There are three classes of so-called
patriots for whom am truly sorry
the one who would go to the front
and could not. the one who could 60
and would not, and the one who hugs
the delusion to himself that when he
stays on the farm Or in the shop and
pursues the even tenor Of his way in
making STUFF for the allies" Is as
loyal to his country as he who faces
the guns. But it takes all sorts to
make up the world of 'em.
