East West Accord
Needed, Is Opinion
OF Rockefeller .Jr.
Declares ON Return From
Orient All Will BE Helped
II Japan, China and Occi-
dent Settle Issues A1nicably

John q. Rockefeller sjr. on his ar
rival in Now York yesterday from
China, whore he attended the opening
of the Peking Union Medical College,
spoke enthusiastically Of problems con-
fronting the nations Of the Orient. He
said that leaders In China and Japan
We're cogni1ant of the fact that in
friendship between their countriee and
the Western world the solution to these
questions were found.
"China has her problems," Mr.. Rock
efcller said $50 have we, and every
other nation; | believe firmly that a
people who for more than 1900 years
national life will be able to adjust
themselves, internally and externally
to the new conditions Of modern civili-
zstion and come through the re-birth
all the stronger.
"One cannot be long in japan with
out being struck with the high stand
ards of education which the nation
has established. In medical science
Japan has attained great proficiency
and has made important contributions
toward the solution Of the worlds prob
lens in the prevention and cure Of dis
ease.
Zone is impressed, furthermore, with
the efficiency of the Japanese people
and with their industry, as we'll as with
the rapidity with which they have taken
hold of the Developments of modern
science and whatever in Western civili-
zation has seemed Of value to them.
My visit to China and Japan has
made me most optimistic as to the
future Of these two great nations. whose
leaders are increasingly alive to the
fact that in friendly relations with each
other and the Western world is to be
found the greatest assurance of nation
al solidarity and commercial pros
perity.
"China, Japan and the Western world
cannot afford to be anything but the
best of friends, associated in the closest
and most reciprocal relationships Of
mutual helpfulness. Each has much
to contribute to thb common interest
of the others. According to the meas
ure in which these contributions are
made and received in sfipirit Of SYM
pathetic understanding, good will and
fairness, the outcome will be satisfnc-
tory or disappointing"

Morgan Asks Hospital Aid
Says Lack of Funds Would Kill
Public Ambulance Serxice

William Fellowes Morgan, chairman
Of the executive committee of the
United Hospital Fund, In statement
issued yesterday, told of the hard
ships that the city would suffer if the
hospitals were forced because Of lack
Of funds to abandon their public
ambulance service.
"There are 100 ambulances in the
city in the public emergency service
he said. Some of them are attached
to city hospitals, but most of them be-
long to privte hospitals. The bulk of
the ambulance service, in other words,
is carried on by private hospitals
Such service is public duty which
our great hospitals are proud to rem
der, but it takes money. The hospitals
which arc members Of the United
Hospital Fund provide 40 per cent of
the ambulance service of the city.
"Should our hospitals. through In
difference ON the part of the public
be compelled to eliminate their public
ambulance service it would result in
inconeeivable suffering for the city
and the danger is by no means re-
mote"

Boys Shout of Eight
Threatens Thcater Panic
Cry Mistaken for ssFire'' and
Women Begin Stampede, but
Policeman Gains Fears

Panic among the 600 men, women and
children who attended the showing of
q Western motion picture in the Wind
sor Theater, at 412 Grand Street, yes
terday afternoon seemed imminent
when q small boys shout, "It's a ight!"
referring to a scene In the picture, was
interpreted by woman in the audi
ence, There's fret"
Women screamed and several mothers
grabbed their children and started for
the back Of the theater. Others began
to rush for the exits and a general
stampede was threatening. A small
boy rushed from the theater, turned
in an alarm and called Patrolman
Thomas Gilenringer, Of the Clinton
Street station.
The policeman ordered tho manager
to turn on the lights. Gilenringer then
walked down the aisles and assured
those running for the doors that "the
FIRE Is out" A moment later a fire
battalion chief and his men pushed into
the place, and trouble seemed to break
out anew, until the nimble patrolman
shouted, "All right, Chief, it was a
false alarm" Not until the audience
had been reseated and the picture WAS
being shown again did the patrolman
learn that there wasn't any fire at all.
