South Africans Regard
King as Their George l

JOHANNESBURG. South Africa
With its population more than so per
cent Dutch, South Africa does not
evince the same enthusiasm for the
Union Jack and British institutions
as does Canada and the other British
dominions Now the South Africans
propose to go just little distance
farther on the road to complete ma
tionalism.
The new development hinges on
the theory that the British crown is
divisible and that the King Of the
United Kindom is also King of the
Union of South Africa, but as George
of South Africa and not as George v
of the United Kingdom. From that
basis all things come easily to DR..
Daniel F. Malan and his supporters,
who are the chief protagonists OF
this theory. and incidentally the most
powerful political unit in South Africa
at the moment.
Thus it Is argued that If George
v of the United Kingdom were at
war it would not necessarily mean
that George I of South Africa would
be similarly involved, although he
would actually be one and the same
person. In fact. to stretch the theory
to its fullest extent, George v of the
United Kingdom might even be at
war with George I of South Africa.
The supporters of this theory quote
chapter and verse in that from George
to George III it frequently hap
pened that Britain was at war, while
Hanover, with the same King, re-
manned at peace

Science May Need Guide


During the period science will be de-
throned and imprisoned.
The ultimate rule of science NAV
easily be interrupted for centuries if
science continues to have the defects
of the conqueror. The skillful ruler
strives to relate his rule to the hopes,
aspirations, emotions and sentiments
OF his people. The wise ruler seeks
balance, which includes stability as
well as progress, knowing that pro-
greSS is conditioned on stability"
Wallace Makes Prophecy.
Another prophecy of what may hap
pen if science fails to guide its course
along paths that will lessen-instead
of increasing-our present difficulties
was offered at the Boston meeting by
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace.
1T is difficult to see how the engi-
neer and the scientist can much
longer preserve a complete isolation
from the economic and social world
about them" he declared. "A world
motivated by economic individualism
has repeatedly brought us to the edge
of the abyss and this last time pos
sibly came within hairs breadth of
plunging over. Yet science all this
time has been creating another world
and another civilization that simply
must be motivated by some social pur-
pose if civilization is to endure.
Science and engineering will destroy
themselves and the civilization of
which they are part unless there is
built up a bridge of consciousness
which is as real and definite in meet
ing social problems as the engineer
displays when he builds a bridge"
And what changes could be made?
Some means of lessening chronological
nemployment-the replacement of
men by machines-is needed. 1t
comes about because applied science
devotes intensive research to discov-
ering more efficient ways of making
things 1t does not follow, however,
that we ought to build all our roads
with many men and hand shovels in
stead of with fewer men and steam
shovels. No, machines in industry re-
move so many of the drudgery jobs, as
Prof Robert A. Millikan, the Nobel
Prize scientist, recently pointed out,
that they should be retained If man
wishes to maintain his advances from
primitive methods.
Dean Donham offers alternative
means Of avoiding chronological un-
employment. He would have applied
science devote its energies to develop
ing new products and new things in
stead of finding new ways or pro-
cesses of making the old things we
already have. The former can de-
crease unemployment; the latter can
increase it-and as a matter of fact
already has done so.
New products do not necessarily
mean new and more "gadgets." A

some kind Of equilibrium and bal
ance between France and Germany,
not to speak of other nations. But
on what principle is that equilibrium
and balance TO rest?
The first point to consider is the
view which has obtained such a wide
currency among the pacifists in Eng
land and in the United States. Let
us take the military clauses of the
peace treaties as the standard to
which all the European armies ought
to conform and everything will go
we'll! This opinion does not resist
close examination. 1t would mean.
indeed, that the military training of
the youth and the fabrication of war
material would be cut down to very
low level in peace time. Heavy ar
tillery, tanks, machine guns and mill
tary aviation would be outlawed. In
short, preparations for war would be
kept strictly within the compass of
what is generally required to main
Cain internal order.
Well arrangements Of that descrip-
ton could not fail to rebound to the
Evening star., 1934-04-22

the contradictions of interests and the
paradoxes Of the problem have been
put in stronger relief than ever.
This is an attempt to define the
essential features of those contradic-
tions of interests and paradoxes which
are now the despair of European
diplomats and may we'll bring about
the bankruptcy of postwar European
diplomacy.
Let us recall, first, that the pur-
pose of the negotiations is to secure
the practical application of the five
power declaration of December IL.
1882, whereby equal rights" were
promised to Germany and the other
defeated and "disarmed" states, pro-
vided they should be enforced as part
of system Of general security-that
is, provided the change should not
unduly weaken the territorial and po-
litical order of things now in exist
ence This is self contradictory
proposition, it may be said In prac-
tice no treaty of disarmament would
prove acceptable that did not create

tcrians to see the causes of
the critical times from which
i the world is just recovering in
better perspective than can
those of us who have lived through it.
However. it is safe to predict that
the responsibilities of science and en-
gineering progress for the 1888
debacle will not be neglected in
their surveys.
It cannot be denied that science
and scientific applications have con-
tributed to our woes, but they are not
the sole scapegoatS that some critics
would like to make them. Science is
neither wholely blameless nor COM
pletely at fault. 1t is bad for sci
entists to say that all would be right
with the world today if scientific dis
coveries. had not been exploited in
harmful ways: and it Is just as bad
to maintain that there should be
holiday for science-a moratorium on
discovery-until the world catches up
with the social impact of discoveries
already made.
Admitting that science and its ap-
plicationS are at least partially re-
sponsible for what has happened, 1t
may we'll be asked if science is to 60
on in its old ways, creating new
things and improved methods that
eventually may help to precipitate
another crisis. Is there not some
way out? Cannot science-if 1t
chooses-motivate its discoveries so
their social impact and consequences
will be lessened for the world that
must absorb them?
Sciences Duty to Change.
Science not only can do this--it is
sciences duty to change its former
methods, Dean Wallace B. Donham of
the Harvard Graduate School of
Business Administration told scientists
at the Boston meeting OF the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement
of Science.
1T is the responsibility of science"
he said, ito minimize the difficulties
it imposes on social science and ad-
ministration. The direction which
increase of knowledge shall take is OF
first importance, and a large part of
| that problem of direction is within
the control of science. Workers in
natural science have almost unlimited
fields from which they may choose
where to direct their abilities. At
best they will add new social stresses,
but at best, also, they may relieve
great social problems and simplify
the tasks both of students of society
and of practical administrators.

lines of attack. Thereby they may

Such is the position OF France

-dE problem of disarmament was
practically taken out of the
Geneva forum last October
i when Germany withdrew from
the conference and from the
League. Since then it has become the
subject of direct negotiations between
the principal powers concerned. The
expectation was entertained by some
few public men very few indeedD that
the difficulties which block the ad-
vance toward general solution might
be overcome by more confidential and
elastic methods than the discussions
in the headquarters of the League.
In consequence, memoranda have
