NIGHT EDIOR: GEORGE W. SALLADE
The editorials published in The Michigan
Daily are written by members of The Daily

CompIacency Is
Unjustified . .
IF YOU HAD ASKED any one of the
British students on this campus
about the fate of Singapore two weeks ago, he
would have told that there was almost no possi-
bility of Singapore falling to the Japanese. And
if you had asked any American student, or his
parents about how the American war effort is
progressing, he would have told you that since
the clean-up of the Pearl Harbor inefficiency
everything is coming along pretty well.
The manufacturers of the nation are pretty
well pleased for the most part with their con-
tributions to war materials. In fact, every place
you go, the attitude of the people is generally
cheerful. They airily talk of sacrifice, and hurry
out to buy 100 pounds of sugar before rationing
begins. They admit the rubber shortage, but
they're not awfully worried, for as soon as the
war is over, they'll have plenty of rubber.
FINALLY, if you drive through ,the country
you run across signs with the legend "Amer-
ica Has Never Lost a War." This sign expresses
best the over-all sentiment of the majority of
the people. They buy their defense bonds occa-
sionally, and feel that they have done their part
to win the war. They shake their heads at the
American casualty lists and comfort themselves
by saying that after all, you can't win a war
without losing some men. And they smile con-
tentedly when they hear reports of two Ja
bombers shot down by American fighter planes,
"attacking a numerically superior enemy forma-
tion."
General MacArthur is putting up an amazing
resistance to the Japanese attack. but never
should have been forced into the position he
now uncomfortably occupies. Singapore has
been rendered useless as a great Allied naval
base, regardless of its future occupants. Burma
is being threatened, and the Burma Road is no
longer the "safe" route it used to be. The Dutch
East Indies are in danger, so is Australia, and
their possessions. American fighter planes, vi-
tally needed in the battle of the Pacific, have
not the flying range required to be effective
from the bases now in Allied hands. We have
enemy submarines off 'our coasts, and they are
doing a land-office business.
AND AMID ALL THIS the people of America
read the signs that "America Has Never Lost
A War" and they are reassured. There is abso-
lutely no reason for us to feel that we are invin-
cible until we prove ourselves to be such. Up to
this point, we have definitely not been uncon-
querable. The reasons for this are mostly our
own fault. We did not fortify Guam, we did no
build our pursuit planes with sufficient flying
range, we had an ineffective army and navy
system in the Philippine and Hawaiian Islands,
*nd we have talked it into ourselves that we
have never lost a war, and we shall not lose
this one.
But it is a little early to assume that we have
the situation well in hand. It is not a question
of assuming a defeatist attitude, but rather a
sober attitude, an attitude of the realization of
the problems we face. To win this war we must
do more than simply believe we will win it. And
it is not only we who must realize it but the
workers and the manufacturers as well. Produc

