Hall on Tuesday at $50. Last
May, this group of 60 singers un-
der the direction of Paul j.
Christensen, stopped in WASH
ington to give a concert before
leaving on a two-month tour of

Most of the singers are of Scan
dinavian descent. The city of
HLarvik in Norway gave a spe-
cial welcome to the director, whose
father, F. Melius Christensen of
st. Olaf Choir fame, served as
organist in the local church be-
fore coming to America. The
concerts drew audiences of as
many as 5000 in most of the
towns visited.

British Election Issues

praised affect almost every busi-
ness and every household. Just
as the Republicans in the 194d
congressional campaign made an
effective issue of food rationing,
Churchill has tried to inf1ame the
discomfort over general rationing
by talking about "queuetopia"
supplanting the Utopia promised
in l945 by the Labor spokesman.
Foreign policy is not an issue
in the campaign although the
Conservative st a t e m n IS and
speeches mention the United
States and its aid more often
than those of Labor. Each party
insists that it will find a balance
between Britain's interests and
those of the Empire and Com
monwealth. Western Europe and
the United States. 1t is a mat
| ter of record. however, that
Churchill has been much more
active than the Labor leaders in
working toward United States
OF Europe. He has also been
more aggressive in his plans for
the Empire.
Americans are also interested in
the prospective life of whatever
government wins February %,
Members of Parliament are elected
for five-year term but the actual
life of government is determined
by how long during those five
years the Prime Minister can
maintain his majorities on i'm
portant issues. Failure to get a
vote of confidence usually means
that the government must ask for
a new general election to ascer.
tain the will of the electorate.
General elections halt or delay
actions on impending interna-
tional questions, first, because the
other nations want to know
whether they are dealing with a
government that will be returned
to power, and second, because the
responsible ministers are too busy
electioneering to devote the need
ed time to international affairs.
Astute British observers hers
predict that if the labor govern
ment gets majority of less than
40 it will not last out the IL
months. Their explanation is
that such a scant margin could
be wiped out by the Liberals and
independents joining with the
Conservatives and National Lib
erals in vote of lack of conf
dence.
Conversely. these same observ-
ers predict that if the Conserva-
tives get majority of less than
40, they will be out of office within
the year. The argument is the
same-what with deaths, resig-
nations and a probable combina-
tion of the Laborites with the
Liberals and independents
Churchill would not be able to
maintain his majority.
When the election results are
announced on February "a, equal
ly important with the announce
ment of the victor will be the size
of the majority by which the vic
tory was obtained.

Igift to the Capital of the building
about which there has been so
much agitation and so little con-
structive activity?
A great deal. of money will be
spent for temporary buildings.
The permanent amphitheater does
not fill all the requirements. It is
a summer gathering place, only
partially equipped for protection
against storms. An auditorium
could be used all year round,
could, in time, pay for itself, and
would solve all the problems con-
nected with the Inauguration and
the holding Of conventions. 1t
would serve as the nucleus of all
artistic, commercial and patriotic
undertakings In the country,
bringing fame as we'll as dollars
to the city.
Compares With Other Festivals
Now. if Mr.. Meyers could count
on such an auditorium, he could
arrange a schedule that would
rival the important music festivals
OF the world. The latest newcomer
in that line, the Edinburgh Fes-
tival, draws people from all over
the world. It's success the three
years since its establishment has
been phenominal. In this coun-
try, we have festivals such as that
held each summer in Tanglewood,
where visitors are counted up in
the thousands. That is the draw
ing power of music. That is what
the music program of the Sesqui-
centennial could be if the proper
financial assistance and encour-
agement be behind it.
During this year, Washington
could be the rallying ground of
all the great musicians of the
country. Their art could be dis
played in event after event. The
audiences, coming from far and
near, would guarantee the none
tary return. But there must be
space to accommodate the num-
bers and none is available at pres
ent. The Government would not
be taking great chances should it
appropriate money to this end. It
knows, only too we'll, that you can
not have the best without paying
for it. And it is of extreme i'm
portance that the music program
of this celebration be success.
We owe it to the whole United
States. We need to show the
world our cultural progress for it
is well acquainted with our COM
mercial success.

