PAGE 4 THE BATTALION THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 27, 1945 I Something to Read By Edna B. Woods When a man with the ability to write has something to write about, the result is comparable to the product of Edgar Snow’s experi ences in India-, Russia, and China during 1942 and 1943. The People On Our Side. Edgar Show’s most recent book, published late in 1944, is the sixth book to be labelled “imperative” by the Council of Books in Wartime. In India, Mr. Snow found wealth and poverty, British imperialism and Hindu castes, Royal princes and social economic oppression. He found, in India, that the average native lives on less than five cents a day and that the average worker earns little more than fifteen cents a day for a fifty-four hour week. He also found the Nizam of Hyber- abab whose fortune amounted to $250,000,000 in gold bullion, be sides two billion dollars worth of- precious stones and coins. Religion is the most important LOUPOT’S A LITTLE PLACE - - - ; - A BIG SAVINGf - single factor in India; for in India, religion determines such things as when a man bathes, what he eats and with whom he dines, and whom he marries. Nine out of ten Indians is either a Hindu or a Moslem. The Hindu caste system is one of the cruellist, most un-democratic social practices in effect today. There are four major castes of Hinduism; it’s impossible to change caste, to marry with one of another caste, or even to mingle freely with members of other castes. Another fifty million Hindus who belong to none of these castes are called the “Untouchables;” they literally pollute by their touch. Forced to live a life of almost complete segre gation, they cannot worship in the temples or in the shrines; they cannot use the utensils of others, or even draw water from the village wells. And Mr. Snow points out that though the origin of Untouch- ability is obscure, this is one evil which the British can’t be held responsible for. The Russians look forward to progress after the war. National planning is glready accepted in Russia, and without any organized internal opposition, the Russians feel confident of the future.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK Snow says that looking at Russia and Russian accomplishments as one comes from Asia furnishes a much more impressive view than the view one gets, if he approach es Russia directly from the United States. The filth, poverty, disease, and economic and political chaos in Asia, make Russia appear ex tremely favorable by comparison. On the International front, Rus sia’s chief objective is to sur round herself with pro-Russian countries. It isn’t hard for Amer icans, who also like pro-American countries at her borders, to under stand that objective. Russia has no intention of returning to an ob scure niche after the war, allowing other nations to direct internation al affairs; but indications are that she is willing to make whatever agreements are necessary to main tain general peace. China in 1943, was more econo mically chaotic and more politically reactionary than in 1936, when Ed gar Snow lived there.

Bain guards closely as a profes sional secret his method of enab ling his singers to start their pro grams without permitting the audience to discover how they re ceive their pitch. The choir, since its formation five years ago, has presented over two hundred and fifty concerts in five states in the southwest, in cluding twelve radio broadcasts, and appearances before the State Convention for the Texas Federa tion of Women’s Clubs at Austin; before the Baptist General Con vention in Dallas; the Texas Con gress of Parents and Teachers at Dallas; the State Convention of the ^exas State Teachers Associ ation, 1939 and 1940, San Antonio and Fort Worth; the Texas Super intendents Conference at Austin; the Oklahoma Music Educators Association, 1940 and 1941, Okla homa City and Tulsa; and The Texas Music Educators Conference at Mineral Wells, etc. Concert programs are an hour and ten minutes in length. The music is unaccompanied; at no time during the performance is any instrument used, either for accompaniment or for securing the starting pitch. Although many of the composi tions are sacred music, since much At Bryan Rotary Institute Meeting Russia after the war wants only peaceful opportunity to rebuild and develop, Samuel D. Rosen of Chicago, native-born Russian, de clared Friday night at Stephen F. Austin High School before resi dents of Bryan and College Station. He was discussing Russia as a new force in world affairs as the first of four weekly meetings sponsored by the Bryan Rotary Club and ar ranged by Rotary’s Institute of In ternational Understanding. Joseph Stalin proved himself the right man in the right place at the right time, Mr. Rosen asserted in reviewing the struggle of ideaology between Stalin and Trotsky follow ing the death of Lenin seven years after the revolution that overthrew the Tsaristic regime in 1917. Sta lin represented the beliefs as mani fested by the strong and stable government of today, while the followers of Trotsky held to the idea of world revolution. Frequent reference was made to the lifespan of the Russian govern ment being only 27 years, a mere day as time is measured, that in so short a period a people can not go all the way from primitive agri culture and serfdom, with an illi teracy of 80 per cent, to an en lightened democracy as repre sented by the United States. Mr. Rosen told how under Lenin the family as a unit was broken up, churches and schools were closed, and benefits were made to workers in proportion to their needs. Under Stalin, family ties have been restored, churches and schools have reopened, literacy has become the rule instead of the exception, and the basic idea is to give each worker what he earns. This has restored the classes found in every civilized country and is paving the way for a happier and a more prosperous country. The speaker admitted that there had been just reason for the balance of the world fearing and mistrust ing Russia, that the leading nations after World War I had attempted to build a wall of nations around the Soviets and this in turn had made Russia fear and mistrust oth er countries and people. Mr. Rosen believed these fears no longer need exist. Some of the more important steps taken in late years by the Soviets were seen by the speaker as reali zation that war with Germany was coming and these methods were necessary to place the country in the strongest position possible in the short time available. Next address in this series will war of imperialism. Mr. Snow is appalled that the supplies delivered to China are not used entirely to fight Japan and aren’t even avail-- able to the Chinese “Reds” who, in his opinion, have fought the Jap anese most effectively up to the present time. Edgar Snow’s searching mind and exceptional ability as a writer are matched with his sense of humor and abounding interest in people. And The People On Our Side is well written, entertaining, and informative. It is good be cause it emphasizes the little peo ple, who in the end win or lose wars and mold history. Edgar Snow’s book really helps us to understand these people on our side. BOTH ONLY $1.50 75* This is a real bargain in a double feature because both are as good as money can buy.

The program is designed to give a paporamic view of choral music from the time of Bach to the most elevated church music, such as the great motet for double choir, J. S. Bach’s “Sing Ye to the Lord,” to Negro spirituals and the stirring “Ballad for Americans.” The secret of the choir’s success lies in the rigid discipline that the conductor imposes during the long hours of rehearsal and in the in tense concentration required dur ing the performance itself. Dr. Bain, who holds the doctor’s degree from New York University, has taught in Houghton College, where he developed one of the finest college choirs in the East. It appeared in hundreds of con certs and made radio broadcasts including twelve over coast-to- coast networks of the National Broadcasting Company and the Columbia Broadcasting Company. Bain joined the permanent faculty of the North Texas State Teachers College in the fall of 1938 as head of the music department of the college. There he has formed a choir of forty musicians which has leaped into prominence as one of the finest musical organizations of its kind in the southwest. Former Professor of Pet. Eng. Promoted A. B.
