Excerpt from Scandinavia and the War

All this I grant, and the truth of it is more and more being brought home to those whom it principally con cerns. In fact, I hope that one of the good results pro duced by the present upheaval will be to make the Scandinavians fix their gaze on what they have in com mon rather than on their differences. But, to under stand the bearing of the great war on their countries, it is absolutely necessary to keep in mind that they still think and speak and act as Swedes, Norwegians, or Danes, and not primarily as Scandinavians. All of them are just now seriously agitated by hopes as well as fears but their hopes and fears are not identical except in one point - that they are above all desirous of preserving their national integrity and independence. To make clear the distinctions modifying that common, general desire, I shall consider the three nations separ ately in their relation to the present crisis, as well as to the new international situation likely to spring from it.
