TT WAS announced In London by the
4 India Office that the third Indian
round table conference would open in
London about the middle of November
and probably would continue until the
Christmas holidays. Neither Mahatma
Gandhi nor any member of the ALI
India Congress party is to be among
the Indian delegates unless the pre-
llminary list already issued is en-
larged. Nor will there be any women
delegates. Several princes will attend
but most Of those rulers will be rep
resented by their prime ministers.
1The conference sessions will be in the
building of the house of lords and Mr..
Macdonald will act as chairman.
ITALY has been busy celebrating the
end of the first decade of Fascism,
and Premier Mussolini has been maxi
ing interesting addresses in Turin,
Milan and other. cities. The Turinese
have been the most active Of the
Duce's opponents, but he moved
among thousands Of workers In fac
tories without escort and made prof
fers of peace to them, urging them
to join the Fascist party. Then. in
an outdoor speech heard by half
million, the premier put forth plea
to the United States to cancel or
reduce the European war debts. Con-
tinuing with international matters,
he declared G rmany's demand for
armament parity was fully justified
but that the Germans must wait un-
til the world disarmament confer
ence breaks up in what he predicted
would be failure. He said Italy
would remain a member Of the League
of Nations because "the league is
very sick and we cannot abandon it."
Without mentioning France by name
he made what was interpreted by the
crowd as challenge to that nation
whose frontier is only 40 miles west Of
therein his statement that turin
has never been afraid of war;"
After being banqueted in Turin by
Grown Prince Humbert and his bride,
the Duce went ON to Milan where he
predicted that within ten more years
all Europe would go Fascist and that
before the end Of the century Italy
would again be the leader of civiliza-
ton.
The premier said there was no need
to waste time reviewing the past or
thinking of it-that his thought al
ways was for the future.
SIN these days of unrest and I'M
certainty elsewhere in the world there
are countries far older than this which,
do not know what their future will
be. We know. We are sure of our
future and are advancing always
straight ahead with courage and de-
termination"
He expressed the opinion that some
times his words were misunderstood
abroad, adding: Il am DESTROYS of
peace and tranquility, but I also am
anxious for new battles and fresh
combats."

ropolitan district and civilian volun-
teers sworn in as special police, some
10000 in all, were modified to keep

fact that the Communists were active
among the marchers and, as always,
were eager to stir up trouble.
One of the preliminary incidents
was lively street fight between job
less men and the British Fascists or
ganized by Sir Oswald Mosley. The
millionaire baronet, addressing
meeting in the East End, had been
heckled, and, at the head Of his black
shirted followers, was on the way to
their headquarters near the parlia-
ment buildings, followed by jeering
mob. Near Trafalgar square Sir Os-

treat which will be rendered by Homer
Rodeheaver, his sister, Ruth Rode
HEAVIER Thomas, and quartet of South

the best known Of the evangelistic

however. An accomplished singer and
trombone player, Mr. Rodeheaver has
performed a real service to America by
being the actual standard bearer in
popularizing the Negro folk songs of
the South and distinctly American
music.
His quartet of Negro spiritual sing
ers, recruited in the South, are said to
sing these wonderful old plantation
melodies with naturalness and SYM
pathy that appeals to all classes. They

Support Is Asked for
Next Seasons Concerts
Of National Symphony
Executive Committee Starts Drive for Financial
il Support-"Dollar Fund Is Planned New
Cantata and Local News
Bv E. de S. Melcher.

TIME sponsors, promoters and
patrons of the National
Symphony Orchestra of
Washington, D. c., are
looking ahead to next year.
Financially, plans are afoot to
keep this orchestra which has
had such an auspiciouS first sea-
son under Maestro Hans Kinder
for one, two, three and on to ad
1ntlnltem years. But, since the
city has not one large golden
musical angel, who can whistle
out a fortune and lay it at the
feet Of the orchestra, a campaign
must be waged to ref1oat the SYM
phony for another year-until at
last the young orchestra shall
have attained its majority and no
further financial floating is nee
eSSary.
The Executive Committee of
the National Symphony and its
various subsidiaries, now that the
drive for the Community Chest is
over and done with, is starting
forth in search of the support
which is necessary to secure the
further life of Mr.. Kindler's
Washingtonians. Mrs. Tracy
DowS, for instance, is the pro-
moter of a scheme which is to be
called "the dollar fund" This
fund is to be campaigned for the
length and breadth of the city
and will include as many people
as it is possible to reach, the
idea being that the orchestra,
having become a definite civic
asset, should be part and parcel
of as many peoples life as pos
sible.
In other words, the masses are
being appealed to, and support
for an organization which has
proved its worth is being sought
from high and low. No matter
how small the donation it will be
appreciated by those who have
tried SO hard to give Washington
a permanent symphonic group.
Those who are unable to give
more should find this dollar
fund" an easy way to establish
their willingness to keep the Or
cheStra alive for another season.
And these are urged-and it is
hoped that not much urging will
be necessary-to send in to the
headquarters of the National
Symphony their small donations
before the more formal campaign
gets under way. The committee
at the moment would be more
than grateful to receive as many
of these dollar funds as pos
sible-and donors are requested
to send their contributions to the
secretary, National Symphony,
1919 H street, as soon as possible.
MRS. TRACY DOWS is only one
" of a committee of civic and
music minded patrons working
for the further promotion of this
orchestra. The fact that more
rather than less prominent per-
sons in the city are organizing
the continuation of this major
musical inStitution-whose sue
cess is unprecedented in Wash
ington-would Indicate that its
merits have dug deep into the af-
fections of the people. That
