The Stratford Evening Post WITH WHICH IS INCORPORATED THE EGMONT SETTLER. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1911. THE RACE CONGRESS.

Lord Weardale delivered tlie opening address at the Universal Races Congress at the end of last month. “Public Opinion” holds that in some ways this is the most remarkable of the many congresses convened daring an age which is carrying the idea of international gatherings to its logical limits. It is world-wide in scops; it embraces every considerable branch of the human family; it will bring together on the same platform representatives not only of those races which claim the leadership of the civilised world, and those which have within recent memory made a place for themselves alongside the dominant peoples, but of those also which we are apt to regard as still remaining in the stage of infancy or tutelage. As Mr J. M. Robertson, M.P., said: “Let dispassionate discussion lay bare the great fact that in all races, however great be the difference set up by their past evolution, the gorms of political aspiration arc con-natural, and a step will be taken towards that reciprocity of action, that code of sympathy which is but the application to national and international life of the principles and instincts which make individual men moral beings.”
