High said that in the World war the young people or the warning countries were taken up to the top of a high hill and given a view of the world as 1t was in the terrible mess which the mis- government of their elders had brought it. They fought in the war, not because they liked the dirty business of killing other youth, but because they honestly believed that a new and better world would come out of the awful carnage.
