It was most appropriate that theTenth Anniversary of the BachFestival of Winter Park shouldhave a special distinction. Therewas no advance notice that a groupof the finest instrumentalists, for-merly of the most renowned or-chestras, would take part and itwas only their war-time presencein uniform here in this militaryarea which made this marvel pos-sible. To Sgt. Leonard Sorkin, con-cert master of the Chicago Sym-phony; Sg't. George Sopkin, prin-cipal 'cellist of the same organiza-tion, Pfc. Emile Opava, solo flutistof Mitropoulis' Minneapolis Sym-phony; Pfc. Arthur Best, oboe; Pfc.Leonard Sharrow, bassoon, of Tos-'

canani'a NBC Symphony, the Fes-tival was indebted for masterlyplaying that enriched the orchestraand gave to the solo numbers ob-ligati of rare beauty.

Another aspect of this TenthFestival might be found in themore definite recognition that theseannual performances of .Bach's nui-,.sic are to be considered as a com-munity movement in which notonly those who take part but theauditors devote themselves to jtsfuller understanding and apprecia-tion. The Festival was founded ina devotional atmosphere with theb e a u t i f u l Knowles MemorialChapel as its setting, the fresh,young voices of the Rollins ChapelChoir and the grand organ as itsmusical foundation, and at no timehas there ever been any attempt topublicize the Festival as a seriesof concerts. The best available so-loists from the musical centershave been engaged not to be usedas magnets for a sale of tickets butto raise the artistic standard tothe highest possible plane, and to

PROF. FRANCE GIVES REALISTIC APPRAISAL OFPOST-WAR PROBLEM OF GERMANY

The problem of what to do withGermany after the war is endedwas given a realistic and carefullymeasured treatment by ProfessorRoyal W. France, of Rollins Col-lege, at the Congregational Churchyesterday afternoon in the MartinLecture Series. Professor Francemade an appeal for a rationalviewpoint regarding Germany andbacked it up with historical fact.The following is a summary ofProfessor France's address:

What we all want is permanentpeace. Our interest will be servedby dealing with Germany in theway best calculated to securepeace. Herbert Hoover correctlysaid, "Victory with vengeance isultimate defeat. We can have peaceor we can have revenge but we can-not have both. There can be nolasting peace in Europe with a dis-membered Germany any more thanthere could be lasting peace in

North America if other nations hadtried to separate the states or putpart of them under Mexico."

Before we can think rationallyabout the peace we must disabuseour minds of the following illu-sions:

1. That the Germans are a badrace. Most of us in the UnitedStates whose forefathers camefrom England, France, Germany,Holland, Belgium, or some otherwestern European country have acommon ancestry which grew outof those German tribes who poureddown from the territory roughlyincluded between the Rhine, theNorth Sea, the Oder and the Dan-ube.

2, That Germany is an especiallywarlike nation: Professor QuincyWright in "Study of War," showsthat of the wars of the past 400years, Great Britain has been en-

secure memorable interpretationsof the solo numbers. It is the be-lief of the Festival Committee thateach year will bring about a deeperrealization of the enriching influ-ence of this devotion to great mu-sic in the community.

It is not in keeping with such aconception of the Festival to treatit in the attitude of a critical re-viewer. It is not a hard task to findfaults in performance or report dif-ferences of opinion with the detailswhich come under the responsibil-ity of the conductor. It is more im-

f portant to report the progress thatis being made from Festival toFestival, the smoother perform-ances as a whole, the deepeningconsciousness to more inspiring ex-pression, the definite increase inresponsibility for precision, nuance,timing and many other details thatdevelop as the chorus studies itsscores.

To Dr. Christopher 0. Honaas,the Conductor, should go a majortribute for the high plane main-tained throughout the Festival, butespecially for the "Mass in BMinor." His were the burden ofconstant rehearsing, of inspiringhis forces \vith enthusiasm and de-votion, of moulding their voicesinto forms of musical color andeffectiveness. Dr. Herman F. Sie-wert and Jesse Pedrick Baker, or-ganists, and Katherine Carlo, pian-ist, contributed masterly accom-paniments. The solo instrumental-ists, besides those of the militarypreviously mentioned, included Al-phonse Carlo, violinist, who sharedthe major obligati with SergeantSorkin and played as usual withbeautiful tone. Also effective in theorchestra were Pfc. Ernest Drucker,Pfc. Berl Senofsky, Pfc. BernardGerrard, and Cpl. Robert Nones,violins; Helen Blaehly, 'cello, and

Festival was assured of distin-g-uished interpretation and impres-sive singing1, for all four had beenheard here previously with markedapproval. Miss Lura Stover, soprano,was handicapped by a cold and mis-haps in her long trip from NewYork, but she acquitted herself ablyin the Mass in her duets with MissLydia Summers, contralto, andHarold Haugh, tenor. Miss Sum-mers made the most of the threeoutstanding- solo numbers in theMass, her rendition of "Qui sedes"and "Agnus Dei" noteworthy forflexibility and beauty of tone. Har-old Haugh, tenor, was at his bestin the great, aria "Benedictus"which was sung1 with breadth ofphrasing and vocal richness. J. Al-den Edkins, baritone, demonstratedthe unusual range, warmth and no-bility of his voice in the two ariasof the Mass, "Quoniam tu solus"and "Et in Spiritum."

