In reply to Mr. Prickett's criticism, the fact that the

justice of no peace settlement is absolute is scarcely a valid reason for regarding with complacency the Peace Settle- ment of 1919, perhaps the most unjust settlement in modern history. Our standards must be relative. Many of the injustices could at least be lessened without injury to the vital interests of any but the war-mongers.—R. G.
