filling a return engagement since
the first of the year. when they ap-
peared under the same auspices.
The high lights of the evening
were Mr.. Barati's cello numbers,
which gave every evidence of his
professional outlook upon art COM
bined with earnest demands upon
himself. Excellently taught. Mr.
Barati has style and finish. 1t is a
pleasure to watch his perfect CO.
ordination of bow-arm. which can
boast of a loveliest legato. 1t was
especially resplendent in Bachs
"Preludium From the Third Suite
for cello, unaccompanied. and in
Nina" by Pergolese. In the latter
his tone was warmer and fuller than
in Boccherini's "Adagio and Al
legro," which opened his first group
The performance of Boccherini's s
numbers accentuated rather too
great a daintiness in Mr.. Baratis
treatment of the cello, which is not

sorority and volume However,
after having attained purity of
intonation and as exquisite a tone
quality as demonstrated, Mr.. Ba-
rati's greater concentration upon
power and sweep may place him
eventually among the ranking pro-
fessionals. His rendition of Cas-
sado's "Rigiuebros, followed by
Goens' "Scherzo," brought demands
for an encore which Mr.. Barati
satisfied by playing Schubert's ave
Maria"
Two sacred selections by Bach,
Grant Me True Courage, Lord" and
"Jesu. Joy of Mans Desiring"
served as a prelude to other offer
ings by the choral groups, includ-
ing those for mixed chorus and in
dividual ones for men and women.
OF the two Bach numbers, the first
had more precision Of attack and
more finish, the latter lacking CO.
ordination between voice and piano.

Convenience VS.. Real Preparedness

It still is not polite to say so in political circles
but the sole reason for present national defense
by Germany alone by coalition of European and
Asiatic powers. That threat may materialize;

and we preparing to train the necessary

from two to seven years, and we cannot expect any
aggressor to wait for to become prepared. We have
plenty of work to do and do in hurry.
The theory of this ackadaisical procedure first
light about the time that Mr. Hitler slapping the
ears off the Czechs We cursed nasty Adolf bitterly,
then passed neutrality law which guaranteed that we
would not interfere with his assaults humanity.
Finally amended that law, but in no way that it

the remnants of those naves facing possible destruc

may no longer be friendly power in the Atlantic.
The opportunity to stop Hitler in Europe is gone.

stop any aggressor who dreams OF coming over here.

the unions which jealousy control such labor been

Busybody Decides Irs
Improper Classification

Having been classified as mari
time workers. these employees were
able to work as many hours a day
or a week as they desired. They
had union contract with the COM
pany to that effect. It is q matter
Of record that the employees did
work sometimes twelve hours day
and seven days a week-and they
were reaping the harvest of busy
times because the demand for their
product was extraordinary while the
government building program was
continuing. The workers had no
quarrel with their employer, yet
they went on strike.
Why? Some busybody in the wage
hour administration decided that the
workers Of the Smoot Sand & Grav-
81 company were improperly CLASH
fed. They were not maritime work
ers-not entitled to work all of the
time they desired-and they had to
be reclassifed. The result was that
most Of the workers found them
selves restricted to a hours per
week. The net effect Of this, Of
course. was to cut their wages, and
the men had no laundering for that.

conclusion is not yet in sight It
