The progress of science depends upon many factors, and not least among these is the existence of
satisfactory arrangements for the rapid exchange of new ideas and experimental results between research
workers having similar interests. In a branch of learning that prides itself particularly upon its power of
systematization, it is surprising that in this respect so much has been left to chance and so little has been
done to formulate and follow an agreed policy appropriate to modern needs. There is, of course, no lack of
scientific literature, both books and journals: the World List of Scientific Periodicals now lists some 50,000
titles. Indeed, almost every scientist now finds it impossible to read all the words relevant to his own
subject, far less to read extensively outside it. Yet wide reading is becoming increasingly important, for it is
very frequently in the fields where several branches of science overlap that the most exciting results are
obtained.

As we reached the pavilion, a truly beautiful sight unfolded itself to the east. The vast Hebei Plain stretched
out in front of us with our beloved city, Beijing, hidden in the thick of the misty trees. It was wondrous, in a
way, to see Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, which had always been considered a great lake, appear more
like a basin of clear water, and Wanshoushan ( Longevity Hill ) and Foxiangge ( Temple of Incense to the
Buddha ) mere little artifices for flower pots. We had forgotten about the leaves although the slope higher up
was completely covered with them, yellowing and turning red. Too bad that the rain had spoiled the color,
preventing them from turning a true red. How beautiful they might otherwise have been in the sunshine!

No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen
who have just addressed the house. But different men often see the same subjects in different lights; and,
therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen, if, entertaining as I do, opinions of a
character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely, and without reserve. This is no time
for ceremony. The question before the house is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I
consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery. And in proportion to the magnitude of the
subject, ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and
fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country.
