FOSTER COMES INTO HIS OWN!
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY has announced the elec-
tion of Stephen Collins Foster to its celebrated
campus Hall of Fame. The university does not honor
Foster to much as it honors itself.
Much lesser men have been chosen in past times.
Foster is the first musician to be selected and the one
most deserving.
He calls to mind the famous words of Andrew
Fletcher of Saltoun who flourished in the latter part
of the 17th century.
“Give me the making of the songs of a nation and
I care not who makes its laws.”
Many laws have been written in the United States
but it is doubtful whether the authors of any of them
will ever reach the immortality that is Foster's. A
\\ hole nation sang hjs songs just before the Civil War.
A whole nation is still singing them even in this age
of jazz and swing. His compositions have attained
the one guarantee of lasting life—they have become
genuine folk songs.
And the wonder is that it was Foster who wrote
them. Not that he did not have musical genius. In
fact like most musical and literary geniuses he
started young his first song being published when he
was only 16. Foster was born in the north near Pitts-
burgh but he became the veritable poet laureate of
the slave days in the south.
When he drifted down to Kentucky he seemed to
breathe in the very soul of the colored folk. He had
musical rhythms iike theirs. He had sentiments
often like theirs. He understood their deep love of
the very country in which they were enslaved.
His “Old Kentucky Home" has become the offi-
cial sting of the Bluegrass State. His “Old Black Joe"
“Old Folks at Home" (Suwanee River) and “Mas-
sa’s in the Cold Cold Ground” are American classics.
Maybe Foster had his happy days but many of
his songs are mournful. And the chances are that
this sadness came from the mishaps of his own life
a life which he himself helped to spoil by his impro-
vidence.
There were nights when he did not know where
he would lay his head. There were days when he
was threadbare. There were mealtimes when he
went hungry. This in spite of the fact that many
of his published songs brought him in good revenue.
There were nights when he sat on park benches with
shabby down-and-outs.
But nothing spoiled the natural decency of his
mind and heart. His melodies remained refined.
His songs remained clean. So they captured the
fancy of both young and old. So they gave their
author who died at 38 a sure immortality and a
hold on the affections of the plain people that is hard
to match.
TRAINING AN ARMY OF CRAFTSMEN
WELL abreast of the country's plan for the train-
ing of a peacetime conscription army is a vol-
untary scheme for the training of unemployed men
in highly technical mechanical lines.
Westinghouse has set a patriotic example in this
regard by lending some of its most expert craftsmen
to the teaching forces. Out of green men thus
taught will be created a new force of welders and
machine tool operators capable of taking much-need-
ed places in shops vital to the nation’s interests.
The educational work is already being carried on
in schools in Jersey City. Pittsburgh and Philadel-
phia. With other companies following this lead the
nation in time will have a new army of skilled workers
in the shops as well as a new army of soldiers in the
cantonments.

RIFT IN THE LITE
In the wake of the Act of Havana
hemisphere defense and Pan-Amer-
ican unity have been too generally
regarded as a beautiful symphony.
We Americans are credulous that
may. Because somebody says a
thing is so. it is so. Not enough
leeway has been allowed to the
skeptical mho base their apprehen-
sions on two simple facta:
Cl > there is not a genuine republic
south of the Rio Grande and <2> it
is n little ingenuous to as‘ume that
a deep-rooted and well-earned dis-
like of Americans of the United
States can disappear overnight from
countries that have been nourish-
ed for decades on the shortcomings
of our nation. These skeptics are
nut surprised at the disagreeable
news from Argentina carried the
other day by the Associated Press
That country the usual high of-
flrial is quoted as saying "is not
disposed to co-operate in any com-
mon (hemisphere! plan until we
consider danger of attack Is actually
here." Argentina he went on. re-
sents a* an Intrusion Into Its nat-
ural sphere of Influence the plan of
Paraguay and Uruguay to construct
with United States aid naval
ba.^e* open to all American nations
either of these positions Is in ac-
cord with the fine spirit of Havana
But by way of realism. It Is yet to
be demonstrated that the people
of the United State* can be stirred
to defend Patagonia A man with a
Job of feeding a family in Buenos
Aires may feel about defending New
York as a man earning a living In
New York felt about defending
Warsaw.
Grs ted that while the Act of
Hrvana embraces a good deal of
•idealism it 1s a very realistic view
of the Americas in a brutal world.
Effectuating hemispherical defense
. :s in the interests of every Ameri-
can country. But for that matter
the same interests would have been
[ served by assuring the continued
independence of European democra-
cies even if these were farther
away. Nobodv did anything about
the Czechs. Poles etc. except to
feel sorry for them and prayers
lute bullets were not very effective
against Hitler. The man in Buenos

