legation at Picking arrived at Hankow
on January IL to discuss with Eugene
Chen, foreign minister of the WI
Chang government, the Hankow affair
and the future of the British conces-
sion
After Cantonese troops belatedly
cleared the mob out of the British
concession at Hankow, a commission
appointed by the WI Chang govern
ment took over the administration
thereof and apparently, patrolled by
Chinese police, it has since been
unmolested. We are told that the
Chinese authorities were urgent with

children were evacuated to Shanghai,
the men remained) to resume bust
ness, but that they refused to do so
pending action by the British govern
ment.
Realistically enough, it might seem
that the Chinese Extremists were
abashed by the results of the Hankow
outrage. The British spoiled all by
their marvellous exhibition of self-re-
straint. They refused to provide M.

Just conceivably that exhibition of
self restraint had a certain moral eff
feet. The ecstatic hour of insulting
parent result being the cessation of
business dealings with the aforesaid
dogs" dealings now seen to be so
essential to the prosperity of Hankow.
Therefore it would seem the. Moder-
ates have gained the ascendency at
least temporarily.
On January 10 Eugene Chen issued
the following notice apparently ad-
dressed to all Chinese off1cials), headed
IAN urgent notification from the min
istry of foreign affairs of the Nation
alist government;
"a new situation has arisen since
the Nationalist entered the British
concession. The British delegate, who
is on his way from Picking, is due to
arrive tomorrow in order to arrange
relations between the two parties. We
have repeatedly declared that the
lives and property of foreign immi-
grants shall really be protected, and
such protection must be given in order
that diplomacy may be facilitated in
it's work. 1t is hereby announced to
the world that such protection will be
afforded by the Nationalist govern
ment.
You are hereby requested to in
form the population that they must
assist, and therefore stop all anti
British and anti Christian movements
during the time the negotiations are
being carried out with Britain"

North Africa Anxious
Over Lakes Recession

North Africa is anxiously wonder
Ing whether Lake Chad in the French
Sudan is soon to disappear The body
of water, which, being fed by various
tributaries. upon whose volume its
size has depended, has covered some
times as much as 10000 square miles
at high water time, is diminishing be-
low its usual proportions during
drought, when it's bed has measured
only some 1900 square miles.
The lake has never been known to
have a permanent outlet and Col
Tilho, who is devoting his life to Afri-
can matters, warns that it now threat
ems to empty its entire waters into
the River Niger. Such an eventuality
Is very much feared in technical and
colonial circles, as 1t would mean ster-
ility for the rich lake delta with an
area of 10000 square miles.
This land is unexcelled for fertility
and, besides being the home of count
less fiocks of fowl, is cultivated with
cotton, sorghum, rice, wheat sugar
cane and tobacco. The drying up of
the lake basin, with it's resultant eff
feet on the productivity of the delta,

Seldom has history presented so
dramatic a situation. But If the Mod
crates have at least temporarily
gained the ascendancy at Hankow,
this is not true of certain other
places, notably Fuchu and Annoy.
Moreover, there is this consideration
to be weighed The Moderates are
playing with fire. However moderate
their aims, they have more or less
used anti-foreignism as an instru-
ment, thinking. no doubt, to curb ex-
treme manifestations. But obviously
that terror may readily get out Of
hand.
Anti-Christian mob hatred, vicious
ly and mendaciously fomented by agi-
tators, gave itself rein in Fuchau, Flu
ken Province, last Sunday and Mon
day. According to the dispatches

An orphanage conducted by Spanish
nuns was attacked with especial feroc-
ity, the agitators having broadcast
the old, old, charge that orphans were
murdered by the nuns. Happily, the
nuns made good their escape disguised
as Chinese.
Evacuation of foreigners from the
upper Yangtse continues as rapidly
as the limited shipping facilities per
NIT.
That excellent institution, Yale in
China, at Changsha, in Human Prov
ince, has been closed because. OF pre-
posterous demands made by students
under Indictment by the extremists.
Among the demands are the following:
The students to have voting repre-
sentation on the governing board; any
member of the teaching staff to De
fired should tWo-thirds OF his students
so vote; the students to determine the
curriculum; no student to be expelled
except by consent of the student body.
1t is no doubt of considerable sig

What Can the Church Do for Labor?

