Much Water is Flowing.

At this stage one must leave the thread of the main story to touch on other manifestations of Westernism, such as air speed. But it is patent that the air is full of change and rumours of change. While invention marches ahead, while machines of all sorts grow better and better, the cry of discontent with the distribution of wealth, with the whole working of the economic-industrial system, refuses to die down. The world is marching to a new international outlook, of which the Hoover moratorium is one sign. It is marching also to a new structure of social relationship within each country. There was never a stream of events more puzzling than that of August-September. A rapid flowing stream it is, full of interest and possibility.
