BEST MUSIC HELD SPREAD BY RADIO = Danllrosch Says Mechanical Progress Makes Finest Artists Available. Walter Damrosch, one of Americas best Enown, omposérs and musicul di- Tectors, finds the radio an_outstanding edium for lnrudmr €00d music among ‘masses. ils "the story in the Howine articie. BY WALTER DAMROSCH. (Copyright, 1931, by the Associated Press.) NEW YORK, June 25.—To the mechanical improvements in radio dur- ing the last few years we owe much of the progress that has been made in the broadcast- ing of the better type of music. " Many of the great artists who are now to be heard almost daily over the air would undoubtedly have been less readily won over to this new medium had not such a high state of tech- nical ‘perfection been achieved. Certainly the ap- preciation of the radio public for fine orchestras, ensem- bles and solo artists would not have reached its present magnitude were the transmission of subtle musical effects| less exact. Progress in Transmission. For the past five years I have been intimately connected with radio as a medium for disseminating the higher | forms of music. During that period | enormous progress has been made in | the development of microphones, loud speakers and methods of transmission. Previous to that the tone produced by radio was often distorted. The in- struments of the orchestra lost their Walter Damrosch. individual charm through faulty trans- mission. The result was a general distortion of the effects which the com- poser sought to create through the different instrumental choirs of the orchestra. No wonder, then, that radio was origi- nally given over almost exclusively to the cruder forms of dance music and that little effort was made to broadcast the type of music that is dependent cn finesse and subtle color effects for iY-S‘ ppeal and beauty. ow all this is magically transformed. Radio of the higher type can and does produce almost all of the finer shades of music. I have cften been ravished hearing a string quartet perform one of the beautiful Beethoven quartets over the air. Almost daily the greatest mu- sical artists appear before the micro- phone. Orchestral and ensemble music of a caliber that was formerly available only to people living in the great met- litan centers is now the common privilege of the many millions who are within range of a loud speaker. Advertisers Have Duty. Radio has, therefore, become one of the most remarkable mediums for the nmmmfi‘of real music among the masses that has ever been dreamed of. ‘This new power and possibility imposes @& solemn duty on the pi ors of " "catholtc | Cotton Trade Association at the Colo- | the duty of those commercial concerns WILL HOLD RECEPTION Filipino Catholic Association to Bunor Mr. and Mrs. Balco. e Filipino Catholic Association of America will hold a reception and dance in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Macario 8.

By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, June 25.—The United States and its 3,000,000 bales of cotton, con- trolled by the Cotton Stabilization Cor- poration and cotton co-operative asso- ciations, were the disturbi factors at today’s closing session of the Interna- tional Cotton Congress. The United States Federal Farm Board was appealed to in a resolution, voted by delegates from 20 nations, to announce a definite program for the disposal of cotton stocks. The resolu- tion says: “This _congress respectfully appeals to the Federal Farm Board that, as a corrective measure to its recent inter- vention, it should announce a definite program whereby the said cotton will be sold outright dfllly in stated amounts that will not be large enough to disturb the market. “Moreover, it is the considered opin- jon of the congress that no fixed price should be set, and that the cotton should be sold daily in fixed amounts such as will give the various co-operative asso- ciations the average price for the period during which such cotton is marketed.” Delegates to the congress last night attended a dinner given by the French nial Exposition and presided over by Commerce Minister Rollin. After the banquet there was a parade of mannequins dressed in costumes made entirely of cotton. DEFENSE MINISTER OUT I CANBERRA, Australia, June 25 (#). —Minister of Defense Culley in the commonwealth cabinet resigned yester- day in protest against the country’s eco- nomic measures, especially those in- volving reductions in pensions wages and expenditures for social service. Assistant Minister of Industry Hollo- way left office 10 days ago on a similar protest. — e music over the air.
