experiences, and whatever may be present in life, I am 

 satisfied that so far these sciences have furnished the 

 only kinds of facts out of which we could get any satis- 

 faction, on the set basis of being perceptively observ- 

 able, demonstrable, reasonable, commanding of universal 

 respect, or of whatever quality scientific men desire to 

 have as a criterion of truth."

^^Probably nowhere can the difference in the temperament of two peoples be 

 shown better than in group reactions of the Anglo-Saxons and the Latins, as shown 

 in the following popular account of understanding and lack of understanding of 

 each other by Duff Cooper, M.P., in a recent issue of Graphic, London: 



"The difference between French mobs and English mobs, and between political 

 disputes in the two countries was never more vividly exemplified than during the 

 general strike in England. For ten days England seemed to be on the brink of civil 

 war — the eyes of the world were turned toward us in the expectation of terrible 

 developments — and when it all ended, foreigners could hardly believe that not a 

 single casualty had occurred. 



"While it was still in progress, there occurred in Paris some celebration in con- 

 nection with their national saint, Joan of Arc, an historical figure for whom it 

 might be supposed that even an anarchist could feel nothing but respect. But riots 

 broke out, and in one afternoon loss of life and many casualties occurred. 



"Meanwhile the strikers in this country were playing football with the police- 

 men, a phenomenon which so puzzled and therefore exasperated foreigners that 

 they were driven to explaining it by saying that the English were incapable of 

 taking even their own revolutions seriously."
