USE OF SOCIAL CUSS
REPORTED INCREASING
IN NEAR AND FAR EAST
EDINBRUGH, July 31. (/P)—T h e
Young East is rapidly adopting the
social ways of the West, delegates
from the Orient told the recent
World convention of the Women’s
Christian Temperance Union.
Speakers from temperance organi
zations of Egypt, Burma, India, Chi
na and Japan told the same story
of younger generations of peoples
with age-old traditions of abstinence
and acceticism handed down thru
religion and philosophy, making tree
use of the cocktail, champaign cup
and stronger drinks at social junc
tions.
Flora Hanna, a youthful delegate
from Cairo, described the Egyptian
people as a race of “traditional pro
hibitionists,” asserting that they
have no national beverage. Young
men of Egypt, however, are taking
to western drinks along with western
ways, she said. She detailed temper
ance work since its inauguration in
Cairo in 3922. Last year 7,000 Egyp
tian women presented a petition to
the British government asking for
prohibition.
The Burmese people, according to
Miss Mae Butt, delegate from Burma,
should be prohibitionists by the
teachings of Buddhism. Foreign
drinks are increasingly used at so
cial functions in Burma, she said.
She attributed the increase of crime
in Burma to increased consumption
of alcoholic beverages, other than
today, the native drink.
Miss Asa Matsuoka of Tokio, a
student at the University of Penn
sylvania, testified to increasing use
of western drinks among young Jap
anese. There is a counter temper
ance movement growing up in Jap
an, however, she told the convention.
“I am a student, an unfinished pro
duct,” she said in broken English.
‘‘But 1 am the fact which proves
that young Japan is taking an ac
tive interest and is moving up in
the work.”
The situation in China was ex
plained by Christine Tinling, paid
organizer for the World W. C. T. U.,
who recently returned from temper
ance work there. She asserted that
there was a growing sentiment
among educated young Chinese that
they must be able bo drink western
beverages to prove their educations.

Dane Criticises Government
for Privilege to MacMillan
COPENHAGEN, July 31. (£>)—The
Danish explorer, Peter Freuchen,
launches a violent newspaper attack
on the Danish government for per
mitting the American explorer, Mac
Millan, to search the ruins of Viking
homesteads in Greenland on terms
hitherto refused to highly reputed
Danish explorers.
Freuchen winds up his attack by
saying that While Amundsen re
mained unheard from, any attempt
at saving him—even by MacMillan
—might have been tolerated, but
now that Amundsen is safe there is
no reason to grant MacMillan any
facilities.
