Today's Science
by DAVID DIETZ :

"HE problem of consciousness is one of the larg-
i est and most difficult problems facing the mod
ern psychologist Every feels that ne knows what
he means by the use of the word consciousness, yet
the psychologist is at considerable loss to define
the word
Certain schools of psychology, notably the be-
haviorists, would abolish the word altogether One
wit describing the situation said that first psychol-
ogy lost its SOUL then its mind, and then its con-
seriousness, so that nothing is left but behavior.
Another suggested that the inscription, Know thy
self" which appears over the doorway OF famous
psychological laboratory be changed to read, Be
have yourself
All psychologists however, do not 90 far as
Watson and his school of behaviorists, who would
abolish the use of the word consciousness Watson
holds that there is such thing as thinking He
calls it "sub-vocal talking"-talking to yourself
under your breath. To him, thinking is just one
more method of physical behavior.
Most psychologists, however, and certainly the
newest school of "Cestalt" psychologists would dis
agree with Watson
Much of the discussion grows out of the approach
to psychology Many investigators are inclined to
regard psychology branch of physiology. Physi-
ology deals with the behavior of the human
organism.
PSYCHOLOGY and physiology must, in many
l. cases, investigate the same phenomena. 1t is inn
possible. for example, to understand psychological
phenomena without understanding of the physi-
oogy of the nervous system But many psycholo-
gists feel that there is more to psychology than the
physiology of the nervous system the reactions of
muscular tissue.
These facts are emphasized by Professor Edwin
G. Boring of Harvard university
He says: my thesis is that scientific psychology
needs than to become the physiological psy-
chology that Wundt originally called it, and that
not entirely without the means of proceeding
in this direction Psychology, it to me, needs
to save for its uses both consciousness and the
nervous system, and it must have both if it is to
survive"
TNTROSPECTION, that is, the attempt upon the
l. part of the psychologist to explore what went on
in his mental processes failed to yield salts
factory system of psychology Professor Borin says.
He would have admit that psychology is not
peculiar among the sciences that introspecton is
much method any of the other methods of OBJ
servaton, that it is method whereby on the basis
of experience we establish the existence or occur
renee OF mental realities like sensations or seen
movements or any of the other phenomenal objects
which introspection yields"

in what form they will be perpetu-

I believe, seem more important as

is the precedent, now established,

Fundamentally, it seems, the

BY this it is not meant that
Germany right now is deliberate
ly contemplating unleashing war.
On the contrary, my own inveSti-
cations in Germany convince me
she is playing for time.
But British information is that
she can strike, and decisively, if
the cards fall that way.

can constitutional system. The
change was effected because pub
lie opinion, rejecting itself in
congress, demanded prompt, de-
cisive and coherent action. It is
impossible to have action that is
prompt, decisive or coherent when
fiscal policy is worked in detail
by congressional Iogrolling. The
pork barrel, pensions, patronage
and the tariff have been subjected
to the leadership of the President.
This shift in the balance of DO
llt1cal power has taken place in
all countries which have had to
deal with the dangers and the
generalization of extreme def1a-
ton. In the countries which are
unstable politically the change has
been effected by setting up mill
tarized relationships.
In the old countries, which long
have traditions of freedom, the
change has been effected by less
violent means. But it has been
effected. In England, by the cleo
ton OF national government
with such an overwhelming ma
Iority that the party system was.
In fact, suspended. In Australia.
by a kind of coalition government
which suspended partisanShip.
y
TN all countries it was impossible
- by the ordinary processes of
government to deal with the crisis.
The normal practices produced
deadlock and paralysis in which
there was really no government
strong enough to govern. In one
way or another it became neces-
sary to concentrate the initiative
and equip it with authority.
The great difference between
the method of the free countries
and the method of the others is
that in England, France and
America the legislature has re-
linquished specific powers, but has
not relinquished the power to re-
cover its powers. Not only do the
grants of power made by congress
expire automatically, but they can
not be renewed, except by another
congress freely elected by the vot-
ers. That is why it is so mis-
leading to talk about a dictator
ship in Washington. The very es-
sence of a dictatorship is that it
can perpetuate itself as long as it
has the physical force. The Roose-
welt powers are limited strictly in
time and can be extended only by
a new congress.
THAT this congress has granted
Il the President more powers
than an executive ought to have in
normal times seems to me certain.
I can not imagine the people as
senting for long to system, for
example, under which trade asso-
Citations and a few officials make
federal laws covering whole indus
tries. Nor can I imagine all the
vast power of Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration permanently
at the discretion of officials.
Nor such vast blanket powers to
spend and to lend money The
more we come out of the depres-
sion the less tolerable such powers
will seem.
And yet 1 do not see how we
can fail to find assurance in the
knowledge that a concentration of
power is possible under our system
and that it can be effected for a
limited period of time and with
out in any way suspending the
Bill of Rights or the machinery by
which emergency powers can be

war cost $50 billion dollars. An
other like that would not only
bolshevize the entire globe, but
the victor would have for his
spoilS only a smoking shambles.
The next war; therefore, would
have to be won at a single blow.
While not much attention was
paid to the study at the time,
Germany now is believed fully
prepared, if she feels there is no
other way out, to follow this
plan.
The British cabinet, headed by
Ramsay Macdonald, accordingly
is said to be back where the cabi-
net was in 1914-immensely wor-
ried and divided over the course
to take.
1t is said to have been informed
that, in a knocked down" con-
dition and otherwise, Germany
now possesses more first line

that she has thousands of spare
motors; that her factories can
deliver 2,400 planes a month; that

mately 10000 year; that in men,
industries and material of the kind
required to wage the new form of
warfare visualized above, Germany
already has a potential advantage
over France of 5 to 2.
THE growing air menace is
l. what frightens Britain most.
She has stopped worrying so much
over the sea. She ceased to be an
island the day Bleriot flew the
channel. In thirty minutes the
sky above London could be black
with planes from the Continent.
To prevent this horror, there is
already the beginning of clamor.
But how to do it-whether by a
new European entente, G. remod-
eled League of Nations, an i'm
plemented Kellogg pact, or to
fight fire with fire by outbuilding
her neighbors-Britain does not
now seem to know.
