It has been said of Rachmaninoff
that he can not be measured by the

Great Movements of 1928 In the I'M
tied States and in the World.
To the Editor of The Republican
The greatest movements of 1928 are
so momentous that it is difficult to
get mental grasp upon them. The
multilateral treaties and what may
grow out of their ratification; the
coming conference of the Pan-Ameri-
can countries and the question which
may then be settled to the develop
ment of the western continent; the
conference early in the winter at
Washington on air service; the for
ward drive at Geneva in considering
social and economic difficulties; the
emergence from chaos to a possibility
of stabilized government which can
treat anew with other nations OF
China-these are some the great
movements of 1928.
And of all these questions, to take
up one of them, that of China is least
understood. 1t is like kaleidoscope
in which every revolution of twenty
four hours shakes the particles into a
new relation. Says Professor Vernon
Nash, of Peking University: "You
have at least a half-dozen simultan-
eous revolutions going on in China to-
day, in addition to the political over
current, and the marvel is that there
isn't more turmoil and confusion.
But so quietly is this meta morphis
of Chinese life taking place, and so
little attention does it get in our dis
patches, that the average American
seems to me to have a conception OF
China that is az least third of d
century old"
Professor Nash is referring to the
social and economical revolutions
the political ones are those most often
handled in the press and so are better
known; the death of Sun Vat Sen, to
go no further back than that event;
the rise of Chan Kai Shek; the
troubles within the growing Kuomin
tung of Nationalist party, the over
coming Of these and the success OF
the Nationalist which now means the

driving of Chang beyond the Great
Wall, the entrance of Picking, the
changing of even the name of Picking
and the removal of the capital of
United China, so long as the sea-
board provinces are concerned with
strong possibility of bringing into
unity the far and great eastern prov
inces) to Marking; the request of the
Nationalist representative in China
that the new government be recog-
nized by the United States-are some
of the rapid changes And on the
heels of this the renewed request that
the old tariff and extrality treaties be
strapped.
Yet within all these movements is
still another little known and under
stood-the trek from Shantung to
Manchuria Says C. Walter Young,
Willard Straight Fellow in Chinese
Studies, "these Chinese have migra-
ted to Manchuria in such numbers as
to make the movement a phenomenon
unprecedented in the whole period
of modern history" "Manchuria dur
ing the past five years has received
about 100000 immigrants. -.
Throughout the months of the past
year in throngs averaging well over
1000 daily, but often 5000 or more;
they have come ashore at Dairen from
steamship and junk to total of near
ly 100000. men, women and child