for slaughtered civilians on Broad-
way and we Americans would cer-

WASHINGTON — Mr Roosevelt
has said he is satisfied with
••mast" of the defeiye progress.
The way certain congressman
phrase what may be the same
idea is that they are extremely
dissatisfied with ‘fome’ of it. A
member of a congressional military
rffairs committee tried for some
weeks *o secure from the general
staff figures on available modern
fighting aircraft. With persistence
he was able to pry loose the latest
data but upon reading it he found
It was so disturbing that he im-
mediately destroyed it.
Something of the same dissatis-
faction with current production
obviously lay behind War Secretary
Stimson’s public blast against com-
mercial plane production to the
injury of military production.
Vague talk of an investigation is
developing among congressmen but
it is doubtful that any strong step
in that direction will be taken. The
military committees may look into
the subject when the next ap-
propriation bills come up six weeks
or so hence. The general run of
congressmen however do not wish
to lay themselves open to a charge
of harassing the defense commis-
sion. It is strange that in Britain
at war. an outstanding leader like
Hore-Belisha is permitted to be;k
as he choases against British pletr
production while in the Unite'
States at peace few. if any official-
care to open the question serious 1:.
"THE TALK In internal ionallv
well-advised financial quarters
in New York is that Britain can-
not stand this air devastation of
her industrial cities more than
three or four months longer.
The disquieting news comes by
the usual financial graoevine from
London and. therefore probablv
represents what the British want
the ton American financial leader*
to believe. The supplementary ln-
fe-enre is that a "temnorarv peace”
might be effected before th* weath-
er clears in the spring This so-
ralkd inside information <not of-
ficial of course and not without
propaganda aspects! may explain
the neeuliar pessimism of the stock
market during last week
Washington is inclined to take
the sensational suggestion at far
less than Its face value The Brit-
ish obviously are embarked upon a
campaign to promote utmost Amer-
ican aid (including financial credits
from those same private financial
i rests in N»w York» From every
military standpoint available here.
B-itish strategic position is regard-
ed as serious but not nearly that
serious.
QBVIOUSLY ALL that Mr Roose-
velt would be required to do to
unify the country for a great co-
operative era of domestic peace and
industry in the third term is to
become the president of the 22-
000.000 who voted against him a«
well as the 27.000.000 who voted
for him—and there is every indica-
tion that this miracle may occur
Every word snoken bv the presi- *
dent in his last few press confer-
ences. every White House thought
relayed through congressmen and
officials since the election fever
subsided has indicated a quieter
n.ore carefully balanced tone of
poliev in the making.
If there was one matter which
Mr Roosevelt seemed earlier deter-
mined to pursue regardless of op-
position. it was the trend toward
intervention in Europe But even on
this phase lately he has appeared
to his callers weighing the effect*
of each step carefully.
While some deep rooted animnsitv
against the freedom of the press
was likewise evident before the
first flush of victory subsided only
a couple of minor symptoms have
developed the last two weeks
Provocative statements on taxes
spending the budget and buslne s
relations have been avoided Offi-
cial comment has tended distinctly
toward healing these old wounds.

HOLLYWOOD—As a slight but
encouraging indication that the
movies are growing up. I com-
? en' to your atention the char-
acter of Franchot Tone in “The
Trail of the Vigilantes**
Until a short while ago—about
the time touches of high satire
made a hit in • Destrv Ride*
Again'—nobody could have dream-
ed cf showing the hero of a west-
ern in anything but a thoroughly
heroic light.
But Tone is a tenderfoot and
he remains a tenderfoot. As an
eastern peace officer who goes
into the cow country to nab some
evildoers he's a terrible horse-
man. He has to have a hitch rail
or a box or something to mount
his nag. Even when the outlaws
are pursuing him he must wa.te
precious seconds by climbing tc
the edge of a watering trough and
from there into the saddle.
Writh such a situation most di-
rectors would have the leading man
riomg like a centaur—with the
aid of doubles—by the beginning
of Reel 3. Allan Dwan though
lieeps Tone bouncing around
awkward but game all through
the picture. Once he rides into a
saloon and is bucked off into a
chandelier.
At the end. triumphant In his
mission and having won the girl
Tone exuberantly makes a dash
for his horse and you feel sure
that this time he's going to suc-
ceed in leaping aboard. And he
might too. except that the hor>e
trie* to be helpful and kneels sud-
denly. with the result that Tone
goes hurtling over him and into
the v.ust.
H'true Needs A Double
For Me bucking scene they
actunlly use a double for Tone's
regular mount because Joaquim
sin’ply won't misbehave. He’s high-
school trained and gentle enough
to be trusted with the priceless
necks of matt of the non-equestrian
stars of Hollywood. You've seen him
scores of times.
Joaquim is almost constantly
in demand at $100 a day. But this
is partly because he s a paint and
therefore is especially photogenic
The best horse in pictures is a sor
