THE SEAS
“I could not help thinking of the eternal difference between the mentality of countries that are sea-minded and countries that are land-bound. The R.A.F. are marines of the air; the Luftwaffe are soldiers of the air. The German at war is a man in boots, tramping over other people’s gardens . . . . The seas are no man’s tidy garden, and they cannot be bludgeoned into submission. They impose their own discipline, are moody, can be ruled
but not dominated, and yield only to men, not to masses. They do not be-
long to nations, but to everyone, and God help us if they should be ruled by those who do not understand freedom.”—Miss Dorothy Thompson, American Columnist.
