H Perhaps Four Chief Qualities Among the ! j
English-Speaking Peoples
• ' By SIDNEY BALDWIN, British Premiar. ' ) |
» t _ ... *r ' I i
THE common civilization which we all inherited ic that old civilian ! |
tion of western Europe, which for seventeen centuries has been! j |
built up through the blood and tears of generations of men, of j
saints and soldiers, kings and statesmen, and we are seeing that !
civilization cracking today. The whole world, consciously or uncon
sciously, not vocally, none the less in reality, is looking for salvation from j
the subject of this toast, “The British Empire and the United States.” j
There may perhaps be four chief qualities, persistent, consistent, 1 j
unong the English-speaking people. They have alike, from long inher- i
itance, an innate sense of justice. Secondly, there is that real democratic j
feeling of valuing a man for what he is. There is, thirdly, that sense i
>f political-freedom, neither degenerated on the one aide to license nor |
»n the other hand retrograding into tyranny. Lastly, there is the love j
it spiritual freedom, a belief that men in the English speaking races can
worship in their own form and their own manner.
I believe in those four things you have the fundamental principle#
that guide all our people alike. You have that consistent product of the
Btock which gives us, in my belief, that strength of character that gives'
people a feeling that we can be trusted, that, we axe a support of serving'
to the world. ■
It always seems to me that what is true of individuals is true to a 1 |
great extent of nations and groups of nations. I believe that in the true
course of progress we shall, all of us—the nations in our empire and the
United States—in our several ways, each pursuing our own development | 1
to the qttermost of our power, come to unite wherever justice calls us 1 1
throughout the world and wherever there is peace to be insured. !
If there is building up to do in the world it is we in the long run?
who will have to do that building, and whether the time is come now, or id
whether it is in the future, let every one of us here cherish at least that j ]
ideal in the firm conviction that sooner or later opportunity will-be given
to us for its realization. But for the men who have to lay their hands Kj
to that task they will want the courage of a Pitt and the faith of a
Lincoln. . ,

Europe Now Wants Not Judicial Intervention
but Partisan Intervention *
4, By REPRESENTATIVE T. E. BURTON, of Ohio. j
A 51 lan optimist in world politics? No—and yes. lam sure j
many grave difficulties must be overcome before we can have, “
international confidence and peace. Europe is in a deplorable
_ condition. Doubtless it yearns for a settled political and
sociaTorder as ardontly as any people can; doubtless its public thought
and purpose are moving on as high a plane as the circumstances make
possible, but it is full of trouble, and its every path toward general
accommodation blocked. Its diversities axe indescribable, its
juspicions obstinate, its antipathies almost fathomless. One scarcely can
descry a dear European itorizon; in every direction are massed clouds
and ceaseless lightning play.
Think of Europe’s innumerable and fixed segregations. Physically
snd psychologically it has memories of nothing but segregation. Moun
tains, rivera and seas figl|fc against peace in Europe. They keep peoples
apart They perpetuate hatreds. In their work of prolonging human
division they are aided by differing degrees of civilization, by antago
nistic racial impulses, by discordant religions and by a babel of tongues.
Add to these physical and mental, barriers and disparities the numberless
intractabilities common to all human nature and yon have a problem
that well may dishearten the most hopeful and resolnte of Statesmen.
But the situation cannot rest here. Humanity must advance. Evolu
tion will not be denied. Intellectual and moral forces are gathering
itrength, peoples are traveling, frontiers are wearing down, education is
ipreading, international understanding, though slow-paced, is on the
inarch.
Europe just now does not want judicial intervention; it wants
partisan intervention. Each of the gidSit protagonists looks to us, not for
lisinteresteiS guidance, but for helpful sympathy with itself. We can
lot take sides among these contestants. It would be necessary for us to
>ppoae somebody, and whomsoever we opposed we should offend. In all
ikelihood we merely Bhould add another element to the welter of jarring
udgments and embittered emotions. Possibly the conditions will change
md offer us an opening for useful mediation or aid. Our most responsible
rablie men at Washington axe on the bridge, so to speak, for such a sign.
No Civilization Lasts Long Unless the People
Are Trained to Their Tasks .

By PROF. M. V. O’SHEA, University of Wisconsin. ;%
The "conditions in city life have changed markedly during the last
few decades. The individual home has been constantly losing its dia
anctive character. Fifty years ago, ev'en in the city, young and old spent
i considerable part of their time in their own homes. Today most of
their time is spent outside of their homes; and even when they axe in
their own homes, their friends are there with them.
The agencies in the "city designed to help people to while away their
Kwin have been constantly increasing out of all proportion to an increase
in the size of the cities. This simply means that people are spending
much more of their time together in groups than they did formerly.
The tendency of this new life is to make young people more respon
se, more alert, more self-reliant in the presence of others, perhaps even
tbs" was true in the old order. But at the same time,- young
people do not have training outside of the school in long-continued appli
cation to vff task. No civilization can long endure unless the people are
trained to apply themselves to their tasks, whatever they may be, for A
long time; that is to say, redai th* tasks are reltai _

Any breaking out or skin irritation

says a noted skin specialist Because

Mentho-Sulphur heals eczema right <

It seldom fails to relieve the torment 1
