So that's why, when you offered me, whisky, I asked you

to make mine a White Horse. I daresay some men hold that one Scotch whisky

is as good as another. Well, when they know as much about it as I do, they will think differently."

REDISCOVERING

is impossible to deal clearly with the problem of inter- national morality unless we begin by reviewing the principles and conditions of individual integrity.

What is an upright man? He is one who obeys certain rules. The moral man does not covet what is

his neighbour's, he does not lie, steal, or kill. In a word, he abstains from a great many acts which his "lower instincts" might cause him to commit.

his into

Why does he abstain? In part from fear. In a civilised country a thief or murderer, save in some exceptional cases, cannot long pursue course. Very soon he falls the hands of the police and of the law. Moreover, if he has had any religious training, he knows that in case he escapes the justice of men, he must still reckon with God's.

But fear is far from being the only spring of the individual's moral character, and one would as a matter of fact hesitate to call "moral" a man whom fear alone prevents from committing culpable facts. On a desert island a man with a high moral sense would behave as well toward women and children feelings and his troubles, because fair conduct.

What, then, are the feelings which dictate this honourable conduct to him? They are three kinds. First come the social instincts. Because man has lived gregariously for thousands of years, he is a social creature. Society's laws have be- come instinctive with him; he has need of the approbation of the tribe. Part and parcel of his very being is his family, his town, his [country. What he calls the voice of conscience is often enough the voice: of these groups which are of him.

A second feeling which governs the conduct of the upright man is the need of being at peace with himself. He needs his own proval; he desires that the man he will be to-morrow may acknowledge without shame the deeds he does to- day, and accept responsibility for them. The moral sense and the esthetic sense thus converge. Men abstain from certain acts because they consider them unseemly.

Finally, love and kindness are the highest forms of individual mor- ality. The moral man treats his neighbour well because he loves him, because he understands his
