we are capable of absolute control "our own emotions. For it is a mistake to believe that only the private ridden; the-Land-o boys are equally susceptible to the virus.
Why do we vehemently believe, under the stress of war, things which after a moment's cairn reflection would appear demonstrably absurd?
Tu the "North-China Daily News" a few days ago there was a picture of some German youths saluting the Grimsby War Memorial. Imagine one of our Inds addressing one of those German boys "Excuse me, Fritz, but years time, my newspaper will be telling me that you are just the very man that's out to bomb our house.
Td like you to come along and meet my people so that you'll know them again, but seeing as ow you're in Grimsby how about some ried fish first?"
