Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Candid: Quarterly Review of Public Affairs, Political, Scientific, Social and Literary Under the conditions which prevail for the present in this country our wonted freedom in discussing public affairs is curtailed alike as regards Past, Present and Future. We are under a double restraint. First and foremost there is the sense of sensible men which teaches them how wrong it would be to enter upon any recrimination or censure, or even any avoidable criticism, however blameworthy may have been our pastors and masters, lest their efforts for the public welfare might be disturbed. That is a sufficient motive for reticence, and even the only motive which can act upon men of spirit. Another motive there may be which will appeal to those of the baser sort, to people who want notoriety or who allow the dormant feeling of Party still to obscure their minds, or who have so little of the real patriotism that they cannot see the duty of offering in civil life at home an example of self-restraint similar to that which is silently practised by our soldiers and sailors every hour of the twenty-four. For them the Government has provided a machinery which censors the Press, substitutes trial by Court Martial for trial by the ordinary Courts of Law, and confines us all substantially to that amount of information about our vital interests which our temporary rulers think it is good for them to let us know.
