THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1937 PACE SEVEN MARRIED RUSSIAN WIFE, BRITISHER IS IN DIFFICULTY Appeals to Foreign Office For Aid in Bringing Wife to England (By The Canadian Press) London. -- In the House of Commons Captain Bowyer, mem- ber for Buckingham, drew atten- tion to an appeal by an English man whose wife 18 detained in Russia. The Englishman, Mr. Walford, married the lady on February 8, in Odessa, and he at once applied to the Soviet Gov- ernment for permission for her to. leave Russia which was re- fused three weeks later. On May 22 he decided to leave Moscow, @nd on his arrival in London went to the Foreign Office and explained the whole position to ofie of the officials. He also com- municated with him (Sir G. Bow- yer) and afterwards went to the Foreign Office at intervals of about a week, and .was assured that the matter would be taken up with the Russian Ambassador, but with no result. The speaker then took up the matter, but got a very whsympathetic. reply from the Foreign Office, and there was considerable delay, and this lady was still in Russia. He argued that energetic steps should have been taken to obtain her release. Mr. Dalton (Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs), replying, sald Mr. Walford, who was in the employ at one time of the Indo- European. Telegraph Company in tho Soviet Union, like a number of other Englishmen who had re- sided in Russia, elected to marry a Russian lady. This lady was a Kussian citizen, and although she had married an Englishman she was still a Soviet citizen, She was fat lawyers called a "dual" --that was to say, she had a dual nationality. She was a Soviet citizen by reason of having been korn in the Soviet Union, a Brit- ish citizen by reason of having married an Englishman, Her case was not an isolated one. It had become almost an epidemic with Englishmen stay- ing a long time in Russia to mar- xy Russian wives. There had been five or six other cases in which Englishmen domiciled --in Russia had married Russian wives and precisely similar difficulties had arisen. The Soviet Govern- ment had laid down certain regu- lations whereby no person was al- lowed to leave the Soviet Union if he or she was a Soviet éitizen who had gone through the form of marriage with a non-Soviet person unless he or she secured a release from his or her Soviet citizenship. He had particulars of five or six cases in which as the result of representations they had been able to secure the release of the ladies concerned. Mrs. Walford's was the only case at present in which ty had not been success- ful, They were not at all satis- fied with the ition so far as Mrs. Walford was concerned. It was suggested that the Foreign Office had been unsympathetic. They would endeavour to secure permission for Mrs. Walford to leave the Soviet Union and come to this country. In return, he hoped Sir George Bowyer would give an undertaking that none of his friends would try to move the Home Office to keep her out, tak- ing. fright merely. hecausp she was born a Russian citizen wit a Russian name, DISCUSS EXAMINATIONS (By The Canadian Press) London. -- Mrs. Beatrice En- sor, chairman of the New Educa- tion Fellowship, presided at the British Commonwealth Education Couference at Bedford College for Women, Regent's Park, Lon- don. Opening a discussion on ex- aminations and tests, Mrs. Ensor gaid that - during the last few years quite a lot had been done in trying to discover .how to alter examinations and tests in order Lo make them more workable and practicable. Professor Burt, Professor of Education, University of London, said that, generally speaking, ex-' aminers were extremely vague ahout the aims which they had in view. No two examiners ever worked a candidate in the same way. "For example, collect thir. ty essays from your class," said Professor Burt, "and hand them round your teaching colleagues to be marked. You will' be aston- ished at the discrepancies in the marking. I did this once, and the essay which was marked as the best by one teachqr was mar- ked down as the worst by ano- thier." Over 750,000 school children of Ontario have received invitations to attend the Canadian National Ex- hibition as guests of the manage: ment on Young Canada's Day, Mon- day, August 3lst. English Music is Enshrined In ok By Henry Hadow 3 cock) (C Press D London--"English musicians must be glad to see their art enshrined in company with 'Shakespeare,' 'The English Public. School, 'Cricket,' and other matters which are part and parcel of our national inherit- ance," says The Times in connec- jon with Sir Henry Hadow's recent addition of "English Music" to the series of little books with the col- lective 'title of "The English Herit- age Series," including the books mentioned. "There is an additional cause for satisfaction, because the qualifications of the writer for his task are manifest to all. "But the first cause is the fact fat music is included at all, be- ause that in itself is acknowledg- ment that music holds, and has al- ways held, a place among the lively interests of the people, and that their interests in and practice of music has produced types different from the music of other nations. It means that in music we have some- thing that we take for granted as our own, that just as our speech is colored by familiar quotations from Shakespeare, our manners, even to the trivialities of dress, by those of the Public school, and our views on sportsmanship by the very word 'cricket' so there is something in English music which informs and limits our outlook on the art as a whole. "In so far as a national tradition is a limiting factor in popular taste it is not always welcome to the eager musician. How often do our musical. leaders rebuke us sternly for not having adopted admirable in stitutions of Continent for the dif fusion of artistic cultivation, such things, for example, as municipal opera houses in every one of the great citics? On the other hand, when the sensibilities of the com- munity are suddenly touched to sympathy with an artist of foreign origin, when English people hail a Handel of a Mendelssohn, finding some quality in his work which seems peculiarly congenial to their traditions and aspirations, they are liable to be whipped off and told, in the words of Professer Trevelyan, that 'Nothing. is more striking than the inability of the English to stand by their native traditions in art.' The question is raised as to what constitutes the English heritage in music. Sir Henry Hadow's answer is clear. For him the English heritage is the good music made by English- men, and by 'Englishmen' he means strictly the holders of British birth certificates. By this definition Han- del is ruled out and Frederic Delits is ruled in, though only just in. The ruling shows 2 this definition fails. Normally it meets the case well enough, and the most exhilar- ating thing in Sir Henry Hadow's well-told tale is that not only does he glory in the achievements of the masters past and present, but he is well assured that in doing so he is speaking for us all, learned and un- learned alike." Sir William Henry Hadow is one of Great Britain's noted education- ists and authors, and holds honor- ary degrees of several universities, including honorary doctor of music, Oxford, Durham Durham and Wales.

EARL OF ATHLONE 10 BE GOVERNOR WINDSOR CASTLE King Honors Queen's Bro- ther For His Services London.--The King has ap- pointed the Earl of Athlone as Governor and Constable of Wind- sor Castle in succession to Vis- count Esher, who died recently. The Earl's appointment is re- garded as an additional recogni- tion of his services as Governor- General of South Africa, Although the duties of the historic post are not arduous, they demand a considerable dis- play of tact. The castle and its envirens cover an enormous area. Many people of high 'rank and long years of service to the Crown live within the shadow of its famous round tower and acknowledge something more than a nominal rule on the part of the Governor and Constable, The Earl of Athlone is the only surviving brother of Queen Mary. He was Governor-General of South Africa from 1923 to 1930, the ordinary term of five years being extended by His Majesty at the request of the Government of South Africa. He also had the distinction of being Governor-General desig- nate of Canada. He was appoint- ed a few weeks before the out- VicTorR '8 h\ pi 7 50 Complete Sompiets, .. . smallest big radio ever built It's an Eight-Tube; Super-Heterodyne AKE no allowance for the size of this' small radiv--the Victor "Superette.", It's liecle, but it asks no favors from the finest big radio you've ever heard.
