songs in English, she confined her
choice to the works Of but three
composers, Brahms, Grieg and Hugo
Wolf. But 1t was singing that is
heard but rarely in lifetime and
artistry that encompasses the full
dimension of vocal Interpretation.
Nine Flagstad improves the type
of programs she gives each year.
That she did not include one num-
ber for its sure-tlre appeal or an
aria which would have dazzled her
listeners with the opulence and
brilliancy of her voice, shows how
serious is her artistic attention. 1t
shows also that she understands the
musical capacity of her audience
and that it is not impossible to lis
ten through an entire program to
lovely, simple songs If the singer has
the beauty of voice and the art of
presenting them which Nine. Flag
stad has.
or course, the songs heard last
evening are by no means simple yet
they appeared to be so from the
tender, intimate way in which Nine.
Flagstad sang them. Nearly all were
the less familiar of the three COM
posers' output and therefore likely
to be passed over by less discern
ing singer But she has contributed
considerably to the value of this
musical season by making these
songs known.
For instance. she gave, by request,
the song cycle "Haugtussa, by Ed
ward Grieg. consisting of eight num-
bers without pause. This lovely
group is a stranger to recital pro-
grams and the opportunity to hear
1t was a welcome one. The chang

Eric the Red, Viking adventurer,

colonists. He returned in 986,
founded colonies. Soon there were
5000 settlers on the island.
For 400 years the colonies re-

Recalls Love ofLiberty
OF Britain and j. ).
Remembers With Pride
He Quit as Premier
On Debt Payment Issue
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2l.-Edouard
Herriot, former Premier of France
and Mayor OF Lyons, has written
From the Depths of Solitude"
memoir vibrant with love of the
United States and Great Britain.
The current American Mercury,
on the stand tomorrow. observes that
"the world will recognize this article
as an act of courage and patriotism"
The magazine, calling the article
the first written since the armiStice
by a democratic French statesman
still residing in France, says it care
fully avoids direct discussion of the
current tragedy"
Among the memories which fill
my journal" writes M. Herriot, 1.-The
most precious to me in these tragic
days we are living through are the
ones that bring back the beginnings
of my cordial relations with two
nations for which my admiration
today is more fervent than ever
Great Britain and the United
States"
Resigned on Debt Issue.
M. Herriot speaks mostly of his
work as Mayor of Lyons, a post he
held from 1905 to 1910. He speaks
little of his days in the French
cabinet or as head of the govern
ment, but observes in one place:
'@The most beautiful moment in
my public life was when in Decem-
ber, 1882. sacrificed a government
over which I presided. in order to
respect the signature of France and
not to betray our common memories
Of the last war;
That was when M. Herriot re-
signed as Premier on the issue of
the French debt to the United States.
M. Herriot recalls his first visit to
England in 1906, when. with a dele
cation from his City Council, he
visited several English cities, and
Of the impression made upon him
by the Englishman's love of liberty.
After this Journey" says M.
Herriot, "I was completely won over
to these principles. From then on,
I have been convinced that Great
Britain and France are two COM
Elementary nations destined to-
gether to defend liberty, human in
dividuality, human justice. I believe
In 1t today in 1941 just as I believed
in 1906"
Sees Moral Purpose in U. S.
M. Herriot tells of improvements
made in his city of Lyons as inspired
by visit to the United States, say
ing that he left this country with
a greater ambition to modernize the
city of which I was mayor /"
Unlike those travellers who talk to
us only of American technique,
came away with the conviction that
IN the United States moral purpose
Is the motive of all activity"
In concluding his brief memoir,
M, Herriot says. Il wanted to show
that I was bound and always will
be bound to Great Britain and to
the United States"
Referring to President Roosevelt,
he writes.
II would not bring this article to
4 close without addressing him an
expression of my warm admiration,
and without sending him from the
depths of my solitude my greetings
to the great people of the United
States where differing opinions may
be freely expressed and where every
one. whatever his political group,
cherishes a respect Tor the human
being and for moral law"

 E DEDICATED
 THIS AFTERNOON
200 People on Hand 10 Witness Ceremony by
 Mayor, Others

