EAST AND WEST MAY
 YET COME TOGETHER
Dr. GuIck Says the Breach Is
 Not Impossible

Columbus, Dec. 14.-"The reconcil- iation of the great races in the Far East is the most tremendous miracle Of the ages" declared Dr. Sidney L.. Guliek, secretary of the Commission on International Justice and Goodwill and authority on the Far East, at the annual meeting of the Federal Coun- cil of Churches this afternoon The Washington conference on Limitation of Armament played big part in this movement" he said, removing distrust of the United States" He declared that "the good will of the nations of the East for the United States is most remarkab ble."
 There has been great awakening among the young people, which has led to an educational movement way beyond the capacity of existing insti- tutions The rapid invasion of the Orient by western industrialism with mass production and congestion Of population in cities is a growing evil" he stated, 'particicularly in China, where conditions in many places are most distressing
 Dr. Gulick. after reviewing the in- creasing educational needs of Japan, observed during a recent journey, spoke in part as follows:
 In the Far East.
 'The attitude of appreciation and goodwill toward America manifested in all the Far Eastern countries was most impressive. The Washington Conference on Limitation Of Arma- ment has accomplished much in re- moving doubts and suspicious and in convincing, particularly the Japan ese, that America has no selfish, ag- sressiYe purposes of conquest and domination in the acifc. That Wash ington Conference rolled away what were felt in Japan to be ominous clouds of storm and possibly disaster
 T was impressed afresh with the unparalleled opportunity which Amer jeans have in the Far East in assert l ing those influences of goodwill and friendship so necessary in the main- | tenanee of peace and in the promo ton of genuine prosperity in those l ands , America has convinced the Orient l that our national attitudes and poli- cies are distinctly different from those Of other nations; that we are ready to | deal with them on the basis of con- sideration and goodwill which satis- fes their sense of dignity and equality | and makes possible a mutual under standing and cooperation for the com- mon good.
 .,perhaps the deepest impression | made upon me was that of an extra ordinary modern miracle in the mak- iLg, namely the reconciliation of great races. Every Sunday l at tended church services. There I saw Christian leaders. Chinese, ko- rean. Japanese. carrying forward the responsibility of their church services in forms and with spirit that com manded my deepest admiration. Tn those strange tongues they were read ing the same Bible that we read, ofering prayer to the same Heavenly Father, and singing the same great hymn. of the Faith.
 Moreover 1t was evident from tho relations manifest between mission aries and native Christians that there were deep bonds Of fellowship and friendship. Those Chinese, Korean and Japanese pastors and missionaries from the West really know and un- derstand. trust and love each other.
 .The cfasm between the East and the West is not impossible. The bridge of brotherhood and good will is growing broader and stronger every year. This is a wonderful achieve mcnt. the most tremendous miracle of the ages In it lies the hope Of the world for only through most fundamental reconciliation of the great races of the East and the West is there hope of the ultimate peace Of the world"
