Excerpt from Morale and Its Enemies
And there is a wider element in the psyche of this war which must not be evanescent, and cannot be I mean the international esprit dc corps which has been created among the members of the Allied arms including their junior associate, the discoveries of people by people, brought about by the forced mental excursions of war. There have been critics of England among us, and critics of France; but no one who had fairly known the England or the France that bore the brunt of the war could have continued to hold these feelings dominant. England is inwardly the most diverse of all nations: it is not identical with any single party or government; judged by the acts and opinions of fragments here and there, or of Parliaments or of cabinets, it is not faultless,-and I know of no nation that is. But the phrases, the heart of England, or the soul of France, are not empty phrases: it is by the quality of its persistent national purposes that a people is to be judged. There are traits in the England of John Bull and Tory tradition, just as there are in the America of dollar-worshipping tradition, which have few lovers in the world, and deserve few. But this is not America; nor are these England. There is a con siderate and liberal England, an England that sweareth to its own hurt and changeth not, a chival rous England, a nobly generous England, eager to give in all ways more than due credit to its associates and neighbors. These are the real England. Let me quote here a few words from a letter that came to me recently.
