From You to Me

OBVIOUSLY the ideal situation
~ is a direct musical message
from one individual to another,
There are several people whom I've
heard in concert and also more
closely in some room where not
more than three or four were gath
cred together.
In each case the in1promptu per-
Torrance seemed to me infinitely
finer all around.
Paul Robson gave huge con-
cert here recently and deserved the
glowing notices he received, but he
has said, 81 like it best when I can
sing just leaning back in a big chair
in some friends house."
must not overlook the fact that
to some people a microphone brings
just as much terror as the presence
Of large visible audience, but this,
I think, is no more than a passing
emotion. In the long run there will
be more ease and intimacy in music
new style.
And I am not thinking wholly Of
the strain upon the performer. Even
more important Is the liberation of
the listener.
He can shut himself into some
secluded spot where it will be wholly
unnecessary to tap neighhor in the
seat ahead and say, Keep your
trap shut"
Moreover, and maybe most i'm
portant Of all, the radio has. served
to recreate an old and necessary al
lance. Since each mans home is
his castle, 1t is possible once again
to have beer and Bach, wine and
Wagner.

and unselflsh servant of mankind.
He spent his days down to 1914 on one of the
most coorful and pratcal forms of modern business
enterprise. Hence, his administration has been what
might be expected. There is no trouble in under
standing his attitude toward the power problem, the
tariff, the Wilburs, Judge Parker, the rights and
status Of labor, and the like.
Hoover has been harmed greatly by myth to
which no reasonable person could expect him to
live up to- This myth was that of the great dealst
and the great engineer in politics. This book proves
that there is not the slightest evidence to show him
either humanitarian engineer. His career had
no more relation to either than that of publicity
agent to Ivory soap any other great commercial
product.
The Hoover administration is just what the facts
not known to most Of his supporters to be sure would
have implied and predicted. Since 1928 Hoover quite
naturally has played the role of a shrewd, ma
terialistic business who into the hard luck
of depression and into the new experience of
effective opposition to his policies and methods
Congress hardly could take orders as his business
subordinates had in earlier years.
Hence, the book makes one more tolerant of
Hoover. He apparently is doing his level best More
can be asked of man. He is no renegade idealist
or apostate humanitarian, for he never was by
training, experience or inclination an idealst or
humanitarian.

viii We Span PaCifiC2

MTHAT the average American
w has been trained to think of
as civilization and to regard as his
own peculiar heritage now faces the
back door of its original home.
Will it keep the world-encircling
course and move on Asia, where it
was Graded, or will it call a halt?
If it keeps to the course, will it
cling also to the practice of blasting
its way forward with death and de-
struction?
Not a joyful" says your average
American, 1--WE are through with all
that" and then someone reminds
him that the very ground on which
he stands was taken by conquest,
and again he is not SO sure.
While trying to puzzle the thing
out, he suddenly becomes aware of
the naval base on North Island, of
fighting ships in San Diego harbor,
of hocks of airplaneS overhead, and
he takes refuge in the thought that
this country can take care Of itself,
by gosh, no matter what happens"

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-I notice The Times
is continuing to call attention to
conditions at the Marion county
poorhouse. That is what I call real
public Service-pointing out that an
institution founded in England 300
years ago is a lamentable failure in
meeting present-day conditions.
Deep in their hearts, I am sure
the officials upon whose shoulders
rests the responsibility for proper
care of the worthy aged realize that
the old age pension bill, sponsored
by the Fratern&I Order of Eagles, is
the real solutioh of this great social
problem.
No argument of politician, no
tax argument, can erase the fact
that the Marion county poorhouse
has 100 more inmates than it was
intended to accommodate. Superin-
tendent Byron Carter says so. Such
a condition is inhuman.
Indiana, conservative as she is,
should awaken to the fact that old
age pensions are just, humane, eco
nomical and inevitable. Why hesi-
tate? Massachusetts, seat of all
that stands for things as they are,
passed an old age pension law sew
eral months ago. So did New York.
Before them, ten other states took
action.
The old age pension bill now is
before the legislature. Upon its
members and the intelligent citizen
ship of Indiana depend whether
our state shall remain in the ranks
of those with poorhouses or join
those which give decent, just and
humane care to their aged.

Back to Asia?

GAN DIEGO, Cal, Jan. 21.-Thus
- far, the pathway Of human prog
ress has led steadily toward the
setting sun. VIII it continue to do
so?
What American can stand on the
western coast of his country, look
out over the Pacific, and not ask
himself that question?
His first impulse is to answer it
with the assertion that imperialism
has become a dead letter in this
era of Kellogg pacts. world courts,
and peace movements.
Then he remembers the depres-
sions, the cry for work, the demand
for markets, the urge Of industry,
and he is not so sure. So, too, he
remembers that item in Wednesday,
paper telling how the FTanco-Italian
naval truce had come to an end,
and how Mussolini was preparing to
lay keel for keel and cast gun. for
gun with his French neighbors.

a S yet none of the music critics

Different on the Pacific

NHE case is altogether different
4 on the Pacific, where western
civilization is not in control, where
Japan is suffering from land hun
ger, where Soviet Russia has a
coast, and where the teeming mil
lions of China must find an outlet
for their commerce.
It is on the Pacific that this coun-
try one day will meet its real test.
With England being forced slowly
out Of India, and with all Asia
showing an unexpected interest in
modern government and modern in
dustry, this country can not escape
the task Of formulating policy not
only for her own guidance, but for
that of other nations.
In few years it will be the
United States, and the United
States alone, that faces the Orient
on earth's greatest ocean, since in a
few years there will be little left of
the precarious and steadily weaken
ing footholdS which European gov
ernments now maintain.

Washington on the wisdom of
avoiding "entangling alliances"

Our own appetite for trade makes
the former impossible, while the

This is the observation and pre-

has made careful studies of the re-
