Most important of the new developments, Professor Hopper believes, is the industrialization and modernization of Asia. "Formerly raw materials flowed to the already established centers of civilization, but now a new process is apparent: civilization flows out to the sources of raw materials, reversing the process by which Europe expanded. This means that the industrial revolution is rolling into Asia, where are great untapped sources of raw materials." It is interesting that private capital has proved incapable of opening these resources, he continued. Asiatic industrialism is developing largely as a state enterprise, with the resulting emphasis on military defense...
...reproductive rate in Northern Europe, the growth of new centers in Asiatic Russia, and their high general reproductive rate which is expected to increase the population in the Soviet Union from 170 millions now to 340 millions by 1975. "More than half of the world's population are in Asia and are still to be educated to consume modern industrial goods. From a purely economic point of view, America's self-interest lies in development of relations with these new industrial areas...
...horse track will be the second field extension of a laboratory to study locomotion which Dr. Schwartz has conducted in the University of Rochester Medical School since 1926. His studies of foot problems as old as Xenophon's forced inarch across Asia Minor are original enough to have earned him a gold medal from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and a bronze medal from the American Medical Association.

Turning to U. S. anthropology, Dr. Hooton pointed out that whereas Europe, Asia and Africa can point to human pre cursors hundreds of thousands of years old, a U. S. find which is alleged to be even 20,000 years old is a sensation, and doughty irreconcilables like the Smithsonian Institution's Ales Hrdlicka stand ready to assail with sledgehammer blows the validity of even that recent dating. "It is to the everlasting credit of professional American anthropology that it has not succumbed to the itch for ancestors by giving recognition to the many dubious and spurious finds whose...
Fire Over England (London Films), not to be confused with Wings Over Europe, Wings Over Ethiopia, Storm Over the Andes, Storm Over Asia, Thunder Over Mexico and Head Over Heels in Love (TIME, Feb. 22), is Elizabethan sword & cloak drama, showing how the Spanish Armada was frustrated by young Michael Ingolby (Laurence Olivier) while Queen Elizabeth (Flora Robson) was feeding porridge to doddering Lord Burleigh (Morton Selten). In a hand-to-hand combat between Michael Ingolby and Michael Strogoff, the correct odds would be even money. In addition to burning the Armada with the aid of seven men in rowboats...
