found the solvent for age-old divi-

This Czechoslovak convention is
believed to have been the first nom
political meeting ever held in that
country of the chief opposing racial
clements. The long and persistent
division among them is scarcely un-
derstandable by an American, yet it
has been the rule in parts of Europe
for centuries. The drawing of new
boundary lines after the war seemed
only to intensity the division. Any
evidence of a movement out of such
a condition toward friendship and
unity is cause for remark. 1t is of
peculiar interest to Americans there

ton Of ideals and programs has come

So it is that this welfare work has
opened up new channels through
which the good will of the Americas
people can flow to other nations.
There is nothing that holds more
promise for the future than the fact
that there exists throughout the
world today activities of humaniz-
ing character inspired and guided
by American agencies.
The future of the newborn ma
tons, or of tie older ones for that
matter, is not primarily a question
of statesmen, of balance of power
and ideal boundaries; it is future
of men and women whose ways are
human and whose problems are
human problems; and in the final
issue these men and women will be
set on the path toward better So
ciety not by laws and regulations.
not by books or sermons, but by the
irresistible force of lives devoted
without limit to personal service for
mankind. ----------.

that the welfare work of the Amer
lean people during the war has led.
Welfare work for fighting men dis
closed a whole new range of interna-
tional service. 1t became. as it were,
a conveyor of social ideals from
one nation to another.
There is higher motive, it is
clear, for international service than
that of selfish advantage. But to
many countries this fact has come
as a startling revelation. AS re-
CARDS America, her welfare service
has shown that what -ther nations
call our passion for uplift" docs
not mean patronage or coddling.
That service has exhibited some of
the best social forces in American
life. The American Y. NJ. c. A.
has exhibited on a worldwide scale
the peculiar genius of our conglom-
crate nation for social experimental
ton. 1t has exhibited the American
conception of Christianity of prac-
teal effort.
