DoDeED Al CRUEL FATE

1.-THE introduction by Senator
Lodge May s, of a resolution to
create a new World Court, throws
into bold relief the fact that Ameri-
can public opinion overwhelmingly
demands the prompt adherence by
our Government to the protocol of
signature of the Permanent Court of
International Justice on the condi-
lions formulated by Secretary Hughes
vigorously championed by President
Harding and approved by President
Coolidge is the opening of verbal
attack from more than fifty organi-
cations. Perhaps all Senator Lodge
expected is so being realized. Any
how, he has drawn their fire and so
caused shift of a certain amount of
limelight to himself. Being over
looked entirely, would be. we sus-
pect, absolutely distasteful to the
senior senator from Massachusetts.
He may at least be trusted to pro-
vide against such a cruel fate.

APPRENTICESHIP OF iMPRAc
TICAL PAcIFlSM

The action of tie quadrennial
General Conference Of the Methodist
Church in upsetting the report of
the majority committee in the mat
ter of attitude the Church should
take toward war Ind voting a
special committee to report next
Friday came after a somewhat heat
ed discussion in which it was charg-
ed the majority report savored of
rebellion, treason and cowardice.
This new committee to consider
the attitude toward war is to con-
sist Of three bishops, five laMnen
and five pastors to be appointed by
the board of bishops, which takes
the matter out of the hands OF the
committee which urged Methodism
to take pronounced pacifist atti-
tude. The new committee Is ex-
pected to report against war except
in self-defense. with possible excep-
ton to relieve the oppression of
other nations, which would leave the
door to war wider than favored by
the majority Of the previous COM
mittee. The committee out Of the
Eands of which the decision was
taken rendered two reports. That of
the majority proposed separation of
the Church from all wars, while the
minority report made exception Of
wars for self defence or in defence
of humanity.
1t Is very evident that the agitation
being made in the interests of i'm
practicable pacifism Is causing ap-
prehension. The result may be
swinging the pendulum too far in
the opposite direction. United eff
fort is required for all the
practical pacifism< possible, for
cultivating the spirit Of peace and
righteous dealings between nations:
for frowning upon the aggression Of
selfishness among nations as among
individuals; for convincing the peo-
Piles of the earth that fair dealing
between them must first be had be-
fore we can have any assurance of
prolonged peace.s 1t should support
our Presidents attitude toward
Japan, for example. Such under
taking is so tremendous that many
have come to regard it as impos-
sible. Their faith needs inspiration.
II will scarcely coroa franz ale
cordant factions in or out Of the
church. Those who would lie at
ease in fatuous confidence in mans
humanity to man, without first MAX
ing that state Of mind more general,
are a real cause for apprehension
among the practical pacifists. They
are extremists and one extreme is
opposite another extreme.
