UNDOING CIVILISATION.
In the course of a very short dispatch from Athens, says the “Times’ Literary Supplement,” the following places were named" as possible objectives of the new drive to undo the arts of civilisation: Athens, Cephalonia, Samothrace, Lemnos, Mitylene, Chois,. Crete, the Cyclades, and some others almost as evocative. Each, it would be thought, is a name with power enough in itself to exorcise the forces of barbarism. And it may prove to be so. There can be no country on earth without citizens who, knowing how profoundly the thought and behaviour of mankind have been affected by the unique services of Greece to the world, are not shocked by this fresh eruption of the evil spirit that ■ has betrayed Europe and corrupted Rome into, a capital of treachery. Hitler and Mussolini are, prolific in these symbolic acts to make clear the kind of New Order they seek to impose.
