ISSUES IN MEXICAN

SITUATION OUTLINED

Professor Curtis Questions Amcrii

Attitude Toward Attempts

For Nationalism

IS V. S. POLICY JUSTIFIED?

The key to the present difficulties

with Mexico is to be found in the wonconfiscation. It is impossible in ;

terms of the Mexican petroleum ani

alien land laws. It is sufficient, to sa;

that the State Department regard;

these laws as unquestionably confix

catory of American rights and prop

erty. The opponents of arbitrator

declare that since this is so, there

is nothing to arbitrate with Mexico.

Our case is so clear that arbitration

would be a waste of time.

Those in favor of arbitration assert

that while the State Department maybe correct in denouncing the Mexicanlaws as confiscatory, there is room for

doubt. No word in the lawyer's lexi-

con is susceptible of so many interpre-

tations as the word confiscation. Eversince the foundation of our govern-

ment, the courts have been engagedin defining and re-defining its meaning.

Whenever a state legislature attempts

by statute to regulate public utilities,

rent charges, or the hours and condi-

tions of labor, the charge is madeby parties adversely affected that the

legislation is confiscatory, and the

courts are called to decide whetherthis is so or not. No question, say

the proponents of arbitration, is so

well adapted to judicial investigation

and determination as the question as

to whether a given statute is confis-

How stand the official spokesmenof the United States and Mexico?President Calles has said: "We wil

accept arbitration if necessary al

though it involves peril for the sov

ereignty of nations." President Cool

idge feels that "if the American people

fully realized that the issue i

property legally owned by Americancitizens in Mexico is to be confisca

Senate has placed itself on recorc

with mental conflict. The life stories

Gastone the Animal Tamer by Mor-selli is highly farcical. Gastone, help-less in the face of the provoking series

SOUND AND FURY

A historian of some centuries hencelooking back on our foibles will un-doubtedly place far above the absurdi-

ties of our censorship the complacencywith which we, a peace-loving people,

accept the propoganda of our war-lords.

He will view with surprise our period-

icals, giving equal prominence to senti-

of

of

gua. If he had our moving picture

news reels as a source he could hardly

fail to draw parallels between post-war

America and pre-war Prussia. I

the martial music which accompanies

submarines and marching troops, andthe applause which greets each appear-ance of our flag waving supreme ovei

our magnificent armaments, he could

undoubtedly censor international bro-

therhood as a hoax of this fun-loving

century, "full of sound and fury, sig-

nifying nothing.*' He would rub his

hands in glee at the discovery of sogreat a wealth of statistics but shakehis head in despair on investigation.

Now he would return to the hypothesis

of intemationlism for explanation, nowmelt into astonishment at the stupidity

of a people who spend 91 per cent of

tax income for army and navy.

If we are sorry for the perplexities

of the coming historian, how muchmore must we pity ourselves, who lack

that each college at the beginning of

the academic year add one dollar to

the amount required of each studentfor the support of the College Govern-ment Association.

THE CONSTANT NYMPH

who have not read the book receive

an unjust impression of the characters

from the play, Margaret Kennedy's TheConstarit Nymph, is a good play.

Sanger, the great musical genius

lived in the Austrian Tyrols, a country

which furnished a strong natural in-

spiration to the ardent love of music

imparted by the master to his daughter,

Tessa, and to his devoted pupil Lewis

Dodd. In the first scene Sanger dies,

when the Cambridge professor,

to the girls, brings his daughter

nee to settle Sanger's affairs, the

annoyingly corpulent and sensuous

stepmother makes a dramatic exit from:e home with Trigorin, a silly French-

an caught by her wiles.

Throughout the play, except in those

beautiful executed scenes between Tessa

and Lewis, we are aware of a deplorable

coarsening of the original characters.

Florence, whose unsuitable marriage

with Lewis causes the tragedy of the

story because she is incapable of un-

derstanding his finer sensibilities, is a

creature more shallow and insipid than

we would like, but her father, the

professor, is superbly played. One canforgive the play all its faults during

the last evening when the presentation

of Lewis's concerto furnishes the oc-

casion for an intensely dramatic scene

between Lewis and Tessa, whose parts

are excellently done by Glenn Anders

and Beatrix Thomson.

FOCUSSED ON THE SCREEN

Faust Is Coming Next WeekFriday and Saturday, April 29 and 30,

James Oliver Curwood's Country Be-

yond is playing at Wellesley Hills. Theplot is a highly complicated one dealing

with the fortunes of a Canadian girl

who dances like a fairy and is brutally

treated by her husband. Much ofthe

scenery is taken in a part of Canadavery little known. Monty Banks in

Atta Boy is a rather hilarious addition

to the program, chronicling the adven-

tures of a young copy boy who is told

for spite that he has been made a

kidnapped baby.

