THURSDAY EVENING,
THE ROMANCE OF
! DIAMOND CUTTING
Formerly Relieved Art Could
Only Re Learned After
Years of Work
i
It was as far back as August, 1907
, that the feasibility of diamond cut-
I ting in South Africa was first demon-
I strated, says a writer in the Johan
j nesourg, Transvaal Times. The pio
mer was A. Judlin, who, with the
I tools which he had used for ten years
in Paris as a diamond splitter, gave
n practical demonstration plain for all
i to see in a room opposite the post-
I office. Messrs. Lovine Bros, and Mr.
'He Joagh also come -i o- with prae
! tical proof ihat the industry could be
established with loiai la nor.
The difficulty wis to get the dia
monds. Geoigo Hay. then ehairman of
the Roberts Victor, induced his people
• to supply the new industry, until the
S mine was obliged to clos< down for
j '. v bile. Si the industry petered out
; because the cutters could not get
! suitable diamonds regularly at the
I proper price. The diamond mines ro
; fused to sell, and the buyir.g trust
' threw the whole oi its influence in
I the scale against
' Meanwhile the 20.0-9 irien and
I women employed cutting South Afri
i - ,n diamonds, earning wages exceed-
I ing five millions yearly, have been
tesidents of Europe and America.
And on every occasion when we
' have demanded that the men and
| women should be employed, the work
I done and the money circulated in
South Africa, lie have been told that
t could net be done. As one writer
i put it:
l "With tile great majority of those
engaged in the cutting trade, the
profession passing from father to
son, the children virtually grow up
in this atmosphere, and are trained
to their calling during comparatively
tender years."
But while commissions were report
ing that any attempt to establish the
diamond-cutting industry in South
Africa would have disastrous results
to our diamond mining, the Ameri
cans, accustomed to legislate In their
own interests, forced the establish
ment of the cutting Industry in New
Vork by means of the tariff, and soon
had the satisfaction of putting up
such headlines as: "New York suc
ceeds Amsterdam as the gem market
of the world." America is now taking
75 per cent, of the "value" of our
South African output and half that
"value" is nov. be ing taken HI RUUG.I
stones.
However, the "fairy stories." to
quote Bernard Oppenheimer, to the
effect that diamond cutting could not
be learned except by long years of
experience, and that British work
men would prove incompetent, receiv
ed their final answer from the dis
abled soldiers and sailers at Mr. Op
penheimcr's factory at Brighton.
Here, as early as October, 1917, fifty
legless men were employed, and Mr.
Oppenheimer stated that they had
"made very rapid progress at their
new trade, which was simply a mat
ter of application and intelligence
under expert direction." The results
showed thai in from three, to six
months the men would be efficient in
one or other of the grades of dia
mond cutting. So. Mr. Oppenheimer
went ahead with his scheme to es
tablish at Brighton the biggest dia
mond-cutting factory in the world,
designated to give employment to
I'OOP disabled soldiers, and in Novem
ber last year he spoke positively of
the success of the scheme.
In the course of an interview with
a representative of the London Times,
Mr. Oppenheimer dealt as follows
with the question of other factories
and similar schemes being desirable:
"i hope other merchants will follow
suit. The more competition and the
more factories started the better.
There is no limit to the number we
may train. There may hav.e to be
some weeding out: but so far the
most unlikely men are proving the
best. Many small cutting factories
have been started in London by the
Belgians since the war."
Regarding action on similar lines
in South Africa. It is clear that the
demand for. such action has become
so insistent and has reached such
proportions that the public will not
be satisfied with any measure which
does not produce results. The bill to
control the industry and to insure
supplies of rough diamonds to those
engaged in the rutting is the first
serious attempt to get over the great
difficulty—the monopoly of the dia
mond buying syndicate. Whether the
bill will insure that the local cutters
will receive their diamonds on a
"London parity of price"—and not at
the London price after sticking on
the 10 per cent, and the freight
charges—is a question which must be
tested in practice. Who is going to
decide the parity of price? The South
African cutter's success depends up
>n getting the right diamonds at the
right price. The hill aims at that,
but will the promise be kept to the
ear and broken to the heart? Cer
tainly the proposal to make all pro
ducers sell 35 per cent, of the dia
monds worn by all classes to the two
million pounds company simplifies
the position as far as that company
is concerned, because the value of
the balances must be declared for
taxation purposes at the correspond
ing value, and the government will
be In the secret of the local com
pany's deals.
An interesting phase of the prob
lem is that, whereas our 10 per cent,
export duty on the roughs is esti
mated to produce about a million of
revenue, the Americans collected
11,115.130 duty on 7." per cent, of
South Africa's output in 1917, equal
to 16 V> per cent. —which the rich pay.
The American duty is 10 per cent, on
the rough and 2c per cent, on the
cut, and cf course each cut diamond
includes the value of the cutting, etc.,
the system operating as, roughly,
12'z per cent, in favor of the uncut
stones for industry. On the 5 per cent,
basis we in South Africa were re
ceiving only f 100,000. These figures
n ay explain the fact that to-day 70
per cent, of the members of the
Cnion Parliament are pledged to sup
port such an export duty as will in
sure the es iblishment of a cutting
industry here, and why so many fear
that our present 10 per cent, is not
sufficient.

