A CHINESE CONSCIENCE


In spite of Berte Harte's famous rhyme
in which he declared that tfor ways that
are dark and for tricks that are vain the
Heather Chinese is peculiar" there are a
good many honest Chinese, possibly as
large percentage as among other nation
alities.
At any rate, rather unusual quality
Of honesty was found in one when the
Rockefeller Foundation established hos
nstal in Peiping to be maintained by ns
tive staff of doctors. The headship of one
of the hospitals departments was offered
to young Chinese physician, who replied
to the offer rs follows:
IF this offer is made because of my
ability as a scientist, accept, but if pro-
posed because am Chinese, must de-
cline
This desire to stand on his own merits
rather than accept position because of
his nationality, was most commendable.
How many Americans would decline po-
sition on such grounds? Did you ever hear
of one refusing postmastership. for ex-
ample, even though he knew ii was offered
because of his political activity rather than
real ability!

UNCLE SAM MUST WATCH STEP
(Newsdom)

Recent press dispatches indicate that
Europe is beginning to resemble an armed
camp Fortifications are being strung
along frontiers, citizens are being trained
more vigorously, nationalism is being
stressed to the point of chauvinism and
transportation is being laid out with view
to handling troops with greater facility
AS Frank H. Simonds suggests in his latest
book, america Faces The Next War;"
Europe is no longer in postwar but pre-
war period. He attributes this transition
mainly to the emergence of Hitler.
The fact that Europe is headed for an
other war is neither new nor encouraging.
In these days of mass production every
thing is done on a grand scale. War is no
exception. When the bugle blows most of
the Powers will be represented. But when
DER Tag" does arrive it is earnestly hoped
that the United States will be on the side
lines, an interested and neutral spectator
But we cannot remain neutral unless
we assume an isolationist policy where
European politics are concerned. AT pres
ent we have more than one foot in the de-
lirious disarmament proceedings which
idealistic and pseudo-diplomats are peren-
nially debating at Geneva. We might
withdraw immediately-even to the extent
of firing our unofficial observer whose OBJ
servations and remarks are too often con-
strued as authoritative. The European
political situation is no concern of ours If
the nationalists of Europe intend to fight
to the death let them do so. We are not
ready to commit racial suicide.
