judice is purely centrifugal and it
must be overcome, or it is a danger
to the "center of rest" which is the
life Of the family, the home state,
and individual.
Warning internal elements are
even more ravaging than external
wars. TO avoid both these, conglom-
crate nations must seek to inculcate
lnternational-m -mindedness in their
leaders as well as their peoples. To
gain this concept we must learn to
measure each group from the point
OF view of their own standard rather
than from one outside and foreign to
them.
We shall never be able to explain
away the vast differences which
make races so diametrically opposite
in their ideas, standards, culture
but we must realize these differences
as valuable, and be glad that they
exist for the sake of their peculiar
contribution to the whole.
AS one feels regret to see the love
ly (and oft unlovely) customs and
costumes Of the provinces disappear,
so We might almost regret to feel
that this amalgamating process Is
going to rob us of the manifold
facets Of the solitaire of civilization
each Of which adds its sclntillations
to the intensive whole.
The intcrndtionalist holds that
there is place in the world for The
peculiar contribution of all these
races and sub-races. The one vital
question we must answer is how are
we going to bring about the con
sciousness which will allow all these
diverging elements to live and to let
live-to keep them from hampering
and hindcTing one another from
criticising and ridiculing back and
forth and help them to live together
as fellow -partakers in the vast good
which is bound to come to each
when civilization declares her diVi-
dends.
OF course time Will do all this; but
that is the very argument which
should make us all eager to, have 1t
