WRITER HOLDS FREEDOM
! OF DISCUSSION VITAL
Angell, Blaming Nationalism for
Strife, Doubts United States
Britain Clash.

Freedom of discussion as funda-
mental requisite of democracy was
stressed by Norman Angel, author and
lecturer, Tuesday night In an address
delivered in Andrew Rankin Memorial
Chapel at Howard University, as the
second in the lecture-recital series
sponsored by the university. National
ism, rather than capitalism, he said, is
the principal cause Of war. He charac-
terized as folly any prediction of war
between Great Britain and the United
States because Of commercial interests.
Mr.. Angel deplored the fact that edu-
cation does not necessarily develop the
sense of good judgment as related 10
political affairs and that mere popu-
larity often dominates reason. Public
qYinion, he said, is the controlling fac
tAr in a democracy.

HARDIN, Manchuria, July "a
Reports today from Manchuli, on
the eastern border of Manchuria,
say that a water famine prevails
there, due to the fact that the Chi
nese coolie water carriers have been
impressed into the army and put to
digging trenches.
Food shortage is also said to be
in sight.
Chinese apparently are making no
move to comply with the Russian
ultimatum demanding the release of
Russian railway officials who were
thrown in jail.
There have been unconfirmed re-
ports that Chu Shialiang, former
Chinese ambassador at Moscow. is
on his way here to meet a Rus
sian envoy from Moscow for a con-
ference.
1t is considered here that every
days delay strengthens Russia's S
military position and that if war
comes Russia will be able to strike
on several sides simultaneously.
