O knihe

Excerpt from After-War Problems

The longer the war lasts the more difficult it becomes to project one's mind into the new. England - the word' is used' in a representative sense as one of conveniencwto which our armies will return when their tasks have been completed. To-day can never be as yesterday, nor to morrow as to - day. If that is true for the life of the indi vidual, it is still more true for the life Of a nation. We are living at a time when days and weeks have the fulness and significance Of years and decades. Who does not feel that since August 1914 England has in many, ways broken with her past and entered an entirely new epoch Of her history, marked by transformations Of every kind', so that when the day Of peace arrives, be it soon or late, we shall be, confronted at home, as well as abroad, 'by an altogether altered situation?

In every department Of our domestic affairs new con ditions and relationships have been established during the last two and a half years, and these have created and will create new problems, some of a profoundly important and delicate Character, affecting the entire fabric and the innermost texture Of our Social life. The conditions and problems Of the war in their military aspects are hardly likely to undergo further fundamental Change. Can it be said, however, that the nation yet fully realizes what the war will mean for its future life at home - the duties which will have to be faced there, and which we shall Shirk at our peril, and the demands which these duties will make upon patriotism, public spirit, and the best energies that can be evoked by an enlightened and self-sacrificing citizenship?
