FREE MEN NOT NEUTRAL
An American view of the war issues is quoted by Lord Wright in a letter to The Times. The American wrote to him: For once there can be no historic controversy about the cause of war—one man’s mad course willed it, and it may truly be said that nothing less than all those human achievements we call civilisation are at stake. On such issues free men are not neutral, and it is easy to be confident that American opinion this time, unlike in 1914, has a unanimity of opinion in support of the democracies. How our sympathy—our consciousness that you are fighting for our way of life—will manifest itself in action time will tell, but I have the highest hopes that we shall not be wanting in effective realisation that we cannot let the “ evil things ” prevail.
