ton and management of the Musical
Extension of the University in the
hands of a board of directors con.
sisting only of nine artists, all musi-
clans. 1t intrusted them not only
with the creation of its own laws
but with the handling of the funds
necessary for all this. I can hear q
member of Congress or a business
man say right here: Haven't these
people any sense? Who has ever
heard Of trusting nine artists, long
haired musicians at that, with the
handling of the equivalent Of 420, 900
good American dollars annually, for
the orchestra alone?" Because that
is what has happened. The Chilean
government in its wisdom charges a
az per cent tax on each ticket sold
at the movies, and this money IS
automatically transferred to the
Musical Extension, and the $420, 900
1000 900 pesos Is the part the
orchestral association gets.
No Quarrels Arise
Among Nine Musicians
In Washington We have to pay 20
per cent tax on each seat the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra sells.
although we are, of course, the
opposite Of a profit making organ
ization. And another thing. In the
six years of its official existence
(ever since the laws concerning tho
Extension Musical were passed.
these nine musicians, under tho
guidance of Domingo Santa Cru5
as dean of the fine arts depart
ment, have not quarreled. Can you
believe it? Well, the Chilean gov
ernment cani
1t has scrutinized and watched
them as they should when 1t comes
to the handling of public funds.
Occasionally they have been called
to account by some member of Con-
gress, and invariably they have
passed the test, unanimously and
with flying colors.
One more thing Of Importance.
When a musician is engaged, after
careful examination, his initial
salary automatically is increased 20
per cent every five years until after
Is years it is double the original
amount He may then be IS or 50
years old. He can then retire, or
if he is no longer any good, can be
asked to retire, and he gets gen.
erous government pension. In tho
meantime he can do outside work.
but only with the OK Of the board.
This is done in order to protect the
artistic standards of the orchestra.
For instance, no man is allowed to
play a hotel or even a theater job
and rush from there to play sym.
phohy by Beethoven-and back
again among the knives and forks.
Is it any wonder that the public
here takes its music with an extraor-
dinary seriousness? And do you
wonder that I am happy and deeply
grateful that, as a conductor, they
seem to have taken me to their
! hearts?

and for the sake Of peace I claimed
my authority as the maestro and
told them both sides were wrong
and that it was 1000 feet. AS this
number was higher than either
party had claimed, it astonished and
then satisfied them both.
On the top of the hill is a second
protrusion which in turn is crowned
by a little chapel with an enormous
statue Of the Virgin.
The view from this height over
the widespread town, with the
background of the snow-covered
peaks Of the Sordillera de los Andes
is beautiful beyond belief in the
autumn sun and alone worth the
5000-mile trip from Washington.

iels says; they understood him well,
for he meant what he said.
The many-sided President also
was a strategist. Even before we
entered the war, Mr.. Daniels says,
Wilson criticized the British Navy
for making two mistakes about the
U-boats, not to shut up the hornets
In their nests" and not to convoy
merchant ships. When we were at
war he insisted on both measures,
the former to be accomplished by
the North Sea mine barrage.
In both projects. according to Mr..
Daniels, we were hampered by Ad-
miral Sims, our naval representa-
tive in London, who merely adopted
the British objections instead OF
pressing our own points OF view.
The complaint that Sims adopted
the British rather than American
policies to the detriment OF his own
country was made with even greater
force against our Ambassador, Wal
ter Hines Page. Mr.. Daniels quotes
the President as saying: Il have
reached the conclusion that Wal
ter Page is the damndest fool we
ever appointed" and he asked Mr..
Daniels If he did not agree.
II shook my head" Mr.. Daniels
writes, "and answered, No, I do not.
am committed to Admiral Sims ?"
Mr.. Daniels, as is natural, keeps
his bitterest words for Senator
Lodge. His fight against the League
of Nations, Mr.. Daniels says, basic
ally. was to further his ambition to
become President. Despite his many
years in Congress, Senator Lodge
died without single great measure
bearing his name and he is remem-
bered chiefly, Mr.. Daniels says
paraphrasing the 1916 Democratic
slogans the one who kept us out
Of peace"
Perhaps the greatest tragedy to
Mr.. Wilson in his personal relations
came when he believed that Col.
House and Secretary of State Lam
sing proved recreant at Paris to the
trust the President had placed in
them
Although the immediate cause Of
Mr.. Lansings dismissal-the only
one of the ofiicial family forced out

