A NEW
NAVAL POLICY
(Daily Iowan)
A navy second to none is the
policy announced by Secretary Ad-
ams, the first military policy of the
Hoover administration. European
critics will register surprise, to say
nothing about the attitude of Am-
erican pacificists, for hasn't the
United States been a staunch back-
er of disarmament?
A study of the new policy reveals,
however, that there is no need of
alarm; no cause for concern lest
the United States should be prepar-
ing for another war. The first class
naval policy is entirely in accord
with the London treaty of cruiser
tonnage limitation. Until this time
the United States has not been tak-
ing advantage of the maximum
tonnage allowance. Only small

Music & Drama
FLORENT SCHMITT: La Tragedie
de Salome: Suite for Orchestra:
played by the Orchestre des Con-
certs Straram under the direction
of the composer: for Columbia
Masterworks Series No. 157.
Florent Schmitt is now rounding
out thirty years' activity in musical
composition which have placed him
among the six or seven foremost
French composers. The first Amer-
ican issue of a major composition
by Schmitt is, as the Columbia fold-
er claims,o"an event of some impor-
tance in contemporary music." For
Schmitt, a pupil of Faure, is gen-
erally given by the majority of
Frenchmen more chance for sig-
nificant immortality than such men
as Ravel-whom America 'knows
thoroughly.
Nadia Boulanger attributes the
peculiar importance of Florent
Schmitt in contemporary music to
a peculiar fusion which he achieves
in music. She puts it thus: "Schmitt
was born in Lorraine and his music
clearly shows the traces of his dou-
ble Lation and Teutonic heredity.
Clarity, balance, restraint-that is,
what we normally call the Gallic
traits-are constantly alternating
with or being fused with the more
Germanic ideals of ponderous force,
imposing construction, abundance
of feeling."
The present work which Schmitt
himself has conducted for Colum-
bia is one of his earliest, though
one of his most famous, composi-
tions. It was originally written in
1907 as interludes and incidental
music for a ballet at the Theatre
des Arts. Later, the music was re-
orchestrated, given strictly sym-
phonic proportions, and has ever
since been one of the popular sym-
phonic suites on Paris programs.
As a ballet, it was adopted by the
Russian ballet, and in her recent
book of nemoirs, Mme. Karsavina
has spoken of her appearances in
it. It is now in the permanent
repertory of the Paris Opera, with
Ida Rubinstein dancing the title
part.
The Symphonic suite is composed
of two Preludes which establish
musically the setting and the ori-
ental atmosphere of the famous
story and of three actual dancing
scenes. The whole musical texture
is very rich: luxuriant in harmonies,
thick in counterpoint, and splendid
in orchestral color. But Schmitt's
most original means of expression
seems to lie in his rhythms. All
the pieces in the suite are full of.
rhythms of nervous force, which,
by virtue of their insistence neat-
ly establish the drama's air of the
sinister. The orchestra under the
composer plays with fine animation.

MOZART MASS TO BE BROAD-
CAST FROM SALZBURG
A rather unique radio event will
take place Sunday afternoon when
Mozart's Requiem Mass will be
broadcast from the town of his
birth, Salzburg, Austria over the
WABC-Columbia network from 3:30
to 4:30 p.m., E.D.S.T.
Gathered together in the an-
cient cathedral city for the Mozart
Festival this month are some of
the world's greatest conductors,
singers, and instrumentalists, with
the Vienna Philharmonic Orches-
tra, chorus of the Vienna State
Opera, and a cast from La Scala,
Milan.
The Requiem Mass is one of the
strangest Mozart works. Mozart
wrote it in anticipation of his own
death and was not spared to fin-
ish it. It is unique in the traces
in the music of that agony of spirit
which was so intense a part of Mo-
zart the man yet so seldom crept
