CHINESE At ODDS
| ON MARITAL SCORE
Writer Finds Women Favor
Moaogamy, While Their
Husbands Do Not.
By the Associated Press.

u the ASSOClateo rIeos
PEIPING, April 23.-China's women
are ready for monogany, but her men
are still polygamously inclined, Pearl
S. Buck, author of last years best seller,
THE Good Earth" declared in a lee
ture here.
"A Chinese woman expects to love
her husband. nor does she expect to
leave him or have her feelings change
toward him." Mrs. Buck pointed out.
'For the average Chinese woman her
marriage is her fate and she does not
question it."
However, untold bitterness and dis
unity have been caused in Chinese fam
lily life by the concubinage system, now
forbidden by law.
Until Chinese men change their
psychology, women are in a precariouS
state" Mrs. Buck said. Men are ac-
customed to having more than one wife
and they often do not have a perma-
nent feeling toward their wives.
The permanent quality of their feel
ings is linked to the family and not to
the wife personally. Consequently Chi
nese men are likely to be emotionauy
unstable.
In the old days if a woman was
unable to hold her husbands love and
he took a concubine, she still had eV-
erything left. She still had her place
in the family and was not disgraced nor
LEFT without support.
Now she is divorced and loses every
thing If she is not Western trained,
she has no way of making a living,
h-it 1ncaS har in hr1Shn ND
family and in his life entirely
"One of the modern problems of
China is to train her men in monogamy
ana in the highest ideals of married
love This is needed to break down
the influence of centuries of sanctioned
polygamy."
Chinese women usually are supreme
IN the home and in the domestic af-
fairs Of the family. Mrs. Buck pointed
out. Although according to law the
rule rests with the man, in practice it
is the woman who tells the man what
he is to decree.
To many who have dealings with
Chinese men and women it seems the
women have the stronger characters"
she said.
The reason for this rests with the
family system, which has favored the
son instead of the daughter Boys are
INDUCED from birth up to such an ex-
tent that their characters often are
permanently ruined.
Girls. on the other hand. are taught
self-sacriflce, service and. best of all,
learn to accept and make the best of
their lives
Some Of the finest, wisest and
strongest characters in the world are to
be found among old-fashioned Chinese
women Of every class 1t is upon wom-
an that the brunt of life falls in China
and hers is often the best and most
practical head in the family"

Baker Will Pass Sentence
Next Week on Young Man
Who Robbed Bus.

Lawrence A. White. former But
Ter university student, charged with
robbing bus driver, was found
guilty Friday by Criminal Judge
Frank P. Baker.
After Professor Ray Fresner of
the Butler staff and Whites former
instructor, joined Whites parents
in a request to Baker to show
leniency to the ex-student, Baker
declared White must serve part of
a ten-year sentence in prison.
Police captured White March 5,
his twenty-frst birthday, after a
long chase after the youth held up
Roy Hutchinson, OF 5235 Altha ave-
nue., fleeing with a money changer,
which he lost in the chase.
The youths parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
William T. White. of 14O5 Hamilton
avenue, said they believed their son
staged the robbery to get funds to
re-enter school. He was forced to
leave year ago because of the
financial condition of the family,
they said. He now is paying part
of the expenses of a brother at
tending an Iowa university, they
told Baker.
Baker said sentence will be pro-
nounced next week.