WASHINGTON-The House Foreign Affairs
Committee heard some glowing reports of the
bravery and tough fighting qualities of Chinese
troops when Secretary of War Stimson and
other cabinet officers testified behind closed
doors on the $500,000,000 loan to)China
However, the committee also got some in-
formation about internal affairs in China which
wasn't so heartening.
Secretary Morgenthau warned that the morale
of the Chinese civilian population was not the
best. Initial Jap successes in the Pacific South-
west had something to do with this, he said, but
the chief reason was acute and protracted eco-
nomic distress, which had brought inflation and
widespread starvation.
"We must take steps without delay to stabilize
Chinese currency," Morgenthau held. "That's
just as important, if not more so, at the moment
than arms shipments."
The situation has been greatly aggravated re-
cently, the committee was told, by intensive fifth
column activities to spread dissension in the
Chinese army and distrust of the United States
among civilians.
In this connection, Assistant Secretary of State
Breckinridge Long made some eye-opening dis-
closures about secret Jap maneuvers to nego-
tiate a peace with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-
shek. The Chinese war lord indignantly rejected
these overtures, Long declared, but Quisling
elements in China were continuing their in-
trigues among both troops and civilians.
These traitorous forces are led by several high
officers formerly on Chiang 'Kai-shek's staff.
Long urged speedy and unanimous action by
Congress because of the psychological effect it
would have in the Orient.
Orientals are very sensitive about the manner
in which an offer of help is made, he explained.
While the money is desperately needed, and
while the Chinese are entitled to aid as our
allies, the Japs would try to impugn our motives
if Congress gave them the slightest opportunity.
Heroic Chinese
Stimson devoted most of his statement to
eulogizing the Chinese army.
"No army in the history of the world has
braver or more resourceful soldiers than the
Chinese," he said in effect. "The best proof of
this is that they are continuing to fight, with
unbelievable sacrifice and against almost insur-
mountable odds, after five years of aggression by
a ruthless invader.
"Cut off from communications, supplies and
shipping-with no financial resources to speak
of-they have resisted the enemy with a heroism
and tenacity that has won the admiration of
free peoples everywhere."
Questioned about the ability of the Chinese to
hold out, Stimson insisted that, with U. S. and
British help, they would more than hold their
own against the Japs. The War Secretary also
told the committee that there are many strate-
gically located airports in China available for
bombing raids on Japan.
Commerce Secretary Jesse Jones also joined
in acclaiming the Chinese. He particularly
lauded their honesty, pointing out that the Chi-
nese government has a splendid record of pay-
ing its debts .to the United States.
"The Chinese are a proud people who believe
in paying their debts," Jones said. " A signifi-
cant thing to me is the fact that they have not
taken all the credit that has been available to
them in loan authorizations by the Export-
Import Bank."
Glamor-Pusses
Up on Capitol Hill a lot of people think that
not even the Japanese themselves could have
found a better way to hurt war morale than by
the current epidemic of "Glamor-Pusses."
"Glamor-Pusses" is the name given to the
squad of actors, dancers and artists who have
recently moved in on Washington, climaxed by
Mrs. Roosevelt's dancing friend, blonde Mayris
Chaney, who draws $4,600 for directing child
health in the Office of Civilian Defense.
Real fact is that the advent of Mayris Chaey
merely touched off publicity regarding the fact
that quite a list of Glamor-Pusses have been
dancing their way through the defense pictur
for many months.
In all fairness it should be said that some of
them have contributed more to the war effort

than certain bungling $1-a-year big business-
men. Even Mrs. Roosevelt's blonde dancing girl
at a salary of $4,600 a year probably is less costly
to the American taxpayer than certain National
Defense business advisers who opposed setting
up tin smelters in the U. S. A., and later were
found to have been close to the British tin
monopoly. Their cost to the nation was price-
less months and millions of dollars in economic
dislocation.
Glamor Roll-Call
Trouble with most of the Glamor-Pusses is
that their specialty is glamor, yet they have been
given important executive jobs where glamor is
a, handicap. Here is the roll-call on some of
them:
Robert E. Sherwood-Pulitzer Prize winner;
author of "Idiot's Delight," "Abe Lincoln In Illi-
nois"; a great writer, but a man who should sit
on a mountain top, isolated,, while he turns out
masterpieces. Instead, he was given an impor-
tant executive job with the Donovan Committee.
Stephen Vincent Benet-famous poet; and
Thornton Wilder, author of "The Bridge of San

