Hiqh School Students Hear
Stars Sixth Opera Broadcast
Dr.. Burnes Describes Third and Last
Of Verdi's Works to Be Presented

Thousands of Junior and senior
high school students enjoyed an
other half-hour of operate music
before leaving their classroom yes
terday afternoon as The Star pre-
sented the sixth in "a series of spe-
cial broadcasts arranged IN CO.
operation with the current opera
appreciation program.
For the third time in this series.
the music for the broadcast was
taken from a work of the great
italian operatic composer, Giuseppe
Verdi. Excerpts from 'Traviata"
were played for the students by
means of the recordings now being
made available in The Stars cam
paign. This opera is the eighth
offering Of the campaign.
On previous broadcasts the stu
dents have heard excerpts from
"Rigoletto" and Aida" two other
operas by the italian master, which
also are included in The Stars
SERIES.
AASt VI tCTui OPCTASs
DR.. Edwin N. C. Barnes, head
of the music department in the
Districts white schools, who con-
ducts these school brosdcasts, told
the students yesterday that he
would like to have added another
Verdi opera to the series. In OPEN
ing the broadcast, he said:
Here we are back with our old
friend Verdi, but I am sorry TO tell
you his is the last opea by the
great italian master in this series.
Personally, I would like to have in
cluded in these broadcasts that
superbly melodious and dramatic
work, Tovatore'"
Giving another of his interesting
and Informative talks on opera and
composers in general and 'Traviata"
and Verdi in particular, DR.. Barnes
told his listeners that "Traviata. ("
when compared with the massive
splendor of Verdi's Aida" or Wag-
ner's "Tannhauser'-"is like a bit
of rare fllmy'lace on beautiful gar
ment"
But "Traviata" is packed with
tuneful music and has some of the
finest arias for soprano in operatic
music, he said. Pointing out that
the two arias, 'The One of Whom
I Dreamed" and THE Round of
Pleasure"-are sung by every gifted
soprano who has a voice capable
of interpreting them adequately, he
explained "Traviata" is often q
"test" opera for new sopranos.
Tells Of First Performance.
DR.. Barnes also told the story Of
the unsuccessful first performance
of this opera in Venice in 1853.
"It is said that when, in the last
act, the doctor announces that. VIC.
letta had but few days to live. the
whole audience broke into roars Of
laughter The cause of this hilarity
was that Nine Donatelli, who took
the part of the sickly Violetta, was

mans apparently crushed to the
ground.
"I never expected another Euro
pean war-but today there is war
Similarly, conflict between the
United States and Japan merely
would begin a chain of wars. I,
personally, know no issue between
them impossible of solution"
Admiral Nomura said Japanese
are more concerned with peace in
China than any one else. He ex-
planned:
For military reasons blockade
and restrictions of business are
necessary, and businessmen of all
nations suffer. That applies to
Japanese traders along with the
others. What we want is peace in
China, then free and equal trade
between China and all the rest
of the world.
when that comes-and it may
come soon-the facts will speak
for themselves, and this particular
problem between Japan and the
United States viii disappear auto
matically."
Exclusion Impossible, He Says.
He scoffed at the suggestion that
Japans program of expansion would
mean exclusion of American busi-
ness interests from the Orient.
"In the first place." he said, ait
is impossible; and in the second,
it is not being considered.
Economic facts can't be over
ridden that way. Japan, China,
the East Indies and all Oriental
nations must continue free, unre-
stricted intercourse with other
countries. Otherwise, they would
stagnate. Where would Japan be
today had its historic policy Of
tight seclusion continued"
| The newspaper Asahi, in an edi-
torial on Nomura's selection, listed
as difficulties confronting the new
ambassador what it termed to be
the American belief that the Rome
Berlin-Tokio alliance was aimed
against the United States, and
Japanese resentment over Ameri-
can interference" in the Far East.
Japanese interpreted Admiral
Nomura's. selection as an effort to
smooth relations between Japan and
the United States.
He has been considered one of the
most ..pro- American" of Japanese
leaders. He knows the United States
from his service as naval attache in
Washington and as technical adviser
to the japanese delegation at the
Naval and Far Eastern Conference
of 1922 at Washington.
He was foreign minister in the
short lived cabinet of Gen. Nobuyuki
Abe in 1899. His appointment then
was interpreted as move to improve
relations between Japan and the
United States just after the United
States abrogated the 28-year -old
commercial treaty with Japan.
Admiral Nomura,, who will be 63
next month, spent 40 years in Japan's S
Navy. He always has denied political
talents or ambitions, sticking to his
role Of blum, plain-spoken sea dog.
He speaks English well. Likes . joke,
laughs freely.

TOXIC, Nov, 26.-Admiral Kichis-
aburo Nomura, who expects to leave

Japan's new Ambassador to the
United States, declared today there
is no issue between Japan and the
United States which cannot be
solved without recourse to war.
Official announcement of his ap-

ing Kensuke Horinouchi, who was
called home from Washington last
September, was withheld. Because
of this, Admiral Nomura said, he
has not conferred yet with the cabi-

or in the Pacific, civilization will GO
up in flames. - There are few
If any-Japanese who want war with
the United States. What is impor-
tant is how to prevent the situation
from reaching its worst stage"
The admiral declared he was
neither pessimistic nor optimistic
about the possibilities of improving
relations between his government
and Washington, where he served
in World War days as japanese
Naval Attache.
Those relations, he added, "appar-
emily depend largely on Japan's con-
tinental and South Seas policies"
Sees Embargo as Dangerous.

United States embargo on Japan as

''If the United States refuses to

said, I'VE must get them elsewhere. u

African Farmers Token Taxes

Clay slab tokens have been de-
vised by native farmers near Bronx
horstspruit, South Africa, to help
them pay their taxes. Because cash
Is required, the natives have dis
continued barter methods. They
take their corn to central ex-
change where they receive as re-
ceipts clay slabs bearing a secret
mark. These tokens enable them
to obtain cash advances. Buyers
present the slabs at the central ex-
change to obtain corn as needed and
sell directly to consumers at good
profit. If the buyers do not advance
cash they give the natives eggs or
any other readily marketable COM
modify in exchange for the tokens.
The secret mark prevents forgeries.
