THE

CASE

HE Discussion which Mr. Clarence Streit's book, "Union 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. Morcover, 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

peaceful life

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

DECORATION

I think I have dealt pretty thoroughly with interior house decoration in the past. Wo will now carry on with the exterior.

Home owners only are in- cluded in this treatise because, 25 we all know, a landford .doesn't care if the front wall falis in so long as ho gets his rent.

W will start with the Vgate. If it has rusty hinges and the latch won't work. just tear it off and throw it away, It's useless, anyway. Anybody can open

it.

All cracks in the outer walls shaild be filed in. Soap is not bad, and it is easy to work, al- though the house during

The roof should be gone over thoroughly, preferably in the day- time. One is able to render one's self conspicuous crawling about the roof with a hurricane Jamp in the middle of the night.

The first thing to do when in- spection of the roof is contemplated Is to go somewhere and borrow a ladder. This takes about throu

days.

Always get your wife to hold the ladder, so that you have something sof to fall on in case of occi- denis.

HAVING reached the roof, ex- amine the guttering carefully for birds' nests, tennis bally, stones. and empty run flasks.

We then come_to_the_ruvf.proper, If it is tiled roof it is better to stay on the ladder. This also ap- plies to slate roofs.

Corrugated irun roofs may be inspected with a fair amount of impunity, and you can always get someone to call the loent are bri- gade to get you down again..

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

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

People who nonchalantly raise and shut windows would be anton- ished if they could see the inner works. Pulleys, ropes, and lead weighis ore necessary to open a window. Brute strength is neces- sary to shut it.

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

The opposition to bold federal schemes will not come from those like-minded with us. It will come from faint hearts, front the vested national Interests, from the tradi- tionalists, and the isoiatlonists 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 sovereigniles, 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 nuthority-ur for several such authorities to conso- lidate that conquest, and then strive to enlarge it. We' must seek to dilute national sovereignty, if we cannot drown it, to the greatest extent possible over the widost possible area, For, indeed, as has been well guld, we must choose in future between sovereignty and security.

A Universal World Society, with certain minim um obligations and minimum rights of membership, to which all nn- tions should belong. And, second, within this world-wide member-

ship regional groups, more closely knit, in Europe and in other of the world, with much more s

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

Some critles of the League of Nations say that it failed because it was too universal. But, in truth, It

But because the League was never universal and, in particular because the United States was not a member, it was never possible to make League membership attrac- tive from the coonomis standpoint.

The obvious principle would have been that of the Open Door, and rights of equal necess to colonial markets and raw materials should be available to League

members and, to them only. In that ense to leave or to be expelled from the Lengue would be to lose solid economic advantages. But such a

And thus, on those occasions when strong cen- trifugal forces showed themselves at Geneva, there was no steady pull be- the other way. I was partly chuse membership seemed to be worth so little, either in normal or abnormal times, that in the end the League fell to bits. And for this Inherent weakness in the Langue the United States bears almost all the responsibility.

Hence the need at the conclusion of this war for a world-wide Inter- national society, membership of which should be an indispensable condition for the enjoyment of the indicated advantages economic above. The minimum obligations would no doubt have to be less than those of the League Covenant, but I should hope that they might at least include the duty to

consult

with other nations in the event of aggression or rent 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, any State found guilty of aggression or other grave breach of its international undertakings. It is this last duty which, it States are to be held within the Society and given mu- good! terial inducements to bo neighbours, is crucial.
