H. TWO PASSIONS

tcosYsIanr sois. ~ sR. pKAss GRANT

Few men have penetrated the mind of a nation not their own 50
well * James Bryce.
America re about the only writings by foreigners about our people
that show understanding enough to make them valuable either to
native or outside students of our institutions.
In recent utterance MIR. Bryce shows that he grasps the present
world problem with the same frmncss aud practically he showed in
his estimate of America.
There ae two kinds of passions that ar motovizng this war
from the side Of the democracics
There arc two kinds of passions that are motivizng tins war
by the masses. Mankind has been trained IN IT for centuries To APP
peal to II is 10 win quick II sponse.
Not only We understand it, but Germans understand il, and Jap
anese and Italians and Czecho-slovaks and Turks and everHood%'
And as far rs it goes it is sound and wholesome. Love Of one 5
native land IS as normal as a preference for one own family
The trouble with it is that it is IN danger OF becoming narrow
aud intolerant.
There is another passion which is the result of Twentieth Century
civilization, worldwide commerce, science and education, and is the
natural result of the Christian religion. II is the passion ir Human
iy, the conviction that ali men everywhere should have their rights
and Liberties as well as the men of or own race and nation
This passion is also subject to disease, rs in the ease of DehS or

This feeling is Just as eager 10 defeat aud punish the Hun as the
most ardent American or French or British patriotism II is not
peace at any price. 1t is not blind to immediate moral duties ! It's
But it goes beyond this war and seeks to end all wars in the
only possible way war can ever be ended. How it does this rs shown
in these words OF Mr. Bryce:
Germany must be y~anquishcd until the power Of the military
caste which dominates her people h. been 50 fatally d'credr''d and
But with the continued application of scientific discovery to the
methods of warfare life will be sacrificed on an even vaster scale, while
in the intervals between one war and another the cost of maintaining
huge ornaments viii be a burden beneath which people will sink IN
despair. This is what compes us to seek some plan by which poStcrlty
may be saved from ruin and misery such a. this war has brought.
Nothing but force will restrain those 10 whom Tighi Is right. Where.
Is ihe'force to be found that will suHic"'-
't can be found only IN a combination of a sufficient number of
great states materially strong. who love peace and Freedom aud viii
work honestly for both by using their united strength against any
dsturhe. of the peace. Had such a mon existed in 1914 there would
have been no war
The only hope of the world is Federation
Patriotism is good. Humanity is better Patriotism and Humanity
is best of all.
