And as President of the United States for nearly eight years he gave a larger portion of his interest to the de­ velopment o f the new navy. There is a glamor about the sea that i^perhajm far : ¡»art from its practical interest to us. The navy ought ’ o be of no more serious importance to us than the army, • r the air forces of our country. But we have to empha- »ize one thing, nqw another. Today the navy is our spec* ?al concern. And We pause for a moment also to remem- i ef the man who helped us build it. . * REE FARTHER THAN CAN THEIR COUNTRY Two thousand Chinese students storm the place of Meeting in Peking of the international tariff conference. They are repulsed, and the conference will go on, with more political theorists angry because Chink does Lot have its way. r But once more, tliere is no “ China” to have any ■'.•av. The government of China, as far as it has one, is -lie government that is attending this conference. I t ’is • <»m|»oHed of both Europeanised and conservative Ohi- i.ese. But I t does not please these students. We in America cannot imagine a group of Princeton « r Columbia students assailing the W ashington-arms conference. For the government of the United States in ome way “ represents” these students. Much as we may differ on matters, our government does repre­ sent us. China has tto possibility of government, yet to represent i t It is gradually evolving toward such a government. Bnt the students are - impatient. While one day we have such a distinguished leader o f American thought as former President H atiley of Vale lamenting the undue interference of American gov- «■rumen tai agencies , With the freedom oT American thought, we have on another such an expert observer as Editor Homhlower of the “ Theater Magazine” " pointing with approval to the British censorship on stage plays and wondering when the American people will get suf- iieient courage to eomyiel, on the stage, conformity to Urn d sasw rie e « t Uio. --------------«---- -------- — - One is almost coni|>elled to think that in Hadley one has once ijiore an expression of the academic, rather than the active point of view. Dr. Hadley does not know, in -fact, just jwhat the “ iilterferences” with American thought are. He has given too uriich attention to Ten- ao—se, with ita'Hropes trial, and too little to the broad' facts of American public life. The truth is not that we n e e d n a y more “ governmental interference,” but that we d o n e e d self restraint. If our education and culture d o e s ' not teach us to a more active assertion o f our own rights and ©p|>ortimities in art and social life, we will g » o n being namhy paraby. ■, Investigations might lie valuable if they ever did anything 1 esidea make good front page stonea. ---------- , ---------------- .
