Every woman will appreciate what the league is attempting to do for all of us and for our country. Please phone Mrs. Frank France, Wilmette 1768, for luncheon reservations. Speaker Tells Club of Finding Deep . Seated Bitterness in Orient Against OccidentJosef Hall, professionally known as Upton Close, was the speaker at the meeting of the Wilmette Woman's dub held Wednesday evening, February 15. Mr. Hall, a recognized authority on Asian affairs, for many years traveling as a journalist studying conditions, and the author of several standard books, chose as his subject "The Revolt of Asia." He outlined the prevailing unrest throughout the Asiatic world, starting with Japan where civilization has advanced so rapidly the last thirty years, making her an acknowledged leader in affairs of the Orient. The Japanese resent keenly America's attitude toward immigration and some day when their affiliations become still stronger they will exert pressure, he stated. China is torn by factions of which the nationalist party is the strongest. The recent conflict with the bolshevists has arrested the driving power of the party, but has by no means destroyed it, the speaker pointed out. China must inevitably emerge as a great world force, and because of the ruthlessness of westerners in forcing special privileges for themselves upon the Chinese, there exists intense hatred and bitterness against them, Mr. Hall declared. This resentment is deep seated and general throughout the Orient, he thinks. Ghandhi of India, whose individual influence, according to the speaker, is greater and exerted over more people than any other living man. says the rule of the foreigner is bound to cease even though the country may pay for it in lack of material advantages. The feeling is growin~ to such resistless streni!'th, it must inevitably prevail. eventually, the speaker stated. In Egypt, when the natives look toward their citadel, where in former days they prayed, now they spit, for it is occupied by troops of the hated English, Mr. Hall remarked. In the Philippines the distrust of the promises of the United States and the constant delays in carrying them out makes the natives increasingly bitter, he feels. The trend of these movements cannot be diverted, and the sooner westerners realize the inevitableness of the outcome the better for the peace of the world, is Mr. Hall's opinion. The talk was one that provoked much thought. Miss Helen Mendenhall gave a group of songs, part of which were Russian. Hinton G.
