FILIPING FREEDOM DECLARED PRESSING Resident Commissioner Says Question Rests on Islands’ Defense Ability. Declaring that the Philippine ques- Hon is one of the foremost problems pressing for solution, Pedro Guevara, resident commissioner senting the islands, addressing the Committee on International Co-operation to Prevent War yesterday, said that the issue ‘s far beyond the question as to whether there is a stable government in the islands.” “The question now seems to be,” he added, “whether the Filipino people, actir one, would be able to repel an aggression and whether their resources are sufficiently developed to finance the independent government.” “The nations, even the most mili- taristic, understand that in this age, trade and commercial benefits cannot be realized by force of arms,” Mr. Guevara sald. “I wish to say that the American people have already won the “friendship, good will and sympathetic co-operation’ of the Filipinos, and that the future would be secure, so far both countries are concerned, when the volitical status of the Philippines is permanently settled.

GERMANY AND BELGIUM FORGET WAR-TIME HATE Former Mayor of Louvain Says His Country Believes Losers’ Penalty Is Sufficient. By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, February 26.—War hatred between Belgium and Germany has been forgotten, Senator Alfred Nerinex, mayor of Louvain during the war, said on his arrival here yester- day. Senator Nerinex comes as head of the Anglo-American Commission on Arbitration, and was on his way to Washington. “We realize,” he said, “that Ger- many_lost the war, and this humilla- tion, coupled with the fact that she must pay, 1s sufficient punishment, we believe. Therefore we are helping Germany get on her feet, and are now trading with her again.” Although he said he could not talk of the questions he will discuss with officials in Washington, the Senator was anxious to dispel what he termed “erroneous impressions” about Bel- glum's progress since the war. He denied that the Belgians were not dolng their share to rebuild their country. “Belgium is now two-thirds to three- fourths rebuilt,” he said, “and most of this has been done by the people themselve: HATPIN LAW DOOMED.

La Salle Spler, one of the most tai- ented pianists of Washington, domi- nated the second program of the Washington Chamber Music Ensem- ble at the Playhouse last night in the triple role of director, performer and composer. The most brilliant num- ber was Franz Schubert's “Forellen Quintet in A Major,” for piano, violin, viola, cello and double bass. Mr. Spler's work in the florid piano pas- sages was delightful with clear ar- peggios, rich chords and fine pre- cisfon of attack. The many oppor- tunities for piano display in the fourth movement, in which the theme was first announced by the strings, then taken and elaborated by piano alone; then, in turn, embroldered by each other instrumAnt in solo or com- bination, were skillfully done by Mr. Spler, Mr. Sokolov, Mr. Feldman, Mr. Lorleberg, and Mr. Newell, who played the sprightly varlations with colorful interpretation and admirable unity in the ensemble numbers.

In the other instrumental Alexander Borodin's “Quartet in D Major,” the National Quartet showed good progress over their work in the January concert with more sureity of co-ordination and smoother execution, Gretchen Hood Sings. A novel feature of the performance was the presentation of a cycle of six songs, written by Mr. Spier and sung by Gretchen Hood, soprano, with string quartet and plano accompani- ment. Mr. Spier showed much ambi tion in choosing Robert Brown “Pippa Passes” to which to another musical setting. One of the most popular songs in' the literature of the concert and choral stage today is Mrs. H. H. A. Beach’s arrangement of “The Year's at the Spring,” second in the cycle. Her's is sa beautiful and 50 weel known that it is difficult to adjust one’s ideas to any other musical setting for these words. Mr Spier has .attempted many unusual effects in this group with minor col- oring In spite of the joyous Spring time mood of the verses.
