Of facts. A great proportion Of
our commercial and industrial
leaders are with the President
as sincerely as they were when
they rallied to his support in
1882. Why shouldn't they be?
What business is there in all our
vast country that has not been
helped by the present Admins

From this point Farley launched
into a defense Of the Roosevelt
record, observing among other
things that the national wealth
has been increased by % billions
Of dollars since the Roosevelt Ad.
ministration came into power, sim.
ply through increased commodity
and stock prices.
He predicted there would be no
third party and no division in
the Democratic ranks, although
he warned that "our adversaries'
are working along these lines. He
continued:
Nobody knows who will be
the Republican nominee, least
Of all the Republicans. They
dare not nominate Herbert
Hoover, the most eminent pro-
pOnent Of the dO-nOthing policy
that brought on the great eco
nOmic calamity; for they know
that when the people in 1882
cast the Hoover administration
overheard they registered more
than a political decision.
'"They cannot nominate Sena-
tor BOrah, because that veteran

being done to keep the country

The bill, he said, would give the
President power to regiment for

American foreign policy and drive
trade to other nations. Borchard
said:

Professor Borchard said it was

people in consideration of foreign
policy.
The State Department, he said,
has tried to end the Italo-Ethi-

get away with anything. More
times than would seem possible,
for instance, a trumpet player in
such an orchestra as the New
York Philharmonic will miss a
high tone.
Most conductors will believe the
musicians claim that it is not al
ways possible to adjust the lips in
the most delicate manner re-
quired to be absolutely sure of OBJ
tanning the tone in question. Stuff
and nonsense! A trumpet player
of symphony caliber who fouls a
tone has no more excuse than a
grand opera singer who fails to hit
a tone correctly.
A conductor who has experience
in playing brass instruments would
know that the musician has been
laying down on his daily practice
and would not allow him to offer
any flimSy excuses about the del
icate adjustment of his embou-
chure.
A conductor who is able to talk
to his men about each instrument
in terms of an actual performer
commands the greatest respect.

Pop" concerts with real corkS

next Sunday in New York City
at the American Music Hall with
Georges Barrere and his Little
Symphony Orchestra giving q
program of light and classic music
from 4 to o'clock. While wine

ing the program. it would hardly
seem necessary to get tanked up
in order to enjoy Barrere'S Little
Symphony.
1t seems to be a growing passion
among established instrumental
artists to wish to try their hand
at conducting. The latest artist
reported to be flirting with the
baton is the young violinist
Yehudi Menuhin. Anyone who
can pack them in like Yehudi
whenever he gives recital would
be losing plenty of money to have
to divide his efforts with a hun
dred other musicians.
Nelson Eddy, who commands
$500 a recital, is quite wise in
remaining out of the Metropoi-
tan Opera Company. AS long as
he is able to fill as many recital
engagements as physically posi-
BILE at that figure, he would lose
by sharing his efforts.
But human nature is such that
most people have a suspicion that
they could do something else bet
ter than others. Yehu6i Menuhin,
in becoming interested in conduct
ing, is probably iactuated by this
urge. He is equipped with one of
the first requisites of a conductor,
a great ability in artistic interpre-
tation.
Now that Yehudi is in retire.
ment for a period Of two years, the
most valuable training that he
could possibly go through in max
ing himself ready to mount the
podium would be to take a couple
hours a day in actually learning
to play different instrument
each month. BY the end Of the
two years, he would have, by first
hand experience, an accurate
knowledge of the possibilities and
the weak points of each instru-
ment in the orchestra.
The number of noted living
orchestral conductors who have a
knowledge through practical ex-
perience in playing the various in
struments could be counted on the
fingers of one hand. This thor
ough training would at once set
him apart among conductors.
If conductor has actually
played each instrument to an
average degree of proficiency, then
