The work Of reorganizing the Amer
lean Red Cross along the lines laid
down by the Geneva conference is now
well under way. II Is the hope and ex-
pectation Of the promoters Of the
movement to extend the new organiza-
tion into practically every local com
munity. An effort is being made to
find local workers who will understand
the Importance of not assuming to
boss people around" Emphasis Is
laid on the fact that It is not to be
the business of the organization to Is
sue commands, but to be of genuine
service wherever possible. The foreign
affairs of the American Red Cross are
rapidly being closed out. The interna-
tional organization will take over the
relief work in Europe.

at is time for the American
people to realize that their fu-
ture lies In great measure on the
Pacific" said Julean Arnold, CONNER
cial attache at Picking who Is here on
leave of absence. THE opportunities
of the United States on the Pacific are
without limit, but its responsibilities
will prove equally great. The only
way II can meet these opportunities
and responsibilities creditably to its
own civilization and Its own position
is by an intelligent and sympathetic
understanding of the peoples of Asia
and the present problems confronting
them. Without this understanding we
may unwittingly make some very dis
astrous mistakes"
China, Mr.. Arnold asserts is now at
the dawn of what may prove to be
the greatest Industrial and commercial
development that the world has yet
witnessed. The Chinese he says are
receptive to Western ideas and mod
ern industrialism. The demands for
machinery of all kinds during the next
few decades will be enormous; in fact,
the new China will be in the market
for practically everything the West
has TO offer, especially metal goods,
building Materials railway, mining.
and shipbuilding equipment, heating
and sanitary appliances, motors and
motorcars. knitting machines and tex
tile plants, needles, nails, hardware.
electrical machinery and equipment,
Industrial plants Of nearly every de-
scription. and indeed everything need
ed TO transform the country into
modern industrial and commercial so
ciety. Mr. Arnold predicts that In
stead of 100000 persons in factories
and 100000 children in schools, the
China of a few decades hence will
have 100000 factory hands and
S0.OOO0OO school children, figures pro-
portionate to the present statistics Of
the United States.
No Need for Jealousy.
"There need be no international
jealousies," Mr.. Arnold says, ''in the
competition for the wonderful trade
that China will have 10 Offer as there
will be room for ALL" And he adds:
"A strong. independent. self-reliant
China possessed of progressive ideals
will prove a blessing to humanity. II
behooves the West In its relations
with China to work on broad lines I'm
spirit OF cooperation rather than
competition. with a vision for the
future, as the day will come when the
Pacific will be the worlds great arena
of trade and commerce. and that trade
will be worth while only II Il Is built
upon foundation of friendship and
good will"
