"Chorale in E Major" by Louis Pot
ter, who also conducted it.
The Suite is a charming work
consisting of "Polonaise," "Arietta'
and "Psssacaglia,' fresh in it's
melodic themes and colorful in
mood. The rhythmic accent of the
"Polonaise" and in lesser degree of
the "Passacaglia" and the beautiful
lyric style of the "Arietta' were
played with distinctive effect by the
orchestra. THE Moldau" has be-
come one of the outstanding per-
formances of the National SYM
phony and yesterdays reading held
again the sympathetic intuition and
the Well-defined shadings which DR..
Kinder brings to its performance.
Mr.. Potter's arrangement of
Franck's "Chorale' was the prin-
cipal point of interest yesterday and
the popular conductor of the WASH
ington Chorale Society was given
a most hearty welcome on his en-
trance. The "Chorale" has themes Of
rich beauty. some of them of great
delicacy. which Mr.. Potter has pre-
served in the manner in which he
has chosen the orchestral instru-
ments for their expression. There
is a wide range of color and effect
in the many contrasting sections
and Mr.. Potter has retained their
organ character, duplicating, as far
as possible, the tonal quality of that
instrument in the orchestra. His
success was we'll expressed in the
reception which his work received

Thinks We're Wrong

Some Of the letters foisted on
readers Of this column arouse
the suspicion that maybe there
is such thing as too much
freedom"
It is offensive to me (and I've
heard others voice similar Senti-
mentS) to be led to believe that
there are actually elbow rubberS
who profess to believe some of
the noxious things they write
in letters to the Voice.
I wonder just what latitude
the newspapers should take in
rejecting some of these offer
ings. Just what they should do
in the way Of editing them to
make them more palatable.
Still, I suppose it is just as
well to know what moronic citi-
zens some Of us are-and to
wonder If you are, after all,
justified in the campaigning you
have been making for votes for

submit the following evi-
dence that leads me to believe
America is going communistic.
i. Many Of the articles and
letters I have read in the Amer
ican newspapers have been up
holding Communism, not only in
the U. S. but in Spain as well.
This may not be wholly in
territorial on the part of the
American press, nevertheless it
is what they have been doing.
2. No very great effort has
been exerted against the sub
versive forces in the U. S. that
are working to overthrow our
government outside the Amer
ican Legion, Dies Investigation
Committee, Department of JUS
tice, and some few individuals,
though the Russian agreement
has long been openly violated.
3. The attitude of indifference
and lack of interest many peo-
pie have in regard to the sub
versive forces that threaten our
government. By such an atti-
tude we are encouraging them.
We should be indignant, protest,
and resent such movements.
4. The idea that has been
conveyed to the American peo-
pie that the worst enemy to
democracy is naziSm and
fascism, while the truth is that
communism is the worst enemy.
The communistic movement
is more thoroughly organized in
the U. s. than either Of the
