lished by England in the Far East Hong
Kong, on an island off the Chinese coast. is a
focus for junk lines out of the Chinese
rivers. 1t is supposed to be a collection
point for Chinese and other Far East prod
ucts and distribution point for British and
other exports. BY Great Brtain's liberality
in commerce, being "free port" also, tariff
wise, it is "branch store" for the sale of
all nations goods in the Orient. Steamer
lines to all the coasts Of Asia, Oceania and
the Pacific islands carry goods to and from
hong Kong. But the statistics show that
Hong Kong distributes more British goods
than it collects Of Oriental products for
Great Britain. Singapore, however, balances
the collection and distribution better, and is
coming rival for Hong Kong.
ITO Singapore's harbor where the ships
OF all nations gather, have come the spices,
the cocoa and copra, the rich vegetable oils,
typical products of the ancient Ind, for many
years. And, in decade, there has grown
up an enormous export to the West Of the
rubber coming from the new plantations
that are now supplying the world. This,
added to the tin, which for several decades
mas come out of the Straits mines in grow
ing quantities, till it fills more than
half the worlds necessities, gives an indus
trial background to the trade of Singapore
and other Straits ports which are CONNER
cially tributary to Singapore. In the reverse
direction Singapore increasingly is becom-
ing the distributing centre of growing
trade IN the manufactures of Europe and
America. 1t is q cosmopolitan market, q
free port and the commercial facilities arc
at the disposal of the whole world.
Our own trade with, or through, Singapore
has been rather one-sided. Beginning with
1913, sold (roughly calculated). S., 900, 900
$1400,000, S1900,000 and $4,000, 900 worth of
goods; and we received according to Singa-
pore export igures) s11,30oOoo, $4,000, Oo0
$25,500000 and $36,2O0,O00 worth of products
This growth of our purchases may be re-
garded as superficial increase, largely.
Since the war, Straits tin, which formerly
went from Singapore and Perak to London
and thence came to us as q reaxport, has
been transported direct in growing proper
tons. So that we are simply buying more
directly, rather than indirectly, from Singa-
pore The same thing is true in the case of
rubber.

Minimizing Some Movie
Dangers
THERE has been considerable agit

THERE has been considerable agita-
ton over the matter of danger to
health resulting from attendance
at movie theatres; the danger of infec-
ton and the danger of injuring the eye
sight, in particular. But writer in "The
Buffalo Medical Journal" is inclined to
take an optimistic view Of the situation.
He says:
$50 far as We have been able to observe.
the sanitary dangers are, on the whole, less
than for theatres, schools and churches.
Any place where large numbers of human
beings are brought together inevitably mag
nifes the danger of contact infection Of all
kinds, but the better class of cinematograph
theatres are cleaner, better equipped to mini
mize the accumulation Of infectious matter
and attended by a cleaner and more healthy
audience than most other places Of meeting
for any purpose.
Eye strain, factor of Importance for
ragged pictures, and those shown from I'M
steady instruments, does not seem to be ex-
cessive under proper conditions, unless, per-
haps, for those whose attendance is excessive
and, even then, it is questionable whether it
is greater than for any comparable form Of
amusement. The glazing lights at some Of
our highest grade musical entertainments
and the subdued lights in many churches in
volve more eye strain than most of the bet
ter grade picture shows"

~ To a Hazy Tradition

Singapore has romantic history. The
history begins with hazy tradition. 1t is
probably the site of prehistoric metropolis
where centred the trade in gold and spices
out of the East mentioned in many ancient
scriptures. The Dutch and English possess
sions thereabouts contain we'll preserved
relics of great ancient civilization, in the
form Of magnificent temple structures and
ruins, and in literature. The Straits was
the seat Of the empire, It's wars were like
the wars Of ancient Europe. Cities throve
and were destroyed. Singapore is built on
the site of a comparatively modern town,
known to have existed in the early middle
ages. which gave way to Malacca, which has
itself, in turn, suffered decay from it's i'm
portance of several centuries ago, since Sim
gapore has reassumed influence.
"Withn two centuries Holland, Portugal
and England have fought over the control of
the Malay Peninsula, the nearby islands and
the Straits. That part of Singapore's story
is easily accessible history. England OBJ
tanned control of her part, established the
Settlements, and recently assumed, through
treaty, the protection of the federated and
the non-federated Malay states. The COM
merce Of the world has obtained the benefits
of liberal political arrangement by which
England no doubt intended to establish her
strategic power in this important region, but
the visible effects Of which are simply the
surety of public order and safety, stimula-
tion of industry, and free and equal oppor-
tunty for anybody of any nationality or race
to live and thrive. The Dutch, in their ter
rtories in this ncighborhood, which resem-
Bile the British territories closely, are exer-
cisng identical liberal policy of open
door, and SO we see, in war time, very i'm
portant and significant growth in the direct
trade of the Malay Peninsula, the Settle
ments, Java, sumatra and surrounding East
Indies islands with the world, the growth of
local markets in tin, rubber, tobacco, sugar
and other products that were formerly
shipped to London, Amsterdam or other Euro
pean markets for distribution. It is gener-
ally believed in Holland. England and the

