You know there's been much discussion of the decadence of the English people.

I don't believe a word of it.

They have an awful slum, I hear, as everybody knows, and they have an idle class.
Worse, from an equal-opportunity point-of-view, they have a very large servant-class, and a large class that depends on the nobility and the rich.

All these are economic and social drawbacks.

But they have always had all these--except that the slum has become larger in modern years.
