also was discussed today.
Dr.. O. M. Stratton. professor OF
psychology Of the University OF Cali
fornia, in conducting the general con-
ference on that subject, presented
speakers representing the British,
French, Polish. Japanese and italian
points Of view.
DR.. Stratton stressed the Importance
of knowledge of national Character
istics in international understandings.
World Needs Understanding.
This disordered world needs mutua,
understanding, he said. THE healing
Of its disorders requires not only that
We see ourselves as others see US, but
also that we see others as they see
themselves
"Tne worlds problems will not be
solved merely by knowing one another.
but by knowing one another we shall
be well on the way 10 solving them.
Besides knowledge, will also is neces-
Sary, and patience and mutual re-
spect. Difficulties can resist intelli-
gence, but not many of them can
resist the full human equipment Of
intelligent, determined mutual respect.
In speaking Of the Japanese national
mind" Jusuke Tsurmi, former member
OF the Japanese OleJ, DISTINGUISHED De-
tween imitation" and adaptation" as
Japanese trait.
The Japanese have not been initiating
foreign nations, but have recognized
some superior points in foreign cultures
and have lost no time in importing
them" he stated This is n5t i-rita-
ton. but adaptation, he argued.
Describes Poland's Part.
Mr. Weintal reviewed the part Poland
has played in International affairs and
gave as the dominating Polish traits
patriotism and love of liberty.
"As an element in our international
relations he said, this feature of our
national character has played an i'm
portant part I am convinced that the
heroism of Kosciusko and the sacrifice
OF Pulaski. more than any other single
factor, have contributed to the friend
ship and cordial relations which exist
today between the United States and
Poland"
the Polish speaker pointed out that
1t was Marshal Pilsudski who made the
Polish people realize the futility of po-
litical chickering's as a matter of per-
sonal feeling and individualism. He

Germany has deliberately ignored, and

He said Germany had taken this att

LOS ANGELES roo

Having commented on the sins of Chi
cago and New York, it is only fair to
point out that California's tally sheet is
not clean by any means.
We have had gangstering and rack
eteering in our midst for some time and
appear to be almost as helpless as our
metropolitan cities in dealing with it.
Yesterday saw CALIFORNIA; first real
gangster funeral when Dominic Di Ci-
ola, liquor racketeer and victim of gang
warfare, was buried with all the tawdry
pomp and ceremony that gang custom
has decreed is the style for those who
pay the price.
Gangster funerals are an old story
elsewhere. The costly casket, carloads
of flowers, an ornate procession and all
the trappings that gangsters think are
essential, are familiar ,sight wherever
gangdom rears its head. But with us
they are new spectacle.
Come to think about it, they ought to
be popular. Not necessarily with gang
sters, but among the law abiding element.
The more gangster funerals we have the
few gangsters remain. Let's have a few
more of them and the sooner the better.

PAYING FOR CARELESSNESS

Grim tragedy, which has marked all
the accounts of the Viking disaster, takes
an ironical twist in the latest account
of the explosion on the sealing ship,
which numbered among its victims Var
lex Frissell, young American explorer
and adventurer.
Survivors of the disaster, who are Just
reaching the outposts of civilization, al
though it happened nearly two weeks
ago, report that young Varick was paint
ing sign, warning all members OF the
crew away from the powder magazine
when the explosion occurred.
Carelessness in connection with large
quantity of explosives aboard the ship
had been noticed by Frissell, who sought
to urge caution on his comrades. The
sign he was making was on his lap when
the explosion hurled him into eternity,
with % others of the crew.
No trace of Varick was seen again.
For over week his surviving comrades
struggled against the Arctic ice to
reach safety. With them they brought the
story of the young mans fate.
Reports from them indicate terrible
carelessness regarding the explosives
aboard the vessel. 1t is tragic that the
one Who recognized this carelessness and
sought to stop it, should be among those
who died because others were not care
full.
