EXTRACTS FROM “BROTHERHOOD.”

THE OUTLAWRY OF WAR. “Conversations have taken place between the U.S.A. and France, con cerning a possibility of outlawing war between these two great powers. And Sir Austen Chamberlain has expressed approval. These conversations, indeed, are not likely to result immediately in any “all-in” arbitration treaty, but they can scarcely fail to do some good. They will call public attention to a subject of immense inportanee to the whole world. The more it is discussed, the more will public opinion be educated upon it. Why should not the U.S.A. and Great Britain lead the way by a treaty that would set a splendid example to all other nations? The fact that the U.S.A. Government insists upon keeping up a navy at least equal to the British one, looks as if there were mutual suspicion. Let these be cleared away by once-for-all outlawing war in the Englishspeaking world, as a step towards universal outlawing of war. This way lies the irue advance of civilisation.”
