VII, China's Contribution to Civilization,* by Mr. H. J. SILCOCK
DESPITE the alleged and permanent inability of East and West to meet and be other than ' twain,' it is of little use to deny the already significant influence that China has had upon our Western culture, both in art and in literature. Then there is always the gradual percolating contribution made by the residence abroad of millions of Chinese. In considering these things
Mr. Silcock will particularly stress the bearing of China's philosophy and outlook on life upon the present struggle between the civil power and the militarists. Further, he will outline some of the valuable contributions that China may still make to the West.
