TOTAL WAR
BRINGS UNPREDICTABLE STRESSES
“Total war has thrust dirty fingers deep into the intimate consciousness of almost every human being, often with a quick sense of acute personal .danger. Moreover, it is no longer a short sharp shock calling for gallant s bearing, courage and dash; it has become a vehement and prolonged period of tension demanding the deliberate cultivation of a savage resolve. These are not the days of petty personal vicissitude, but of a great upheaval involving directly the selected purposes of humanity. The strain has to be borne by the common man and wcman, by loose masses of humanity half developed, half educated, anxious and insecure. Tension so widespread, so severe, so unfair has brought sharply to the fore visible and unpredictable stresses. It is indeed time to consider and to cultivate morale.” —Mr Joseph Geoghegan, in “Nature.”
