Armistice Day was again celebrated on November 11,
eight years after the World War. But although eight
years have elapsed since the roar o f guns ceased on the
battle fronts, the scars of war still mark the face of
civilization, and the issues resulting from it are far from
a final settlement.
From a material standpoint it is doubtful whether
Germany has suffered as much as some of the allied
nations which forced her to agree to the stern terms of
the Treaty of Versailles. All Europe is still in an unset­
tled state, and much suffering is still endured by the
poorer classes, while governments are in dire straits
with respect to their financial obligations.
In nearly every country the difficulty of international
relations is accentuated through internal strife of great­
er or less significance. Dissatisfaction over territorial
adjustments, reparations and war debts is widespread,
in spite of the efforts o f the League of Nations to
smooth out the differences which exist among the na­
tions.
The only encouraging feature o f the situation is seen
in the acceptance o f the Locarno treaties and the entry
of Germany into the League. These promise to avert
actual warfare for the present at least. But the fact
remains that eight years after the armistice the outlook
for the prosperity and happiness of the great mass of
European people is by no means bright.
