LIMITATIONS or ARBITPATyoy

Mr.. Bryce's phlosophc reflections upon what
might have been If the American colonies had
not seeded from the British Empire contain in
addition TO their academic interestSa certain
vital and pertinent suggestion concerning the
matter which has just been much TO the fore
and which presumably will be again considered
authortatively two months hence at The Hague
TO wit the proposed universal substitution Of
arbitration for war For the questions instantly
arise Could arbitration have been substituted
for that first Of our wars? And, If so. what
would have been the result? To the first a neg
ative answer will generally be given. for the
reason that that was a domestic and not a
foreign war, and no nation can be expected TO
admit alien cOunsels or dictaton to its domes-
tic affairs. Nor could Cancellation have avaiIed
between America and England without alien in
terference, for it was certainly tried to the very
uttermost limits by the wisest and most peace
loving statesmen of the day As to the second
question, there is reason TO doubt whether an
impartial arbitrator could have been found
which would not have required the colonies to
submit TO the impositiOns against which they
were protesting, and such n result would
scarcely have been for the good of either party.
for England needed the moral awakening which
the loss OF her colonies caused her as much as
the colonies needed relief from their grievances
Similar observations are to be made upon our
Civil War. 1t was purely domestic matter In
which alien Intervention, however benevolent.
could not have been permitted without abroga-
tion of Onr national sovereignty. In consenting
10 arbitrate with the COnfederacy as with n
political peer the United States would have sur
rendered its whole case. Moreover, considering
the sentiments OF the principal EurOpean gov
ernments toward America at that time If is
doubtful If any arbitrator could have been
agreed upon which would not as a foregone
conclusion. have decided against the Union, n
result which certainly would not have been
for the good OF this nation or OF the world
Again. in the case OF the South American wars
for Independence. Spain could not have agreed
TO alien arbitration in what was a purely do
mestic matter, any more than the Versailles GOV
ernment could in the suppression OF the Paris
commune or the German government i'm its re-
cent llottentot war, or the Mexican republicans
in the overthrow Of MaXimilian's exotic emDire
In some such cases there has been foreign inter
vention, but il has been forcibe and against the
will OF a. least one OF the beIligerents. as was

our own in Cuba in 1898 It seems necessary,
then to recognize the practical imposslDillty OF
applying arbitration to all quarrels, even If the
points of 'hOnOr and integrity" be waived, ana
we have no doubt that this will be realized Dy
the peaceInakers who gather at The Hague ana
that they accordingly will avoid compromising
desirable and precious principle by seeking TO
apply it bindly and too widely.
Happily there are not wanting equally clear
examples Of the beneficent applicability of arbi-
tration or Of cOnciatory negotiations. Time
was when the Venezuela boundary dispute might
have caused war with some unreasOnlng '54 40
or fight" spirit in the saddle. But sane and
masterful men Oh both sides saw the matter
could be adiudicated without detriment 10 the
honor" on either side. and they realized that 1t
would be mOnstrous to fight over boundary
which nobody was able TO define Time was, too,
when the panic mad deeds of Russian captains
on sfhe DOgger' Bank would have caused war.
Bat the congress at The Hague had been held
and Great Britain and Russia had agreed not TO
act precipitately but to take time in any NINA
tory emergency for calm second thought and
for investigation and ascertanment Of the facts,
and therefore, there was no war. In that sin
gle incident the utility of the congress at The
Hague was demonstrated and the cost of hold
ing it was repaid q million times. Arbitration
may-we believe it must-alwayS have its lin
itations and cOncIliation of any kind may some
times fail but at least deliberatiOn should he
always appropriately applicable. The nation
which is most resolute for going ahead can al
ways afford TO make sure first that it is right
and to give others time to realize that it is right
Nemesis was slow OF foot, but her progress was
none the less sure, and her attainment of her
end was none the less inevitable.

COLLEGE CYNICS

To many men who still fOndly look back upon
their four care-free college years with the rosy
glasses of reminscence, the remarks made by
James II. Garfield, Secretary of the Interior
last Friday ut the Alpha Delta Phi BANQUET will
come as an unpleasant surprise. Mr. Garfield
said that unfortunately the college life OF To-
day is not the life that opens to the young man
'those ideas Of what he must stand for when
'he goes out into the world. The college man.
'of to-day becomes imbued with cynicism and
believes that the day of opportunity is passed"
These words contrast so violently with the truth
about college students lin our day. that MANY
elders will question their accuracy Not so
very long ago "sOphOmorical erudtion" and
senior complacency' were accurate word pict-
ures of the campus animal. The college man
used 10 look sereney upon the outside world:
he used TO gloat over it as an easy prey. count
ing iOyfuly the days and weeks that brought
him nearer to his entrance into that barbarian
society Of several million men and women who
were only waiting TO bow down TO him ador-
ingly. Has all this passed? Has the philosophy
New-York tribune., 1907-04-21

of disilIusIonment spread through the dormitories
and fraternity houses, breeding a new race OF
cynics? Alas! Mr.. Garfield is probably right.
But he has not told the whole story. When
he remarked that the college man looks TOO
much to the present and too little TO the future
Mr.. Garfield summed up in single charge
against the student what should have been
dozen indictments against society, parents and
educators The college mans cynicism is partly
due to n natural change in his ideas of the
world but more largely to the artif1ciaIty OF
collegiate life Every boy upon discovering that
dollars do not grow wild on bushes suffers
slight attack Of cynicism and scOrns the mrO-
mantle world of debit and credit. But college
cynicism is nowadays more than this. II a
cynic is a sneering faultfnder OstentatiOusly de-
spising the good things Of life, it may prove un-
fair to apply the term too strictly TO the col
legiap for his faultfindlng and contempt, snowy
though they may be- are not always grOundless.
And even when they arc, he is not wholly to
blame for his attitude. The college man has
been spofled by well meaning friends in hun
dred ways He has been taught to think the
college world high and mighty aristOcracy
BY the mere passing of an entrance examination
he Is admitted to this aristOcracy. Once In he
is petted and pampered at every turn of his
cuffs He is exempted from responsibilities
without being energetically informed that he is
expected to build up his own character ny
means OF a would-be liberal scheme of elective
studies he is enabled to slide through college
with little effort, and, should Heaven grant him
an easygoing teacher, with still less. The
young man is bred In an artificial world whose
artifcialities he soon learns. He may then we'll
grow cynical over the bluff" and laundering
incapacity he sees about him. and dOubly pessi-
mistic over his future, for which his college has
not trained him. If he thinks the day of Oppor-
tunity has passed let us blame him a little for
ignorance and impetuOsity, but his parents and
teachers a good deal for cOddling the poor fel-
low into state Of social incapacity.
