the Some original views on future of where expressed by Professor. Werner. Sombart, the well-known economist, in an inter- view in the Pesti Tirlap.
TOKYO, June 15th. A significant change in the senti ment of the Japanese towards Soviet Russia en be discerned to-day, the change, even though one We are, he sait, faced with a may like to regard it as being no strange paradox. War has always more than coincidental, having existed, and, in his opinion, must come about since the rupture of always exist.

r
the
Areos Rajd More Impressive Than
Chang Tao Lin's.
When the Peking raid on the Soviet Embassy took place, there were nat a few here who stuck their tongues in their checks, declaring that Marshal Chang Two Lin and the Northern militarists, threaten ed with extinction, would stoop to anything. In other words, a good number of people here resolutely refused to pay any very special credit to the Peking disclosures.
The raid on Arcos House was re- garded in quite a different light. The news of the raid caused a sen sation and people hère took it for granted that the London authorities would not sanction such measures unless the evidence it possessed was based on the best information. Later, the thorough-going manner in which Scotland Yard and the British authorities set to work made people even more convinced that the raid was based on good infor mation.
Any
Might Find Something In Japan.
No one here, even if he is a parlour Bolshevik-and there quite a few of that ilk in these Far Eastern islands-entertains. doubt about the fact that, through all Soviet Russian organizations there runs a thread of Governmental plotting against the countries in which they are situated. The usual childish story of Moscow that the documents found at Arcos House were forged is not believed.
On this point Professor Sombart He advances a bold suggestion. suggests that war will revert to the form it took in the days of chivalry, when man was measured against man, sword against sword, and courage against courage. This idea may appear unduly romantic, but it is the logical consequence of the conditions brought about by over-civilisation. Man, in general, is incomparably more intelligent to-day than he was in past cen- turies, but this is due to pedagogic. success rather than to physiological development, and it is probable that if modern man were deprived of his spiritual and material luxuries he would speedily become the hardy fighter of former times. United States Of Europe: Difficul-
basis for
ties And Objections... As to the question of a United States of Europe, Professor Som- bart says that at present the diffi- culties are so manifold that they can only in colved in theory. The only practical ing Pan-Europe is economial, but the nations which would be willing to enter into such a union would cer- tainly desire its basis to be a mili- tary one. An example of this is the League of Nations, which is only efficient m dealing with ques tions in which the interests of the contending parties are not deeply involved.
