A CONTEST FOR TYROS

The difficulty of the task confronting
those who are trying to win the Boil
100000 peace prize may or may no
have appeared any greater to some o.
them when they read the names of the
Judges, recently announced. But per.
sons with less self-confidence than those
who arc participating in the contest
might see in that galaxy of distinguished
names more plausible warrant for
nIon-participation than mere nlodesty al
fords.
Three of the seven judges are men Of
wide practical experience in public af-
fairs OF an international nature: Elihu
Root, Colonel Edward M. House and
Brand Whitlock. Mr.. Root has served
the United States in many capacities; he
is an eminent statesman, and it is
doubtful if any American is better
informed than he concerning interna-
tional relations, or more competent to
pass judgment on international issues.
Colonel Houses activities, in general
though not in detail, are we'll known
and he is reputed to have high stand
ing IN Europe as an unofficial statesman
and diplomat-as a philosopher in gov
ornamental affairs, so to speak. Brand
Whitlock, former ambassador to Bel
gium. has long enjoyed the reputation
of being thinker and an efficient Or
ganlzer and executive. He first came
into wide notice as mayor of Toledo.
The other judges, although less ex-
perienced in public affairs of "a govern
mental nature than are the three men-
toned, are widely known for their inter-
est Ill such affairs. They are: William
Allen White, Kansas newspaper editor,
than whoner" so far as evident in
tcrest in politics and government is con-
cerned: Gen. James G. Harbord, chief
OF staff of the American Expeditionary
Force in France during the organizing
period, and again in 1919; Roscoe Pound.
authority on the laws of many countries,
historically, and dean of the Harvard
Law School, and Ellen Fitz Pendleton:
president of Wellesley College since 1911.
10 those who have not entered. or
planned to enter, the Box contest. it
might seem that some of the best tai
ent IN the country was eliminated when
the Judges were chosen. By the same
token they might, of course, be encour-
aged to enter now. But give them
credit for more altruistic thoughts than
those they would devote to the matter if
the winning of the money award. were
their only consideration. The object of
the contest, as announced, is to produce
the best plan ito prevent war through,
the cooperation of the United States
and other nations"
If Elihu Root, Colonel House. Brand
Whitlock and the others have had such
wide experience in governmental affairs
why haven't they-on the assumption
that it is possible to devise a plan 70,
preventing war-put their talents tc
work on the problem? OF course a plau
sible reply to that question might easil,
be given. But the sheer fact that those
who have been appointed judges in thi,
contest. despite their presumably super
Tor abilities, have not devised a peac,
plan, cannot but accentuate the difficult,
Of the task which the actual contestant
have undertaken.
