THE FIRST "TRUE" MAN.
:
"Thinking of Law, Not Power."
CRUCIAL ISSUE IN MANCHURIA.
Two theses of high import- ance were advanced by Profes sor A. E. Zimmern, Professor of International - Relations, con tinuing his addresses on the "New World Order."
These were:-
That when the conception of "public service" replaced that of "popular sovereignty" a philosophy of govern. ment, then, and only then, would international co-opera- tion become possible.
28
On the Manchurian question, that the issue beside which all others were insignificant, was the use of military force as an instrument of national policy. If it were employed successfully, in plain defiance of law, we would be back again in 1914.
"World order must not be con- ceived of as a pooling of power or surrender by individual States of their separate sovereignties for the sake of a world sovereignty." he declared. "We must cease to look forward to a World State."

WILD OLD DAYS.
Whether you
are a rover, or
merely a would-be rover,, the life- story in outline of Bernard Free- man, F.R.G.S., who has settled down at 80 at Finsbury Park, N., must be full of interest.
More Than a Million
Years Ago.
LIVED IN SUSSEX.

England, according to Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborne, of the American Museum of Natural History. He told Yale University that this Speaking 12 languages, Mr. Free-"true" man could be traced to Sus- man has had adventures in every quarter of the globe, and has made sex, where he lived one and a quar- and lost fortunes.

Ia boyhood he WAB sent to Palestine to study Semitic language, and on his return at 15 he felt the call of the sea. Those were the days of the Cutty Sark and other famous clippers, and Mr. Freeman had some thrilling experiences in the wind-jammers.
Then he spent many years in San Francisco and Oregon. There he was auccessively miner, cowboy,: salmon-fisher and canner, and In- disa fighter.

Sarah Bernhardt, then touring America with many pet snakes and a young tiger, stayed at one of his hotels. Mr. Freeman organised a hunting trip for the actress after bear and elk.
A Fine Shot.
He says she did not know fear, and was the finest woman shot he ever saw, although she fired from the hip.
That road was a blind alley which led nowhere, or rather led Inevitably back to separate sover. eignty, for democratic people would never surrender their power of government to a cen- tral Government, We would Before he was 80 Mr. Freeman never attain to real world order had made £50,000.

villages.
The basis of the "New World Order" was that men must learn to think of it, not in terms of "power," but only in terms of law." World rule would never come about by the pooling of power, but only through the adoption of a political philosophy which regarded government not as an exercise of power, but as an agency of service, a means of carrying on the public affairs of the community. Thus the various peoples would find it easier to agree on common rules to facilitate the carrying on of such of their affairs as were inter-dependent. It was as im possible to frame common law in the assembly of sovereigns as it would be to frame a common Budget in an assembly of misera.
The elimination, of war, Pro- fessor Zimmern declared, was not only the basis of the "New Order," but it was the only thing that mattered in International relations at the present time. Civilisation had reached a time where it must abolish war or perish by war.
