After-War Problems (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from After-War Problems So, again, we are told of what Germany is to be com pelled to do, of the capitulations and penalties which are to be required Of her as the price of peace. Here like wise prophecy, ih so far as it is well informed, is perfectly legitimate and may be helpful. Yet there are thousands Of Englishmen, and they not the least patriotic, who are quite as eager to know what England herself is prepared to do in order to help in and sustain the coming reign of peace and goodwill which all men long for and too many_ Of us think will come automatically, and of the example which she is going to Offer to the world Of order and harmony in her own household. Already the nation's contribution to the awful holocaust Of life and treasure demanded by the war has been appalling, and still the full toll has not been paid. What is to be the gain in return - the gain, not to Europe and to Civilization at large, which to most people are mere abstractions, but to ourselves? If the gain is to be equal to the sacrifice, it must surely be in the things wherein we as a people have hitherto been most lacking.
