THE NEXT PEACE TREATY.
"Young men under 40 should make the next peace treaty,” said the Bishop of Chichester, Dr. George Bell, in an address at Brighton, when he declared that in 1918 it was the old men who exacted their pound of flesh. "It has been the old men in all countries, with some exceptions, who have controlled European and world views of international affairs during the last twentyyears, ’’ Dr. Bell continued. "Too often the old men—and some young men, too—bring the mind of the competent policeman to'bear on problems for which the imagination of a prophet is required. Tt will, I hope, be the young men under 40 who will be asked to sit on both sides of the conference table and make a young men’s peace. It is the young men who have to suffer hardship and havei to live and help rebuild the future world, and it is the young men who should have the making of the peace.”
