...Firebird and the riotous Petrouchka. The harsh, neolithic percussions of Stravinsky's Sacre du Printemps were less welcome, made first-nighters in Paris hiss and jeer. Stravinsky unconcernedly went his way. Suddenly he announced he was through with picture-music and would "return to Bach." His style grew clearer, if more austere, showed in every bar an uncanny knowledge of each instrument's value. Emotional people, who like music to conjure pictures for them, protested that he was incomprehensible. Stravinsky replied that he was "objective...

Thus on the legal face of things British, French, Italian and Belgian troops had every "right" to start marching on Berlin with no taint of "aggression" after the Council voted last week. Yet it was never clearer that those who talk loudest about "collective security" are the ones most unwilling to fight...
