Excerpt from The Round Table, Vol. 8: A Quarterly Review of the Politics of the British Empire; December 1917 to September 1918

Finally, there is a still more subtle enemy, the mental and moral inertia which settles down at the end of every long struggle and which is reinforced by inability to see clearly how victory is to be won. Having made great efforts in the past, it is only too fatally easy to shrink from the fresh efforts and constant resourcefulness and adaptability which are necessary to the mastery alike of the enemy and of the circumstances of the time. The broad situation is clear. The Government of Germany and its agents are endeavour ing by every means to persuade us that we have reached a stalemate, that victory is impossible for either side, and that compromise is the only alternative to the total destruc tion of civilisation. Nothing could be more untrue. Never have the Allies had such assets on their Side. They have the whole world behind them. IS it not obvious that if the Russians and, the Italians were to pull themselves together, if the British and the French continue their steadfast work, if the Americans mobilise their utmost, and the other nations of the earth were to unite in putting economic pressure on their enemies, it would not be long before the Germanic combination were in ruins at our feet? In truth, the need of the time is not to look at the advantages of the enemy, but to consider the im measurable resources on the Allied Side, and combine to bring to bear upon the autocracies of Central Europe exhausted by four years' war, weakened by want of food.
