America hears much about the

left. The fact is that fifty thousand

The war has shown the weakness OF the

They have succeeded not merely In

better, but In keeping the material side
of their national life steadier under great
er stresses. 1t Is idle for this writer to
pretend to think that the United States
would make any better showing in this
matter than Great Britain.
The British government has been, excel
lent In argument and admirable in rhet-
ORIG, but 1t has been slack. indolent. and
unready in all matters of material organ
tional feeling, n 1t has been manifestly
afraid of the press and over sensitive to
public clamor. 1t has shown all the mer-
Its and failures one might have expected
from a body of political lawyers, trained
in the arts of making things seem right,
wary and prepared to wait and see
chances the adversary will give, and as
incapable of practical foresight. as re-

things go right, as enclosed nuns.
