With all its usual glamor of colorful cos-tumes, music and dancing the Hispanic In-stitute enjoyed its annual dinner Wednesdayevening at the Woman's Club and bestowed itsCervantes Medal upon Mr. Maxwell A. Kilvert.Mrs. William C. Bowers, President of the In-stitute, with whom Mr. Kilvert has collaboratedfor several years in the upbuilding of the or-ganization, summarized briefly his many activi-ties in behalf of better relations between thepeoples, of Latin America and the UnitedStates, and pointed out that he was one of thevery first of the precursors of the "Good Neigh-bor Policy".

UNIVERSITY CLUB HEARS WILLIAM A. TAYLORIN ADDRESS ON "THE NATION CALLED CANADA"

In the best traditions of the Uni-versity Club where the membersprovide each other with an un-failing supply' of information and •observation, Mr. William A. Tay-lor contributed a paper at the Tues-day afternoon "pow-wow" on "TheNation Called Canada". It was apaper packed with the kind ofinformation that an alert and ques-tioning mind would gather and itwas permeated with keen analytic-al valuations of the Canadians,their institutions, and their destiny.Mr. Taylor briefly sketched enoughof the historical background togive perspective to his observations,and was well fortified with figuresand data to meet the customaryonslaught of questioning which fol-lowed in the open discussion. Forno matter what subject may bechosen for a "pow-wow" address,

the speaker will always find in hisaudience men who can contributesome additional fact or raise somepertinent question. .: ,.

Mr. Taylor traveled ''&'leisurely •fashion from the sea-girt MaritimeProvinces to British Columbia,stopping at nearly all of the import-ant places between and coveringabout 5,000 miles. He had been inMontreal and Toronto many times,but upon this occasion had oppor-tunities to be informed at first handconcerning the country and its re-sources, the people and their affairsand to form some idea of Canada'splace in, the world and of her sig-nificance as our northern neigh-bor." Added factors which possiblycolored his observations and hisinterest in Canada were due to thefact that one of his uncles was a

"The Pigeon"In presenting "The Pigeon", by

John Galsworthy, (which openedat the Fred Stone Theatre, Wednes-day night and continues throughSaturday night), Director DonaldAllen is demonstrating an import-ant aspect of drama in the yearsbetween the two world wars. Gals-worthy, a competent but not in-spired playwright, used the thea-tre as a propaganda platform. Heattacked all sorts of what appearedto him to be injustices in his plays,penal servitude, trial by jury, andin this case, organized charity.

Whatever the opinion of the play-goer regarding the matter underdiscussion, "The Pigeon" is an ex-traordinarily interesting play. Theauthor has fished out of the bag afew stock characters, a flower girl,the church militant in the shape ofa charitable canon, a taxi driver,a carelessly kind painter and otherdiverse and, superficially, uncon-vincing persons. These, apparently,are intended to represent types, notpersonalities. At the start of theplay they are types and no more,but gradually—and almost againstthe intention of the playwright,they become people. And, althoughthe propaganda motif is never quitelost, it does take a secondary placeand the play is the better for thesuppression of purpose to art.

Of the ten parts in the play, onlytwo are feminine, and Donald Allenhas cast two people for each role.Mrs. Megan, the flower girl, willbe played by Ho Lorenz for twonights and by Barbara Lewis forthe other two.

"MANCHURIA IS A POWDER-KEG" SAYS YOUNGBY JAMES H. YOUNG"I have just returned from the

Par East where I heard discussedmore than any other geographicalarea, two spheres now under totalor partial control—Manchuria andKorea.

"The 38th parallel in Korea hasdivided American and Soviet arm-ies with an armed boundary. Man-churia, an area twice the size ofGermany, is a powder keg.

"Two fellow newspaper corre-spondents were pulling out of Man-churia just as I was trying toenter. They reported severe pres-sure from a shadowing type offi-cial at Harbin, once the Paris ofthe Orient, and Changchun, the for-mer puppet capital which is now aghost city. They were not per-mitted to inspect the once largerailroad city of Mukden.

"The American consul generalat Dairen, Merrill H. Benninghoff,whom I have known for 20 years,could not be reached. The recentSoviet ultimatum incident certain-ly leaves him in the bleak andiron curtained seaport without hopefor backing from his own Depart-ment of State .

