A Testing Ground
BY Florence S. Berrvman

,
Tibet is probably one of the
places least known to the general
public. But little beam of light
is being directed upon it this month
at the Barnett Alden Gallery, 127
Randolph place NV, in the form of
an exhibition of art and religious
objects collected by DR.. Eileen Mac
farlane, a Michigan woman who
has spent most of the past decade in
India, studying the castes and
tribes from Malabar to Tibet.
Nearly 40 objects on view, all of
them in remarkably good condition,
include temple banners, called
"tankas" in Tibet, rituaistic and
metal objects, all connected with
Lamaism, the religion of Tibet,
which is mixture of Buddhism and
devil worship. To the average eye,
the paintings appear to be Chinese
AS matter of fact. an outstanding
exhibit, set of five tankas dating
from the 18th century, is of Chinese
origin in style and technique.
These paintings, by Buddhist
monks or lamas of Tibet, are usually
done on cloth-canvas or cotton
They have handsome borders of silk
or brocade and are mounted on
rollers with brass ends. The subjects
are Buddhist. The antique set OF
five depicts Sakya NUM- (the Living
Buddha) with saints, disciples and
guardian kings. They are painted in
delicate, rich tones, in old stone
paints, such as were used on the
famous Buddhist frescoes at Atlanta
in India.
There is also an excellent speci-
men of the Wheel of Life" paint
ing, which is in every Tibetan tenn
pie but is exceedingly difficult for
outsiders to obtain. DR.. Macfarlane
waited four years to acquire this

theory of successive rebirth and the

Alice Deal Reporter
Learns About Plan
For World Peace
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Polly Putnam, H,
Alice Deal Junior Hiab school

Alice Deal Junior HiRh School.
Recently I set out to interview
Ely Culbertson on his plan for q
world federation, which had heard
him discuss on "Town Meeting Of
the Air" few weeks before. When
we met for the interview, however,
he found that he was late for a
luncheon engagement. On the spur
Of the moment, he invited me to
accompany him, and I was intro
duced to some Senators, who asked
me to sit at their table.
During the meal, the Senators
told me interesting stories about
their experiences on Capitol Hill.
Then Mr.. Culbertson presented his
plan.
First, he said, the United States
must make treaties with all the
Latin American countries-now
rather than after the war. Then
he showed us the areas he has
mapped out and explained how we
should get them to Join us.
Some Of the Senators thought Mr..
Culbertson's most important idea
was that Of quota system for an
international police force. This
idea, he explained, came from our
Constitution, which provides for a
militia to be raised and controlled
by each State except in time Of
war, when the Federal Government
takes charge. -
The governing body Of the pro-
posed federation would consist of
13 trustees from the areas partici-
pating. These would take turns as
president, each term lasting six
years. The first president would be
from the United States.
The federation would have the
power Of outlawing war, but all other
powers would be retained by the
governments of the individual
nations. Each country would retain
its sovereignty, giving up only its
right to wage war.

Exhibition of American Paintings
In the Phillips Memorial Gallery

land to the left by Marjorie Phillips
with which they are found in ex-
cellent accord.
The Eilshemius canvas Is a re-
cent acquisition and very conserva-
tive-a picture Of the seaside with
boats in the foreground; the Phil
lips is of a Farm Road" and in
directness of treatment, color and
atmospheric effect to be counted
among the artists best. The Marins
are decidedly less realistic and sig
nif1cant but between these tradi-
tional modern works they do not
appear out of place.
There is a striking analogy be-
tween music and painting. "Abso-
lutte Music" is the name lately given
to music which through musical
sound, unexplained, gives Joy to the
listener, as purely esthetic ex-
preston. On the other hand there
is program music which, explained
in words, creates mental pictures
through realistic sounds. The same
applies to painting.
The abstract paintings by Angus
tus Vincent Tack in this exhibition
make appeal entirely through their
colorful beauty aside from form or
pictorial reference. Nothing is ex-
lplained, the understanding created
between the painter and the observer
Is wordless, but it is by no means
Insignificant. None has succeeded
SO well as Mr.. Tack in thus widen
ing the boundaries of the art OF
painting, combining the purely
spiritual with the familiar natural
His pictures are in the realm o1
painting what absolute music Is in
the world of sound-both lift the
spirit. Others have experimental
along other lines, and with less
success. To escape the bondage OF
realism distortion has been resorted
to, but the eye is not deceived nor
the guest for beauty satisfied. .
The result is not happy and the
chief effect shock. It is a question
how far this can go, a question
which, however. must be answered
by the artists and the public Jointly
with, on both sides, open minds. So
much however must be remembered
whereas music's appeal is to the
listening ear so paintings is to the
keen seeing eye-and both have their
own medium.
A Testing Ground
Mr.. Phillips in the foreword tc
the catalogue of the present exhi.
bition makes it clearly understood
that not all the works now shown

tain it, is whatever may be indi-
viduai predictions, that an un-
changing art is an art without vi
tality, but also 1t should be remem-
bered that among those seeking new
life sincerely many will fail before
the few attain the summit. The
list of Searchers in the catalogue
of the current exhibition Is long,
diverse and thought-provoking.
An interesting but unemphasized
feature Of this exhibition is the in
clusion therein of works by young
Washington artists who have come
under the influence of the Phillips
Gallery School and Collection and
are now making their well-consid-
cred contributions.
In the printrooms Of the gallery
water colors by American artists,
from Homer to Marin, are now on
view, supplementing and rounding
out the general showing. Review
of this section will follow. Changes
will be made in the groups from
time to time.
Exhibition of Soldier Art
From Ne,c Guinea
One of the most surprising and
inspiring exhibitions of the current
season is that of drawings and
paintings by Allied military men
while on active duty in New Guinea,
which for a fortnight or more has
occupied the lobby of the Red Cross
headquarters building on Seven
teenth street between D and E
streets NV.
OF the half-hundred artists rep
resented only about one-tenth had
had technical training in art before
entering the Army and this in most
instances was in the line Of COM
lmercial design and illustration. The
contributors, Australians as well as
Americans, came from all walks Of
life. One was barber, one a chef,
while among others were a bank
clerk, an industrial steelworker and
a graduate of Yale University. The
drawings and paintings were done
as recreation, under most difficult
circumstances and with the poorest
materials, none other being obtain
able In the New Guinea jungles.
The results are excellent-forth-
right, skilfull and impressive
Ireportorial, to be sure, but fine in
feeling and execution. They tell
their stories well. And strange as
1t may seem under the known condi-
tions the majority of these drawings
and paintings are not only factual
but amusing-full Of humor of the
best sort. With death confronting
all and overtaking not a few, laugh
ter prevails. Bravery such as this
eliminates defeat from the reckon
| ing.
1t should be noted also that in
the, far-off environment of the
Southwest Pacific these soldier ar
lists have found and recorded
beauty, outstanding in which Gates
CORY are "Serenade," by Capt. Rob-
ert L. Peirce of Lincoln, Nebr., and
Death of a Plane" by Pvt. Ian B.
Mcdowell of Brisbane, Australia.
Both are water colors, the former of
a night sky swept by searchlights
and twinkling with stars, as seen by
an airplane spotter, voted the most
popular by soldier ballot when the
collection had its first showing in
New Guinea, a work once seen never
Ito be forgotten.
