FACT NOT FICTION
NEW POST-WAR WORLD. I have heard many bitter criticisms of the peace terms which followed the Great War, but I have never yet heard anyone maintain that from the moral point of view Germany ought to have won, writes Canon S. J. Marriott in the “News Chronicle.” Historians may disagree on many matters: in connection with the war, but on this point they are unanimous—that the nation which won was on the side of Right. It will be so again. What makes some people a little bit doubtful about that is the shameful way in which the ideals for which those men fought were ignored and forgotten as soon as the war was over; with the result that “the land fit for heroes to live in” became a. land fit for the unemployed to lounge in. But. even that cannot make Hitler’s cause right. What it should do is to fill us with an unbreakable determination that this time the new world, after the war shall be a fact and not a fiction.
