Nazi RObber Barons.

So far, world condemnation of the
latest aspect OF Nazi anti-Semitic mad
ness-expropriation of the property OF
Jews-haS been confined to such pro-
tests as that of the United States on
behalf of Jews who are American citi-
zens. AS Berlin has ignored that
remonstrance, it is surmised that the
dispoSsession decree may lapse, as far
as our nationals are concerned. The
Wilhelmstrasse doubtless warned Hitler
OF the diplomatic complications and
international reprisals he would invite If
the robber baron policy were to be ex-
tended to Jews Of foreign citizenship.
There is now reason to believe that
the property registration with which
Jews must comply by June 80 is not a
mere measure Of Semitic determination,
but is a prelude to a drive designed
eventually to victimize all foreign prop
erty holders in Germany. 1t is appar-
emily program for revenue primarily.
AS far as this country is concerned it can
easily prove boomerang. There are
some 350000 persons here who owe al
legiance to Hitler. Many of these ex-
patriates must own considerable Amer
ican property. If Hitler seizes the
property of Americans in Germany, it
is insupposable that this country could
or would long hesitate to pay him back
In his own burglarious coin.
One Of the Nazis transparent pur-
poses is to hasten the emigration of
German Jews, Of whom there are still
about 100000. AS they can only leave
with a bare fragment of their worldly
possessions, an estimated maximum of
three per cent, every involuntary exile
represents good business" for the Na1
exchequer. Jewish capital and property
is reckoned to be in excess OF 1000, ,OO0,-
600 marks. Yet another explanation of
recrudescent anti-Semitic oppression is
the desire to bring pressure on the
refugee conference meeting at Evian,
France, in July on President Roosevelt's
Initiative
Nazi plans to purge German business
Of every vestige of Jewish ownership,
management or participation-even to
the extent of forbidding government en-
ployes to live in houses of non-Aryan
landlords-obviously spring, too, from
other inspiration than racial fanaticism
Promotion of Aryanism is the ostensible
motive. but it is now plain that more
practical ideals fire the Nazi soul. On
the same day this week that witnessed
harsher DEGREES to impoverish Jews,
Economics Minister Funk proclaimed
that Germany repudiates Austrias for
eign obligations. On April the United
States asked Germany to assume $685.
005, ,480 of Austrian war debts owed here,
rs we'll as $3s, ,483,0 900 of obligations in
Austrian federal, provincial and corpora
ton securities.
If further proof were required that the
Nazis are mixing avarice with theology,
1t would be supplied by reports that they
are holding Baron Louis Rothschild,
head Of the Austrian branch of the
famous banking dynasty, prisoner in
Vienna pending his ransom for $10,O00,-
600, on trumped-up charge of his re-
sponsibility for failure of the Vienna
Creditanstalt In 1881.

Federal Government and to give in re-
turn as little as possible. It was his pro-
found concern for the future Of the
Nation that prompted him to militant
disagreement with the Roosevelt admin
istration. Reelected in 1884 as friend
of the President, he differed with the
New Deal because Of its radicalism and
its extravaganza. Yet there never was
any question about his sympathy for the
poor and the distressed. Up to the last
he carried in his heart an instinct for
human fellowship not often, If ever, ex-
ceeded.
Perhaps 1t was his experience as
small town physician in Michigan that
was responsible for the development of
his capacity for winning and keeping
the allegiance Of voters of all classes.
Professional politicians often were at
odds with him. but the public appre-
ciated him from the start. Through his
contributions to the press and particu-
larly through his correspondence he
earned the loyalty and confidence Of
thousands. Had he lived another
decade he might not have risen to
higher position, but he surely would
have gained added fame for useful and
helpful service rendered.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

The symphony orchestra rightly may
be considered in this group. Not every
listener, either In concert hall or at
home. realizes that each great orches-
ira has tore ali its own.
Sometimes this peculiar tonal quality
Of the given orchestra changes over the
years. Often new conductor will spoil
. tone built up over many years. Then
more years must 60 by before the organ
'ization acquires q new one.
Interest in certain types Of music is
another honest basis for record selection.
It is impossible If one sticks to this
guide, to have, at the end Of five years or
ten years, collection OF recorded odds
and ends, without relationship, one to
another.
You like symphonies, for instance.
Then see that a major part of your
collection is made up of the great works
In this form.
You like waltzes. Many fine recorded
performances are available. You like
Swing" music. The market is flooded.
But be sure you get worthy perform
ances, for there is excellent swing" as
well as mediocre swing" and as well as
very poor examples.
This basis for selection includes types
Of voice, although this might also apply
to the previous class, interest in instru-
ments.
Great soprano arias, for instance
what collection could be better than one
composed of these?
None, Of course, except one.
Il Il
This exception is the collection based
on an interest in the subject of music,
or music itself.
This presupposes broadness, quality
hard to find in humans. almost as
difhcult to attain as tolerance.
Many people especially young ones,
think they like music, when, alas, they
like only themselves.
Happening to take fancy to the
symphony, they concentrate on this
mode of music to the exclusion Of every
thing else.
Anything else in music is loss, as
far as they are concerned.
All symphony and no swing" posi-
lively none, makes Johnny a dull person
to talk to about music.
His intolerance may be laid to his
years, perhaps, but he is in danger Of
growing in.o a narrow musical listener.
\
He would do better and all record COL
lectors, In particular. would do well to
think over the whole field of music, and
try to make their personal collections
reflect this richness in little.
No one can really have any idea of
music. no matter how many symphonies
he has, who has not listened to Oriental
music beyond the laughing point.
A first hearing of Chinese songs, for
instance, will make any Occidental hear
er smile. After a few hearings, the
smiles vanish and in their stead is appre-
citation.
The music of Bali Is not something
Just to read about, but to hear, and any
hearer will find his judgments and
appreciations of our own music made
surer and finer by the hearing.
The curse of the music listener is that
he will be narrow to his own hurt The
modern phonograph and records remove
this danger far from him, if he is wise
enough to let his pocketbook, not his
mind, limit him.

