which is beginning to be regarded with most profound misgiving. It lacks austerity and spirituality, and it is creating too many fat jobs.

Instead of being inspired with the spirit of John the Baptist, it seems likely to develop into a soulless and expensive baseneratie machine. We see swarms of clerks and typists, endless scurryings to and fro, crowds of people falling over each other, much printing and letter writing. everybody as mysteriously busy as ants, and no big central idea driving the whole business along.

Yet if the Governments have so far only rendered lipservice to the League, it is regarded with silent hope by the dumb millions in many lands whose dream is that wars may cease.

to an expectant world.

We have learned, in war and in international negotiations, to mistrust any undertaking which begins by commandeering big botels. Soch an atmosphere is fatal.

The first real task of the League of Nations is to preach the conclusion reached at its own Brussels Con- ference, which is that all Governments must cut down their expenditure if Europe is to be saved. Can the League do so with any sincerity when its Secretariat is plonging into beary recurring expenditure, of which the British taxpayer has to find a sub stantial share?

Personally I am in favour of the

is useless and that what is needed, is a Brotherhood of Men.

Surely the answer is that fa this great and vital matter we must walk before we can run? The world is not ripe for international brother hood. A hundred barriers of race and climate and colour have to be re- moved, and the process will take centuries. I remember the chant of the American soldiers in the Philip pines, who, when invited to take their little brown brother" by the hand, used to sing, He may be a brother of Big Bill Taft, but he ain't no brother of mine." We mustaccept human instincts as we find them...

But meanwhile here is this League, still small and weak and hardly able to walk, yet meaning something. It is the only thing born of the war which promises, however faintly, to- give some realisation of that ideal of

At the same time, the Allied countries will have to recognise that only a prosperous Germany can make reparation at all Amid the outery about the prospective revival of German trade this simple platitude is too often overlooked. I have no sympathy with the people who are beginning to slobber over the Ger mans. I do not want to admit the Germans for slushy sentimental rea. sons, but I belong to the growing group of men and women who hold that economic and financial questions
