Of China's in the air. and I
Am back again in old Shanghai.
I've sailed across the Yellow-Sea
And up the tawny-gold Yangtse,
Where Chinese junks with tattered sails
Bring back to mind romantic tales
Of corsairs, looting, drinking rum'
Stealing gold and opium.
Fancy climbs a stairs of jade
Etched across my mind, maid
AS lovely as pale moonstone
Shining in an emperor's throne
Porcelains veined like waxen flesh,
Filmy silks, a gossamer mesh

Crinning Buddhas nod and bow
From temples where prayer papers burn
And Joss is smouldering in an urn
Of rusty bronze in gold facades-

TWISTING tortuous streets see,

Shaven heads and naked loins.

Beggar priest in mumbled prayer
Sing-song girls with painted faces,
Aloof and cold as soapstone vases.

With gay intrigue, with passions breath,
With fortune, plattude or death

perhaps it is the symbol of justice we see
in this picture. Sitting nobly with ledger in arm
on a mass of baled cotton, Jewels, sword
sheathed, and gold coins In the distance, as
though doubtful as to whether it should unfurl

tion arises in the minds of many of US as to
whether or not this Goddess is blind-also are
tempted to wonder at the book she holds in
her arm. It must be, If this record is true that
it holds history of men of courage, rather
than auditors account of the wealth of the
nations
The wealth of nation is men--not things
And If these men have not courage and honour
and nobility then we are indeed poor nation
though our treasury be bulging with gold and
silver. Though our banks statements command
the attention of the entire world and our fields
await rich harvest
The will to succeed, the determination to do
right and the capacity to love are the qualities
which will make this nation COR indeed any
nation) leader in world affairs The United
States today is greatly in need of the dauntless
heroism of our Lincolns. and Washingtons-men
who were fearless enough to stand for that
which they thought right-men who dared defy
public opinion in order that the weaker ones OF
the country might be protected by laws insur-
ing their right to happiness. They were COM
pletely selfless in their enactment of public
for the freedom of thought which gives every
man a right to his own opinions.
Lincoln lost his life in this attempt which
reminds me of modern slang expression They
shot men like Lincoln and let fools live. 1t is
more than phrase for the reason that unfor-
tunately, we have been given to destroying the
nobler expressions and preserving material pos
sessions. That a mans Importance and his
standing in a community should be judged by
his material wealth is situation which has
brought about the chaos and confusion OF the
day. Perhaps this chaos and confusion is
reflection of mass selishness-a reflection OF
men who have pawned their souls for wealth
If we were more concerned with the building
of schools and hospitals and libraries than we
are with the acquisition of money We would
find the youth of the nation with higher STAN
dards of living, finer morals, greater capacity
for affection healthier minds and bodies.
Material wealth means much, but material
wealth will never take the place of men-at

INTELLIGENCE YOU CAN GET MONEY
