AFRICA l6l INTRODUCTION IN the third chapter of The Four Georges,
Thackeray, that valiant crusader against hypocrisies and shams,
strikes vigor ously at the practice of bearing false witness in
time of war. Referring to the struggle with France under the First
Napo leon, he says There was no lie we would not believe no charge
of crime which our furious prejudice would not credit. I thought at
one time of making a collection of the lies which the French had
written against us and we had published against them during the war
it would be a strange memorial of popular falsehood. Mr. Baldwin,
who, for the good of his countrymen, continues to administer to
them one excellent moral tonic after another, each after a
judicious interval, spoke to much the same effect in his late very
noteworthy address to the students of Edin burgh University
November 6th, an utterance in pleasing contrast to another
rectorial address to youth spoken in Scotland a twelvemonth or more
before. With war and the preparation for war, he said, go the
stratagems of diplomacy, the dropping of the code of morals, a
holiday for truth, and an aftermath of cynicism. ... In the arena
of international rivalry and conflict men have placed patriotism
above truthfulness as theindispensable virtue of statesmen. Time,
which changes most things, does not appear to have lessened the
proclivity to mendacity of patriots of the baser order, nor yet the
gullibility of the unreflective mass of man kind. Much of the
propagandism evoked by the Great War amply proves this. All the
leading belligerent nations suffered from calumny and
misrepresentation manifold, yet it is probably safe to say that
they usually gave as good or as bad as they received...
