Myra Hess Concert To Benefit Workshop New York Audience Applauds Famous English Pianist @ Myra Hess, the brilliant English pianist, will give a recital “here on February seventh for the benefit of the Theatre Workshop. She recently played.in New York and her perform- ance. ‘was considered exceptionally good. Her program was varied, con- sisting of the Bach D Minor tocata, the Schubert B flat sonata, and the Beethoven Pathétique. With truly unusual artistic —re- sources, she brought out the full greatness of each work. The Bach’s gontrapuntal lines and arabesques were, to quote the Tribune, “traced with rare ‘clarity and yet with a free- dom and spontaneity that belied the deliberative art that had gone into its structure,” and the Beethoven was played “with equal artistic powers.” But her greatest achievement was the Schubert sonata where the per- former must “supply dramatic value where there is little or none by in- tensifying the unique substance and endowing: the fullest ‘meaning: to", each element; of harmony. and rhythm.

Fenwick gave his impressions of the significance of the recent meeting at Lima, to. which. he was a delegate. The Declaration of Lima,. said Mr. Fenwick, “is. a great, fundamental charter of American liberties.” Although a large part of the press in this: country has been critical of, or indifferent to, the achievements of the conference, Mr. Fenwick believes this attitude is based on a misreading of the true purposes: of the meeting. Taking: as its base the resolutions passed at Buenos Aires in 1936, the delegates. proceeded slowly but-sys- -tematically, and finally reached a far broader declaration. Mr. Fenwick stressed the point that the particular value of the whole lies in. the fact that it was accomplished after exhaustive and free discussion.

The dance sketches were notable more for their consciousness of design in space than for their execution.

State of Palestine Jewish. and Arab Opinions Outlined With Reasons . For Enmity BRITISH PROBLE IS RECONCILIATION Goodhart, January 16.—In his lec- ture on Palestine, Sir Ronald Storrs reviewed the causes of dissension be- tween Jews and Arabs in that coun- try. Because of,,the high official po- sitions that he has-held in Egypt, Pal- estine, and Cyprus from the first years of the war to the early 1930s, his com- «| prehension of near eastern peoples obtained by’ long contact with them, and his speaking .knowledge of both Hebrew. and’ Arabic, it would have been-hard to. find a better informed speaker on the subject than | Sir Ronald. From. the beginning he admitted that his personal view was pro-semitic in regard to the ‘problem of Palestine. He outlined the history.of the Zionist movement from its birth in the brain- of the Austrian-Jewish journalist, Herze] to the present-day organization financed by Jews all over the world. British codperation, enlisted by war services of Weizmann, a Manchester chemist,’ was clinched by the “Bal- four-;Declaration” in which Great Britain. promised to. do all in her power to help the Jéws in Palestine, provided that their establishment did- nothing to impair the religious and civil rights of the non-semitic popula- tion. Jewish immigration into that lit- tle country of 10,000 square miles area has reached enormous proportions. Finally Sir Ronald referred very ‘fa- vorably to the hard work. that the Jews have done toward cultivation of the land in a productive modern man- nf and the establishment of modern xport centers at Jaffa and Tel Aviv. On the other hand he described the bitter disillusionment of the Arabs who had hoped that when rid of the Turks, the British would develop Pal- estine for the Arabs as they had de- veloped Egypt for the Egyptians. So far as they could see the Jews had no more right to Palestine than the Continued—on- Page our ie: Psychologists Test ‘ Primitive Mentality Music Room, January 10:—The work which has been carried on in the study of African primitive groups, hitherto limited, is now, according to Dr. Sherman.

The two weeks are divided evenly, the first for reading in the special field, the second for reading covering the five fields. Those who are fortunate to have taken the sophomore survey course, must spend forty hours on a fifth - field which they could not take; on the other hand, thirteen hour parcels of reading are assigned to those who did not take the survey course, but who must fill in gaps to complete their five fields. : oli We are urged by the English department not to take these chron- ical assignments too seriously, but we feel that they are justified by the system, The English major, unlike any other, is supposed to know everything about everything within the boundaries of English literature. As a result, comprehensives cover five fields, that is, -five interlocking periods that are equal to a survey of almost all of English literature. there is a far greater chronological sweep than in English. Other majors have three fields, even when, as in history, To cover her five fields without having to do private reading in any one of them, the English major avoids taking the ‘survey course, which has the . game long range and comprehensive value.as-minor history. Even so, _ she must spend almost twice as much time as the history: major com- a pleting her fields. = “As part ‘ofthis system, we wonder whether we will ever have more than a superficial knowledge of a vast period, and whether this is not less valuable than a more specifie lateral knowledge. The ideal major work would be concentrated on various phases of a single era, the political history, philosophy and literature, for instance, of a cer- tain century. We see no reason for not approaching this ideal by a ~preliminary compromise: fields in English to three.. by cutting down the number of required If this were done, English majors would not only be likely to take the survey course, but they would be able to take more courses like history and philosophy which have a very important relation to English. The comprehensiveness of English as an end has been defeated, first, because it prevents real specialization ol within itself except for honor students, and secondly, because the English major’s general knowledge is narrowed by the exclusion of "other equally valuable courses. ~~ have examination hysteria,” and some of them have it.

