OF Britain welcomed the New Year
with feelings of real gladness un-
touched by apprehension. For the
first time in eight years they looked
ahead with feelings of hope.
New Years Eve was q time for re-
capitulation of the stormy times Of
1921 Before midnight struck folks
looked back on the old year and its
incessant strain. They recalled per-
iods Of industrial unrest, revolution
ary activities and bolshevist dangers;
they remembered the awful trade de-
preston, the ghastly miners, strike,
and the threatened Triple Alliance
strike that would have speedily
strangled the very life of the country;
they thought of all the averted inter-
nal European troubles that might
have started a world war over again;
they looked buck to the awful spectre
of massacre and civil war in Ireland.
And they asked themselves Has
there ever. been such terrible year
as 1891?
But, after midnight struck, their
thoughts turned to n happier vein.
Was not 1921 over. finished with and
better forgotten? And how about the

prospect of 1892 II
Look Ahead to Good Times

Then the mood changed 1t be-
came optimistic. From gloom it turn
cd to hopefulness, What does the
coming year hold in store? So they
took stock of the present position.
They found that tho irish trouble
was practically over. For the first
time for zoo years it seemed as though
England and Ireland were to live to-
gether In peace. They realized that
Europe was on the point of settling
down to peace and that war weapons
were really being put aside. They
spoke of the Washington Conference
and how it had put an end both to the
mad competition of armaments and
the terrifying possibility of war be-
tween the United states and Japan.
And so they looked forward to q
year of peace and real recuperation.
They anticipated year wherein trade
promised a worldwide recovery, when
nations would begin to reunite and
sanity return after an absence of near
ly eight years.
That was how 1922 was welcomed

EUROPEAN LATIN NATIONS

BY JOHN DE GANDT

United Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Jan. 24.-That the Latin
European block is cracking and that
at least three of its largest parts are
on the verge of diverging, each in its
own direction, is the opinion prevail
ing in French official circles. These
parts are France, Italy and Spain.
The man reason given here for
such situation is that for a long time
jealousy against 1.-The big sister" has
existed both in Italy and Spain, where
it would be hard nowadays to find
somebody who would still admit

| Jealousy" the French say, "be-
cause of local difficulties in. those
countries, of which we cannot be held
responsible, bolshevism and facistism
| in Italy, the Moroccan war and a
very bad economical situation in
Spain, is to blame for the discord.
Many Italians think we have forgot
len the Italian help during the Great
WaD was really effective. Numerous
Spariards believe France secretly
wishes the Spaniards to lose their
African war against the Moors."

If LEAGUE FAILS
CIVILIZATION GOES

London, July % (By the Associated
Press) ).-"More terrible machines
than in the late war are being con-
structed,' said Prime Minister Lloyd
George at luncheon givent=byN 300
prominent Free churchmen today.
"What for?" he asked and con-
tinued:
"To attack cities and MAIN, destroy
and burn helpless women and children.
Keep your eyes on what Is happening.
If the churches of Europe and Amer
lea allow that to fructify, they had
better close their doors.
eve reduced our armaments and if
other nations follow the example,
there will be 10 serious menace to
peace, but it is difficult for a nation
to remain defenseless while others are
preparing for war"
Mr.. Lloyd George said that the next
war, if it came, would be war on
civilization itself. Speaking of the
suddenness in which war came, he
said:
"The war germ is like any other
rerm-you do not know that you have
it until it has got You. 1t is of no use
arguing with an epileptic when the
fit is on him. There is that atmos-
phere in the world now and the ex-
plosive material is scattered over the
face Of Europe.
"When a match is dropped it is too
late to wave the covenant of the
league of nations. 1t is the new spirit
that is wanted. Lock up the ex
llosives and especially lock up those
given to dropping matches. The
churches must promot the new spirit
which is necessary"
The prime minister said that he at
tached high hopes to the league of
nations. He said that civilization
would be safe if the league succeeded.
If it failed, civilization was doomed,
he thought.
