"When I' refer to good 'music and bad music, I do not mean classical and popular selec- tions," explains Mr. Neumiller, "I am thinking more of the songs and musical compositions that last as op- posed to those that have a temporary vogue and then disappear entirely. "Music that is to live must be judged not by the few but by the many. Musicians cannot play to aud- jences composed of other musicians just as ks cannot be written for authors. There must be a non-pro- fessional 'jury composed of people with some discrimination and good composer gets the verdict from this closs of people, the sooner will he or she know whether the composition is to take its place on the roll of hon- or of music. There is no quicker way to get the verdict than to broadcast the selection or composition. If it is against the number then the compos- er at once realizes he or she must make a different appeal in the next composition. From such silent criti. cism comes good music. Then, too, J. | broadcasting has given opportunity to hundreds of unknown musician-com- posers who would never have been heard of 25 years ago. This means more compositions and the more new numbers there are the greater the chance that some of them will be 'great'." EEE Playing Norma Talmadge In the greatest picture of her career TheWoman Disputed With GILBERT ROLAND HAA (HET SHIT GOVERNMENT RADI TOBE AVAILABLE or ge Quebec, March 25--The radio broadcasting station to be constructed and operated by the Government will be used for the diffusion of the Party gospel, . By an overwhelming vote, the Que- bec House yesterday defeated an amendment "introduced by Alderic Blain (Cons. Dorion) to the effect Yat a Slause be added to the bill, pecifying that the station shall nev- er be used for political party pur- poses, Another amendment, moved = by Maurice Duplessis (Cons., Three Riv- ers), for the purpose of declaring the act "premature and not called for," was also defeated by the majority. The bill carried a third reading on division, The Legislative Assembly convened 11.15 o'clock for a short sitting. Fol- lowing a speedy expedition of the routine questions and motions, the or- der called for further debate on the expenditure of $1,200,000 for a pro- vincial museum in Quebec City. Maurice Duplessis (Cons, Three Rivers) r d the di ion where it had left off. He said that the min- ister, Hon. Mr. Galipeault, was too learned and clever a lawyer to try to "put one over" the House. Vote of Principle "The Minister," he said, "knows very well that the primary expendi- ture of $150,000 cannot be sensibly called a vote on principle. The sanc- tioning of a principle does not entail any expenditure." Mr, Duplessis recalled the fact that the first appropriation of $150,000 had been raised last year to $600,000 and said it was unreasonable to ask this year for another $600,000. The member. for Three Rivers blamed again the shortsightedness, "to say the least" of the executive and -its disrespect of Parliamentary customs. He moved that the resolu- tion be amended and that the House blame the Government for its "im- providence and extravagance." Mr. Duplessis said the House ought not to sanction such a huge sum of $1, 200,000 for the building of a museum in Quebec, especially when education and agriculture are not getting their fair share of grants, Hon. Mr, Galipeault pleaded the case of the Government and the up- lifting and educational value of mus- eums. A vote was taken. op both amendment and resolution. The amendment was defeated and 44 to 8, Joseph Samson (Lib, Que- bec-Centre) casting his vote with the Opposition. The radio broadcasting bill came the | resolution carried, vote reversed by | next on the order paper. The House moved into col and a new debate followed the calling of the item, Maurice Duplessis rose and paid his compliments to Hon. Mr. Mescier, Minister of Lands and For- ests, whose 54th birthday it was Wed- nesday. He wished his "good health 'and energy" to carry fruitfully the heavy tasks assigned to his ability, The member for Three Rivers ex- | pressed fears that the construction of a broadcasting station under Govern- ment auspices would be something very expensive and lengthy of realiz- ation, "judging from what happened at the Montreal Court House, the Quebec Court House, the 'provincial museum and the rest." Detestable Feelings Hon. Mr. Mercier, who is of a quiet and smiling disposition, appear- ed to feel sore at Mr. Duplessis' in- terruptions. He spoke about Mr. Du- plessis' "detestable feelings" towards the Minister of Public Works, Mr. Galipeault. "I say the hon. member for Three Rivers never loses the op- portunity of attacking and knocking the Minister of Pubilc Works. Mr. Duplessis said he was deeply moved by the spontaneous demon- stration of friendship staged by Mr. Mercier and regretted that Mr. Gal- ipeault had not shown the same zeal when the Minister of Lands was be- ing grilled over his estimates. : Hon. Mr. Galipeault sprang to his feet and said that innuendos were out of place. He alluded to the "riv- alries" in the Opposition group and drew a comparison between the "mu- tual loyalty" of ministers and the "strifes" said to exist "elsewhere. Mr. Sauve expressed some fear at the possibilities of Government Party propaganda through the medium of its broadcasting station, "We have many good reasons to fear it." Mr. Sauve added. PIANOS NOT LOSING IN POPULARITY London, Mar. 25.--Despite the popularity of the gramaphoue and the radio the number of pianos manufactured in Great Britain last year was the largest recorded since 1913. The Federation of British Music Industries in its annual sur- vey says this revival would seem to . prove that gramaphone ana wireless music has stimulated pub- lic interest in music generally, with the result that.there is an in- creased interest in the piano.
