The political and m ilitary hews ftam China
varies strangely from the business news. For years
that vast country has been in the throes o f a civil
war. An imperial dynasty has been sw ept away.
The most populous, nation on earth has turned
democratic. F irst there has been revolution, then
rebel leaders fighting among themselves and drag
ging millions into the scope o f th eif warfare. Yet,
as an American observer remarks;
“ Meanwhile business in the Orient is hut little
affected, and the ease w ith which a nation of $450,-
000,000 pepole is adjusting itself to ah epoch-mak
ing revolution is astonishing.’’
It would be more astonishing if Chinese society
were organized like our own, which depends much
ou government.
Our organization is primarily political.
We
put government first, and give it large powers over
our economic and social activities.
The Chinese have little political aptitude or
interest. In most o f their industrial, nnTn morin al
and social activities they pay little attention to
governm ent Industry and trade haye th eir own
laws and sanctions. Fam ilies and communities are
governed largely by custom and tradition.
Local rulers may wield power, but the national
government, where its hand is felt, is regarded un
usually as an interloper. The Chinaman considers
governmental authority or taxes as a necessary huis-
anee, pays what he is forced, to pay and does what
he is forced to do, and goes his owfi w ay. Bthriness
proceeds almost regard less‘o f pblitical successions,
elections and wars. Citizens shrug th eir shoulders at
A World, Center
W hether the League o t Natiòns grows qt de
clines az a world ihfluèrice, it is evident that Geneva,
the seat of the League, Is destined to be & great
international center. Indeed, facts published by the
municipal authorities of that city show that it has
already become such.
Including th0 League of Nations, the Inter
national Labor Bureau and the International Red
Cross Society, there are now 47 important interna
tional organizations m aintaining their permanent
headquarters at Geneva.
Henceforth this develòpnieàt iriày be etpCcted to
proceed from its own momentum. The inert fact
of having so many world institutions installed there,
with all the facilities they provide for obtaining
information and exchanging opinion about inter
national affairs, tends to bring other organizations,
and to increase the usefulness of those already set
tled there. •
Thus Geneva is becoming to the modern wqrld
what Olympia, where the historic games were held,
and where * all nations were on an equal fooling,
was to the ancient Greek world.
It may seem a pity that this fortune should
not have come to The Hague, where so many efforts
were made to establish an international center.
But in many ways Geneva seems preferable to the
Dutch city for this purpose. It is a more attractive
place, in a beautiful setting o f mountains and waters,
with a more stim ulating climate than H olland’s,
and is farthur from the great centers of population
that might wield too much nationalistic influence.
Geneva, quiet, charming and remote, a little
world by itself, seems well adapted for the develop
ment of a new spirit, if such a spirit may be devel
oped anywhere.