At the table next to us sat young
boy OF about 10 with an old gover-
ness. The child looked so unusually
aristocratic that I inquired about
him from the manager. I was told
that he was the son of Prince
Stahermberg (of Tyrolean activity
renown, now in Buenos Aires) and
the beautiful Nora Gregor known
before the Anschluss as the Garbo
of Austria.
Afterward we all went up in the
rickety funicular railway to a hill
top in the heart of the city. There
was much argument among the
orchestra men whether the hill was
300 or 400 meters high. Excited by
the wine and the altitude, the South

WAKE FOREST, N. c.
W Wake Forest College students,
faculty and alumni are Won
dering what happens to a
school when it suddenly gets
millions of dollars, they well might
look for their answer just % miles
away-on the wooded campus and
among the Gothic buildings of Duke
University, in Durham.
Early this spring, Wake Forest,
small Baptist college with modest
endowment, was offered the Smith
Reynolds Foundation - $40, ,750, 900
derived from the r. J. Reynolds To-
bacco Coon one condition: That
It move the 108 miles to Winston
Salem, home Of the Reynolds family.
This foundation eventually may
grow to $5ooo0,0o
Three Baptist governing boards
unanimously have approved the
offer, and the State Baptist Conven-
ton will pass on it at special meet
ing in Greensboro July 80.
Trinity Became Duke
On-Offer of Millions
Back in 1924, James B. Duke of
the American Tobacco Co. gave
Trinity, small Methodist college,
q trust fund which has boosted Its
endowment to $4,000, ,000-on con-
dition that it change its name to
Duke. The Methodists quickly ac-
cepted the offer.
The parallel histories Of the two
denominational schools extends
back to their humble beginnings.
Duke traces its ancestry to 4
small institute established in 1888
In Randolph County. Incorporated
as q normal college, it granted the
degree of bachelor of arts to two
students in 1853. In 1856 it was afh-
lated with the North Carolina Con-
ference OF the Methodist Church. 1t

interested in the growth of musical
culture in our own country.
1t is an organization backed by
the Chilean government under spe-
cially created laws which centers
itself on the symphony orchestra of
the capital city of Santiago; but it
also includes activities of a diff
erent kinda conservatory, chamber
music organizations, choral groups,
the engaging of guest artists and
conductors, a school for the ballet,
etc. It constitutes, in short, the
kind of organization which 1 have
been hoping would some day be
established in our own Capital. Why
does small nation like Chile have
to succeed where we as yet have
not? I'll tell you why. 1t is be-
cause Chile is country of enough
culture among its ruling class to
have a law passed to erect statues
OF great artists, not only native but
foreign, in its principal city. So that
you must not be surprise. as 1 was,
on a recent walk to stand suddenly
before statue of Johann Sebastian
Bach-"erected in gratitude by the
people of Chile"
That is why, under the guidance
Of its excellent conductor, Armando
Carbajal and with the invaluable
assistance of great organizer, the
composer and musicologist, Domin-
go Santa Cruz, laws have been
passed by the Chilean Congress,
helping these artists in an incredibly
generous way to attain the desired
results for the furtherance of music
and the allied arts. And the gov
eminent has had the good sense not
to interfere.

was i'll, Mr.. Daniels is convinced the
real explanation goes back to the
Paris Peace Conference.
There, also, Col. House lost the
Presidents confidence when Will
son became convinced of his lack
of loyalty. "Mr. Smooth h-It-Away"
is Mr.. Daniels term for Col. House.
He quotes Albert Burleson, Wilson's
Postmaster General, as telling in
later years how COL House. coming
to Washington to see the President,
would arrive on an early train and
call on Burleson or some other men,
ber of the cabinet. Col. House
would acquaint himself with what
the President was thinking before
he reached the White House. And
then, before Wilson could ask any
questions, House would suggest the
very policy I or others had told him
was in Wilson's mind" Burleson is
quoted as saying.
Roosevelt Enters
The Picture
Mr.. Daniels grew fond OF his As
sistant Secretary Of the Navy. young
Franklin D. Roosevelt. He quotes
Roosevelt as saying, II get my fin
gers into about everything, and
there's no law against it." And, Mr..
Daniels adds, it was generally to
the good" The labor policies of the
New Deal were foreshadowed, Mr..
Daniels says, in Roosevelt's dealing
with the labor problem at the Navy
yards, during the war.
Mr.. Daniels found his young as
sistant looking from a window in his
omce in what is now the State De-
partment Building to the mansion
across West Executive avenue. Mr..
Daniels said to him: You are think
ing that some day you will occupy
the White House."
But Wilson, to whom Mr.. Daniels
gave his full devotion, Is the hero of
the book. Mr.. Daniels says: "As
long asmen place reason and justice
above strife and war, the name Of
Wilson will be enshrined in their
hearts"

So often artists are supposed to

Is, Of course, completely fallacious
