THE ADVANCE * PEKUC. Publisher* MKRSKRT PlILt I of tfc? Associated Pre*. I Pr?M U HlltM ?? ?? S? tnnd has about nu much prestige as J. Ham Lewis has in this country; but the chances are that ?the utterances of an earl will be re ceived in America with a gravity that would not be accorded to those of iHiy Senator, much less to the fl^n^oyant person from Illinois. In deed* they have already been so re ceived. ? Some super-heated citizen has already been sputtering with In- [ dlgnation over his lordship's refer ences to Wood row Wilson, and de manding that Birkenhead's invitation | to address the American IS&r Asso ciation be withdrawn. TMh excitement seema to us ill advised. If Mr. Wilson's reputation is so unsubstantial that It can be damaged by collision with such a butterfly as Lord Birkenhead, then all the effort* of his friends rannot save it. In fact, we And something positively refreshing in the liupu denee of the earl. The spectacle of the American people being lectured by a political errand-boy of the Lloyd George administration and having the science of government explained . to them in words of one syllable seems to us "a raree-show worth the penny." Surely, It Is no bad thing for the solemn ponderosity of Inter national affairs to be lightened oc casionally by a little broad comedy. But his lordship's national philos ophy, unfortunately, Is less amusing. In fact, it is old stuff?was old stuff, Indeed, when Jeremy Benham accept ed It from Machiavelli. From Aha suerus to Hohenzoilern no Interna tional thug and bully has failed to avail himself of It. The extent to which It prevailed at Paris w,u the extent .to which genuine peace was defeated there, it In threadbare and ragged, utterly worn out as a phil osophy, although. It must be con fessed, still vigorously effective as a poMcy. If I/)rd Birkenhead can pre sent us nothing but that ancient bun combe. he Is a failure, for we might have had it served in better shape by putting von Bernhardt on the lec ture.