In the death OF Senator Copeland the
District of Columbia has lost one Of its

Why do friends Of recorded music buy
the disks they do?
Even the enthusiast sometimes viii
wonder.
The basic difference between listening
to music in o concert hall and at home
Is that in the latter place it may be re-
peated.
Therefore, music worth buying is mu-
sic to which one must be able to listen
many times with satisfaction.
Since even the most astute listener,
though musician himself, cannot be sure
of this supreme quality, some other basis
for selection is to be chosen, unless one
does not mind hodgepodge Of disks,
as the average collection most often is.
k*% y
What are some Of the most pertinent
reasons people buy the disks they do?
l. Interest in the performer.
2. Interest in certain composers.
3. Interest In certain instruments, in.
cluding human voice.
4. Interest in certain types Of music.
5. Interest in the subject Of music, or
music itself
In the old days Of the acoustical rec
ords and machines, perhaps nine-tenths
of all records sold were purchased on q
basis of interest in performers.
The famous name" was the all all,
the alpha and the omega. Of recorded
music.
Fortunately, with the coming Of elec-
trical recording and reproduction, the
accent was taken from the performers
and placed where 1t belongs, on the
music itself. Not, Of course, that great
musicians are not to be considered. But
1t realized as never before, and espe-
cially by record purchasers. that the
so-called greatest artists" are not the
only artists-there are countless good
musicians. and disks showing their per-
formances often are the most pleasing
and artistic OF all.
Interest in the performer is still q
legitimate reason for record collection.
Keeping in mind the basic requirement,
that disk should be Of suficient quality
to make many repetitions both whole
some and entertaining, the collector will
find the singer or instrumental perform
er he likes real aid making q WORTH
while collection, free from the haphaz-
collecting in the old days.
Interest in certain composers is an
even better guide.
Composers Of the classic Russian
school commonly make mighty appeal
to the young collector. whereas many a
man, as he grows older, turns to Beetho-
ven, whose music hitherto he had
thought he despised.
A small and select list Of great COM
posers in time will give any collector a
record cabinet Of great music well worthy
of his time, effort and money spent in
collecting the disks.
In recent years there has been more
music by Bach, Beethoven and Mozart
put on records than the work Of any
others.
This is significant. For we are deal
ing here, not with performances keyed
down to so-called popular appeal, but
with an honest effort to give music low
erS the best there is.
Interest in certain instruments, such
as the piano, or the human voice, re-
garded as an instrument-this is q very
good way to make a collection.

Women Work to
Support Families.
To the Editor OF The Star:

Support Families.
To the Editor of The Star:
IN THE June issue of The Star, Robert
E. Howe made the statement that
the true cause OF unemployment and
the consequent depression was the un-
fortunate emancipation Of women and
the fact that so many Of them occupied
well-paid positions, which rendered them
economically independent. He further
states that the life Of the average work
ing girl is pathetic thing, with nothing
to do but work, eat, sleep. buy clothes
and have an occasional date. He says
that she seldom buys car or insurance
and never buys home, so that most OF
the money earned by unmarried women
is directed into two channels clothing
and cosmetics-and hence the money
earned by them is unevenly spread.
To begin with, I will grant that the
ideal life for any woman would be that
of a sheltered wife and mother with
devoted husband who Is willing and
capable of providing her and her chill
dren with all Of the comforts OF a
good home. But, alas, there are not
enough men either willing or capable
of providing homes for all the women
in the world, and, fortunately, or un-
fortunately. depending upon ones point
of view, the women often prove more
capable than the men in their families
not only in providing for themselves,
but in caring for the sick, the aged and
the dependent ones in their respective
families The poorhouses and other
institutions In this country would be
filled to overflowing and taxed beyond
their limit were 1t not for the army Of
capable and self-sacriflcing single women
who spend their all to give aid and COM
fort to helpless ones in their families.
In spite of assuming family burdens,
most of them do buy insurance or an
nuities. It is the only form of saving
they are able to indulge Inland they
know full well that, not having married
a meal ticket, thereM be no one to
provide for their old age II they don't
do it themselves. Many buy cars and
some even buy homes, Mr.. Howe's state
ment to the contrary.
It is a well-known fact that just in
the ratio that nation keeps its women
in subservience to the domination OF the
male and denies them emancipation and
economic independence, just so far re-
moved is that nation from the highest
type Of civilization. Striking examples
of this are shown in comparison Of the
progress of nations like India and
Turkey, where women are denied all
rights to lead their own lives, with ma
tions showing the advancement and
progress of Great Britain and the United
States, where women have achieved the
highest type of economic independence.
In NaM Germany and Fascist Italy.
where Hitler and Mussolini compel
women to remain in the home, leaving
all Jobs for brothers and husbands, the
economic conditions are far worse than
in the United States or Great Britain.
where women are allowed their inde-
pendence and right to follow their
careers. 1NEZ JUSTUS.

It is this, cleanliness. The lady

nine-tenths of the way along the
road to beauty. There is a GER
tain fascination about a woman
who exhales cleanliness. She
makes an appeal that is irresist-
able. If you are in a guam

by making yourself immaculate
and you will have gone far, very
far, towards making yourself