nations Of this war, people are put
ting with new sharpness the old
question of whether the universe is gov
erned by an all-powerful God of justice
and mercy. Men have raised this question
before to-day, and the churches have al
ways answered it by repeating the familiar
appeals to faith and authority But the
case is different to-day. Authority has
been undermined in a thousand quarters.
Comparatively few now think of turning
to the Church for guidance. .
When Mr.. Wells turns from such a deity
he speaks for multitudes.
But mark how the longing which is I'M
satisfied by the thought Of perfect God
Of nature turns toward a deity who is
moral purpose and moral struggle. The
new God Of Mr.. Wells is no perfect being,
but limited as man himself is limited. In
contrast with the old symbol Of God as the
venerable father, he is pictured as youth
already brave and wise, but far from the
strength he deserves. He has nothing to
do with creating and governing the uni
verse of sun and star. He is simply that
best life over and beyond our own to which
we call out when we need strength of
spirit.
Emerson once declared that the progress
of religion is steadily in its Identification
with morals. This idea of the finite God
is a striking confirmation of that view.
What Mr.. Wells-like John Stuart Mill
and William James-has done has been to
cast out from the God idea the non-ethical
element, the sheer magical power pos
sessed by perfect nature-G God. He has
seized upon the only thing that is worth
his reverence, the struggling soul Of man
heating its way upward to perfect living.
His God is nothing other than man at his
best, turning his face toward the light and
struggling for good that will never come
hut as men themselves toll and sweat for
it, He has simply taken the struggle of
mans moral being and cast it into the i'm
age of struggling God The cry of to-day
for a religion Mr.. Wells has answered in
terms eminently ethical.
Not that his response is completely salts.

A RE you using the correct kind OF
~ chair at your work? For, accord
ing to "The Scientific American"
a correctly designed seat requires that the
ieet, thighs and seat be comfortably sup
ported, and that the back be in a proper
position for the particular work on hand.
Judged by this standard, the article con-
tnues, most of the types of chairs used in
factories are entirely unsuited for the
work done.
A recent survey on chairs brings out the
following requirements for hygienic
chair and foot rest for industrial workers.
First of all it will be adjustable in height.
Other necessary considerations Of the ideal
chair follows:
The back consists Of one slightly curved
and rounded bar set between the posts at a

height of this bar is adjustable. The space
below this bar is left open in order that

Matters Touching Religion

God who sends them, we ought just as 1ogi-
cally refer our bad impulses back to a
devil. If our better selves can be ex-
planned only by delivering them from a
God, why not believe in two Gods, a good
one and bad, to explain both sides of our
nature?
Or even if we derive the spiritual power
in us from the collective soul of mankind
at its best, as Wells in reality does, why
keep the name God for it? That name has
been preempted by the absolute Creator
God of the Bible and the churches. 1t GER
tainly does not fit the denatured God of our
novelist.
Or why call him king, when it would be
SO much more modern to call him presi-
dent? Or in view of our new respect for
womanhood, why not call him kng-and-
queen? The point is, Of course, that any
symbol for our highest ideal is bound to
be unsatisfying. No image, whether of
king or queen, father or mother, or god
or youth, can fit the ethical ideal in all its
magnificent boundlessness. The infinite
goodness-the goodness, that is, of diverse
lildll ana woman, sage ana youth, IN all the
endless variety of types-forever mocks
our feeble attempts to embody it in any
particular image
What need is there of even Mr.. Weiss
attenuated theology? Mems ideas of God
are always shaped by their own moral ex-
periences. When men idolize sheer brute
power it is no wonder that they make their
deities all-powerful. When they know moth
ing better than autocracy for earthly gov
eminent they worship an autocrat on high.
When they themselves prize justice and
mercy they make their deity a god of JUS
tice and mercy. What need our age fear,
then, if it cannot believe in the Heavenly
Father? Our own moral yearnings give
US our deities. Surely, then, we can dis
pense with any God-image as long as the
aspirations out Of which such an image is
born are kept alive. With to-day's vision
Of a new worldwide democracy must go
new vision Of man as his own Providence
and Savior.
