It must, however, be of a practical nature.

Mr. Lionel Curtis, in the third and concluding volume Of his "Civitas Del." or "City of God." propounds 2 plan which he ac- knowledges to be dineult yet be- lleves to be feasible. His key idea, as he calls it is that the world can be saved only by the general application of the prin ciple that the duty which each mans owes to all his fellows has no limits."

In other words, would have the final say on every detail, on the quotas to be raised. on the taxes to be paid. Would that be acceptable to the Austra- Ban and New Zealand democracies and if so for how long? Demo- cracies are not amenable to taxes levied from outside. Nor are the de- mocracies easy to persuade that dangers which they do not 'visna→

se as close at hand are real.

BRITISH INITIATIVE Bo the real problem is how to build a bridge between nationalism and internationalism and invest some august international au- thority with sovereign powers in all matters relating to peace and

war.

Mr. Curtis sees that the world to-day is not ready for any such plan, and that even a revised League of Nations, with the Arti- cles of the Covenant which have proved so illusory cut out, will still leave the Sovereign International Authority of his ultimate vision totally unrealised. -

How, then, is such an Authority to be established? By slow. de- grees, he says, with two or three of the British democracies agreeing to make the bold experiment as a start. He suggests Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand, the two last being selected because they are the most British of the Dominions, and also, perhaps, be- cause they are the most vulner- able from the quarter farthest re- moved from these shores.

It is true, and the point. tells rather in favour of the proposal, that Australia and New Zealand are content to leave the conduct of their foreign relations in the hands of Great Britain-though other Dominions are already exer- cising their right to conduct theirs for themselves. But in matters of defence the Australian Common- wealth is striking out its own line. even in respect of its infant Navy, and it is dincult to believe that the Australian Labour party in, particular would consent to hav- ing the size of its Military, Navy and Air estimates determined in London, even with the full concur- rence of the Australian repre- sentatives.

Mr. Curtis would actually give the new Authority power to dis- train on individuals who refused should deal not with the National to pay, so anxious is he that it Parliaments, but directly with in- dividual members of each nation. This would not work for a day. The collectors would be as un-
