Frederic Baer Is
a New Yorker
In Joint Concert With Mill
dred Dilling Friday,
February 5

Returning from one Of his re-
cent concert tours, Frederic Baer,
noted baritone who sings here Fri
day evening, Feb 5th at Bucking-
ham hall, voiced some very DELI
mite sentiments in regard to the at
titude of the average concert-goer
in this country toward the Ameri-
can artist of genuine ability whose
career yet lacks the touch of ro-
nance that the foreign-born musi-
clan inspires.
"Why should so much romance
attach to the artist who has been
born in Europe or even in New
York's lower east side?" Mr. Baer
queries. "Why do have to explain
so often and almost apologize for
having been born in a very conven-
tional uptown section of New
York?
"Interviewers looking for thrill
1er' stories usually seem palpably
disappointed when I confess that
am a native-born New Yorker.
ut seems to me that 30 far as
the average concert-goer is con-
cerned the American artist is at a
distinct disadvantage" noted this
American baritone. 1.-THE back

appreciated by the Utopians.

not only would interfere with commerce but
in time Of war might prevent concentration OF
our naval forces, wiich depend for success upon
the principle of mass employment as well as
easy maneuverability. Nicaragua, therefore,
would provide an additional safeguard. with
two canals the danger Of complete stoppage OF
water-borne traffic by reason Of sabotage &C.
cidents or slides would be mnimized, as the
probability Of simultaneous blocking would be
extremely remote
Ofhand 1t might seem unwise to consider
the construction Of a canal in an area subject
to seismic disturbances. Records show that
earth tremors Of greater or less intensity have
occurred in that vicinity over a period Of sey-
eral hundred years. And there was the recent
earthquake which partially destroyed the City
Of Managua. 1t began at 1919 on the morning
Of March 81 1881, and the major shock lasted
for two minutes. The property damage was
estimated at $15,0o0,000 and there was . loss
Of thousand lives
Loss Of life and destruction of property, how
ever, was found to have been caused by fire
and the poor type Of building construction.
The well constructed steel and concrete build
ings suffered no non-reparable damage At
Granada, which Is 80 miles distant, the shock
was barely felt. With proper materials and
American methods of construction, experts are
convinced that even If the canal were In the
earthquake zone, a lock to suffer damage would
have to cross the fault line, possibility which
Is regarded as extremely remote 1t was con-
cluded therefore that the possibility Of earth
quake damage not a factor to influence
the canal project.
The Nicaragua Canal Survey, after complet-
ing its laborious task, concluded that a lock
canal across Nicaragua is feasible; that it
presents no problems of design construction
maintenance which are not capable Of ready
solution by a Nation which built the Panama
Canal The cost Of construction was estimated
at 1922 COO and an additional $40 800 900
would be required for annual operation and
maintenance. Construction work would extend
over a period of 10 years.
The United States in 1915, with an eve to
eventualities, concluded the so-called Bryan
Chamorro treaty with Nicaragua which pc
vided that in return for $4,000, 900, the United
States should have the exclusive right to build
a canal in Nicaragua. 1t is estimated that a
period OF from two to five years would be re-
quired for the negotiation of further necessary
treaties and for the passing Of legislation which
must precede the start of actual construction
The project. therefore, should be initiated ap-
proximately is years before the canal b de-
sired for use