tomorrow or live in dread OF losing
a job, of sickness, or of other dis
ability. 1T seeks to provide the means
for more equitable conditions or EN-
ployment and for the adjustment or
difficulties that grow out of Industrial
relations. When definite standards OF
fair dealings are guaranteed Jointly
by management and representatives
of the workers, labor is there In a
position to render longer service and
to assume definite responsibilities.
But labor cannot enter upon this
larger activity until management
creates the opportunity by guarantees
of justice that beget confidence on the
part of the workers.
Our trade unions are based on craft
divisions which follow the demarca-
tons of different vocational groups.
These groups are the repositories of
work experience, which constitutes
technical information invaluable in
developing greater efficiency and i'm
provement in production. The begin
ming of this type of union manage
ment of cooperation marks the in
itiation Of an educational undertaking
of unreasonable significance, for it
makes possible the utilization of the
production experience of all concerned
in production.
x X
The decisions and the policies of
the trade-union movement must rest
with the wage earnerS themselves.
Upon the various factors in industry
rest distinct functional responsible
ties which labor recognizes. Each
separate factor must have authority
to decide those matters for which it
has functional responsibility. But this
does not imply arbitrary decisions
without consideration of all factors
and elements concerned. In addition
to industrial considerations, public
opinion has a real influence in deter
mining industrial policies. When dis
putes arise within industry, public
opinion becomes increasingly poten'
tial General discussion of the issues
is necessary to an intelligent conclu-
sion, which involves. of course, hav-
ing the necessary data available. In
this connection the church could rem
der service, not only to labor but to
industry and society, by providing un'
biased agencies for joint educational
discussion. This service does not ne
cessitate partisan or definite action
on specific issues by the church, for
that would be distinctly outside its
province. But the church can with
propriety be the champion of free
discussion and fair play. OF tran
scendent influence would be the ethical
standards and emphasis on right liv-
ing which the church would focus
upon any concrete situation. Under
standing of industrial conditions and
industrial forces is essential to dis
cussion.
Any effective aid to labor must be
based upon an understanding of work
ers, their organizations, their condi.
tons of work and of living and the
hopes they hold. This understanding
can be FASTENED if ministers and the
more enlightened of the congregations
take the lead in furthering it and in
increasing their own knowledge.

President American Federation of Labor.
NK EN- look to the church as the
NH agency which will teach
WI them to find the kingdom of
1 4 heaven and to live right
eous life Labor is gener-
alIv regarded as the newer of wood
and the drawer Of water. To those
who do not see how the various parts
of living are interlaced in complete
EXPRESSION of life, the church and
labor symbolic different planes OF
activity. Those who find in all of life
q unity that implies that each diner
ent activity is part of related en-
deavor for self development seek q
unifving principle. This l understand
10 be the basis of this inquiry: What
can the church do for labor?
That which is a common tie between
all men is sincere longing for life. and
life more abundantly. individuals
differ widely in the kind of life they
think they want, but one and all, con-
sciously or unconsciously, are in quest
of the mysteries of the kingdom of
God, through which we shall learn
the meaning of life.
:; x x X
Some of us see the church as the
road to the kingdom of God. Others
see it through the redeeming power
of great social reform. And still
others hope that through the develop
ment and release of creative power
in men human beings may express
their spiritual natures. And others
there are with the penetration to see
in all these things the ineXtingulsh-
able desire of men to have more OF
life. Men are everywhere grasplng
after pleasures and possessions or
something to satisfy the longings of
human nature. This very simple
principle brings a definite meaning out
of what seems otherwise a mad
scramble.
The church has the responsibility
of developing creative activity i'll
spiritual living and in directing re-
ligious education along lines that will
promote character building and right
living. In addition we look to the
church for the art of developing
spiritually, just as we look to our
schools for the art of developing intel
lectually. AS the spirit of the man is
that which dominates and colors his
living. it is evident that the church
has a functional opportunity to be
the all-pervading factor in individual
and community life, if the church
achieves it's fullest possibilities.
X x
Through its influences on the main
springs of character and thus deepen
ing the currents of living, the church,
that influences spiritual life by main
tanning high standards of justice and
fellowship between men, makes its
greatest contribution to the cause of
labor. The fundamentals of human
relations which the church teaches
should serve as the basis for human
relations in industry and all work
relations.
The labor movement had its origin
in hunger that was both physical and
spiritual. Labor seeks life and life

more abundantly. 1t seeks relief from
long, hours and animal-like toll, that
it might know the glory of well-living
and opportunity for the beauty and
color which add richness, depth and
symbolism to living.
The movement seeks to develop the
character and self-respect of working
men and women by making them feel
that they are of Importance to in
dustry and to society and that they
should be and must be consulted
when matters affecting their interests
are at stake in the concerns for which
they are working. 1t brings to
workers responsibility instead of ac-
ceptance of the position of humbly
taking what others decide to give
them, or dumbly doing what they are
told.
Labor movements seek first those
economic standards that lift the hori-
ION of the workers lives and widen
