the headof these pages.Do they at a glance give an adequatoidea of the bill of indictment we would prefer againstpatriotism?Do they imply that love of the fatherlandseems to have become practically inseparable,in modernlife,from eovetousness of the neighbourland?Do theyassert that patriotism,in its essence a virtue,has beenstrained and twisted,until it has自sumed the shape of aviee—that it has licensed bloodshed and sanctioned war-fare?Legitimate warfare,we call it,thus compla-cently investing the aet of murder with the official stampof re8pectability.The end,we seem to say,justifies themeans,and so patriotism justifies the slaughter of humanbeings by the collective violence of the whole community.And if we rise to shake off the yoke of prejudice,toBcatter the mists that obscure and confuse our betterjudgment,we are denounced and held up to reprobationas unnanly and unpatriotic,as cowards and traitors,That large masses of people,unaccuatomed to the inve-tigation of social probleme,should simply acquiesce inbellicose traditions,as handed down to them from theirforefathere,is not surprising;but it is depressing to findBome of the mos eloquent and influential leaders of
