But what does need some further words is the question

of what Great Britain is going to do about exhibitions like this in the future. That is not quite as simple as it sounds. It would be easy to say that whatever it does it must never take its Paris performance as model. Perhaps not. But there are reasons why the Paris performance is what it is ; and the thing in any case goes much deeper than that. Moreover, the principle involved affects more important matters than exhibitions. What we have to decide is whether democracies like Great Britain and France are to follow their natural bent and play the game according to the rules, or follow the dictator- ships when the latter make short shrift with the rules.
