AN INTERNATIONAL COURT
(Springfield Republican)
A trial of Horr Hohenzollern before an international court of justice
would have the excellent effect of demonstrating that such a court should bo
established and made to work. It would be an object lesson in the possibili
ties of international jurisprudence which very many are not disposed to admit
in connection with n league of nations. There is today no such thing as an
International court of justice capable of hearing criminal charges against in
dividuals or rulers of states. The arbitration tribunals of the past have been
much narrower in scope and significance.
CAPITAL AND LABOR
(London Daily Telegraph/
It has been clear for years past that any reasoned hopes of industrial
peace must depend’upon closer co-operation between capital and labor, and
upon the establishment of a working partnership between them, based not
merely on community of economic interest, but on a frank recognition of the
light of labor to have a voice in determining the conditions in which an in
dustry is carried on. The war has quickened the development of a sound
public opinion on this point as nothing else could have done. Rut we must
say that it seems sometimes as if there had been a more general conversion in
tlie ranks of capital as to its moral and social duties toward labor than there
liar been on the other side.* Iaibor has grown intensely ocnscious of it politi
cal power. That is visible at every turn. What is not so visible is an in
creasing consciousness of its duties and of the moral obligations which rests
upon it to abide by the undertakings given in its name.
BRITSH DEFENSE AND A MORAL ISSUE
(Chicago Times)
British opinion as to permanent peace conditions has two points of
stanch adherence already, it insists that the British navy shall continue as
i dominating factor on the seas. It insists that Great Britain will not tolerate
f"i' its own purposes and will regard with moral disapproval elsewhere a con
tinuance of conscription for army purposes.
The British are so actuated by their traditions that we cannot charge
them with conscious inconsistency of thought. It is unfair even to remind
them of what testimonies to their folly the fields of northern France and
Flanders bear—the hundreds of thousands of graves which testify to their
army fallacy. It is more gracious to understand the triumph In which the
end their navy had.
But their moral weight will be thrown against the instrument the lack
< f which caused them great suffering and loss. And their practical suggest
ion will be direc ted wholly to maintenance* of what saved the empire.
The empire would have been more easily saved, more economically
saved, if Great Britain in addition to being strong navally, which it must be,
Lad been strong in the trained citizenship of its people.
There would not have been other red than the red of poppies in FlanderV
fields if Great Britain had had a strong citizen army, trained and ready for
service. The British navy could sa\^thc empire. It could not save the people
* < 1 Great Britain. An army could nave done that.
Thus we have, with hundreds of thousands of British dead on the debit
side of the account, a British resolution to continue the policy which produced
the dead.
That policy is a British concern. It is of some consequence to us
even 4s a British policy, but it is of more consequence if it seeks to impose
itself upon the world as a moral question with its force arising not out ot
British wisdom but out of British tradition and nevertheless imposing itsell
upon a world which does not rest behind the British impregnability of naval
• armament rifs a moral insistence upon disarmament. ^
THE TIME TO DO THINGS
(By George Matthew Adams)
Many years ago, out on the Pacific coast, I met a short, thick-set quiet
, man. He was clean cut and modest. And his name was “Hugh McIntosh.”
This man, who looked very much like a minister, thought it would be fun to
conduct some boxing matches. But all of his friends said to him: “What
do you know about boxing?" He said: “Nothing. But I soon will know.”
So he put on a championship contest down in Australia—and made a
fortune out of it!
/
Then McIntosh decided he would go into the theatre business. Anti
.iyuia people said: "What does he know about entertaining people?” And
again McIntosh went ahead and showed them, by acquiring a string of five
theatres'—one In each state In Australia.
Hut still McIntosh was restless, and he thought he would start some
newspapers. Once more people said: "What does lie know about the pub
lishing business?" And once more McIntosh showed them—by Incoming the
biggest publisher in Australia!
This restless, indefatiguable man passed through New York City re
••(-n|ly, on his way to London, where ho was to sit at the conference table of
great important affairs.
Hut the large and lasting thing about this little story, is this—in Hugh
McIntosh’s own words, lie said: "If someone just says to me that I can’t
do a thing—that’s when 1 do It!"
Here is another little piece of philosophy from this man: "It doesn’t
matter what you tackle," he says. "It’s how much foresight and common
sense you have, that brings you out on top. The first money I made, was on
a foresight.”
But the only people who have foresight, pre those who do a thing after
i v • rvbody else has said they couldn’t.
