SAFETY FOR THE HUMAN

RACE

BY HAROLD BIGDIE,

The idea of a regenerated Europe which is to start its career with 100 million of its inh itant, in a state of

punishment is not only an absurd notion it is an insane notion”.

Nevertheless, Professor Juck, who makes this sensible pronouncement in the Fil. Lert Journal, sees that the great crime of this war must not go unpurished. A

vision begins to form itself,' he exclaims, of an ending to the war which would be nothing less than a general victory for alt Europe indeed, for all the world, a victory in which the Central Empires themselves would be the chief skurers and could hardly fail to recognise themselves se itch. What is this vision?

THE WORLD AND DEMOCRACY.

President Wilson has given democracy a lead. The most striking passage in his address to Congress is that, in which he announced that the world must be render ed" safe for democracy.” He did not dy that it must be rendered safe for American, British, French, and Bussian democracy, but for democracy that is to say, for all mankind. And be further emphasised this catholic conception of democracy by differentiating between the German Government and the German people. The new world which we desire to build from the ruins of the old cannot bon world minus Germany and Austria The peoples of all that vast stretch of European territory will remain; and they will remain, either as good neigh bours in a new and better world, or a sullen and envious enemic in World which perpetuates the most dangerous elements in the old

In the same period our enemies are not known to have lost any thing above the grade of a destroyer. Such facts indicate that the legitimate lighting possibilities of the submarino have not yet been exhausted; indeed, the opinion of many of our most thoughtful and progressive officers is that we have hardly touched the fringe of them, any more than we have of the use of the mine
