CHINESE ARE NOT READY
FOR REPUBLIC, CLUB TOLD
Newspaper Man Holds Lack of
Education Is Chief Fault
of Populace.

Discounting the belief Of many
Americans that China is fully compe-
tent to be a republic, and declaring
that the republic as desired by Sun
Vat Sen is not now possible, Frederick
Moore, newspaper man, told the Har-
ward Club Thursday night of Far
East conditions. Mr.. Moore spent II
years in a first-hand study of the Far
East. He related the fundamental de-
fects Of the government as he saw
them.
These defects" he said, "are lack
Of communication and lack Of educa-
tional facilities, which have made the
nation largely one of coolies"
Crowded conditions. made worse by
a heavy birth rate and little emigra-
ton. were partly to blame, he added.
Few Americans. even though
otherwise we'll informed, have any ac-
curate idea of the real conditions
there. There can be no real patriot
ism while practically the whole popu-
lace is on the verge of starvation and
while the many war lords, so called,
and the host Of lesser brigands pillage
for personal gain. With very few ex-
8 ceptions. the many self-appointed gen
erals carefully remain away from the
fronts, as do most of the otherwise
patriotic Chinese students"

County now included In the town of
Falls Church. In all this area reside
from so. 900 to $1,000 people and the
population is increasing at rate else
where unknown in this part of the
country.
"The grounds for suggesting the
unifcation of all this territory into
one corporate entity are many. Among
them is the fact that AleXa ndria was
a city before the American Revolution.
Historically it has few counterparts,
If any, in the country. George Wash
ington and many Of the Revolution
ary patriots frequented that city. 1t
has been a commercial center of i'm
portance for over a century. 1t has
extensive wharves and deep water,
with possibilities of unlimited extern
sion as the necessity demands. 1t
has commercial houses. wholesale job
bers and others of national reputation.
It's financial institutions stand second
to none in the State of Virginia. or in
any other State, in their reputation
for stability and service to the COM
munity. 1t is upon these financial in.
stitutions, and the money that flows
in and out of them. that Arlington
County has developed. Its people may
he said to be the very flower of Vir-
ginia.
To-day Arlington County has a
population estimated to be from so TO
100 per cent greater than AleXa ndria
City. 1t is strictly a residential Sec
tion.$ Aside from the brickyards and
railroad yards in the southern part of
the county it has no important busi-
ness enterprises. 1t Is the general
feeling of the county that it should
not be commercialiZed and that such
business as is necessary should be To-
Gated in the southern end of the
county adjoining the city of Alex

how serious the consequences might
be to the community for failure to
provide a form of government to meet
the changed conditions, assistance
from this element should hardly be
expected
Mr. Lyon said the 80 or 40 civic
organizations of the several commun-
tiles have given the question of local
government much thought. Generally,
he thinks they are sincere and are
working for the benefit of the county.
These civic orga aniZations have
recognized tlat q rural government is
not appropriate for city population.
said Mr.. Lyon, "and naturally turn to
incorporation as a solution of the
problem"
But Mr.. Lyon thinks those who
want city government have not re-
ceived the wholehearted support or
the independent masses. who seem to
have IAN intuition that something is
lacking" asthe puts it, "in the incor-
poration idea"
