A front lawn is, only a week- end penance, and should be dug up and enst aside.

All cracks in the muter walls should be filled in. Soap is not. bad, and it is easy to work, al- though the house during wet weather is likely to froth a bit.

The Arst thing to do when in- spection of the roof is contemplinter Is to go somewhere and borrow # ladder. This takes about three

days.

Always get your wife, to hold the ladder, so that you have something soft to fall denis.

If the roof needs painting, paint yourself all over first and then' paint the roof. Then, if you get paint on you while painting the roof it won't matter.

Having finished the roof, wipe your hands on your hair and go to the nearest hotel and have thres pints. I make this an invariablə rule when painting roofs,

My wife often wonders why I paint the roof alx times a week.

When (and f) you get down of the root, the front and back doors are the next things to be examined. You will probably find that all the paint is scratched of around the keyhole and that the lower por Lion is dented in various places where you have been kicking it when you have lost your key.

If the door is very bad, take 11 off its hinges and turn it arounri so that the outside is on the in- side.

Windows should come next. Good taste dictates that a window with a busted sash-cord should not be propped up with an empty sauce bottle.

HAVING reached the roof, ex- nmine the guttering carefully for birds' nests, tennis balls, stones, and empty rum Basks.

We then come to the roof proper. If it is a tiled roof it is better to stay on the ladder. This also np- plies to slate roofs.

Corrugated iron roofs may be Inspected with a fair amount of Impunity, and you can always get someone to call the local fire bri- gude to get you down again.

Replacing sash-cords is a ticklish job, and I have found I casier to punch a hole in the window when fresh air is needed and paste a piece of brown paper uver it when you feel that the window should be shut.

This method may seen uncon- ventional, but it works.

People who nonchalantly raise and shut windows would be aston- ished if they could seo the inner works. Pulleys, ropes, and lead weights are necessary to open a window. Brute strength is neces- sury to shut it.

I wonder what sticky-beak in- vented windows?

CASE FOR FEDERAL UNION

THE Discussion which Mr. Clarence Streit's

"Union book,

Now," started, both in Europe and America, is wholly to be welcomed. To-day ra- tional thought on the pro- blems of Federal Union is still possible. Moreover, when the storm of war has passed and the time has come to rebuild, ideas and projects worked out now, even though they shall seem for a while to have been buried, may

come to peaceful life again.

The only solid reason why 1 hesitate to back Mr. Streit's plan as it stands is because 1 do not believe that American opinion will back it. I cannot think that the United States will accept so wholesale a pooling of their national sovereignty with Old Europe.

Personally and I do know that many of my countrymen agree with me in this-I would be disposed to support, as part of the peace settlement following this war, the, widest and most ambitious federal

#

scheme that will win general consent.

Many of us in Britain who bucked the League of Nations. Woodrow Wilson's child, from Ils birth-even when it was disowned in the land of its parentage-even Covenant was constantly When

its violated, both in the letter and the when in successive even spirit, crises the courage of Governments, British and other, oozed out of their boots, even when aggressors, first In one continent and then in an- other, broke the peace and them- selves were not broken, would be prepared at the end of this war, for something much bigger and bolder and stronger than that most disappointing League,

The opposition to bold federal schemes will not come from those Jike-minded with us. It will come from faint hearts, from the vested notional interests, from the tradi- tionalists, and the isolationists in all lands, from those who ask "Am I my brother's keeper?" and don't know the answer.

The obvious sensible solution is to set up a world government, and drown all national sovereigntles. But this, I fear, will be too simple and too quick for the treaty makers. If so, we shall have to do, our best with something less.

We must be prepared to take the most we can get of powers for a supernational authority-or for several such authorities-to conso- Hdate that conquest, and then strive to enlarge it. We must seek to dilute national sovereignty, it wo cannot drown it, to the greatest extent possible over the widest.. possible area. Fox, Indeed, as has been well said, we must choose in future between sovereignty and security,

ex-

structure, less complete full world government, would both serve our immediate purpose, and allow of future tension? It should, I think, con- tain two elements, first a Universal World Society, with certain minim- um obligations and minimum rights of membership, to which all "no- tions should belong. And, second,. within this world-wide member- ship regional groups, more closely knit, in Europe and in other parts of the world, with much more pool- Ing of sovereignty

much and a higher level of common obligations and rights than in the wider body. Both parts of this dual structure will, I think, be found to bo neces- sary.

Some critics of the League of, Nations say that it falled because It was too universal. But, in truth, it was never universal. The United States was never a mem- ber. Germany did not Join u 1920, nor Russia tili 1934. Japan, Germany, and Italy left during the period of decline after 1931 be- cause they chose aggression and treaty-breaking rather

But because the. League never universeat and, in particular because the United States was pol a member, it was never possible to make League membership atirac- tive, from the economie standpoint.

The obvious, principle would have been that of the Open Door, and rights of equal access to colonial markets and raw materials should be availablo to Lenguo

members and to them only. In ihal cnse to leave or to be expelled from the League would be to lose solid economic advantages. But such a policy of discrimination was never practical politics, given that the United States preferred to slay outside the League.

The minimum obligations would no doubt have to be less than those of the League Covenant, but should hope that they might at least include the duty to consult with other nations in the event of aggression or threat of aggression, the duty to submit all international disputes to predetermined peaceful procedures, and the duty to expel, and thereby to deprive of the above economic advantages, found guilty of aggression or other grave breach of its international undertakings.
