AC TORONTO LEAGUE OF NATIONS Activities Broadeningâ€"Politiâ€" col Efforts Becoming More Important. The League of Nations recently celebrated its seventh anniversary, the | Oouncil of the League having met for | the first time on January 16, 1920.| These seven years have beer notable | for developments of first import in international politics. _ Among them the postâ€"bellum reconstruction of Eurâ€"| ope heads the list, and in the ups and | downs of this trying process the| \League has played a commanding if| not always a controlling part. i Largely as a result of unforeseen cir cumstances, the political activities of the League have been confined almost entirely to the Continent of Europe. It was there that its amelMcrating inâ€" finenca was most needed. It was there that its most effective work was gone. The Western Hemisphere and the Far East thus far have lain beyond the bounds of its political reach, With the possible exception of the superâ€" vision of mandated territories, the Americas and Asia, fraught perhaps with the most significant developâ€" ments for the future, have been virâ€" tually untouched by League politics. Political Aspects. The nonpolitical activities of the Geneva organization deserve proper recognition. â€" In the fields of public hsalth and sociology ther> have been accomplishments of importance and farâ€"reaching conseequences. Economiâ€" cally and financially, it influence bas been marked. But after all, the League is bound to succeed or fail in the field of poliâ€" tics. Its highest purposes and ideals envisioned a new light in the dark places of international relations. Preâ€" venting wars and minimizing friction among nations were its principal obâ€" jocts, and 1t is almost entinely in Eurâ€" ope that its activity alongthese lines has bean directed. As it enters its eighth year the League is firmly established, a going concern. But it is now facing a pivotel problem which myst be solved if ltl is to function and progress efl’ecti\'ely.‘ This involves its rolation with two large and powerful nations which are outside its mambership and which are not likely, within the appreciable future, to come under tha Geneva aegisâ€"tha United States and Russia. Coâ€"opcration upon ?euch a plane was rot contemplated in the Loeague plan. A beginning may be said to have rot contemplated in the League plan. A beginning may be said to have been made. The United States went to Geneva for armament discussions and has displayed a readiness to colâ€" laborate with the Leagus in furthering the cause of disarmament. The reâ€" sults #o far indicate that the problem of effective coâ€"operation of the League with powerful nonmembers has not yet been solved. But it is yet to be proved insupcrable, and the League enters its eighth year under hopeful auspices based upon a highly creditâ€" able and progressive record.

The visit of Lord Irwin, the Viceroy of India, to Razmak (pronounced Ruzâ€" much), the new cnantonment in the Ihetrt Of Waziristan, on the Northâ€" imt Frontier, is not only a matter of | goâ€"lookâ€"see, but is a step farther in \ a brillMant @ettempt to captura the imagination of the tribesmen which | was started by Lord Reading, writes | Ltout..General Sir George MacMunn in | theh London Daily Mail. NEW OUTPOST ON Razmak, the new foriified camp in the very heart of tribal Waziristan, was started on the advice of Lond Rawlinson to heal once and for all the open sore of the bcharior of the mounâ€" tain tribes of Waziristan. * To Stop Raiding. For years the Government of India had tried to hit on some method of treatment which while ministering to their love or freedom would also preâ€" vent their living the life that the highâ€" lander usually lives where the hills breed many and feed fewâ€"living on the raiding of peaceful and wealthier natives in the plains. In their case the raids were apt to become armed invasions, and with other booty, both men and women, especially fat traders, would be carried to ransom. Since 1842, when Britain became the heirsatdaw of the Sikh Government, the life of the frontier had been raid and counterâ€"raid, the latter growing at times to punitive ex posditions. Millions had been «pent in this way, millions poured into the bottomless pit, but less by far than the cost of occupying and administerâ€" ing the territory. Local Recruits. Lord Curzon‘s policy was to employ the young men in local militias to proâ€" tect the trade routes through their own country. â€" This was the principle on which the Black Watch was first raised, allowances being made to tribal chiefs on the understanding that they kept crnder, furnished some rough poilce, and endeavored to give some education and civilization to the sons of those chiefs who cared to avail themselves of it. themselves of it. Slowly, very slowly, the leaven was working, when the Great War came down like an avalanche and carried away the results of a quarter of a ceonâ€" tury‘s ‘endeavor. The Drum Eeclestâ€" astic was roilling, the Caliph of Islam had proclaimed a Holy War, the highâ€" land Mullahs, the more fanatical beâ€" cause the more ignorant, echoed the ory, "Glory for all and Heaven for those who bieed," and the tribesmen flung themselves at the British posts. Post War View. Then as the war passed and the time came for the British b‘ll of reckoning to be presented, lo! the King of Kabul must needs throw his army in India and with him went the tribes enmasse Eventually it took very large forces of halfâ€"trained postâ€"war soldiers to bring the tribes of Waziristan to orâ€" der. It was decided to "lift the tribal curtain" in the frontier metaphor, once and for all. Great motor roads have been driven into the hills from the frontier cantonment of Bannu, up the Tochi Veliey; and 7,000 feet above the sea, on the top of the tribal platâ€" eau, out of the summer heat of the Indus Valley, this cantonment of Razâ€" mak has been placed by the despairâ€" ing British, a costly but effective cure, Now a sixâ€"inch howitzer is trained on the towers of the nearest chief to answer the suiper‘s bullet and peace appears to reign. â€"for who could resist the chance to loot fat, peaceful India® Pax Britannica. The tribes loatho and hate it, but rcknowledge the advantages of the great roads for their own trade and the constant work and wages that they engender. When a Viceroy comes, and local chiefs are treated with hos# pitelity and honor, and rewards in the shape of dresses of honor are presentâ€" ed as Lord Irwin has just presented them, then it flashes across the tribal mind that all is not lost by the presâ€" ence of the Sirkar. As an old chief once said to the writer: "Well, it the British try to take over the country it will give them a pretty pother, but . .>. it will perhaps be pleasant for us, as we grow older, to go to skeep in our towns and feel certain that we shan‘t wake up and find our throats cut." And the women with allments to be treated and children to be cured are slowly coming to the belief that eht "pax Britannica" is beter than the oM law O an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
