Speaking on the present Sino-Japanese war situation from first-hand information. Prof. Roderick Scott will address the weekly Phi^'ophy forum today at 4:30 p.m. in Bowne hall.
Choosing as his topic. “The Conflict of Political Ideas in the Orient.” Professor Scott will relate his views of the Oriental crisis as one who has been in contact with the war. Scott is doing graduate work at SC in philosophy, but is connected with the Fukien Christian university in China where he serves as professor of western literature and philosophy. DIFFERENCES EMPHASIZED Pointing out how historical differences have affected the present situation, he says, “Differences in the way China and Japan have reacted to western influence in respect to governmental structure is emphasized in this conflict.”
“The Japanese have taken over the western machines and luxuries. This is a result of the tight-knit totalitarian monarchy of the Japanese which makes for rapid assimilation of western ideas, but rapid acceptance tends to be superficial,” he pointed out.
AUTHOR OF TEXTS Professor Scott has written two texts. “A Logic for Living” and “The Seeker Finds.” Several articles written by him have appeared in both Chinese and American periodicals.
Commenting on the Chinese, he says, “On the side of the Chinese, we have a loose semi-democratic people and empire which is followed by a loose semi-dictatorial republic made for slow acceptance of western thought.”
