world powers should give Italy sufficient resources to be free from economical oppression.
 Did England win the war alone? Is she paying pensions to the de- pendants of 600,000 Italians who lost their lives in the war and to the disabled veterans? Is she pay ing 1taly's immense war debts?
 Is England paying the uesions to the widows, orphans and other de- pendants of United States World war veterans, and the compensa- tions awarded them which weigh crushingly over the heads of our American citizens and firms in tho form of heavy taxes?
 Is England paying for the main tenance of our veteran hospitals and for our war expenses? Why should she have gotten most of the spells of the war, her capitalists be reaping the benefit of infinite wealth acquired by the war. while other nations which were equally responsible, if not decisively re- sponsible to save England's em- pire, are holding the bag?
 Rcpudlated Debt
 England Is the only country that could afford to pay the money she borrowed from us during the war, but was among theh rst to depudi- ate those obligations.
 The rank and file of American citizens are too intelligenet to be influenced by such distorted propa- ganda as carried on to get us in- volved, and newspapers like the New York Timets, which is 8 sub sidiary of the London Times, could save space for more interesting news.
 Americans have read their his- tory and know that their fore fathers had to rebel against British tyranny, had to enjgage in another war in 1872, and that she helped the south during the Civil war. History teaches us that England is Americas traditional enemy.

At the Connecticut state depart meRt meeting of the Italian-Amcr. ,, ican World War Veterans of the United States of America. two res- olutions were adopted by unani- nous vote bearing on the Italian Ethiopian controversy.
 One resolution, introduced by John Dc Pastino. liason officer of Florio post. No. 4, Waterbury Conn, provided for sending a let ter of thanks to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and to the Connecti- cut senators and congressman, for the adoption of the neutrality act. Another resolution introduced by Joseph A. Agrisani, state depart ment adjutant, provided for send ing a resolution to the president and to the senators and congress- mending the adoption of a law which would regulate the conduct of American citizens travelling the high seas and through foreign countries in times of war.
 Delegates were present from posts from various cities of the state and towns in Connecticut and allegiance to the United States and its constitution was affirmed. The veterans were unanimous in their willingness to defend the constitution and in the principle that Americans should fight only In defense of the territories of the United States, and that this coun- try should have nothing to do with the League of Nations, or with the enforcement of it's sanctions or of the provisions of the Briand-Kel-
 England's Part
 MT. De Pastino, in a stirrini speech asked why England was so concerned in dragging this coun- try into the African question and In pretending to defend the League of Nations and the Briand-Kellogg pact when other countries and es- pecially her ally, Japan. has been violating and is today openly vio- lating both pacts.
 He also .fiayed the so-called League of Nations association and many so-called peace associations for promoting ptopaganda in this country against Italy when no mention is being made about Japan. These same people would like to .see more American blood spilled when they themselves would never venture the real risks of war.
 He also reminded the Christian associations, which would brand Italy and Mussolini's conduct as unchristian, that England has for centuries been and Is presently murdering thousands, who want their independence, and as Chris tians they should encourage Italy's move as tending to liberate the millions of slaves and eliminate the cruel practices of nation which looks to God only when its government is in paril. rI
 What injustice Is there, after all. in conquering a government that itself is barbarously expressing millions of people and ruling over country which could provide space for an overcrowded civilized race?
 Who Won the War?
 Why don't all of these so-called peace loving organizations direct their efforts at convincing England to give Italy q portion of the col- onies which ittook as Q result Of the World war? Italy should be commended for encouraging thein- creaseof the white raco and the

Klemperer Unique Figure.

OTTO KLEMPERER, who will con-
~ duct the Philadelphia Orchestra in
its Washington concert Thursday
night, at 8;45 pm, In Constitution
Hall. is an unique figure in the music
world. 1t has been said of him that
he seems to gather an orchestra under
his wings He towers close to the /
foot mark and is proportionately large.
He is a ponderous appearing man.
gentle in manner, who peers at the
world through heavy glasses. A thick
shock Of black hair croWning his large
frame bellies his nearly so years. Alone
among the great conductors Of the
world, Klemperer conducts without
platform.
Born in Breslau. Germany, Mr..
Klemperer has conducted at Berlin,
Leipzig. Vienna Budapest, Cologne,
Wiesbaden, Strasburg and other cities
where the great European orchestras
give their concerts. His first trip to
America was in 1926, when he came
as guest conductor Of the New York
Symphony.
In the past two years he has alter
mated engagements in Europe, with
periods as conductor Of the Los Ange-
les Symphony and the New York Phil
harmonic. He speaks English f1uently.
mixing it occasionally with French and
German words.
Musical audiences in America have
been built up in the past 20 years
which is so rapid compared with the
100 years that it took to build Euro
pean audiences that I suspect the
constant injection of the element Of
the sensational has had lot TO do
with it," said Klemperer. Il believe
that support for orchestraS should
come from the wealthy rather than
from state or municipal subsidies; for
where the state supplies funds, it de-
, mands influence in return"
Otto Klemperer has said that he has
/ found no outstanding American COM
posers. Among European composers,
notably the moderns, he admires Bar
tok, Stravinsky. Hindemith and Schon-
/ berg.
The program will comprise Cheru-
binis Overture" to "Anacreon," I"
Stravinsky's suite, "Pulcinella," and
Beethoven's Symphony No. in E
| Flat Major"

for more symphonies come in, we will
devote the second half of our concert
OF today to this symphony, which I
consider among the great creations of
preSent-day composers.
AS 1 have said before, Sibelius,
PROBABLY more than any other living
composer, has language of his own
AS it is language, however, it does not
demand-as, for instance, Debussy's
or Schoenberg's-a knowledge differ
ent from that Of the accepted basis.
The best method of approach is to
have no preconceived idea about it
to Just be completely open-minded
and, If not understood at first, to
listen again. This is an essential for
the eventual comprehension of any
message of lasting Importance. and
the lack Of this readiness in our all
too rapid lives is the cause of Sibelius
comparative obScurity. The charac-
ter of the composer, his indifference
to fame and to reputation has added
to this.
The first movement has a Spring.
like and untrammeled atmosphere. 1t
is given a reckless feeling, a grand
vitality-the development wild and
savage and struggling. The climax is
achieved before we know it and the
music ends abruptly with repetition
of the beginning.
The second movement is mysterious,
somber and increasingly passionate.
The quality of this entire slow move
ment is rhapsodic and very typical Of
all that which is essentially Finnish
in Sibelius.
The third movement has the same
quality of free and untrammeled fan
tasy, while the trio in it makes a
lovely contrast of lyrical beauty. The
entire movement is repeated, and the
second time it continues without stop
ping to the finale, which has two dis
tinct themes both in a march-like
| tempo, the first one triumphant, the
second one in a mysterious minor.
/ Toward the end both combine in an
overwhelming major climax and thus
! conclude one Of the greatest and most
personal works of the present-da
literature
