...Germany's last word has by no means yet been spoken. What Chancellor Stresemann says in effective only as long as his government remains in office and at present it hold on the office appears, to say the least, some-what tenuous. The two powerful actions, the Nationalists and the Communists, are agreed on one point--that the present government is not to their taste.

...prizes are not yet ready for distribution, but will be awarded in April. This year a precedent has been broken in that the books will not have their usual uniform binding. Since the war the conventional morocco binding has been extremely hard to obtain, end, as a result, a some-what less expensive binding has been chosen.

...Indy's symphony rose only a little above expectations, which were not too high; a second hearing might perhaps help to straighten out the some-what intricate thematic tangle. One wonders whether such involved symphonic form can remain as a living thing for long...
