ENTIRELY ARTIFICIAL

QUALITY

NATIONALISM CAUSES WAR

By C. H. S. DUNCAN

"Patriotism," says a well-known writer, "e not an instinct. It is an utterly artificial quality. It has already brought the world to its- knees and caused untold misory, Isn't it time we looked this cheat- ing goddess in the face, and then turned our back on her for ever?"

This is a hard saying, especially for Scots, who more than most pride themselves on their love of country.

The writer, like so many think I ing people at the present time, is dealing with the question of world peace. Nationalism, he suggests, has been the cause of wars in the past, and seems likely to cause them again, unless it is checked in Its more exuberant forms.

But patriotiem. Surely this is virtue above reproach? Aro thinking people to turn their back on love of country?.

literature dealing with the problem

BRILLIANT BORE"

Bernard Shaw's new play, The Simpleton of the Unexpected Ialca," had its world premiere in New York recently.

It is presented against magni- fleont tropical settings, and is a bà- wildering medley of eugenics, rell- gion, and politics intermingled with recurrent blasts of typical Shavian satáre and humour (says the Daily Telegraph.)

At a "tropical port in the British Empire" the Governor of the Island and his wife, alded by an immigra- tion officer and a young woman tourist, collaborate with a native high priest and his wife in a unique eugenie experiment.

..

Four children-two boys and two girls-who are the result, are so physically perfect and so shield- ed, through their upbringing, from the turmoil of the outer world that their joint parents hope they have founded a new, regenerated race,

The objection should of course be, not to patriotism' in its best sense, but to narrow Nationalism. Love of one's country is almost an instinct. It is natural for most people to have some affection for the place where they were born, and for the people among whom they were brought up. But why,
