TOPICS OF THE DAY
Leads to Madness “ The Englishman knows that human nature is not fitted for absolute power. Such power with the mechanised adulation which is its fuel leads infallibly to madness, but while it lasts' it is capable of bringing sorrows and miseries upon the world, the results of which may be felt for generations and the memories of which will never die It is as though the active spirit of evil that had been kept in chains had been once more loosed over great areas of the world, raging undisputed and snarling on our very threshold. With us. internal differences, political, religious, have disappeared before what seemed a challenge by the powers of darkness for the dominion of mankind For the Englishman, everything for which he has struggled throughout his history is threatened; his political progress, Ins spiritual ideals.’'—Earl Baldwin.
