It was in 1917 that the divorce be-

Radio to Be Medium
OF Chinese Education

SHANGHAI.-All middle schools in
China, both public and private. must
install radio receiving sets for the re-
ception of educational broadcasts by
order of the ministry Of education.
An elaborate radio education pro-
gram has been formulated by the
ministry in connection with the gov
ernment-sponsored mass education
movement. The ultimate goal is
countrywide radio network. not only
reaching schools, but mass educational
institutions in different provinces and
municipalities.
The ministry of education's radio
program was started year ago, when
1t was decreed that all middle schools
and mass educational institutes
should install receiving sets. Thus
far 1865 receiving sets are in opera
ton in schools and institutes. Be-
sides the order to middle schools, all
mass educational institutes have
been asked to install receiving sets BY

During the last few years, however,
Chinese shipping concerns controlled
by the government have attempted
to win a larger portion of caast&ise

abroad. raising standards of seaman
ship and developing new lines.
These efforts have convinced China
that she can operate merchant ma

that she cannot hope to operate 1t on
a permanently paying basis until good
ships can be built in China.
Although Chinese overseas repeat
edly have advised that China develop

adopted more tentatively in his first
term.
Other small groups asserted that an
election every four years meant more
frequent alteration of parties in power,
and that this was beneficial to the
nation; that to change the present
system would mean amending the
Constitution, and they were opposed
to that; and that more frequent elec-
tions tended to reduce graft in the
Federal administration and to stin-
ulate business.
The 60 per cent who were undecided
or had no opinion said in some cases
that it made no difference whether
the term was six or four, and in others
that they were inclined to favor a
four-year term with no reelection.

BY GASTON NERVAL.

n YEVER has the opening of an
international conference in
" the Western Hemisphere been
a marked by such great expec-
tations as will attend the meeting,
next Tuesday at Buenos Aires, of the
delegates to the Pan-American Con-
ference for the Maintenance of Peace.
President Roosevelt in person will
open the momentous parley, after a
14,000-mile trip made expressly for
the purpose, and this accounts in
part for the worldwide interest
focused on the Buenos Aires gathering
and, also, for the unprecedented en-
thusiasm displayed by the people of
Latin America.
However, the real reason for both
this enthusiasm and that interest lies
in the unusual degree of harmony
to which pan-American relations have
been brought recently, as result of
President Roosevelt's good neighbor''
policy and the changed attitude of
the State Department in several mat
ters affecting the sovereignty and
rights of Latin American countries.
Farley Will Be Different.
So many pan-American. conferences
have been held before and have ac-
complished so little that the more
skeptical might be tempted to with
hold comment until they have seen
the fruits, and have been convinced
of the fact that this one is something
different. For the student of inter-
American relations who has followed
the record of the past four years,
however, all indications are that the
Buenos Aires parley will be really
different from previous pan-Ameri-
can congresses.
The psychological moment for the
meeting, as we pointed out when it
was first suggested, could not have
been more appropriately chosen. On
the one hand. the precarious condition
of world peace, with actual warfare
in progress on two fronts and consid-
erably more serious threats looming
on the horizon, would add great sig
nificance to anything the American
Continent may do to strengthen the
ideal of organized peace and the ma
chinery to enforce it. On the other
hand, due to the radical changes in
the State Departments recent policies
toward Latin America, and even
though the people themselves may be
just as far apart today and just as
ignorant Of each other as ever, the
official relations of the Governments
of the United States with the gov
ernments of the Latin-American re-
publics are going now through a Pc
riod of exceptional harmony and good
will.
Under these circumstanceS-and no
one can tell how long they will last
several important issues suggest
themselves as topics for conference
designed to preserve and perfect the
peace machinery Of the Western Hemi-
sphere. Outstanding among them
should be the ratification and uncon-
ditional acceptance of arbitration and
conciliation treaties already signed
but seldom complied with; the estab-
lishment of a pan-American court OF
justice to settle all political and legal
disputes arising between the gov
ernments Of the American republics or
between an American government and
the citizens of another American
country; the contractual enactment
of the doctrine of non-recognition OF
territorial gains by force; the adop.
ton by all the American states Of
