“The Swarming Of The English”
Sir.—Our President Woodrow 1 Wilson, of World War I days, i was before election to the Presi- < dency, an honoured historian. He invented the phrase “The Swarming of the English” One recalls j how many states on our Atlantic ■ seaboard have crystallised into < their names British origin. New * Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Penn-sylvania, de la Ware. Mary-land, Virginia for Queen Bess,’ Carolinas both North and South, and then Georgia—lo of the original 13 colonies. It was i from these that came Woodrow Wilson “Swarming of the English.” I recall by generation’s 1 parents speaking of a trip to Britain as “going home.” The ' tie is not lingual—it is a blood tie. How canny your statesman who said “We hold permanently only what we* hold racially.”— Yours, etc., C. M. GOETHE. Sacramento, Calif., May 14, 1958.
