one famous night centuries ago? Out
of the East wisdom is supposed always
to have come. For in the East until
within our time was leisure for thought
and reflection. Horace Greeley, advising
the young American to seek his fortune
gave voice to the well-knoWn words, GO
West, young men," So the spirit OF
progress and adventure has always turn
ed it's face away from the rising sun;
and the spirit of reflection, of thought,
has found it's haunts in story at least,
in land where the lotus blooms and
the hour glass moves slowly.
In the midst of a conflict which in
wolves every corner of the Western
world a conflict which was born out of
the genius of strife and progress with
which the Western world is obsessed, let
us turn for a brief space to book pen
ned ostensibly by a citizen of far-off
China therein to read contrast between
the much Wanted "civilized' state OF
the Western world with that of the sup
posedly barbarous country lying near the
eastern horizon. Truly no more oppor-
tune time for such contrast could be
chosen than now when, satiated with
ideas of our own greatness, we are car
ried away by the thought that truly we
are the great people of the earth and
that beyond the confines of our own
border naught of value or endurance is
to be found. Never was there better
time than this in which to apply the
words of the Scotch bard,
ooh, wad some power the giftie gle us
To see ourselves as others see us!"
Patient introspection at this hour may
save us impatient retrospection at a later
period. Now, while we are endeavoring
to uphold the torch of civilization and
democracy for the whole world, let us
examine the estimate which others far
removed have put upon our laws and
customs, our standard of values. Let us
gage our institutions by those of coun-
try where ignorance-or innocence
our ideas has preserved institutions at
which we scott. A splendid test of this
situation is the relative ideas concerning
the value of the family. Only too we'll
do we know that the family as recog-
nized social unit is fast disappearing in
this country. Its various members seek
diverse paths in recreation, in mental
pursuits, in religious, in social status, yea
even in personal relations. $50 far as
a foreigner can perceive, our family is
merely a means for nourishing and pro-
tecting the child until he is of age to
look after himself. AS early as may be
he is sent away to a public school where
he quickly emancipates himself from the
influences of his home. AS soon as boys
are of age they are sent out to make
their fortune. They may go where they
WILL do what they will, earn and spend
as they choose The individual is the
unit, and all the units are free. Society
is 'progressive;' we are always moving
on. To remain in a position in which
we were born is considered a disgrace.

praisal of all that has happened. But
they came from. the authors pen twelve
years ago-nine years before the out
break of the holocaust! How did it
happen that he could SO accurately fore
tell the future?' Because he saw the
fundamental weaknesses of our civiliza-
ton, nations endeavoring to proselytize
the foreigner in order to win his trade,
nations calling themselves Christian who
conceived it to be their mission to re-
deem the world by methods of fire and
sword if need be, nations sending their
missionaries abroad in the name of re-
ligion and then asking for territory as
compensation when these missionaries
were killed; as if common earth were
any compensation for the life OF man
who goes into unknown realms with the
word of religion upon his lips! Merely
because so-called civilized nations must
have markets for their surplus goods and
sources whence to obtain their raw ma
terials they make war on strangers and
on kinsmen alike If we could learn to
be self-dependent to make what we need
and need what we make there would be
no necessity for forcing our religion or
our trade upon an unwilling nation, at
the point of the sword
What else has this present conflict
demonstrated? Our enemy country, we'll
versed in the geography of the world,
has made it's conquering way into the
coal fields of one nation, the wheat
fields of another, the oil fields of yet
iyd in thpir 1cn1afinn
what the inhabitants of these regions
suffered by this change of proprietorship?
Why should it? So long as there must
be kings and overlords, what rights will
peoples themselves have to determine to
whom shall belong the valuable products
of their soil? From the beginning of
things civilized, the territories rich in
natural resources have thus far been
fought over. No less this time than ever
before is the question of iron and coal,
wheat and OIL paramount to all other
issues. A civilization as commercial as
is that of the twentieth century knows
no more dominant word than trade"
If evidence is needed for this asser-
ton witness the conduct of the American
farmer in the present crisis. So busy is
he reaping the harvest of dollars which
war prices are bringing him that he has
not even time to rouse his sense of patri-
otism to the point of even that of the
city man. Hardened by the ever-present
desire for gain he has lost sight of all
the finer instincts of life. In strange
contrast to the Eastern world where
every farm is a thing of beauty, where
gardens and artistic homes, where wav-
ing fields of cotton and sugar add beauty
to the landscape, our hardened American
farmer sees only the dollars growing in
his wheat field; he is oblivious to all
the refining influences which nature en-
deavors to throw about him. Small won
der that his children rush to the city
to make their own war rather than to
remain, where they belong, in the great
open of the country.

