Neutrality
And 'The Nation'.
man of Europe." And that any government
through its diplomacy, may force another gov-
ernment to declare war on it, and so fight
a "defensive" war.
But Villard, too, becomes impractical when
he suggests an embargo against both sides in a
European war. That is economically impossible.
And fraught with political obstacles.
A less idealistic and more practical plan is
"cash and carry." The editors of The Nation
make a valid objection to a complete embargo
on the ground that it "would be an open invita-
tion to Hitler to launch an attack, since the
latter knows full well the dependence of Britain
and France on American supplies." But this ob-
jection does not apply to "cash and carry." For
Britain will undoubtedly control the seas in
the next war.
Further "cash and carry" does not mean that
Britain would have to pay for her goods in gold.
Just as in peacetime she would sell us goods,
establish credit here, and then buy our commod-
ities in return.
Practicality limits both idealistic, extremes:
strict "neutrality," where we would help neither
belligerent and "collective security," where .
would align ourselves with England and France.
America must take the middle course offered
by "cash and carry."
ART
American Scene
By HARRY BETHKE
SOME TIME AGO a group of progressive artists
in New York were sufficiently moved by com-
mon interests to organize the American Artists'
Congress. Their avowed intent was a dual one.
They were determined to capture something of
the spirit of contemporary America by re-estab-
lishing the necessary, dynamic kinship between
art and the social world. Secondly, they meaI 0
to take some of the snobbery out of art by gently
removing some of it out of the hands of the
dilettante patron and giving it back where it
belongs-to the people.
Since that time the movement has spread and
proved itself capable of fulfilling its purpose.
We have witnessed a whole series of masterly
and beautiful graphic prints by members of
the Congress. Now, for the first time in Ann
Arbor, Alumni Memorial Hall features an exhibit
made up entirely of paintings by artists of the
same group.
At first glimpse the pictures seem widely un-
related, for the exhibit is made up of a curious
conglomerate of styles and techniques. But it
soon becomes apparent that all of the artists are
deeply engrossed in an identical subject. That
subject is America here and now.
ESPECIALLY interesting are the works of
several Michigan artists. Detroit's Edgar
Yaeger is represented by "Dressmaker's Shop,"
a genre subject in his typical, wierd style. Mr.
Yaeger evidently seeks to express by means of an
abstract organization some mystic and hidden
harmony he feels underlying his subject. And
yet one cannot help feeling in his overdrawn
distortion that he defeats his own purpose and
becbmes unfortunately meaningless. Another
Michigan artist in the show, one whose work
is always more than welcome, is Jean-Paul
Slusser. It is certainly pleasing to find that
his oil, "Dawn," in its plastic and colorful inter-
pretation of a typical American scene, loses
nothing of the freshness and spontaneity of his
well-known water-colors.
Many other variants of the American scene are
shown. Henry Bernstein is represented by two
Negro paintings which go unentitled because
they speak for themselves. Barbara Willson's
"Still Life" is an ironic study in contrasts, and
Joe Jones' "Sharecropper's Family" and Ernest
Fiene's "The Passing Scene" are both exception-
ally fine paintings in unusually beautiful colors.
Yet perhaps the finest painting in the entir,
exhibit is William Fanning's sunlit scene along a
sea-wall.
It is to be hoped that the American Artists'
Exhibit will attract the attention it deserves.
All in all the Congress has proved its ability to
maintain in its paintings the same high stand-
ards of quality that it has established in its
graphic prints.
THEFRUM
'Liberal'
To the Editor:
The emotional letter of Mr. N. Rosten in the
Forum, May 6, deserves the most severe criti-
cism. The letter, written, I suppose by a "liberal,"
was full of irrational statement of autistic think-
ing which is a direct contradiction of the true
liberal appeal to reason. I propose to examine
the most important parts of the letter with
the purpose of demonstrating its irrational, emo-
tional basis._
The third paragraph begins, "Because right
this minute thousands of students are in the
cold trenches fighting for those democratic prin-
ciples which we so blandly inherited." In the
first place, how can they fight for the democratic
principles which I have inherited? And what as-
surance is there that the Ldyalists will establish
a democratic government? How can war-torn
Spain expect anything but a dictatorship in the
event of victory by either side?
In the next sentence he. says, "Fascism is
death to culture." This would indicate that
culture is dependent upon the political system,
a belief that cannot be supported. Date the
letter 1917 and substitute "Kultur" for fascism.
Farther in this paragraph, "If fascism wins
anywhere in the world, what goes up in smoke
is ntrhans a strrihl as the loss of flesh

to the radio in the Gamma Phi house.
Mary and several of her close friends main-
tained an almost constant radio vigil for spas-
modic reports of the flight.
