Ex-N. Y. A. Official
Criticizes Political
Use ofArtProjects
Orchestra Conductor Says
Agency Is Trying to
Impress Public

National Youth Administration
art projects, a former official of the
Federal agency charged here yester-
day, are being used as showcases
for political patronage" instead OF
providing benefits for young Ameri-
can artists.
The criticism came from Edwin
Macarthur, who until few weeks
ago was director of classical music
for the N. Y. A. in New York. He
will direct the National Symphony
Orchestra concert tomorrow night
in Constitution Hall at which Kir-
stem Flagstad will be soloist.
N. Y. A. projects could be used to
give thousands of young people ex-
perience they could get nowhere else,
Mr.. Macarthur pointed out. Instead.
they are aimed to impress the public
with what is being done by the
agency, he claimed.
Favors Helping U. S. Artists First
Taxpayers money should be spent
for education, not for political pur-
poses," the 30-year-old conductor
said.

sician the place an American artist

ly opposed to giving opportunities to
refugees over native musicians" He
said he left the N. Y. A. because of
difference over assisting foreign
artists.
Emphasizing that he did not wish
to detract from the skill of foreign
artists streaming to this country,
Mr.. Macarthur nevertheless stressed
that opportunity for American tai
ent is desperately needed.
Canadian concert managers forced
requirements of German songs with
Norwegian in concerts given there
by Nine. Flagstad, he said. In this
country he noticed no tide of feel
ing against Wagner or any other
composer. He would not permit any
discrimination in any case, he said.
Scouts Give Him Badge.
Two Eagle Boy Scouts yesterday
afternoon presented Mr.. Macarthur
with a Boy Scout music badge.

it on my rehearsal sweater" said

The Wilmington morning star., 1940-06-27

There is springing up in America a strong
sentiment among even some of the strong men
OF the nation to admit that HITLER is soon to
rule Europe and that this country's wisest
course is to seek his friendship on the chance
OF p%rofiting in trade when the war is over.
This is the spirit of defeatism and can lead
only to Americas subjugation, as surely as it
paved the way for H1rLER's victories in Europe.
Inc men preaching it are the true fifth col.
umn which menaces American security. They
may not realize what they are doing, and at
heart are probably as loyal as anyone, but they
are nevertheless laying the foundation of total.
1tarlanism in this land as it was laid in other
lands across the sea which now pay grim tri.
butte to Berlin.
They are, in fact, doing the same job which
CHAMBERLAIN did in England and DA1AD1ER in
France. There is in their doctrine the same
policy of appeasement that led to the cruel
decisions at Munich. 1t is too late now to point
out that ii CHAMBERLAIN and DALADIER had
turned to arms instead of to appeasing HITLER
so much OF Europe might not today be undel

CANAL DEFENSES

Although the War department has denied
that new mine fields have been laid at the
entrances Of the Panama canal, an article ap-
pearing in a New York newspaper announcing
new mine-laying activities there and the trans
fer of heavy railway artillery from the Pacific
to the Atlantic entrance is we'll calculated to
arouse a deeper sense of national danger, in
case of war, from inadequate defense of the
canal.
Inc mines already in the area may be salts.
factory, the heavy guns sufficient, to resist
naval attack upon the canal. Or there may be
secret reinforcement of both under way, the
revelation of which would be silly. In view of
the uncertainty of future moves by the dicta.
tors OF Europe, any provision the United States
might devise for the protection of the Panama
canal would /. justified. But it is doubtful if
land or sea defenses could be made strong
enough to cope with an attack.
What is needed is great air bases, as Mr..
ROOSEVELT told the congress in a recent mes.
sage, far beyond the canals entrances. to COM
bat and fight off attacking warplanes. This
is what makes acquisition of Dutch, French
and British possessions in this hemisphere SO
necessary. Or, if the time for acquisition has
passed, the right to establish war bases in
them.
Should this, too, be impossible, the United
States must turn to her sister republics in
South America and on the Caribbean, for the
privilege of creating defense establishments
from which air and naval armadas might be
launched in emergency. The other republics
OF the Americas have much to gain and nothing
to lose by granting this country such rights.
IN TACT their own security will depend upon
the measure of support they give the United
States in it's plans to save the Western Henri
sphere from the spoilers of Europe.

