IN GERMANY
"The place given to art in the conununity has also something to do with it. Music, §rehitecture, poetry and the drama are highly honoured in the State. Hans Sachs, the cobbler poet, is their pride, and the Seigfried motif, with its triumphant call to youth, dominates their xaarching. The sessions of the Conference have been preceded by a performance o£ 'Die Meistersinger.' What political party in England would have its sittings played in with an opera or a Beethoven symphony! Or elevate its discussions with fine poetry I Differences there will be on matters of politiqal form and administrative adtion between tbe two Governments, but whereas eloser contaet migbt modify thOse differences with advantages to both countries, aloofiless and pin-pricks, whether of Parliament or the press, can only harden and embitter. The state of the world calls imperatively for co-operation between two great nations who are so much alike and so closely akin." yiscbunt Snowden on Germany.
