They must not attempt the hazardous feat of sitting on the "two stools" of Imperialism and Democracy at the same time. They must let nothing becloud their vision of Canada's duty and responsibility.

They must allsw no sentimental regard for outworn tradition, no racial prejudice, no pressure from any source whatsoever impinge their judgement of Canada's rightful place in the league of nations. They must stand four square to the winds for Canada, for Democracy, and for Liberty and Justice to all people; impenetrant to any commercial, racial or territorial squalls that would blow them aside from their high duty to humanity. The Grsat Objectives To adequately perform this lofty world service they will keep in view the five great objectives, the final attainment of 1. World peace. 2.

World democracy. 3. World union. 4. World progress.

5. World fraternity. PART THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF VICTORY The hour of victory is the effulgent one for magnanimity. The Allied victory must not sink Into a Roman triumph, for the hour is exceedingly grave and fraught with solemn responsibilities. There are vast problems to solve; gigantic peace tasks to perform.

There are 250,000,000 of people in the world today who must be supplied with food for at least one year, perhaps two, and if the evils hunger breeds are not to endanger the peace and order of Europe, and destroy the first fruits of freedom's triumph, the starving millions of the liberated and of the vanquished peoples must be fed. True, the drums, of freedom's strife are hushed, the fifes of war are stilled, but the rich, ripe fruits of freedom are not yet garnered. It may be that we have not yet attained universal peace. There may be necessary on the part of the victors before the peace harvest is ripened, the exercise toward the vanquished of the nobler, the diviner attributes of patience, toler Brs. Not ono to write even a "note?" Iladst thou no concern when the fate of sixty-five million Toplei and of half the continent of Europe was debated and decided? Then, way was thy voice hot heard at Versailles witn that of England.

France; Italy and the United States? Hadst thou nu tongue skilled to speak thy people's will on peace, Canada? In war It was not thus, my country. Not at Courcelette, at St. Jul-ien, at Vimy, at Cambrai, at Valenciennes or at Mons! Nor at the Marne! There thy battering, guns proclaimed thy power that day, while thy immortal sons (in person!) delivered thy might, thy will, thy resolution and thy consecration. The original firsts did not strike their hammer blows in freedom's fight, Canada, by wireless clicks, or by writing "notes" 3,000 miles distant from flying shrapnel and whizzing grenade, or by "consultation a year previous!" s. Canada's Days of Glory When the challenge rang out: "On to Paris!" Thrilling with youth's ardor and manhood's high devotion, thy unconquerable sons threw themselves resistlessly against the foe, although they knew that that day also, "the paths of glory led to the grave!" But the Uhlans did not pass! Nor ehouldst thou ever forget, my Canada, that on that deathless day, Paris was saved, and with Paris, France, and with France the world! No, Nor how at Ypres, when the bleeding earth rocked with war's most awful cataclysm, most appalling horrors, and the pitiless heavens poured down their answering death bolts, how Calais "was saved, and with Calais Kr.gland.

and with England Canada, the United States and a second time the world! in Central Europe, we cannot expect the ideal republic to spring up thert over night. L'ENVOI Viewed in the light of the titantd tasks it will set itself to perform, pation, the radiance from our torch of democracy is "the pillar of fire" toward which they gaze in their wanderings, as they are driven helplessly hither and thither in the darkness of the political wilderness into which they have been so rudely precipitated. These sadly perturbed peoples need the inspiration and guidance of our experience in democracy even as they require food for their starved bodies; but in proffering this aid we must exercise a profound patience and consideration toward them in the difficulties and perplexities of their transition from autocracy to democracy. For when all the brilliantly trained diplomatists and statesmen of old Europe failed to keep Europe out of war the past half decade, with untried masters at the helm of affairs MR.

THE MIGHTY ADVENTURE A LEAGUE OF NATIONS "The only solution of this titanic world struggle, the only peace-way to permanent peace, that we can see, is in the organization of a League of Nations, in which the integral league is a protection against the aggression of any member, and, inversely, each member of the league finds its security in the integrity of the whole league." (From "The Peace-Way," 1915, by "In my judgment a League of nations is absolutely essential to permanent peace." (Lloyd Oeorge). Upon the necessity, as well as the desirability of a League of Nations to assure and to preserve world peace, humanity's voice is well nigh unanimous, but as to the manner in which that league is to come into existence, and how it is to be constituted, no detailed scheme has as yet been evolved.

The issue is of such far-reaching importance as upon its successful consummation depends a world's hope of permanent peace that it is bound to be one of the leading questions to be discussed at the approaching Peace Congress, and one that should be if not wholly settled at least carefully outlined before the final terms of peace are signed. Inasmuch as the present war was waged for the maintenance of certain high ideals, and not for territorial gains, in the deliberations of the l'eace Congress, ideals should precede territorial aspirations. The League Discussed Basic Principles What, might be asked, are the basic principles which might be expected to make such a league effective and enduring? What should its constitution be? What nations should compose it? 1. Such a league, to be effective and enduring, must be founded on the unchanging principles of righteousness, of justice, and or fair-play to all who enter it. 2.

