THE LEA6UE CONTROVERSY
ate controversy regarding the League of Nations but the impression is hard
of undesirable alternatives.
The contention of the dissenting senator's appears to be that the
destroys to some extent the sovereign independence of the nation in the
control of its own affairs.
Having no more than fragmentary information regarding the League,
it is impossible to say whether or not this is true, it appears, however, that
there are at least as many senator’s who do not support the view that it is
hostile to the interests of the United Sates, its there are who do: hence it
point than upon a sound display of facts.
which can hardly fail to suggest to the reflective mind that politics may lie
existing government.
Lodge, Knox. Sherman and practically all of the rest of the leading
Senator Johnson, who has lately appeared as an opponent of the League, is
a Republican and lias repeatedly displayed an inclination to criticize admin
istration activities. That such criticism may have been justified does not in
the least relieve the suspicion that it had a political basis. In this as in other
respects tlie fight appears to lie one that is animated largely by an intention

It is hard to conceive that only a small portion of the- Senate body is
ficult to understand why all the perspicacity is confined to the Republican
side of th* house.

THE HEEDLESS GENERATION
Things move so rapidly nowadays that we hardly have time to notice
them or realize their portent. Only the other day a little group "f daring
n on wafted themselves through the air across the broad Atlunti • n .. flimsy
structure of wood and cloth.
A few generations ago this would have caused men to hold their breath
in wonder at the miracle that had been wrought.
Now, despite the fact that this epoch making feat occurred less than
three weeks ago. the average citizen remembers it only when some reference
of the press or some conversational remark recalls it to his mind.
Although one of the most marvellous events in the history of man
kind. the wonder of it is almost forgotten and men refer to it in the same tone
they remark the state of the weather.
The importance, the stupendous possibilities it reveals: the daring re
quired in its accomplishment and, .above all. the fact that it is the greatest
manifestation that has yet occurred of man's triumph over the elements with
which he is surrounded, are lost to the average person.
Man's dream of uncounted centuries of the time when he could waft
himself on the wings of the breeze where e're he willed has boon accomplished.
The untenuous air is become man's pathway from continent to continent.
The world no longer possesses bounds which cannot be reached in airy flights.
No greater example of man's release from the thralldom of Nature has
ever appeared. Beside it the most remarkable achievement in processes of
human transportation becomes insignificant. It demonstrates that man has
all but broken the chain that bound him to the clod.
And yet. despite the marvellous wonder of it. the average person rem
embers it only as an incident—like a particularly rainy day or a great sea
fatality or a birth or wedding. To the scientist and acamedian it is doubt
less still the theme of deep interest and speculation and will probably continue
to attract their sninds until the wonder of it is dimmed by repetition. But
to the world in general it^ is merely something unusual that has passed. It
if doubtful if more than one in ten know the date on which it was ac
complished.
That such should he the case would seem at first glance to indicate that
humanity is singular unheeding, even of the things which help to shape their
destiny. The early forgetfulness of events of such momentous import as
suredly forms a most interesting theme for the moralist, as it suggots that
the race. Instead of growing wiser and more discerning is In reality becrikning '
thoughtless and inconsequent regarding everything but the things which iin- 1
pinge upon individual existence.
The truth of the matter is. however, that the human mind is hecom- <
ing surfeited with marvellous things. So many things of superlative import ,
are happening that only the greatest of them leave more than a transitory
impression.
Conditions of modern existence are such that the average person has
liitle time for speculation. Theories provide little appeal to the average mind '
for the reason thut the necessities of existence demand attention to concrete J
hings. It is only the tangible, the things that most directly affect one's
' * I fa re. that haves a mark on the average mind.
The man who is forced to devote the greater part of his waking
hough ts to the things which provide his means of existence has neither the
nterest or inclination to devote his leisure moments to consideration of things
vhich have no appreciable effect on his dally life.
It is indeed a sad commentary on the present generation that it is
;o heedless of the marvels with which it Is surrounded and appears to have
•ttlc or no interest in the events which do not directly contribute to its pleas*
ire or prosperity. The blame, however, lies not on the- individual or even on’
he mass, hut rather on the conditions which permit the average person so
ittle leisure to devote their mind to contemplation of impersonal tilings.
