GAINS QUESTION

The spectacle of two men, whose
duty IL was to pump air to diver
who had gone down in fifty feet of
water to work, leaving their posts
to engage in a fight, and in doing
so permitting the diver to almost
suffocate, furnishes food for thought.
IT fraises the question whether we
allyin chickering's and quarrels with
eadh other are not Jeopardizing some
one else. While we are engaged in
fighting out some grievance with an
other, there is probably some per-
son who is suffering the consequences
of our having left our post to engage
in the combat. The day for the rec
ognition of the universal brotherhood
of man is probably and apparently
far distant, but we are drifting to-
ward II faster than ever before in
the history OF this country and great
er strides are expected within the
future. The nations are gradually
coming TO the point. There are
many rumors of war, but very few
wars. The nations are recognizing
that more is lost in war than is
gained over and above what would lie
gained by arbitration, no matter how
powerful the nation may be and no
matter how weak the opponent may
be. 1t is time that as nations and
as individuals We were considering
the rights OF others while we are
venting our spleen In some grievanee
either real or fancied.

In response to question as to why
he had refused to allow the Brazilian

In conclusion President Castro
twice repeated that Venezuela desired
peace and harmony with France and
the other powers, but declared en-
phatically that peace and harmony
were dependent upon others as well as
Venezuela.
