We would rather have tractor ploughs than giant howitzers, typewriters than machine-guns, chemical fertilisers than high explosives.

It would be pleasant if we could carry out the advice of the Bible in all its vast simplicity, and fashion some of the millions of useless bayonets into chaff- cutting machines, turn tanks into threshing machines, and tame projectors into apparatus for the spraying of fruit-trees. But the trouble is that our njodern world is so terribly clever. It made the machinery of destruction with sach a wealth of science and of skill that it is of very little use fur anything else.

Yet there are parts of the mechanism of war which could be readily and immediately diverted to the service of peace, and I am wondering what use is to be made of them. In par- ticular I am wondering what is to be done with all the beautiful motor lorries with which we have provided the Army in the past four years. I do not know the number of them, but there must be many thousands. They have been carrying food and am- munition along all the roaïls which used to lead to the war. They are strong and speedy, and they have men trained to their use, and trained also to deal with their occasional ailments.

There on the one hand are the lorries, framed in the adequate organisation of the Army Service Corps. On the other hand here is this our England which is being taught to grow food on a some andreamt of in the past. It me that the lorries riccars to could be most excellently useful in the peaceful service of this food-growing England.

From the country where it is grown the food must be taken to the towns where it is consumed. fu the old days that carrying was performed by the railways, and

That is one of "the things we have to alter if we are to make the most of England, and there are the lorries to make the altera- tion possible. Why should not the motor transport of the Army

heads under which Peking seta forth its plaint. On three points there was intimidation regarding the internment, the deportation, and the liquidation of the Dent- sche Bank. With regard to those we now know that China was quite willing that Germans should either be interned or deported, but there were other factors which appeared at the inat moment when, it will be remembered, vessels were ready for the deportation. Of these we have now quite reliable informa- tion which shows us that for once, and for the time being, the Allies were actually intimidated by fear of Hun frightfulness. We cannot exactly blame them, since we now know that there are no limits to the demoniacal cruelty of which the Hun is capable, and it was perhaps good policy to recognise that on account of the Allied prisoners then in Han hands, Now, there is all the greater reason why deportation should promptly be carried out if only to show that frightfulness pays no better than war. The Dutch Minister, when he objected to the deportation of Germans to Aus tralia on the ground that they were being ill treated there. doubtless confiued himself tol generalities. A man may be "ill treated" deprived of motor and ice cream! But when that same Minister proceeded to threaten China with reprisals on the 700,000 law abiding Chinese in the Dutch East Indies, he was

It will, perhaps, be argued that in regard to the intimidation complained of there was at the time no strong repudiation by the Chinese Government; that if there had been any such strong feeling, we should have known of it Various reasons might be offered why this was, or might have been, so. We have already excused China for sitting on the fence, and have pointed to the excellent company which preced- eat shows to have occupied the same position at various times. Then there is the undoubted fact! that in China,
