BRITISH MORAL LEADERSHIP.
There is no virtue in us British people unleas we are convinced that the course we are putsuing is not only wise, but rightj says the Liverpool Post. The moral leadership of civilisation is in our . hands more than in those of any other people. If we falter in indecision} drift into vaguenesa of moral resolve, the foundations of civilisation are shaken. In Europe to-day England is almost universally regarded as holding the fate of European civilisation in trust, not only because her foreign policy is the balancing factor between peace and war, but also because we are the custodians of the principles of ordered liberty, which. can only vindicate themselves if they are directed and inspired by moral conviction.
