Statesmen, who are rightly jealous of humanity's welfare, have of late been proclaiming the insidiousness of the new doctrine, and we, in cur own bumble way, have endeavoured to add to the chorus. The Head of the French Government has delivered a speech at Strasbourg, that even in Reuter's condensation is an eloquent appeal for reason and constitutionalism. "In view of the com- plexity of the problems confronting the new political era it is important that the French elections should result in the establish ment of a homogeneous Parliamentary najcrity which could carry out a well-defined programme of action". "if Society were threatened it ought to rely less on armed force His dictum that than on itself" strikes a very true note. It is the people and the workers themselves who have to realise the danger of any sudden attempt to bring about by a political revolution a new earth, for such an attempt to gain the chimerical greater would only result in the losing of the very solid lesser. When socialism was first advocated it found very little acceptance, but the assimilation of the idea has grown so that to-day there is scarcely a thinking man who can say that he entirely throws aside the whole of the socialistic idea. But if the gospel of Karl Marx had been rushed upon the peoples of the world when it was first sent forth, the world would have groaned under a tragedy of unthinkable magnitude and disaster. It is the same to-day with Bolshevism.

and their sane cogency instantly strikes one.

Those were his words,

New ideas are inseparable from the human race; they come inevitably with the passing of time and the greater accumulation of experience. Progress in administration, development in the science of sociology, and more equitable relations between the classes com- prising modern communities, are just as inevitable. At the end of an unparalleled crisis it would seem to some that things have retrogressed instead of progressed, and so it is that the preaching of a new revolutionary code is meeting with more response than
