It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of the civilized world and of all human progress hangs upon whether we take the right or tho wrong path in dealing with the problem of the league of nations. Remember, the vision of peace by agreement and of the federation of nations has haunted the minds of men in one shape or another for countless centuries. Greek statesmen had these ideas at the end ot the Persian war, during the whole of the great Peloponnesian con test and after its conclusion, and though the cynics and the profes sors of Rcalpolitik smiled at their simplicity, thinkers and poets like Plato chose the larger hope. Once more the idea is. in ths ascendant, and minds and spirits are “finely touched” to th«M fine issues. Men of light and leading are wondering whether it may not be possible in a more enlighterffcd and more democratic age actually to do what our progenitors could dream about but never accomplish. Success or failure in this great venture must depend upon the prime object aimed at. We do not want to make the object of tho league of nations the abolition of war in the abstraet, or the erection of some mixed tribunal into whoso hands men and nations shall entrust the dearest things which they possess—their liberties, their rights, and their independence. We do not want the object of the league of nations to be the establishment of some committee or ool leetivist form of the Pax Romana which will crush all national individ uality, or will prove a kind of benignant upas-tree that will shelter everybody and yet shrivel while it shelters. We do not want the nations in their mood of humanity caused by the*horrors they have witnessed and experienced, first to rush into the extreme belief that anything is better than Avar, and then to find that they were mistaken and revert to the old and hopeless regime of armed peace. Wkal tee ask them to do, and it is all we believe it is safe for them to do, it to pledge themselves severally and jointly to insist that solemn treaties between nations shall not be treated as “scraps of paper ” but shall be strictly and honestly observed. We Avant to make contracts between nations, while they remain, the most solemn and essential things in the Avorld—something a thousandfold more sacred than contracts be tween individuals, just as the interests of the nation are a thousand fold more sacred than those of the single individuals that compose it. But though the nations of the earth must agree to think no crime greater or more despicable than the illegal repudiation of a treaty contract, whether made for some’ specific purpose or for general amity and goodwill, we must recognize that the world of nations can never be put into a straight waistcoat, that there must always be the capacity for free change and free development within tho interna tional circle. AboA’e all, we must never forget that freedom is essen tial to human happiness, and, further, that freedom to do right must involve freedom to do wrong, and that it is never possible to give man tho beneficial poAver to choose the one path Avithout taking the risk of his choosing the other. Therefore, treaties Avhich are not to prove veritable swaddling clothes, and to turn the nations into mum mies rather than free limbed human organisms, can never be per petual. They must be revocable, and revocable within a lime that will not make men despair of seeing what they will regard as an essential improvement. Thus, though treaty contracts as long as they are in existence must be maintained by the whole weight and poAver of mankind, the nations which entered into them must be able to free themselves from their contractual bonds, if they deem it essen tial to their welfare to do so, without intolerable difficulty or delay. We suggest that if mankind acting in unison shall be bound to uphold the sanctity of treaties, a year’s notice shall free any nation from its diplomatic instruments. Any recourse to arms before that year has expired, no matter what the alleged excuse, and uo matter what the merits, must be dealt Avith with the utmost sternness. But it must not be dealt Avitli by war, for that Avould mean some system of international armies and fleets and air squadrons, which, men being what they are, would open up a hopeless vista of intrigue. We must have recourse to non-intercourse as the weapon by which tho sanctity of treaties is to be upheld. We believe that compulsory dis armament, compulsory arbitration, compulsory entry into on interna tional federation, can only lead first of all to disappointment, tyr anny, and intrigue, and ultimately either to the loss of that national individuality Avhich the peoples rightly cherish, or to the breaking up of the league as a hopeless failure. Instead of all these high sounding aims, Ave desire to have the one clear obligation that nations must respect their treaty pledges. Remember that no nation Avhich was restrained from fighting for one year Avould be able to say, as it might in the ease of arbitration, that it must refuse to submit to the ruling of a court of which the judges could be alleged to be foolish, inhuman, prejudiced, bribed, or capable of acting as politicians rather