East meets West to the mutual adj
vantage Of BOTH This question is of
vital Importance and should be fear
lessly threshed cut in the Jewish pull
pit. For if it is really true that never
can the Eastern and Western views
of life be made to commingle, then
there is no place for the Jew in West
ern lands and the only solution for
the Jewish problem is Our rehabilita
ticn in the land Of our fathers, where
we can work out our Oriental
views in an Oriental manner.
But little reflection will
show us that a little more Of the ORR
entail view of life might possibly prove
the salvation Of modern society and
that, further, the Jewish view of it is
that which provides the leaven be-
tween extreme Orientalism and ex-
IRENE Occidentalism. If the Jew
were only true to his traditions he
could, by his manner of living, be
the living exemplifcation of a true
philosophy of life. Take for prac
teal illustration the fear of poverty,
which was ably discussed in the
Houston "Post" some time ago.
A millionaire is soliloquizing. He
is we'll pleased at his success in life,
at his magnificent estate, his prosper

But there is fly in the ointment. He
is not frst-class man. No million

BY giving away his wealth and be-
coming poor again He is not big
enough to do that. He is big enough
to be rich, but he is not big enough
to be poor. And then he quotes Will

East is East and West is West and
never the twain shall meet
Till earth and sky stand presently at
Gods great judgment seat.
-Kipling 1.-The Ballad Of East and
West"
Repeatedly has this little verse from
the "Barrack-room Ballads" by Rud-
yard Kipling, been quoted to prove
that an unbridgable chasm yawns be-
tween the Orient and the Occident
and it is hopeless task to attempt to
fit them into each other. But those
who glibly quote this couplet have
omitted to add its sister couplet, "But
there is neither East nor West,
Border nor Breed nor Birth, when
two strong men stand face to face,
tho they come from the ends of the
earth!' So that, even in this stirring
ballad, Kipling himself confesses that
there are exceptions; that East and
West can and do meet, for the same
warm blood courses through the veins
of both Oriental and Occidental.
Kipling is always held up as the very
incarnation of the West, the typical
Occidental, whose slogan is strenu-
osity, virility and activity as opposed
to the Oriental habits of leisureliness,
dreaminess and mysticism, and many
still believe that he is the great inter-
prefer of the Oriental as found in In
dia to the Occidental mind | have
even heard it said that if you wish
to reach the soul of India, read Kip
ling Recently the noted Indian poet
and prophet, Sir Rabindranath Ia
gore, has emphatically denied this
claim of the Kiplingolators, maintain
ing that he has been able to get only
a superficial view of the country. He
is man of great imagination and he
knows that the readers of today like
to be deluded, and his imaginative
poetry satisfies the people, though it
teaches them nothing of India" In
all such discussions we shall usually
find that we shall be on safe ground if
we take the mean between two ex-
tremes. It is unfair to maintain that
Kip1ing teaches us nothing about India
and it is an exaggeration to state that
he reveals the soul of India. Kipling
is onr great authority upon Anglo
India and in his works he shows how

One very embarrassing obstacle that
stands in our way is that we are at
war with Germany but not with her
allies. l therefore very earnestly rec
ommend that the congress immediate
ly declare the United States in state
OF war with Austria-Hungary. Does
it seem strange to you that this should
be the conclusion OF the argument l
have Just addressed to you? 1t is
not. It is in fact the inevitable logic
OF what have said. Austria Hungary
is for the time being not her own
mistress, but Simply the vassal OF the
German government.
We must face the facts as they are
and act upon them without sentiment
in this stern business. The govern
ment of Austria Hungary is not acting
upon it's own initiative OF in response
10 the wishes and feelings of its own
peoples, but as the instrument OF an
