"LEAGUE NEEDS A SOUL"
The outbreak of the World War disclosed the reality, even if it also disclosed the weakness, of world unity, writes Canon C. E. Raven in the Listener. It proved that, as a result of the exploration and opening up of all countries and of their mutual dependence, no one of the great nations could act without producing effects upon all the rest. Christians, commissioned to a world-wide fellowship and penitent for their failure to rise above a merely national patriotism, have realised their responsibility for maintaining an allegiance in which racial and national loyalties are transcended. The League of Nations ueeds a soul. Only on the basis of men's deepest experience can the nations reach a union that will endure. Only as they are agreed in their views of the meaning and character of good life can they hope to co-oparate for its attainment.
