>North of Poland are the Baltic States of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland, all successors of the old Tsarist Empire. They are small States, but each is a distinct cultural entity with a separate language. You will be interested to know that the Lithuanians are Aryans (like many others in Europe) and their language bears quite a close resemblance to Sanskrit. This is a remarkable fact, which probably many people in India do not realize, and which brings home to us the bonds
which unite distant people.

Half the book is about britain
>The form of government in Britain was what is called a constitutional monarchy or a " crowned
republic ". This meant that the wearer of the crown had no real power, but was just the mouthpiece of the ministers whom Parliament trusted. Politically he (or she) was supposed to be just a puppet in the ministers' hands; he was " above politics ", it was said. As a matter of fact no man of intelligence or will can be a mere puppet, and the English king or queen has plenty of opportunity of interfering with public affairs. This is usually done behind the scenes, and the public seldom know of it till long afterwards. Any open interference would probably be greatly resented, and might imperil the monarchy. The one great virtue that a constitutional monarch must possess is tact; if he has this he can carry on and make himself felt in many ways.

>In the thirteenth century another small nation of Europe— Switzerland—asserted its right to
freedom. It formed part of the Holy Roman Empire, and Austria ruled it. You must have read the story of William Tell and his son, but probably this is not true. But even more wonderful is the
revolt of the Swiss peasants against the great empire and their refusal to submit to it. Three of the cantons revolted first and formed an " Everlasting League ", as they called it, in 1291. Other cantons joined them and in 1499 Switzerland became a free republic. It was a federation of the different cantons, and it was called the Swiss Confederation. Do you remember the bonfires we saw on many a mountain-top in Switzerland on the first of August ? That was the national day of
the Swiss, the anniversary of the beginning of their revolution, when the bonfire was the signal to rise against the Austrian ruler.

>You will remember that in Switzerland the poor peasants of the mountains had dared to defy the great Hapsburg monarch and had won their freedom. So, in the European sea of absolutism and autocracy, the little peasant republic of Switzerland stood out as an island where kings had no place.

There are Norway and Sweden in Scandinavia and Denmark just below them. These countries are not far from the Arctic regions; they are cold and hard to live in. They can support only a small population. But because they are outside the great Power circle of hatred and jealousy and rivalry, they live a peaceful life and spend their energies in civilized ways. Science flourishes there and fine literatures have grown. Norway and Sweden were joined together and formed one State till 1905. In that year Norway decided to break away and carry on a separate existence. So the two countries decided peacefully to break their bonds, and since then they have been separate independent States. There was no war or attempt to compel one country by another, and both continued to live as friendly neighbours.

All methods, fair and foul, were adopted for this propaganda work. In Stockholm in Sweden the British officially started a kind of English music-hall, giving a variety entertainment, to win the good will of the Swedes. This propaganda, as well as the German submarine activities went a long way in bringing America to the side of the Allies

There was a terrible civil war here from 1618 to 1648, called the Thirty Years' War. It was between Catholic and Protestant, and the little princes and electors of Germany fought each other and the Emperor; and the Catholic King of France had a look in on the side of the Protestants just to add to the confusion; and ultimately the King of Sweden, Gustavus Adolphus—the " Lion of the North " he was called—came down and defeated the Emperor, and thus saved the Protestants.

The Balkan Wars of 1912 and 1913 were extraordinarily bloody, and in a short time and within a short area there were enormous losses. The Bulgarians are said to have committed horrible atrocities on the refugee and retreating Turks. The Turks themselves had a very bad record in earlier years. Serbia (now a part of Yugoslavia) developed a most sinister reputation for assassination. A secret murder gang of so-called patriots, named the "Black Hand," and including among its members many high officials of the State, was responsible for a bunch of peculiarly horrible murders. The King and Queen of the country, King Alexander and Queen Draga, together with the Queen's brothers, the Prime Minister and some others, were all murdered in a disgusting manner. This was just a palace revolution and another person was made king.