"At Shanghai one can hear manyinteresting tales of Soviet activi-ties there which lead to Dairen andthe interior of Manchuria.

"Manchuria contains many eco-

nomic and political issues, each afuse leading to a flare up if thewrong person fires a gun or sets atorch. If the Chinese attempt touse force this month to regainDairen, the Soviets would likelypounce on them with airpowerfrom the north, and then we wouldhave a full scale battle in the Paci-fic area.

"As much as we hope to es-cape the dangers of the Manchuriansituation, I believe we shall beforced into taking sides. I knowthat many Americans don't give ahang what happens in Manchuria,or China, or Spain for that mat-ter, but they should be remindedthat they didn't give a hang, either,in 1921 when Manchuria was in-vaded, or in 1938 when Manchuriabecame the springboard for an at-tack which led to Bataan and Cor-regidor.

"The attitude is not good, butthat's the way I find most peoplehere are feeling about foreign af-fairs in the Far East.

"The entire United Nations as-sembly could undergo a supremetest of its permanence if it is con-fronted this year by Chinese* de-mands for an investigation of Sov-iet control of Manchuria."

"And the United States govern-ment is deeply involved because wearranged illegally, at Yalta, thesovereignty transfer of Manchuriato Soviet Russia. Chinese dissatis-faction toward Moscow with re-spect to Manchuria is inevitable.

"In the entire Far East there isno hotter political spot than Man-churia,

"Forty years ago at Portsmouth,N. H., we were the mediators in adispute involving Russia and Japanin Manchuria and it is quite likelythat we may be forced to mediatea Chinese Russian dispute regard-ing Manchuria,

"But Americans in 1925, and now,wanted to believe that they couldwithdraw from international com-mitments. No one feared waragain. Not many persons in 1938wanted to believe that Manchuriawas the training ground for war inthe Pacific.

"The dangers in Manchuria aretoday very real and very great,"

Thebuilding program has been delayedon account of shortages in mate-rials at various times but it Is con-fidently expected to have the newstructures ready for a public open-ing late in February.

The picture at the top of thispage gives a bird's-eye view of theHungerford campus and tells of theprogress which has been made andis still to be completed.

Canadian pioneer and his childrenand grandchildren survive. Mr.Taylor also gave credit to twobooks: "The Canadians" by GeorgeJVC. Wrong and "North AmericanTriangle" by John Bartlet Brebner.

That Canada is a sportsman'sParadise is so well appreciated,said Mr. Taylor, that it seemedsuperfluous to go into much detailon this point, but he did mentionthe landing of 3700 pounds of tunaby a New Yorker in two weekstime, and a catch of two of thesebig fish each of 600 pounds on thesame day by another amateur.Salmon and trout fishing and bigand small game hunting are to befound in almost all of the Provinces,said Mr. Taylor, but he found thecities overrun by American touristswho came neither to fish or huntbut bent upon sight-seeing, and inthis pursuit what mortal could bedisappointed in Canada? The grand-eur of the mountains, the greatrivers, and beautiful lakes aresights not to be forgotten. Also inseaside and mountain resorts werethousands of Americans, many withtheir children, enjoying long sum-mer days in a climate rather brac-ing, and seldom unpleasantlywarm."

Mr. Taylor marveled "that Can-ada's comparatively small popula-tion, scattered over a widely,sprawling mighty land, is united ina conscious nation and the marvelgrows as one considers the compo-sition of the population, for in real-ity there does appear lacking anactual sense of unity, to such adegree that it is difficult to takea central point of view."

Quoting Mr. Taylor's remarkson this important aspect: "Lack ofunity is almost entirely due to thefact that the French-Canadians,who number about 40% of thepeople are to a great extent in-sulated. They might even bethought of as a people apart and,when one seeks the cause, muchas he might wish to leave religionout of the question, it is JUSTTHAT which matters.

said. Before the British, the Frenchwere in Canada and their descend-ants consider themselves 100%Canadians, with little or no ac-cent on the ancient French connec-tion. It is remarkable, but for themotherland the French-Canadianattachment, if any, is at best luke-warm.

