snobbery toward the basic musical ex-
pressions of the people.
These too-quick modernists have tried
too hard to be original. If they tried
less, and were willing to accept some
thing from the makers of popular
music, they would succeed better, and
be liked more.
It is not melody that the modernists
need to take from folk music. Heaven
knows, without it they would be COM
pletely lost. 1t is, rather, the spirit of
popular melody making. Tin Pan
Alley has been laughed at, reviled even,
but at it's best it possesses fair for
experimentation that the modern
classical music makers might we'll
emulate. Sometimes the experiments
turn out pretty sour. then the boys
laugh and try something else.
The best ones turn into hits" as
they are called At times, some of them
are pretty poor. One wonders why
people sing and whistle them. 1t must
be because they are recognized as an
attempt at something.
AS for the better tunes, they are such
as the great musicians of old would
have welcomed and stored away in their
note books for future reference.
Adolf Hitler. in his "secret conver-
sations,' as published recently in a big
book. speaks of recognizing in Anton
Bruckner's seventh symphony many Of
the Austrian Tyrol folk tunes to which
he danced as youth.
1t is too bad, therefore, that other
wise good music listeners get the idea
that there is something inherently
wrong in popular music, and that they
must be slightly ashamed of it.

]. L. S.
1t seems incredible that a profess
Sional soldier has been awarded per-
haps the most coveted prize in the
world today-an award which is gen.
orally identified with the type of work
which is the very antithesis of that
performed by the military.
The general assumption is that the
award was made to Gen. Marshall
because the foreign aid program bear
ing his name was launched during his
short tenure as Secretary of State. In
this particular instance, it seems un-
fortunate that the Nobel Peace Prize
awarding body did not break it's GUS
tomary policy of silence as to reasons,
and spell out exactly what part of
Gen. Marshalls work was being
rewarded Certainly the humanitarian
aspects of the Marshall Plan would full
fill one of the qualifications for the
reward, but since Mr.. NobelS objective
was also to encourage the limitation. or
abolition, of the profession Gen.
Marshall pursued, the award is indeed
puZzling.

Istriu and Texas

AS a veteran of the Wilson era, !
think I have some right to remember
in what a high estimation in the minds
of the Yugoslavs is the memory of one
of the greatest American Presidents,
Woodrow Wilson. Diplomatic history
shows how this great man fought for
the right of existence of the YugoslavS
in the Adriatic lands, coveted by Italy.
For that reason it is for us extremely
painful how Americans a generation
after Wilson judge the most simple
national problems of the Yugoslavs in
the countries claimed by Italy.
After all, the YugoslavS have defend
ed their national territory against
Italian imperialism through centuries.
Reading articles of some Italophile
American neWspapermen We are get
ting the impression that Stain invented
the YugoSlavs of Trieste and IStria
When Dandolo, the Dodge of Venice,
temporarily conquered Trieste in 1902,
Venice, the deadly enemy and rival of
Trieste, had to acknowledge that in
those days among the citizens of Trieste
were these pure Slavs: BiSlav, Domo-
drag. Mirec, Miroslav, etc.
Istria was the cradle of the Glago-
litic movement in the early Middle
Ages which on the basis of the Glago-
litic scripture saved the church Ian
guage of the Slavs, founded by the
Saints Cyril and Method, in spite of
the formidable opposition of the papacy
and the Italian clergy.
For that reason was highly amazed
that my distinguished friend Con-
Stantine Brown starts in Rome with
a new theory: Trieste and the Istrian
Peninsula are in fact as Italian as
Texas is American" Evening Star,
October 26, 1889
submitted to President Wilson and
the chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate Hitchcock a
memorandum on political conditions in
Gorica, Gradisca, Trieste and Istria
November l. 1918, document which
can easily be traced in the National
Archives of the United States. There
I am giving the following figures for
Trieste, 60,074 Yugoslavs and 1889
Italians and for Istria 22O,382 Yugo-
slavs and 145,525 Italians austrian
census of 1900 This census was not
at all just towards the Yugoslavs as
its basis was the so-called Language
of intercourse" That was the Italian
language which the oppressed and un-
derprivileged Yugoslav colon" and
worker was forced to use with his
Italian master who exploited him. But
nevertheless such an Austrian census
was ideal in comparison with the cruel
phantaSies of the census under Fascist
terror. The military government of
the allies in eight years did not at
tempt to organize some just census.
The Banus of Croatia Laginja, HIM
self an Istrian, called Istria a Yugo-
Slav coat with Italian buttons. The
Yugoslavs will not be angry if they
lose two buttons; Capo dIStria
and Pirano supposed that the coat will
remain with them because it is their
ownership. Finally do not wish that
Tito ought to take over Texas on ac-
count of deficient Istrian statistics.

