EIGHTY YEARS AGO
Sir,-May I quote a paragraph, which may well be applied to 1944, from an article by T. E. Cliffe Leslie in Macmillan’s Magazine, September, 1860: "The people of that great country (Europe) are even now- unconsciously debating about its future institutions. And it is for us, above all Europeans, to provide that Europe shall finally be something nobler than a great shop, something less miserable than a great prison. Nor is there anything more cer‘tain than that the citizens of the future Europe will owe the measure’ of. liberty ‘they may enjoy, and the degree of public ‘spirit and generosity with which they may be endowed, mainly to\the exertions and example of the citizens of Great Britain in the present generation."
