don't like it," he said, 80 it's not art"
Thereupon the critics burst into
their customary regimented eulogy
and hailed Hitler as "the master OF
German art" Two-thirds Of them
must have had jaw ache from hold
ing their tongues so long in their
cheeks. The thesis is now apparently
advanced that because Hitler is a
master political organizer and dema-
gogue, he is by nature master of all
spheres. His henchmen are already
debating physics and mathematics
and searching for Germanic theory
of the atom, so why not?
Mr.. Hitler is catholic in his dis
tastes-that one must admit. Moth
ing alien to the mass-eye seems to
him human. German painters be-
longed to many schools-which means
they we're categorized into schools by
their critics-and, of course, they were
part of all Western culture. There
were abstract painters like Kandinski,
impressionists who had been greatly
influenced by Van Gogh, Cezanne and
Monet. like Kokoschka, who, however.
always credited Van Dyke As the
source Of his greatest inspiration.
There were realistic painters. like Dix,
and very Germanic souls like Paula
Modersohn Becker, who tried to get at
the simple inWardness Of forms. There
were post-impreSsionists like Schmidt
Rottluff and Pechstein, to class them
broadly. These were all names in
German painting, and shreWd men
who spent their lives with pictures
bought their canvases, speculating on
the power Of these squares Of color
to survive day.
Prefers Gap in History.
But Mr.. Hitler neither likes the
Zeitgeist nor any Of its expressions.
He prefers a gap in history. And so

matter of art, is instructed to strip
the German museums and reduce
them to the taste of the maestro.
l am not sure, however, that air
planes and art are unrelated in this
whole incident. There is a fortune
OF modern paintings in Germany
not only of German paintings but of
modern French pictures, some OF the
best Of which the late Paul Cassrer
and other Jewish dealers brought into
Germany. The very pictures which
Mr.. Hitler mathematical in his paper
designed for the Zenith Ladies' Gull
ture Club, are those which have the
highest value on the international art
market. And Hitler needs foreign
currency. If he can strip the peo-
pies museums for good Dutch guild
ers from the art mart in Amsterdam
he will have a little gold with which
to run his labor brieades and arma-
ment factories. Thus purge for the
welfare OF the German soul can be
combined with good business deal.

The artistic criterion for the aver
age man has always been compre-
hensibility But comprehensibility for
the unframed eye and ear is largely
matter of familiarity. Long estab-
lished verse forms are familiar,
therefore Edgar Guest is a poet. New
rhythms are not, so T. S. Eliot is a
charlatan. The ear has become ac-
customed to the harmonies Of
Beethoven and Wagner. and even the
average man can listen pleasurably,
or without acute pain. to the over
ture to "Tanhauser" or the Ninth
Symphony" But the average man
and even the average critic in the
days Of Beethoven and Wagner were
Mortified by what seemed to them
the cacophonies of both composers.
They affected him then, as Stravinsky
affects the average man today. and
had they had their way two titanic
musicians would have been banned
and burned
In civilized societies, however. the
average man is not the court of last
appeal on artistic matters and he is
encouraged to respect his betters, that
is to say, to admit the existence Of
criteria above his own. Mr.. Babbitt
furnishes the funds for the art gall
leries, but takes the advice of experts"

results. He may get more pleasure out
OF collection of photographs Of
movie stars than out of collection Of
Van Goghs. but he vaguely apprehends
that in some few people the Van
Goghs awaken sharp and almost
painful pleasure, an exquisite emotion,
for which. though he does not share
it, he has respect.
Effect of Hitler Decree.
Future historians of this civilization
If there are any civilized historians
in the future to record twill regard
Mr.. Hitlers recent pronunciamentos
on art with interest and wonder. They
tell great deal more about what Is
the talk about the new elite, with
which German literature is replete.
They show that in the sphere of cul-
ture there is no remote chance for an
elite to emerge. On the contrary, the
standards are those of the most un-
differentiated masses. OF the Rabbits
and sub-Babbitts, Of whom. in cultural
matters, Adolph Hitler is the apo
theosis.
His speech in Munich last month,
and Gen. Goering's ordered purge of
the German galleries last Tuesday,
must have caused the most acute dis
comfort and embarrassment to thou
