1t Is, speaking generally, true that the
| inhabitants of the native states are
content to follow their princes In 10y
atty to the British Raj, and that the
Moslems are loyal thereto, but there
are exceptions, and in both cases the
| tide may turn.
| 1t should further be borne in mind
that modern revolutions are generally
made in cities and that, though India
is pre-eminently an agricultural coun-
try, its total of industrial works is con-
siderable; about nineteen millions.
Among cotton manufacturing nations
India Is fifth; first in jute, well up in
iron and steel.
CLIMATIC usual Spring fighting
in China was joined again on consid-
cradle scale about the first of May.
There appear to be two grand groups
of rebels against the authority of the
Marking or Nationalist government one
Northern, the other Southern. The
Northern group is yclept the Northern
alliance and is headed by Yen Hsi-Shan,
the model governor" of Shansi Prov
ince, with that enigmatic character
Feng Yu-Hsiang as generaliSsimo. The
Southern group is called the Kwansi
group because its most trustworthy ele-
ments derive from Kwangsi Province,
the very home and citadel of toryism
and tuchiniSm. Nevertheless, advanced
radicals are associated with this group,
such as Chang Fa-Kwei of ''Ironsides''
fame, so that, after all, it is like most
Chinese groupings, heterogeneous, not
to say nondescript. In addition there
are the Red bandits, avid of loot and
blood, but only casually aggregated in
bodies Of formidable size.

struggle between forces of the Marking
government on the one part and forces

along the line of the Lunghair railroad
from Suchow eastern terminus of
that railroad, where it meets the Tien-
| tsin- Pukow line) westward to Cheng-
chow (where 1t crossed the Peking-
Hankow line), and off northward and
northeastward into Shantung province
A glance at the map will show that
complete mastery of the Lunghair
railroad and of Shantung would give to
the Northern Alliance secure possession
of Northern China excepting, of course,
what we may call the independent prin-
cipality of Manchuria). This Northern
fighting continues with the results by
no means made clear by the dispatches.
The Northerners appear to be greatly
superior In number, but this superiority
would seem to be more or less countered
by several facts, as: That many of the
Marking troops have had important
training by German officers; that the
Marking forces are far more efficiently
and amply equipped in respect Of air
planes. tanks and artillery, and (per-
haps most important of alb that Chang
Kai-Shek, the Marking generaliSSimo,
has available the most competent Ger
man advice on strategy and tactics.
No doubt the superiority in numbers of
the Northern Alliance is largely to be
accounted for by the adhesion thereto

which the mind has arrived with refer
ence to the subject
William James said that we could
not have anything without having too
much of 1t, and perhaps we have had
too much of certain aspects of psyche
analysis. We have had too much of
the cheap popularization of this subject
and too much Of uniformed criticism.
We never can have too much of the
facts which it has to disclose. Prof.
Freud many years ago warned this
country that it accepted psychoanalysis
too readily; that he would have pre-
ferred to have seen it more critically
dealt with; that he believed 1t would
thrive better under criticism which
kept 1t within bounds. 1t has suffered
more from its friends than 1t has from
it's enemies, but that does not mean
that 1t should welcome the uniformed
critic.
In the progress of the medical sci
enceS the recognition of mental dis
ease and its treatment have come last.
For thousands of years the physician
has been studying and treating the body
and, particularly since the days of
Pasteur, he has been enormously sue
cesSful in Kidding mankind of certain
specific, infectious, communicable dis
eases.
Now psychoanalysis comes along and
, attempts study of the human mind
1t offers to study mental diseases, to
attempt their understanding, to get
their causes and develop as far as pos
sible adequate methods of prevention
In the few years that it has been
at work it has discovered many things
which its advocates believe to be facts
of observation and laws of function
ing of the human mind. I have no
brief for anything but facts. If what
| it has discovered are facts, then they
have added so much to our knowledge
and will help in so far in developing
the program as above indicated. To
the extent that they are not facts
they will have to be discarded.
PSychoanalysis is scientific in its
approach to these most difficult prob
lens, and so while it has very little
| quarrel with many of its critics SC
| far as such specific instances as Miss
Sedley has given, it has serious quar-
rel with its critics when, because OF
| such instances, a diScarding of the
whole method and body of thought in
volved in this item is recommended
PsychoanaIysis Like a Dream.
In the past and even at the present
time such criticisms, of course, ART
every sympathy with the people whit
make them, but let me call attention
to the fact that, probably since Mis-
| Sedley's article was written, book hai
| appeared which I reviewed in thu

