PAGE TWO TOSCANINI TO RETURN Long acclaimed as the world’s great- est orchestra conductor, Arturo Toscanini recently concinded a brilliant series of con- certs by the NBC symphony orchestra, és- pecially organized for radio broadcasting, and is said to have signed a new three- year contract with the same organization. The eminent conductor was bern in Parma, Italy, and will be 71 years old on March 25. He began his orchestral career as a ’cello player after graduating from the conservatory of his home city. ile first appeared as a conductor in Rio do Janeiro at the age of 19, when he directed a performance of the opera “Aida” after the regular conductor quit the company. It is said that young Tos- canini threw aside the musical score and conducted the opera from memory. In 1908 Toscanini became a conduc- tor of the Metropolitan Opera in New | York, remaining through 1914. He con- ducted most of the concerts of the New York Philharmonic-Symphony fer ten years, beginning in 1926. For a number of years he has conducted great summer musical festivals ir Europe.

Such a boycott would serve only ‘to proveke great resentment in Japan, and : would not in the slightest change her course. It would be a futile act of irritating without restraining. It-would further sow seeds of hate and pessibly Jead us into war. As Major George Fielding Eliot, for- | mer military intelligence officer, recently wrote: “Embargo and boycott are tanta- mount to bieckade. And blockade means war and will be countered by war.” it would be ghastly irony if the well-mean- ing activities of some peace societies should really hasten war, instead of preventing it. From an economic standpoint, it might well be*’remembered that Japan is u# third best customer among ali the nations, and buys far more from us than we do frem | her, taking vast quantities of our cotton and oil, which so desperately need ex- , panded foreign markets just now. The feregoing is in no sense a defense of the methods employed by Japan in cer- tain phases of her campaign in China. But | a boycott would be a feeble gesture of dis- approval at most, and would bring a re- taliatory beycett ef American commodi- ties, continuing long after the present war China -bas passed into histary.
