The Cause of World Unrest #233123

There have been innumerable occasions when the loyalty of a new citizen to his new State has been admirable: on the, other hand, both here and in America, we have found that race instincts have been stronger than oaths of allegiance.

A race which has persisted in spite of such terrific pressure, constantly applied and often without mercy or justice, must be ao knowledged to be a great and virile nationality in the mere fact of its persistence. But when we consider that this race has not merely persisted, but has achieved enormous power and influence in every civilized country, our admiration is easily aroused.
