LONDON, July II - ASSOCIATED
Press Mail)-Sir Rider Haggard is of
the opinion that Western civilization
is by no neal so secure as many
Westerners believe.
I'VE have an idea that the West is
going on forever" he said, lecturing
before the Norwich Rotary Club, but
can we be quite sure of that? Those
who have studied and know the East:
its enormous power of reproduction;
It's simple habits of life on the land.
and its system of moralities which
make every woman think it her duty
to have children, know that it contains
an enormous potential power which
must one day break out.
Whether it can be curbed | do not
know, but | have grave doubts. |

Roosevelt, saying when talking of
Japan, Look out for your Australia;
it will be the first place to CO.
IF once Japan secures the control
of China the outlook for the Western
World will be very cloudy"

ably would go the way of other civili-
cations that had preceded it.

Portugal Looks With
Friendly Eye On Brazil

LISBON, July 10 - ASSOCIATED
Press Mai)-The daring act of Por-
tuguese aviators in flying from Lisbon
to Rio de Janeiro, says the Seculo in
an editorial article, has created a bond
of union ard amity between Portugal
and Brazil and has ushered in the
psychological moment to improve ex-
listing political relations.
Under the monarchy this seemed on
the eve of accomplishment, the paper
continues. The king vas about 10
visit Brazil, but his assassination pre-
vented. The circumstances at that
time were most opportune.
The old question between England
and Brazil of the Island of Trinidad
had been settled by arbitration, and
Portugal's course had O the Sympa-
thy of Brazil. Today the two own
tries are uniting in their acclaim of
the Portuguese flyers, and the mo-
ment should be seized to reach mutual
ly agreeable settlements of outstand-
ing problems.
These the Seculo summarizes as fol-
lows-Nationalized and direct naviga-
ton; the establishment of radio com
munication; the making of Lisbon the
port of distribution to Europe for
Brazilian products, and a treaty of
emigration.
In conclusion the paper points out
that Brazil has a greater population
than any Portuguese colony, and eX-
horts both Portuguese and Brazilians
to grasp this opportunity and, as
brothers of the same race to act to-
gether in full understanding and to
their mutual advantage.

In New York Times of July Is.

One of the uniquely interesting and
fast vanishing aspects of ranch life
in Hawaii is the shipping of cattle
from ports where the steamer is fore
ed to anchor at a distance from the
land. The majority of cattlemen en-
deavor to market their stock from
harbors where the boats can dock in
conventional fashion, thus saving
much knocking about and consequent
loss of weight. But there are quite a
number still compelled by distance
and difficulty of transportation to ship
in the old way.
For concentrated action. danger and
the acme of cowboy skill it is not to
be exceeded by any of the other varied
branches of ranch work in the islands.
The cattle are assembled in corrals
adjacent to the water but above the
reach of the tide. Restless and APP
prehensive, they shift about uneasily,
in striking contrast to the bored de-
lection of the horses tied to the rails
outside. With the placidity of dark
skinned races that know not time, the
cowboys, squatting on metallic lava
~promontories, watch the unruffled
splendor of the peacock blue sea for
the coming of the cattle boat.
When at length-for frequently they
have to wait two or three days Tor it's
coming-the uninspiring craft shows
up against the primal scarlet of a
wind-blown island there is a general
stir among the men. Moving with
awkward gait, they inspect saddles
and tighten girths. The horses be-
