A recent conference in Edin- burgh emphasised the gulf which separates the "intellectuais" from those who have to face the stern realities of life. The dis- cussion was on the position of the world's intellectual leaders in the event of another war break- ing out. Herr Emil Ludwig, an eminent writer who has delved much into history and written the lives of some of Europe's most famous men, came forward with a proposal that if war ap- pear imminent, intellectual lead- ers should get together, decide which nation was the aggressor, and then call upon all the world

He declared that he did not think Herr Ludwig's pro- posal in the slightest degree practical. That is the blunt truth of the matter.

'The pro ject is not only unpractical; it is farcical. There are intellectuals who are such good international- ists that they succeed in forget- ting that they ever had a country. There are also intellec- tuals who, despite all thelr in- tellectuality, remain perfervid patriots all the time. These are the two types that would come together in irreconcilable clash in Herr Ludwig's Court of War Guilt. It would be simply Bed- lam. So it seems that the possession of "Intellect" does not carry any guarantee of super- Intive ability to read such riddles. Nor in time of international crisis, is it to the intellectual Jonders of the world that Govern- ments and peoples look for salva tion.
