Naive OptImists,

"Six months ago there was another
outburst Of optimism as naive as
though the world were still living in the
sentimental era of glass exhibitions.
Since then there has opened another
era of political earthquakes and con-
flagrations, and the area of disturb
ance continues to extend. Before the
Tripoli problem has been safely liquid
ated or the peace of the Balkans is as
sured, we have the outburst in China
Of an insurrection which may change
the face Of the far east and give an
incalculable increase of force to all
the impulses set moving by the tri-
umph Of Japan. All we can be certain
Of in the region of world politics is
that nothing is certain. Do we need
further lessons to convince us that
the peace Of civilization is founded
upon the crust of a volcano?" asks
the London Observer.
