"If wo will but open our eyes wo cannot help but fee that a world society la not only a poHslblllty, but an Imperative ncceielty today." lir. Fling had led up to this point oy a dlsciisslon of the tendency of the nations to expand and spread their Influence ovei large area until the world has been tc duced to a comparatively small number of groups and organizations. He then called attention to the fact that the world cannot be unified by one civilized coun try forcing its domination upon another civilized people. The tendency, according to Dr. Fling, is to give self-government to a large extent In order to hold outlying territory. In discussing the possibility of a world society, he called attention to the greater facilities for trade and com munication today. "The world today," he said, "la nearly as small for purposes of communication as the city of Rome was In the days rti Rome's power."
