Squ Grand C —— e A GREAT BEGINNING The tumult of applause and re- peated demands for encores that characterized the first attraction of the Civic Music Association in this city yesterday spoke eloguently for the success of the venture. It un- questionably was a triumph for the ideals upon which the association stands. Sceptics—and there have been many—who from t} thought that it would be impos to compete culturally with the sis- ter city ten miles up the pike, had an awakening that bodes nothing but good for the future. T tion Wwas 80 supreme among memn- bers of the association that the rep- utation of the Music Association as may satisfac- a provider of the finest of attrac- tions at cne fell swoop has gone many points above par. Oue of life's little ironies | doubtedly came to our own Car-| mela Ponselle, who prior to her ar- rival in the city did not know who would be on the program with her. | As is well known, she substituted at this first concert for Nanette Guil- ford, the sensational operatic suc- | cess who will appear here at the second concert instead of the first. Carmela found herself on the same platform with Rudolph Ganz, world- famed Swiss pianist—which was something like being on the same | program with Rachmaninoff or Pa- derewski himself. It turned out that Ganz made a tremendous impres- sion. It many not be often that sonz- | birds are confronted with such stage competition on the part of an in- strumentalist, but the Nutmeg girl, after recovering from the first sur- prise of the encounter, acquitted herself splendidly. The final tribute Ganz Paid to the intelligence of the local | audience will be a morsel of pride | for many a day.-On his program he had one of the greatest of Becthoven | sonatas, the tremendous Appassion- | ata. This, he explained later, is usu- | ally too vast a composition for the | small cities, but in New Britain it | was the most admired’ number on the program. Playing for such an | appreciative audience it was natu | that the artist enjoyed giving the finest possible ation. That | it took the audience “by storm” is a splendid tribute to the city's dis- | un- | which interpre cerning music lovers, who certain- ly showed conclusively that they know their art more than cursorily | well. It also was a tribute to the depth and umapproachable grandeur of Beethoven, a master whose genius continues to touch our hearts even during an age supposed to be super- ficial and supe There may be som:« the world, but they “vident among the ophisticated people were such in not Io music s of this city THE RIFT IN THE The tions has new allocation of ra had a day to show fts mettle and this short time is too slight to indicale value te the public.

But this new scheme would cost the government $1,200,000,000 a year at the start, rising to $2,000 000,000 & year in 1936. This, too, when put . ‘IMB English shillings will look vast- ly bigger than it does to American eyes.

Circulation Looks and press to its other socialistic ventures. Al- {ready in England. there are at least 115,000,000 persons protected by the | uation by the exercise of political | €overnmént fgom ill-health, acci- | | motives in its law-making. 1t is as dent, unemployment, old age, and | clear as static on a bad night that state life insurance. Only a short |time ago widows between 65 and 70 ‘were put on the government pay roll Ifor old age pensions amounting to 50 a week each for the remainder |of their lives, these already ‘totalling | 450,000 . such persons. War pensions also draw heavily upon the government funds. One out (of every 26 persons in England is drawing a war pension, total of 1,665,000 individuals re. [celving such funds. A curious phase of this situation is that 25,000 are the remainder including 482,000 widows and parents, 186,000 wives, 481,000 chil- dren and 1,100 nurses. It is a miracle of modern state Tt is a matter of common knowl- edge that there has been developed much bitterness among some Demo- crats regarding the result. Especiglly is this true in the New England where Massachusetts and'} Rhode Island after giving all they ' had to the Democratic presidential candidate found that the Solid Bouth cracked under the strain. Democrats | in New England thought, at such a time, the least the Solid South could do was to stay as solid as tvory. It is belicved that Governor Smith will devote the keynote of his speech to a plea for upbuilding the Demo- | cratic party on the foundation of | the huge popular vote in the election. « states, it received “SOCIALISM” IN ENGLAND Parliament in action in England lends interest to the remarkable fs- sues that face the British electorate | and which in the near future are | destined to become the fundamen- | tals in a national election. Recently the Conservative party m England, which. happens to be in power, made a gesture toward that increase in “state’ sociallsm” which it is decmed advisable to grasp in view of the economic difficulties | with which the nation Is wrestling, The Con party approved the principle ‘of state pensions for | all persons more than 65 years of | ervative age. It perhaps would defy the im- | agination of an American to discern | how a party calling itself “conserva- * could adopt such a platform | plank, as we would call it. Exped- | iency governs, however, in politics: | and in a nation where state social- ism is so rapidly taking hold through the, regular parties the Conservative party managers doubtless feel they | must make concessions to the popu- | lar trend in political thought. For years several classes of peo- tive" ple have obtained maintenance at | the hands of the government in Eng chief being and, among these these receiving the “dole” for une ployed persons. Despite the eriti- | cism which has been léveled at’the | system at home and abroad, no oth- er method has heen found to solve the problems incident to British un- employment; lcast of all have Amer- ican critics of the dole system been | able to offer a substitute. The fruth | is that no political party in England | advice of some erit- | ics were followed, advice which in | bald terms is reducable to “let them | conld live.if the The poor law in England is an. | other socialistic measure that geems lestined to rom This law on the statu in permanently up- economics where England gets the money to pay for all its socialistic ventures. And before one ceases to wonder, one is confronted with !lnl historic fact that Great Britain vol- untarily made the most liberal of our debt settlement agreements. To be sure, old John Bull rubs the tax- es on terribly thick; Britishers, look- ing toward America, say it practic- ally is tax free. The way England does it is to “soak the rich” and to *soak those who have it." That, in effect, is the socialistic principle made under- standable. But England does not claim to be enamored with the prin- ciples of Karl Marx; it claims mere- ly to be doing what it must do to muddle along. Rather than yield a disapproving eye one tannot help in- clining 'to marvel how it gets through the morass of post-war dif- ficulties as well as it happens to be doing. This natlon, it must be re- membered, was the only one in Eu- rope whose currency did not flop during post-war inflation. 10 YEARS OF TALK Talk without action seems to have its apotheosis in New Haven. For | 40 years, the eminent Journal-Cour- ier of that city says, i: talk of constructing a new city hall. Two generations ago the present building was regarded as failing to fulfill the civic needs; the building was dubbed ugly, unsanitary, small and nearly unsafe. But for 40 years nothing has been done about it. Now Mayor .Tully has brought forward the suggestion that a bond issue be floated for the construction of a new civic building; more public hearings are suggested, too, in spite of the t that public hearings about it have been held for 40 years. The trouble in New Haven is.that cach generation produces & new crop of “objectors, of economizers who believe it is a waste of money to {let the city make needed capital in- vestment. In vain.is it pointed out that had the city 40 years ago in- vested in a downtown lot the new city hall coiild have been constructed from the proceeds. Disgusted, the Journai-Courier opines that if there is to be another city Tall agitation it be short and sweet, “We want something else to enliven the interests of this news- paper for the next 40 years,” it pet- ulantly postulates. Alas, there are eitizens everywhere who look at things through the wrong end of the binocuiars.
