THE CHINA MAIL,

I have never believed that Ger- many was essentially, a militaristic country. They were peasants, craftsmen, and musicians,

However, it's no good now talk- ing like this. It's too late. The mischief has been done. The only thing is to start the earth all over¦¦ again.

Appealing to a League of Nations seems like beginning at the wrong end. You can't reform hardened sinners. Our only hope lies in an appeal to the children.

In other words, the solution is in education. And we must begin by atressing the fact that the basis of education is behaviour. I do not] mean behaviour in the sense of jumping up and opening the door for Auntie when she is leaving the room (although this is not to be deprecated); I mean rather the

COMPULSORY HISTORY.

It is no good teaching anybody anything unless you teach them how to behave with regard to the knowledge you impart. Crusted na we all are with projudice and dogma, there is almost as much to unteach as there is to teach. Fortunately there are still children who know nothing at all.

when anything like a war comes along it is almost takon in its stride, as of something that "s done." The abstract justice of it is hardly challenged.

Europe, particuarly Central Europe, suffers from a surfeit of historical knowledge. And, as it seems impossible to suppress the aullen vengeances and jealousice which this historical knowledge Imparts, would it not be better to suppress it altogether?

“A UNIVERSAL CODE.

I would like to so order the world that no one knows who his own grandfather was. It doesn't matter what they, did yesterday. It mat- ters more what we do to-day, but matters most that these youngsters should wake up to-morrow free and untrammelled. And it is really all 80 easy, The Instinct of man is to be friendly to his neighbour. When he behaves otherwise it is because he has been educated to do so, either by the Press or the his- tory books.

It should not be difficult to es-- tablish a universal code of decent behaviour, whereby the individual judges every project, untrammelled by the past, in an independent and fearless manner. I do not mean a high-faultin' code like that of the Samural, but just a conformity to decency and fair play as between man and man, and woman and woman. They might, for instance,

In the execution portion the scene depicting an officer shooting a soldier because he refused to raise his rifle had been, excluded. The soldier, however, was portray: ed as refusing to obey the order to fire.

The picture was received with intense silence until the last scene had faded from the screen. Then there followed a mild but brief out- i break of applause.

Whether it is expedient to exhibit this production in the United States, where many people of Ger- man birth or origin reside and where very many persons believe that it is good policy to eliminate most things which are not calculat- ed to promote internatinal good feeling and the world's peace, is a matter which is viewed differently by various sections of the people.