They were begun in 1894 and
probably completed the following

Wheat resided at an early date in

SesquicentennioI Plans Point Up Need
For Permanent Auditorium for Capital
By Alice Eyersmon

The appointment of Emerson
Meyers to take charge of the music
ARRANGEMENTS for the Sesqui-
centennial is the first step in the
organization of this very important
part of the celebration. 1t may
seem, to some people, of minor
Importance, but this is mistake.
The music program, properly
planned and executed, can be one
of the greatest drawing cards and
pay it's way in the financial sense
as well. 1t can reflect glory on
the Nations Capital more re-
splendent and impressive than
any of the other events to be
scheduled.
Capable as Mr.. Meyers is. he
cannot accomplish this without
cooperation. He will need SYM
pathetic listening to his plans and
he will need money to put them
into running order. Money is the
stumbling block. Will it be pos
sible to have enough of it allo-
Gated to the music program when
there are many places for it to be
spent. The answer to that will
show just how much the govern
ing powers care for the art and
how much they realize its infiu-
ence in the lives of people. Dur
ing the depression, when despair
overlook many. there was a great
clamor for music to give spiritual
support in the time of need. Much
was written about it and indi-
viduals who had been Indifferent
to it suddenly found solace in it
and were amazed as we'll at the
intellectual interests they discov-
cred when all they sought was
comfort.
1t is peculiar thing but when
all goes we'll with the world, music
falls back into the special circle
that has always been its devotees.
These have increased since ad-
versity forced them to grasp at
anything to help them and the
number is sufficiently large at
present to warrant full considera-
ton when a rare and significant
patriotic event is planned such
as the sesquicentennial celebra-
tion.
Need Proper Auditorium
But with the money willingly
set aside for music events that
Mr.. Meyers may outline, where
would they be given? The amphi-
theater already under construc-
tion in Rock Creek Park will be
occupied every night of the sum-
mer except Sundays, with the
symphonic drama. The Water
gate is booked solid, as indicated
at present, from the beginning of
June until the end of August. The
Sylvan Theater, charming in itself,
cannot accommodate the expected
crowds enough to guarantee the
necessary financial returns.
Usually an anniversary celebra-
ton is accompanied by a gift. Such
a milestone in living as a golden
wedding anniversary is the occa-
sion for family and friends to
shower the couple with presents.
What present is being given the
City of Washington on its century
and a half celebration? The
present that rightfully belongs to
it, that it has asked for repeated
1y, is a proper auditorium in
which to house it's music programs
and other events of Importance.
1t is a need as well as an orna-
ment that it asks for. Why can
not the eliminating deed of the
Sesquicentennial planning be the

more colorful and dramatic, but
they lack lower and middle class
appeal. Almost every one agrees
that Churchill was great Prime
Minister during the war, but
when I was in London in 1947
several bankers privately acknowl-
edged that they would not like to
see him in power during the post
war reconstruction period. They
regretted that his heir apparent
to Tory leadership, Anthony Eden.
was more concerned over foreign
policy than domestic economies.
They spoke more enthusiastically
about Lord Woolton, chairman of
the Conservative Party; R. A.
Butler, Harold Macmillan and
Oliver Stanley. They deplored
the lack of up-and-coming young
Conservatives, observing that
Churchill apparently wanted to
eliminate competition.
Issues Listed
In general terms, the Labor
spokesmen have based their ap-
peal on full employment and equal
treatment for all classes, arguing
that these were made possible only
by state planning. rationing and
subsidies for the lower Income
families. The Tory spokesmen
argue that full employment was
inevitable after a war that de-
stroyed SO many factories. business
houses and homes and that had it
not been for American aid in the
form of the multibillion- dollar
loan" and the Marshall Plan
there would be two-and-a-half
million unemployed today. If in
itiative and private enterprise had
been allowed greater play, Tories
say, Britain would have made far
greater progress during the past
1OQl SCdl D.
In specific terms that the voters
can understand, the issues are
jobs, food, housing, taxes and red
tape.
Deputy Prime Minister Morrison
gave the principal Labor argument
when he said last week end:
IF we want full employment we
must have as a permanent part of
our system controls over the loca-
tion of industry, over credit, over
some raw materials and over ex-
ports and imports of capital. This
is the real issue in this election" ."
Former Prime Minister Church.
Ill gave the official Tory reply the
next night at Leeds: >.
Tory Reply
"No single broad decision will
do more to prevent unemploy-
ment, to improve our credit and to
tighten and simplify our problems,
both here and abroad, than the
stopping of Naturalization"

British industry has been ma
tionalized, including the Bank of
England, coal, electric and gas