MUSIC
LAST MONDAY EVENING in Grand Rapids
there occurred an artistic achievement of no
little import when Mr. Charles Matheson, tenor,
appeared as guest soloist with the Grand Rapids
Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Matheson is at pres-
ent studying with Mr. Arthur Hackett of the
University School of Music, and for a student to
appear in concert with even one of the smaller
symphony orchestras is, to say the least, a thing
relatively unheard of.
The Monday night concert of the Grand Rap-
ids Symphony (which is, incidentally, the only
self-sustaining orchestra in the country), a
benefit concert for the Red Cross, was conducted
by Mr. Thor Johnson, the regular conductor of
the orchestra, whose recognition of Mr. Mathe-
son's vocal talents was chiefly responsible for
his engagement as guest artist. Mr. Matheson
sang two selections, "M'appari" from Flotow's
opera "Martha" and "Then You'll Remember
Me" from Balfe's "The Bohemian Girl."
WTE unqualifiedly state that Mr. Matheson is
one of the most promising of young Ameri-
can singers, and predict a completely successful
career for him. Vocally he must take a back
seat to no one, for he has a voice of tremendous
range and power. He is a dramatic tenor in all
that the name implies, with the ability to color
his tone almost completely as he desires through-
out the greater part of his range; yet he has a
sotto voce of soft and flowing tone, under his
absolute control. Probably the most outstanding
feature about his voice is his ability to sustain
almost indefinitely a tessitura near the top of
his range, and in doing it to maintain an ease
of production and complete fullness of tone.
Also, his voice is capable of a really amazing
power and intensity, though he has sufficient
artistic stature to prevent this from becoming
merely a means of display.
One of the most reassuring things to us con-
cerning Mr. Matheson's singing is the fervor
and feeling with which he sings. He is completely
sincere and loses himself in his song with his
energy and passion, never regarding any piece
of music as a means of display for his technical
prowess, but only as music to be given the fullest
possible interpretation with all the capability
at his command. Such an attitude and approach
can produce only a real artist, and that is what
he is; young, certainly, and therefore with things
yet to learn, but for him that should not be too
long or difficult an achievement.
For those who might wish to hear Mr. Mathe-
son, their opportunity is not far away, for he is
singing, the leading tenor role in Mascagni's
"Cavalleria Rusticana," which is being presented
March 4, 5, 6 and 7 by the combined talents of
the School of Music and Play Production.

RECORDS~i~
Important New Firsts -
Moussorgsky and Sibelius

TWO of the recent Victor Red Seal releases are
unique in that they represent the only orig-
inal versions of well-known compositions on
phonograph records.
The first is Sibelius' symphonic poem, Tapi-
ola, as recorded by Serge Koussevitzky and the
Boston Symphony Orchestra. This is considered
by many Sibelius' finest tone poem, and since
the withdrawal of the Sibelius Society Set album
containing Tapiola, there has been no recording
of this worthy composition.
A reviewer cannot evaluate the worth of a
composition-that is up to the individual. Either
you like Sibelius a lot or you don't If you do,
Tapiola is for you. It is typical Sibelius, and
Sibelius at his finest. The. reviewer can but
evaluate the skill of the interpretive perform-
ance. Dr. Koussevitzky plays the composition
with deep understanding and complete sympa-
thy and leaves little to be desired.
On the whole, the technical recording job is
good, but there are several spots where recording
tends to be a little muddy.
rTHEOTHER new Victor specialty is Mous-
sorgsky's Pictures At An Exhibition, in the
original piano version as performed excellently
by Alexander Brailowsky. There is a superfluity
of recordings of the various orchestral arrange-
ments of this suite, and it is a safe bet that very
few of those familiar with the composition have
ever heard it in its original form. We are all
familiar with the Ravel version or the Stokow-
ski version or the Koussevitzky version.
Anyone who has heard an orchestra version of
the composition owes it to himself to hear it in
the original. Less of the thinking is done for the
listener in the piano version and it is refreshing
to hear Moussorgsky's nisic ugarnished by
elaborate orchestration.
Mr. Brailowsky's playing is powerful, faithful
and perfect.
ANOTHER interesting "first" by Victor is the
Red Seal recording of Flamenco Suite, by
Soleares, as performed by guitar virtuoso Julio
Martinez Oyaguren on a single record. No one
can decide whether or not he enjoys guitar mu-
sic until he has heard this virtuoso extract from
the instrument his amazing range of color and
variations of dynamics. The Flamenco Suite is
excitingly Spanish, wild and stirring, calling for
finger dexterity and musical skill of which only
such a master as Oyaguren would be capable.
Tschaikowsky's waltz, Eugene Onegin, has fi-
nally been recorded by the Boston "Pops" Or-
chestra for Victor. It is rhythmically joyful,
melodically rampant and a welcome change from.
