learned white weaknesses-and went home to tell their people the whole story.
 Asia and Africa today know Europe as they never knew 1t before, and we may be sure that they will make use of their knowledge. The most serious factor in the situation is that the famous Versailles peace" which purports to have pacified Europe is no peace. but rather an unconstructive, understandable fu tility that left old sores unhealed and even dealt fresh wounds. Europe today lies debilitated and uncured. while Asia and Africa see in this a standing indictment to rash dreams and violent action.
 Such is the situation today. An East. torn by the conflict between old and new facing a West riven by 1 dissension and sick from it's mad follies Probably never before have | the relations between the two worlds contained SD many ircalculabie, even cataclysrnic, possibilities.
 The point to be here noted is that { this strange new East which now faces us is mainly the result of
 western influences permeating it in
 unprecedented fashion for the past l hundred years.-Lathrop Stoddard in
 Scribner's Magazine.
