Both agree, however, that the signs are that the coming change will be for the better, that all indications point to the world getting out of its "Childhood" of suspicions and rivalries and that the old bad habits will be definitely eschewed owing to the average man and woman waking up to the fact that in co-operation and not in insensate striving of nations to outjockey on another lies the road to duty, peace and prosperity.
