the word has been going aWj
is upon the Palace Courts at Versailles, where the
conferences are in progress.
Earth's millions of people have, by general
impulse, become a Universal Debating Society
for the rcviewal and readjustment required by
existing compulsory conditions of the nations.
Blue Book international agreements are prac
tically thrown overboard for the time while the
court is trying to find the lighthouses along the
coast before setting out upon a voyage to find the
best landing place.
At this season of the year there's a good lot
of windy weather, and we must needs watch to
not have the heavy sails spread until we are sure
we have the right reckoning.
Business men can only be patient, trim boat,
sit tight and be on deck for whatever emergen
cies arise. There will be plenty of employment
and lots to do for those who know how. ' The
present moment calls for presence of mind.
