B. ARTHUR BALFOUR, ex-
premler of Great Britain,
though known chleflr a a
statesman and practical poll-
ticlan of the better kind, baa been a
wide and deep student, and Is a ripe
scholar, though Inclining to meta
physics and speculative philosophy
His very large them In a recent ad
dresa before the University of Cam
' bridge was the decadence and death
. of nations. With characteristic cau
Hon, and taking an all-sided and far
sighted view, Mr. Balfour, unlike
many more dogmatic and less broad
Yisioned teachers, said that only ten
tatlve conclusions could be drawn
, as to the future of present nations
from all tha history of the past. II
percelTed, of course, that conditions
under which men lire and act have
been greatly changed sine th great
' nations that we call ancient declined
and fell, and that conditions will
continue to change; but whether the
. new elements and appurtenances of
national life will conduce to longer
ItfVt not perpetuity, or to the accel-
eratlon of decadence and death, he
.was too cautious, In that great seat
of : learning, to predict positively,
though he clearly leaned to the for
mer view.
But though Mr. Balfour empha
sized the tentatlveness of any predic
tions that might be made, he was
on the whole optimistic as to the
future of existing nations and espe
cially of the western civilization of
today, of which as a Briton, he of
"course considers his land the most
perfect flower yet he Is too broad
a man to set England up on a pedes
tal high above all other nations. He
was Inclined to accept the theory
that In the natural course of events
nations, like Individuals, pass
through youth, maturity and deca
dence, ending In extinction; yet he
was by no means sure that histor
ical data warranted such a conclu
slon as a positive fact. However
that might be only to be deter
mined many centuries hence he
this progress ceases, retrogression
Is Inevitable. Is there a limit to
progress? This question Mr. Bal
four does not answer nor ask. But
evidently h can Imagine that there
may not be. Surely there Is im
