THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
A Fi; r.m.i: hi t Yitai, Si’.uik. Without having improved appreciably in virtue, mankind in our generation has got into it.s hands for the first time the tools by which it can unfailingly accomplish its own ilestructon; means of .self-annihilation incalculable in their effects, wholesale anti frightful in their character, and unrelated to any form of human merit. And the fires of hatred are burning deep in tile hearts of some. of the greatest peoples, fanned by continual provocation and unceasing fear. But we are enjoying a blessed respite of exhaustion, offering to the nations a final chnmo to control their „destinies and avert a general dcoin. Against the gathering but still distant tempest the League of Nations, desejded by the United States, scorned by Soviet Russia. flouted by Italy, distrusted equally h\- France and Germany, raises feebly but faithfully it.s standards of sanity and hope. Its structure, airy and unsubstantial. framed of shining but too often visionary idealism, is yet the onlv path to safety and salvation.— .Mr Winston Churchill.