Until the introduction ox the “Good Neighbor Policy” in 1933,%the United through Statés adhered to the Munroe Doc-| - trine, which devolved into imperialism | in South America. Resentment against this policy, particularly in growing commercial countries like Argentina, was intense and has not yet disap- peared. The general recalcitrance of gentina at the conference is amply explained, said Mr. Fenwick, by the fact that the United States has con- sistantly opposed and. hindered Ar- gentine exports—wheat and cattle— to this country. Consequently,” her in Great sritain, Germany and Italy, and she does not wish to alienate these coun* tries by signing resolutions such as the ban whicli ve proposed at Lima on “subversive actiytties ies non-Amer- ican countries.” The conference was aie into numerous committees. The organiza- tion for Peace, of which Mr. Fenwick. was a member, wished to strengthen the Buenos Aires declaration that the Munroe Doctrine was a continental ‘obligation, common to all the re-} publics. In.this they were successful, for a much stronger resolution’ was passed, without opposition, which stated that a foreign attack on any one republic would be regarded as an attack upon all, and all would confer as to methods of resistance. Any possible weaknesses in the resolutions are, Mr. Fenwick believes, offset by the strength of the preamble, which lays down the spirited determi- nation of the American republics to cooperate in peace and resist foreign attacks. It declares that ‘the peoples of America have achieved spiritual unity by the similarity of | their republican institutions ... and of individual liberties. without racial or religious préjudices.” Said *Mr. Fenwick, “This is more than we had ever hoped for—the Declaration of Lima will be effective not because of the words, but because of the spirit of cooperation behind it.” ~ A second division of the conference was: that on international law, which dealt with pecuniary claims, This is “a tender subject,” since the United States has made loans all over Latin America. ~Since,the introduction of the “Good Neighbor Policy” we have foregone the use of force in attempts to collect these debts. We have insisted on the right of diplomatic intervention and protest, and we have always asserted that our citizens, when abroad, are under an international law and not merely subject to local justice. At Lima, several republics, tried to pass a resolution stating that aliens under business contracts were entitled only to the same treatment as’ nationals. Fortunately, said Mr. Fenwick, Chile and other countries objected to this, and the resolution was veneered back to committee, The positive achievements under the “Good Neighbor Policy” are directly referable, -Mr.-- Fenwick believes,—to the leadership of Secretary Hull, whose integrity is trusted by all. The presence of Alfred Landon was also of great significance. He was able to allay suspicions spread by Ger- many that all of Mr, Hull’s policies would be discredited if the Republi- cans were elected in 1940. Mr. Fen- wick also remarked that the simple presence of a defeated candidate “at large” made a_ great impression on many South Americans—particu- larly when this loser openly expressed his desire to see the present govern- ment defeated in | 1940, he ge F ‘enwick Disbare ges Wires END , DON JUAN : (Canto XVIII continued) “Tut, tut,” said Lemuel, apropos of Juan, : Who, as you know, was lying stark _ and cold. “Ask yourself. what Criseyde would be doin’; 3 She was a match for anything.

The opposition labels the re- quest as an attempt at “‘pu prim- ing” which, they say, has so far failed to produce water. (In other words, they think the President is trying to put more money in circulation .with- out the public’s complaining of the government’s extravagance. ) ractically, Mr. Fenwick says, w@ uld have an increase in armaments, particularly in the air force. Britain lost last’ September’s “battle of Mu- nich” because she kept supremacy of the seas, while Germany developed her air force, now under production at the rate of 1000 per month. South Americans at the Lima Conference asked why the United States expected} to be attacked. They were told that we were looking for a military _alli- ance. That was not the’case. But it is nevertheless important that we be able to fight:a-war in both oceans at once. Congress does not “rubber” stamp” the President’s demands as formerly. It remains to be seen in the next six months whether the enforced curtail- ment of the Federal spending program can bring us: prosperity. Professor Felix Frankfurter’s ap- pointment to the Supreme Court is not likely to meet-opposition from the Sen- ate.

Deladier has ‘recently visited these colonies, with enthusiastic reception. The British are possessed with a strong sense of fland ownership, otherwise they might solve the problem, Mr. Fenwick be- lieves, by giving Italy British Somali- land. ' This woyld divide her military strength, and’ ‘make her friendly to Great Britain. In Spain, the fall of Terragona hens alds the seige of Barcelona, by Franco, which would soon be successful if the British recognized him as a belliger- ent, so that he could blockade the port. Although France has promised not to permit Italy to hold Spain under her domination, she still fears she may soon be subject to attacks from the South as well as the East.

To clarify their achievements,. this committee voted (1) that.an embargo on Japan was, a wise plan, (2) that immigration‘ from China and Japan should be continued on the normal quota basis, (3) that the Philippines should be relinquished gradually ac- cording to the present plan. The sense of the meeting was that we should act to stop war, but by hu- mane rather than drastic means. Laura Estabrook, ’39, president of the I. R. C. at Bryn Mawr, served on the committee considering the German Refugee Problem. The general feel- ing was that as many outlets from Germany as possible should be. util- ized, but that no country should admit. too many refugees at once for fear of spreading antisemitism still further. They recommended’ that the United States accept the usual quota, espe- cially of students and children, as the class with the “largest future.” Joy Rosenheim, ’40, on the commit- tee on Europe and International. Se- curity, found that emotion outweighed’ information considerably and that an astonishing majority were pronounced reactionaries. These condoled with “the poor Sudetens” so long sepa- rated from their Fatherland, and With the “poor Kulaks of the Ukraine” be- cause they had been starved several years ago. The chief business of this meeting was in hearing reports from the various delegations as to member- ship and activity of the clubs at dif- ferent universities and colleges. Par- ticipation by the members is greater, she reports, at other I. R. Clubs than at Bryn Mawr. Ne ALBRECHT’S FLOWERS ARDMORE, PA. ‘12 Lancaster Avenue Tel. Ard. 2850 Athletic Contests.