JAPANESE MIND
Beginning With Imitation of
Foreigners, by Evolution It
Is Adapted to Origination
Washington "What manner of
j folk are the Japanese?
"What sort of gods do they wor
i ship?
"What kind of laws do they
have?
"These are a few of the ques
tion the western world is asking,
'in view of the universal interest
aroused in Japan's controversy with
i China about the Shantung conces
j sion," says a bulletin front the Na
| tional Geographic Society.
Byway of reply, the bulletin
> quotes from a communication to
i the society by Baron Kentaro Kan
| eko, written before the world war
; gave rise to these controversial
! ciuestions, as follows:
"The Japanese have a peculiar
j character. When they come in con
, tact with a foreign civilization they
j always go through three stages of
| evolution. First, they pass through
J the stage of imitation. At this
j period they imitate everything that
! comes from a foreign source, and
I 1 might say that they blindly copy.
| But after some years of imitation
. they arrive at the stage of adapta-
I tion. Then, at last, they reach the
; stage of origination. These three
i stages are clearly shown by our his
| tory, if we only examine into the
j inner workings of the Japanese
j mind.
"About 1500 years ago, when we
I introduced the Chinese civilization
I into our country, we copied every
-1 thing after Chinese fashion. At
' that time we had no National alph
abet. There were some sorts of
| signs to express ideas in writing,
j and even these signs differed in
; different parts of the country. The
J Chinese had a highly developed
j type of hieroglyphics to express
their ideas. Therefore, at one time
| the Chinese hieroglyphics took such
I a hold on the mind of the Japanese
] that we adopted them as our Xa-
I tional language.
j "This period might be called the
I era of imitation. Fortunately, there
I came a scholar—the most famous
j scholar we ever had—by the name
j Mabie, who returned from China in
| 735 A. D. He was in China many
I years for his education at Chinese
| schools. When he came back he
j saw what was most needed in his
j native country, and he invented out
I of Chinese hieroglyphics the forty
' seven characters of our alphabet,
founded upon the principle of
phonetic language. As you know,
] the Japanese language is phonetic,
I whereas the Chinese is hieroglyphic.
"We have passed through three
j stages in our religion just as much
as in our literature.
"Buddhism was first introduced
into Japan through Gorea in the
j year 552 A. D. At first Buddhism
was embraced by the higher claese ~
[ particularly among scholarly circles,
: hut the lower classes or common
j people still clung to their old faith
,of Shintoism. Those who believed
' in Buddhism went so far as to copy
t the. ceremonies and ritualisms. The
I doctrine of Buddhism was written
j in the Chinese language, and the
i believers offered their prayers in
' that tongue.
"At one time Buddhism made
I such a stride as to become almost
I a state religion, but the common
: people still opposed it. with a de
termination to uphold their own
| Shintoism. Consequently a most
I terrible struggle began between the
I two religions Buddhism in the
• hands of the upper classes and
j Shintoism in the hearts of the com
j mon people. Such a contest as this
; blocked every step in Japan's prog
| ress. but finally the statesmen and
I priests began to understand thai
i they no longer could force upon the
■ people a blind imitation of Bud-
I dhism, and they changed their pol
| icy and tried to find out some means
j to meet the requirements of the
j time.
"They invented an ingenious
\ theory of explaining and interpret-
I ing the religious principle of Budd
i hism. They adapted the theory of
: Monotheism as well as Polytheism
I by saying that there is only one
; Supreme Power, which is person
i ified in the form of various gods
i and goddesses, according to the dif
| ferent countries and different insli
| tutions. Thus they reconcile the
j principle of the one Supreme Powet
' of Buddhism with the Polytheistic
j theory of Shintoism
"In order to convince the popular
i mind with this theory, Emperor
j Sliomu' patronized a movement to
! erect a large bronze statue of Dai-
I butsu or Buddha at Nara, and this
j statue was erected in 752 A. D.,
| after fourteen years in casting and
I construction.
| "In the beginning of the thir
• teenth century there was one priest
I by the name of Shinran, who is con
i sidered in our religious history as a
> Japanese Martin Luther. He revo
lutionized the fundamental princinie
of Buddhism by a new doctrine, l'or
up to that time Buddhism strenu
ously upheld a monastic life, and
the priests were compelled to live
in celibacy and abstain from eating
any animal food. But this famous
priest, seeing the popular mind al
ready turned toward Buddhism,
| started a new doctrine that a priest,
| being human, is just as much sus
ceptible as laymen, and abstinence
from human wants is against the
laws of nature; moreover, a priest
must live among the people so as to
understand the real nature and feel
ing of man and woman: therefore a
monastic life should be given up
and priests (should eat animal food
and get married, if they desire so :e
do. From this period the progress
of Buddhism with this new doctrine
was wonderful and took complete
hold of the popular mind."

when a motion picture star has to

It's like we're paying for cabbage by

but Emmy W'ehlen's latest afternoon

the Metro star, "that we're forced to

"Well then," Miss Wehlen was in
