Might b Made Stronger
To some people 1t would seem bet
ter to have agreed boldly that all the
members of b League should imme-
diately declare war on the aggressor.
The situation would thus have been
more plain, although it would not In
fact have been very different. II b
aggressor were q small country a pa
cilo blackade Womb be enough, and
other military operations by the men,
bers Of the League, or at least by those
at a distance, would not be needed,
either under the Covenant or under
an xpreSs agreement to declare wal.
II, on the other hand. the aggressor
were a large and powerful nation the
measures required by the Covenant
would practically be certain to bring
about shortly collisions and actual
war with all the principal members of
! the League There is. indeed, a dis
tinct advantage in providing for i'm
mediate declaration of war. The OBJ
ject of the sanction Is not to punish,
but to deter; and the greater the GER
tainty of meeting with an Irresistible
armed force h less the danger that

precipitate a conflict The proposed
defensive alliance of England, France
and the United States against Ger
many would have that effect.
These Critics "Ultra-Pacifists,
Other people criticize the Covenant
from h opposite standpoint. They
complain that 1t may bring US n a
war in the causes of which we are not
directly concerned, and that our young
men may be sacrificed IN foreign
quarrels. Often without being con-
scious of 1t, these critics are ultra
Ip~acifists, for they shring from using
the force necessary TO prevent war In
the world. They are like people who
should object to a police froce Great
ed to maintain order in h streets for
fear that the policemen might get
hurt. II we believe in preventing war
we must use the means necessary to
do so. We must be willing to risk
a small sacrifice to insure against a
larger one.

Different methods are In use for
keeping the supply Of electricity
steady in spite Of the varying de-

of distribution, instead Of the two
main conductors being n positive

versals taking place some hundreds Of

THE SENTIMENT OF MANKIND

Although the war is over, the effects of the war are still being
strongly felt everywhere, But upon no race or people has the cruel
hand of slaughter and oppression been laid more heavily than upon
the Jews of Europe. We here in this land Of plenty and Of UNI
bounded opportunity can hardly conceive of the suferings that
these people have gone through during the last four years. It is
because our lot is so advantageous in contrast that we should take
up the burden that is plainly ours in rendering help and relief to
the stricken world,
While there have been campaigns galore ever since the war
began, there has not been one moro worthy of our support than thai
being conducted'by the American Jewish Relief Committee for the
purpose of raising funds for the Jewish war sufferers. When the
story of the suferings Of tho Jews is told it is no wonder that the
hearts of people of all races, creeds and nationaliies are touched
The old Indian missionary expresses the sentiment of mankind
when, In sending in his contribution to the fund, he says:
"I am not a jew. 1 am a n old, worn out Christian In
dian mssionary-a Baptist Your God is my God. Your
Father, my Father. Your people are my Masters people.
Your brethren are my brethren.
"My means are small, but my heart greatly rejoices
because of this privilege Of sending the enclosed one hun
bred dollars for the relief Of the suffering and starving
Jews In Europe.
