In this undertaking, Queen's Univer- sity is in doing pioneer work; through t generosity of the late Chancellor James Douglas she was enabled to establish the first chair in Colonial and Canadian History created on this continent.

AMERIGAN EDITOR - CRITICIZES TREATY Kellogg Pact Called a Minor and Perhaps Dangerous Achievement New York, Sept. 11--The Kel- logg peace treaty is attacked as a minor and perhaps dangerous dip- lomatic achievement by "Foreign Affairs," magazine of the Council on Foreign Relations, in its Octob- er issue. The chairmen of the council are Blihy Root and John W, Davis, In according Secretary Kellogg's treaty less than wildly enthusiastic welcome, Hamilton Fish Arm- strong, editor of Foreign Affairs, fears lest "its good intentions may be accepted for concrete and suffi- cient achievement, and that the Americans desire to do something constructive for the cause of in- ternational peace may be lulled to sleep with a pleasant opiate." "Phe vagueness of the treaty," Armstrong further writes, 'has set thoughtful people to pondering how to implement its aspirations effec- tively, "For thus bringing matters to a head the secretary of state deserv- ves thanks, provided the public is constantly reminded that the whole field of action to minimize the caus- es thanks, provided the public is ficlently when they arise still re- mains most inadequately covered, particularly as our new arbitration treaties specifically exclude cer- tain important causes of dispute." Mildly Couched Armstrong's ohjections to the treaty are couched mildly, but it is made evident that he thinks the treaty's value is enhanced if too great claims are not made for it and it is yecognized as merely an- other step in educating the world to think in terms of peace instead of war, He adds that this is prov- ing to be the result whether it was | Secretary Kellogg's object or not. The 'renunciation of war'? pact is discussed in a general survey of the achievements and fallures of diplomaey in the decade since the world war, which ends with a sum- mation of principal prohlems of foreign policy facing the United States today, Armstrong concludes that hoth materially and physically the world has achieved far more stability than seemed likely or even possible in the autumn of 1918, and thinks that the relations between this country and Europe are more sat- isfactory than our debt, immigra- tion and League, of Nations policies might have been expected to pro- duce.