Monday and Tuesday. May 5 and 6,

a truly great picture will be shown at

the Playhouse, Goethe's Faust. The

Lightness and Darkness for the soul of

man has been caught in this production

with rare-skill, and the film constitutes

one of the cases where motion pictures

have been able to take a classic and do

it justice. Don't make the mistake of

missing Faust.

CAMPUS CRITIC

BOSTON SYMPHONY

The concert by the Boston SymphonyOrchestra on Wednesday evening April

20th included, among its many i

a delightful program, an accomplished

conductor, and musicians superbly

trained. It is no wonder, then,

we have to restrain ourselves from

fatuous eulogies in estimating the

suit of that splendid combination.

Observing a chronological order

convenience—we liked the Prokoiieff

Classical Symphony No. 25. It is

effort to catch the spirit of Mozart,

Mr. Felix Borowski has pointed <

imitable Guitrys. A certain airy dain-

tiness, the predominating use of strings,

skillful counterpoint combine to pro-

duce the Mozartean illusion. Graceful

as this composition is, it lacks the vi-

tality of originality.

In

number was the Symphonic Poem oLoeffler. "Life in a Russian Village

is a worthy theme for program music

judging by the admirable treatment i

received. Beginning with a melancholy

peasant song, it proceeds to a stih

darker Litany, later a Fairy Tale and u

wild dance, and ends rather moodihwith the first theme relieved by a morecheerful melody. What at once im-

pressed us was the variety of color,

and the superb, orchestration. Emo-tionally it is both Russian and peasant;

musically it is a masterful interpre-

tation of a "program."

The hilarious Flivver Ten Millions

by Converse provided much material

for discussion, if nothing else. A com-poser with a sense of humor may be

refreshing, but he generally forfeits

his claim to immortality. Flivver TenMillion, while clever and ingenious, is

self-conscious and provincial. It hasmuch to recommend it in the

variety, color, pictorial suggestion, but

the music is not that of the modern in-

tellectuals, nor can it be compared ad-

vantageously with Gershwin's Rhap-sody in Blue, for instance, because thelow- brow element of American musicis very subtle, very hard to catch, im-possible to imitate.

The Tschaikowsky Symphony No. 5,

in E Minor, was glorious! The mag-nificent theme of the Andante, the un-forgettable melody of the AndanteCantabile almost suffice for themselves,

in spite of their brevity. In addition,

Tschaikowsky handled his material as

only he knew how, exhibiting his in-

WELLESLEY COLLE G E NEWSGEOMETRICAL BASIS OF VASES

LEADS TO METHOD OF DESIGI

A belief in the discovery that certaii

well known principles of geometry wen

used by the Egyptians and to a gTeate

extent by the Greeks in their composi

tional designs for sculpture and pottery

has resulted in the reduction of these

principles to their simplest elements

by Mr. Howard Giles, who spoke of his

investigations and conclusions, Thurs-

day night, April 20. Mr. Giles, in speak-

ing of geometry in relation to design,

said that he considered it as a co-

ordinating element but not as a process

for the artist since art is a personal

matter. Mi*. Giles was a pupil of Mi'.

Hambidge who first conceived and

investigated the idea that Greek de-

signs and vase forms had a geometri-

cally symmetrical basis. Mr. Giles and

fellow students have reduced the most

important elements in Hambidge's

theory to three propositions, the whirl-

ing squares, the Phales proposition ol

The choice of a monologue for thp

second play was a bold and dangerous

one which was, however, fully justi-

fied by Helen Steers, who gave an in-

terpretation reminiscent of Ruth Drap-

er. "Before Breakfast" by Eugene

O'Neill is all that its name implies—

way Is the play "dressed to re-

company." Helen Steers as Mrs.

Rowland succeeded amazingly well in

ifficult task of giving an atmo-

sphere of sordid and unsympathetic

tragedy, throwing herself into the part

to short speeches might possibly havr

;en cut to advantage.

The hilarious farce which followed

provided a striking contrast. "Pokey"

by Phillip Moeller, is not as high in the

Pythagorean theory of the square of thi

hypotenuse. Mr. Giles showed hov

quickly and intuitively the plane geom

etry gives the illusion of the third di

mension.

Mr. Giles based most of his designs

on a rectangle divided in the propor

tions 3, 5, 8, with its diagonals. The

six directions of this rectangle w

their repeats formed the framework

innumerable and varied designs. The,3,5,

in the proportions of the rectangle is

the divine proportion of Leonardo,

forms harmonies in music, and is found

in the same ratio in nature as well as in

the proportions of Greek temples.

Mr. Giles quoted a letter of John

there are laws for the eyes as well as

Innumerable drawings made by Mr.

Giles illustrated the points of this

theory, showing that the diagonal of a

given space is the line which gives

greatest motion, that the right angle

gives dignity and power at once, and

that the part is similar to the whole

and vice versa, with the only difference

one of magnitude. Mr. Giles said that

the system was not a formula to ham-

per design but a method of liberating

the designer by revealing his limita-

tions. He expressed the belief that

there would be no modern art so long

as there is a stupid clinging to imitative
