One result of the war has been to multiply the possibilities of such in—
dividual misunderstandings.
What we all want more consciously to realize 111 that nations can not
be judged By a few chance specimens of their citizens.
They must be judgedhy the expressiou of their mllective will, made
manifest in hours of crisis. Judge Britain by her action as a nation during
the war, during, if you will, one menthol the war-April,1918—and I
think no Briton or friend of Britain need be ashamed of his citizenship or
his friendship. ,
Judge America by her action when she came into the war,lI1eIr whole-I
hearted and instantaneous adoption of compulsory military service and,
~ need be other than proud of his citizenship or his friendship.
'll1eso are the great signs of the pure gold of unselfish idealism in
national souls, and long after the hysterical shouting and exaggerations
have passed away, long after the false generalizations have been exposed
and their falseness recognized, the ultimate essential verity, the capacity
to forget self in the service of a common ideal, will bind our nations in
a yoke of service to mankind. I I
