The article presents discussions on various topics. The U.S. musicians are facing destitution in the city of New York, less than two and one-half years after the great stock-market crash, and a trifle less than two years after the U.S. President Herbert Hoover so confidently informed the American people, that the unemployment was only a little more than seasonal. A fund of U.S. $300,000 is being raised to tide over these musicians--a pitifully small sum, particularly when one remembers the fact that many of them are musicians of the first rank, with corresponding responsibilities. Yet this is only one aspect of the injury that the depression has done on the cultural side.
