Is it an offence, is it a mistake, is it a crime to take a
hopeful view of the prospects of your own country? Why should it
be? Why should patriotism and pessimism be identical? Hope is
the mainspring of patriotism.

with horror. Others would pull down with the crowbars and with
cranks--especially with cranks. . . . Sweating, slums, the sense

Unemployment, with its injustice for the man who seeks and
thirsts for employment, who begs for labour and cannot get it,
and who is punished for failure he is not responsible for by the
starvation of his children--that torture is something that

I am the last man in the world to say that the succor which is
given us from America is not in itself something to rejoice at
greatly. But I also say that I can see more in the knowledge

been a tragedy for mankind if America had not been there, and
there with all her influence and power.
