Baron Tsuneo Matsudaira, Japan's

than in the present disturbed interna-

All the speakers at the memorial

referred to Senator Morrow's genius as
a negotiator and his utter self-eftace-
ness and ability to place himself in the
position of those with whom he dealt.

Medal for Constructive Criticism"
which the author of 1.-THE House

Columbia University. and Mr..
Pollock himself, the latter by in
vitation of the board Of educa-
ton. The medal is to be awarded

dramatic art and a view of life
as far as possible opposed to
modern Sophistication.'" To the
cynic this looks like a two-edged
sword intended to Swipe old Gen

crop OF critics, who insist upon
being facetious and satirical,
thereby destroying good plays.
