The applicant definitely was . diagnosed as suffering from silicosis ! but the history showed that he had lung trouble ‘for a long while. Of course most of the early years mining as done under conditions of dry drilling and probably the ventilation was not up to the excellent standard of today. It was proved that the Idaho Maryland Mines in Grass Valley had no silicosis hazard and that the dust contained no harmful quantities of silica—in fact the surface dust analysis as well as those in the City of Grass Valley were aibout equal and in some cases slightly more than in the underground mine samples. The second applicant ‘had some thirty years of mining mostly in other states; only about three years having been worked in Grass Valley. The commission’s ruling in effect was that the applicant had failed to establish that the Grass Valley mines had any harmful dust exposure, It. is the consensus of opinion by the experts called to examine the working conditions at* the Idaho Maryland that the low silica content of the rock, plus the extreme moisture of the ground, plus excellent ventillation both natural and forced, plus the fact that all drilling is by wet machines, plus the fact that it has been standard practice for some .

Today it would appear that the balance is once more shifting toward Asia, and it is now up to Europe to heed the warning.”’ Although Asia is beset with a great number of movements and revival of national feeling, Dr. Lobanov-Rostovsky asserted that there is throughout a fundamental similarity of moods and fears in all these tides surging over Asia. “They also reveal a tremendous dynamic surge of energies,” he stated. “Just at the time when Europe, after the World War is sinking into dark night, tremendous ~ creative nia, who spoke recently before the fforces have beeh unleashed in Asia. Nations,which less than a century ago were awakened by western civilization, have, after a period of gratitude, turned on their ‘benefactors,’ Propelled by greed and lust of. conquest, the westerners in the second half of the nineteenth century proceeded to expand their colonial .possessions at the expense of the ancient and highly cultured Asiatic na‘tions.’’: Dr. Lobanov-Rostovsky contended that the wave of revolutions still sweeping Asia today started immed» iately after the Russian defeat at the hands of the Javanese. “From aggressive nationalism to imperialism there is but one step and this step has now been taken,” he said. “But it must be. emphasized that there is as little unity in Asia as there is in Europe.
