that Of pianist in support of Mr.. Sal
mond in the sonata which was dedi-
Gated to the cellist. The program
moreover, featured as major num-
bers, the andante from Brahms
Double Concerto, Op. 102" for violin
and cello and the Handel-Halvorsen
"Passacaglia" for the two instruments
unaccompanied.
From hearing Mr.. Enesco's solo
numbers on the violin later in the pro-
gram one could look back at the
sonata excerpt from the standpoint
of certain characteristics revealed In
his playing, with greater understand
ing. Mr.. Enesco Is evidently a seeker
after the most delicate poetic utter
ance in music and this movement OF
his sonata Is written in impressionistic
style. Under the spur Of the vivid
imagina ton of Debussy the tangible
takes form and the shadows a subtle
play Of color. Mr. EneSco has not
been so fortunate in submitting his
musical thought with either clarity or
authority. There is lack Of positive
idea in content or at least q blurring
Of its form, and the construction Is
wanting in coherency. The composer
has attempted to evoke q definite
mood, but has lost in the detail the
power which should belong to the
whole.
In Many Numbers.
And this same failing characterized
his solo performance in many num-
bers. Mr.. Enesco has so thoroughly
worked out every phrase that he has
drained it of every atom Of expressive
ness. Nothing is left to the imagina-
ton of the listener and nothing to
stir the emotions, for he himself has
used up all the sentiment possible for
the exact effect Of each note. The
ability to do this Is in many ways
highly commendable, but Mr.. Enesco
carries it to an extreme and the result
Is too sweetened and too sentimental
lied to bear hearing for any length
of time.
Mr.. Enesco,s tone Is not beautiful
and he lacks vigor Of either thought
or execution, although there Is finesse
In his playing.
This was particularly apparent in
Pugnani's Largo Expressive" and in
the very beautiful la Fontaine dare
thuse" Of szymanowsky, where his
crystal clear trills and passage work
were Of rare loveliness. Sarasate's
"Zigeunerweisen" was given an entire
ly different Interpretation from one the
composer himself used, with an over
stressing Of the sentiment and little
of the virility that is ordinarily asso-
ciated with this work.
Numbers by Salmond.
Felix Salmond gave as his solo num-
bers q cello arrangement Of Faure's
"Apres un Reve," Ravels Piece en-
Forme de Habanera" and the Spanish
cellist, Cassado's (who later will ap-
pear on this series) "Requiebros." Mr..
Salmond's tone Is full and warm and
his technique Is thoroughly grounded
If not brilliant. His playing Of the
"Requiebros" was his best Offering.
BY far the most artistic work Of the
two artists was in the andante from
the Double Concerto" and the Pas
sacaglia." The Brahms number was
exceptionally fine, the subtle quality
of Mr.. Enesco's tone being supple
mented by the more sonorous color Of
the cello. The "Passacaglia" was
worked out to the finest point with
such mutual understanding that every
measure was of artistic significance.
These two selections more than COM
pensated for the lighter character Of

A DESERVED BOOST
IN MEMBERSHIP

Chet Breon is pleased with an in
crease of more than 100 members in the
Associated Farmers of Imperial county,
and Justly The organization of which
he is secretary-manager and similar or
ganization in all parts of the state, may
be forerunners of public opinion which
will go far toward preventing much OF
the pointless labor strife which has
cost California and the rest of the Unit
ed States hundreds of millions of dol
lars in recent months.
These organizations may represent
crystalization of public understanding
of motives behind much of the current
difficulties. They may be instrumental
in bringing clearly to an apathetic pub
lie the knowledge that, strikers often
are not striking for economic better
ment, or or for the public good, but
merely to demonstrate. their power.
When that realization comes, there will
be fewer unjustified strikes and greater
public security
1t is often true that the minority
rules. In the General Motors strike, it
is public knowledge that a minority has
forced the majority to quit work. In
the Pacific maritime strike, a strong
minority has gained and held control
of labor unions Not until the apathy
of the majority has been overcome does
the majority, actually, begin to rule.
The public must know, it is true. Also,
however, the public must be interested
enough to act, if it is to protect its own
interests. Only through leadership will
such knowledge ard interest be inspired,
and for that leadership the people of

sanctions-and altogether. if harsh
looks could kill, Mussolini would
have died thousand deaths.
But Mussolini is sngularly hard
man to bluff. He went right ahead
and conquered Ethiopia, as he said
he was going to- The British did
not try to stop him, but they let
it be known that they would never
recognize his conquest. And tho
along came the trouble in Spain. "a
Mussolini drew cards in this game
at once. Italian planes, munitions,
and men went to Spain. Good re-
lations with Germany were cement
ed by the creation of a common,
pro-Fascist front 1t was limited
broadly that italy would take over
the Balearic islands from Spain.
So a change came over the face
of the waters. The British stopped
talking about the wickedness of the
Ethiopian conquest. Instead, they
got their heads together with Ital-
ian statesmen, and presently an
Anglo-Italian Mediterranean accord
was announced.
Under the surface of the involved
language of this accord, Mussolini
simply agreed that he wouldn't take
those Balearic islands, or approve
of any territorial changes of which
the British did not approve. In RI
turn, it is commonly understod<
that he will get British recogni-
ton OF the conquest of Ethiopia,
together with British loans for de-
velopment of the new colony.

Now this was just what Mussolini
wanted in the first place. That he
actually wanted an Italian foothold
in Spain is very doubtful. That he
wanted to see Germany get a foot
hold there is even more doubtful
for under the surface Germany and
Italy are still bitter rivals in GEN.
trail Europe That he would let
italy get drawn into war by way
of Spain is most doubtful OF all
But he acted as if he wanted all
these things. AS a result every
one rallied around to be nice to
him. And out of it all he gets
unless all the reports are mistaken

opian venture which was the one
