He was also district attorney of Suffolk County for a short period, and was for some years Democratic county chairman.

That is why we know nothing about their origins. No one can explain why the culture of Japan around 1509 A. D. was dit.» ferent {tom that out contemporane- ous England. Man is a constant in the sense that he is physiologically the same as he was 50,000 years ago. But many cultures have come and gone in that period. Culture cannot be explained in terms of environment. ‘She climate, fauna. *topography and min- eral resources of Central Europe have remained the some for com- turles, but the culture of the region has changed. Professor White sees nothing for it but to éxplain culture in terms’ or culture. Culture is therefore like a stream. “The culture of today is but the cross section of this stream at the present moment, ihe resultant of the age-old process of interaction. selection, rejection and accumulm tion that has preceded us,” is his verdict. All this being so, there seems little hope of world. peace. To Pro White wars are not caused. by ignor- ance. They are, he says, “struggles between social organisms, called nations, for survival, struggles for the possession and use of the re- sources of the earth.\ We can no more hope to abolish war by under-- standing this struggle. he maintains, than we can alter the tides by un- derstanding them. ’ We cannot cnange our ideas about social evils or anything else in our culture by education, and this be- cause education is part of our cul- ture, a means of transmitting cul~ ture. But this is no reason for pessimism. We can't help striving to improve ourselves and our social environment. »‘‘But what one strives for and how his effort is expressed is determined by his culture.” One group may deny the reality of sick- ness and attribute even bacterial infections to states of mind; to an- other group. sickness is real, for which reason it develops medicine as a science. It is the culture that determines what we strive for. We cannot control the course of culture. but we can predict that course, says Professor White. If We can prove that so long as there are sovereign nations there will be wars, some popular . delusions on war will lose support. Cultures will have to change by some mys- terious process not yet understood before we can abolish war and gel rid of our taboos.——-March 28; New York Times. EAST I-MMPTOII LUMBER ARE GOAL B0.
