These two albums ge an Ameri- an release at an exceedingly op- ortune time-since New York and icinity, at least, had in mid-win- r a Sibelius renaissance, with his cores being played by Toscannini, tokowski and Koussevitsky and he critics, particularly Olin Dow- es, boosting Sibelius to first rank m o n g contemporary composers. ow these recordings (in part spon- >ored by the Finnish government) y a conductor chosen by Sibelus imself as his favorite interpreter hould extend the renaissance out f the metropolitan district. A certain frame of mind about Sibelius precipitated by the popu- Arity of his minor works-the ubi- uitous "Finlandia" and the "Vasc Triste" etc.- has obscured the sig- nificant fact that he is the only contemporary composer w r i t i n g convincingly in the grand style and in the grand tradition. Perhap since Brahms, the history of musi might be thought of as one of idio- matic expansion. And yet thi t e c h n i c a 11 y ultra-sophisticate music is relatively sterile and seem to have now left an impasse in the musical scene. The importance o Sibelius is that his achievement a least proves the possibility of re turning to the "gold standard" o: musical art-since nearly all hi work in the symphony falls into th German tradition .(he received hi musical education in Berlin). Yet despite the sobriety and conven tionality of his idiom, he is abl to fully and forcefully convey hi own original genius. Basic in that genius is the surg of a great race. For Sibelius i clearly the Norseman, preservinga well-defined r a c i a L, inheritance molded by geographical conditions Sibelius' music, even as early a these first two symphonies, is steep ed in the harshness of the North Almost literally it conveys th sweep of great winds across deso late plains, the loneliness and ter ror of long nights, and the sombr melancholy induced by this crue struggle for existence. These aspects of his racial inher itance had forced Sibelius int writing some crude, self-consciou nationalistic music with an attemp at too literal realism. But the rigi formal discipline of the classic sym phony seems to have liberated h imagination from these essenti vulgarities and enabled him b transmute the instincts of his rac into a profound and intense arti tic emotion-a feeling for the my tery and terror and inexplicab cruelty of existence forcing a gri dignity on man as the only mod of living. These musical pages hav a fine austerity and a forthrigl directness of passionate speec Pervading them all is a constraine and sombre melancholy-marve lously translated by Sibelius in orchestral terms by his thorough uncanny instinct for colors. The is none of the pitifully abandone lamentation of Tchaikovsky. In h "hard, naked essentiality" of e pression Sibelius' kinship is rath( with Moussorgsky, the inspired sing er of another race. This music swift, effortless, natural and inev table. There is nobility in this ur sophisticated certainty. And yet,: spite of all the revolution aroun him, this profound originality fused into clear-cut, almost el( mentary, classic form-an ach evement of considerable signif cance for contemporary music.

TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 1931 Night Editor - HAROLD WARREN SNOOPING IN GOVERNMENT It seems too bad that a governing body so perplexed with considera- tions of a genuinely serious nature and so troubled by problems which vitally concern the existence of the nation, should periodically be dis- utrbed by the accusations of a com- mittee whose only claim to exist- ence is a concession made at a time when it was necessary because o1 the press of business at hand. Yet this is exactly what has hap- pened to the Senate and this tim under the leadership of their brav Sir Galahad chairman; the Cam- paign Funds committee has chosen as the target for their slanderous accusations the executive director of the Republican National com- mittee, R o b e r t H. Lucas. The charges are concerned with the fight to defeat radical Senator Nor ris of Nebraska. And now, with th election over and Norris still secur in his position in the upper house of the United States government the Campaign Funds 'committee must continue to hunt up skeletons in the closet and to bring before the nation charges against the men who are responsible for the govern ment and to whom the p u b lic should look for their example in this work. Every Senator and every man in national offices of any kind ha: enough responsibility and enough work to occupy his entire capacity without being continually harassed by the charges of Senator Nye, bet- ter known as "Snoopy," and hi inane committee. No man can give his best efforts to the nation whe. he must be constantly refuting an disproving the assertions of former dishonesty and incorrect or irregu lar conduct long before he has shouldered the responsibility o government. Why is it necessary that a com mittee whose only object is contin ually to reincarnate long dea issues with the only possible resul iof casting an ugly scar on the repu tations of men in public offices continue its existence?

Since the beginning of time, cooking has been a family affair-each family for itself; a potful at a time. But the past decade has seen a great change. The old family cooking pot has gone the way of the old oaken bucket. And in its place is a new American phenoin- enon: the twelve-billion-dollar pot. In this pot, 55,000 factories are stewing and brewing and preparing most of your food... and yours .. and yours-an annual produc- tion of almost twelve billions of dollars. These 55,000 plants represent America's food industry. They are scattered throughout the nation. They make everything from canned the delectation of the public nourishment of the nation. palate, the foods to beverages,) meats. But in every one of them, a staff of technical experts is facing t'he same problems of production, is working for a common cause: from ice cream to packed Business men, industrialists and engi read the McGraw-Hill Publications.
