GREAT BRITAIN AND THE EAST.

(Continued from Page 1.)

The colossal conflict between the greatest civilised Powers of, the West undoubtedly changed the alti- tude of the East towards our so- called civilisation. The extension of the war over half the habitable globe brought all men down to a Common level. What did the vaunt- ed progress of the West stand for if a four years' struggle were pos- sible at the beginning of the twen- tieth century t "Surely we can manāge our affairs as well as that.” we can imagine the Oriental say- ing. Such thoughts, while diminish- ing the respect which, however gudgingly, the East felt for the West, did not affect his attitude of mind toward European methods of administration, but rather made the Oriental feel that he was fit and ready to imitate them.

These sentiments meant, in a word, the downfall of despotism and the desire to replace it by con- stitutional and representative gov. ernment. The history of the East, has hitherto been the story of despotic power, and I am safi. ciently conservative to believe that, in the East at any rate, govern- ment by a good despot is the best. forin of rule; but the East has been stirred to its foundations by new ideals, and it now desires Western institutions, if possible without Western guidance.

one

They hope to find freedom and salvation by copying the, to them totally foreign, system of govern- ment painfully evolved over turies of struggle and debate, aa practired by the masters of whom they would be rid. To them the system is artificial, and the now situation is apt to bring to the front two types of individuals; clinging to national tradition and. abominating all that is Western, the other throwing tradition to the winds and hating only the Western-1 er, whose methods he would adopt. Many of the second type of course, desire to reduce the distance which has hitherto been so strongly felt between Asia and Europe. "It 19, however, precisely such elements. of the population whe most easily" Jose their respect for European cul- ture and are most ready to adopt ople these features of that culture. which they can employ against the European.

POSSIBLE MERGERS IN TYRE TRADE.

DEVELOPMENT'S EXPECTED

IN AMERICA.

[United Press.]

Naw Youx, Feb. 9. As a result of the fact that Mr. Cyrus Eaton has acquired control "of the Goodyear Rubber Co., Wali Street expects to see far-reaching mergers.

The first of these will probably be with the Seiberling Rubber Co., having sets of $9,000,000, and possibly the US, Rubber Co. 'in which Mr. Eaton holds 35,000 shares.

It is also pointed out that the Otis Co., a financial house in which Mr. Eaton is a partner, marketed n $60,000,000 loan for the Firestone Rubber Co, last year.

The Continental Shares Corp., which Mr. Faton controls, owns more than 21,000 shares of Fire- stone common which, in the event of completion of a combination, represents assets of $575,000,000.

Such a combination would, it is believed, prove an asset toward the stabilization of an industry which is at present hampered by fierce competition driving down prices and hurting all existing companies.

THE WOMAN'S CORNER.

HORS-D'ŒUVRES CAN BE AN

ECONOMY.

According to nil the dictionaries, dietitians, and authorities on cook ing, a hors-d'œuvre is sa "appeti- something that will "whet the sp- ser an "introduction to a meal," petite and not destroy it." Well, the fitting retort seems to be, "It all depends on the hors-d'oeuvre."

Here is the true story of a coun-. tryman (it is, perhaps, kinder not to say which country he came from) who came up to London and went into a smart restaurant for a meal. He saw on the menu "Hors'oeuvre ls," and ordered it. It happens that this particular restaurant makes a special feature of its hors d'œuvres,

52

The whole array was spread out before our countryman, who took a generous helping from each dish and thoroughly enjoyed himself. But that hors-d'œuvre, far from whetting his appetite, destroyed it entirely, so he asked for his bill, paid his 1s, and went out, per fectly satisfied!

There will be plenty of "people. who will sympathise with the coun- tryman, for I have heard them say, If only one could make a goal of hors-d'ouvre and bread and butter There's such a variety of them, and everything is so tempting that it seems a pity to have to be satisfied with just a nibble. One day I'm going to make

a special hors d'avre all for myself and just have that and nothing else for din-

'ner."
