SAYS LOVE is A pELusloN.
Chinese Philosopher Tells Why We
Have Divorce Courts.

San Francisco.-"The world must
look to China for remedy of the d.
vorce evil" This is the view of Ng
Poon Chew, Chinese philosopher and
socialist, who declared that only in the
Celestial kingdom are divorce courts
unnecessary.
In my country" he says, mar
riage is common job. Everyone has
to take part. voluntarily or otherwise.
We marry because we must; you mar
ry because you fancy you have found
your affinity We know of no attini-
ties
THE Chinese regard the breaking Of
the marriage bond, either by divorce
or separation not only as immoral, but
as fearful crime against society.
Here you are bound to follow the
whims and fancy of every changing
emotion in the selection of life part
ners, but we regard marriage as a
matter of the head. Our young people
have absolutely nothing to do with
marriage. We do not recognize love
and we have never been buncoed by
Cupid. To the Chinese mind love is a
delusion. hallucination, intoxication
and mirage In the desert of passion.
I'VE have solved the problems of
marriage, you have not We have no
need Of divorce courts, you cannot do
away with them"
Ng Poon Chew has attracted wide
attention on the Pacific coast by a
number of essays on various socio-
logical subjects.
