Challenge Of The Far East Discussed By Lord Snell
Lord Snell in Geneva Park near Orillia described the Far East challenge to Western civilization as the most serious yet, citing Eastern resentment at Western domination and a rising sense of strength. He warned Japan's aims in China, urged maintaining China’s integrity, and suggested options including a Singapore fleet, US-Japan cooperation, or Western unity to shape Pacific peace. He noted Japan’s strength masks deep financial troubles and mused on possible Chinese identity assimilation.

Theory of Western trade implied by ancient glass beads
London University historian Dr C G Selingman argues against the view that the East began civilization and the West is modern. Glass beads found in Silchester and Loyang date to 100 to 200 BC, with beads similar in design and chemistry suggesting Western production. By the third century BC the West had influenced Chinese glassmaking.
