Beethoven, Apostle Of Democracy,
Respected by Arisiocrats

HI mself above the licenf on 3
thoughts and conversations which
inflsmed the life of the salon in
his day.
Beethoven's greatness and puri-
ty of thought is certainly reflected
in his works. In all Of the sonatas,
particularly those following the
Opus p, when the mature Bee
thoven Is so clearly evidenced,
there is loftiness so marked that
ii cannot be concealed. Fire, bril-
liancy and intensity of emotion
are not lacking. but above all is
the serene and noble soul of a
giant among men.
Even in as simple movement
as the Andante from the Fifth
Symphony. there is nobility and
power while in the last movement
We find the spirit of independence
in a marked degree.
Beethovens love letters. which
can be seen at the public library.
give sharp insight to the char
acter of the man. To read them
is TO be ennobled by his splendid
attitude Of the man.
Although Beethoven de-
tested war, he was AN admIrer
Of Napoleon until he sought
t. become a second Caesar.
In Is well known that he had
Napoleon In mind when he
wrote the "Eroica SYMPHONY"
The original manuscript still
bears the title "Bonaparfe,"
but when he heard Of the
coronation Of Napoleon he
tore off the dedication page
nj his .ymphony and scream
I'd He Ia only an ordinary
man.. In Its place he wrote
Heroic symphony composed
to commemorate the recolIeo-
ton of a great man"
Later when he heard of Ma.
poleon's Imprisonment on St
Helena, he thought Of the funeral
march IN his great symphony and
said. Seventeen years ago l COM
posed music for this tragedy"
Beethovens tendency toward
democracy was well known He
was not merely hsirbrained
revolutionary desiring 10 over
throw monarchy without putting
something substantial in its place
He strongly upheld unlimited lib-
trty and national Independence
He thought that every citizen
should take part in the govern
mtnt Of the state. II Wss his hope
thaf Bonaparts would bring about
universal suffrage IN France and
efts oiish human happiness
II Is true that Beethoven had
many wealthy and noble patrons.
In his relations with them ne
followed the customs Of the times
In dignified and courteous man.

"It includes all BundistS, Fascists

Communists. 1t also included all
the groups in the United States

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-President
Roosevelt, In the introduction to his
194c volume of his public papers
and addresses. says that the vast
majority of the American people
revised their opinions about neu-
trality last year when they came
to realize what a Hitler victory
would mean.
In another of his series of articles
for Golfers magazine, Mr.. Roose-
welt outlined the swift succession
of events starting in April, 1940
with the invasion Of Denmark and
Norway and said that they very
quickly served to bring home to all
of us a clearer realization of the
position of the United States in the
world of today"
The President reviewed the steps
taken by his administration to in
augurate and implement the de-
fense effort and said
by the fall of 1910 the twofold
purpose of arming ourselves to the
teeth and at the same time helping
Great Britain and other democracies
had become the aim of the vast
majority of the American people.
Demonstrated Courage.
"By that time it had been made
clear that Great Britain had the
courage and stamina to resist the
Nazi attack, with the assistance of
the limited war supplies which we
had been able to send her up to
then.
There was, however, a minority
Of the American people who were
opposed to these twin objectives.
Although they were minority, they
formed a very powerful group.
'They were powerful because they
had large funds at their disposal for
propaganda purposes. They were
powerful because they had the sup
port of some of the largest news
papers and newspaper chains in the
country. They we're powerful be-
cause they could command the serv-
Ices of a handful of United States
Senators who knew that they had
the power to f1libuster and who
were willing to use that power, If
necessary, to gain their ends"
The President wrote that the
group included defeatists who
preached that Hitler was invincible,
apeasers and some businessmen who
"urged that Americans could do
business with Hitler and could make
fat profits after the rest of the
world had been vanquished by Hit
ler's arms"

Scout, IS, Does A Man-Size job
Handling Traffic In Night Storm

rTyaking up his post among sagging
l. street-lighting poles and live
wires which were being torn down
by night storm, Roger Martin, Is
year-old Sea Scout, of Coffeyville,
Kansas, warned away pedestrians,
took charge of traffic and carried on
until police could relieve him of the
job.
j Young Martin had been attending
a Scout meeting and was bound for
home on his bicycle, bucking the vio-
lent wind and rain. Suddenly he saw
ahead of him the dim outlines of
light poles, leaning at sharp angles
over the street. He pulled his fash
light out of his rain-soaked pocket,
pressed the switch, and-came to a
sudden stop.
He stopped none too soon. Wires
from one pole were at about the
height of his head and only three
feet away. Even as he stood survey
ing the situation, the water-soaked
ground let the pole tip lower and
lower. 1t settled down until the wires
were only waist high.
Knowing that the men at a nearby
refinery were about to change shifts,
young Martin picked his way around
the wreckage, raced for home, and
there sent an SOS. to the electric
lighting company and the police.
Then he ran back and began warning
away pedestrians and traffic. He was
in constant danger from loosening

formed the cabinet his men do not
have sufficient equipment to take
any offensive action.
Further evidence Of a growing
breach in French leadership was
believed in London to be revealed
by radio message picked up
from Ankara, Turkey, in which
the pro-Nazi government Of man
dated Syria was said to have sent
an urgent message to Vichy ask
ing for reliable" troops.
The Ankara broadcast said
Syrian officials had told their
superiors the present military
force should be removed, and ''re-
liable" men sent in to face the
British.
The previously secret report on
General Weygand's opposition to
French war against Britain was
believed in London 10 explain the
failure Of British troops under
General Sir Archibald Wavell to
move against Syria.
Close to 100000 men under Cen
eral Wavell now are on the Syrian
border, but in the light of the
Viehy report, it is believed here.
London has rcfrained from taking
any action which would force
General Weygand 10 fight.
