Of course there is Obvious truth in the assertion that the immediate settlement of peace conditions must, to a large extent, be left in the hands of those who brought the war to a successful con elusion. But the relief from pressing anxiety when this horrible strife is over, and the feeling of gratitude to those who have delivered us must not be allowed to gild and consecrate, as it were, systems proved effete and policies which intelligent men recognise as bankrupt. The moment Of deliverance will be too unique and too splendid to be left in the hands of men who have grown, if not cynical, at all events a little weary Of the notorious defects of humanity, and who. Are, perhaps naturally, tempted to allow European progress to fall back into the Old well-worn ruts. It is the young men who must take the matter in hand, with their ardent hopes and their keen imagina tion, and only so far as they believe in the possibility Of a great amelioration will they have any chance of doing yeoman service for humanity.
