Truth (London): The fall of Britain, commercially, politically, intellectual- ly, and in other respects, dates, curi- ously enough, from the first coming of the Public School spirit, which is to say from the rise of the ideal of team work and the fetish of playing for one's side. These, with so much else that is ugly and cumbersome, arose in the Victerian era, emanated from the suitably ugly and unimagina- tive buildings of Rugby School in the era of Arnold, and thence, like some hideous blight, spread their malignity among the people of England. ------, "It Is better to trust in the mass of mankind than in a leader or a theory." --John Buchan. ---- That Johns Hopkins chemist who has made motor exhaust fumes Innoc- uous might now turn his attention to making them smell like fried chicken, : a Minard's Will Kill Corns.

In 1919 the Peace Treaty created new Minority problems throughout Central Europe by fits rearrangement of frontiers, Races which had formerly been domin. ant in a cbuntry suddenly found that they belonged to a country now ruled by a race over which they had held power, Bitter feelings followed in many cases and difficult problems as to the best methods of administration arose, Austria-Hungary was one country » seriously affected by the Peace Treaty of Trianon in 1920. For 1024 years the Hungarian nation was con- tained within boundaries which were destroyed by this Treaty. In 1910 Hungary had an area of about 120,000 square miles with more than 19 mil lion inhabitants; out of this the Treaty of Trianon left her about 35, 000 square miles and about eight and one-half million inhabitants. Parts of Hungary were given to Rumania, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria and Jugo- slavia (the former Serbia). In Trane sylvania Roumanians were formerly under-Hungarian sovereignty and now Hungarians are under Rumania, = Aus- tria's fear and suspicion of certain of the Minorities within her borders was one of the prime causes of the out break in 1914. The League's task, - therefore, in guaranteeing or attempt. ing to guarantee, fair treatment for all Minorities is neither light nor unim- portant, A typical case is one of the bound- ary line between Hungary and Czecho- * Slovakia which runs through the very | centre of the city of Satoralfaujhely, s0 that a citizen who desires to go from one side of the street to the other must- have a passport. Besides these difficulties arising from the" course of the boundary line there are the difficulties in connection with re. ligious and linguistic minorities. Old Hungary had eight universities but under the Treaty of Trianon two of these Universities belong to other countries, Rumania and Czecho-Slo- vakia, It is natural tha feelings be- tween countries who believe that their lands have been unfairly divided, should be strained and it is also na tural that an infinite variety of prob lems to settle should arise, These problems are now Brought before the Council of the League of Nations to solve. Several cases, in connection with the problem of German minority S8Schools in Upper Silesia were refer red to the Permanent Court of Inter- national Justice, but the majority of cases are decided zy the Council, Hungary is only one of many of the countries in Europe, whose boundaries were altered by the Peace Treaties, and who have Minority problems, all perhaps of a slightly different nature, but serious enough to provide con- Fsiderable ground for thought and work on the part of the Council of the League which endeavors to settle them fairly. x ! The study of Minorities Is an ex- tremely interesting one and any of the readers of this article who wish to pursue the matter further will find literature on tha subject at the head- quarters office of the League of Na- tions Society in Canada. A Fable Once upon a time there was a city with a wide street running along a high cliff. In dark and stormy weath- ef so many people were injured by falling over the edge that the citizens gathered together to see what they could do about it. After much debate they decided to increase their taxes 'and build a hospital at the foot of the cliff so the injured might Tecelve im. ' -| mediate attention. Now, it chanced that a great physk clan visited the city and the o s showed him the hospital with
