mentality. It is the fault of the English to expect the people of other
countries to react as they do, to political and international situations. Our
genuine goodwill and good intentions are often brought to nothing, because we
expect other people to be like us. This would be corrected if we knew the
history, not necessarily in detail but in broad outlines, of the social and

mentality. It is the fault of the English to expect the people of other
countries to react as they do, to political and international situations. Our
genuine goodwill and good intentions are often brought to nothing, because we
expect other people to be like us. This would be corrected if we knew the

political conditions which have given to each nation its present character
