 National Defense
 "The Legion has continuously and consistently fought for larger appro- priations for national defense. with the results at the last session of Congress of a billion dollar appro- priation for this purpose. Both the Army and Navy received greater appropriations than at any time since the World War. Generous all lowances have been made in these appropriations for aviation. which will result in more and better mili- tary planes, and a substantial in crease in the personnel. At the same time, legislation was made provid- ing for the construction of several Army airplane bases, leaving the appropriations for the same to a later session.
 Tn this connection. Alaska has been very fortunate For the past several years, the Department of AL aska has urged the establishment of Army and Navy air bases in Alaska. not only for the protection of AL aska and it's citizens, but for the prote tion of the States but for the protection of the States as we'll The idea of this need was initiated by Legion members. and has been uppermost in the minds of Department officers ever since. and consider this one of the greatest achievements for National defense that has been made in recent years, We have every assurance that our Army Air base will be started next year.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
DETERIORATION IN DARE

Thirty years ago the theft of anything in Dare
county was so sensational as to be a scandal. Not
even a colored man was often charged with any,
thing so serious.
Today thievery is becoming more common. And
about as much of it seems done by white men as
by colored 1t is risky to leave gasoline fixtures,
or anv other things of value in boats these days.
In one case about two years ago an entire motor
was disconnected and removed from boat.
Stores are broken into now and then. Not often
has the theft boon large one, but suspicion often

CHIVALRY is NOT DEAD

A preacher in New York City Garments" the
passing of chivalry.
This business of lamenting something or other
is quite popular with some people, but it does not
actually ''cut much ice"
What is chivalry, anyway?
Is it merely taking off ones hat to women,
acquaintances in the street and giving up seats IL
the street car?
1t is merely going about with blare Ct trumpets
to hel pan occasional poor and unfortunate neigh
Dor?
Or is it something deeper and more substantial
in our attitude, which acknowledges woman as an
equal an identified to the rights and privileges
and opportunities as men?
And is it perhaps the more practical and not less
altruistc effort to build up society in which
knighthood shall be the opportunity of every man?
For our part, we do not believe true chivalry
is dead and forgotten sentiment
1t is just what some people cannot understand
chivalry anything but show and pose, with
the blare of trumpets and the clash of swords
against armor.-Rock Hill (S,C) Herald.

FORGETTING ABOUT DANGER

Walter Lippman wrote few days ago that 1.-THE

about the supreme danger of monopoly of power
in central government.
"He has so completely forgotten it," wrote Mr.
Pippman. that anyone who dares to denounco
Capitalization he regards as calous to the suffer
ings of the poor, and anyone concerned in this age
NJ despots to preserve the liberties it required
turtles of struggle to establish he dismisses as reac
tionary."
Which is most unfortunate state of mind for
any considerable portion of the body pohtlc-theSe

because it confuSes the real issue and hlnders
general acceptance of what is undoubtedly practic-
al fact as we'll as inherent truth, the liberty, JUS

considered it essential to recite in the constitution
and to maintain by law.--Rock Hill (S.CD Herald

CHANCE FOR SMITH, PERHAPS

During his long stay at Washington Senator
Smith has been at all times the friend of the farm
Ell and the outspoken advocate of square deal for
the man who feeds and clothes the country AL
though a staunch, dyed-in-the-wool Democrat Sem
ator Smith has been bitter critic of much of the
administrations farm plan and has not hesitated to
let his opposition be known Now, however, the
plan, much OF it the work of theorists, has been
knocked into cooked hat by the supreme court,
and men who have given large part of their lives
to the study of agriculture and have some prac-
teal knowledge of the subject may have their in
ping, and honest-to-goodness agricuturists like old
Senator Smith may get chance to shine.-Chester

WARNING TO WAGE-EARNERS

While infatonists are said to have recognized
the futility of attempting any mandatory legisla-
ton to attain their purpose, Senator Thomas Of
Oklahoma will do at least little more talking on
the subject.
He says he is going to impress on the senate the
necessary for squeezing "a additional cents out of
the purchasing power of the dollar
We're glad the senator has put it that way, for
it makes it rather clear just what he would like to
do. He would lower the buying power of the dol
lar by about that amount, and hence run all prices
up by some twenty per cent. All citizens who
have to buy anything and who have no assurance
that their incomes are going to be hiked in the
same proportion might take note of what the SEN
ator would like to do to them. We've had some
complaints about the high cost of living as respects
certain items-n the last year or So but that rise
wouldn't be a circumstance to the increase which
the senator would engineer.-Greenville News.

ART HAS NO CONCERN WITH
POLITICAL IDEAS
Nv BRUCE CATION

II must be hard to be such devOut party
man that you don't know whether you
like a piece of music until you find ollt
what the party authorities have to say
about it.
No American is likely to get into such
fix, because neither the Republicans nor
the Democrats, as such, pay much atten-
ton TO the fine arts But it is a real prob
lem in Soviet, Russia, where the composer,
Dimitri ShoStakovitch, has been denounced
formally and officially for composing "un-
Soviet music. ..,
Until a few days ago, Shostakovitch was
the darling of the radicals. His music en-
bodied the pureSt spirit of Communism,
and when capitalist outfits like the Phila-
delphia orchestra played some of it the
world revolution drew perceptibly nearer.
But ShostakOvitch has gone off the front
page and is back among the want ads, ami
no good Communist will listen to him.
His case is worth examining, because 1t
helps illustrate the odd state of affairs
into which you get when you try to make
every activity of life conform to some one
all-embracing theory.
Shostakovitch writes music in the mod
ern manner; music that is harsh, dissonant,
blaring music that you can't whistle, be-
cause there is nothing to whistle.
A conservative soul is apt to find it just
q lot'of noise; and somehow, perhaps be-
cause of that fact, the Russians got the no
ton that this music was MarXism express
ed in terms of trombones and kettledrums.
So he became a national hero. His opera,
Lady Macbeth" had two-year run IL
Moscow Party leaders assured everyone
that this man was greater than Wagner,
He found himself Russia's most famous
composer.
And then, without warning, the tables
were turned. The Moscow newspaper,
"Pravda," suddenly announced that his
music was just muddle, after all-"frag-
ments of melody dissolving into general
roar, scruneh, and scream"
Newspapers all over Russia followed this
cue; from being the very embodiment OF
distilled Marxsm Shostakovitch overnight
became petty bourgeois, who was clear
ly up to no good
All this seems to add up to good Joke
with ShoStakovitch on the receiving end
What happened, proably, was that Stain
himself at last got around to hear some OF
this music, rushed from the place crying,
this is terrible!' and let the party hacks
do the rest.
But it is an interesting example of the
folly you can commit by supposing that a
pure work of any kind of art lntrlnslcalty
can be either Communist or non-Commu-
mist. The canons of art have precious little
to do with such considerations
Music, whether it be Shostakovitch's OF
Beethoven's, is-music; nothing more
nothing less. You let yourself in for much
befuddlement by trying to fit it to poll,
teal theory.
