First, Rev. Benedict Gauronskas is quoted as stating that the pianist-composer who will be feat ured in the recital is a Commun- ist and his appearance in this city is being arranged by the Water bury Communist Party. If this quotation is correct, Father Gau- ronskas is very much mistaken.
 The afafir is being sponsored by the local branch of the Associa- ton of Lithuanian Workers, which is a national organization incor- porated in the State or New York. We wish to emphatically state that the organization is non- political and has no affliation with any political unit.
 Our organization is broad-mind- ed enough to not question Bace- vicius's sympathies, but appre- ciate his unusual talents as a musician. Particularly so, be- cause he is a Lithuanian and not a Russian as also was erroneously stated.
 When Bacevicius has been uni yersally acclaimed as an accom- plished artist, we fail to see why his appearance should be evolved into a shameless slander of char acter or political controversy and wish to let it go at that.
 We wish to state that we are only interested in acquaintinE ourselves with his talent and thus advance our cultural understand ing.

World War-to the crowded Central
High School Auditorium, to SOL
diers in uniform striving with citi-
zens to reach high G. TO faces
strained to a goal and dripping with
patriotic perspiration.
In some respects, Washington will
recopy the plan and program OF
those Capitalites of 1918. Many Of
| the songs will be the same and the
method of singing them will be un-
changed, but, on the whole, there
will be essential differences.
To begin with, the sings of the
last World War were sponsored by
the District of Columbia War
Camp Community Service Bureau
to increase the public feeling OF
patriotism. That on August 4 will
have a similar purpose, but 1t also
is designed to aid a war chest still
more than $4,000 short of its local
goal.
At the bygone sings, music was
furnished by community orches-
ira. Songs on Monday evening OF
next week will be preceded by a
regular concert of the National
Symphony Orchestra and will be
accompanied by its music, the first
time that a full symphony orches-
ira has played in conjunction with
a community sing.
Two thousand persons crowded
into the auditorium of Central High
School at o'clock Sunday after
moons of 1918 to participate in the
| sings 1t is estimated 10000 will as
semble at the Water Gate at $50
pm. next Monday.
AS the mellow tenor of the
favorites swells up-"Long, Long
Trail" Just Song at Twilight,
over There" The Great Red
/ Dawn" and others-there will be
mental pictures of Dr.. Hamlin
Cogswell, music director of the Dis
trict public schools, as he directed
the singing nearly quarter GEN.
tury ago. In the memories of those
who can recall, Kenneth Clark, song
leader of the 10Th Division at Camp
Meade, Md, will vie with Gilbert
Wilson, song leader at Quantico, Va
The Y. NJ. c. A. Glee Club ant
the 75-member glee club from Camr
Meade will be there in these recol.
lections. A pipe organ recital by
William Stansfeld, accompanied
by the Washington College of Music
Orchestra, may take place again il
reflection. The "Marseillaise" may b.
sung in French.
The clearest memories will q
still further. They will relive tn,
discomfort of the hot, crowded
school auditorium. They will SCI
men. women, children and soldier
jammed together as they sang.
None of this discomfort will mari
next weeks event. The cool breeze
which follow the Potomac will far

hospital. When people who have
lost nearly everything-kndred,
home, savings-can be encountered
on every side, few who have suffered
less care to complain.
All Expect to Be Poor.
Nearly every one in Britain ex-
poets to be poor after the war.
I'VE shall all be poor together" ;"
they say. 1t is hard to see how
any rich can survive Walter M.
Wills, the Bristol tobacco manu-
facturer, died January 26, leaving
an estate of f4,317,360; of this the
death duties took f2,815, ,284, and
taxation will consume most OF the
remaining income. 1t is practically
impossible for even the richest
Briton nowadays to have an in
come of more than $1,000 (s20,000)
a year.
Great Britain. in brief, is in a
state of profound and far-reaching
upheaval. Carrying the heaviest
war burden of her history, she has
had to reorganiZe her national life
in the most dramatic fashion. From
top to bottom society is being trans
formed The best evidence of the
fine quality of British civilization
is the fact that this social and
economic reorganization is being
carried through with more than
Spartan fortitude-with Self-Sacri-
ficlng cheerfulness. We may we'll
use the term magnificent for the
courage of the British cities in
withstanding the bombers; for the
valor of the r. A. F. in turning the
battle of Britain into the battle
Of Germany; for the heroic con-
stancy of the seamen who go out
month after month to face the
submarines. But there is some
thing finer in the patient endurance
of the plain people of the islands,
laboring fiercely and suffering ter
rible losses, as they see their old
ways of life. their familiar society
and well-tested economy, completely
altered. The old Britain is dying,
and new Britain is being born.
They know that it is inescapab BILE
and they hope that it will be better

South American Pacts
Seen by We||es as
Curb on Japan
Arrangements May Block
VitoI Materials From
Nippon, He Declares

Acting Secretary of State Sumner
Welles indicated today belief that
arrangements for preclusive buying
by the United States of strategic
materials from many Latin Ameri-
can countries and the general policy
of Inter-American cooperation for
hemisphere defense would act to
prevent Japan from obtaining from
South America materials she cannot
obtain elsewhere under trade re-
strictions imposed by this country,
Britain and the Netherlands.
Mr.. Welles also indicated that the
United States, Great Britain and the
Netherlands could be expected to
continue taking parallel action to
counter threatening moves by Japan
in the South Pacific.
In response to questions, the Act
ing Secretary said there was no
definite agreement as such with
other American republics to cut of
supplies to Japan.
Arguments Pointed Out.
He pointed out. however, that the
United States has entered into
agreements for buying practically
all available production of certain
strategic goods from several Latin
American nations. Other agree
ments, he said, prohibit re-export
from other American nations of
strategic materials they might pur-
chase here
Asked if this Government might
seek arrangements to prevent
Venezuela and other South Amer
ican oil producing countries from
selling oil to Japan, Mr.. Welles said
each of the other sovereign Amer
lean republics naturally decides for
itself what measures it might be
necessary to take for purposes of
hemisphere defense. He emphasized
he did not wish to be understood as
urging what they should do.
Cites Developments.
Mr.. WelleS was asked at a press
conference if there was any under
standing with Great Britain as to
what each nation would do if the
Interests of either were directly
threatened in the South Pacific.
Without replying directly, he said
he believed developments over the
last few months covered that ques-
ton. He pointed out that this Gov
eminent and other nations with in
terests in the South Pacific have
been taking what might be called
parallel courses in that area.
The latest example of this parallel
action is the freezing of japanese
assets by the United States, Britain
and the Netherlands and abrogation
OF an agreement under which Japan
was to get 100000 tons of oil an
nually from the Netherland Indies.
