As an Invercargill doctor was motoring along a city street .a snowball shattered his windscreen. On beholding a group of boys near by he got out of his car and began a friendly lecture on the danger of throwing snowballs at passing cars. He had not said a great deal before an angry woman, the mother of one of the boys, appeared on the scene and adopted the role of lecturer, castigating the doctor for being a spoil-sport and for forgetting the days of his youth.

The chief present international risk is that the collective system will slowly degenerate (to the accompaniment of plausible excuses and pretexts) into something that is neither collective nor a system, asserts the "Manchester Guardian.” The merits of the League method were simplicity and universality. Any ordinary man could understand the basic notion of the pooling of force against an aggressor, the principle of a mutual insurance society open on equal terms to all nations. But who, apart from professional diplomatists (and how many even of them?), will know where any country stands vhen Europe has finally plunged itself into a maze of regional agreements, mutual-assistance pacts, bilateral treaties, non-aggression pledges duplicated and de-duplieated, and all the other machinery by whose creation our statesmen confess their Inability to work a general scheme? Mr Arthur Henderson has done well to stress again the truth that “peace is indivisible,” the responsibility for preserving it equally Indivisible, and any attempt to divide it an “invitation to disown the covenant and to open the door for war in Europe.” There can be no permanent peace or security for any of us except within a general system o. rights and obligations “open on equal terms to all nations.”
