It was passed by the Legislature, but

It seems likely that in the new diSpen-
sation the settling of traffic problems
will depend upon the best intelligence
not only of the engineer. but of the
public health commissioner, the archi-
tect, the psychologist, the philosopher
and even the poet.
Distribution of products is in some
respects the knottiest problem of the
present time. It's scope is much wider
than economics 1t involves not only
what people can be made to buy by
high-pressure SalesmanShip, but also
what will bring people some measure OF
happiness. And what is happiness? An
old. old question, to which the social
sciences, as they progress, may help to
provide a reasonable answer.
Today business leadership makes
very large demands. AS We have had
ample occasion to observe in the last
decade. the men who are called upon
to lead in business, domestically as we'll

economists but attentive students of
history and social philosophers as we'll

The tendency to mistake the relative

t1on OF great region which has been
practically under your influence ever
since 1905"
The japanese with whom I discussed
this question admitted to me that a
great majority of the industrial enter
prises undertaken hitherto in Man
churia under Japanese management
had failed and that those which still
survive are unimportant.
The explanations 1 received appeared
to me to be full of the true national
dignity that lies in acknowledging ones
own mistakes and in not underestimate
ing ones neighborS.
I'VE ought to have brought her." they
told me, "all the qualities in which the
Chinese are lacking-that is to say, a
perfect technical organization, no make
shifts, no easy business, such as the
manufacture Of soya oil, which was
bound to fall into the hands of the
Chinese. The check to the industrial
enterprise of the Japanese in Manchu-
ria is due, above all, to want Of knowl-
edge, study, effort and union on the
part Of our directors and capitalists.
The japanese have too often yielded
to their passion for trusting to luck
or to their longing for immediate sue
cess. Thus they could not struggle
against the Chinese, who are so re-
doubtable in spite of their slowness."
Would you not rather say because
of their slowness?' asked.
"ff you like. Moreover, our people
have refused to study the habits and
customs Of the country, thinking that
they are in a conquered land. With a
diSdain for the Chinese, for which we
have had to pay dearly. 1t was long
thought that any Japanese .hrst-ccmeT
would prove to be better than they. For
instance no f1r5t-class technical expert
has yet been to Manchuria. Factories
installed by pCor. engineers give little
satisfaction. even when they work. All
this has caused the delay in develop
ment-a development which is now a
crying necessity for U.s."

often tyrannizes over the faculty. Yet
as the approach to all subjects becomes
broader better balance of values will
be set up and this evil will diminish.
Another thing: Social consciousness
is a term which is beginning to have
definite meaning. 1t answers to a need
of what Prof John Dewey calls our
corporate civilization. An individual
must now share the lives of great
masses of his fellow beings. What they
do is of immediate concern to him and
vice versa, and likewise the nations of
the whole world are now neighbors. In
some manner an individual must find
his ideals and work out his own SAL
Vatlon as coSmopolite. He has re-
sponSibilitieS TO society and to govern
ment which the sudden changes during
quarter of century have so altered
as to make them seem entirely new
responsibilities. How shall we meet
them?
More specifically, the individual is
associated with great variety of hu-
man typeS-canitalist, socialist, Com
muniSt, bigot ana free thinker, poet and
iteralist-engaged in all sorts of occu-
pations. Representatives of each, pre-
sumably. are as sincere as he is, have
as strong convictions and as high am
bltlonS. He cannot merely brush aside
those whom ne does not like. Our cor
porate civilization prevents that. He
may not criticize or condemn until he
understands; nor can he compete ex-
cept by understanding. Only broad and
accurate knowledge will avail to adjust
the individual " his environment and
help him to master 1t.
Can the social sciences cope with
such complex questions? In the light
OF what is now taking place, it seems
safe to predict that the scientific spirit,
upon which depends the wise discussion
OF such questions, will recruit a mighty
band OF devotees, especially from the
rising generation.

Japan's Millions and Crisis

| Those who spoke to me were sincere.
| The legend of Japanese duplicity is one
| OF the masterpieces of our European
! hypocrisy. AS If we were-we-so sim
cere all the time! What is unfortunate
is that for the ~ esent these Japanese
seem to have no great influence on the
decisions of the Toxic cabinet
But I think one may optimisticalIv
! believe that in spite Of governmental
/ fits OF blindness, the majority of think
/ ing japanese have learned that japan
must not try to eject the Chinese or
treat them harsilly, and that the Chi
nese must be included in their calcu-
! lationS.
This, and only this, is line of po-
! litical and economic penetration worthy
of a great people.
The JapaneSe-the masses as we'll as
the highest leading personalities of
| Japan-underStand it and admit that
1t Is the only paying policy in China.
| The most liberal-minded among the
japanese even think that Japan ought
| to go farther and displace the United
states as the friend Of China" In that,
! PROBABLY they will never succeed
Neighbors, in International life, rarely
feel and act as best friends; the best
friends" are onIy the neighbors Of the
neighborS
But if Japan can find the strength
and courage to discard the warlike
urgingS Of the mihtaristic and reaction
airy parties and appear disloyal-only
| to superficial oLservers-to the fierce
old Samurai spirit, great era may be
| unfolding for her sons in Manchuria
and IA the whole Of China.
II, on tbs contrary. a government
afraid Of the movement Tor democracy
| so rapidly spreading in Japan is really
going to try the old game and precipi-
tate international complications in
oredr to be able better to. suppress the
dagerous seeds Of liberty, at home,
then-oh, then, momentary successes
might perhaps be found for the ao-
proval of natioaalistic crowds.
But eventual failure would be sure-as

Plan Dirigible Line
To u. S. From Hawaii

Dirigible service on a
commercial basis and with a regular
schedule is planned from the Pacific
Coast to Hawaii and return, but its
actual establishment depends upon
additional Federal legislation. This is
the information recently received by
John r. Gait, local director in the
Pacific Zeppelin Transport Co, Ltd,
from j. c. Hunsaker, president and
general manager of the company, which
is a subsidiary of the Goodyear-Zeppelin
Corporation.
Comdr. Hunsaker, former naval
officer, says that definite steps, on the
Hawaiian schedule will await the action
of Congress on the McNary-Parker bill
extending Federal aid to American
owned commercial airships. 1t is in
dicated that the company hopes this
legislation will be passed by Congress
