To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How can a nation act honestly or dishonestly ? . . . How can a nation insult another nation ? " This, of course, was orthodox and uncompromising Angellism, but Mr. Angell did not here back it up. And Dr. Nasmyth, of Boston, U. S. A. , while disagreeing gene- rally with Mr. Allen, admitted that "when we get down to the roots of nationalism we find it is a very important survival factor; we know that we must stand together as a nation because the nation can give us security, can give a citizen a ...chance to bring up his children in some comfort, and give them opportunities in life and a chance to enjoy some of the higher fruits of civilization. . . . You cannot separate, as a rationalist, the sentiment of national- ism from the facts of national welfare. " Meanwhile Mr. Angell, though the whole question of his success or continued failure in Greater Britain was at stake, made no attempt to bring in his Boxer and his Yokel here ; he simply talked round the main point ; and Mr. Allen's final reply was pathetic, in the struggle it showed between his loyal Angellism and his over- powering common-sense.
