WEDNEGDAY, mivvimy 2s, ion lThe New League And The Old

A substantial — and most reassuring __ difference betucen the first session of the United Nations Assembly in London and the first League of Nations Aaafilllilly at Geneva is noted by the \\'lllliipeg FXL‘? 1))‘(,‘jj_

In Lon-ion todzrv, the Cnitcd Nations which

won the n-ur are united imdetcrnimalion to win the Dcace ilirungli a systcni of collective secur- lfY- But even before the old League of Na. ions met for the first time the unity of the Allies had been scvcrcly daixagml, At the firs; “leelllll-l of ‘ll? l-Eilkllc. <imoii¥ the first busi- 1105s 0n the fl-‘ldlltla was the reading of a letter from the United Suites announcing its refusal Y0 IOIH- The effect of that decision was scri- cl-ls ellollfih, bu‘. it nus scarcely more damaging to the mccess of the Lcagiie than the state of mind of the big powers of that time. Of the four which remained, only Urcat Britain seem- ed at all certain that collective security through the League was possible. _ France from the bfllllfllllg‘ put little Stock in getting prcizction from any League of Na- tions. She ix-eierrcd SIIILLICBS, iron clad alli- liices which ivculd prevent any third invasion of France by Germany. linly was in hot pur- suit of territory and lapan was laying the foundation Fur her ultimate aggression against China. Soviet Russia, then torn by civil W31‘, was not present.

Among the other nations, there was the ulmflst timidftv toward making commitments to the League of Nations. Thzs reluctance tended to increase rather than diulinish with the pass- ing of years. In the end, it reached its fulfill- ment in the doctrine of appeasement which was the negation of everything for which the Lea- gue had originally stood. '

This time the Great Powers are all inside the League. More important, what was strong doubt in I920 has now become a matter of sin- cere and deep conviction. It is conviction on the upper lcvel of statesmanship backed by convic- tion of public opinion at home. In no country has the transformation of public opinion been more complete than in the United States. A re- calcitrant nnd vocal IIIIIULIIY Silli is deluded with isolatiouisni, but it is a minority withon: leadership and without any disccmible effect on national policy. In Canada, too, there has been an awakening which is retlccted as uniformly throughout the people as it is in front benches 0f Parliament.

Britain And Refugees

Two important stafcmcnls have been made by the .L'ni'erl Kingdom Government which show Britain's anxiety to do as much as she can within her own country to help those who have luffered in concentration camps in Europe.

The first was the annitincement that Brit- :.in will admit immediately those survivors of the Nazi camps who have close relatives in Britain able and willing to liJ-zik after them, “and also other distressed persons who have been In hiding from the Gestapo or for various reasons are especially in need of care."

There are thousands of close relatives of Nazi victims in Britain to receive them. They found refuge there both before and during the war. Up to April I943 alore, 150,000 refugees entcrccl Bfi‘ilill, and in lune I944 it was official- lv slated that Iiicy wcre still being admitted at the rate of about 800 a m-iznli. Many of these rcfugccs ivill themselves lw able i0 save others now, and reunve their families. .

The other statement refers to naturaliza- tion. During the war naturalization was sus- pciidcd, and the refugees \'.h0 had settled in Britain were anxious about their future. Nat- uralization is now to be resumed, and priority is to be givein ‘to aliens Wllll have served in the Forces, or u. science, industry and commerce.

llritain is a ("cry rrtiivrlctl country with a population ui 50o per Sllililfe mile, compared with 44 per square mile in the United States. Yet during the war, llritaizi has shown her dc- lire to hclp, sahatcvcr the cost. No refugee who reached» liritziin, even without a visa, was ever turned back. And in addition to the stream of refugees who came in the usual way. there were many others who entered under various British schemes organized lo meet special cir- cumstances. For example. after D-Day, plans were made to accommodate 10.000 French refugees from embattled Ncnnandv. In March, i945, 2,000 Dutch children vrcre brought over for three-month holidays in camps and private home: all over the country. to allow them t0 recover from the horrors of Nazi occupation. Later, when the coiiccntratzon camps were lib- erated, plans were immediately made to bring to Britain large numbers u! the derelict and pitiable children who ivere found there. The programme has begun with 1,000 children from the dreaded Tiieresienstadt Camp in ‘Czecho- slovakia. The first 300 of these children were flown over ii. bombers bvlhc R. A. F. and

laced in a private holiday camp in‘ the English ake District.

