Europe is apart and England is not of her flesh and body.

But Europe is solid with herself.

France, Germany, Italy, Austria and Holland, Russia and Roumania and Poland, throb together, and their structure and civilization are essentially one.

They flourished together, they have rocked together in a war, which we, in spite of our enormous contributions and sacrifices (like though in a less degree than America), economically stood outside, and they may fall together.

In this lies the destructive significance of the Peace of Paris.
