...summary action taken by President Roosevelt in abandoning the Passamaquoddy tide-harnessing project and the Florida ship canal would seem to smack more strongly of political expediency than of any impelling reason for their desertion. Even though it be acknowledged that the Florida project was a flagrant instance of boon-doggling, necessitated by the need of spending so much money within a given time and within such and such a place, the "Quoddy" project has been praised by engineers and might possibly have been developed on a scale with the Boulder Dam, Grande Coulce and other highly successful New Deal...

Whatever the result may be, the unloading of such unfinished and dead cargo as the Florida ship-canal and the Passamaquoddy project signalizes the beginning of a stringent economy on the part of the Administration.

Last week Works Progress Administration's Music Director Nikolai Sokoloff, onetime conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra, reported on what he had done so far with $7,641,814 of Federal funds allocated to his project. To WPA's payroll were transferred 15,639 players, singers, composers, teachers, librarians, copyists, arrangers, tuners, music-binders from non-musical relief jobs. "Hundreds of musicians," reported Director Sokoloff, "came with swollen, calloused fingers, with their lips stiff and chapped from unaccustomed toil in inclement weather." Since December WPA had formed 163 concert orchestras, 51 bands, 15 chamber-music ensembles, 22 choruses...
