Eckstein Cites

Editor Of World View Talks On Social Tensions

Lang Explains









inese Plans

“The central objective of the
Communist regime in Red China
is to make Communist China the
strongest power on earth. It is my
belief that the motivation behind
the current tremendous push is Na-
tionalism, using Communism as an
instrument for the accomplishment
of a national objective,” stated Mr.
Alexander Eckstein, Alliance speak-
er last Thursday night. Mr. Eck-
stein is a professor of Economics at
the University of Rochester and
has published books and articles on
the subject of modern China. He
discussed “The pattern of the econ-
omic evolution of China since the
Communists have come to power.”

The speaker began by saying that
our data about Communist China
is compiled from periodicals, news-
papers and the like published in
China and made available to the
West through Hong Kong. Its
quality varies and the scholar must
be especially careful of exaggera-
tion and distortion of facts and fig-
ures.

Mr. Eckstein outlined the five
periods of internal economic policy
since 1949 beginning with the ‘Re-
covery and Rehabilitation’ era in
1949-50 at which time the object-
ive was to restore the war-devastat-
ed economy. From 1953-54 there
was an announced plan for the
‘Preparation for Economic Develop-
ment’, which in reality went into
effect only in 1955, beginning the
‘Big Push’ period.

Between 1955-56 investments
were raised by 60% of the econo-
my iwas strained to tae jimit. Then
in 1957 came the ‘Retrenchment
Period’, at which time the rate of
economic development was slowed
down but the. level remained high.
Finally, since 1958, China has been
in the ‘Leap Forward’, “pushing for-
ward with everything they have.”
It was ipointed out tnav tne economy
is like a pump, going back and
forth in rates of progress. _

There is a tendency to overestim-
ate the backward trend.. In fur-
thering the objective of catching up
with the West it was necessary for
Communist China to bring the
economy under ~a central control.
Communism was made an effective
instrument in the plans for recondi-
tioning the economy by nationaliz-
ing industry and instituting a col-
lective agricultural system. _It—is
especially in this agricultural as-
pect that the Chinese regime differs
from the Soviet system. Its’ pri-
mary concern was not to make the
same mistakes as its predecessors,
incurring the human and material
waste that the Soviets did when

“Talking about religion in a free
society is a terribly serious thing
to do on Mardi Gras,” said Mr.
William ‘Clancy as he began the
first of Interfatih’s three lectures
on “Religion, A Challenge to a
Free Society.” ‘The talk was held
in the Common Room on March 1,
and was followed by discussion
groups under Mr. Bachrach, Mr.
Brown, and Mr. MacCaffrey. Re-
ligion’s significant role, Mr. Clancy
stated, is to be the bearer of a
tradition in society, to be its con-
science, and to raise its moral lev-

tatistically, and as far as the in-
creasing “dialogues” between re-

upswing. But confusion lies in the
problem of how to get rid of “his-
toric distrusts” and how the relig-



Poetry Contests
To Offer Awards

For the fourth consecutive year
the Academy of American Poets will
award a prize of $100.00 to a Bryn
Mawr student for the best group
of poems submitted to the appoint-
ed judges of the faculty. Similar
awards, given for the purpose of
stimulating a greater interest in
poetry on the college level, will be
presented at twenty other institu-
tions, among them Harvard, Prince-
ton, Smith, Dartmouth, Wellesley,
Stanford, and Cornell.

ions are tg, relate to a_ secular,
“post-religious” society.

In 1928 when Al Smith ran for
the presidency it was true, though
unofficial, that America’s national
religion twas Protestantism, and
this is still the major image that
our society has of itself. Today,
however, we are becoming a more

tri-religious culture, for a “vague.

religious ethos pervades America,”
in which 70% of the people are re-
ligiously affiliated.

What does the advance of re-
ligion today mean? Billy Graham
would say Divine Providence, and
that Americans are the defenders
of faith in the modern world; so-
ciologists would say that it is the
result of personal frustration in
an anti-individualistic society; still
other theorists would call religion
merely another agency of conform-
ism.

One of the problems of prosper-
ous religion in a free society today
is the equation of religion to pa-
triotism, since society says that to
be an American you must affiliate.
This is a threat to religion, for if
it has any word to offer, it is a

“judging and transforming one,” |

and must not be dependent wpon
political views for its own. Relig-
ion should have a concern and rel-

Mr. Bushbeck traced the Dutch
painter’s growth into a first-rank
artist using slides of Brueghel’s en-
gravings and paintings to illustrate
his talk.

The artist’s career encompass-
ed eighteen years of the sixteenth
century. Although Brueghel spent
some time in Rome, Mr. Bushbeck
maintained that his work shows no
trace of any Roman influence, al-
though it does reveal the impres-
sion.that_thenatural_scenery—of
Italy made on the artist.. ;

“His art can only be defined as a
complete reaction ... as something
anti-Renaissance in every respect.”
Rather than looking to Raphael’s
x Michelangelo’s works, Brueghel
was influenced by an artist who liv-
ed a generation before him—Hier-
onymous Bosch. Both these artists
combined elements into a whole
which do not seem combinable to
humans.

