MISHANDLING VICTORY

It has been said, often enough, that the English can stand defeat, says Mr F. A. Voight, writing in the “Nineteenth Century.” They certainly can! The Germans cannot, so it is said. It has also been said that the English cannot stand victory and that the Germans can. It may be so. In the First World War the Germans stood victory very well —the English very badly. Having achieved victory in the end, they failed to make it endure. They accepted revision of the Treaty of Versailles not only where, the treaty was bad but also where it was good, not only in their own interest (and in the interest of all), but also in the interest of the enemy. They allowed revision to become the instrument with which the former enemy undid all that was achieved in the First World War.
