FALSE PICTURES
An American writer, Mr Edwin Muller, gives a half humorous, half bitter, account of the many false ideas about the United States spread in foreign lands Having done so, he very truly surmises (says the Children’s Newspaper) that it is much the same with all nations, that in each land there are formed false pictures of other lands; and he concludes —We are all like men wandering round in a dense fog As each of us looks about him he sees the others as menacing, beastlike figures. If the fog lifted perhaps we’d all look pretty much alike The common people of the world aren’< very different from each other If they .lad all known that, would there have been a World War? They are dangerous things, these false pictures thal we have, each of the other and are making history, making it wrong.
