Geographic Factors

for the best mental and physical
development,
Ideally, every region OF The world
should be allowed TO produce those
things which can best be produced
there. In such a situation, trade
barriers would disappear. With
trade barriers as they now exist,
many people OF The world are en-
gagged in trades beneath their level
O: skill.
In closing. the speaker pointed
out some OF the difficulties con-
fronting the United Nations in their
efforts TO establish world peace
Important among these problems
are the utilization Of wartime scien-
tifc discoveries, the diffusion OF
knowledge about other peoples Of
ihe world, and the surrender OF GER

Christopher Wood Exhibit
AT Phillips Memorial

To give q fair appraisal Of the
achievement Of an artist cut down
on the threshold OF his prime is al
ways difficult. Such Is the case with
Christopher Wood, an exhibition Of
whose work opened last Sunday at
the Phillips Memorial Gallery. Ac-
quaintance with this young Eng
lishman's. biography, and apprecia-
tion of the idyllic remoteness OF his
subjects, color his work with
pathetic charm.
Christopher Wood was gifted
young man reputed to have had ex-
traordinary personal magnetism
During his short, restless life, he
travelled extensively on the Conti-
nent and in Africa. Exposed to the
paintings Of leaders Of modern art,
especially his friend Picasso, Wood
experimental along various lines,
borrowed freely from different artists
and began to fuse these influences
into personal expression. The
better part Of his achievement was

ton, though maybe not a work OF
the kind to celebrate musically Rus
sia's superb victory, is to be consid-
cred as a definite step forward in
the production of this talented CON-
poser.
whence this insolent attitude on
the part of these critics and politi-
cal 'connoisseurs' in music and the
other arts, who demand that cre-
ative artist should be forced into
continuous production of musico-
political claptrap for each and
every occasion? Listen, Mr..
Russian critic. That is not, but
distinctly not. the way great works
of art or the lasting regulations of
great nations are created. No
Beethoven, no Bach worked that
way. I fully realize that they may
be but bourgeois mediocrities. Still
I wonder, had they been born in
Russia, if they would not, with the
recent trend to whitewash those
other bourgeois fellows, Tschai-
kowsky and Rimsky -Korsakoff and
MousSorgsky, be considered accept
able Great works of art-once the
politicians and generals and mer-
chants of a country have gone to
their just rewards-are all that re-
main of and that proclaim a coun-
try's greatness"

Second Dahlgreen Series
At Smithsonian Institution

The Inauguration of an American
chalcography, composed of prints
made from 40 copper plates of etch-
ings and drypoints given by the
artist, Charles w. Dahlgreen. to tbe
Smithsonian Institution, was re-
ported on this page one year ago.
So great was the public response to
this Government project that it
was decided to print second series
of 20, from the bulk OF the remaining
plates, for exhibition this year. The
new show opened recently in the
Division of Graphic Arts, Smith
sonian Building, and will remain
through January 5.
Mr.. Dahlgreen's gift comprised "a
plates, Of which 80 have now been
printed in the Smithsonian Edition,
on handmade paper, by profess
sional printer. An inf1nitesimal
imprint of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition appears on these etchings
and drypoints, which though not
signed by the artist, are truly orig
inals. At his suggestion, they are
sold to the public at nominal prices,
and the proceeds are building up
the Charles w. Dahlgreen fund for
the improvement of the Smith
sonian graphic arts collections.
Mr.. Dahlgreen was born in Chi
cago on September 8. 1854, of Ger
man immigrant parents. He had
to leave school at l2, in order to
work to supplement the family's
income. He was successfully sign
painter, etcher on swords, foundry
worker and decorator. and in 1898
he was a Klondike prospector. He
studied art in Dusseldorf, Germany,
for three years, and later at the Art
Institute OF Chicago. In 1910 he
revisited Europe to study the old
masters.
Then in his mid-40s and thor
oughly grounded in his craft, Mr..
Dahlgreen began to exhibit his
work. He did not have long to wait
for recognition.
It is not surprising that Mr..
Dahlgreen,s etchings, drypoir1ts
and aquatints appeal to the public.
In addition to being technically ex-
cellent they depict beauty in nature.
Some of the purchasers Of Dahl
green prints in the Smithsonian
edition have told the curators that
they had already wanted to acquire
prints, but hesitated because they
felt they knew too little about art
to venture purchase, but that
they felt secure in buying prints
backed by q museum"

Kinder Joins
In InShoStakovich
Presentation
By Alice Eyersmon

Next week DR.. Hans Kinder will
Join the ranks Of conductors who
have championed Shostakovich's
latest orchestral work, the Sym
phony No. g." 1t will be played for
next Sundays audience and again.
at the following Wednesday night
concert This plan is being fol-
lowed In the belief that repeated
hearings viii gain appreciation of
the symphony which was first heard
in this country last summer when
DR.. Serge Koussevitzky presented it
at Tanglewood.
Like all Shostakovich symphonic,
compositions, it aroused storm of
comment, favorable In some in.
stances and hostilely unfavorable in
others. At the bottom of much of
the adverse feeling is the fact that
the composer has been widely pub
licized as musical prophet of the
Soviet government. The, story of
his fall from grace and his re-es-
tabhshrnent in official esteem is
we'll known as are the works created
in that harmonious atmosphere.
Now it seems, that after being COM
poser laureate of the U. S. S. r. for
SO long, he has mutinied again in
his Symphony No. 9" for which
he has been sharply reprimanded
as uncomprehending of his own
people.
DIR. Kinder Defends Composer.
DR.. Kinder, who considers the
composer has reached new heights
in the symphony, comes strongly
to his defense. He says: "The fall
lacy and stupidity of political
propaganda in music was never
so blatantly shown as by the recent
efforts of the Russian critic, /.
Nestiev, in the newspaper Culture
and Life, who pilloried Dmitri Shos-
takovich apropos of his Ninth SYM
phony. This latest work Of the Rus
sian composer, which had originally
been received with acclaim, now
suddenly was not worthy and did
not possess the grandeur necessary
for the evaluation in tones of the
sentiments experienced by the Rus
sian people during, and after the
days of victory
"The Russian press then unitedlyl
and promptly took up the same in-l
credibly foolish tone and made an
about face from its originally favor
able verdict. No official help came
to the composer, who for the sec
ond time in his still young life
found himself in the doghouse. His
first offense had been the opera
Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk which
Stain and Molotov had condemned
as the product of bourgeois deca-
dence and on which they walked
out.
Case Merits Close Study.
1.-THE case of the Russian CON-
poser who now for the second time
stands condemned in his country as
unworthy (no joke over there)
should really be gone into a little
more deeply by those interested in
freedom in general and in the free
dom of the arts in particular; more
especially as it so happens that
the condemned composition in ques-
