NEW TECHNIQUE
FOR RADIO
OPERA

Spring came with a succession
Of gathering bangs ON the wave
lengths last night that kept diaIs
set for the home brOadcastlng sta.
lions. Excursions into the outside
atmosphere were fraurht with
too much danger TO the ear.dru0s.
BFOadcasts from all sections had
good volume - but static had
greater. and Il was almost i'm.
possible to tune through III.
Estelle Wentworth has charmed
thousands Of grand opera, light
opera and concert goers in Europe
and America with her voice and
personality-but she never per-
formed to finer effect or to the
more lasting glory of good music
than In her production of Gilbert
and Sullivan's "Pinafore'' for the
radio audience of WMAL last night
with a group Of non-professional
singers.
In these days of expert REVEALS
and all star casts the highest form
OF courage il required to select a
company of neighborhood vOcaIists
without stage or concert experience
save that acquired in home affairs,
and with them produce in an en-
tirely new producing technique and
through q new medium, so well
standardized an opera as Pima
fore" The result was a real
achievement and the uncovering of
q distinct and most satisfactory
radio technique.
The success of the Wentworth
Opera, Company's endeavor last
evening rests with the keen musical
intelligence that trained the singers
and the genius Of showmanship
that kept a swift moving story in
comprehensive form coming through
loud speakers. Radio listeners may
have the satisfaction OF knowing
that the opera was given without
"a single cut in the music. 1t
moved with unbelievable spontane.
ity and speed from start to finish
but its speed was that Of the story
and its action, and no part was
sighted.

For a month and a half Mr.

their marriage a secret from their

I'm this land dedicated to toll
erance. we still find outbreaks of
intolerance I come from Quaker
stock. My ancestors were perse-
cuted for their beliefs Here they
sought and found religious free
dom. BY blood and conviction I
stand for religious tolerance both
in act and in spirit. The glory Of
our American ideals is the right
Of every man to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of his own
conscience"
While necessarily dealing In the
main with economic problems,
Hoover'S speech was shot through
with pUngent expressions giving
voice to his own philosophy Of the
relation of government 70 the
people
Our nation IS NOT ON ag-lom-
Grafton Of railroads of ships. Of
factories, Of dynamoS or stats
tics" he said. 1T is a nation Of
homes, a nation Of men, Of women.
OF children.
For all he preached the doctrine
Of equal opportunity as "the right
Of every American-rich or poor,
foreign or native born, irreSpec-
tive of faith or color"
Our purpose is to build in this
nation a human society, NOT an
economic system" he said at an
other point. we wish to increase
the efficiency and productivity Of
our country, but its final purpose
IS happier homes.
The presidency is more than an
administrative office. 1t must be
a symbol of American ideals. The
high and lov'ly must be seen with
the same eyes, met in the same
spirit. 1t must be the instrument
by which the national conscience
guidance OF the Almighty inter-
pret and follow that conscience.
Turning to corruption which he
said had been participated In by
individual officers and members Of
both political parties in national.
state and municipal affairs"
Hooyer declared dishonesty in
government to be a double wrong.
1T is treason to the state" he
said. 1T is destructive of self
government. Moral incompetency
by those entrusted with govern
ment is a blighting wind upon
private integrity There must be
NO place for cynicism in the creed
of America
The Republican standard bearer
promised that this would be -an
honest campaign" with every pen
ny publicly accounted for, and %
true campaign" with the use OF
words to convey our meaning NOT
to hide it,"
other policies outlined by him
included:
A foreign policy dedicated to
peace with the fostering OF dis
armament. but with the retention
meantime of a navy adequate for
national defense.
Continuation of a public works
program-buildings roads, water
WAYS and irrigation -entailing an
expenditure of a billion dollars In

Reiterating that he did NOT
favor repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment, the Republican nomi-
nee said NO one was to be criti-
cised for seeking to change the
Constitution by lawful means, but
added that the Republican party
denied the right of anyone to seek
to destroy the purposes of the
Constitution by indirection.
Recognising the abuses of en-
forcement under existing enabl-
ing acts, Hoover said these must
be remedied after "an organised
searching investigation of facts
and causes" had pointed the way
to the wise method of correcting
them.
The Republican candidate dis
posed Of the prohibition question
in the space Of a few minutes,
devoting approximately 300 WOras
to its discussion. To the farm
aid question he gave over more
than one-siXth of his address Of
more than 5000 words.
Declaring that agriculture pre-
sented the most urgent economic
problem in our nation today
Hoover said the Republican marty
farm plank constituted "a definite
plan of relief" needing only the
detailed elaboration OF legislation
and appropriations TO put it into
force
Aside from fedora aid to farm
sterilization corporations, he pro-
posed tariff increases to give
agriculture the same protection as
other industries and the develop
ment OF inland waterways lnc-ud-
ing the Mississippi and Great
Lakes to the Atlantic systems, as
means of affording cheaper trans
pOrtaUion for farm products and
a corresponding shrinkage in the
spread between what the farmer
receives and what the consumer
pays.
AN adequate tariff is the foun-
datiOn of farm relief" he said in
putting this first in his program,
Developmet of the water arteries
came second.
"Thse Improvements would mean
so large an increment in farmers
prices as to warrant their con-
struction many times over" he
asserted. There is NO more vital
method of farm relief.
The working out OF agricultural
relief constitutes the most i'm
portant obligation of the next
administration, he added. Il
stand pledged to these proposals.
The object of cur policies is to
establish for our farmers an in
come equal to those of other oc-
equations for the farmers wife
the same comforts in her home as
women in other groups; for the
farm boys and girls the same op-
pOrtunities in life as other boys
and girls. So far as my own abil-
tiles may be of service. I dedicate
them to help secure prosperity and
contentment in that industry where
I and my forefathers were born
and nearly all of my family still
obtain their livelihood.
Charting the course for Repub-
lican speakers in this campaign.
which his speech formally opened,
Hoover made this declaration re-
garding religious tolerance:
