Mass production and &c a n n d
goods"-the trend of the day-has
also made inrOads on the musical
profession. Out of approximately
$4,000 theatre musicians in this coun-
try about 5000 have been displaced
by machine-made music.
Speaking on this subject, Joseph N.
Weber. president of the American
Federation of Musicians, said:
The American people will not long
stand for canned music because it is
taking away musical culture and mar
rowing the field for musicians.
Theatres have been dehumanized
but | want to tell you that machine
products never can take the place OF
music made by human beings. You
cannot photograph a mans soul or
temperament and you most certainly
cannot truly record it on a machine

While all German aviation au-

Cap. WoIfgang Won Gronau and
his three companions who have

'VOn GrOnau is the first
