Better Days for Europe

Benar Laws dramatic unhorsing
Of Lloyd George as Coalition Pre-
raier through speech at the Carlton
Club caucus had an immediate and
tranquillizing effect on European
politics. It came at the height of
Franco British tension over Turkey
and greatly relaxed that tension,
The Conservative victory, which
tolds out hope Of five years of
moderation and nop-sensationalism
in British foreign policy, has further
steadied the European situation. 1t
raay even presage real Anglo
French Italian concert to pacify the
Near East and TO collect German
reparations.
It is as necessary as ever for
Great Britain, France and Italy TO
work together to put Europe on its
teet. The signing Of the Versailles
treaty did not end the ere of CO.
operation. Lloyd George seemed to
think that it did. He showed little
interest III enforcing the treaty after
ne had liqudated Great Britain's
chief claims under it. Thereafter he
reverted 10 the traditional English
policy of isolation, playing one Con-
tjnentai state off against another,
even coquetting with Germany and
Russia to hold France in check. II
gas this policy of unrest, more than
anything else, which disrupted the
allied concert and obstructed a heal
ing European settlement.
Lloyd George had the histrionic
temperament. He craved excitement
and cleverly staged diplomatic tri-
rmphs. So he often fell victim to
the view that nations had to be set
by the ears to furnish occasions for
first-aid craftsmanship. The British
people tired Of this hurlyburly. 1t
is no secret that the Coalitionist
Cabinet tired of it before Lloyd
George fell and that in the manage
nent of the Near-Eastern situation
opinion in the Cabinet sustained
Curzon against the Premier.
Bonar Law is now working in con-
cord with Poincare and Mussolini.
Lloyd George could not put any
heart into doing that. Mussolini's
speech to the Italian Chamber
frankly betrayed Itaiy's disappoint-
ment at the results Of the Lloyd
George diplomacy, which asked
much of Italy but offered little or
nothing in return.
A concert of Allies must work for
fhe benefit of all. The new British
Premier apparently recognizes this.
He believes in conmon-sense realism,
not In the cynical realism, camou-
tagged as idealisn, of which Lloyd
George was too fond. Europe's
greatest needs to-day are rest, good
viii and a generous understanding
among the Western European ma
tions. These may come much more
quickly because of the mandate
which the British voters now have
Gaven to Bonar Law.

i THE LANTERN
I Of Diogenes we know little, ex-
cept that he went about town III the
daytime with Lantern seeking, so
| he said, for an honest man. A
nosey old bird, probably, with tam
giles in his beard; with vast ap-
probation Of his own little Jest, and
a willingness to stop and explain 1t
to the ultimate cackle to any one
weak enough to listen.
No doubt, as he wandered about
with his Lantern, he loved to hear
some one say Of him: "Diogenes
there, with his Lantern, is q Jester
but he is not merely a Jester.
Cad, no! Why, the man Is some
thing of philosopher as well!"
"How truew Diogcnes would mur-
mur and think, for brief
moment, that his search was to be
rewarded.
In short, one of the Early
Columnists.
| Bartlctt's book Of familiar quota
| tlons, one Of the few reference works
at hand, does not inform ue whether
Diogenes ever found his honest man
or not; but v7e feel certain that he
didn't. He liked carrying the Lam
tern too we'll, and he would be able
always, upon mature reflection, to
find some flaw in q character that
would prevent him from oxclairn-
ing: "Here, at last, is the nbso-
tnte'y honest mani"
Indeed, it is suggested TO us by
the highest authority that there is
no such thing ON earth as absolute
truth.
We quote from the thirty seventh
and thirty-eighth verses OF the
eighteenth chapter of the Gospel
According to st. John:
"pilate therefore said unto
him, Art thou q king them
Jesus answered, Thou sayest
thot am q Ling. To this end
acas born, and for this cause
came into the worLd, that I
should beer Witness al,,to the
truth. Every one that is of the
truth hec''eth my uoice.
"Pilate saith unto him, What
is truthP
"And when he had said this,
he went out again unto the
Jews."
The Apocryphal Gospel Of Nico-
demus--which some say was rejected |
at the Council OF Nice in S25 A. D.
and which others say is a forgery |
concocted at date later than that |
has more elaboration Of dialogue at
this point of the story Of Jesus,
making Jesus give an answer to
Plate as follows:
"Pilate saith, art thou |
king?
Jesus said, Thou soyest: for
this eoas I born, namely, TO bear
scitness to the truth, and II aug
one Is @ mon Of truth, he be-
EeVeth my acord, c71d doeth it.
"Pilate saith, Whct is truth?
Jesus answered, Truth Is from
fe1ven.
"Pilate saith, Ia not truth o1s
earth?
Christ saith, ans the truth:
and hoao Is truth Judged on
ecrth, by those who have earth
~ poWer"
But If there Is no such thing as
absolute truth on earth among ordi-
nary human beings, there are flashes
and CLEANS OF it here and there;
enough Of them so that Diogenes
was kept happily busy examining
them. And there are interesting
and intricate twIstings and per-
versions Of truth and fascinating re-
lationships Of half-truth to half
truth, and astonishing defections
from the truth, all of which deserve
to have gli1nmer from the Lantern
turned upon them from time to
time.
1t is only by persuading (and
perhaps deceiving) ourself into the
belief that we carry q Lantern Of