Mary maintained that she knew Jack would
complete the record-smashing attempt safely
and be back at his co-pilot's job on Eastern Air-
lines within the week.
The sisterhood replied in chorus, "We don't
blame them a bit" when asked what they thought

TROUBLE, trouble and more trouble has beset
the powers which manage the 'tnsian
and held up distribution until next week. It
would appear as how the printer started his
presses backwards and smashed the plates of
some of the most important cuts in the books.
Then when the original pictures were mailed to
enable the engravers to make duplicate cuts, the
package was lost in the mail and failed to~
turn up for several days.
Now the difficulty would seem cleared away
and the road clear for promoters Dannemiller
and Strickland to walk out of the University with
the biggest bonus paid to publications men since
the golden pre-depression era.
but symbolism is not reason, word pictures are
not facts.
"The duty of the student is crystal clear if
he has any cultural evaluation of civilization."
An appeal to our desire to feel ourselves to be
cultured students, a statement that his logic
is crystal clear. Similar amethods are found in
"Your cooperation against fascism-should
spring from the deep and sincere feeling that a
'true' student holds toward artistic and intellec-
tual freedom."
"We but extend ourselves in time and fight
for our own preservation and the preservation
of Michigan University." An appeal to the
prime instinct of self-preservation also drawing
upon the emotional associations of our univer-
sity. "Imagine a possible time when these valuer
(Shakespeare and MacLeich) will be forbidden
to you." Yes, imagine that time and then take
Mr. Rosten's word that we must defeat the
rebels in order to forestall it.
And then the age-old propaganda device, an
atrocity story. "I'll tell you something about
DeFalla. He was captured by fascist rebels and
witnessed these murderers torture his sculptor-
friend Lorka to death. He went insane from
the ordeal." He says, "I'll tell you." Did he
see it? Did McKenzie see it? Did anyone see it?
Or is it a story like the German glue factories
whe'e they boileddown enemy bodies?
The educator has a moral obligation to aid the
student in the development of his intelligence.
The student has a moral obligation to apply
that intelligence. Who has neglected his ethical
responsibility, educator or student? Is it time
that we substituted a "wish to find out" for Will
James' "will to believe."
I am not a fascist. I believe myself to be
liberal, and I sincerely desire the Spanish Loyal-
ists to win. But I do object to being told that

A Review
SECOND CONCERT
The thrilling performances of Wag-
ner which Kirsten Flagstad instituted
Wednesday evening were continued
in the second concert last night by
the great Wagnerian tenor, Lauritz
Melchior, the University Choral
Union, Glee Club, and Lyra Male
Chorus, and the Philadelphia Orches-
tra, with Eugene Ormandy and Earl
V. Moore conducting. Mr. Melchior,
with Mr. Ormandy conducting, was
heard in the Prize Song from Die
Meistersinger, the First Forging Song
from Siegfried, and the companion
encore to that of Mme. Flagstad the
previous evening-Siegmund's Love
Song, from the first act of Die Wal-
kure. After the intermission Dr.
Moore conducted the choruses and
soloist in excerpts from each of the
three acts of Parsifal.
Mr. Melchior's deep tenor voice and
superb dramatic power were at their
height in the climactic scene from
the second act of Wagner's "sacred
drama." It might not be amiss to
point out, apropos of numerous crit-
icisms heard during both evenings,
that Wagner uses the voice as the su-
preme instrument of the ensemble
-not as an accompanied soloist-and
that therefore it is not to be expected
that the orchestra will remain con-
tinually in the background as it
would in a Mozart aria. At times Mr.
Melchior's voice was distinguishable
only as another sound in the general
ensemble, and at others it soared in-
spiringly above. In either case the
dramatic effect was as the composer
intended.
The Choral Union and the orches-
tra, conducted by Dr. Moore, also pre-
sented the first American perform-
ance of Eric Fogg's The Seasons. This
work is an effective and highly pleas-
ing piece of seasonal painting, in
which the voices are again used, for
the most part, instrumentally rathe
than vocally. There were certain
passages, notably ' in the "summer"
movement, which did not seem of
great interest, but the work as a
whole, and the last two movements
in particular, is possessed of a great
deal of beauty and vitality. The
work of the choruses in this, as in
Parsifal, was in general excellent, and
Dr. Moore deserves much praise for
his coordination of the entire en-
semble.
Last in point of space, but first on
the program and in immaculate per-
formance was the Leonore Overture
No. 3 of Beethoven, which received
an inspiringly dramatic rendition at
the hands of Mr. Ormandy and the
virtuosi in the orchestra.
