nent question:
81 would like to know, when
(Sokolsky) considers an immi-
grant who wishes to take part
in the political life of his
adopted country q full-fedged'
American, so that I'm Mr.. Sokol-
sly's opinion he IL entitled to
make a constructive contribu-
ton TO the political life Of
our country, even though this
may not be In agreement with
Mr.. Sokolsky's political beliefs"
This is not only pertinent but
important in this era of our his
tory when Americans face an
onrushing world trend toward a
centralized. authoritarian, nom
representative statism.
A people has as much right
and surely the obligation TO
protect its particular civiliza-
ton from dilution and disin-
tegration as it has to guard its
boundaries.
Surely, when, for instance,
ii is noted that administrative
law, the juridicial basis of Con-
tinental European culture, is
being substituted for English
common law which for three
centuries of this continent pre-
served the liberties of our
people, a problem presents itself
which needs to be studied in
all its aspects.
When so ancient an Ameri-
can tradition as limited tenure
in the presidency is discarded,
when we accept the Nietzchean
doctrine of the superman. we
are substituting a European for
an American concept of life.
When we discover that the
old American concept of a
classics society living in land
not only of economic but social
opportunities is abandoned and
the wearisome European class
struggle becomes the basis for
political decision, then OBJ
ously we have moved far
from our traditions into the
hopelessness Of Europe.
True, as Mr. Roosevelt said in
defense of Sidney Hillman. we
are all descended from immi-
grants.
But il is equally true, and
that Mr.. Roosevelt did not say,
that the populations Of Europe
are being indoctrinated with
ideas which. whatever their
validity. conflict with the funda-
mentals of American tradition.
In former years, when edu-
cation was based upon the
humanities. schools did not
indoctrinate their youth politi-
cally as they do now the world
over.
Certainly when an adult,
reared and educated in Europe,

is distinctively American. comes

war in Asia as in the war In
Europe.
The Chang Kai-shek regime
was as clean and earnest as any
China has ever known when it
came into power.
II was more patriotic than
any other China had known
since the fall of the old Empire
when it took its stand against
Japan.
DO not forget that China. in
1887, was unprepared and UNI
supported by Britain and US,
save with words.
Japan would have been glad
10 give Chang Kai-shek a COM
promise that would have enabled
Japan TO attack Russia or Brit
ain or. if necessary. America,
first.
Chang turned down such a
compromise, and took upon
China the onslaught in which he
has had so little support from US.
THE Communist part in all
i this is very interesting.
You will remember that
Chang Kai-shek was kidnapped
by a Communist sympathizer,
the son of the former marshal
of Manchuria. and held until he
promised 10 lead China against
Japan, even though he felt. and
rightly, that China was not yet
ready, and that the support OF
Britain and the United States
was not certain enough.

MANY men do. One Of the

ologists have made many studies
of this question, and while exact
measurements of the amount Of
intelligence lost by war are hard
TO work out, yet il seems pretty
obvious that on the whole war
tends towards making the race
less intelligent.

Unhappy wives are more extrav-
agant than happy ones. and
more careless about lending
money. They take chances on
getting their money back that

Is the India China situation.

reason that they want Franco

There is no particular democ-

the establishment of democratic
