OBSTRUCTIVE ELEMENT
In all human society there is the
ivell-known constructive element, the
squally well-known destructive ele
ment, but not so much attention is
given to the obstructive element
which stubbornly opposes the other
two.

BRAIN OF MAN
By PROF. W. W. WATTS
British Scientist.
OF ALL the wonders of the
universe of which we have
present knowledge, from the elec
tron to the atom, from the virus and
bacillus to the oak and the elephant,
from the tiniest meteor to the most
magnificent nebula, surely there is
nothing to surpass the brain of man.
An Instrument capable of controlling
every thought and action of the human
body, the most Intricate and efficient
piece of mechanism ever devised; of
piercing the secrets and defining the
laws of nature; of recording and re
calling every adventure of the Indi
vidual from his cradle to his grave;
of inspiring or of ruling great masses
of mankind; of producing all the gems
of speech and song, of poetry and art,
that adorn the world, all the thoughts
of philosophy and all the triumphs of
imagination and insight: it is indeed
the greatest marvel of all.
NO DICTATORSHIP
By DR. FRANK P. GRAHAM
President, North Carolina University.
THE farmers and industrial
workers have enough inter
ests in common and enough pow
er in combination to prevent a Fascist
dictatorship. For a communist dic
tatorship there appears less chance,
even with a change from the tradition
al attitude of the American workers.
The farmers and the urban middle
class overwhelmingly outweigh the pro
letariat, who are apt to recede in eco
nomic power before the technological
advance.
Whether either dictatorship is soon
to attempt to rear its head in America
depends on the developments of the
New Deal and other resolute and intel
ligent readjustments of our Constitu
tional federal republic to the needs of
both modern democracy and industrial
society.
PLANNED ECONOMY
By BERTRAND H. SNELL
Representative From New York.
THE well-defined purpose of
all the important New Deal
legislation since the inauguration
of the President has been to eliminate
the element of private resourcefulness
and to have the government assume
the functions heretofore carried on by
private enterprise and exercised by the
individual.
That legislation, collectively known
as “planned economy,” attempts to
place a whole people in lock-step and
deny to the individual the right to ex
ercise his own judgment and resource
fulness in the management of his own
business, farm or factory.
It would reduce every citizen to the
status of an automaton —taking orders
from a government bureaucrat, neither
elected by nor accountable to the peo
ple.
ETHIOPIA FOR PROGRESS
By DR. AZAT MARTIN
Ethiopian Minister to Britain.
IF WORSE comes to worse
Ethiopians would much prefer
being under the just and consid
erate administration of Britain than
that of Italy.
Let us have peace for 20 years, and
a loan of £20,000,000 to enable us to
open schools all over Abyssinia and I
assure you we will be as advanced at
the end of that time as any nation
could desire. Mussolini seems to think
the best way to civilize and educate
us is to kill most of us. We differ from
him.
If Italians must have a colony why
don’t they go bravely and take one
from those who have them to spare?
They can’t have Ethiopia.
WAR IN AFRICA
By GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
English Writer, Philosopher.
PACIFISTS will exclaim against
the horrors of war. Diplomatists
will rush about between embas
sies and Geneva assuring us they are
doing their utmost to secure observ
ance of the covenant consistent with
the Interests of their respective na
tions. But the Interest obtainable on
capital, now a drug on the market, will
double; industries will make big
profits.
Banks will flourish. The heaps of
dead in Ethiopia will not Inconveni
ence the owners of heaps of money
now on deposit at 1 per cent and hun
gering for 5. I have not forgotten how
the South African war Improved my
own financial situation.
BOYCOTT URGED
By WILLIAM GREEN
President, American Federation
of Labor.
JN BEHALF of the American
Federation of Labor I repeat
its official protest against the
most recent action of the Hitler gov
ernment.
Surely the governing nations which
make up the civilized world cannot
longer remain indifferent to the action
of a tyrant such as Hitler, to his ex
celling in brutality and fiendish perse
cution the rulers of a bygone pagan
age. *
The time has arrived when Germany
ought to be boycotted, not only by la
bor and its friends, but by all the
people of the United States.

Tale* Told bv a Traveler Possessing
a Good Memory.
PART ONE
S. S. Duchess of Bedford
Scotland Bound.
IN THE year 1931, encouraged
by Arthur Bartlett Maurice, I
was induced to undertake, with
him for collaborator, the writing
of “The Caliph of Bagdad: The
Life of O. Henry,” with whom,
jointly, we had maintained an in
timate association during ten years of
his lifetime. I repaid Arthur by al
lowing him to do all of the research
and a major share of the actual writ
ing.
