[41] See the address on “War and Sublimation,” given by Dr. L. Jones,
in the subsection of Psychology, at the meetings of the British
Association, September 11, 1915. In war, he pointed out, impulses
were noticed which apparently did not exist in peace, except in
the criminal classes. Primitive tendencies never disappeared from
existence; they only vanished from view by being repressed and buried
in the unconscious mind.

George Allen & Unwin, Ld., 1918.
[43] “We were told that the war was to end war, but it was not: it did
not and it could not.” So said Field-Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, May 18,
1920; at which date it was no longer necessary to keep up the illusion.
[44] If any doubt existed as to the national insensibility caused by
the war, it must have been dispelled by the comparative indifference
with which the news of the Amritsar massacre--a more terrible atrocity
than any for which German commanders were responsible--was received in
this country.

[47] I heard a Derbyshire gamekeeper actually quote “Vengeance is
mine; I will repay, saith the Lord,” as if it were an injunction to
the righteous to follow the example of a vengeful Deity.
