to France in the matter nt
interest or principal on the war debt
would have hard shedding in Congress
This may or not be realized in France
today, but when the final reckoning
comes. scars of the Ruhr policy will
put in an appearance unless the whole
rpraratiOn controversy has been Gmic-
ably adjusted by that tiHe.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1928, by The San Antonio Light
Washington, ID. C., Jan. 25.-The
kUnited States government, contrary to
published rumors, is making no effort
TO compel France TO pay her war debt
/ or interest to America. There has
|been an impression circulated that with
kSisnnce showing no leniency toward her
|debtor, Germany, the United states
|would feel justified in requesting
France TO begin payment of her three
and a half billion dollar debt to the
limited States.
II Officials are loath to anticipate the
Effect which Frances invasion of the
|Ruhr will have on American public
kppinion when the time comes to con
Isider the funding of the French. debt
ko America. The status of the mat
Ter as explained to this correspond
fhnt by Secretary Mellon is one of
waiting on the French for the next
move. The French mission which left
here last October acknowledged the
{french debt and showed every desire
10 see it paid ultimately, but explained
hat circumstances made it difficult at
his time to say when. payments could
be made and that after conferences in
Paris further word would be sent to