THE DEFENSE COMMITTEE

THE Wilmington defense committee, soon to
be appointed by Mayor COOPER and county
board Chairman ADDISON H. HEWLETT, will be
representative of the various activities of the
city and its environs. The personnel will be
chosen from practically every business interest
with ramifications here and, knowing the dis
erection and good judgment of the executives
upon whom the selection falls, will, it is safe
to say, include men best fitted for the difficult
task ahead.

out saying. 1t will include safeguards against
sabotage, a~lertness against fifth column ma
chinations, and investigation of the many COM
plants by neighbor against neighbor, which
will increase as the national emergency ad,
vances. 1t will also automatically become the
committees duty to plan for Wilmington's
wider participation in the national defense
program, with an eye open to possibilities of
joint service with other southern communities
in transportation, agriculture, shipping, train
ing of army and air recruits and the many
other activities to be undertaken for defense.
In effect, the committee will become not
only a defense group but a planning board as
well, tacitly committed, if not actually COM
missioned, to look out for Wilmington's best
interests in the trying days ahead. Thus, the
defense committee assumes much greater i'm
portance than is apparent at first glance.
Mr.. Hewlett and Mr.. COOPER will have rea.
son to be grateful that they have such large
and close acquaintanceship with the men of
affairs in Wilmington. and are able to weigh
the capabilities of them all, when thew make
their selections.

the Nazi heel. But it is not too late to see
that by allowing a similar doctrine to gain re-
cruits in this country We are preparing the
yay for the dictators to try for conquests on
this continent and indeed this entire hemi-
sphere. By whatever means the government
has at its command, it must be banned. Eu-
rope has proved that the only appeasement
HITLER understands is unconditional surrender.
The United States may face the future with
assurance of Independent survival if it's whole
thought is focused upon rearmament on so vast
a scale that the dictators will not dare an
attack. Once that is accomplished we may
treat with HITLER on equal terms. To treat
with him now would invite disaster.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-06-27
FRENCH GOLD

The whereabouts of that portion of the
French gold reserve that is not in this country
provides one of the major mysteries of the war.
It is obvious that France did not succeed in
getting all of it's gold to this country before
it's capitulation. There is only 81, 7OO,O 900, 900
of earmarked gold all told in this country, and
even if all of it were French gold-which it is
not-there would still be 81, 1000, 900, 900 or more
unaccounted for.
If this gold were sent out promptly to the
United States after the invasion last month,
it should have reached here before now. There
is a question whether any Substantial amount
was hurriedly shipped to London, for the in
tention of HITLER to attack and invade Eng
land was widely proclaimed a month ago.
It is virtually certain that a substantial
amount of French gold reached here a few
weeks ago. But what did the French do with
the rest of it? Is it still at Bordeaux or was
it shipped to Africa?
Indications are that Germany may be abk
to extract from France a very large sum in
gold and to obtain actual possession of the
metal.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-06-27

British Isles, the task will be a hard one be-
cause of Italy's avowed purpose to drive the
British out of the Mediterranean. This means
that Britain will have to maintain a strong
fleet in those waters and utilize any ships she
may get from the French fleet there as we'll.
With her own navy thus divided and rein
forced by French ships she otherwise might
be able to employ against a German blockade,
England will be hard pressed indeed to keep
a sea lane open for supplies from abroad.
That she is to have a hard time also in com.
batting German air strength is indicated by the
increasing fury of the raids HITLER has already
started and the damage his planes are wreak'
ing upon industrial plants upon which Eng.
land must depend for supplies for her fighting
forces.
