THE WORLD CONSERVATIVE.

All over the world signs and symptoms of political and economic convalescence are unmistakable, says the London Daily Express. In every continent there is visible a definite swing toward settled ordeii and constructive stabilisation. The period of chaotic despair and anarchical indifference appears to bo nearing its end in all parts of the earth. The tendency to resort to violence and force seems to have spent its momentum. Everywhere the tide of revolution is ebbing. Man kind is in a conservative mood. It is more anxious to conserve than to destroy its resources. Probably this world-movement is mainly due to the natural recuperative instinct of humanity. The world is recovering from the shell-shock of the war. Its faith in itself is reviving. The tragic lesson of Russia has been learned by every peopel on earth. The sterility of anarchy has been demonstrated so irrefutably that in every country the anarch has become unpopular. The elections in Great Britain sounded a note of sanity which was instantly echoed in the United Slates. The American elections, like the British elections, put the lid on subversive and explosive policies, and gave commercial £nd industrial enterprise a guarantee of fair weather for a long way ahead. The German elections have made it plaiu (hat the German people are not outside the new frame of mind. France on her part, has vigorously manifested her determination to exterminate the virus of Communism.
