RAINBOW OF HOPE

PEACE THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER. MR CHAMBERLAIN PRAISED. Ideologies there have always been and countless generations of mankind have fought and died for them, writes Mr Eden Phillpotts in a letter to the Times. They drift like clouds above the children of men, now lighted by the rainbow of hope, now riven by the lightnings of hate. But for ever they pass, and if at this juncture statesmanship and good willings were potent to speed certain shadows no more fitting moment can be imagined. Italy is warweary; Germany, having regained her self-respect, sighs for the return of national liberty and international friendships. Peace is the universal prayer, and in a peace of reason we may give and take, bring truth and humanism to the dictatorial States, and win from them the qualities of self-' denial and concentrated purpose that democracies are prone to lack. To hold apart and criticise from Press and platform is vain; to get together and compose opposites on , a reciprocal basis of understanding lies within the province and power of us all. No ill can come of conference for those willing to confer. The iron is hot; why cooi it with sour breath or the frost of diplomatic delays, when a way to revived hope of closer unities has been discovered? Mr Chamberlain did not manoeuvre for position; he created a new one by an inspiration of pure righteousness that has yet to win the reverence it deserves.
