Fritz Kunz, Sydney, Australia, writes: "More and more one becomes impressed with the fact that in the American Univer- sities not nearly enough is done to bring home to people the necessity for study of Asia and her problems in a spirit of sym- pathy and reality. One visualizes a vast procession of sturdy young men and women winding in and out of the uni- versity as the years slide along, concerned with learning to make a living in larger proportion than they are concerned with learning to live. They pass on and become -America, our United States, a generous people, an enterprising race, with many merits, but too well fed, too remote from the Universal Life, the deeps of Nature, and their own Over-Souls. In the result they go on to add to western materialism. "Meantime the spiritual East awakens to modern life. It finds itself throttled by narrow views by western force, by ar- rogance. If l!ndia and China awaken as Japan did, to grasp our western instru- ments of force, we shall have only our- selves to thank, we white people. "Now competent Indians, widely trav- eled, tell me that the United States is the one country which has sufficient intuition and brotherhood to understand the sub- jective nature of Eastern peoples. -What are we doing to educate our youth to -ful- fill the function of Interpreter? Very lit- tle. Professor Ross visits India, and I hope impresses not only his students but also a large public with the nature of the struggle that goes on there. That is good, but how much more remains to be done! "I think that if our sleek, strong, generous, brotherly and ingenious stu- dents could be touched with a spirit of the World-soul, if the intuitions could be stimulated' just a little along lines of international problems, the United States would do for the world what she alone can do: make that gesture which would prove to the East that in spite of all its com- mercialism and its materialism, the West includes one great Nation which has not forgotten (since 186o) that all men are brothers; and that not only the American but the whole human race has rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." 273
