It seems that Malik is anxious to make
1t clear that peace between the United
States and Russia will be possible only
if the United States turns Communist.
And Stain Gas quoted by Malik) says
with typical Communist chicanery:
Questions of war and peace are not al
ways settled by the peoples. have no
doubt that the people Of the United
States did not want war with the people
of the U. S. S. r. in 1918-l9. This did
not prevent the United States Govern
ment. however. from attacking the
U. s. S. r. ="
Stain says the Government and the
people Of the United States are two en-
tirely different things, because We, the
people. did not want war with the
u. S. S. r. in 1918-l9. Does Stain
imply that If we, the people, would just
consider ourselves above our Govern
ment and listen to what the Communists
have to say about government, that We
would never again have to suffer the
ignominy Of going to war without our
expressed individual opinion Of that
matter?

Music
Budapest Quartet
Contrasts Bortok
And Mendelssohn
By EIeno de Soyn

Continuing the series of con-
certs in the Library of Congress
under the auspices of the Ger
trude Clarke Whittall Foundation
the Budapest String Quartet pre-
sented three works last night, Bar
tok's second quartet being the
least familiar.
In the cycle Of six, this COM
position is believed to be the first
to represent Bartok an his moods
in music, the composer having
succeeded in making use of his
idiom as means of self expression
A master of tonal resources and
a fine craftsman. he exploits the
sonorities of the strings-the
darker color predominating-and
creates the impression of deep
melancholy. Knowing the reverses
and privations Bartok endured
throughout his life, it is not diff
cult to find them reflected in the
dissonances of this work.
The Budapest quartet gave an
excellent reading to the Bartok
and to the Quartet No. II" by
Mendelssohn, so diametrically op-
posite in sound and sentiment.
Mendelssohn was 20 when he
wrote it. Melody and grace char
acterize its thoughtful introduc-
ton and the sweeping line of the
first movement. There was an
added touch of tenderness in the
"Andante expressive" which re-
sembles a song without words
The execution of the lifting Can
.zonetta," made famous by the
Flonzaleys, played at top speed.
was crisp and light. Not a note
was lost in this or the capricious
finale. Mendelssohn's music, per-
meated with sunshine, is always
refreshing, especially when con-
trasted with works which portray
the gloomy side of life, as did
that of Bartok.
Joan Higginson Heard
In First Song Recital
This reviewer was able to ar
rive at Pierce Hall last night in
time to hear the last group
of songs on the program
given by Joan Higginson, soprano,
in her first recital. The selec-
tions heard were "Cancion"
(Recitativo) la Flor de la Ca
nella";; Alaleone's "Orfano" and
"Fides";; Sgambatti's "Visione"
and several encoreS.
Miss Higginson is endowed mu-
sically and has a good, strong
voice from nature. She makes the
most of its inadequate placement.
Her middle register needs more
development to balance loudness
and the extreme softness of her
delicate tones which have no car
rying power.
A too frequent recourse to piano

 On Alaska Waters

SEATTLE, Dec. 19-{R-A floating convention in Alaska waters is plan ned definitely for 1852 by the Pres byterian Synod of Washington.
 The Rev. Robert M. Christiansen announced today approval of the plan by eight of nine Presbyteries. He headed the committee to study the plan for switching the 1852 con- vention from Spokane to Alaska.
 Most of the business sessions will be held on the steamer Prince George. Tentative convention dates are May 28-June 24. Stops will be made in Alaska for visits to mis- sions.
 The shift was proposed to give Alaska more recognition in Synod affairs and because changing coadi- tions and rising costs might prevent a later northern session.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19-R-There's one thing sure about the two plat oon system in fotball-you can stir up a good argument about it wheth- CT you're for it or against it.
 The Associated Press posed this question to sportswriters and sports casters:
 The platoon system, with it's at- tendant increases in the size of play ing squads and coaching staffs, is being blamed for many of footballs ills. Do you agree?
 Of the 121 replies received in the year poll, II said they favored the system. Some thought it was good, others were more enthusiastic and called it a great thing for the game.
 Fifty said they were against two platoons and their reactions ranged from a mild protest to a violent dissent.
 Those who were TOT the system of alternating offensive and defensive teams listed the following reasons It gives more boys a chance to play.
 2-It makes for more exciting football.
 3-This is an era of specialists, why not in football?