than as jurists. By onr plan Ave avoid all these apparently good excuses for war. Wc avoid also the danger of the great powers being judges in their own cause, or else of having to submit issues of supreme importance to the legal representatives of the smaller nations, as the only persons procurable who could he regarded as wholly impartial. j Fighting Famine. j From the Springfield Republican. The world Is now faee to face with a a supreme struggle against famine. Mr. Hoover understates the gravity of the food situation rather than overstates It. American can be of Incalculable service to humanity during the coming year by practicing self denial and exporting its surplus of food to (he starving millions In the devastated continent of Europe. Our task In feeding our friends now in cludes that of feeding those who were our enemies. Anarchy knows no national boundaries and patriotism cannot be nourishod on an empty stomach. The north temperate zone 1s on the edge of winter. Not in many genera tions has there been In this zone so small an amount of food In proportion to the number of human beings to be fed. During the last growing season none of the allied countries In Europe produced enough to feed Its own Inhab itants for the coming yoar. Going east from Franco the situation becomes stead ily worse In this respect, until In Euro pean Kussla millions are now In danger of actual starvation berore the next crops can be grown. The salvation of the European popu lations now depends upon North and South America. Australia and even India, the land of traditional famine. Mr. Hoover estimates that North America, Including the West Indies, must send abroad at least 20,000,000 tons of food stuffs in the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1913, as compared with 11,852,000 tons In the last fiscal year and a prewar normal export of 8,030,000 tons.

If a person yawn* during a symphony concert and twists his program instead of being absorbed in classical music it may not be his fault. It muy be due to an underdeveloped pituitary body, which Is located In the brain, back of the temples. Tills is according to Cyril Scott, the I Bonn writer, in his 'The Philosophy of J Modernism in Connection With Music.” Mr. Scott says that tills pliuitarv borlv is highly susceptible to musical vibra tions, if normally developed. In other words, it is the seat of the emotions, lie goee further and adds that it is the seat of the astral or subliminal self. This is in keeping with the theory of the ancients that this gland Is tfcs seat of the soul. In commenting on Ur.

With Cunnda’8 great task In the war before the public, the burdens that she so willingly took and so ably Carried, and her recent victory In sub scribing $176,000,000 to the 6th Vic tory Bond Loan more than she asked, he would be a skeptic who would as sociate the word pessimism with her present condition. Canada deplores the heavy human loss which she has suffered, but even those akin to those lost In battle say with cheerfulness that while the sacrifice wms great, the cause was wonderful, and accept their sufferings with grace. It may well be said there is no room In Cuu nda today for the pessimist. The ag ricultural production of the country has doubled In four years. $140,000, 000 are the railway earnings today or 3>4 times what they were ten yenrs ago, while the bnnk deposits nre now $1,783,000,000 as compared with $133, 000,000 thirty yenrs ago. There Is a wonderful promise for the future. It Is with buoyancy that Canada faces on era of peace. She has tri umphed over the soul-testing erlsl9 of war. Before the war Canuda was a borrower, and expected to continue so for inuuy years. For the pnst year and a hnlf we have seen her finance her self. She has also been furnishing credits to other nations. A recent article In the “Boston Transcript” says: “The people at home have not been lugging behind the boys at the front In courage, resourcefulness and efficiency. The development of Canada’s war in dustry Is an Industrial romance of front rank. American Government of ficials can testify to the efficiency of the manufacturing plant Canada has built up in four short years. In De partment after Department where they found American Industry failed them they were able.to turn to Canada. The full story may be revealed some day." The some pnper says: “It Is a new Canada that emerges from the world war In 1918—a nation transformed from that which entered the conflict in 1614. "The war has taken from Canada a cruel toll. More than 50,000 of her bravest sons lie In soldiers’ graves In Europe. Three times that number have been more or less Incapacitated by wounds. The cost of the war In money is estimated to bo already $1,100,000,000. These are not light losses for a country of 8,000,000 people. Fortunately there Is also a credit side. Canada has found herself in this war. She has discovered not merely flic gal lantry of her soldiers, but the brains nnd capacity and efficiency of her whole people. In every branch, in arms, In Industry, In finance, she has had to measure her wits ngalnst the world, and In no case has Canada rou son to be other than gratified.”—Ad vertisement. Right in the Home.