"We have no motherland", de-clared one of their eminent church-men. Among the European emi-grants received by Canada over aperiod of many years none havecome from France. Verily a pecu-liar situation when one considersthat the French-Canadians areheritors of a succession of stout-hearted and heroic Frenchmen,—explorers, soldiers, sailors and ut-terly devoted priests, many ofwhom met the fate of martyrs atthe hands of the savage Iroquois.

A rather disquieting feature ofthe situation is that the orthodoxFrench-Canadian, in Mr. Taylor'swords, "rejects identity with Eng-lish speaking Canada, and as anatural sequence with France,Great Britain and the UnitedStates. Therefore I have used theword INSULATED and by way offurther evidence to justify theterm I would submit that in thegrand politics of the past 75 years,a period covering Canada's greatestachievements, the French-Cana-dians have taken no share com-mensurate with their votingstrength and have disclosed lackof interest in national enterprises,as well as a spirit of not-too-willingcooperation, with the government inthe face of menacing danger totheir country.

"With the brilliant exception ofSir Wilfred Laurier," continued Mr.Taylor, "they have not produceda statesman of top rank; have notinitiated and largely abstainedfrom participating in, the greatventures of railroad building, com-merce and industry which strikethe observer as marvelous in acountry of so small a population;and the situation is worsened bythe bi-lingual factor,—French be-ing the only language spoken bymillions while English is the solelanguage of other millions."

(Continued from preceding page)at MoGill University in Montrealfounded by another Scotchmannamed James MeGill. It may seemodd but this tuition probably en-dowed him with the liberal viewswhich he later enunciated, andwhich led to his excommunicationby the Roman Catholic Church in1896 and twenty years later by astern and unbending PresbyterianChurch for the same reason. Butwhen he died all Canada, for onceunanimous, mourned the loss ofone of her most illustrious sons."

Canada's 12,200,000 population isonly 50 per cent British, Mr. Tay-lor stated, and there are aboutV& millions of Germans, Ukrain-ian, Scandinavian, Dutch, Hebrewand Italian groups in numericalimportance as named. Emigrationfrom the United States is greaterthan from Britain but is offset bythe number of Canadians enteringthis country. French-Canadianswho infiltrated into New Englandmill towns were exploited, workingfor low wages and low living stand-ards; while Canadians of bothsexes who were the product of thesplendid universities, colleges andvocational schools are noted In Bos-ton, New York and other largecities, Sir William Osier being one.Mrs. Taylor reminded his audi-ence that about 100,000 loyalistswent to Canada after the rebellionof the American colonies and un-questionably they and their de-scendants have proved a very in-fluential and stabilizing element.

priately to be recognized in hisnew appellation as a "Canadiancitizen" to distinguish him as alto-gether separate and distinct froma British subject.

Mr. Taylor briefly touched uponthe historical aspect of his subject—the long struggle between theEnglish and the French, the Lou-isiana Purchase from Napoleon I,the failure of the English to profitby their mistakes with the Ameri-can colonies which finally wascured through the statesmanshipof Sir John A. MacDonald in 1867.Credit was given to Cordell Hulland President Franklin D. Roose-velt for a new era of mutual confi-dence and good will between ourcountries, and especially to thelater for his cooperation and faithin the potential capacity of theCanadians which touched theirpride and helped them to make astupendous effort in the last war.

With Canada emerging from thewar a creditor nation, strongerthan ever, her industrial capacitydoubled, more highly esteemedand prosperous and with exception-al promise for expansion, Mi1. Tay-lor pointed out the interdependenceof the two countries. Canada is oursecond best customer, we in turnher best. She now supplies 80 percent of our paper needs, Canada isour northern line of defense, andher possession of the largest knownuranium deposits give her a stra-tegic importance in the atomic age.The famous undefended border is"a world's wonder that time can-not wither but only make morewonderful * * * both nations havegrown too proud of it to wish to seeit sacrificed."

Mr. Taylor stressed Canada's im-portance to us "as a strong sup-port to our Democratic ideal; herpolitical system is as solid, secure,and as democratic as any on earth,her governmental forms and func-tions naturally enough are modeledon the mother of Parliaments, andone realizes as he sits in the galleryof the Parliament at Ottawa, as Ihave done, that here is a delibera-tive body discussing affairs ofstate in a reasonable fashion, freefrom political hokum, and reveal-ing qualities of character and spiritas befit an able, energetic, and in-telligent yet modest, kindly andcourteous people."

