...advantage in such a body, and that is that the responsibility to improve Stillman and make its facilities more adequate is centered in one particular group. It is too easy for regular staff members of the Infirmary to let things slip along in the same groove, not only from mere inertia, but because they are too close to the organization itself and interested more in running it than in picking it to pieces. The tendency, only too apparent in the past, to let antiquated equipment outrun its usefulness, is illustrative of this attitude...
...productive of enthusiasm has another and a less fortunate effect; they crystallized an opposition to the ideal which went to reinforce the more obvious opposition to its practice. Fascism labours under no such handicap.

Pondering excessively, I am unable to see that the credit agencies, governmental and private, which assisted in the confection of the World War could come to the front again, as so many observers are willing to predict, for their zeal has cooled and their money is padlocked, and mere subsistence is difficult for them. The kind of war which we spell with a capital letter is very, very remote; but there is another kind which the poor in all nations and at all times have embraced, and which is, God knows, terrible enough for any taste...
