Rumblings of Revolution. “Two of the oldest empires in- the world—China and Russia—are in a welter of anarchy,” the soficitor gen- eral said. “And in even the most stable gavernments the underground rum- blings of revolution may be heard. But of still greater significance to the welfare of civilization is the complete subversion during the world war of nearly all the international laws which have been built up. This flerce war of extermination has put us back —temporarily, let us hope—a thou- sand years. Victors and vanquished are involved in a common ruin. “The morale of our industrial civili- zation has been shattered; work for work’s sake. as the -most glotious vrivilege of human faculties, has gone. The aversion to work !s the great evil of the world today. The less a man does the less he wants to do. The whole history of the mechanical era is a persistent struggle for more pay and shorter hours. and today it has culminated in world-wide ruin. In my iudzment the economic catastrophe of 1921 is far greater than the politico- military catastrophe of 1914." Accompanving the indisposition to work. the solicitor zeneral continued, has been a “mad desire for pleasure such as has not been seen within the memory of living man.

To rekindle in men the love of work for work's sake and the spirit of discinline would do much to snlve the problem.
