Chinese Minister Urges Sympa
thetic Understanding to
Promote Good Will.
CONTRASTS NATIVE TRAITS
Strongly commending the
friendly relations that have ex
isted between his own China and
the United States, Chinese Min
ister to the United States Sao
Ke Alfred Sze urged "sympa
thetic understanding of the true
significance of facts" as the es
sential factor of international
good will.
That China's civilization dif
fers in many respects from that
of other nations was the conclu
sion Dr. bze drew alter he
had pointed out the fact that the

tially different to that of the Oc
cidental that it employs a differ
ent logic or reasoning process.
Chinese Characteristic
After he had cited many of
he peculiar differences between
his people and those of the west
ern world, Dr. Sze indicated
major political characteristic of
the Chinese people to disregard
the government as the most im
portant part of their lives.
"Thus it is that a westerner is
apt to gain a distorted idea as to
what is the situation in China
when he reads in the newspapers
of civil strifes, and T;he lack of
complete coercive control by the
central government over certain
portions of China's vast area."
Some Objectionable Relations

Soule Says Present
Structure Is Doomed
Offers as Alternatives Return to
Laissez Faire or Forward .
Move to Socialism.
ADVOCATES FREE TRADE
George Soule, editor of the
New Republic and .Weil lecturer
for 1935, brought to a close the
third Institute on Human Rela
tions in Memorial hall last night
by outlining to the small audi
ence that braved inclement
weather to hear him, his plan for
a socialistic state based on the
principle of production for
abundance.
The noted lecturer and author
pointed out that our most con
servative economists that the
present system has brought
about inequality, and very few
would or could preserve the pres
ent structure.
Offers Alternatives
The two alternatives, Soule
stated, are a return to the prin
ciples of laissez-faire, or, a for
ward motion to socialism. He
dwelt at length upon the alleged
fact that the success of the laissez-faire
principle depends upon
the competition between small
units, with each unit at the mer
cy of the existing market, and
no one unit large enough to con
trol or influence it.
The almost unsurmountable
difficulty in bringing about a
system of this type lies in the
problem of adjusting and main
taining units of a size so that
they would not restrain the mar
ket to their own advantage. If
such a system were adopted, he
claimed, we must retrace our
steps during the last 75 years of
progress, go back to the stage
coach and the village carriage

PROPHESIES "DARK AGE
A near-capacity audience in
Memorial hall yesterday heard
Norman Thomas, in a farewell
public address, declare that the
future held no hope for the stu
dents of today unless they learn
to think together in terms of
loyalty to a new order.
Thomas began his speech by
condemning the fulfillment of
the plans originally made for thd
New Deal. After claiming that
he was an admirer of President
Roosevelt's campaign plans and
promises, the Socialist chieftain
deplored the manifestation of
the program in the NRA. "The
tendency in the NRA is regi
mentation and a trend toward
Fascism," he charged.
More Millionaires
Pointing to an alleged 50 per
cent increase in millionaires
since the inauguration of the
New Deal, Thomas assailed the
ii i r .
Diue eagie as a oira oi prey,
even if painted blue." He likened
the blue color of our renovated
national emblem to the tint pro
duced by rigor mortis.
Thomas attacked the adminis
tration for stepping in to at
tempt to aid a "doomed price and
profit system." The onlysolu-
