Sign Posts
"Where are we?" anrnutomobllist
Iroquently will ask in passing

. The reason for the question. with
the consequent loss of prestige to the

Age of Brotherhood
By CHESTER H. ROWELh.
"The men of the four seas are all
brothers." id Confucius; but
sometimes it seems doubtful whether
the world has found it out.
Confucius himself was Chinese;
Buddha was a brown man of India:
Jesus ‘wss a Jew.
Any one of them would have dif-
ficulty getting by the immigration of-
ficer of the port of New York. and
none of them. if perchance he en-
tered the city. would be eligible to
membership in its better clubs. The
age of brotherhood is not yet.
Yet there are corners of the earth
where some beginnings of the broth
erhood of races have been made.
Witness a Chinese dinner recently
attended in Honolulu.
The host, Dr. Dai Yen Chang. is a
cultivated Amercisn gentlemen of
Chinese race. and his wife a gracious
lady of the same sort. The guests. a
number of distinguished Chinese
from the Orient. the elite of local
Chinese society, and a number of
American visitors.
The talk is gossip of American and
European universities. stories of
travel. personal repartee. and touch-
es of the greater things of many
lands.
Oneof the guests. James Y. C.
Yen. is the head of perhaps the most
stupendous educational enterprise in
the history of the human race—the
mass education of literally hundreds
of millions of people, from six to 60
years old. to transform a whole race
from illiteracy to literacy. almost
over night. ‘
To do this it was necessary. first
to devise a simplified Chinese writ-
ten language. and then to standard-
ize a method of teaching it in 96 les-
sons and enlist a. whole army oi
teachers and enthuse a whole nation
of pupils.
In a few years the newspaper read-
ing public of hithertoilliterate China
will be four timcsthst of the United
States and much more than that of
all Europe.
Other guests were almost as dis-
linguished: the leaders of the renais-
sance of China. The lady the writer
takes out to dinner is a Wellesley
graduate. and an honor to her coir
lcge.
These are the representatives of
a people which provincial America
thinks of as a race of laundrymen.
They shew a fine pride of race. and
are only amused at Causasian de-
lusions of superiority.
Ont- of them, a world traveler.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 7.-—Wltere
North American salesmanship falls
down in South America is in trying
to make South Americans accept
what North Americans think they
ought to want instead of offering
them what they really do want.
Europeans don't make this mis-
take. They study South American
tastes and adapt their goods and
methods to them.
0 O
Look. says Director General Lee 8.
Rowe of the Pan-American Union.
at the L‘nitod States' failure to sell
the Monroe Dectrine to the South
Americans. though it might. easily
be so presented as to "win their con-
fidence" instead of “arousing their
distrust." as it does.
And look. edds‘Dr. Rowe. at Eu-
rops'l success in selling them. the
League of Nations. which "has de-
velOped in the Latin-American re-
publics a much greater conscious-
ness of individuality and power.”
0 O 0
That illustrates the difference.
South Americans always hate reo-
ogntzed the Monroe Docti-ine's value
to them as a guarantee of the strong
protection of the United States, but
they also always have been a little
suspicious of it as possibly amount-
ing to what the United States might
some time consider a warrant to in-
terfere in their affairs.
That is to say. as a Pan-Ameri-
can Joint understanding. they liked
the doctrine; as a purely North Am-
erican policy. they regarded it ask-
ance. .
Then the League of Nations began
to take shape. It looked as if the
United States would Join it.
"Will the league supersede the
Monroe Docti'ine?" asked the
South Americans anxiously. "If h.
what becomes of the North Ameri-
can protection we've enjoyed 2'"
All their suspicions of the doctrine
vanished. Threatened with its loss.
they remembered only what it had
Diplomatic Blunder Is But One of Many
didn't join the league they were
much relieved.
The United States had South Am-
erica sold on the Monroe Doctrine
right then. without an effort on the
farmer's own part, which is about
the only way the United States ever
does sell anything in South America.
Just at this point the then secre-
tary of state, Charles Evans J-iughes.
took occasion to state that the doc-
trine was exclusively North Amor-
lca's and nobody else's—-thst it was
also exclusively in North America‘s
interest and anybody else's only in-
cidentally—that it was immaterial
whether the South Americans liked
it or not—it was none of their busi-
ness.
That spoiled everything. It re-
awakened all the South Americans'
original suspicions. only this time
they had ceased to harbor them as
mere suspicions—they considered
that Secretary Hughes had confirm-
ed them. in their worst form. And
straightway they went to tying them-
selves as tightly ss they could to the
League of Nations.
0 O 0
"Nothing." as Dr. Rowe truthfully
remarks. “could beworse than this
country's policy of isolation from
Europe on one hand, and from Lat-
in-American on the other. by reason
of the latterjs affiliation with thel
league."
it constitutes, in fact. something
in the nature of a defensive alliance
of the Latin-American states
against North America—with the
League of Nations backing them. A
nice situation between the United
States and a group of republics she
has so enormous an interest in being
on the best possible terms with!
O O 0
It's a situation which. of course.
wouldn’t be permitted to develop
and drift along if more men in pub.
lic positions in the United States
knew the least thing about Latin-
Americs. It‘s a blessing when some-
body like Dr. Rowe calls attention
to it. "

The Last Frontier
By DAVID DIET!
The scientist is sometimes accused
of lacking faith. Yet in some ways
the scientist has far greater faith
than many other classes of people.
For the scientist believes absolute-
ly in the existence of many things
which he has never seen. Some of
these things. he is even willing ti
tell you. he never expects to see.
He believes in the existence of
molecules. atoms. electrons. vita.
mines and harmones. Yet he has
never seen any of them. And it is
only the last two that he ever or
pecls to see.
The scientist behaves that all sub-
stances are composed of molecules.
which in turn are composed. of the
atoms of the chemical elements. and
that these in turn are merely com-
binations of electrons.
Despite the fact that no micro-
scope cgild ever reveal these things.
the sole tist is positive of his state.
meht. That is because all the actions
of chemical combination. light. heat.
x-rsy and radium lead him to be-
lieve these things exist. ‘
These phenomena can be explain-
ed satisfactorily upon the basis of the
existence of aoleoulaa'latoins and
electrons and upon as other theory.
The scientist is also able to per-
form experiments in which certain
results can only be. explained on the
basis that an individual molecule.
atom or electron was concerned In

man or a photographue. '

“The scientist has bones of m, . .
vitamines and harmones one of these

Vitamines are the substances sup.
posed to exist in certain foods and
which are necessary in the diet to
preserve hhslth.
Harmones are the substances
which are poured into the blood by
the ductless glands. Those seem
necusary to preserve the normal
balance of the human system.
The scientist has been able to pre-
psre extracts which he knows from
their actions on animals contain
slight amounts of either vitaminos
or harmones.
He believes it only \' matter of]
