Nationalism, has its> dangers^ but nutimiahsm itself is not w-rong. - Nurse Cnvill when she’ was led out to die s.'iid: ‘ 'Patriotism is not enough.’ But what is pntnoti.sm ? It is a love .of the fatherland.. .Our need is not for less xiatriotism hut for a truer patriotism. Tho tragedy is. that some people think patriotism can only ho shown, in jealousy or hate of other lands. But it is possible to love one’s own land without hating otlior.s. "Vou nmj* bo jealous for tho honour of Lanc.'islnro but you do not thereby hate yorksliiro. A'ou may love Hngland, but you need not because oi that hate Franco or Gormaiiv. You cannot love ovciy woman as 3'ou love j ’oiir own, or every, other inau’.s wjfo a.s you love j'our owii wiio. II you did there would bo trouble. But because you love 3’our iiiothor or your wife j-ou need not hato ovor^' mother, or cverv wife. TIic curse IS nob in tlio love of one’s own land, but 011I3' ill tho iiorvcrtod idea of. love which somotimes passes for patriotism. How then shall tho curso ho removed. Tho evil is not in things, which as such are unmoral. I t is their , connexion w-itli man that gives them tlio meaning and makes them moral or immoral. Someone has said that if there wore no such thing .as steel in the world war would he impossible. But stool docs not make war. ' Tlioro was war before .steel was oven, invented. I t is nob stool which makes war but man in putting tho steel to an immoral use.”
