I'D sacrifice everything. 1"
Those words are echoed by prac-
tically every Young American.
Charlotte Welsh. an army wife
at Fort Sam Houston, Texas,
says the same thing In a much
longer. more elaborate letter.
Here are q few telling sentences.
Our generation grew up with
q cynical and bitter attitude
toward the participation Of our
fathers In World WaFI. We be-
neved that their lives were
needlessly and fooilshly sacri-
feed In the interests of poll
ticians and financiers and num-
tons makers.
But we know better now. We
know that liberty and democracy
are TO be won only through sac
rtfice. and can be kept only by
more sacrifice. Americas folly
lay not In participation In that
wAr--it lay In her neglect of hu-
manity after the war.
we are not 90 naive as 10 be-
heve that our way Of life il per-
feet. but We do believe Il IL the
best possible environment In
which we and our children may
live and strive for the true goal
Of democracy. Therefore we are
willing 10 fight for America
for better America and for q
better world.
Each or Us must answer the
question: What sacrifices would
you make?' In his own way.
Here's mine:
When and II my husband,
who In an army officer. is called
away. ] win be brave. IL bombers
come In the night and I shelter
my little boys body with my
own, I will be strong. When

termination will not falter In
the face Of reality.

Limit Their
Recital Lists
Eddy and Crooks
To Curtail Their
Engagements

The first two Sundays in April
will bring to Constitution Hall the
last two major recitals of the cur
rent music season-that of Nelson
Eddy, easily Americas most popular
baritone, on Sunday afternoon, April
s. and that of Richard Crooks, tenor
of the Metropolitan Opera AsSocia-
ton. on Easter Sunday, April l3
Both recitals will begin at pm,
and both will be under the auspices
of Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey.
Incidentally, Mr.. Eddy's recital in
Washington next Sunday afternoon
will be his last in this city for two
seasons at the earliest. Each year
Mr.. Eddy declines more engage
ments than he accepts, and after
five consecutive seasons of recitals
in the Capital he believes that other
communities which have not yet
heard him in recital should be in
cluded in his 1941-42 tour. Hence
no Eddy recital in Washington next
season.
Richard Crooks recital in WASH
ington on Easter Sunday afternoon
will be his first and only appearance
of the season, his morning musical
engagement here having been can
celed through illness. 1t is also au-
thoritatively stated that Mr.. Crooks
will make no recital appearance in
Washington next season, though he
is announced as soloist with the
National Symphony Orchestra.

Review of Recordings

form the eliminating point of the
collection
A great deal of ceremony was
attached to the making and the
presentation of a special recording
of THE Star Spangled Banner" and
of America on a single 12-inch
record, now released to the public
by Victor. The company was care
full in making the recording appear
100 per cent American.
The singer singled out because of
her forebearers is Lucy Monroe,
belonging to the family which set
tied in America in 1910 and whose
most distinguished member was
President James Monroe. The Or
cheStra is the National Symphony,
under Charles O'Connell a native
American; the recording was made
at Constitution Hall. the national
shrine Of music and headquarters
of the D. A. R, thus completing
the cycle in keeping with the new
American music consciousness.
The first copy of this issue was
presented to President Roosevelt at
the White House through the Offices
of Brig. Gen. Watson, who received
it from Miss Monroe and Mr.. OCon-
nell in specially constructed ma
hogany case, the lining of which
was studded with gold stars.
Since the detail of Miss Monroes
ancestry is specially stressed and
proceeds the Importance of a richer
and more beautiful voice the mere
sound of which could fire patriotic
sentiments, it would be out of place
to comment upon Miss Monroes
singing. The National Symphony,
under Charles O'Connell, gives a
sonorous and a dignified background
to both anthems.

A timely release by Victor OF
Medieval and Renaissance Choral
Music" brings us closer to the Easter
season and impresses its significance
upon our minds. This album is the
result of an untiring effort toward
the preservation and perpetuatlon
of the Gregorian chant which IS
taught at the Manhattanville College
of the Sacred Heart in New York.
The recording was made presum-
ably by a group of music students
of that school who sing cappella

Hymns and parts of the mass,

are arranged in progressive order
with the objective to draw attention
to the development of harmonic
structure. In the early examples,
the chanting is in unison, growing
by degrees into part singing, at first
with the aid of the organ, playing
the second voice, and later with the
second and other parts being taken
up by voices. A sameneSS runs
through the entire set due to the
slow tempo and the key signature,

an exception. There are two special

to be done in his new position he
says:
by helping to solve problems of
musical exchange we hope to accel-

both classical and popular, of our
neighbors to the south and likewise
the interest of the Latin Americans

Inter-American Plan.
The plan of the National Music
Week Committee to dedicate one
day to an inter- American celebra-
ton has received wide Endorsement.
In fact, the idea has appealed so
greatly, especially to our Latin
American neighbors. that it is
thought one day will not be suf-
ficient and that more time will be
given for the programs featuring
Latin American music of various
kinds.
In letter to C. M. Tremaine,
secretary of the National Music
Week Committee, President Roose-
welt writes: The decision of your
committee to set aside one day of
the National Music Week as Inter-
American Music Day is indeed
gratifying to those of us who have
been so keenly interested in bring
ing about a deeper understanding
between the people of the Americas.
I believe that Inter-American Music
Day will make a real contribution
toward this end and encourage the
study of the hemisphere's rich and
varied cultural heritage in the field
of music. In so doing you are
serving the cause and ideals of
democracy throughout the Americas

have also written letters of high
Endorsement. This general en-
thusiasm, which the musicians of
the different countries share, will
warrant the full weeks dedication
to this great work, for as Mr.. Tre-
maine says. Music is the one COM
mon language through which We
can best express and best advance
our common aspirations and pro-
mote the spirit of amity."