And now who should turn up among
the passengers on this Canadian Pa
cific liner but my old book-bunkle,
stocked as usual with interesting mem
ories of the writer folk gathered dur
ing his long editorship of “The Book
man.” A casual reference to Rudyard
Kipling set him in motion like a foot
racer aquiver for the crack of the
starting gun.
“I saw the great man but once,”
said he. “That would be in 1920, in
his country home at Bateman’s Bur
wash, Sussex, where I spent the day
with him. At the Players club a few
months prior, Booth Tarkington and I,
discussing Kipling, came to the con
clusion that physically, at least, he
was in the sere and yellow, ‘a wizened
little man living in retirement,’ as
Tark put it. I, too, visualized him as
just that. What a misconception of
the true Rudyard. He was anything
but. Youth is the one word that de
scribes him. Garbed in knickerbock
ers, pulling at a briar, eyes spark
ling, body erect, not a wrinkle in his
face, vibrating with energy, and giv
ing every evidence of exuberance and
explosive vitality. He quite bowled me
over. I hastened, the next day, to noti
fy Tarkington of our error. Not even
Theodore Roosevelt, in his prime as a
talker, could have stopped Kipling once
he got under way. Brilliant, buoyant,
spontaneous, he kept up an incessant
fire, addressing himself always to
themes of current importance and mu
tual interest. ‘Honor bright,’ he said
at the outset, ‘whatever we talk about
is between ourselves.’ For that reason
I may not quote him even now, after
15 years.
Tells of Tarkington.
“Speaking of Booth Tarkington; ohe
of the outstanding figures of our own
country, destined with the accumulat
ing years to attain a stature that will
place him among America’s immortals.
A great novelist, a great Individual, a
profound scholar, who is perhaps one
of the world’s greatest letter writers,
as those fortunate enough to be in
coqimunication witli him can testify,
Tarkington will ever remain*a colos
sal figure on the horizon of our lit
erature. It is regrettable that his
epistles, written in lead pencil oh
sheets of yellow paper and decorated
with illustrations, have not found their
way into print. Some day. perhaps—.
May I quote one sentence from thou
sands equally descriptive. ‘Switzerland
is a boarding house infested by moun
tains.’ There is but one such as
Tark.”
“And the bane of my life is that
I never met, or even saw him.”
“What!” exclaimed Maurice, leaping
from his steamer chair; “shame Upon
you, after traveling 700,000 miles to
have never come upon Booth Tark
ington. Where in God’s name have you
been?”
“Probably elsewhere when the In
dianian was about town,” I confessed
with regret.
Frenchman Honors Lewis.
“Which reminds me of the time,”
continued Maurice, returning to his
theine, “when on a visit to the hotel
quarters of my friend Bill Grant, in
Paris, Maurice de Kobra, the French
author, strolled In and declared his
intention to leave the following day
for New York for the single purpose
of calling upon ‘the man I consider
the greatest of American novelists —
Sinclair Lewis.’ At that I stepped to
the telephone and asked for a connec
tion with the apartment on the next
floor below. ‘Hello, Red 1 . . . Are yon
engaged? . . . Well, then, slip up to
Grant’s apartment and meet Maurice
de Kobra, who Is sailing tomorrow on
the France that he may give you the
once over in New York. Good. Hustle.’
In a few moments Lewis, no little
bewildered by my message, stalked in
to Grant’s suite, there to meet for the
first time the impatient De Kobra.”
“Quite,” I admitted. “Mayhap Booth
Tarkington is occupying a room on
the promenade deck of the Duchess of
Bedford. Give Nm a ring, Arthur.”
But the tale spinner went right on
with his recollections. “Years ago, with
Ned Dodd, her American publisher,”
he resumed, “I made a formal call on
Beatrice Harridan at her London res
idence. As befits such an occasion con
siderable small talk ensued. When we
arose to depart the authoress of ‘Ships
That Pass in the Night’ turned to me
and bestowed the British accolade with
the observation that I spoke with a
pronounced English accent, whereas
Dodd parlayed a la Americano. And
then, disturbed that she had made a
faux pas, cried, ‘Oh, Mr. Ned, I have
flattered Mr. Maurice, and hurt your
feelings.' Both of us spilled our sepa
rate English and Yankee laughter.
Miss Beatrice was quite shocked.”
