SAME VIEWS ON DEMOCRACY
Lincoln and Wilson Attitudes Identical, Say
Cirard College Head

Lincoln and Wilson as eXponer1s of
identical views on democracy were compared
in a lecture last night by DR.. Cheesman A.
Herrick president of Girard College. Doc
tor Herrick spoke in the Rodef Shalom
Synagogue. Broad and Mount Vernon streets.
Lincoln in his time. the trying days of
the Civil War, exercised keen foresight"
said Doctor Herrick. Sin that he had but
one ideal and that was to preserve the Union
of the States He embodied the highest
ideals of American democracy in his acts,
and should be credited with the splendid con-
tribution America has made in the success
full prosecution of the great world conflict
'Thus we can liken our present President
TO Lincoln in that the two men have showed
that the same ideals and antecedents guided
them,
"Wilson's efforts to have matters amicably
adjusted between nations today are identical
with Lincoln's efforts to have matters ad-
justed between the several states of this
country during the Civil War"

JASTROW SHOWS HOW
EAST AND WEST DIFFER
Kiplings Couplet Chosen as
Theme for Houston Hall Lee
ture This Afternoon

Professor Morris Jastrow. Jr., in a talk
at Houston Hall, University of Pennsylvania,
this afternoon chose for his subject Kiplings
famous couplet:
East is east and west is west,
And never the twain shall meet
Professor Jastrow showed that this state
ment was only half true and gave illustra-
tiors of the way in which the East and West
are continually meeting and have mutually
Influenced eacA other.
The East" said Doctor Jastrow, gives
us religion and the West, science
The speculative element in religion is larg-
ely the contribution of the western spirit
which finds its most notable expression III
the philosophical systems of the Greeks
The contrast between East and West may
be seen likewise in literature. The East
does not aim in the literary expression 10 re-
produce life in its reality, but to coior H.
TO give it romantic aspect. Romano IS
not Indigenous in western literature IN
place Of it we have the drama, which IS
the endeavor to interpret life in its reality
it's lights and shadows tThere is no drama
in ancient eastern literature, except as
reflection of western influence.
I'm art. the East gives rs elaborate decor
alton, the West gives us beauty through
proper proportioning.
"DosDitc these contrasts the East has al
ways Decn "A magnet to which the west has
been attracted. and the history OF civiiza-
tiOn for the past two millentumS and more
is largely the history of the meeting of East
and West Civilizations and religions arise
in the East and move as though impelled by
an irresistible force westward. The West
produces new forms of mans restless am

in science. forms of government, in indus
trial and commercial achievements, and in
stinctively the ambition of the conqueror is
stirred by the longing to embrace the East
within the zone of influence Ever since
the days of antiquity there has been alter
nately western question for the East and
an Eastern question for the West.
We must not make the East a cheap imi-
tation of the West. The East should remain
East even in the face of the western pene-
tration. The West should bring to the East
improved methods of government. of hygiene
and sanitation, we'll as western ideas of
education and all the best achievements of
western democracy, but genuine resuscita-
ton of the East only be brought about
If we also take care to preserve that peculiar
attitude toward life which has always been
characteristic of the East and which is the
source of the specific contributions that the
East has made to civilization. from days of
remote antiquity and straight down through
the Middle Ages until Turkish misgovernment
destroyed the old East without producing
