CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July 16.
DIR. Edward H. Hume, former presi-
dent of the college of Yale-In- China,
suggested today that America bring
together the nations around the Pa
cifc to consider. as soon as war con-
ditions permit, the economic needs of
each nation, means for maintaining
political security, and methods for re-
discovering the necessity of regard for
personal and international moral
values.
To see either China or Japan crushed
would be neither just nor conducive
to peace, said DR.. Hume, who at one
time was director of the New York
Post Graduate Medical School and
Hospital, .snd who organized the hos
pital ank medical college of Yale-In-
China at Changsha.
I'VE must strive together for early
reconstruction and political stability
in the Orient, but We must also strive
for the upholding of moral order"
he said, in one of four summarizing
addresses before the final open forum
of the University of Virginia's Public
Affairs Institute.
Canon Stokes Speaks.
DR.. Anson Phelps Stokes, canon of
the Washington Cathedral, decribed
movements toward Christian unity,
throughout the world and foresaw a
united Christian church of the future,
unlike any existing church, but con-
tanning the good of all the churches
of today. ..~.
Last night at the institute Demo-
crat and Republican took turns de-
Tending and assailing the New Deal
and then sat down to hear an official
of the National Progressive Party tell
why he believes the Nation needs a
new political movement.
Principals in the triangular discus
sion were Representative David j.
Lewis, Democrat of Maryland; Rep
resentatiye Dewey Short, Republican
of Missouri, and Ralph Immel, execu-
tive director of the National Progress
sives Of America.
Mr.. Immell asserted there was no
other course for the Nation but to
form new movement upon a base
as wide as America itself-upon all
who were determined to secure and
preserve the right Of q free people
to work and by their work to add to
the wealth of the country"
Representative Lewis predicted the
new social security system, railway old
age pension system, unemployment in
surance system and other advances
would stand "for generations to come
as great attitudes in the geography Of
history"
Says Picture Is Darker,
Representative Short asserted the
national picture was darker today than
in 1888. He said that after five years
Of New Deal experimentation there
were more than $4,000, 900 persons un-
farm prices had dropped to
the lowest levels on record and the
country's railroads faced the severest
crisis in their history.
Taneo Taketa, New York manager
for the Southern Manchurian Rail-
way, expressed surprise at the insti-
tute yesterday at finding what he
termed AN utter lack of amity and
even some hostility" in the United
States toward the japanese people
in their present crisis.
Mr.. Taketa, native of Japan, said
the true objective" of the japanese
in China was to establish
a stable government which will CO.
operate with Japan, promote peace
between Japan and China, and in so
doing "liberate China's masses from
the grip Of exploitation by their
leaders,"
The section on the Far East also
heard Herbert B. Elliston, financial
editor of the Christian Science Moni-
tor, tell of British economic interests
in the Far East, which he said in
cluded $l,25o 100000 Of investments
in China.
