considers history, is really an unex-
ampled performance of unity.
"Suggestions have been made re-
Gently in various forms that someone
in the foreign Office is in the pay of
Germany, or at least is pro-German.
This is a grotesque and seriou'
charge. It shows that there are
some people who are unable to. stand

hysterical neurotics. It is utterly de-
structive Of the morale of the country,
and it is the duty of every patriotic
man 10 stamp this on the people.
