STRING GROUP

Before banqueting last night,
the delegates to the Music
Teachers National Association,
in convention here, attended an
afternoon recital in the chamber
music auditorium of the Library
Of the Congress of the United
States. Harold Bauer and the
Gordon String Quartet (Jacques
Gordon, Ralph Silverman, Paul
Robyn and Naoum Benditzky)
were the artists.
Despite the dignity of setting,
the program was wanting in
interest and color. High artistry
Of execution could not atone for
the paucity of real, important
music. Mr.. Daniel Gregory
Mason's String Quartet on
Negro Themes" was the loveliest
number of the trio offered.
At times it scorned emotion, be-
came distinctly intellectualized,
turned sophisticated and yet
achieved some passages of genu-
inc fine writing. with orchestral
touches singularly surprising.
OF 1.-TWO Sketches for String
Quartet, base on Indian Themes"
by the late Charles T. Griffis,
there is little say. The motifs
were illadvised and the treat
ment bald and, for Griffis,
inadequate.
DR.. Carl Engel, head of the
Library's music division was rep
resented by "Triptych for Violin
and Piano" played superbly by
Mr.. Gordon and Mr.. Bauer.
Mr.. Engel, one regrets, has
little to say musically; only the
brilliance of the artists saved his
composition from oblivion.

Americas Role in New Era

back in its course. For unless we have
turned the corner of the nineteenth
century, it is wholly within the rights
of Japan to decide for itself what 1t
shall do with its neighbor.
For there can be no Goubt but what
Japan's grievances in Manchuria and
the rest of China were OF the kind that
would have been recognized as a just
cause of war down to these last years.
1t is not necessary to enumerate the
grievances; they are sufficiently known,
and in the eyes of the conservative ele-
ment Of Japan, especially its military
leaders, acts of war were the only kind
of pressure that would bring redress.
Judged on the basis of the past history
of Western nations, Japan's action was
not only legitimate but to be expected.
1t was SO much in line with what the
Western powers had repeatedly done
that unless We have really crossed the
Rubicon into the new era, our protests
on the basis of higher morality are
only another example Of what has often
been termed Anglo-Saxon hypocrisy.
This is the heart of the question Of
our relations with Japan-Whether We
really mean, for ourselves and for all
the world, the permanent establishment
of the principles Of the Kellogg BRAND
pact and the Covenant of the League Of
Nations. If we only mean to use the
pact to head off other nations from
enterprises which we have other reasons
to oppose, and are not ready to
strengthen in every way the edifice Of
peace and international cooperation for
which We make such high claims in this
incident. then our maladjustment with
the world is worse than if We never had
made such a gesture of international
morals
The japanese issue. then, raises in
Evening star., 1932-06-05

/ the United States a challenge to make
good in the incomplete alignment with
the forces of peace throughout the
world-a challenge to find the adequate
substitute for war as an instrument of
national policy when denying nations
that instrument which has been theirs
from the beginning of time. The real
issue raised in Manchuria is whether
there is any better way than that which
Japan has used.
1t is not enough to stop Japan and
hold 1t back from its objectiveS, for the
objectives are those by which civiliza-
ton has progressed in the past. Japan
proposes to take on itself ''the white
mans burden" in the Far East 1t Is
trying bravely, but, as We think, miStak-
enly, to be the policeman in sphere
of anarchy; to safeguard life and prop
erty where both are insecure; to undo
corruption in one OF the most corrupt
governments in the world, that of the
war lords of Manchuria; to end ban
ditry in the countryside and make it
possible for the hard working, peace
loving Chinese farmers to escape the
eXactions of unscrupulous tax-gatherers
and money lenders.
The aim of all this endeavor is lauda-
BILE and high, and in the setting Of nine
teenth century history there would be
only one basis for opposing it. and that
would be when these measures run
counter to the material interest of
another state. The unanimity of opinion
, in Japan in support Of its policy would
seem to argue that 1t at least has not
taken seriously or not taken seriously
enough, the revolution in international
affairs which is symbolized by the Kel-
logg pact and the covenant of the
League. But it would be justified in
this if we. for our part. do not make our

effects involving combatants and nom
combatants in one blind fury of de-
Struction, and those the action of
which is in the main concentrated on
the armed forces of the enemy, and
spares, as far as may be, the civilian
population.
Obviously the difficulty of making
such distinctions is immense. Each
weapon is the answer to some other,
as the tank to the machine gun. When
we abolish one, what scope may we
not be giving the other? For what
new weapon may We not be opening
the way?
Distinction Is Difficult.
Or take the attempt to distinguish
between the combatant and the nom
combatant Does it not remind you of
the trumpeter in Aesop's Fable who
pleaded to be spared on the ground
that he had killed no one but had
blown his trumpet only to encourage
the others?
What decides in these days Of ma
tions in arms whether man is to be
soldier in the trenches, an artisan
IN the factory or a peasant in the
fields? Not his own will, but the needs
Of his country. He will go where he Is
sent, and he will be sent where he will
be most useful in waging the war to
successful conclusion.
Again, an arsenal or arms factory
is surely legitimate object of attack.
Yet there was probably not an arsenal
among the combatant nations in Eu-
rope which long before the war ended
did not contain nearly as many women
and girls as men, and often more.
do not state these difficulties with
any wish to disparage the value of dis
taking place, still less with any desire
to render the discussion fruitless or to
damn in advance whatever agreement
may be reached. 60.

service by stating at least two of them
quite frankly, forbearing to criticize
and confining himself for the moment
to simple exposition of them. Let us
like him, refuse to despair.
It Is the universe, experience OF
those who have taken part in interna-
tional conferences that no such con-
ference will succeed unless the ground
has been carefully prepared. In this
case that preparation was long, detailed
and laborious; but it is equally their
experience that, even after such prepa-
ration, the road to agreement is apt to
be long and weary, the travellers beset
with perils and often threatened with
disaster.
Indeed, in most cases. 1t is not until
danger is pressing and disaster immi-
nent that the way of salvation is found
1t Is only at that moment and in face
of common perils that the travellers
forget their differences and unite to
climb together to safety. 1t may well
be that in this case, as in many others,
dawn will break only when the dark
ness seems most profound.
Limitation Of Two Kinds.
For the moment the conference would
appear to have given provisional ac-
ceptance to the principle that limita-
tion of ornaments must be of two
kinds; it must not be solely quantita-
tive, by fixation of the numbers of men
or weapons of any type each nation
may possess. 1t must also be qualita-
tive; it should prescribe certain weapons

have their way, submarines would be

THE Ten O'Clock Club Chorus, a
L newly organized group OF young
ladv singers, was presented IN a
program of Christmas music at the
club house, 1903 K street, yesterday
afternoon at 1 o'clock.
1t is an accepted idea that one
usually attends first performance
with a little fear and trembling, but
anv such feeling was soon dispelled
with the realization that this en-
semble of scarcely a dozen voices
was filling the room with melody
produced with ease and confidence
and a freshness Of tone that was
most gratifying.
The chorus was conducted by
George Cornwell. who also played
the accompaniments and directed
from the piano. There were times
when one felt the piano was push
ing the chorus along or making exag-
gerated diminuendos to accomplish
effects with soft-tone work in the
chorus, but there were a number
of commendable points in Mr.. Corn
wells direction. Among them we
NAV list the fact that he has already
accomplished a uniformity of place
ment in the voices that makes for
good blending of tone, and in their
careful work In diction there was
splendid uniformity of pronuncia-
ton.
