leads down the dark future through
long generations" involving the
CLristianization of the world-an end
devoutly to be sought and eventually
to be obtained-but obviously, ages
hence.
The American people should not be
lulled into any false sense of security
by reason of what has been accom-
plished by the conference on disarma-
ment. We must not take too much
for granted. No plan has been pro-
mulgated which will change human
nature or bring about the millennium.
by contract. NO covenant which has
ever been made or will ever be entered
into between and among nations will
prove a perfect panacea for or per-
feet preventive of war. No league Of
nations, parliament of the world, or
even public opinion itself will always
secure a permanent peace. Neither
you nor I, our children, grandchildren
or great-grandchildren will live long
enough to see the day when it will be
unnecessary to maintain a sufficient
force to guarantee our safety and to
keep the peace.
Free Nations Maintain by Force
Till Force Is No Longer Needed
Speaking Of our dream Of the peace
that is to be, was 1t not President
Eliot who said that such things are
to-day pleasing, imaginary goals for a
distant future just as they have been
already for hundred years? Such
public liberties as already exist in the
world have been obtained by forcible
resistance to oppression; and they
must be maintained for generations to
come in the same way. 1t is for the
freer nations of the world. including
the United States, to maintain them
by force until they can be safely main
tained without force. You may not be
lieve in signs, but you are bound to
admit that such signs as there are to-
day point to no such fundamental
changes in government as to warrant
any expectation that human nature
has changed one scintilla. or that the
dawn of peace is near at hand.
You and know, as has been well
said, that nations are only men in the
aggregate, Lney are the aSSTeSdttOH
of his crimes and dissipation and de-
pravity. and so long as these con-
stitute the basis Of individual impulse
so long will they control the acts OF
| nations. When the merchant arbi-
trates with customer he is about to
cheat; when trusts arbitrate with the
people they are about to fleece; when
the bulls and bears arbitrate with the
lambs they are about to shear; when
the thief arbitrates with the man he
| is about to rob or the murderer with
his victim, and so on throughout the
category Of crime. then will arbitration
be able to realize the Utopian dream OF
the pacifists.
Why is it necessary to argue that
the pronouncements of any parliament
of the world. international tribunal
league of nations, or conference, by
whatever name it may be called. are
not worth the paper on which they
are written. except for the fact that
back of them lies the power of en-

General Protest Against
Military Control of Body

Qualification is widespread that the
Government has yielded to the over
whelming protests and has decided to
omit the famous force from the opera
tions of the new act which Is to CO.
ordinate the militia and naval and air
services under one head and thus do
away with many highly paid heads OF
departments and effect a considerable
economy.
In the discussion which took place
in the House OF Commons relative to
the future OF the Royal Mounted Po-
lice there appeared to be two consid-
erations. each of some Importance.
The first OF these had to do with the
functions of the force, and the de-
STABILITY of maintaining the service
unimpaired. while the second turned
upon the propriety OF including the
mounted police as one of a group OF
services in "A new Department of Ma
tional Defense.
No very convincing case was made
out either for the curtailment of the
strength and activities Of the force or
for its transfer TO a department OF
what arc essentially military services.

the necessary friction to cause the
terrific explosion which will shake the
worlds foundations and jar il to its

Statesmen talk at great length and
with apparent complacency. but
trembe lest they betray some secret
or violate some pledge. or say some
thing which may plunge their coun-
tries into the maelstrom of war. The
problems with which they are con-
fronted are stupendous in magnitude,

altogether too apparent to be imagi

relations between the European Pow
ers are strained to the utmost tension.

Special Correspondence to THE NEW YoRK
HERALD.
MONTREAL. April 26.
r r was with a feeling of shock that
most. Canadians read last week
of a Government proposal for
further interference with the mounted
police force. which is still gratefully re-
membered as the Northwest Mounted,
although since it's jurisdiction was ex-
tended all over Canada it is now
known as the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police. The force has always been a
civilian one, and the Government $
proposal to include it in a reorganiza-
ton OF the military department and
to place it under the control of the
Minister of Militia and Defense met
with wholehearted and almost uni
versal opposition and condemnation.
Criticism came from sources so wide
apart as the leader OF the Opposition
and OF the late Government. Hon.
Arthur Meighen; Hon. Mr.. Crerar,
leader of the Progressives, and the
Rev. j. s. Wordsworth, labor mem
Der from Winnipeg, who, as one of the
leaders in the notorious Winnipeg So
Wet a few years ago, complained of
having been personally shadowed by
the force. which, he said. was doing
secret service work, and wanted it's
activities curtailed. Several Quebec
members also were of opinion that the
work of the force should be limited to
the undeveloped and unorganized ter
ritories Of the far north, where its
most noteworthy services have been
rendered in recent years. and where
its name is symbolical with justice.