When we hear any on putin on
this air, we feel like pulling out the
old ShakeSpearean quotation, and say
ing: For Gods sake, let us sit upon
the ground and tell sad stories of the
death of kings"
Popular music is not something to
be ashamed of, but to be glad for; it
perneates the heart as we'll as the
mind, the emotions as well as the
intellect.
A popular song with certain dignity
about it is fit for any human being,
because it is as basic as light and air
and good water, not this Souped-up
dope we try to drink nowadays.
Basic music is good music. Its SIM
plicity is not cause for scorn, but for
rejoicing. Modern life is far too COM
plex as it is; mathematical music is
hard to understand or like. Political
music, as the Reds fancy they have it,
is an absurdity in motion. The only
music that counts is true music, and
it is inmaterial whether it is as simple
as ABC or as difficult as calculus, if it
is true music. Folk music is not the
same as the more complicated musical
structures known as classical music. but
it is in no sense mathematical or polit-
ical. Its ideas are emotional ideas, and
it is right here that they mesh with
"long-hair" music. whose ideas or pat
terms. as musicians say, are validly
emotional as we'll as elaborated.
No honest music lover should be
afraid of either popular or classical
music, and certainly not of the popular,
whose melodies are easily grasped but
may be so good that they will last
q lifetime,

Lutherans Aid
.Prelate's War
On Child Bill

PHILADELPHIA (NC) -
Archbishop John F O'Hara. csc,
Archbishop of Philadelphia. has
been joined by officials of the
Pennsylvania Board of Inner Mis-
sions, United Lutheran Church of
America, in his opposition to pro-
posals by the State Legislature TO
change adoption procedure and
! child care laws.
In telegram sent last week TO
pastors of the archdiocese and read
at all the Masses Archbishop
O'Hara urged every Catholic man
and woman 10 express their Oppo-
sltion TO the proposed legislation
which he said would do serious
harm to dependent and neglected
children now cared for by the
Church by virtually destroying
Catholic child-carihg agencies and
by handing over such children to
the complete domination and con
troll OF civil authorities.
Rev. G. H. Bechtold. executive
secretary of the Lutheran Board OF
Inner Missions, has announced that
his board was also strongly oppos-
ed to the new legislation. He said
the new bills would leave child
care agencies now under the di-
rection of the churches complete
ly without power, without protec-
ton and without decision"
The proposed legislation would
give final decision in child welfare
matters TO proposed state egency
rather than to the courts as the
present law provides.
1t is this provision Archbishop
0'Hara charged, that would give
arbitrary power" to the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Welfare.
Opposition to the legislation has
come from the various Catholic di-
oceSeS in Pennsylvania and now
from the Lutheran Board of Inner
Missions.
The Pennsylvania Council of
Churches ProtestanD has announc.
ed its support of the measures and
the legislation also has the support
of Gov. John S. Fine.
Archbishop O'Hara stepped into
the controversy in an effort to cor
rect 'the prevailing misunderstood
ing and misinterpretation of the
position of the Catholic Church on
the subject" He termed the dis
pute unfortunate and unneces-
sary."
