The younger people feel differently, and when I was passing this landlord's house, not long afterwards, I found these lines written in pencil on the door-post: In the days of rack-renting And land-grabbing so vile A proud, heartless landlord Lived here a great while. When the League it was started, And the land-grabbing cry, To the cold North of Ireland He had for to fly.
But, as the Italians point out in defending this piece of land-grabbing, Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations expressly states that the wishes of people not yet civilized need not be considered. Let us now consider the claims of Greece as a reversionary of the Sick Man's estate. Do you realize, I wonder, the full extent of the Hellenic claims?
For it has been only ten years and a few months since the famous Boxer outbreak. The widely current idea is that this Boxer movement originated in anti-missionary sentiment, but this is not borne out by the facts. The late Col. Charles Denby, long American Minister to China, pointed out very clearly that the main cause was opposition to the land-grabbing policies of European nations.
We can never get on if we are to introduce the discussion of the lines of every new battle-ship by arguments as to the sea-worthiness of the ark.
