Former Labor Union Official in
Central Europe
Europe's "sore spots SITS minori-
ties-are an everlasting nightmare for
the European which it is hard for the
average American to understand No
perfect solution will ever be found for
the problem of minorities, but we can
learn many lessons from methods
used in the past and the present, and
from schemes suggested for the flu
ture.
The transfer of populations is one
way of solving the minority question.
One of the most useful steps taken
in the postwar years was the ex-
change in 1923 of 100000 Greeks liv-
ing in Asia Minor for 355,000 Turks
living in Greece. The reason this
move was success is that it was
done with the consent Of the people
moved.
Hitler, on the other hand, is using
the same technique but is bringing
nothing but misery to the people in
volved. He is uprooting men and
women from the communities in
which they want to live and shepherd
ing them in cattle wagons to unin-
habitable regions or else throwing
them in concentration camps.
Cultural autonomy is another and
less drastic way Of trying to resolve
the issue Of minorities. In 1926,
Esthonia passed a law allowing citi-
zens to register in national groups of
over $1,000 These groups we're to
elect cultural councils which were
given the right to run schools, libra
ries, theaters, ETC., to raise taxes and
to receive and administer-state ap-
preparations.

the Jewish minority Of 4,500 took ad-

to experts developed it with brilliant
success" up to the advent Of nazi
propaganda.
A correction of frontiers to shift
minorities from one country to an
other has been tried throughout his
tory in times both of peace and war.
One of the most recent examples is
the treaty Of Belvedere Castle in vi
emma, by which Hitler forced Rumania
to hand over part of Pennsylvania to
Hungary. Judging by the present
unrest in Rumania, this adjustment
has proved far from perfect
Whatever the future has in store,
it is evident that either by methods
already tried or new ones to be put
into practice, some way must be found
to heal Europe's sore spots.

In relation to new plans it is i'm
portant to note the recent joint dec
laration of the Polish and Czech gov
ernments in exile in which they state
that as independent and sovereign
states" they will enter into "closer
political and economic association"
after the war. This announcement
suggests the formation of a regional
bloc which would emphasize a geo.
graphic as well as a national point OF
view. Such development would go
far toward solving the puzzle of Eu-
ropes minorities.

Beecham
TOCOnduct
Tuesday
Philadelphia Group
To Feature Haydn
And Mozart Music

The announcement that Sir
Thomas Beecham would conduct
group of operas this season at the
Metropolitan Opera has increased
interest in his appearance here
Tuesday evening with the Philadel-
phia Orchestra at Constitution Hall.
Besides leading the music OF Haydn
and Mozart, whose works he will
conduct later in the year at the
Metropolitan, Sir Thomas has pro-
grammed for the orcheStra's second
Washington concert of the season, a
first performance anywhere -
that of the piano ccncerto-by
Courtlandt Palmer with the COM
poser at the piano. This is the first
work to be heard from the New York
composer since his return to Amer
lea after spending the last 18 years
abroad
Sir Thomas has led the Philadel-
phia Orchestra as guest in two pre-
VlouS seasons. In January, 1928,
(When he made a dramatic entry in
wheel chair, he conducted con-
certS in Philadelphia, Washington
and Baltimore and in Philadelphia
and New York in 1886.
In private life a man of immense
means, Sir Thomas began his pro-
fesSional career in 1902 as conductor
OF a touring opera troupe Since
then he has devoted his energies
to shock or ridicule audiences out
of their comfortable musical lethar-
gies. His own boundless energy,
coupled with his large financial re-
sources, have been devoted to the
establishment of symphony and
opera as an integral function in
national life. This year he is ad-
ministering his characteristic tonic
to the symphony of Seattle, Wash,
of which he has become conductor.
Besides the Haydn Symphony
No. SO in D Major" and the Mozart
Symphony No. Al in C Major" (the
"Jupiter"), the English conductor
also has programmed Rossini's over
ture to La Gazza Ladra."

as No. 2 and rewritten by the COM
poser 10 years after its first per-

him, it constitutes a suite of musical

Scherzo and Finale" played without

of the day, prevalent with us once
again, which discourages applause
in between the movements, Schu-
mann enhanced the continuity and
the compactness of this symphony
by using theme of one movement

generous nature as well as of his
skill as composer. Ingenious because
of masterful manipulation of the
two instruments. so closely knit to-
gether that an accompanying me-
dium is unnecessary, this suite rep

from Mozart's pen. Needless to

Exhibition in ImproutSed
Gallery.
During National Art Week, artist
employees of the Library of Congress
set up a first annual eXhloltlon
of their works in an improvlsed
gallery directly opposite the lower
main entrance. but at the rear:
Twenty-eight works were included
in this showing by 10 employees,
three of whom came from the d.
vision of Fine Arts, others, severally,
from the law library. reading room,
Division of Documents, rare book
room and photoduplication service.
There were paintings, etchlngs,
block prints, pastels and pencil
drawings, all of which showed great
sincerity, and not few considerable
talent.
Carl Barnes exhibited four engaging
block prints; from Hirst Milhollen
came the same number of attractive
etchings. souvenirs of a Mexican
trip. Ruth Osgood, who is member
of the Washington Water Color Cluo
and regularly exhibits with 1t, set
forth a seascape in water colors and
two excellent portrait drawings. one
in charcoal and the other done with
a dry brush. Two charming portrait
sketches in pencil were contributed
bv Vsevolod L. Skitsky. Richard
Hawes and Walter Sanborn each
showed groups of water colors, land
scapes and marines, which, IN each
instance, possessed certain promising
and engaging qualities.
The artists profession, like that OF
the writer's, is, to an extent, solitary,
in contradiction to that Of the musl-
clan: therefore, it is more important
that occasionally they should get
together, as in this instance, and
match strength with strength, as
well as exchange viewpoints.
