Elliott. who was born in China
while his father was secretary f
the Chinese YMCA. As chairman of
the municipal council in the in

in Annoy, an important port. Elliott
had an opportunity to study the

Prevent Union
In giving an estimate of the slice
of territory Japan has taken from
China in the last 40 years, Elliott
said, Japan has taken land COM
parable to the territory lying be-
tween the Mississippi river and
the Atlantic of Florida and part
of Tennessee are excluded. Their
present aggression is directed at
educational centers as a means of
preventing the Chinese from be-
coming united. The wedge Japan
is driving through China has two
purposes, to prevent the growing
idea of a united China and cut
the nation off from Russia"
Oommunistic Russia gained
foothold in China when she ex-
tended a helping hand after other
nations refused to do So" The
door opened just a crack and Rus
sia entered"
He predicted that the govern
ment finally formed in the war torn
land, the nation with the richest
natural resources in the world. will
be more liberal than the United
States form of government but not
Communistic.
Two Aims
Japan has two aims in China"
Elliott declared, 'jhe seeks to
keep her people from uniting and
isolate her from Russia. Thus far
she has failed in both aims. In
the event of war" he said, 'it
would be impossible for the United
States to keep out of trouble
Japan cannot use acquired Chi
nese territory to catch overflow
population of the island, he con-
tended, because the japanese can
not compete with Chinese labor
Manchukuo is not the goal of the
surplus. The overflow must 60 to
other nations.
Since Elliott retl~ned to the
United States he has delivered
addresses before thousands of per-
sons in schools, service clubs

CARMEN UNEVEN

The Carmen" performance
was fantasticaly uneven. It
profited by some fine voices.
1t suffered by incompetent con-
Quoting and from a cramped
stage. Most of all it was dis
figured by accidents many OF
which could have been pre-
vented by adequate rehearsal.
The hit of the performance
seems to have been made by
Martha Errolle, the Micaela.
She has a lovely, youthful lyric
soprano. She sings with taste.
She is unusually attractive.
The Carmen, Hilda Costa,
also has a fine voice and is a
confident actress, not afraid to
offer a somewhat brutal version
of the Bizet heroine, for which
she has ample and distinguished
precedent, despite the obvious
disagreement Of this interpreta-
ton with the glowing beauty of
the music.
The tenor, Ivan Velik, like
wise is possessed of admirable
vocal gifts. He knows the role
Of Don Jose but costumed it bad
ly. Mario Cozzi, the Escamilo,
made the expected hit with the
Toreador's song. Again the
chorus impressed as unusually
well trained, young and efficient.

too seriously the Sonatine by
Fuga, the suite by Turina and
the short, descriptive pieces by

there was a rough, good hu-

As to the significance Of all this,
the best advice is to wait and

Certain New Dealers who have

Another idea: big business men
are more conciliatory toward

THE MERCIFUL REDMEN

The fighting tactics of the early
American Indians have been de-
nounced in history and fiction as
being ferociously brutal, particu-
larly in the treatment Of women
and children.
But those primitive war mea-
sures look like games Of tiddly-
wink when compared to the war
measures employed by the modern
white man. In the matter of saw
agery and beastlineSs the war
methods of the white people Of
the twentieth century are so
much worse than the atrocities of
the early barbarians that there is
no defending us. And does any
one believe we shall not be held
to account for our frightfulncss?
The more we know, you know, the
more is required of us. One could
imagine the Creator viewing with
certain compassion the dcvilish
capers Of uncnlightened savages,
