Eliot, emeri-) tus-president of Harvard, that the peace in Europe after the war is based upon two suggestions The first is the establishment of a supreme court, to be used not only to settle international disputes, but for ‘inquiries inte conditions which may lead to disputes. The second the maintenance of an_ interna- tional force subject to the or- der of such a court, as a sheriff or marshal executes the orders of a court within a nation. > s .

The co-operation, however, is not the result of the judgment of any tribunal, and the delinquent and the po- lice are at present nearly matched. If the police win, is there any hope of a permanent improvement in international relations? ees All the parties to The Hague convention did not bind them- selves to support the agree- ment with force.

But if could be made such an agreement ever | an agreement for means of enforcing the las a long step would be taken to- ward the abolition of war. Progress im this direction will be due not to one, but to several forces. Dr. Eliot, for instance, says that publie opin- ion alone has not war or the national providing for law and prevented violation of inter- agreements intended to mitigate the horrors of war. That is true, but it does not follow that public opinion is of no value. It is upon public opinion that we must depend to carry out the plan which Dr. Eliot advocates. There is also a growing sense that the true function of na- tions is not conflict, but co-op- eration. Although this is not universally realized or imme- diately effective it is none the less true of nations just as it is of individuals, and its recog- nition is oné of the tests of civ- ilization.—Toronto Star. oe ee 6 very An industry with $27,464,000 capital and employing 98,669 men, with an output valued last year at $13,891,398, must be ranked with the most im- portant of the Dominion.
