sition, If statesmen did not get to-
gether and tell each other what

The problem in Europe today
seems to be whether this spirit Of
give and take, and these educational
assemblies can operate upon the
minds and the statesmen sufficiently
rapidly to enable them to master
the disagreemsnts and disputes
which the world inherited from the
war. The race Is between under
standing, common sense, ana Iae
selfishness and hate sown during
the war and at the peace confer
ence. A few examples may indicate
which will win the race.

Ireland, being for the moment

England than at any time in recent
years because both the Sim Fein

peace is nearer at hand than six
months ago because Russia wants
to trade with England, and the

the necessity for it is greater tnam

In Germany there may be another
hitch. 1t is easy to predict revolu-

Mostly Word Storms
But the most encouraging factor
is. that il one looks closely into ali
of the storms brewing today, one
will find they are mostly. word
storms and threats of war. There
is some lighting with arms, ou.
more fighting with language. with
the amount of the latter constantly
increasing while ammunition for the
former is rapidly decreasing.
While prophecies are always dan
gerous, it seems to your correspond
ent that so long as the world today
manufactures more talk than it
does ammunition. as long as the
word factories produce and the war
establishment close, the nearer the
world gets to peace and order.
The world production Of opinion
today far exceeds the world produc-
