Opinions on Art
BY David Laurence

from the hartford CourAnt.
A host of Americans ridden by inferi-
ority complexes will heave a collective
sigh OF relief at the statement by Chan
cellor Arthur Compton of Washington
University. who admitted frankly that
he could not understand modern paint
ing. He said: I'm self defense I must
say my aesthetic canons do not ALWAYS
match the artillery of modern art"
Coming from one of the Comptops,
family noted for its erudition and
cerebral power, that Is heartening news
to all the poor art morons who wander
aimlessly through exhibits of modern
art wondering whether the subject is
sunset in Arizona or one coming up
sunny side. Only man of DR.. Comp
tons known intellectual powers, now
ever, could blandly admit his ignorance.
Many others, less secure, nod vigorously
in approval and murmur sweet nothings
when confronted by a modern, even
though they haven't the slightest idea
OF what it is about.
DR.. Compton did offer one interesting
suggestion to explain modern art. He
said he felt it was a reaction to the
realism made possible by modern pho
Biography. The artist, being unable to
duplicate the verisimilitude of the cam
eras. reacts violently by resorting to
oriental or primitive art for simplicity
and emotion. We wouldn't know, DR..
Compton, but We are happy to be in
such distinguished company for .

American participation in international

part IN the final framing of the Con-

States delegation at the inter-American
conference in Mexico City out of which
grew the Act of Chapultepec.
Mr.. Austin has served in the Senate
since 1881 with distinction. More re-
centiy ne has been a member of the
Committee on Foreign Relations. Before
and throughout the war he was intense
ly interested in building up national
defenses-an issue in which he is still
a strong advocate. He has DELAYED his
resignation from the Senate, believing
ne should remain on the job when the
bill for the unihcation of the armed
forces comes up for consideration. He
Is waiting, too, for the final legislative
action on the bill for the control of
atomic energy-which has passed the
Senate and is awaiting action by the
House
He admits that there still exists in
this country a group of isolationists
but he Is convinced that this group is
small mlnority-and nominations for
Congress made in few Midwest States
IN no way lessen his belief that the
overwhelming sentiment in this country
is for international collaboration. He
Is, however, in no sense an "appeaser"
and is convinced that this country must
have a definite international policy of
its own.
Mr. Austin regards his new assign
ment as one not only of great interest
but OF great Importance. For he has
great faith in the future of the United
Nations-but sine qua non for its sue
cess in his opinion is a strong United
States. Many of the difficulties into
which the United Nations has so far
run, II Mr.. Austin is right in his esti-
mate, stem from the fact that since the
close Of hostilities in the recent war,
this country has allowed its huge mill
tary and naval and air forces to dis
integrater
Unless the Vermont State Legislature
should be called into special session to

be nominated at an August primary,

The House and the Loon

Numerous technical and dollars
and-cents facts of the most convinc-
ing kind argue in favor of the Brit
ish loan, but none argues with
greater force than the simple and
immensely important fact just cited
by President Truman-namely, that
without this credit "it will be diff
cult, if not impossible. to proceed
with the United Nations program
for international economic cooper
alton"
Were the House to fail to follow
the Senate in approving the loan
the immediate effect of the failure
would be to deprive American indus
try and agriculture of a vast market
abroad. But this would be the least
of the ensuing evils. Britain would
be forced, as matter of self
protection, to use to the utmost its
sterling area dollar pool, its empire
preference system and other control
devices against competitive trade.
This, in turn, would lead to retalia-
tory measures on the part of the
United States and other countries,
and commercial rivalries would enter
the cut-throat stage, with economic
frictions growing between blocs of
nations, blasting away the high
hopes of Breton Woods and giving
us instead the kind of conditions
which in the past have been prime
factors in driving the world to war.
1t is to prevent this grim prospect
that the loan has been negotiated.
Apart from its short-term aim to
help Britain return to a healthy
position as power second only to
us in commercial Importance, the
agreement has the long-range OBJ
Jectlve of stimulating and Stabi-
lizing the economy of the world
through the lowering of tariff walls
and other barriers to international
trade. To this end, given our line Of
credit, the British would be COM
mitted to abolishing or greatly
modifying controls like empire pref.
erence, and beyond that they would
be committed to work with us in
continuing program for the freer
exchange of commerce among ma
tions, to lift living standards every
where and reduce the chances of
bitter, war-breeding rivalries.
This Is what the President has in
mind when he says, almost by way
OF understatement. that economic
cooperation will be difficult, If not
impossible" without the loan. 1t is
what Secretary Byrnes has in mind
in declaring in Paris that the credit
is the FIRST essential economic step
toward peace and security" The
House, If it has the interests OF the
Nation at heart and the interests
of world that could scarcely sur
vive another major war, cannot fail
to act favorably on this portentous
measure
