There's a muckle o' folk of German blood.

Ye'll be hurtin' their feelings if you do not gang easy----" It was a lee! I ne'er hurt the feelings o' a man o' German blood that was a decent body--and there were many and many o' them.

There in America the many had to suffer for the sins of the few.

I've had Germans come tae me wi' tears in their een and thank me for the way I talked and the way I was helping to win the war.

They were the true Germans, the ones who'd left their native land because they cauldna endure the Hun any more than could the rest of the world when it came to know him.
But I couldna ha gone easy, had I known that I maun lose the support of thousands of folk for what I said.
