Evidences that the British general strike is not succeeding continue to appear the government reports from day to day additions to the transportation service and the im- provement generally in conditions. A spokesman for the government today said that important defections have oceurred among the railway men, al- though the main body of the strikers remain out. In other trades, too, there have leen numerous returns to work despite the union leaders’ declaration that the ranks ‘of the strikers are unbroken. It is believed that these defections from the strike are in large measure due to two rmal declarations thut the strike illegal. One is that of Sir John Simon, one of Lngland’s most no- table publicists and legal authorities, and the other is an opinion ren- dered on the bench in the chancel- lery division in London by Justice Astbury, who held that the strike is illegal and that those inciting it or participatiniz in it are not protected by the laws regulating trade unions. Justice Astbury’s ruling interjects an important element into the strike. It was made in grant of an injunc- tion against certain branch leaders of the sailors and firemen's union, re- straining them from calling out their men without orders from the general headquarters of the union. Thus the injunction appears in Eng- lish strike history as it has hereto- fore appeared in this country. This particular case decided by Justice Astbury is not sweepingly inclusive, but it has had a strong moral effect upon the strikers, who, it is reported, have been made to realize that the general strikg # sympathy with the as corvelated | i thou- | THE grievances of the coal miners s not |candidate.

THere are more than a quarter of a billion Moslems in the world, and the number has increased in the few years. The Moslem doctrine teaches hatred for “Christian dogs.” so that the possibilities of antagonism are far greater than mere numbers indicate, in case the caliphate be re- vived and all fanatical followers ral- lied into obedience. z ok ¥k The caliph holds the same rank in Moslem circles as does the Pope in Christianity. He is the Successor of the Prophet,” except that the caliph's power was stronger temporally than spiritually — more like the holy Roman emperor. He was the “pro- tector of the faith,” extending it with the power of the sword. His authority knew no national bound- aries. With the formation of the Republie of Turkey, national bound- aries became tangible. With the re- linquishment of extraterritoriality in Turkey by the Western powers Turkish nationality was emphasized. Then came the relinquishment by Great Britain of her hold over Egypt and the project of the British to build great irrigation works in the Sudan at the headwaters of the Nile, with which to irrigate a mil- iion acres of cotton land at the ex- pense of the Nile floods, on which Lgypt bases its existence. All these developments within the last five years have tended to draw the Mos- lem world away from the Western powers and to encourage the cry, “Arabia for the Arabians!” “Egypt for the Egyptians!” “Islam for the Moslems!” * X ¥ X Yet they have lacked central lead- ership.

An interview with the post-war cf cellor of Germany, Mars, stands fi Mussolini, Poincare, Rumsay Mac- Donald, the premier of \da, the premier and foreign minister of Japan, the former prime minister of China, officials and leaders in the Philippines, the President of the United States—these all, the general problem. examine it each in the light of his untry’s part in a program of peace—in the light, ton, of a concert of effort toward this end. The whole sums to a be ideas, sentiments, argument, b 3 sourced in both the kast and the | West, all Dbearing upon the real { foundations of international peace, {upon those foundations that lle deep in the hope of a civilized world, deep in the nature civ | ilization itself. It is not easy to con- cefve a more considerable body of information upon any given theme 1 lating to human welfare than this one. so varied in source, and centered in o wide a_range of authoritative statement. Edward Price Bell has srocured 2 political study of surpass- !ing range that bears immediately upon the present and the near vears of the future. Apart from the substance of these interviews, Mr. Bell has pre. served each of these leaders in his own personality, in his own surround- ings, so that each interview becomes a highly dramatic scene in the midst of which a vital figure spreads hi | country and its purposes out for in- spection. Quite in the nature of an adventure is it to move from Europe out of the Orient and across to the Philippines and America seeking com mon points of agreement concerning the v of peace in human relation ) respect ships. ¥ % The President of the United States, in an introduction to “World Chancel- leries.” sa) “In these carefully i wrought statements of sentiment and opinion we have, I conceive, a peculiar- |1y suggestive and important achiev iment in the field of international con- |cillation.” * * * *“We need an inter- national mind stably balanced against sudden shocks. It is the distinctive virtue of these discussions, in my view. that they tend to give us such an international mind. One feels their earnestness, their sympathetic quality, their siflcerity. One is moved by their eloquence. Almost every major prin- ciple and problem of civilized life fail within their range, and their outlook consistently is that of the common interests of mankind. If racial sus- ceptibilities and nationalistic stand- points are urged with vividness and candor they thus are urged, as T read them, only in the hope that the world, by gaining fuller knowledge of fte parts, may be less ignorant of itself as a whole.” * * * “World peace, a world affair, stands or falls by world opinion. * * * Public opinion rooted in right feeling has countless victories to its credit. Its triumphs increase through the generations. It is waging a winning fight in a thousand direc- tions. It is widening the scope and cementing the foundations of human- ism in industry and liberty in politics. Give it the light of the spirit and the light of the mind! Do this, and we shall march without halting to the permanent relegation of war “America, I need not say, is fer- vently for peace. It is written in her treaties, in her diplomacy and in eve: atterance that reflects the emotions and convictions of her people. Who can misunderstand the moral, the les- son, the evidence of the Washington Conference? Our attitude of mind is still that of the Washington Confer- ence. And hence it is that we welcome every exhibition of peaceful purpose, whether #t show ftseif {n the region of theory or (n the region of practice."
