The two final Allegro movements

although the effects attained could
be appreciated for their thought

ton OF the Love Music, however,
was not forthcoming and the entire
performance of it was wanting in
the anticipated climaxes.
The only departure from the
standard works which the program
offered was Henry 'Cowell's "An-

writer an atmospheric work that
has peculiar vitality. 1t brings
to the fore the very fine woodwinds
of the All American Youth Or

lar seeking for finely spun effects,

Orchestra plays as the opening
number of Disney's Fantasia" In
Stokowski's version, it becomes a
marvellous rush of sound, the So
nority of which was equaled in the
All American Youth Orchestra's
performance. If, unwillingly, the
minds eye recreated the changing
colors, the darting bow tips and
the geometrical figures that Dis
ney has conjured up, this Is but
the result of trying to visualize
music in such terms. 1t remains,
however, as a monument to Sto-
kowski's genius, both as an inter-
prefer and as an arranger.
A large audience gave unstinted
evidence Of its enjoyment of the
performance, with special applause
following Stokowskis short speech
before the intermission when he
thanked those present for their
support Of this patriotic" venture.

INVASION OF 4. =.
HELD FANTASTIC

Conservative factions IN the
state. war and navy departments
are minimizing the possibility of
any successful invasion OF the

must be reported off the record
because the president. Secretary
Hull. Secretary Stimson and
Secretary Knox, for reasons of
their own. have warned US that

Our military experts point out
that the countries which Hitler
has conquered. from Norway TO
Greece. could be dropped into the
two states of Texas and Louisi-

considers the problems Of trans
portation and supply. is rather
comforting. II casts some doubt

Besides forgetting the exist

which separate US from potential
enemies TO the east or west. The
fact is that the pro-war chorus

has been urged-and sdvised-to
play down these safety factors.

Editor. The Times: We must
decide whether TO sacrifice the
lives Of some Of our seamen.
That is what conveying would
mean.
Our choice is between the GER
tain loss of some lives now, in
the interest of national safety
and a shortened war-and the
heavy risk of a much greater
loss of life later on, should fail
ure to convoy spell British de-
feat. Britain cannot defend her
self with torpedoed munitions.
Few will contend that a VIC
torious Hitler would allow us to
remain at peace.
American lives are being sac
rificed for national defense even
now. Deaths from industrial
accidents. normally numbering
thousands, have substantially in
creased cue TO the sudden squirt
In arms production.
Lives thus lost in making mu-
nitions later sunk by German
submarines, may be considered
wasted. This waste should be
balanced against the loss of life
anticipated from conveying.
II conveying means war. we
must be mature enough to wage
q limited war. No matter how
poignant the British appeal. nor
how subtle the insinuation that
America is ready to fight Hit
Ter to the last Englishman," we
must grmly adhere To our de-
termination not to send a con-
script army outside this henri
sphere.
Above all. We should insist
upon a genuine peace offensive"
at the earliest appropriate mo-
ment-perhaps next winter. if
the Nazi machine is stalled by
that time. The instant they
show signs of readiness. we must
give the German people an op-
portunity TO renounce Hitlerism
In favor Of "a new world order"
a democratic, not slave order.
We must offer a new set OF
Fourteen Points. And this time
We must ourselves join the the
new order, to ensure that these
Points viii be lived up TO and
that the old disorder shall never
menace US again.
