...warfare of classes whose division was on economic bases, but his judgment is obviously capable of racial interpretation also, and his definition clearly implies that the existence of the state is incompatible with the conciliation of that class warfare; an inference which he did not neglect to elaborate. Mr. Hitler's state is simply the instrument of suppression serving the ends of a reactionary and racially religious class. The Turkish government, which has summarily placed a hundred communists in jail, and the estimable chauvinists of Georgia, who have imprisoned an ardent youth for his possession of communist literature, serve with...

...whether or not Arturo Toscanini will fulfill his plan to conduct at Bayreuth this summer. Last week Toscanini vehemently expressed his resentment of the way his colleagues have been treated by requesting that his name be the first one signed to a musicians' protest cabled to Chancellor Hitler. In an open letter Pianist-Conductor Ossip Gabrilowitsch recalled the attack made on Toscanini two years ago in Italy when he refused to conduct the Fascist anthem, how other musicians stood by him then. Sergei Koussevitzky going so far as to cancel concerts he had intended to give at the Scala...
