Gall my life I have tried to make
music red hot and inspired"
this is not the statement of an emf
nent dance band leader, but that
of the famous orchestra conductor
who has led the Philadelphia SYM
phony Orchestra for a number Of
years, Leopold Stokowski.
Stokowski contributes an article
this week to a certain national
weekly explaining why he is so
interested in the movies. II have
no intention Of deserting my other
work permanently for Hollywood.
I go to Hollywood to face great
spiritual challenge-in the hands
of Hollywood lies the future spir-

Stokowski, els above all elSe-the
current language of humanity"
While the orchestra sequence in
'"The Big Broadcast of 1887"
lasted only five minutes, yet he
writes, "They tell me-that after
the playing of the Bach fugue in
that picture, audiences in movie
houses all over the country break
into wild applause. Stokowski
concludes in his Liberty magazine
story that "the people of America
are ready, eager for great music.
And the motion picture belongs to
the millions" Speaking of re-
corded music, he decries the neces-
sity of breaking into the con-
tinuity of music by the ne
cessity of turning records, and
hopes that great works will
be recorded soon on films that
will play to the end without inter
ruption.

"The best hope that employees can

The admirals, however, insisted that
nobody knew what a plane could do
to warship since Mitchell's experi-
ment was not carried out under war
time conditions.
Referring to Mitchell's experimental
bombings, the report said drily:
"A great deal of publicity has been
accorded to American experiments
carried out between 1922 and 1925
against three warships which had
been scrapped; some publicists. in the
absence of knowledge of the series Of
experiments conducted here, rely very
largely on these American expert
ments to argue their case that the
day Of the capital ship is over.
I'VE are clear that these trials,
which were in many respects peculiar
to themselves, do not by any means
constitute the last word on the sub
ject. On the contrary, the admiralty
has since gone into the matter much
further and much more thoroughly.
The American Government has not
been iduced to cease building capital
ships" +

NEW ARCHIVES BUILDING
CALLED WORLDS MODEL
Termed One of Three Most Beautiful
Structures in Capital Many Devices
Aid i'm Preservation of Records.

AS the country grew, so grew our
official records-our archives. Rec
ords began to crowd out the recorders.
During the 13 years from 1917 to 1880
the Federal Government accumulated
more than twice as many records as it
had in its entire previous history! The
imagination can add to these the
mountainous volume of depression and
New Deal records.
Valuable archives were scattered
over Washington in more than 200
repositories, gathering mold and dust
and destructive insects, disintegrating
from old age. Now. located and
marked for permanent storage, hun
dreds of tons of them are being taken
to the National Archives Building.
Before they are placed in the stacks
they are completely fumigated-run
on book trucks into sterilizing vault.
Thus all worms and germs are killed.
Then the dust and mold is air-blasted
by means of a vacuum cleaner that
would bring delight to the heart of the
most fastidious HOUSEWIFE machine
designed by the National Archives for
its own special needs. The records,
now clean, are then restored as COM
pletely as possible.
Temperature, humidity and the
chemical content Of the air can be so
regulated as to prevent deterioration
Of the stored papers.
The records assembled here are not
all paper. The newest archive may be
a film. The movie industry Is quite
willing to give the National Archives
millions Of feet of its historical films.
In every case, too, the industry knows
the film Is historically correct in every
detail, but when asked, will the f1lm
itself last until 100 years from now?"
1t just doesn't know the answer! 1t
tells the archivist, Eve have never
tried to keep a film 100 years!"
There are f1reproofed vaults for the
films accepted, q protected projecting
room and an ideal little theater in
which such films may be shown.
Each archive eventually will make
periodical visits to the reading rooms