>As the Archduke, with his wife sitting by him in an open carriage, was going along the streets of Serajevo, he was shot at and both he and his wife were killed. The government and people of Austria were in a rage and accused the Serbian Government (Serbia was the neighbour of Bosnia) of complicity in this crime. The Serbian Government of course denied this. Inquiries made long afterwards have gone to show that the Serbian Government, though not responsible for the murder, was not wholly ignorant of the preparations made for it. The responsibility for the murder must largely rest, however, with the Serbian " Black Hand " organization.

>Look at the new map of Europe. One big State, Austria-Hungary, has disappeared entirely, and in its place have risen several small States, which are often referred to as the Austrian Succession States. These are : Austria, reduced to a tiny fragment of its former self and with a great big city like Vienna as its capital; Hungary, also much reduced in size, Czechoslovakia, which includes the old Bohemia; part of Yugoslavia, which is our old and unpleasant acquaintance, Serbia, swollen out of all recognition; and parts have gone to Rumania, Poland, and Italy. It was a thorough dissection.

>There was a conference of representatives of European governments to consider what help they should give for famine relief. They declared that they would give no help till the Soviet Government promised to pay the old Tsarist debts, which it had repudiated. The money-lender was stronger than the humanitarian, and even a heartrending appeal from Russian mothers for their dying children went unheeded. But the United States of America made no conditions and gave much help.

>The Allies, of course, hated the Germans, but they hated the Bolsheviks even more. President Wilson of America had indeed sent a cordial greeting to the Soviet Congress early in 1918; he seems to have repented and changed his mind later.

>So the United States went on growing stronger and wealthier and producing, among other things, millionaires and sky-scrapers. They caught up to Europe in many ways and passed it. Industrially they became the leading nation of the world, and the standard of life of their workers became higher than anywhere else. Because of this prosperity, as in England in the nineteenth century, socialistic and other radical theories had little, support. American labour, with some exceptions, was most moderate and conservative. It consisted chiefly of Italians and other " Dagos', as they were contemptuously called. They were weak and disorganized, and were looked down upon. Even the better-paid skilled workers considered themselves a class apart from these " Dagos ".

>In the north-east Tsarist Russia was growing bigger and bigger, and always pressing hard on the Turkish dominions. She became the traditional and persistent enemy of the Turks, and for nearly 200 years waged intermittent war against them till both Tsar and Sultan went down almost together and took their empires with them.

>Russia is a Slav country, and so are Bulgaria and Serbia in the Balkans. Tsarist Russia tried to appear as the protector and champion of these Balkan Slavs. The real lure for Russia was Constantinople, and all its diplomacy was aimed at the eventual possession of this ancient seat of empire, the Tsar considering himself a successor of the Byzantine emperors. In 1730 began the series of Russo-Turkish wars, and they continued, with intervals of peace, in 1768, 1792, 1807, 1828, 1853, 1877 and, lastly, in 1914. In 1774 Russia got the Crimea from Turkey, and thus reached the Black Sea. But this was not much good, as the Black Sea is bottled up and Constantinople sits at the neck. In 1792 and 1807 the Russian frontier kept on advancing towards Constantinople and the Turkish frontier receding. During the Greek War of Independence, the Tsar tried to profit by it by attacking the Turks when they had their hands full elsewhere He would have captured Constantinople if England and Austria had not intervened

>Both Australia and Canada were being drawn more and more into the American sphere of cultural and economic influence, and one of the joint dislikes of all three countries were the Japanese, and especially Japanese immigration. Australia is in special danger from this, as it has vast uninhabited areas, and Japan is not far, and has an overflowing population. Neither these two Dominions nor the United States liked England's alliance with Japan.

>You can judge of the state of other countries during the depression from what I have told you about America. Some were far worse, others were a little better. On the whole, agricultural and backward countries were not so badly hit as advanced industrial ones. Their very backwardness saved them to some extent. Their chief trouble was the collapse of agricultural prices, which brought great hardship to the peasantry. Australia, which is mainly agricultural, could not pay her debts to the English banks, and was on the verge of bankruptcy because of this fall in prices. To save herself she had to agree to hard conditions from the English bankers. In a depression the class which flourishes and dominates over others is the banker class.
