Allied Pact Will Ease Post-War Settlement . . T HE AGREEMENT signed by Great Britain and the United States in Washington Tuesday represents an encouraging stride toward a successful post-war economic readjustment throughout the world. It raises the hope that the mistake of economic nation- alism, with its trade barriers and high tariffs, made after the first World War, will not -be repeated. Principle purpose of the new pact is making real the economic aims of the Atlantic Charter. The fifth point of that historic document em- phasized the desire of the United States and GreatBritain "to bring about the fullest collab- oration between all nations in the economic field with the object of securing, for all, improved labor standards, economic advancement and social security." The fulfillment of the Charter's promise of free access to the world's resources and trade to every nation will also be made more feasible by the Allied economic plan. THE PACT, as signed by Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles and British Ambassador Viscount Halifax, according to the Associated Press calls for an "elimination of all forms of discriminatory treatment in international com- merce, and the reduction of tariffs." It also lists expansion of production, exchange and con-. sumption of goods as another objective. Furthermore, a basis for the settlement of lend-lease accounts is provided. Any material that can be returned, and that the United States wants, will be sent back to this country. Any other final settlement "shall be such as not to burden commerce between the two countries, but to promote mutually advantageous economic relations between them and the betterment of world-wide economic relations." It is apparent that this pact will ease the post- war economic problem. If it is entered into and carried out by all the United Nations, another period of stagnation in international commerce like that following the last war will not again be possible. Tariff wars and the resulting world economic depressions can be avoided. ALSO ELIMINATED is a potential conflict over lend-lease debts. Under the terms of the agreement any debts may be settled without disrupting commerce and friendly international relations. For many years British-American relations have been clouded by the specter of the war debts of the 1914-18 conflict. The new economic agreement between United States and Great Britain is indeed a gratifying and significant move. It is such a step as this that adds concrete support to the oft-expressed claim that a lasting world reorganization will follow this war. - George W. SalIad6 'Night-Riding Vigilantes' Only Obstruct Justice. SOME OF sunny California's more cloudy-minded citizens have taken it upon themselves to act as private extermi- nators of the "fifth column." An asparagus workers' camp was attacked by six men who wounded one Jap and robbed six others. A Japa- WASHINGTON-In view of the fact that President Roosevelt once made a great national issue over keeping "Nine Old Men" on the Su- preme CQurt, The Washington Merry-Go-Round has suggested that the President might consis- tently dispense with the "Four Old Men" in his cabinet-Secretaries Hull, Stimson, Knox and Jones-all around seventy, who hold important war jobs. (This is the tlird column in the series on the "Four Old Men."-Ed.) For a man who has spent his life in the news- paper profession and is one of America's fore- most publishers, Secretary of the Navy Knox certainly has a tough time with his press rela- tions.. IN the same week that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Frank Knox was out on the newsstands with an American Magazine cover proclaiming to the American public: "We Can Defend Ourselves In Two Oceans." And now, a few weeks later, Mr. Knox an- nounces: "We've an awful lot of bread to butter, and it will have to be buttered very thin." A public relations bull like this might be con- sidered just bad luck, if it hadn't happened so often. But after demanding that the American press not divulge the operations of American air- planes and personnel cooperating with the Brit- ish before we were in the war, the good Colonel came out with an article in Collier's disclosing that an American naval observer was present in the American-built plane which sighted the Bismarck. Again, after it had been officially announced that the U. S. destroyer Greer was attacked first by,, a Nazi submarine, Secretary Knox's Navy Department sent a letter to the Senate stating that the Greer was helping a British airplane pursue the submarine. Knox Smells Newsprint COLONEL KNOX'S chief trouble is that as an old newspaperman he is just too anxious to burst into print. He can smell a good story blocks away and when he does so the old fire comes into his eyes and he isn't happy until he makes the next edition. (Of course we can sympathize with him on this; but we are run- ning a column, not the Navy.) Perhaps this is the explanation for the Colo- nel's publicity gyrations in connection with battleship launchings. U. S. Naval Intelligence would like to know whether the Nazi battleships Friedrich der Grosse and Hindenburg have been launched. If our Navy knew that, it would know how many battleships it would station in the Atlantic to meet them. However, the Axis doesn't have to worry about checking on our battleships. For when a U. S. battleship is launched, Secretary.Knox gets out the champagne and the radio speeches, and makes sure that the entire world knows about it. It saves the Nazis and the Japanese a lot of money and trouble on Intelligence work. And yet, when British warships arrived in U. S. harbors, Colonel Knox demanded that the American press hush up the facts, even though everyone around the waterfront knew all about them. RECO 0R DS Pianistics, Old and New - Chopin To Rachmaninoff RACHMANINOFF-Concerto No. 1, in F Sharp minor-Sergei Rachmaninoff with Philadel- phia Orchestra under Ormandy (Victor). This is the least frequently performed of Rach- maninoff's concertos, and unjustly so. The mu- sic is powerful and sincere, and it is motivated throughout by the restless rhythms characteris- tic of nearly all of Rachmaninoff's great orches- tral compositions. This first recording of the work is well-done and clearly recorded. With the composer at the piano, the work