...Anglo-Saxon ever really understands what a Spaniard means by his honor. It has little or nothing to do with honesty- a fact which often causes painful misunderstanding. Last week the millions of Spanish-blooded folk who live outside of Spain were thrilled to the marrow by a lengthy and ornate oration, the text of which had been smuggled past Dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera's censors and frontier guards at risk of life and limb.

Born at Wimbledon, England, in 1895, Graves had English, Irish and German blood in him. On the distaff side he was related to the Saxon von Rankes, several of whom fought in the German army during the War. One of his English ancestors and namesakes invented "Graves' disease."

During the last 60 years the millions of emigrants from Central Europe, Poles, Slavs, Italians, Sicilians, Jews, Russians, and the Danes, Finns and Swedes, have brought with them into their new home all of Continental Europe's age-old hatred of England...
