Julia and Cathleen advanced toward
the group. They had reached the edge

of his fingers on a table and. striking
an attitude OF vast dignity, solemnly
announced:

remain forever an ignorant, linn

Human biology knows better.

spreads into all human con-
Germs, changing spirit as well as
method. What science, with
quite small resources, has done
in a century or so in establish
ing a progressive order through
out a large part of the field OF
possible knowledge, all mankind
in a century or so can do for all
the affairs Of earth"
It is, in fact, central to Wells
thought that human nature mas
changed, can be changed, ana
must change. The first ne
proves by a study Of the past,
and he deduces the second from
the first. But a new element
enters with the third-the COM
pulsion on us to change human
nature, to destroy the peasant
and create the devoted, selfless,
"priestly" character. Twenty
years ago Wells aspired to a bet
ter world; he wrote, concurrent
ly with his novels Of the pres
ent, books about Utopias. He
tried to make his Utop1as as IN
teresting as London in 1910 (al-
though nothing he ever WroGe
had the excitement and glamor'
the frenzy and cheer Of life, as
much as Tono-Bungay). He SAID
to us, wouldn't you like to live
in an orderly world?" and we
said, emphatica1ly, "No!'
The new tone is the tone OF
desperation and command. he
is no longer asking us. He Is
telling us, with impressive proof
that If we do not change, the
world goes under and we with 1t.
He no longer talks about pleas
ant green lands; he talks aoouC
the minimum surrender we have
to make If we are to keep gong
at all.

Russia Comments

Pravda, one Of the mouth
pieces of government in Russia,
teaches us our mistake. Slim.
son, it appears, has been urg-
ing on the japanese, in the
hope that a RuSso-Japanese
war would ensue.. Obviously in
such a war the United States
could not lose-apart from mu-
nitions, we should gain by the
mutual exhaustion Of the ems
emy nations, eliminating either
our chief competitor in the Pa
cific or our worst enemy on the
broad economic field. and prob
ably both In realistic politics"
this would be a desirable end,
and Secretary StimSon would
get medals and statues; prob
ably he would also make the
first proposals for peace and
win the Nobel prize. as Roose-
velt did for a similar enterprise.
It still remains obscure why
the Japanese were so willing to
take offense at StimSon's pur-
ported remarks on their policy,
why every move he has made
has tended to keep the Japa-
nese out Of the Russian sphere
of influence, and why the gen
eral object Of his diplomacy
seems so pitifu1ly pacifist. Per
haps he doesn't know his own
mind; and perhaps Pravda
doesn't know his mind either.
Human Nature Again
IT have a peasant persona"
writes John Forrest, referring
back to H. G. Wells classified
ton, "and what can I do about
it? I want to get a lot Of
money and to keep a good deal
of it in a safe place. I envy, I
fear, and hate. I am a pretty
mean type. What are you and
Mr.. Wells going to do about it?
Can you change human nature
in general and mine In particu-
lar?"
Mr. Forrest is trying to tell
me that he feels no call to
dedicate his life to anything
higher than a 12.room duplex
apartment, lots Of good liquor,
and a yacht. I suspect him Of
trying to trap me into evange-
lism, as If his soul mattered to
me. Happily I do not have to
do anything about him, and
happily Mr.. Wells has answered
his question. On page 432 OF
"The Work. Wealth and Happi-
ness of Mankind" he writes:

The Washington times., 1931-12-07

In the 30-page booklet OF
Russia is there a tradition or
precedent which forbids a court
to review new evidence? Is 1t
possible for a man convicted on
the evidence Of a perjurer to
get a new trial? If another
man confesses to guilt, can the
innocent convict be taken out
of prison? Qn New York a
new trial has just begun for a
youth who was convicted for a
crime which a convicted mur'
derer now confesses, but in
Massachusetts, until recently,
new evidence could not be
brought before a reviewing
court.)
The average man, appearing
in court, is intimidated by its
ritual and baffled by the enor.

not think he will share Mr..
Buckingham's irritation over
the short book of law which
any man can master in a few

The day the late Dwight Nor
row was appointed ambassador
to Mexico a young man OF
ideas informed me, on the best
of authority, that he had been
sent there "by Wall Street" to
foment war with Mexico. If
that was true, it constitutes
Morrow's single (and most
honorable) failure. What brings
it to mind is the violence OF
Russian feeling against Secre-
tary Stimson. At, home the line
of criticism has been that Mr..
Stimson has gone too far in
checking the advance of the
japanese; that our protests
have all been favorable to
China, and that we should not
be concerned with the unoffi-
cial war now going on in the
East.
