We have been given praise ad nauseam^ 134 WHAT ENGLAND THINKS OF AMERICA and, to be honest, you can never compete with us on that ground. We can praise ourselves in terms that would silence any competitors. . . . I wish, too, that I could believe that the "beggars from Europe" had either their hats or their bags stuffed with dollars. I*m afraid you have spoken to the Americans, not to the beggars. I was one my- self. I went home in April, prouder of my country than I had ever been, jealous of i...ts good repute, and painfully anxious that it should live up to its reputa- tion. I fear I found that people were not only tired of generosity, but wholly indifferent to the impres- sions being so widely circulated in the press — that France had been guilty of every form of petty in- gratitude, that the atrocities of Great Britain in Ireland outdid the Germans in Belgium and France. A minority everywhere was struggling against the tide, with dignity, and the generosity I had so se- curely counted on from my own people.
