While our statesmen are preaching preparzsdness and our President leads a “get-tough-towards-Russia” policy, the Communists in control of the labor unions of America, working in conjunction with CP officers in the United States, have managed pretty well so far to see that this country is foiled by one work stoppage after another in getting back into top production strength. The control of the maritime unions is especially important. Keep them out and this country’s attempts to build up the defenses of its far-flung military bases, including Alaska. are pretty well fouled up Meanwhile, the current labor unrest is promoted little more each day President Truman puts off tion on a bill which he has had on his desk for some time now. Both sides are undoubtedly awaiting his action con this all-important measure to decide future courses. The President could very well have made up his mind on the bill before the current maritime mixup came about. A decision one way or the other would have given both employers and unions something to go on. And if it is the President’s notion to allow the bill to become law without his signature, he could so state his intention at any time. Gilt Edge (Cincinnati Enquirer) In the 155-year history of the New York Stock | recommended ! the purchase of any security with one exception government bonds. During the war, the Stock Ex- e spent a good deal of its own money in urging the purchase of War Bonds. It is still engaged in the same campaign and only recently ran a quarter- page advertisement in this newspaper urging the pur- chase and retention of Series E War Bonds. Neither Stock Exchange members nor anybody else makes any commission on sales of these securitis During the war the double-barreled sales talk for the sale of War Bonds was based on a plea for the support of cur armed forces plus the argument that they were the soundest investment in the world. Of the two points, we have no doubt that the patriotic urge sold the most bonds. With the war over, of course, we no longer need bilions of dollars for bul- lets and airplanes and battleships, but the argument that there is no safer place in the world to invest your oney than in the bonds of your government is just as valid today as it ever was—and maybe more valid in these times of uncertainty The Stock Exchange's vivid chart owing the increase of value in E Bond investments over the 10-year riod of their life. The chart shows clearly the importance, not only of pur- ct dvertisement presents a chasing these bonds, but of holding them until maturity. Wise persons with an accumulation of E Bonds tucked away in a safe place have the best ace in the hole in the world against rainy days that are sure o come. No advertisement ever published gave better advice than this plea of the New York Stock Exchange urging everybody to buy as many government bonds as they can handle and to hold them as long as they can. Music and Science (New York Times) The latest meeting of the Acoustical Society of America was enlivened by addresses in which Dr. Howard Hanson, the distinguished composer; Or. Harvey Fletcher, acoustical expert of the Bell Tele- phone Laboratories, and Dr. Harold Burris-Meyer, who has done much to heighten tne dramatic effect of plays and operas by his acoustical inventions, all agreed that it is about time to enrich music by giving it the benefit of the progress that physicists have made in the last fifty vears. We wonder what musi- cians think of these proposals. On the whole, they have resisted innovation The piano has not been notably improved in fifty years, though the patent office is clogged with disclo- sures of double keyboards that make it possible to trill in octaves, electro-magnetically vibrated strings electronic amplifying devices and pedals that can be fluttered electrically to avoid the blurring of pasages. There is no reason why research should not evolve a violin as good as any that ever came out of Cremona in its heyday, but it is doubtful if a popular virtuoso would play it in public. Only in wind instruments of orchestras, in the “organs” now played in motion- picture houses by musicians of ability and in the electronic instruments of radio stations have there been notaple innovations. There is no doubt that composers would like to make the most of the re- markable tonal effects which can be obtained wit electron, tubes, but where are the virtuosi who will master the electronic keyboards? Artists of established reputation will not forsake their pianos and violins, and ambitious unknowns who may be willing to try the new must remain unheard because they have no public following. Even the composers. for all their revelutionary experiments with whole-tone and other scales and with combinations of notes that would have ocutraged eighteenth-century formalists, have a streak of con- servatism in them. There are 1:0t many like George Antheil, who once wrote a Ballet Mecanique scored for pneumatic riveters and other noise producers, and even the sensationalists cling to the standard instru- ments when they are in earnest. If for no other reason than that it bears some resemblance to mathe- | matics in ils use of written symbols, music ought to progress with science. Yet the mathematicians seem far readier than the musicians to make the most of w systems of expression. For all the Shostakoviches and Prokofieffs, composers and performers are as con- servative as bankers.