Self-determination of mode of life of all peoples must be a chief corner-stone. 3. Cognizance must be taken of the national problems peculiar to each member. 4. The rights of the weaker nations must receive equal consideration with those of the stronger.

n. It must be truly democratic in spirit. 6. Secret diplomacy the fatal error which in the past has so often embroiled Europe in wars, must have no part in it. Constitution of the League 1.

It should be de facto a league of free nations, as it designs to be a free league of nations, a sort of mighty adventure in world-benefaction, upon which the nations agree to embark as a goodly, friendly company of mariners on the ever-changing idal seas of an economic, industrial, commercial and territorial, peace-preserving enter- uie successiui accunipusuuieiiL oi un enduring league of nations, and through it the achievement of permanent world peace, will be th most stupendous, the most magnifl cent feat of statesmanship ever atJ tempted by an assemblage of states men, or a world of men. If the league of nation succeeds only in abolishing all wars, and in striking forever the knell of autocracy and militarism, In world bene faction, it will stand second only to the Magna Charta, and the coming upon earth of the Prince of Peace the Savior of mankind. and that in so doing the high privilege has been ours to sweep clear the path of democracy, for them, as for the world. The Testing Hour of the Nations In this responsible hour of victory the supreme testing time of the nations' moral fabric let none but the loftiest ideals have place in our deliberations and decisions, and let the spirit of universality taught by the Divine Democrat govern our actions, for remember that "of one blood hath He made all nations of men for to dwell on earth." "Ages we have tried the way of swords, And earth is iceary of hostile hordes. Come, let tis try the Master's way: Comrades, read out Ills words again; They are the only hflpe for men! Love, and not hate, must come to birth; Christ, and not Cain, must rule the earth!" Canada's Torch of Democracy Finally, Canada must help advance the work of idealism, heralded by the cessation of hostilities.

As a democratic nation, it is our peculiar duty in the responsible hour of victory, to hold steadily aloft the torch of greater democracy just being glimpsed by the older civilizations. To the war-crippled multitudes and the new-born states of Central Europe groping in the strange new light of what to them is yet the early dawning of political emanci- ance, compassion and helpfulness, if Nor yet, how the intrepid Bishop- tho manace of an angry people in Central Europe is to be obviated.

The beat of the alarm drum is never welcome, but better undue wakefulness, than that a false complacency should lull us to the dangers that threaten.

The real strength and security of the league, in the last analysis, will depend upon the principle of the axiom that the whole is greater than any of its parts, while each unit must rely for its security upon the integrity of the whole league, which in a sense it constitutes a defensive weapon against itself! 4. We do not believe that the league can as some would believei be evolved by the will of a few strong nations, upon whose invitation after these big nations have formulated all their policies the other nations shall be invited to join the league. Each member of the league should have part in its formation be a builder of the league. For to offer "a cut and dried programme" at the outset would breed distrust, and distrust is fatal to unity of purpose and to progress. On the contrary, it should grow into a league by the concerted will of all who propose to enter it.

Leaving aside the altruistic aspect, on purely protective grounds, and in the interest of the universal family of mankind and of world order (in the writer's opinion), the league should include all the belligerents, as well as the neutrals. For leaving "enemy" nations outside the league would render unfeasible the ultimate destruction of all armaments an ideal long cherished by mankind while a mere reduction of arms would still mean an armed fear in Europe. PART II. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF A LEAGUE OF NATIONS AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF PEACE In treating of so conglomerate and variable an organization as a League of Nations, where great aggregates of men of diverse opinions and Judgments, and with an infinitude of interests at once similar and dissimilar come (for the first time, perhaps, in the history of some of the groups) into close union, and share a community of interests, the psychology of the matter cannot bo disregarded, and that unaccountable, inherent phenomenon which we term variability in human nature must be carefully reckoned with. In considering the possible permanency of a League of Nations, this, we think, may be said: That until nations organize and co-operate for peace with the same sinking and fusing of the national interest into the international as tho opposing groups did in tho great war, while diplomatists may succeed in evolving some sort of a League of Nations, statecraft alone will not suffice; jurisprudence in itself will fail to hold it together; and unless the magic cordon uniting the nations is an unchanging realization and a consummate acceptance of tho philosophy promulgated by Emerson in "Each and All," that All are needed by each Nothing is fair or good alone it will be a League of Sand, with the inevitable fate of the "House built upon sand" awaiting it.