Program Notes
FIFTH CONCERT
(Saturday, May 15, 2:30 p.m.)
Symphony No. 2, in D major-Beet-
hoven. The year 1802 in Beethoven's
life saw the creation of two docu-
ments of outstanding importance.
Onewas the Second Sympony; the
other was that remarkable expression
of an agonized soul known to the
world as "Beethoven's Will." But,
though the certainty of his oncoming
deafness filled Beethoven with an in-
tolerable misery which he poignantly
disclosed in the "Will," no hint of
his state of mind is to benfound in
the pages of the genial, light-heart-
ed Symphony which was the product
of that same period.
Following the classic custom, the
Symphony opens with a broad, im-
passioned introduction, creating a.
sense of expectancy which resolves
into the vigor and incisiveness of the
main theme of the movement. This
emphasis of rhythm and tonal-
ity is sustained in the subordinate
theme as well, and the whole first
movement is brisk and energetic, with
no relenting touch of sentiment. The
absence of the latter is atoned for,
however, in the genuine lyricism and
elegance of the second movement.
The third movement-which is the
first symphonic movement actually to
be labelled "scherzo"-does not move
so swiftly or so boisterously as some
of the other of Beethoven's scherzos,
but there is humor and jollity in it
nevertheless. The finale, with its
abrupt, capricious main t h e m e,
shocked the bigwigs of 1802; today it
seems merely the expression of an
uproarious good humor-a mood
which must have been foreign to the
composer's personal existence at the
time, and so found an outlet in his
music.
Concerto for Violin and Orchestra
in A major-Mozart. Although Moz-
art as a player is remembered prin-
cipally for his extraordinary skill
upon the clavier, he was also a violin-
ist of more than average ability. The
A major is the last of five concertos
written all in the year 1775, probably
for the composer's own use.
The Concerto is in the customary
three movements, marked "Allegro
aperto," "Adagio," and "Tempo di
Menuetto." The first movement is
the most elaborate, with constant
alternation between solo and tutti
>assages and concluding with a ca-
denza. The second movement is of
the simple, tuneful, cantilena type,
and the third movement is a rondo
with characteristics of a menuet.
"Tzigane," Rhapsody for Violin and
Orchestra-Rovel. This rhapsodic
collection of gypsy airs and rhythms
was written in 1924, originally for
violin and piano-lutheal-the latter
heina n a+ttophmen+ hy which a iann

FLAMES in Spain have molded the
problems of peace, fascism, and
American "neutrality" policy into one complete
mhass. And many liberals, suffering from wishful
thinking together with certain personal predi-
lections, have become truly "muddled" therefrom.
Conspicuous examples, one on the precipice of
collective security and the other on the limb
of idealistic pacifism are the editors of The
Nation and Oswald Garrison Villard. A synthesis
of the valid ideas of both make it clear that
America's best chance for peace lies in a "cash
and carry" policy.
The editors of The Nation believe that "the
duty of the realistic pacifist is to choose the
course that offers the best chance of strengthen-
ing the forces of democracy in Europe." They
call this "collective security"; but it resolves it-
self into the establishment of a "balance of
power" much like that of 1914.
This policy means active cooperation of the
United States with France and England in an
attempt to restrain Germany and Italy. It
means basing our hopes for peace on the belief
that our alignment against them will instill fear
in German and Italian hearts.
No one can answer the question of whether
a balance of power with America on the side of
England and France would preserve peace in
Europe. But it is clear that in any event this
policy of "collective security" means that if
Hitler or Mussolini should break loose this nation
must be willing to fight beside the European de-
mocracies and send its soldiers abroad again.
To this Villard objects and with this objection
we concur. He points out, and this the editors
of The Nation do not deny, that "if we do
get into the next war, it will mean the disap-
pearance of our democracy. The laws now on
the statute books and those pending in Congress
today guarantee that ...
"The way to save deiocracy is for us to keep it
intact in the United States, prevent our democ-
racy from being turned into a war-time dicta-
torship, conserve its resources for the benefit not
only of our own people but of all the peoples
after hostilities have ceased. I want the United
States to remain a great reservoir of means and
strength, especially moral strength, available to
put the world on its feet after the next holy war."
But this is not the only objection Villard raises.
He denies "that it is the duty of the United States
to sit in judgment, like Jehovah, and then sacri-
fice its sons for the side it thinks right on the
basis of such little or such biased informa-
tion as is available in the hysteria and excite-
ment leading up to a war and after the war
censorships are clamped down."
How do we know, he asks, "that the cause
of the democracies will be any juster than that
of the Allies in 1914-17? . . . The excuse for
England was Belgium, but we know very well
now that the compelling reason was the desire
of the controlling class in democratic England to
