Vision Pierced Future.
In his art his vision pierced the
future and he endured the mis-
understanding of his contemporaries,
secure in the knowledge that time
would bring understanding. His
work progressed during his lifetime
in a crescendo of power until he
had produced the text and music of
the Ring" the greatest example of
co-ordinated elements that the mus
ical world has known. Whatever
was questionable in his character,
his disregard of others, his insouci-
ant attitude in financial affairs, his
careless sacrifice of the feelings of
the husbands of women he loved,
his egotism and his sybaritic love
of luxury pales and becomes of little
consequence beside the tremendous,
the noble and uplifting works he left
as legacy to posterity.
Now. Sc years this past February
Is since his death, the wonder of his
genius still amazes. And beneath
the cloud of reprehensive incidents

his life was hidden the soul of a

intimately understanding the spirit

tributions of the students them
selves that the Armstrong School,
an institution for colored pupils,
was enabled to avail itself Of The
Stars music offer, according to
Mrs. Estelle p. Webster, music
teacher at the school.
The pupils we're told about the
campaign and invited to contribute
to a fund to obtain the recordings
for the school. They responded
Immediately with pennies. nickels
and dimes, and their contributions
totaled more than $24. To this
fund the teachers then added
enough to enable the school to
purchase q complete set Of the de
luxe recordings. as well as de
luxe record player.
1t was Mrs. Ethel Jewell. English
instructor at Armstrong. who first
suggested to G.. David Houston, the
principal, that the school join in
the campaign by obtaining the rec
ords. Mr.. Houston then authorized
the teachers to work out q plan
for raising the money.

He informed Secretary of State

Canada Won't Decide
lis Wartime Policy
In Advance
Dominion to Reserve
Freedom Of Action,
Premier Declares

OTTAWA, March 81 canadian
Press .-Canada's official position in
the face of Europe's recurring crisis
is that she reserves the right for
her Parliament to determine her
course if war comes to Europe. but
that any aggression against Great
Britain would constitute menace
to the entire British Commonwealth,
of which Canada is member.
The Dominion's stand was stated
by Prime Minister w. l.. Mackenzie
King in a full-dress foreign affairs
debate in Parliament yesterday.
Il cannot accept the view that,
regardless of what the issue may be.
this country should say here and
now that Canada is prepared to sup
port whatever may be proposed by
the government at Westminster
the Liberal prime minister said.
Attack Menace to All.
He declared, however, that Can
ada had reason to feel that an act
of an aggressor, aimed at the de-
struction of Britain, would consti-
tute a menace to the freedom Of
every nation of the British Com
monwealth"
He said concern for Britain's se-
curity was "a deep-felt and power
fui factor in the shaping of Cana
dian policy but discouraged any
who would have Canada decide by
law now whether or not Canada
would declare war or remain neu-
trail if England were involved in
conflict.
In addition. Mr.. Mackenzie King
promised that so long as this gov
ernment may be in power" con-
scription will never be introduced
to send an army overseas.
Conscription Held Inevitable.
Changed conditions brought about
by new inventions made it probable,
the Prime Minister said. that no
expeditionary forces would 20
abroad as they did in the World
War.
The Prime Minister'S foreign pol
icy statement was made to q crowd
ed house, with many diplomats in
the galleries.
The Conservative opposition lead
er, DR.. Robert j Manion, in debate
following the Prime Minister'S
speech, declared that conscription
would be inevitable in war time. and
urged compromise policy between
full neutrality and full participa-
ton in any war involving Britain,
Dr. Manion asserted failure to
reach such a compromise would re-
suit in civil war, adding that 1T is
impossible for Canada to remain
neutral and remain within the en-
pire."

Conservative Bow of
Garner Will Bring
Its Repercussions

WASHIN GT0N John
Nance Garner apparently in
tends to make his bow to presi-
dental politics under extreme
ly conservative auspices. In
deed, his strategy of going
after the safe and sound
voters of both major parties
and all classes has disconcert-
ed supporters who believe that
he should WOO the liberals, too.
Week ago Senator Tom Connally
of Texas slipped up to New York
and asked Al Smith to preside at
a January dinner in Dallas mark
ing the vice presidents formal
entry into the 1910 contest. Smith,
however. declined to serve as key
noter for his 1928 running mate
on the ground that it was too early
to declare for any candidate. AS
in 1856, when he supported ALI
Landon, the brown derby hero
wants to preserve the utmost free
dom of action until the last min
ute.
The Gafner-Connally attempted
coup impresses veteran observers
as a near-blunder. A tieup with
Al might mean the permanent
alienation of two such powerful
figures as President Roosevelt and
National Chairman Farley. who
have scant cause to feel kindly
toward Smith. But the Garner
people seem to feel that they have
lost extreme liberals and must ap-
