President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing will be urged by the hO cicty to foster the project. The Orientnlists feel this country's trade in the Far East suffers because of the lack of knowledge in this country of Oriental languages. Although unable to be piescut at the tymposium, William Phillips, nssistant ecretary of state, sent n statement to the society expressing his hearty ap proval of the plan. "The lack of knowledge of Oriental languages on the part of Americans is not merely n simple nnd negative hand icap to American business nnd to the permanency of all kinds of American Influence on those countries," Mr. Phillips's message read. "It doubles the effectiveness of our great competi tors by making, it easier and more natural for Oriental countries to'deal with them than witli Us," it continued. State Department Interested Thercfoie the State Department is deeply interested in encouraging the study of Oriental languages in this country, bclieveing that our relations with Oriental countries will be lastly benefited thereby, and that many in ternational problems which now seem difficult of adjustment will no longer be problems when discussed in the light of mutual understanding. The depart ment wouid welcome the establishment of 8ucbn school as is now contemplated, nnd would send to it embrjo diplomatic nnd consular officers who are at present forced to undergo their schooling in Eastern capltnls." This nntion has a lesponsibility in the Near I'nst at once scientific nnd politi cal, declared Professor James Henry Breasted, of the L'uiversity of Chicago. Piofcssor Breasted, who is a noted -entnlist, said the political rcsponsi- ty is in assisting in the goerument r of Turkey. The other duty is In re covering the lost chapters in the human career which are buried in the Old World. Letter from Ilnnisay He quoted n recent letter from Sir William Itamsay, the great Asia Minor J explorer, In which the writer said: "I havo nlwajs been much Inclined to be lieve In harnessing America to this bus iness (of governing Turkey). 1 should like to see the administration of Turkey put into the hands of an advisory board consisting of men who know something about the toutitrj. its history, and its future possibilities.