is assured of authenticity. CHOPIN WALTZES-played by Alexander Brailowsky (Victor)-The release of two vol- umes of Chopin's music-all of his waltzes-as played by one of the foremost living interpreters of Chopin's music, is certainly an important musical event. The two albums include fourteen record sides and are played to perfection by this great mas- ter of the piano. Of the single Red Seal records released this month, one stands out-the well-liked Rosen- kavalier Waltzes of Richard Strauss, as recorded by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Or- chestra. The Boston "Pops" Orchestra has re- corded Oh, Susannah! and Sally In Our Alley with rather elaborate orchestrations, for no apparent reason, and the result is an uninter- esting and unsuitable hodgepodge of musical tomfoolery. f- D. L. doing a very efficient job. All that the vigi- lantes can accomplish is a disruption of the legal police work. Such intrusion on the rights of men as has been taking place in California will only detract from the real usefulness loyal Americans of enemy descent can have for the war effort. We have Japanese soldiers in our armies. We have Japanese workers in our factories-we might have many more doing us real service, but we cannot get them by attacking them in the night. TPmur wn'ri piHne Awould mend their time Admirals Hate Him :T should not be held against Knox that some of the admirals hate him. The admirals are usually resentful of any civilian secretary of the Navy, and sometimes the measure of their dis- like is a gauge of his ability. In the case of Colonel Knox, however, the re- sentment is partly over the Colonel's untimely publicity, partly over the political appointments. There is a lot of grumbling over the fact that Jules James, nephew of Secretary of War Stim- son, was promoted to be an admiral; that Ad- miral Wilson Brown was jumped from White House aide to superintendent of the Naval Academy, and that the President's naval aides usually graduate to lush posts. These promo- tions may not be Knox's fault, but he gets the blame. King Vs. Knox Of late there is one section of the Navy De- partment virtually barred to Knox, even though he is Secretary of the Navy. This is the wing of the building ruled by Admiral King, Com- mander of the United States Fleet. THIS PART of the Navy functions entirely on its own-even has its own kitchen in case officers have to work all night. No civilians are permitted to enter. And if the Secretary of the Navy wants to get by the marine standing on guard, he has to telephone in advance. King and Knox go through the motions of observing the amenities, but there is no love lost between them. In ordinary peace times, Knox would be a reasonably good Secretary of the Navy. But to- day, when a slip can be disastrous, and when coordinated unity is needed more than ever before, the rough-riding, tough-talking Colonel is a misfit. Perhaps realizing this, Knox several times has told the President he wanted to resign. (Another in the series of columns on the "Four Old Men" will appear soon.) Democrats In A.Hole' Bald, tobacco-chewing Representative Reid F. Murray, Wisconsin Republican, stole the show at hearings before the House Civil Service Com- mittee on repeal of "pensions for Congress." Murray brought chuckles by a candid admis- sion that he wanted to see the Democratic ad- ministration "take the blame" for the unpopular legislation. Democratic Representative Guy L. Moser of Pennsylvania promptly accepted the challenge. "If you're so hot against pensions for Con- gress," demanded Moser, "and want to put the Democrats in a hole, why haven't you yourself introduced a repeal bill?" "Oh, come now, Congressman," retorted Mur- ray. "There's such a thing as carrying dema- goguery too far." FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1942 VOL. LI.

Debussy, Excerpts from The Children's Suite. Miscellaneous improvisations, etc. W ITH ALL THE FUSS and commotion which is at the present time being made concern- ing the conserving of electricity it seems rather foolish that so much of it was wasted last night by the bright lights of Hill Auditorium; Mr. Templeton could just as well have appeared in some night club which would be using the elec- tricity anyway, in the milieu in which he began and for which his type of entertainment is most suitable. Playing before an audience which was most ungenteel in clanking of knitting needles, gum-chewing, coughing, and impolite restless- ness during the first, and serious half of the eve- ning, Mr. Templeton passed from this serious music to what is obviously his most congenial medium, improvisation, mimicry, the exploita- tion of the jazz idioms, in short, musical bur- lesque. Inasmuch as burlesque is not within the scope of this department we will proceed to a discussion, of the first part of the program. Mr. Templeton is possessed o'f a fine technique and at times does some excellent playing, yet it is obvious that as a concert pianist he is but mediocre. Technically his main fault lies in his tone, which lacks depth and is often coarse and unpleasant; in all fairness to him, this should be partly blamed on one of the most annoyingly voiced pianos we have ever heard in concert, one which also had a thin and unresonant tone. Some of the more intense passages were some- what reminiscent of hail on a tin roof. The Handel and Bach numbers which opened the program were done with good style and feeling for the classicists, though they could have had more subtlety of dynamic change and somewhat fuller tone quality. The Franck "Prelude, Chorale and Fugue," the finest composition on the program, was the most poorly played. The entire composition lacked the subjective expression of Franck; Mr. Templeton did not at all realize the impression- ist spirit and style. Instead of the melting to- gether of the voices to form a luscious homo- geneity. with the thematic material vaguely seen and felt in the sensuous harmony, it was notey and harsh, with obviousness of melody ani no balance or musical coordination between the hands. The Chorale especially suffered from boredom, and almost completely ruinous to the magnificent iie was thep nianist's: hreakoAn " Lar c 4 p A L l 1 ,. and 9211(1 for an men with some metallurgical train-r ing for duties as inspectors on warc materials.
