L} l i i { i | » GGG Cin - IMPERIAL POLICY Says Whites Must Clear Jungles of World il Natives Fail » Willlamstown, Mass.,, Aug. 24.—Sir Edward Grigg, {n his final lecture he- fore the Institute of Politics last night, defended British imperialism and lauded the work of such empire builders as Rhodes, Clive and Warren Hastings, Pred ng that the United States would be compelled by the force of events to become more and more im- perialistic in the future, he minimized the doctrine ot self-determination for backward peoples, and declared that imperialism was necessary to the world in its spread of trade, law nnvl‘: order and peace. He called imper- ialism “the greatest power in the world today." The lecturer traced the growth of modern British imperialism from the time of the American Revolution and the Industrial Revolution in England, which concentrated the main forces of England on the overseas expansion of industry and commerce. While the United States was able to expand across a continent to fill the needs of its population, he went on, England had to go across the sems. He remarked that the Americans had made short work of the Indian tribes that stood in the way of their ex- pansion, but that the problem had grown! more complex for the English. In this problem, he declared, the English had been actuated not oply by their own material needs but by a sense of duty to backward peoples. He said that this combination of motives was best exemplified in the lives of the empire builders like Rhodes. whose work has changed Rhodesia in Central Africa from “a savage jungle forty years ago to a prosperous and progressive self-governing colony Replying to charges that have been made during th® session of the Insti- tute that Rhodes had established a secret society to brink back the Unit- ed States as a Britsh colony, Sir Ed- ward said that when a youth of 24 * Rhodes had made a will looking to that end, but it was only a boyish dream. In his final will Rhodes es- tablished the Rhodes scholarship for Americans for the sake of furthering understanding between the English- speaking peoples. U. S, Policy of Fxpansion, Our annexation of the Hawaiian Islands, the Philippines and Porto Rico, and our special relations with €uba, he said, were other examples of American imperialism. Again, he gaid, we were “very rightly now re- sisting the right of the Cubans to self-determination in the matter of a lottery.” Qur acquisition - of the Panama Canal Zone, the building of the canal and its fortifications, he went of, #howed the necessity and wisdom of perialism. 4 These examples, he said, ivery form of infringement on self- ‘determination known to British im- perialism. Britain had gone further afield with its, imperialism and had dealt with it on a larger scale, he gaid, but the principle was the same @s in American imperialism. {1 "1 do not know how economic riv- @iry is to be prevented from cmbroil- g the civilized nations, if any more large areas of the world fall out of the hormal procession of production and exchange,” he said. “There is only one safeguard against that dan-| ger, and its name is imperialism.” At present, he said, the demand of civilized nations for a “safe and ade-| quate share of raw materials and| markets,” plus the nationalist and racial demands of backward commun- ities for self-determination, were | bringing the need of international regulation to the front. “Civilization must in self-preserva- | covered LITTLE TOTS’ ALL WOOL SWEATERS $1.98 Coat style, with belt, Blue, Brown and Buff.

The| principle of self-determination will| sweep the world into a new chaos of competition, if these laws are not ob- | served.” X | The moral code by which imperial- | ism would be justified, Sir Kdward said, was this: | “That where self-government is| withheld, the government which takes| its place must aim steadily and sin- cerily at building up the moral fabric| of self-government as a trustce re- sponsible for a world. The American example has done much to secure ac- ceptance of this article in the code by the rest of the world, and Amer- ica is right.” British In India Clive and Hastings in their develop- ment of India, he said, also showed that the mere purpose of commerclal exploitation was subordinated to ‘“some greater humane and civilizing purpose.” The ifmperfalism of these empire builders, he saild, was something mom.I than “the overseas expression of European economic civilization,” as William 8. Culbertson of the tariff commission defined it at a round table conference. Analyzing the criticism of those who oppose imperialism both in Eng- land and the United States, Sir Ed- ward started with the objection that imperialism infringed the rights of peoples regardless of how civilized they may be. “This view,” he went on “has taken new life in a modern phrase ‘the right of self-determination.’ It is certainly true that imperialism infringes the principle of self-determination in backward communities. If that be a sufficient count against it the world must read the funeral service over it, and take to some other creed. “If the principle admits of no ex- ception, it must mean that any com- munity, however incompetent for managing its own affairs and however small in proportion to the world, is entitled to go its own way at whatever cost to its neighbors, and thus to defy the opinion and retard the progress of humanity in general.” Pointing out that the United States | + had answered this question in prac- William S.

In the Civif War, he said, the South claimed the right of self-determina tion, but the north refused to allow the claim, and war was the result Self-determination had to be set aside, he said when it came into conflict with broader ideas of freedom. Regarding our treatment of the In- dians, he said, we had dispossessed them because their land was neces- sary to supply food, raw material and power to our growing population, while the Indians were making no ef fective use of it. “There was no .self-determination for the Indian,” he added. *“You im- posed your will upon him and the world has never questioned your right to do so.” ARBOUR SUES FOR $500.

TRANSLATES BIBLE IN SIMPLE ENGLISH Dr. Goodspeed Completes Work| - 0f Three and One-Hal Years | Chicago, Aug. 24.—An American translation of the New 'Testament from the original Greek, and done in a simple, modern but vigorous style of English intended to be understand- able to the average American reader, has just beeén completed by Dr. Edgar J. Goodspeed, chairman of the New | Testament department of the Univer- | sity of Chicago. Dr. Goodspeed de- voted three and one-half years to the | task. Dr. Goodspeed explained that the New Testament was “not written in | classic Greek, nor the ‘Biblical Greek' of the Greek version of the Old Tes- tament, not even in the literary Greek of its day, but in the common lan- guage of everyday life, and that he therefore had sought to put his trans- {iation in the everydgy language of American life. “1 bave undertaken to determine | what each writer of the New Testa- ment meant to say,” he c/\':rzunue\i,l The Season’s First Showing of New Fall Dresses $14.95 — $19.95 These new Fall Dresses of Satin-faced Canton Crepe, plain Canton Crepe, Charmeuse, Brocaded and Matalassed Canton Crepes and Satin are really beautiful—many have the new style innovations which are individual in the suggestion of bustle, panel and pleat effects. state in the Union, Rhode Island, but no gover- at Atlantic City.
