After tracing the caules of these great changes, he complained of the absence of patent-laws in China. He called the aeroplane “a chariot of fre"; showing what had made it possible; and explaining that it grew out of the in- vention of the steam-engine. "Take it all in all, it represents the finest thing that man, as a gregarious-animal, has ever produced." Dwelling on the opportunities offered for experiment and the new knowledge in the University, he contrasted "the larger synthesis offered to the students, with the narrow outlook of their forefathers. "It is as it a hand had been placed on the head of a thoughtful man, and had turned his eyes about from the past to the future.” He suggested that if society were properly organised there would be work, wealth, and leisure for all. The only hope for China lay in the development of the natural resources of the country. "It is for you to develop the mines, the transport faculties, the water power, the industries, und the agricultural possibilities of your country," Not the War Lords, not the politicians, but the engineers and traders of China will bring peace and prosperity to the people.
