A WORLD SEEKING NEW LEADERS,

seldom do 10 many political changes occur around
the world at one time. In England Bonar Law and
the tories have suppanted the Lloyd George coai.
uon. In italy Premier Mussolin has made his melo-
dramatic first appearance In Germany William
cuno. an immensely wealthy business man, has nc
cepted the office Of prime minister in the socialistc
government OF President Ebert All these changes
are simultaneous with the American elections which
themselves made many changes in the political map
debatabe question is whether those in whose
charge the government OF nations has been placed
are to be congratulated or condolcd The times are
out Of Joint and the task Of setting them right s bound
to be slow and arduous one. Meanwhile the people
grow impatient. The trouble Is that the world
fondy told Itself that after the war would come
paradise. England was TO be a land eft for heroes
to live In and today those heroes discover that the
only change has been one Of battlefront, the srug-
gle now being with unemployment and poverty. The
breakdown Of Illusion has resulted in one political
upset after another, starting with Wilson and
Clemenceau and reaching now to Lloyd George the
last Of the warmakers.
The situation in America is most easily discussed,
and is typical Of the whole situation. President
Harding two years ago appointed receiver for
the muddled affairs Of America Though he did
everything within human power, still would he be
criticised for the slow progress Of rehabilitation.
What is not generally recognized, or at least not ad-
mittcd IL that the world must be given time To re-
gain It's balance. The gain, too, must be all along
the lne--it Is not possible for nation to push
far ahead Of the others in this advance.
Political happiness at such times as these con-
ssts largely Of lack Of responsibility. Criticism is
easy, and very often is right in the abstract But,
AZ Poincare has found out in France the actual
carrying out Of principles whose application seems
obvious Is beset with insurmountable obstacles The
new administration in Italy is one Of protest and
criticism, and it is hard to predict for IT,
Though the slogan Of Bonar Law in England was
TRANQUILITY" such realization can be guaran-
teed It Is not much Of promise that he has given,
but he and the nation will be In luck IL he can meet
it. The party in the most advantageous position in
England Is the labor party, which is not in power,
and yet which has strong representation in parla-
ment.
The elements Of radical protest are not weak
ened but strengthened by the fact that the more
conservative parties now bear the responsibility.
Hope Is still high for the realization Of Of these
dreams bred In the enthusiasm Of That is what
the shifting about of power signifies. The search is
for new leaders.
