I think that no people ever really admired and, in a sense, envied another people more.

They know we hold the keys of the future.
But they make a sharp distinction between our people and our Government.

They are sincere, God-fearing people who speak their convictions.

They cite Tammany, the Thaw case, Sulzer, the Congressional lobby, and sincerely regret that a democracy does not seem to be able to justify itself.

I am constantly amazed and sometimes dumbfounded at the profound effect that the yellow press (including the American correspondents of the English papers) has had upon the British mind.