The Story the Week Has Told

portant is driving toward the great
triple city on the Yangtsze (Hankow,
Wuchang and Hanyang), another
toward Shasi on the YangtS2e, in
Southern Pupeh, west Of Hankow,
another (under Chang Fa-Kwe)
toward Kiukiang Con the Yangtsze,
east of Hankow, in Northern KiangsD E.
All three drives seem to be going well.
Dispatches of June 10 told of capture
Yochow, on the Yangtsze abopt half
way between Shasi and HankoW. The
operations of the Kwangsi group are,
of course, immensely facilitated by the
fact that Marking must keep the bulk
and flower of her forces in the North.
And, of course, Marking Is wretchedly
unable to spare troops to deal with the
hideous depredations of the bandits.
From Moscow is heard the eXultant
claim that 10000 Reds possess the
whip hand in the Yangtsze Valley"
which is as it may be.
UNITED STATES-Three bills pro-
posed by Senator Wagner of New York
have been passed by the Senate and
sent to the House. One provides for
monthly publication by the Bureau of
Labor statistics of up-to-date statis-
tics of unemployment. Another pro-
vides for planning of public works, to
involve total expenditures of up to
$3.50 100000 and to be carried on in
periods of industrial slackneSs. The
third calls for an appropriation of
$4,0000 900 to be used for conducting
surveys of the labor situation and for
setting up additional employment sys-
tenn, the latter to involve Federal aids
10 States appropriating equal sums
and Ito limited extenD to involve
extension of aid in transporting labor
from places where it exceeds demand
to places where the demand exceeds
the supply.
These measures are, I believe, still
under consideration by the House. The
total value of commodity exports from
this country in April was only 1894
000, 900 as against $425 ,264 900 for April
1929; indeed, the smallest months total
in that kind of the last five years.
The population of the Borough of
Manhattan dropped by 18 per cent in
the last Federal census printed The
new figure for the City of New York is
about 6,601 900 as against $500, 900 in
1920. The new figure for Chicago Is
| about 3,374,000, representing a gain of
about $4,000 since 1920.

The writer of the following had
Just completed his article covering the

the values" of that tremendously i'm
portant situation, propose a summary
of the chief developments in India
from May 10 (the anniversary of the
outbreak Of the great mutiny in 1850
on, but I am constrained to postpone
it. Outstanding in interest are the
operations of the very efficient royal
air force by way Of curbing the wild
tribeSmen of the northwest frontier,

Gandhi is being made comfortable
In his confinement, his rooms are well
furnished and provided with electric
light. He has a wide veranda, a gar
den and ample room for exercise. He
has his customary food and a sufficient
allowance.
On June there was published the
first volume Of the report of the Simon
commission, presenting in 400 closely
printed pages a careful statement of
existing political and social conditions
in India. The second volume contains
the recommendations of the commits
sion based on its ascertainment and
Interpretation of the facts. For obvious
reasons its publication was postponed
until about a fortnight later than
publication of the first volume. Jude-
ing from the cabled extracts, the first
volume is truly magnificent piece of
work.
A round-table conference to include

Well, make what you will; it is al
least evident that our investigator has
been reading his Descartes. We wish
him well, but we suspect that Thomas
Carlyle was nearer the mark in his
contention that the true pineal gland
seat of both mind and soul, of modern
man, is an adventurous organ, greatly
varying in size and sometimes altogether
lacking-to wit, the purse.

