Not Behind, Just Different Appearing before a congregsional committee the other day =the subject under discussion was whether to make it harder for foreign actors and musicians to enter the United States— Walter Damrosch unleashed that old one about America being “still far behind Europe in musical culture”. Mr. Damrosch is a great authority on classical music, but one wonders if he knows his America. More particularly one ‘wonders if he didn’t mean that America is far behind Europe with regard to the development of European musical culture. If Mr. Damrosch meant what he said, he ddes America an injustice. If he meant that we are behind Europe in Europe’s conception of what music should be, he unwittingly praises the cultural taste of the people of this country.

His pride and prestige are involved as never before in a legislative fight. He is ready, according to those who have talked with him, to be “as tough as it takes”. ee # Didn't Expect Split The worst blow the administra- tion has had was the refusal of such undiluted liberals as Senators Norris of Nebraska, and Wheeler of Monta- na, to fall in line behind the plan to appoint additional justices to the su- preme court when justices over 70 fail to retire. The liberals inside and outside congress are split. Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin, leads the contingent of senate progressives standing by Roosevelt. Roosevelt did not expect this split. His emissaries are urging the wandering ones not to fight the battle of the Republican party and the American Liberty League. Dissenting liberals nearly all favor &® constitutional amendment to achieve what Roosevelt hopes to get by a short cut. The one proposal be- hind which seekers of an amendment it throats of unwilling Americans already has gone on too long. ‘The Lord knows the American people have tried hard to live up to what the intelligentsia expect of them, but it is just no go. So far as the average American is concerned Victor Herbert is quite a fellow but Brahms is just something to read—and ‘wonder—about. The truth is that America RESPONDS to a musical culture of its own. European cylture doesn’t fit our conditions or tem- perament. Ours is a singing, whistling country where every man is his own musician. (If he can’t do anything else, he can hum.) : Because of this fact America would do better to establish and develop its own idea of music, give the raspberry to those who are always talking about inferiority. America isn’t in- ferior, it is just different. ‘ For which many a loyal soul will lift his voice in thankful- ness. The Real Issue Fred Brenckman, Washington representative of the Na- tional Grange did some straight talking the other day when he outlined the stand of his organization against packing the su- preme court. Said Mr. Brenckman in part: “It is clear that the real issue is one which involves a re- distribution of power as between the federal government and the states. This is a point which we should not allow to become ob- scuréd during the progress of the debate. If the people want to the constitution in accordance with the rules laid down in that instrument itself, so as to give the federal government great- er control over agriculture, industry and commerce, that is their isputed privilege. But, in all fairness, the supreme court has . no right to change the constitution through strained or unwar- ted ” ranted interpretation.’ That is probably as succinct a statement of the fundamental issue as will appear during the debates now in prospect. It takes cognizance of all the facts, states the problem without waste of words. The matter ought to be solved by the American people, ‘Girectly and consciously and without the multiplicity of minor considerations which frequently cloud such matters. It is pos- | sible—perhaps even probable—that the people are in favor of sasking these changes. It is easy to infer that the Grange, along ground that such action is the only thing that would be effective. Certainly the states haven't proved themselves efficient in a great many matters. Z 2 The point Mr. Brenckman makes is that such changes, ‘when made, should be made by the people of America, not by @ change in the interpretation of the existing document. When the rights of the people are subject to variable interpretations something bad is liable to happen to them.

This consisted taking young men and teaching them trades, either as formal tices or by the more common system of merely giving h a chance. When jobs got scarce apprentices and new brkers were not wanted. Now that they are needed. it may be “Bothe time before learners acquire the necessary skill. Education enters the picture because it can, if it will, do h to give elementary training for the trades as well as pre- instruction for the professions. Of the two, the former on there than in the so-called learned pursuits. Young men and women choosing to enter business via work- » clothes need not be concerned lest they have less opportunity er to win distinction or to earn a living. Overalls are a badge onor in a nation which has been built by the industry of its | te and examination of the records of the nation’s industrial ders show that many of them know what it means to toil in ranks. The classical education now being given young persons ing to enter pursuits where they work with their hands not be considered wasted. A mechanic can—and frequently =have as much appreciation of the arts, for example, as a or a doctor. Education has reached the point in this country where it id #omething more than a means to earn a living and this is as it ould be. But there is no point in overlooking an opportunity fitting young people for jobs where they are needed and they will be happy.
