A lot of hard-faced men who look as if they had done very well out of the war. - Stanley Baldwin

It makes my blood boil to read of the way in which M. Zinovieff is speaking of the Prime Minister of Great Britain today. At one time there went up a cry, "Hands off Russia." My word I think it is time someone said to Russia, "Hands off England."

Tom Mosley is a cad and a wrong 'un and they will find it out.

...some of those to-day who are loudest in their protestations of international pacifism are loudest in their protestations that nothing but a class war can save society. No truer word was ever said by a philosopher than was said by Kant, a century ago or more, that we are civilised to the point of wearisomeness, but before we can be moralised we have a long way to go. It is to moralise the world that we all desire. ... We have to remember one more thing besides that, that since the War we must not make the mistake of thinking that what may be war weariness is necessarily an excess of innate good will, and we cannot help noting that there has arisen in Europe, in the few years since the peace, a strong local feeling in different places of an extreme nationalism which, unless corrected, may bear in what is not of itself an evil thing the seeds of much future peril for the peace and harmony of Europe.
