THE PRIME MINISTER
THE object of this play is to present
a picture in little of the evil which
lies at the heart of the world-war,
by showing the clash of ideals in the
warring nations. On the one side, a
race which has, for thirty years, been
taught in its schools to set up its
State as an idol to be worshipped,
and now sincerely believes and shame-
lessly declares, that it is justified in
committing any crime that will add
to its power and temporal glory. On
the other side, a group of races which,
incapable of realising the peril of this
moral lunacy, have been struggling to
hold on to their faith in the veracities,
in abstract justice, and in human
brotherhood.
