Washington, Feb. 1S-lNS-The
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
Tee today formally approved Presi-
dent Roosevelt's lease-lend bill, thus
clearing the way for the Senate to
begin debate on the measure Mon
day. Previous to passage the com.
mittee defeated an effort to write
a provision in the bill to bar the
use Of American troops overseas.
Majority Leader Barley pre-
dicted passage by more than a
two to one vote probably by
March /.
Rejecting major amendments
proposed by Republican Leader
Wendell L. Willkie, the committee
also fatty turned down specific
proposals of Republicans adopting
a middle Of the road policy Of aid
ing England.
This action came as 1t was
learned that President Roosevelt
had assured Democratic and Re-
publican congressional leaders re-
Gently that hi intended to take
care adequately of American in
terests.
The Presidents plans, it is I'M
derstood, call for assurances from
the British government that, IN
case of German invasion and seiz-
ure OF England, British warships
would not fall into German hands,
but would sail for America.

Stradivari
Honoredin
Concert
Budapest String
Quartet Plays
AS One
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The Library OF congress Was
again the scene yesterday afternoon
of a concert honoring the memory
of the great violin maker, Antonio
Stradivari. The anniversary OBJ
servance is an annual affair spon-
sored by the Gertrude Clarke WhiC-
tall Foundation since the gift of
quintet of priceless instruments
from the masters hand was made
to the library by Mrs. Whittall. The
performers at yesterdays concert
were the members Of the Budapest
String Quartet who handle the
beautiful violins, viola and cello with
loving care and are ideally suited by
their musicianly qualities to bring
out their rare tonal qualities.
The world, during the lifetime and
ever since the death of Stradivari
in 1877, has been enriched by the
exquisite voices of his instruments
but seldom has he been remembered
by a concert in which they were
heard exclusively until the Whittall
Foundation was established This
annual event has become unique in
the musical season. 1t brings to the
consciousness of the public the
genius of man who labored all his
life that the world might hear a
perfect musical tone.
Just how perfect that tone in its
graduation from the violin to the
cello can be was fully realized in
the Tres Lent movement of the
Ravel Quartet, which formed the
second number of yesterdays pro-
gram Guided by that superior
musical sense which the Budapest
players have, the four instruments
were heard as one, the blending
being so fine that only single
voice, shaded from light to dark,
was in evidence.
This string quartet. by composer
who died 200 years exactly after
Stradivari, is in an impressionistic
mood with the delicate and subtle
indications that DebuSSy first
thought Of Even when long pas
sageS make use of the rather dry
and unresonating tone of the pizzi-
cato, it maintains its mysterious
color and its vague touches. The
Budapest members played 1t superb
ly, not only bringing out its poetry
but achieving a remarkable unity in
effect and tone.
Nearly so years after Stradiyari's
death, Joseph Haydn wrote his
Quartet in G Minor, Op. IA, No. 8"
which was programmed as the OPEN
ing number yesterday. Its serene
and transparent quality and its I'M
complicated character was excel
lently portrayed in the Budapest
foursome's playing while here again
the slow movement showed all that
the name of Stradivari stands for
in the matter of singing timbre OF
four instruments.
The concert concluded with the
we'll known Quartet in A Minor, OPP.
1872 by Beethoven although in the
printed program it was listed be-
tween the Haydn and the Ravel.
The reading of this quartet by group
is familiar, its broader and more
emotional content being equally at
tainable by them. The arrangement
of the program was felicitous CIV
ing a resume, as it were, Of the
quartet form by composers of DIFF
ferent periods and different ideas.
The attendance was not as large
as 1t might have been but the quail
ity OF the applause did not make
this noticeable.