These are the laIest-dluslratinns of sym- Mthy and liclii which have been characteristic of Great Brita .¢ver since the Nazis cam: fr‘ ~ E ' published in I943 910W"!

The managing director of the company told the Yorkshire Post correspondent that at least five million gallons of milk wciit. sour and became a dead loss to farmers every year. His com- pany is prepared to buy up all the sour milk they can. The company hopes to extend its activities to other parts so that the new enterprise may eventually become a‘ national industry.

So the twice defeated Minister of Defence, Gzrieral McNaughton, has been select- ed by his patron, to hie him down to Rio dc janeiro with a retinue to witness the installa- tion as President, of a successful politician in Brazil. There is nothing in common between Kipling and McNaughton, but he may now re- call the Iattcfs verses in furl-So Slorier:

“Van Ixeuwenliock, the bacteriologist. strikes me as a wonderful example of the power and pertinacity of an individual man-a good man t0 think about in our day when a man's ability is apt to be measured by degrees and diplomas, anch whether he's a member or wheth- er lie isn't a member of some trade organiza- tion or some professional body (writes Geoffrey Grigson, of “Anthony Van Leeuwenhoek and his Little Animals"). Isn't it pleasant to think of this Dutch draper, who couldn't write Dutch grammatically and no doubt did the Dutch equivalent of dropping his aitchea, and yet who beat all the prts at their own game and saw bacteria, and much else, for the first time on earth? Pleasant to think that lie never had to sit for an examination-even for a School Cer- tificate."

Major General Chisholm is still carrying on his campaign for improved morale in the rising generation. Addressing lllt: Legion at Ottawa he said: “Soldiers have learned how to sacri- fice and ‘they should teach the rest of the people and particularly children.’ Most of hi: speech was devoted to outlining way: in which veter- ans could best rehabilitate themselves to civilian life. The next war, he said. will be vastly more different than anything the world ha: ever known. The atomic bomb, would be child's play because already in the cards there wire better

But are they?

Thls Iii a glorious Ideal and one might well hope and pray that It might become a reality, but a: long as there exlst those to whom Jesus could say "Ye Bro v! mm" father, the devil," It, Ir evident that there are two fatherhood:

and two brotherhoods.

Paul says “Far ye (believers) are all the children of God b faith in Chrlst Jesus." Here I: the fatherhood of God, and fulth In Christ Jesus establishes the brotherhood, the only one recog- nlzcd in the New Testament.

All men are not brethren; they are neighbors, and Christians should love them as themselves with a view to their salvation. But It ls in a different WHY that we love the brotherhood In Christ. God Is not the Father of all man- kind; He is the Creator of all but the Father of all those who be- lleve.

John's Gospel was wi-Ilten to bring man to believe “that Jesus Is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, believing, they might have life through His name.” Having this life at once qualifies for ad- mission into this brotherhood. Sonshlp Is derived from God's only begotten Son who became the Son of man to make uli anew the Sons of God. "As many as re- ceived I-Iim, to them he gave the power to become the sons of God; even to them that believe on Hls name, whIch were born, not o! blood nor of the wlll of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” Our adopflon Is In Jesus Christ as the Head of this fratem- lty and Is accompanied wlth a real change, regeneration, the ground of sonshlp. In other words there are no sons of God by adop- tion, but such as are His by rc- generatlon and rebirth.
