Tnr. Old Secret. It is tile cant or the day to sneer at tile Empire and to belittle the great tilings that our fathers did and their fathers that begat them, it is common parlance that the Empire is only a word, that we should Ik* no worse off. if. one |,v one, its limbs were lopped, and all came back to that ancient trunk which sent out Drake and Raleigh and Frobisher and Cook and Nicholson and Rhodes. Our moderns intoxicate themselves with their own plausibility, ns the sceptic persuades himself—until be is in misery and trouble or in sight of death-that there is no God. Wembley is the cure tor this loose logic. Tt is a course in elementary economics, and a picture of power, ft is more.
