103/108 You know the old story of the Negro who saw a ghost--"Git outen de way, Mr.Rabbit, and let somebody come who _kin_ run!" Score one! We're making History, and these people here know it. The over-taxed, under-productive, army-burdened men of the Old World--alas! I read a settled melancholy in much of their statesmanship and in more of their literature. The most cheerful men in official life here are the High Commissioners of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and such fellows who know what the English race is doing and can do freed from uniforms and heavy taxes and class feeling and such like. |
