ENGLISH TRADITION
THE PAST 20 YEARS Mr. 11. W. Xcvinson, the' famous English essayist, historian and special correspondent, concludes an article in the London Spectator surveying the 20 years of English history thus: “What, then, may we conclude from this hurried survey of 20 years? Many ideals have faded, and many hopes have failed us, but in,spite of all losses, our race can still claim for itself a delight in physical and even mental energy, a humorous aspect even of calamities, an unyielding' resolution to maintain our freedom of thought and expression against the benevolent behests of dictators or doctrinaires, and an inborn disinclination to display in public the depths of our emotions, our courage or our religion.” _