“Brueghel paints the behavior of
people,” said Bushbeck. “People
were not painted as representatives
of a theological concept or in good
form, but they are painted the way
they behave.” According to Mr.
Bushbeck, the ability to paint peo-
ple in this was was the core of
Brueghel’s greatness.

Another facet of this greatness
was his landscapes. “Brueghel can
express mood without human fig-
ures or when the figure is second-
ary,” the lecturer explained.

Mr. Bushbeck stated that the
Brueghel works in the Vienna Mu-

jseums_are among its most prized

evance to the central issues of the
day, but the association of religion
and Americanism is also bad for
politics; for, by “theologizing,” our
pronouncements from Washington
sound like “God is on our side, and
has joined the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.” Religion
should have something of its own
to say about international justice,
exaggerated natiomalism, racial
and religious prejudice.

The relation of religion to the
arts is another question to be ans-
wered. Too often in the past, re-
ligion has been-the perpetuater of
Puritanism, and a censor, “an ec-
‘clesiastical Mrs, Grundy.”

“How can religion be relevant
to a free society, how can it ente:
into the age without doing violence
so a liberal society by imposing its
particular view?” This is the prob-
lem of religion today in the Unit-
ed States.

Panel to Debate
‘Place of Religion

Are there deepening divisions be-
tween the major religious commun-
ities today? Do the misunder-
standings and animosities among
Catholics, Protestants, Jews and
“humanist secularists” pose a
threat to freedom? These and other
related questions will be the subject
of a panel debate next Tuesday

evening, March 8, at 8:30 in the
Common Room entitled “Is Religion
Opposed to the Free Society?”

The participating panelists will
be Mr. James H. Mullen, Associate
Professor of Economics, Temple
University; Mr. Murray Friedman,
American Jewish Committee of Phil-
adélphia; Mr. Thomas G. Sanders,
| Department of Religious Studies,
Brown University; and Mr. Alger-
non Black of the Ethical Culture
| Society of New York City. These
men have been involved in the the-
oretical and practical aspects of
these problems,

This program is the second of the
series on RELIGION—A CHAL-
LENGE TO THE FREE SOCIETY
and will pursue some of the prob-
lems raised in the introductory lec-
ture last night. The panel presen-
tations will be followed by discus-
sion; both faculty members and
students are invited and urged to
attend and participate.



Gothic Motets

Polyphony and its development
primarily in Renaissance and Ref-
ormation music was the subject of
Mr. Lang’s lecture on Monday night.
The speaker said that polyphony
nas two roots: European hetero-
phony, in which two persons simul-
taneously sing different versions
of the same melody, and rounds,
which are “organized, delayed
‘homophony.”

_ Popular polyphony grew from a
“desire to amplify an. already exist-
ing form,” and consisted of varia-
ions on the same melody, sung si-
multaneously. Ecclesiastical poly-
phony. developed as a reaction
against the relatively barbaric ten-
dencies of popular musié.

Gothic Music

[he beginnings of the Renaissance
are to be seen in the fourteenth
century with the development of
the “ars nova”. Music up to this

- |time came to be called “ars antiqua”

or Gothic.

One of the striking examples of
the “ars antiqua” is the motet at
its most elaborate and “frighten-
ing to behold.” This was composed
of three independent melodies: the
first, a Gregorian chant sung in
Latin; the second, a completely dif-
ferent tone in a different rhythmic
mode, sometimes sung in French;
and the third, in a still different
tune and rhythmic mode, often in
Provencale. This was not true
polyphony, but a form of. hetero-
phony,

This motet form, as Gothic poly-
phony in general, was based ona
theological concept rather than a
musical. one. Church musicians
were attempting to place music in
a spacial rather than a temporal
dimension, according to the relig-
ious concept of timelessness,

With the arrival of the Renais-
sance, music reflected the upheaval
in thought. Many new forms
emerged, such as the madrigal
and the chanson. The melodies of
these secular forms became absorb-
ed in the ecclesiastical music. This
was done mainly through the “par-
edy mass,” which incorporated full
sections of these songs.

The old division between secular
and sacred music disappeared, and

peasants. In the Russian case, the
peasants took the land during the
revolution and started to gain both
economic and political power, and
Stalin was forced to alienate the
people and seize the land violently.
~~Ti China the state reclaimed the
land before the peasants had a
chance to consolidate and’ gain pow-

land-through land reform programs
and a series of intermediary steps,
political contro] became entrenched
in every family and village.

A striking feature of Chinese
collectivization is the government’s
attempt to go further than the So-
viet Union and institute the com-
mune system in its original concep-

up of the family. The plan has not
been successful in China because
the family unit, traditionally
strong, has resisted. The policy
has not achieved its objective but
the goal still remains.

Mr. Eckstein concluded by sug-

system. First, there is the fact
that the progress in industry has
outdistanced the rate of agricultur-
