Book Description
Excerpt from Onlooker We have remarked that Professor Wrong possesses a logical mind. He has been heard to remark that If a thing IS not logical it is not true; and we have m this remark the strength and weakness of a whole school of literary pundits. Some of them would sooner sacrifice an empire than a prejudice or a syllogism. Logic is, no doubt, a fine enough thing. The French are a logical people; the British are not. They are practical - which is another matter entirely. Being practical they compromise, and go forward by rule of thumb, to the despair, and secret envy and admiration of all the logical peoples who make a mess of things. The British keep pace with life; they never try to force it. They recognize that logic is but the description in words of forms that life itself has already taken. They are, above all else, a vital people, who play the game and play it hard, leaving to historians to gather up with meticulous care and classify and arrange the records of past events.

Excerpt from The Onlooker, Vol. 1: A Literary Journal of Independent Critical Opinion on Public Affairs; December, 1920 So long as immigrants flocked to our shores at the rate of two or three hundred thousand a year, bringing their sheaves, in the form of foreign drafts or cash, with them; so long as our financial houses and governments could borrow freely abroad for legitimate national enterprises; so long, that is to say, as the net balance of trade was on the right side of the ledger, we could go on buying from the United States without a thought or care as to financial consequences. International balances were settled in London, and provided the final trial - balance in the international clearing house was in our favor, exchange remained at par. Now all is changed.

Excerpt from An Onlooker in France: 1917 1919 The only thought I wish to convey is my sincere thanks for the wonderful opportunity that was given me to look on and see the fighting man, and to learn to revere and worship him - that is the only serious thing.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Onlooker, Vol. 1: A Literary Journal of Independent Critical Opinion on Public Affairs; November, 1920 And it will be no happy isle - make no mistake about that E but a realm demanding all the old qualities of steadfastness, hard work, sacrifice and loyalty to the best that is in the race. The swimmer is the modern man-child; the ocean the tremeu dous psychological upheaval caused by the war, and the island the changed conditions of human existence on this planet. What we are all going through is readjustment; and the most of us see nothing exhilarating in the process. Adjustment, to be sure, is always painful; has to be; but in the end (if there be such a thing as real progress) salutary - if not for the individual, still, for the race. No doubt each nation considers its own situation worst. There is a curious unanimity of pessimism at the present time. By all the rules of the game the United States ought to be in the happiest case of all at the present moment. Is it? Not if its own publicists and thinkers are to be believed! The people of the United States were late getting into the war. They had the supreme advantage of being in a position to profit by the mistakes of the Allies; they had practically cornered all the surplus gold of the world; they entered into an inheritance of experience dearly bought by the blood and sweat of others, and they fell down disastrously: not in courage, not in the desire to help to the limit, but in preparation, efficiency, and results.

Excerpt from The Onlooker, Vol. 1: A Monthly Review of Current Events, Canadian and General; April, 1920 Unfortunately, the obsession that the annexation of Canada to the United States was inevitable, and would, in the end, prove beneficial to both parties, marred its pages: though, in his last years, Professor Smith maintained that he had been grievously misunderstood, and that all he had intended to convey was that a vast union of all the anglo-saxon peoples was necessary to the good of each unit and of the entire world.