and win. To this characteristic of So
ciety is attributed it's immense activity,
and it's success in all material arts But
to this also is due it's unrest, it's confu-
sion, it's lack of morality. No one is con-
tented, no one has leisure to live, so in
tent are all on increasing the means OF
living"
We may candidly acknowledge that the
basis of family life is an economic one.
In everything American, do not economic
relations come first and do we not "en-
deavor afterwards to graft as much
morality" upon them as they will per-
NIT? Is the accusation not equally true
of our civilized confreres in Europe, and
painfully true of those whom we must
now regard as barbarian enemies? How
ever, the present situation may have TAX
en- shape during the past three years
did it not have it's origin in the cupld1n-
GUS desire of one monarch or another to
control the markets, the territories OF
competitive nations and peoples? Is it
not the ghost of this thought which is
prolonging the struggle almost past the
point of human endurance? Are we our
selves
cause the certainty must be established
that an enemy which presumably desired
to conquer the markets of the world must
be so disarmed and crushed as to make
this thought forever impossible of resur-
rection? What else can democracy"
mean than less thought for the means
of living and more thought for the life
lived? The making of dividends, be
they for the use of kings or individuals,
must cease to be the preoccupation of
civilized man.
Time was when we thought that the
meeting of nations of the globe in COM
mercial intercourse would establish
mutual understandings and friendly re-
lationships. We even dreamed that the
various countries, needing the surplus
products of the other countries, wishing
to dispose of their own surplus products
to the other countries, would be bound
by mutual understandings in dissoluble
bon is of peace ,"But never was belief
more plainly cont1 addicted by fact" says

rope fling themselves, like hungry beasts

whom they regard as outside their own

they divide the spoil, they watch one an
other with a jealous eye; and sooner or
later, when there is nothing left to divide
they will fall upon one another. That is
the real meaning of your ornaments;
you must devour or be devoured. And it
is precisely those trade relations, which
it was thought would knit you in the
bonds of peace, which, by making every
one of you cut-throat rivals of the 9th

New York.-The substitution Of one
Idea for another as form of regener-
ating, rejuvenating and re-arranging
the human brain, is rs old as psychol-
ogy. 1t was practiced, AYERS leading
fashion critic, probably, long before the
word was invented. 1t Is one OF the
worlds fundamental creeds, moral,
physical and mental; and when some
OF the rellgionists got hold of 1t as
new doctrine, they were only exploit
ing what began before the Pyramids.
In the early part Of the war. those
who were not clever In the art, de-
piored the extraordinary skill of the
Germans In being able to control the
masses by deliberately substituting q
new idea, covered up by u phrase and
hammered In by reiteration. They are
doing 1t today, and so far it has never
failed them with their own people.
They use the word defensive" Instead
OF ito conquer"
| America Is going through many
phases today, probably the most pow
erful In her career. which have come
about through the substitution in her
composite brain of one national idea
for another. And the work filters down
through crevices until it seeps through
the strata of underlying. and seeming
ly insignificant, by-prOducts of our ma
ti0nal life.
1t Is this seepage down to dress
which is the point of this preface. One
idea has been substituted for another.
With all the critics against its success,
the psychologists watch with interest
the public playing into the hands Of
those who started the idea.
Today American labels are lhlt into
french gowns. This is not a wild
statement. 1t Is done at some of the
best houses. Mannequins will come in
wearing frOcks which the public is told
are the designs of the house itself, and
these models nre sold to shops and
lesser dressmakers and pass through

American designer. They were really
made In France. brought to this coun-
try by importers, copied verbatim. and
turned out MS American creations.
That Is not honest; but that is not
exactly the point Of this particular
story. The extreme interest centers in
the fact that the substitution of one
idea for another In the national brain
has compelled or persuaded the trade
to offer to the public whatever 1t can
