Bow|es Takes Charue
0f0PA as Brown Goes
Without Stating Plans

The Office of Price Admins
tration shifted bosses SO quietly
today that 1t very nearly an
swered the retiring administra-
tors spoken prayer to take the
beleaguered agency off the front
pages.
Prentiss Brown, former Senator
from Michigan, resigned after 10
months as OPA chief. saying he be-
lieved price control was working and
was appreciated by the public.
That was an implied tribute to
his hand-picked general manager,
Chester Bowles, New York advertis-
ing man, who virtually has run the
agency for four months. Mr.. Bowles
is expected to be nominated by
President Roosevelt as Mr.. Brown s
+ successor, meantime continuing as
the No. l man..
Followed Mandate Of Congress.
Mr.. Bowles, with a background Of
practical business experience, gained
support in Congress from the start
Of his tenure and did himself no
harm by following a congressional
mandate in naming businessmen to
key positions in OPA.
Mr.. Bowles soon will learn how
well he has met the lawmakers de-
mands by the way they greet his
expected fight for subsidies for con-
troll of prices.
Subsidized price control was a
stumbling block in Congress for both
Mr. Brown and Leon Henderson, the
first OPA head whose regime was
stormy from the outset.
Mr.. BoWles has had a free hand
under Mr.. Brown and proceeded to
decentrallze the agency's operations.
delegatlng more authority to re-
gional and district Offices and giving
local boards much new responsible
ity.
He abolished OPA's legal division
and assigned small number of
lawyers as counsel under direction
OF the chiefs of other departments,
contending many violations were a
result of Observation-Disclosures
malice.
Left Town Quietly.
With Mr.. Browns resignation,
three Of his top aides also will leave,
OPA sources said. These are former
Senator Clyde L. Herring of Iowa,
senior assistant to the administra-
tor: Ronald Seeley, special assist
ant, and George Burke, OPA general
counsel.
Mr.. Brown left Washington yes
terday without disclosing his future
plans. There has been speculatio
that Mr.. Roosevelt might offer him
another assignment, possibly a place
on the Federal Reserve Board.
Mr.. Brown was a banker and
lawyer in St. 1gnace, Mich. before
election to Congress. His defeat last
fall in his campaign for reelection
to the Senate was attributed by
friends to detection of the farm
vote as a result of Mr.. Browns
championship of administration
price policies opposed by some or
ganized farm groups.
Although saying OPA has been
successful, Mr.. Brown told the
President that two big legislative
hurdles lie ahead of it. These are
the question Of continuing subsidies
and the question of continuing the
agencys life, due under present
legislation to expire July l.

Both parties might make threatening gestures,

TN PREVIOUS comment, | noted that
| division of opinion was becoming apparent
as to the place of China in the world of the
future.
The heads of the United Nations have
made public no definite policy, nut it is posi-
bic that British and American opinion will
shortly split between those who feel that
China can be trusted TO fulfill the obligations
of a great state and those who feel that she
cannot.
What indications do we find in the history
of China that would prompt US 10 come 10
one or the other of these conclusions?
What have been some of the concepts in
Chinese life that should help to throw light
on her conduct in the future
7 GAINED my first impressions of China
| more than 40 years ago, while that coun-
try was still under the rule of Manchu
emperors. after she had suffered some crush
ing defeats and lay under the servitudes of
unequal treaties and when her government
had almost disappeared from any effective
participation in the affairs of common life.
Ny first impressions of China were that
here was a vast people, so practiced in social
life so old in its experience of human be-
havior. that although it had once shown war
like propensties and developed some great
soldiers it had come TO the conclusion that
war and violence did not pay.
The Chinese people perhaps had come
nearer TO realizing practical paciism than any
other people in history.
They also had learned to dispense with
governmental authority and with coercion.
They had ceased to believe in the necessity Of
centralized government. There was a singular
lack of public administration and of regi-
mentation.
REMEMBER the amazement felt on my
| first visit to the great city of Canton.
Here at the head of the delta of the
Si-kiang. or West River, was An enormous and
ancient city.
The camor of its streets, the noise Of It's
activity and the shouting OF its moving masses
could be heard from distance as one ap-
preached the city on one of the little vessels
that travcrsed the narrow waterways Of that
famous delta.
Its narrow streets were crammed with
moving iostling, arguing busy crowds, but
one could walk for miles through this
tumultuous civic commotion and never see a
policeman or a gendarme or 4 soldier.
Once in a while. in the narrow passage
ways which traversed the city, one would
come 10 the gate of ward.
Here might be browsing one or two tat
tered constables or warriors but they aid
nothing. They were mere Vestiges Of au-
thorty.
The usual controversies that send western
peoples into courts of law were in China set
tied by argument or compromise between the
dispuants, or they were settled by family
or clan.
n they were Of commercial character,
they fell 10 the judicial action of the HONG
