to the aforesaid Europeans and
Americans were very great. And
second. China had. mostly un-
noticed or disregarded. treasure
of wisdom from which the brash
Westerner could learn Gf he had
the capacity to learn.
This wisdom one uses the I'M
usual word even though it is not
quite right - does not consist IN
the erudition of the sages. the
creations of Chinese art and litera-
ture, the decorative and formal
achievements of the privileged
culture
1t consists of the knowledge OF
life and the ability to deal with 1t
in a mood of practical. philosophic
plve-and- take, in which the acct
dents of fortune - good or evil -
have little power to overwhelm or
to defeat the mind.
This wisdom is the property OF
the poorest Chinese peasant. Beset
by flood and famine and the exac-
tions Of the soldiery, thwarted by
the soil itself, he nevertheless gets
through his life with more cour-
age and gayety. and usually
with a greater store Of goods,

forests themselves vanished.
What was left was hard-work-
ing but unsurprisable rationallsm.
the philosophy of fertile plain at
the mercy of drought or flood. The
quickness and cleverness of lndl-
vidual Chinese is held within
bounds by the consciousness OF
natural limitations. just as any
ambition or desire is realistically
controlled by a knowledge of
objective conditions.
This admirable adjustment to
life is what most observers mean by
the wisdom" of China. and there
are few Westerners who could not
profit by giving some attention to 1t.
All the nervous twanging of our
upper air has made us immoderate
and fitful: our heights and depths
are extreme: our recreation and
amusement contain little repose.
Those who are preparing to go to
China now, bearing gifts, should
prepare also to receive gifts.
Although what we have to give
China is great. what we can re-
ceive is also great. 1t is clear and
fearless sense of the arduous but
enjoyable continuity of life in its
relation to nature and circum-
stance, with all its limitations and
possibilities.

 We who are gathered here today in this ancient home of liberty and order are able to meet to- gether because thousands of brave men and women have suffered and died that we may live, It is for us today, bearing in mind the great sacrifices that have been made, to prove ourselves no less courageous in approaching our great task, no less patient, no less self sacrifice ing.

 But already King George VI had set the solemn tone of the session in a speech to the chief delegates at a glittering state dinner at St. James Palace last night
 King Gives Greetings
 Tt is in your hands," he said, ito make or mar the happiness Of millions of your fellow men, and O. millions yet unborn.
 Tt is for you to lay the founda- tions of new world where such a conflict as that which lately brought our world to the verge of annihilation must never be re- peated; where men and women can find an opportunity to realize to the full the good that lies in each of them"
 Many officials, including U. 5. Secretary of State James Byrnes, expected the delegates would move smoothly through the job of or ganizing the assembly. Preliminary estimates were that the task might be completed in from three to four weeks The assembly would then adjourn to re-assemble later this year at permanent UNO head quarters in the United States.
