in many countries discussed there is no international school so powerful to teach the people the pos sibilities of unity of the human race as the league of nations said bishop brent before a combined meeting of the junior and senior honors groups last friday because of his many visits to europe and his connections with im portant bodies there bishop brent is especially fitted to speak authoritative ly on the subject of international rcla he briefly described conditions in various kuropean nations and their re lations to each other czechoslovakia for instance has a religious and racial mixture and each of the many groups is so strong that any attempt to unite the country is most difficult the united states is the most composie na tion in the world today said bishop brent but we have two advantages that the european nations have not which enable us to maintain our unity namely a common tongue and a demo cratic form of government england however has a finer degree of democracy thiui we have today as evidenced by the recent strike in that country there was no bloodshed dur ing that period and the strikers were willing to aid those who were trying to break tho strike we can not easily imagine such conditions existing in this country if a general strike were called england showed the meaning of democracy in producing people that could keep themselves under severe re straint even under the most terrible provocation " in discussing italian conditions bishop brent described mussolini aa tho product of a country that has a genius of raising great leaders at
