of other small nations? Such ma
tional life as she has had came
not from the grace but from the
self interest of the great powers which
are engaged in war. Now both sets
of belligerents question her right to
live her own national life.
The question will constantly recur
whether this is the beginning of the
end of the aspirations and ambitions
of the Greek people for the restored
Hellenic empire.
The evolution of present day Greece
has been the process of a century.

It Is because the organization of xa-, tional life is so eminently important. because its absence is one of the ma&h sources of our peril. that we tor0a be interested primarily in the develee- ment of a national consciousness a1d a discipline, which are good for pea1e. and which can be forwarded now M the peril of war if statesmen of vision can be found to give the movement leadership. Any reaction of opiniAp which tends to retard or frustrate th4t development is a national peril. T&e lack of just that kind of leadership today Is conspicuous.