Before almost POO adults an d children, the Juneau Municipal swimming pool in Evergreen Bowl was dedicated and officially opened today by Mayor Harry I. Lucas. Standing outside the wire enclosure of the pool a short address was made by Secretary of Alaska E. L. Bartlett and this was followed by few remarks by Superintendent of Schools A. B. Phillips, where upon Mayor Lucas was presented with the keys of the pool by Recre- ational Superintendent Harold Roth.
 Bartlett pointed out that the finishing of work on the swim ming pool was the 17th Public Works Project to be completed ill Juneau under the Works Progress Administration, the other projects including improvements on the ball park, building of roads, and sewers. The cost of the pool, stated Bart lett, was $990O of which $2,700 was paid by the city.
 Supt. Phillips addressed his re- marks to the children of Juneau, asking them to cooperate, with Roth in the maintenance of the pool and showing them the importance of abiding by the rules and regu- lations governing it's use.
 The ceremony was completed with the dedication of the pool by Mayor Lucas as he received the keys from Roth. Said he: T here by dedicate this municipal outdoor swimming pool to the betterment of the health of the children of Juneau"
 This is one more milestone in the increase and improvement of recreational facilities provided so that there might be an appropri- ate outlet for the children of the city to participate in good, clean ports activities, stated Lucas.
 Upon the competitor of the dedi- cation, the doors of the bath houses were unlocked and a mad scramble of children of all sizes ushed to enter the pool. One small child, having forgotten his bathing suit but not wanting to miss out )n the fun dove into the rool with nothing on but his underwear
 The pool is 75 feet long and 30 feet in width with a depth of six feet at it's deepest points, Regular classes for swimming will be sched- uled later and Red Cross swim ming and life saving tests will be conducted in the latter part of August.

MADRID, July 18.-In blaze of red and gold bunting, General Fran cisco Franco today gave wholesale pardons to political prisoners of Nationalist Spain, celebrating the fifth anniversary of the start of the Civil War
 In his speech, Franco declared that United States intervention in the European war would lead to a universal conflict lasting years, and ending in the ruin of all nations.
 But to Spaniards, the chief inter est in his speech lay in his attention to Spain's postwar domestic prob lems and her efforts to get food from abroad.
 Speaking at Villaverda, near Mad rid, Franco said the government hoped that Spanish workers might gain living wage. He said 800,- 000,000 other Europeans were threat ened with starvation due to the war and blockade.

 Skipper Dan R. Fisher of the Fisher Flouring Mills. and his son Bennett; Clyde Stromberg and H. E. Jamison, Seattle newspapermah, related how they were booming into Prince Rupert with Strom- berg seated in the cockpit in the bow watching for driftwood when a shell exploded right in front of them"
 Jamison said he understood the vessel was supposed to fire five degrees off the bow, but this was less than half a degree"
 The Begoda failed to see the pa trol and didn't know they were to stop. They were pro- ceeding g knots and they believed the Canadian patrol boat misjudged their speed.

JApSAFRAID OF AMERICA
 IN PACIFIC

TOKYO, July 18-The Japanese Foreign Office controlled Japan Times Advertiser said today "A Roosevelt wall is being built and strengthened about Japan's eastern front and threatens the safety of this Empire It is time for Japan to take forceful measures in her own interests now before the throt : ting circle becomes too strong and dangerous
 Referring to recent United States moves to strengthen island bases in the Pacific, the paper in an editorial said: Tn these develop ments there can be seen nothing less than an attempt to establish an American empire over the ap- breaches to and the exits of Ja- pan. If the U. s. secures Asiatic bases, the interlocking system will present q first class problem of in ternational encroachment requiring an international protest"
 The editorial said the wall stretches from the Aleutians south and west, divides the Pacific and encroaches on Western Pacific liberties.

Brennan Here On CannerY
 Inspection n

E. M. Brennan, Vice-PreSident and General Manager of P E. Harris and Company, one of the large salmon cannery operators in Alaska, arrived in Juneau on the Aleutian today during an inspection trip of all Of the company's Southeast Alaska plants.
 Five canneries are operated by P. E. Harris Company this year, at False Pass, Hawk Inlet, Rake, Sunny Point and Rose Inlet and MT. Bren- nan is calling on this trip at all plants except False Pass.
 Regarding the salmon season at Hawk Inlet, MT. Brennana said that it is too early to predict the final pack with any degree of accuracy but that indications are favorable for better than normal pack for an odd-year cycle.
 All gear for Hawk Inlet and Port Althorp is being operated from Hawk Inlet this year, and the company has no immediate plans for rebuild ing the Port Althorp plant destroyed by fire last year.
 In the southern district around Ketchikan, early indications are promising for a good pack and the salmon run in the Frederick Sound area is favorable at this stage of operations.
 The run of red salmon on the south side of Alaska Peninsula, where the False Pass cannerys is operated, has been disappointing. a condition which may be accounted for by the unfavorable weather dur ing the first part of the season. Prospects for ot her grades of fish, however, are normal, the cannery- man said.
 Correcting figures in a story in yesterdays Empire, MT. Brennan said that the 230O00 cases given as the pack of the Nakeen cannery as of last Saturday should have been the figures for the Naknek district and the 100000 cases predicted as an end of the season pack for the cannery should have referred to Bristol Bay.
 Brennan will leave tomorrow by plane for Hawk Inlet and call at Rake before returning to Juneau. He will visit Rose Inlet and Sunny Point on his way to Seattle.