The opening of the Festival onThursday afternoon was made es-pecially impressive by the subduedplaying of one of Bach's Choraleson the organ solo by Jesse PedrickBaker. With the sunlight glowingin the beautiful rose window overthe gallery lighting the faces ofthe chorus as they rose tier upontier to the vault' of the Chancel,the soft harmonies reached withinthe hearts of many and carriedrepose.

Of the many passages in theMass that were deeply moving oneespecially was felt by the writer:the spiritual change that seemed tocome after the rather "florid duetfor soprano and tenor, "DomineDeus" when, without any interrup-tion the altos, seemingly withbowed heads, began the "Qui tollis"—a mystical rite in choral form inwhich each of the four voices ofthe chorus brings in on an almostunrelated key the same phrasingof contrition, as though Bach wellknew that He who bears the sinsof the world bears both those ofthe fortunate and the wretched,the repentant and the unrepentant.

gaged in 78, France in 71, Spainin 64, Russia in 61, Holland in 23,Germany in 23 and Japan in 9.Napoleon III provoked the Franco-Prussian war and Britain then waspro-German. From 1870 to 1914Germany • was the only importantEuropean country which did notengage in any war.

3. That Versailles was a softpeace: Professor France comparedthe promises made to" Germany ofpeace <in the basis of Wilson's 14points !with the treaty actuallymade of which Former Ambassadorto France William C. Bullitt said,"The cumulative effect of thetreaty yvas one of rancorous sever-ity. There were within the treatytoo many talking points for spe-cialists '. in hatred like Hitler." Ifit had not been for the Treaty ofVersailles Hitler would still be anunknown paper hanger in Munich.

4. Germany is all one—all Ger-mans are alike: That is not true.The Germans were the first victimsof the | unspeakable Hitler, Theywere fighting against him insideGermany, many thousands going toconcentration camps arid death atthe very time when England,France and even ourselves weretrying- to appease him in Spain, inCzecho-Slovakia and elsewhere. Thehighest vote the Nazi party everpolled in a free election was in1932 when they polled 37% of thevotes.

Germany has suffered under Hit-ler from the most despicable lead-ership and the Nazis have per-petrated the worst crimes on thelargest scale in modern history.The Allies have lists of over 160,-000 known Nazi criminals. Theywill be given swift and terriblepunishment, but we can't executethe masses of the German people,They have to live and we have tolive with them. We can't deprivethem of the means of living.Roosevelt, C h u r c h i l l and Stalinhave all stated that it is not ourintention to destroy Germany orthe German people. As Churchillput it, "We are not extirpators ofnations or butchers of peoples."

Professor France discussed theYalta decisions to see what lightthey throw on the prospects -of apeace which will enable a Germanycontrolled by her democratic forcesto survive. The military occupationis inevitable and yet unfortunatebecause nothing embitters a peoplemore than to be held under the ruleof foreign armies, This rule shouldlast only until a government ofthe democratic forces in Germanycan be set up.

No one, will object to the punish-ment of Hitler and his gangsters,nor to Germany paying reparationsin kind, as decided upon, to the ex-tent of her ability. But it must notbe forgotten that ten to twentymillions Germans will have beenkilled, her cities destroyed, her in-dustries wrecked, her markets goneand that Germany will have a hardtask just to survive. The disarma-ment of Germany will do the Ger-man people good rather than harmif Germany is treated fairly with

' respect to raw materials and mar-kets, but if advantage is taken ofher because of her military weak-ness, some new Hitler will arise todemand revenge.

Handing East Prussia and UpperSilesia, strictly German areas, overto Poland, is contrary to the spiritof the Atlantic Charter and will bea source of difficulty in the future.If Germany recovers, Poland willbe able to hold these German landsonly by the help of Russia, makingPoland potentially a vassal ofRussia.

The peace proposed at Yalta isa harsh peace. Whether it gives achance to the democratic forces inGermany to establish a successfuldemocracy depends in large meas-ure on the way in which the peaceis administered. The provision inthe Dumbarton Oaks proposals al-lowing any one of the five perma-nent members of the council toblock any amendment is bad.

It lends a helping hand to the thousands ofreturning service men—sick, wounded—des-perately in need of friendly guidance.

And remember, YOU... and you alone...keep the Bed Cross alive. For without your

Our duty is clear... we must keep the RedCross at the side of our fighting men and ourwounded heroes. We must help the Red Crossin its vital job of sending food and medicineto war prisoners . . . aiding the ill and lonelyoverseas . . .collecting life-giving bloodplasma.