The Philosophy of Peace Eut when nations shall study the philosophy of peace and practise it assiduously as they so long have the science of war; when they shall consider it worth while to devote to peace acts the colossal treasures of life and wealth they sacrificed to war, when, in brief, they catch such a vision of international goodwill that the international conscience approximates the national, then will the league be an enduring one, and that will be the Gordian knot that time will not untie. When that glad time arrives, then shall universal peace-no longer, a hope, a dream girdle the whole earth, and then, and then only, shall we have the reign on earth of the Prince of Peace, and the long-separated, universal family of nations re-united in a world league of sympathy, friendship and peace. PART III. CANADA, IN FREEDOM'S FIGHT "Together ire have home this tremendous burden in the fight for justice and liberty." (The King message to Canadians.) While all Canada rejoiced with the entire world at the cessation of the hostilities of tho great war, still among thinking people the query "sticks," the mystery remains unsolved why 33 statesmen of the nation fighting for over four years in full strength of luen and treasure with the Allied armies, sat at tiie Allied council table at Versailles when the armistice was drafted? While the United Statea only 19 months in the war had its representative there! As one of the original firsts, in freedom's ranks, was not Canada also entitled to representation there? Did Canada's participation in freedom's titanic struggle cease with tho suffering and sacrifice, the shouting and tumult of war? Are Canadians to assume always the role of fighters, and never of counsellors? Always to be destructionists and never constructionists? And jet tho genius of the Canadian people and particularly of western Canadians is essentially constructive. "And through all the wreckful storms that cloud the brow of war, Still shino martial faith, and courtesy's bright star!" Iladst thou 500,000 soldiers of freedom my Canada, and not one free son to deliver, in person, thy Tickets can be had from D.

E. Black, Tom Campbell, or any local Shriner be irksome and such as they feel the vanquished peoples do not merit yet for the sake of the future order and peace of the world, where they clash, world-interests must transcend purely national ones, and the great nations must allow no selfish motives or sordid aims to cause them to deflect from the cloud-way of justice, honor and righteousness. And, if not wholly but of altruistic motives, yet in magnanimity of spirit, and in humanity's high name, we must feed and help that suffering, starving, civilian army of 65.000,000 people of a once sovereign empire. If we, the Allied victors, do not this, wherein are we superior in moral vision in our hour of victory to the pagan Roman in his triumph, whose highest delight consisted in the humiliation of the conquered? Britain's Glory Rather, let this be our chief glory, our highest recompense, our supreme crown of laurel the ideal for which we contended, and that we prize more than military supremacy, more than territorial sovereignty this, that in breaking the power of militarism and overturning the juggernaut of autocracy, we accomplished the political liberation of the people who, fighting blindly (and bravely) at autocracy's command, unsheathed their swords against the very freedom we have made possible for them.

It is your sacred duty, Canada, to "those who gave their today for the world's tomorrow" to do your full part to bring to perfection the fruits of thei rsaenfices that they be not in vain. PART IV CANADA AT THE PEACE CONGRESS In war preparations Canada was from the first tragic days of the world tragedy conspicuously and energetically active, but in preparedness for the tremendous issues of world peace she has been conspicuously and deplorably inert. It was a grave oversight on the part of this Dominion that we did not have from the moment of entrance into the fateful struggle a representative or a commission to study peace data, so that our representatives at the peace congress would be fully sized, not only of the political issues, but that they might know of a certainty the "will of the Canadian people on the great racial, territorial, agricultural, industrial and commercial questions that so vitally affect Canada's future.

Such a board of inquiry the United States has had for a year. Hut what was left undone cannot now be done, and the best way, it would seem, to amend the omission, at this late date, would be for the Dominion government, immediately, to appoint a commission (representative of each province) to act as an informative and consultative board at home, with our representatives overseas, in order that what words our representatives speak at the great congress of the nations may intelliirently express the crystallized thought of the best minds in the Dominion. The People's, War This has been pre-eminently the people's war. It was they who floundered in the deepest mud of Flanders trenches, and upon them the miseries of war fell most heavily, and so the peace to follow, if it is to be a just one. should be a people's peace.

Therefore onr representatives should be satisfied that they are expressing the people's will the considered opinion of the millions of the creat common people of Canada and not the selfish desires of a few privileged classes. Proportionately Canada has sacrificed as much as any belligerent and is entitled to speak boldly at the peace conference. The British government will have a staff of 400 persons in Paris for the peace congress. (The Canadian staff we presume will be proportionate?) As she did to her everlasting glory in Freedom's fray, so Canada must take her rightful place and do her full part in the peace tasks of the country. Then be not silent there, my country, when the paramount Issues of history are determined, issues which will vitally affect your future as well as that of the new-born states of Europe.

Stand erect. Canada! Besolve to rise to the full measure of the stature pet by your hemic defenders at the Marne, at the Somme, and at the Aisne!
