Some of the Republican newspapers
are limiting that Governor Christian
son got cold feet and didn't dare to
run for U. S. senator for fear of being
defeated. We doubt this very much.
The governor has never acted very
much like man who is afraid of
anything. But we do think that he
very sensibly decided that Minnesota
could not be better represented in the
senate than is being done right now
by Senator Henrik Shipstead, and that
there was no good reason for trying
to displace him.-Mille Laos County

French production equals consump-

When the Germans flooded French

WESTERN MEN
Says Occident Is Not

SHANGHAI, June l6.-tP-The
Orient's claim to spiritual superiority
ove the 'materialistic" west were as
sailed BY DR.. Hu Shin. leader Of the
modern Chinese literary renais-
sance, in a lecture before an inter
national audience here.
I'VE must realize that a Henry
Ford, q Watt. a Fulton, a Cart
wright, whose inventions have bene-
fitted millions of persons, is far
more spiritual than the mendicant
priest in the east who sells saliva
ton for a consideration" asserted
DR.. Hu. A graduate Of Cornell
University Of the class OF 1914, DR..
HUI lectured in America and Eng
land last year.
THE civilization of a race is SIM
ply the sum total OF its achieve
ment in adjusting itself to its en-
vironment," the lecturer said. Man
is a tool-making animal, he argued.
and his progress is marked BY the
invention Of tools for conquering his
surroundings. In this the Orient,
and especially China-which once led
in invention-has Jagged behind.
Herein lies the real explanation
Of the difference between eastern
and western civilization" he said.
ut is n difference in degree which,
in course of time, has almost
amounted to a difference in kind.
What a difference there is when
we compare the life of the wheel
barrow or rikisha %coolie, who tolls
and sweats under that peculiar
form Of human slavery which
knows neither the minimum wage
nor any limit of working hours,
with that Of the American workman,
who works eight hours a day, who
rides in his own car, who enjoys the
best music of the land brought to
his home by the radio for almost no
cost. and whose children are educated
in schools equipped with the most
modern library and laboratory ia
c~ilities.
"We are constantly told that the
eastern civilization is spiritual and
the western materialistic. This be-
trays much confusion of thought.
All verbal quibbling will disappear
II we extend u conception Of spir-
ituality 10 include, as it ought to in
clude, all the intellectual, artistic,
moral as we'll rs the religious phases
Of human life.
"We must see that Pasteur, who
devotes his life Il the study Of pre-
~vention Of contagious disease, Is
far more spiritual than the mediae-
val saints whose religious fervor and
fanaticism sent thousands of inno-
cent children to the Crusades. We
must see that even the casual pedes-
trial who reports to the police a
purse found on the roadside has in
him more spirituality than the Chi
nese beggar-woman who constantly
calls on the compassion Of Buddha
while searching a garbage heap for
rags and half-burned coal"

surplus OF sixty or seventy million
tons a e AS all countries for
generations have considered France
as an importer Of coal, they all still
try to capture the market here, ig-
noring the fact that France now
mines all she burns. Therefore, the
French coal operators are puzzling
how to reduce costs, curtail produc-
ton and restrict imports so coal
won't become too cheap.
Some imports are certain TO come
in because in Brittany it is cheaper
to get coal by sea from England
than by rail from the other side of
France. Similarly, there are points
in France where the Belgians and
Germans have a shorter haul than
the French.
