We arc sufficiently individualistic entirely to understand that in the

view of many highly. reputable people there is room for rejoicing as well as for remembering the dead on Armistice Day. Nevertheless, the nation on the whole is spontaneously tending more and more to regard Armistice Day as an occasion for exclusively reaffirming its obligation to the dead and pledging itself to a recog- nition of its own responsibilities for the future. Our own impression is that Armistice Day this year was treated with a deeper appreciation than ever of its solemn significance, and we are sure that a nation which of its own volition thus directs its thoughts Will not go seriously 'astray. It bows its head in memory of the past and raises it to face the future.
