ROAD TO PEACE.

LACK OF RECIPROCAL · VISION.

The road to peace is the under atanding and evaluation of the whole range of human capacities, however discrepant from our own. Social atrife lies in the lack of re- ciprocal vision between classes. National wars spring from giving an absolute character to national -atandards. We all create perfec- tion in our own image. We still have but one thought, if not one word like the Romans, for the strange and for the hostile. Until that corporate egotism can be dis- ciplined, and a

and generous tolorant imagination can overleap frontiers, we shall never be rid of the age-long blundering conflict of Right with Right. Love, ..., an Goethe said, is the reconcilar of dis- crepancies. Equally hate is the Impatient short cut to evade the circuit of understanding. The peace of understanding is the only peace that can esdure. The Obser