from the large owners and distribut-
ing them among the peasants.
But the poems won't be satisfied
with the mere acquisition of land, if
the land does not feed them" said
the exiled cotton grower. 1T is
situation fraught with danger. and
the danger is made greater by the
dissensions prevailing in the ranks of
the national revolutionary party,
which Is the real ruler Of Mexico"
Arrival of Trotsky.
These dissensions. which directly
or indirectly have led to number
of killings lately, such as the hacking
to death of Jose Ines Huerta. labor
leader, by members of rival group,
have come to a head with the arrival
Of Trotsky. The Mexican Communist
party. affiliated with the Third Inter-
rationale, issued violent manifesto
against granting asylum to Trotsky,
whose cause is sponsored in Mexico
by the anti-Stalinist faction and up
held by Diego Rivera. the mural
painter. Vincente Lombardo Tole-
dano. a powerful labor leader with
Moscow affiliations, has come out
against the government action i, pro-
tecting Trotsky, and his words have
been echoed by Herman Laborde, an
other Stain follower.
Then again, certain radical features
of the Mexican government program
have lately been sidetracked or soft
pedaled. and this may prompt a howl
from the more extremist supporters
of the regime. 1t is remembered that
the great agrarian leader, Emilano
Zapata. apostle of land distribution,
met an untimely end in April, 1919.
when he fell into trap prepared by
Col. Guajardo. follower Of Gen.
Carranza. Although conditions in
Mexico at present are not similar to
those of Carranza's time, political vio-
lence still follows the same road. as
was shown by the dynamiting of q
railroad bridge early last year, caus-
ing a train disaster Of the first mag
nitude. attributed by the government
to partisans of Gales.
When it Is recalled that the Reds
in 1923 backed Gales, who is now con-
sidered an enemy of the revolution"
after having been its supreme chief";;
that a Hindu, Manabendra Nath Roy
whom some suspect of having been a
German spy in Mexico during the
war;, caused turmoil in the country
not so many years ago; that Japan
ese Sovietist, Katayama, also had q
hand in the fortunes of the Mexican
revolutionary" movement, and that
the I. w. W., Catalonian anarchism,
Kropotkin and Malatesta all have, at
one moment or another, stirred the
Mexican cauldron, it will be realized
that radicalism Is not q problem OF
this day in Mexico.
It Is deeply entrenched issue.
Thirty years ago, in 1907, it had its
first bloody show. It may be again
the fuse that lights the bomb through
the action of q group intent on carry
ing out by force some demand that
the smoldering opposition resents.

Mexican official representatives de-

Gently returned from an extended trip
to Mexico
However, that is not the opinion of
several exiled Mexican planters, just
arrived in the United States. who do
not want to make their names public
'for fear of what may happen" to
their families in Mexico If that is so
they asked, why did the Mexican gov
ernment send $50 cavalrymen to the
border near Laredo, Tex, on December
26, with no other conceivable purpose
than stopping the smuggling Of arms
and ammunition into Mexico?
Why, they ask, did the Cardenas
regime enlist thousands of peasants in
the army reserve, which now totals
$4,000 men? Why the great to-do
about the police killing of Lauro
Rocha, the rebel chief, who was ma
chine gunned in bed December 81?
Can the tension prevailing in the
Laguna territory. which covers good
part of the states of Coahuila and
Durango be ignored? Does not the
attempted bombing of Gen. Gales
mansion in San Diego. Calf. on New
Year day mean that feelings are
running high? And. finally. hasn't
the arrival of Leon Trotsky stirred up
hornets nest in Mexico?
One exile, whose n-growing
holdings in the Laguna district have
been taken over by the government,
emphatically afirms that all these
straws in the wind fly In one direc-
tion-revolt.
Gold Shirts Not Dead.
Furthermore, he asserts, the Gold
Shirts, a nationalistic, semi-Fascist
organization, is not as dead as the
Mexican government would have one
believe. Gen. Nicholas Rodriguez,
formerly head Of the Gold Shirts. is
now In Ell Paso, Tex. Questioned
about Rodriquez's activities there,
Rafael de Ia Colina, the Mclean Con-
sui General In New York, said, If
that were all the danger. we would
have nothing to worry about" Yet,
the aforementioned exiled landowner
asserts that the danger must have
caused some worry. or the presence of
the $50 cavalrymen across the border
would have no justification.
The consensus of the exiles Is that
President Lazaro Cardenas Is more
than a politician; he is q leader, and
In Mexico q politician may be re-
moved painlessly. but the removal Of
q leader cannot be achieved without
a tragedy. History, they say, bears
this out. Gales, the former iron

kept in neat stacks in fireproofed
vaults in one of the most beautiful

ments just now merging into history,

latest war memoirs, to speak so harsh

Gen. Pershing said to the allied high
command about preserving the identity
Of the American Army on the war
front, and what Gems. Foch and Haig
replied to that, and what Lloyd George
thought of the whole business, etc, etc.
There are archives bearing sigma
lures Of Emperors, Kings and Presi-
dents-world-famous statesmen and
soliders-men who built empires or
destroyed them-whose names will live
through the ages. There are others
whose import and effect will last
forever, in their historical value sim.
ply priceless to the historian-signed
by obscure and now long-forgotten
clerks.
One Of the newest archives is the
collection Of records from the field
offices Of the abandoned N. r. A., now
neatly placed in the stacks" near the
records of the wartime Food Admin
istration. All are official records Of
the Government no longer in use in
the department where they originated,
but of such administrative and his
torical value that they must be kept.
Many of these irreplaceable records
have been carefully protected for years