NOTES.-Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, the
great Arctic explorer and humanitarian
Is dead at SO. He played an important
part in the separation of Norway from
Sweden in 1905, and there was even
serious talk of making him King OF
famous expedition was that in the
Fran, 1898 to 1896. Physically he
looked the Morse hero; he was a genu-
inc scientist a man of wide culture, nc
mean pen and ink artist, diplomat
(for three years Norway's Ambassador
70 London). He received the Nobel
peace prize for his extraordinary famine
relief services in Russia in 1921.
On June IS Maj Sir Henry Segrave
holder of the world speed record on
land, died of injuries incurred when
his motor boat, Miss England I'd, going
faster than 100 miles an hour, capsized
on Lake Windermere, England, and he
was hurled into the lake, both arms be-
ing broken, a thigh and a rib frac-
tured and a lung punctured. just
before the disaster he established q
new world speed-boat record.

II hNOW OF mourning IN the universe
which may not be used in a way
10 make 1t source of danger. The
Il force of gravity, which holds our
solar system together, is productive
| of some of the most serious disasters I
nave ever seen; whereas one of mans
| own inventions, to draw the analogy
most clearly, the automobile, kills more
people year in and year out than the
World War did. Yet 1 have not noted
that any one has seriously considered
abolishing the automobile. 1t has not
even been suggested, and, even if 1t
were suggested I have not the slightest
idea that the suggestion would have
any effect upon the industry.
The automobile is not a bad illus
tration. 1t performs most beneficent
functions when it is driven by the
proper person in the service of, let us
say, socially accepted ideal. Suppose
this Is an ambulance carrying a doctor
to some one who has been injured. The
automobile then becomes a fine instru-
ment of public service. But suppose it
is driven by bootlegger at 10 miles an
hour through the center of the city,
surrounded by smoke screen, with
bullets flying back and forth that may
hit any innocent bystander. 1t then
becomes an engine of destruction
moral, physical and social. 1t is not
things in themselves that are good or
bad. 1t is the use that is made of them
PSychoanalysis Is nothing more nor less
than way of discovering certain things
about the mind-certain facts and in
formation of the way in which the mind
works. 1t Is no more moral nor I'M
moral than anatomy or physiology. In
fact, it is an anatomy and physiology
of the mind.
1t is true that when the psyche
analyst began to diSsect The human
mind he found a lot of things that
rather shocked the average conservative,
matter-of- act-minded type of indi-
vidual. Whereupon said individual raised
his voice against the iniquity of psyche
analysis. His voice has had just as
much effect as the havoc of the
hypothetical person mentioned above
who might object to the manufacture
of automobiles
There was time when the dissection
of the human body was considered a
dissertation, and so now some people
still consider the dissection of the
human mind also a dissertation. What
individuals object to is an invasion of
private rights. When Nine. K says to
Nine. Y, 81 am so pleased that you
came this afternoon; it is so lovely of
you; I am always glad to see YOU"
Nine. x would most seriously object to
having some one disclose to Nine Y
what her real thoughts were-namely,
that Nine. Y was a cat and she hated
| the sight of her and she didn't see why
in the world she had to poster her with
her presence ON this particular occasion
Now, psychoanalytic technique has
disclosed lot of alleged facts. Whether
these really are facts or not may be
open to discussion. Ultimately people
will either be convinced that they are
J or that they are not. In any case the
| actual facts will stand, whether people
like them or not, and you and and
civilization generally will have to adjust
| to those facts, whatever they are.

Straw Being Investigated.
They are investigating straw. Amer
lea produces about e6,00O,0 900 tons of
straw each year in its fields of wheat,
oats and other grain. Some straw is
used on the farm as bedding for cattle
and horses, but much is burned.
This straw has value as a raw ma
terial for paper making" remarked Mr..
Emley. We know we can make paper
If 1t. Indeed, some of the earliest paper
made in the United States was straw
paper. But the problem is whether we
can make straw paper good enough and
cheap enough to compete with the bet
ter grade wood pulp paper. This ques-
ton is being investigated"
And many similar questions are
being investigated with the scientists
thorough-going pains and patience and
with the engineers hard-headed atten-
ton TO costs and economies.
A generation ago industry began tc
realize that its future could be served
by research and today the leather tan
ners, the meat packers, the bakers, the
spinners and weavers, the creameries
and score of other industries which
get their raw materials from the farm
have their research laboratories.
