But what are the facts to the man who asks, "What has England done in this war, anyway ?" The word "land-grabber" has been passed to him by German and Sinn Fein propaganda, and he merely parrots it forth.

He couldn't discuss it at all.

"Look at the Boers," he may know enough to reply, if you remind him that England's land-grabbing was done a good while ago.
Well, we shall certainly look at the Boers in due time, but just now we must look at ourselves.

I suppose that the American who denounces England for her land-grabbing has forgotten, or else has never known, how we grabbed Florida from Spain.

The pittance that we paid Spain in one of the Florida transactions never went to her.
