DEFENDS RIGHT

Washington, d. C. (ILNS) DE
mand by the people" for the right to
decide whether the United States
should take part in war abroad "can-
not be answered by derision," Senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin told Senate
judiciary subcommittee.
La Toilette was the first witness at
the opening of hearings on proposed
war referendum amendment to the
constitution. He testified before a
committee composed of Senators
Hatch, Miller and Borah.
"The sincere and profound desire
of our people to have a vital and au-
thoritative voice in the matter of their
life and death has been made the sub
ject of dishonest and unfounded witt
cisms," La Toilette said.
"There is nothing in the pending
proposal" he said, (which will cripple
any President in his conduct of our
foreign policy so long as that policy
is not to be implemented in the end
by involving this nation in an offensive
war overseas.
Il do not believe that there is va
lidity in the proposition that there are
effective measures short of a war but
II there are those who take an op-
posite view, this proposal for
referendum on foreign war will
strengthen and buttress that position.
In short, this joint resolution takes
at their word the spokesmen for the
administrations foreign policy who
maintain that it does not involve any
danger or risk of war;"

'Then gently scan
your brother man"
BY Mr.. MOdestus-

Why
Are Investors unwilling
To put their money into new Sc
curities just now?
Bank of New York asked lot of
them that question
More than rs per cent said they had
money available
628o said: Government takes too
much taxes from individual
1870 said: Government takes too
much taxes from corporations
$3.50 said: afraid of labor troubles
77%o said: afraid of legislation
Where did they get so much
money!
The nice word in answer to that is:
they Saved it,
Another word, not so nice, is
1t is other peoples money
A very large section of it is in GUS
tody of insurance companies
Another answer, quite accurate, if
almost Incredible
Is, that seven-eighths of it, con-
servatively speaking
Consists of the reservoir of credit
which is part of our economic sys-
tenn
We are told that there are $40 bill
lions of idle money
But everybody knows that there is
not that much money in the U. S. A
Money lords control the reservoir,
because they possess the valves
So, they are afraid of the legis-
latures-
That means, they are afraid Of the
people who elect Legislators
Also, they are afraid of what labor
may do
And, labor really constitutes the
great majority of the people
So it comes down to this:
The Investors are afraid of the
people of the United States
They are afraid of the possibilities
of democratic action
They hate democracy applied to in
dustry, in the form Of labor unions
They hate any public official who
thinks that the working people have
rights
Especially, if those public officials
are willing to enact laws
Laws, which will recognize and i'm
plement the rights of the people who
work
That means, the great majority of
the people
What have these people been do
ing
That they should be so very much
afraid?
Afraid Of the law makers

Return For lq3q-lq40

NEWS from Seattle symphony
headquarters says that DR..
Nokolai sokoloff. who finished the
symphony season this week will
return in the fall to again conduct
the Seattle orchestra. This an
nouncement will interest Tacoma
patrons of the Seattle symphony
concerts. Another angle of in
terest IL the fact that there are in
Tacoma considerable number of
music people who would like TO see
arrangements made for a series of
concerts here by the Seattle sym
phony. Those who met DIR. Sok-

vocates of the plan. They figure
that II would be cheaper to share
the expense with Seattle than 10

day. DR.. Sokoloff will resume his
work as director of the Federal
Music Project under the WPA
from which he has been on leave
of absence. He will make the same
arrangement next season.
The reason Seattlc has asked DR..
Sokoloff TO come back is the fact
that he knows how to put on pro-
grams that the people will pay to
hear. Packed houses were the
general rule, and that's what
counts.

pY what seemed strange chance
but following the natural paths
Of eYolutiin from the mystery and
miracle plays Of the Middle Ages
there was developed in Rome in
the 18th century form Of music
known as the oratorio. There vas
very little difference between the
orstorio and the then new form
Of musical play called opera. Both
employed the chorus and the newly
invented aria and recitatiye. In
both were included acting. cos
tune, scenery and the ballet. The
only apparent distinction lay in the
character OF the subject matter.
The opera dealt with the loves and
lives of heroes of mythology while
the oratorio WAS concerned with
the pointing Of moral truth.
History of the oratorio begins
when that type of musical per-
formance was introduced in Rome