"And so we need Canada butvastly more does Britain need Can-ada," said Mr. Taylor. "Britainemerged from the war victoriousand crowned with glory; she hasrealized, I believe, Churchill's im-mortal phrase, "her finest hour,"

but in material resources almostbled white, most of her accumu-lated wealth gone." The chances ofrecovering her former world tradeseem doubtful and the fairly cer-tain prospect that many thousandsof her skilled workers will emi-grate to Canada, Australia, andSouth Africa further lowers hermargin of recovery. A prominentFrench-Canadian said only lastweek: "I expect to see half ofEngland emigrating to Canadawithin the next ten years." Itseems logical that the capitalistswho are the driving force of Brit-ish industry will follow the work-ers with what remaining resourcesthe British Socialist Governmentwill permit them to possess,

Mr. Taylor stated that Canadahas been estimated as able to han-dle a population of 60,000,000. Thisthen is the land of promise forovercrowded Britain, and should itbe, as we may reasonably conceive,beyond Britain's declining power

to maintain the tremendous ex-pense of her great navy which hashitherto protected her far-flungempire, then and in that event,what more fitting that Canadashould take her place and "maywell become the most prominentof all the heirs of Britain's great-ness."

After the dinner and thebusiness meeting, at which certainplans for more direct participationin civic activity were discussed,Professor Edwin Minis, formerhead of the department of Englishof Vanderbilt University, spoke onthe subject, "Some Misconceptionsof England and the British Em-pire." He refuted such ideas asthat the English tiled to take ad-vantage of the United States inthe late war, that the English haveno sense of humor, that they arestiff and cold in social intercourse.Professor Mims related many im-pressions gained not only from hisprolonged study of English his-tory and civilization, but especiallyfrom his experience as CarnegieVisiting Lecturer, when he visiteda number of universities, and hadample opportunity to see the En-glish as they are, patient, stable,courageous, progressive, friendly.Profesor Mims concluded by voic-ing his belief that it is supremelyimportant at the present time thatthe English - speaking peoplesshould understand each other andcooperate for the promotion ofpeace and world welfare.

DR. HOSIC ANALYZESAVERAGE AMERICAN

In contrast to the old Germanadage that "man is what lie eats"(man ist was er isst) Dr. JamesP. Hosic analyzed the Americanaccording to what he reads, inmagazines or newspapers, or towhat he listens to over the radio.The inference was left to the in-dividual listeners in the audienceas to whether they belonged to the15 million readers of the four slickmagazines, or the four hundredthousand readers of the "highbrow" periodicals. Whether theyread for "escape" or for informa-tion; whether they listened to radiomusic or performance, in prefer-ence to playing themselves; wheth-er for them, too, as for most of theUnited States, they spent last yearthree times as much for cosmeticsand chewing gum as for educationand religion must give one pause.21 billion dollars spent last yearfor play in this country is an in-dictment which is hard to answer,but is very indicative of the char-acter of the average American,—70 million listeners of radio, 85million at the movies.

Dr, Hosic stressed the responsi-bility of using the term "Ameri-can" for citizens of the UnitedStates of North America, since thesame title can be used by allcitizens of South America, and ofCanada. As Americans, too, weface the accusation of being mostopenly engrossed in our pursuit ofmoney, of political power, of pleas-ure ,and to a very small degree of

erudition, according to Dr. BernardIddings Bell, in the current issueof the ATLANTIC.

America has progressed from itsearly background, through itspioneer days ,to the present dizzyheight of its industrial, scientific,economic, and intellectual achieve-ment. That progress puts upon herthe responsibility of leadershipin the world of today and of to-morrow. Dr. Hosic closed with achallenge to each citizen to takehis part in meeting that responsi-bility ,

THE BARERE RECITALWinter Parkians -who were for-

tunate enough to hear Simon Barerethe Russian pianist at the CivicMusic concert in the Orlando Au-ditorium last week will long re-member his playing. Practicallyunknown here except through afew publicity notices in the localpapers (and we know too often howmisleading "publicity" can be),Barere transformed the Auditoriuminto a temple of musical art inwhich his audience bowed with rap-ture before a demonstration oftalent seldom 'equalled.
