MONEY FOR MUSIC
Money for music is the present problem of the
Juneau-Douglas Concert Association which is now In j
the midst of a membership drive. ,
On the success of that drive depends the 1951-52
series of Alaska Music Trail concerts. Three concerts '
are scheduled for the series, and the first is less than
three weeks away.
To assure the season of ’‘live” music, a member
ship committee of Juneau and Douglas people and of
students is canvassing the town, former members of
the concert association and new people in Juneau and
Douglas who have not been here for previous
■concerts.
First concert will be baritone Donald Gramm.
The second, in November, will bring miniature opera
to Juneau with Tomiko Kanazawa, lyric soprano, and
Cesare Curzi. leading tenor, in duo presentations of
opera and light opera in concert. Both of these
artists have outstanding talent attested by glowing
reviews of their appearances in San Francisco, New
York and in Europe.
April will bring the final concert of the series
and its artist will be famous violinist Bronislav
Gimpel, of whom a Paris review said, "This artist has
come to us, the equal of the greatest." ,
This is a good program — would be a fine pro
gram for a city many times as large as Juneau—and
can only be given in Alaska's small cities through
the aid of the Alaska Music Trail orgnization.
Alaska towns on the Alaska Music Trail are
fortunate. It is up to us to provide the concert
association with the money it needs to bring this
live music to Juneau.
THE DANGER OF WAR INCREASED?
Insistence upon prompt and speedy organization
of fighting forces in Europe leads some Americans to
wonder whether the threat of war is more imminent
now than when the United States began to rearm.
There can be no positive answer. Everybody
recognized that there was the danger, if the Soviet
Union was determined upon the use of force to
advance its ambitions, that, before permitting us to
balance the military advantage of the Russians, the
Communist leaders would take the risk of war. The
theory was that the Russians, having an advantage,
would use it before we could be strong enough to
thwart their aggression.
While much progress has been made in the work
of creating forces for the defense of Europe there is
nothing like a balance, as of this time. The European
contingents arc hardly more than getting underway.
The Soviet still maintains an enormous superiority of
armed force on the continent. This, in the opinion
of Winston Churchill, has been held in check by our
advantage in the atomic bomb.
The Soviet Union, despite its recent history, may
not want to risk all-out war. Then again, the Soviet
leaders, may be convinced that the western world,
once its armed forces arc expanded, will attempt to
use force against Russia. This latter theory would
support the belief that rather than let us build our
military forces, as planned, the Russians will take
the initiative and start the conflict.
We have no way of knowing what the Russians
have in their minds, or what the future will bring
As we see the world picture the rearmament pro
gram was a necessity to prevent the possible sub
jugation of the free.world and the abolition of much
of what we consider vital personal liberties. This
being true, we have no course but to pursue our
present policy, whether it brings war or not. We
cannot afford to depend upon the good will of the
Kremlin leaders for the right to live.
The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
vC'ontinued from Page One)
Jennings Bryan Democrat and made
his first speech at a Jackson Day
dinner.
Regardless of that early back
ground. there is no question but
that General Eisenhower wants to
run as a Republican—for a very
I good reason.: H«. feels thut a new
President, backed by a new party,
could use a completely new broom.
If elected as a Democrat, on the
other hand, he would be so under
obligation to President Truman
personally and to those around
him that he could not clean house.
The cronies and mediocrities would
hang on.
That position, in the opinion of
this observer, makes sense. Whoever
is elected in 1952 should be obli
gated to no one except his cons
cience and the American people.
GOP’S GREATEST MISTAKE
Biggest mistake the Republicans
have made in recent years is to
take seriously the overconfidence
of their Illinois National Commit
teeman, Werner Schroeder, who
once said: "The Republican Party
can even win with a Chinaman.”
The GOP must face the fact that
the majority of people in the U.S.A.
today arc registered Democrats, and
if a Republican President is to be
elected, a man must be nominated
who can persuade Democrats to
cross the party line.
Unlike the old-line politicians, a
lot of people in this country con
sider their country more important
than their party, but they must
have a truly inspiring leader of the
Eisenhower variety to make them
cross over.
At any rate. Eisenhower’s early
record as a Democrat might turn
out to be an asset. Real fact is that
the Eisenhower family was among
the few Democrats in rock-ribbed;
Republican Abilene. Kans., and1
Dwight’s father had so little polit
ical pull that J. W. Howe, editor
of the Abilene News and leading
Democrat of the town, had to advise
the youngster on how to get his
West Point appointment.
What helped him was that Kansas
Republicans at that time were bit
terly split between the square-deal
ers, who followed Teddy Roosevelt,
and the stand-patters, who followed
Taft. So Eisenhower, a bright and
friendly youngster, took the advice1
of Editor Howe, went around to
see both factions, and got the en
dorsement of each.
This was enough for GOP Sen.
Joseph P. Bristow, who gave Ike
the coveted West Point appointment.
JACKSON DAY SPEECH
Eisenhower has made thousands
of speeches during his long career,
but his- first and perhaps only pol
itical speech was made at the age
cf 13 before the Jackson Day din- j
ner in Abilene. Kans. George H.
Hodges, a leading Democrat and
later Governor of Kansas, was the
-|hief speaker, and Dwight was
chosen as the one speaker to repre
sent the younger Democrats. His
title was: “The Student in Politics.”
"There is an old proverb that
says ’as the twig is bent the tree's
inclined’,” began that earnest young i
Democrat who later decided he
wanted to become a Republican. “A
man after voting the straight ticket
for several elections seldom chang
es from one side to the other.
"This fact is proved conclusively
by the controversy now going on
in the Republican Party. One branch
is called the square-dealers, insur
gents, and reformers. Although these
men are loud in their denunciation
of Cannon, Aldrich, and a few others
who are hide-bound party men,
yet they refuse to join any other
party and at election vote the Re
publican ticket. . .
"There is an inborn desire in all
normal and healthy boys to help
the smaller contestants in an even
fight,” Eisenhower continued. “A
young man, in speaking of the pol
itical situation the other day, said:
‘My father is a Republican and so
was his father, but I am going to
vote for the Democrats at the next
election because I think they need
me and the Republicans do not.’
BOOSTS DEMO PRINCIPLES
"But notwithstanding such rea
sons as an admiration of fair play,
the parental vote, and the like,
a man’s first vote generally is cast
correctly. He has arrived at an
age of great self-confidence and
has acquired a feeling of self-im
portance, for he figures that he will
be about 1-15 of a millionth part of
the vote of the United States. . .
"A leader of a p(*itical party
who is a clean and fearless fighter,”
concluded young Eisenhower, “and
possesses a winning manner is un
doubtedly the means of attracting
a large number of votes. The young
man sees that the more honest and
fearless leaders have become dis
gusted with the actions of the
leaders and the party proper. He
admires these men greatly but he
cannot help but think and remark
that they are fighting for many
of the same principles which the
Democratic Party advocated.”
That was Dwight Eisenhower's
first and last contribution to the
Democratic Party. According to the
Abilene News:
“To say that he handled himself
nicely would be putting it mildly.
His speech was well-received.”
A few months later, Ike Eisen
hower was in West Point, where
no one is supposed to be either a
Democrat or a Republican.
