Here is the
substance of some of the questions which confront the perplexed
wayfarer:--
1. "Do your people at home appreciate the fact that we are
thoroughly pro-Ally over here?"
2. "How about that Blockade? What are you opening our mails
for--eh?"
3. "Would you welcome American intervention?"
4. "What do you propose to do about the submarine menace?"
5. "You don't _really_ think we are too proud to fight, do
you?"
6. "Are you in favour of National Training for Americans?"
7. "Do you expect to win outright, or are both sides going to
fight themselves to a standstill?"
_And_
8. "Why can't you Britishers be a bit kinder in your attitude
to us?"
CHAPTER TWO
Let us take this welter of interrogation categorically, and endeavour
to frame such answers as would occur to the average Briton to-day.
But first of all, let it be remembered that the average Briton of
to-day is not the average Briton of yesterday. Three years ago he was
a prosperous, comfortable, thoroughly insular Philistine.
