THE QUIET CORKER. “THE COCK-EYED WORLD” AN UNSCREENED VERSION (Written for THE SUN by the Rev. Charles Chandler.) QOME say that the trouble lies in this, and others say that it lies in that. But there is a great diversity of opinion as to what is actually wrong with the world. A hundred men could diagnose the case, and although each diagnosis would differ in many particulars, yet each would probably possess a modicum of truth. The religionists would say many things, some laying the emphasis here, and others laying it there. Economists would likewise be at variance. Every succeeding half-century finds a new school springing up. Sociologists 'with their various theories about man as a social being would deal with the problem in a number of ways. There would only be one point of agreement between the lot of them: “There is something wrong with the cock-eyed world." Meanwhile the earth completes its journey round the sun in 565 days or thereabouts, and almost everything that man makes vanishes within a century of its having been made. Nothing lasts—not even the problems that we are at the moment considering. For example, fifty years ago a pressing domestic problem was how to keep air out of the house. Sausage-like contrivances were jammed against every crack and crevice. Now the problem is to get enough air in. Most of our problems revolve around food, clothing, and shelter, the three primary needs of man. Whereas our ancestors used to go about supplying these needs primarily with a club, we have arrived at a state of civilisation where the struggle is not one whit the less keen, although the method of acquiring these basic necessities is a deal less pre-historic. The battle drives some to despair; others have so much that with the most wanton extravagance they are unable to live up to their incomes. Inequalities, while they seem inevitable, are at least the motive springs of a great deal of our present day unrest. What will be the outcome of it all? How can we make the cock-eyed world see straight? Next week we will deal with one method, which consists of lifting the emphasis from the “right of man," and shifting them on to the “duties of man," as suggested by Mazzini, the Italian patriot. NEXT WEEK: RIGHTS AND DUTIES
