Mr. Arthur Henderson, in a striking speech sometime before the war, referred to what he well stated as the problem of the better man. The Churches, he said, had never before realised their social responsibilities so much; the same was true of the scientific world and of Parliament, whose attention was given as never before to the social and economic problems of life. He was afraid, however, that We were all neglecting the problem of the better man, and if we were to have a new environment built upon a higher ideal of life we should have to have a people equal to the new ideal.

If such u question was in place a few years ago it is not less so now, when the task of making a world safe for democracy is beset by mis- givings as to the fitness of: ourselves, the democracy, for a better type of the world than we have produced thus far. It is pretty generally agreed that! modern civilisation, like other types which preceded it, has proved in many respects extreme- ly disappointing.

True there was more trade, more wealth, wider domin- ion, but the people at large were not really happier, nor healthier, дог on the whole even better off. Theo came the war.
