CURRENT EVENTS

 

 

 

The big event of the week is the
Naval Appropriation Bill for 800,000,-
000 dollars, introduced by Representa-
tive Vinson, of Alabama. There has
been an ensuing battle between iso-
lationists opposed to cooperation with
any other country, who want a navy
big enough to fight all .comers—for
‘which 800,000,000 dollars -is insuffi-
cient—and pacificists who want an vy
of minimum size.

To facilitate cooperation between
Great Britain and United States,
differences between Britain and Ire-
land must first be settled. With Great
Britain willing to co omise, bar-

gaining with yIreland will probably
result in Britain’s cancellation of
long-protested Irish anpuities in re-
turn for Ireland’s promise to prevent
the use of her ports by countries
hostile to England.

Meanwhile the world wonders about
Hitler’s “bloodless purge” of Febru-
ary 4. Hitler has now made himself
commander-in-chief of the hitherto-
anti-Nazi army, discharging former
Commander von Blomberg and re-
placing Foreign Minister von Neurath
by von Ribbentrop.

Der Fiihrer has been trying to force
the appointment of a Nazi Minister of

‘Perhaps the most interesting from this

point of view, was the “trade party”
in which groups of, students gave
sketches of their own work. Often
they showed in pantomime exactly
how their hands and fingers moved,
what sort of conditions they worked
in, and how they liked the girl who
worked next to them in the shop. The

the season was a st) of American

next step would be Czechoslovakia.

The English and Scotch songs (All
Round My Hat, The Keys of Canter-
bury, Green Grow the Rushes O, Well
May the Keel Row) were rather fa-
miliar to the audience. The Keys
of Canterbury was interesting in its
typically ballad-like structure; its
thrice-recurring plea of a knight to
his lady, her stern refusal to yield
to the first two fantast'c offers she
is made, her capitulation at the prom-
ise of a new gown. The Scotch Green

The Scandinavian songs of the last

Locklagt, was a rather weird song, in
a language now dead, and resembling
no known dialect. Madame Lund de-

The Danish Roselil og Hendes Mo-
der, Roselil and her mother, showed,
more than any other song on the
program, the intimate connection be-
tween folk-lore and song. The last
selection, De tolv hellige Ting (Th

repeated after every verse.

As encores, Madame Lund sang
two American songs, of the Appala-
chian mountain. regions,, songs which
surprised most of the thoroughly
American audience in their genuine
primitive spirit, and their authentic
folk feeling. ,

Madame Lund’s.
