ABSTRACT
In England the outward aspect of life does not yet teach them to feel or realize in the least that an age is over. Evidently Europeans did not exploit to the utmost the possibilities of their economic life. If the European Civil War is to end with France and Italy abusing their momentary victorious power to destroy Germany and Austria-Hungary now prostrate, they invite their own destruction also, being so deeply and inextricably intertwined with their victims by hidden psychic and economic bonds. France, Germany, Italy, Austria and Holland, Russia and Boumania and Poland, throb together, and their structure and civilization are essentially one. At any rate an Englishman who took part in the Conference of Paris and was during those months a member of the Supreme Economic Council of the Allied Powers, was bound to become, for him a new experience, a European in his cares and outlook.
