Nevertheless, since the overthrow of the pre-war balance of power policy, these nations of the Occident begin to show strong signs of desiring to handle lesser powers in a very arbitrary fashion. The smaller nations which have overthrown monarchical rule and followed the example of Western civilization in adopting more or less democratic forms of government begin to be considered thorns in the sides of their greater sister nations. Now the big powers of Europe seem desirous of creating federations of small...

All three composers attain moments of depth. Nevertheless when I want music which I know will have the effect of satisfying me completely I turn to Wagner. I love the Ring of the Nigbelingen and am never quite certain which individual opera stands foremost in my affections. 'Die Walkure', judging from the number of times it has been produced, is probably the popular favorite. The role...
