Although Japan was one of the nations which rendered a signal ser- vice to humanity by its part in the Washington conference, Dr, Yoruzu Oda, the Japanese judge on the Per- manent Court of International Jus- tice, is not very optimistic regarding the prospect of future world peace, according to the sentiments lio expressed at the opening session of the court. Albert Thomas, chief of the International Labor Bureau at Geneva, had expressed the hope that this court would quickly settle the re- lationships, and that from its efforts would come a new era, but the Jap- anese representative did not agree. Progress, in his opinion, would be slow, and the golden age would not likely result from the establishment of the court. This opinion is interesting, not sd much because of itself, as by reason of the comment which followed it. The reasons put forward by Dr. Oda are worthy of comment, AS8 a prac- tical man, he said, he considered world peace a dream, an idealist's dream. 'But he was quick to add that he considered it a dream $5.00 00 worth pursuing. It is a fact that for 1,909 years world peace has been the dream of idealists. It was the dream of the young Nazarene who walked the shores of the Sea of Galilee and qall- ed the fishermen to be iis followers, it was the dfeam for which He lived and died, and it has been a dream for which His disciples laboured For all these centuries it has been a dream ever present in the minds of idealists and philosophers, but al- ways rudely shattered as generation after generation came and went with a never-ceasing tumult of warfare and strife. It is a dream which has ,|never come true because no real ef- fort was made to put it on a prac- .|tical basis and make it come true. When the great war began in 1914, it looked as if the dream would be completely swept away by the rush of nations at each other's throats, but out of the ashes of the war the dream was reborn, and reborn in such a way as to give hope that it may be brought to fruition. No dream can ever come true un- less the dreamer puts it into action and works to make it come true. Even idealists cannot make their ideals productive of results unless they are prepared to work for them. It is in this fact that there is hope that the dream of world peace may come true, The idealists have been seeking, and, in a large measure have found, practical means of work- ing out their ideals. It was in work- ing for this ideal of world peace that Woodrow Wilson sacrificed health, popularity and position. It was in an effort to put this 'deal into prac- tice that the Washington Conference was called together. It was in an effort to find a medium for the appli- cation of this ideal that the Perman- ent Court of International Justice was brought into being. The ideal- ists are becoming practical. They are working as well as dreaming, and there is hope that with all these new agencies for Internationa! harmony now in operation, the dreams of nine- teen centuries may yet come true. LIFE IN MOTION PICTURE OOLONIES, The one great profession which is in the Mmelight at the present time is that of the motion picture actors and actresses. During the past year there have been several unsavoury scandals connected with it, and the disclosures of the recent Arbuckle case, and the still more recent mur der of William Desmond Taylor, have brought the searchlight of publicity rupon many of the undesirable feat- ures of Me in motioh picture col- ondes, and the facts which have been Tand bare do not reflect great credit upon the profession. From all sides there has come & condemnation of alleged orgies of vice which are sald to be part and parcel of the life of the people who ane engaged in the of this profession. The many di vorces, the recent scandals, and any- i" THE DAILY BRITISH WHICG. pe ee eS jority are suffering for the sins of the few, and this is accentuated by the unfortunate fact that some of the offenders have been nationally- known stars. Their names were 'household words, their every move wag made known by press agents, and the result was that when they became involved in anything of die repute, the facts were told in detail, with full plans and specifications, in newspapers all over the continent. The activity of the press agents has 'been a boomerang, for, after making these stars nationa] figures, the dis- ures, they were given more publicity than seems necessary. Simply be- cause they are movie stars, their de- partures from the paths of rectitude are blazoned abroad as typical of their profession. The bad deeds of the few are chronicled in detail, but | the circumspect, respectable lives of the many are overlooked. It ds unfortunate, for their sakes, that some of the leaders in the pro- fession allowed wealth and fame to turn their heads, but a few stars do not make the whole professfton, nor are the misdeeds of a few to be taken as an indication of the lives of the many, Taken in the mass, the mem- bers of the motion picture profession are probably no more wonthy of con- demnation than those of any other walk of life. They are simply vie- tims of the fact that they are ever before the gaze of the public, and are victims of the perverted attitude of the public mind which exagger- ates the evil and minimizes the good in everything. Censure on the actual guilty parties may be in order, but to spread the censure to the whole pro- fession seems to be a departure from the essentials of fair play and jus- tice, : Walt Mason THE PONT PHILOSOPHER GREATNESS. Our Leading Citizen is dead, the greatest man in Punkville, town; no {more we mark his gtately tread, no more we shrivel at his frown. He used to think--and so did we--that when he died all things would stop; oh, where would poor old Punkville be, without its anchor and its prop? And now he's resting in the shade. he's done with every mortal game; and Punkville reaches out for trade, and things go on about the same. Tin cars are scooting everywhere, at filling joints the gas is sold; men sit around the village square, and chew breathe the same old tale of love and sunny days to come, and Abner Jinks has gone to jail, accused of peddling stone-fence rum. The farm- er scours his rusty plow, the woods are full of candidates, the Blue Front store announces now a special sale of sleds and skates. A fire alarm still draws the throng, as does a ecrap betwixt two dogs; the solar sys tem humps along as though it hadn't slipped some cogs. Our Leading Citi- zen is dead, the pride and bulwark of our town, and o'er his calmly sleep- ing head we rear a saaft to hold him down. Oh, what an empty dream fs pride, and what a hollow thing fs fame! Our great man laid him down and died, and Punkville seems about the same, --WALT MASON.
