American Optimism.
This is only another example of
that youthful optimism. might almost
say that thoughtless optimism. which
is so all.pervading in America. Every
, one Is serenely confident that 1t will
all come out right: that wherever eX.
perience reveals defects remedies will
be found: that the future is amply
able to take care of itself. 1t Is very
beautiful. but!-to n European who
has been called pessimist and u

In Europe when we are opponents we
hate each other: in America political
or religious enemies can be personal
friends. Our rivalries are so old. so

to judge you Americans of to-day

And therein you are happier than we."
