Million Youths in World-Wide Crusade For the Promotion of Universal Peace __ (Continued From Third Page) at a strategic point in a college corridor where 6,000 students pass daily. In it each week they place some object of striking beauty, stressing its origin. ‘There is now great interest in each suc- ceeding display.

There were talks, “movies,” a Spgnish barbeque—a varicty of ingenious at- tempts to “put across” about our South American neighbors. Suggestions poured in.

We have witnessed increasingly international many of the intellectual ones made heim, the Commission for Relief in| Belgium Foundations and the National | Research Council.

Of very important evidence is this fact—that the Chinese young women n of the Chinese renais- SUNDAY sance) have ever before them that cardinal teaching of their sage Con- fuclus: “Under the sky, one family.” Western young people know that for them and eastern youth there is but one objective. Most of us catapult in and out of Washington's monumental railway sta- tion blind to the inscription chiseled across the front: “He who would bring home the wealth of the Indies must carry the wealth of the Indies with him.” Youth all over the world today is heeding this reminder. It points the way to youth's goal. Merely Historical Repetition. As we struggle toward peace we re- alize once again that it is pretty hard to make over a present generation. This need not discourage us. It is but his- torical repetition of what has gone fore. Oiten the best we do toward achieving our own aspirations is what we do in helping the next generation to start on a better way. In other words, our hope lies in helping youth in its ambitions. Fortunately our intellectual leaders realize this. There is in Europe today an organization which, because of its progress during the six years since it started, speaks to the whole intellectual world with authority. Directing it are such planetary trail blazers as Einstein, Bergson, Marie Curie, Gilbert Murr Robert Millikan. It s called the Co: STAR, mittee on Intellectual Co-operation and is one of those mnfu depending from the League of Nations to which we fearlessly attach ourselves. That it has met a universal need is proved by the fact that already the daily work that comes to it unsought is more than it can cope with, It has acquired so much moral au- thority in connection with all the prob- lems in its domain that it can readily gain the ear of governments, institu- tions and press associations, and can induce them to reply to questions and attend meetings. So we can estimate the importance of its existence to the world’s youth, in whom it believes. Student Youth to Benefit. . It would be interesting to review the activities of this body, but here we need y remind ourselves that student youth looks to it for approval and ald. In such practical matters as those of pass- ports and fees and fares, for instance, the committee was able to win victories (through the League of Nations) where the students themselves might have walted long years for concerted action, And here we may leave this army of youth. North. South, East and West they will continue their quest. We will meet them in world ports and capitals. | But while other travelers will be seeking only pleasure and information as ends in themselves, to student youth these will be but means to an end. Their unique objective is world friendship. Hawaiian School Pupils Chase Fairy Spook ‘That well known young lady who used to lean over the footlights in a Barrie lay and ask the' audience if it be- lieved in fairies would have received a unanimous and hearty “Yes!” ‘Waimea Junlor High School, Is| Hawall, in this modern year 1929. Recently just as school was “taking up” & shout resounded, “‘Catch the mene- hune!” and there ensued a mad and merry chase about the school grounds and finally into a nearby fleld. Scores of children, of various nationalities, took part and presently a number of Hawalians joined in the search. The| children declared they had seen a little | man about & foot high, with queer face | and pointed feet, scuttering through | the school grounds. This description | correctly pictures a ‘“menehune’—a Lilliputian chap from Hawaiian mythol- ogy. No hard-boiled and cold-blooded adult in these days admits having seen a menehune, but according to Hawaiian tradition the wise, brisk, gk:zurnque little people used to in- abit Hawall in large numbers, appear- ing and disappearing from mortal eyes. Around the Waimea Junior High School there is still a strong belief that a mene- hune appeared and the regret is that nobody was nimble-footed enough to overtake and capture him. 1929—P Ex-premier of China Now Plain Magistrate Dr. Tang Shao-yl, former premier of China and elder statesman of the Kuomintang, ardent republican, finds there is no better way to start on any reconstructive work than at the very bottom. With this thought in mind he has withdrawn from the political spot- light and has returned to his native village in South China to become a magistrate. “Why should a former premier want to be a magistrate?” Le asked, and promptly replied: “There is no greatness that is more worth while or more lasting than the consciousness of having done a job that ene is fitted to do and that can be carried through to a practical success. Great plan: | may be made for a whole nation, but, | real work must be done on a small scale.” Dr, Tang's village is Tongshan, in the district of Chungshan, home of the late Sun Yat-sen. In following this | new path the “grand old man"” is emu- lating the example of some of China’s former classical leaders, proving the truth of his own words to Edward Price Bell in the latter's “World Chancel- leries” when he said: “All Chinese are ! compounded of the same spiritual stuff. China’s one of spirit is not visible to the curso lance, but it is there. It is the ultimate reality {n China.
