European Superiority
Speculations on the Cause of Hurts to Amer:
ican Pride
By Padraic Emmet Smith
Cortona timed prs ralperaniptetninsty
MERICANS sometimes complain bear

the Inhabitants of the British Isic oward persons fad alk
fairs American. This European disdain is an undeniable
reality and is directly due to the infantile enthusiasm and
awe shown by the average travelling Americans, and partic
ularly by their womenkind, in the presence of anything
which has no counterpart in their own country.
A orazy oid edinoe marred by time, a chinicss dude
with a title, a dirty little town which has been mentioned in history, anything
to which a rag of aristocratic sentiment can be tied, suffices to excite their
wonder. A manager at a London hotel once told me that an American girl
that day had collected the shells of some nuts which an earl had been eating.
Rich Americans in Burope have the reputation of being unmitigated snobs.
Mediocrists from Burope, whom the average European does not know, are
Honized here and mobbed by “soclety.”
A few months ago a humdrum feat by the brother, or rather the horse
of the brother, of a British lord sent a Madison Square Garden "society"
erowd mad with enthusiasm. What wonder that Europeans are supercilious?
What wonder that they should be surprised and delighted at the social hum.

the level of the smug mediocrity of which they are themselves secretly

interests. Nothing but the strict fulfilment of our paval
programme can create for us that importance upon the free
worid-sea which it is Incumbent on us to demand. It
said that Germany cannot bear the burden of double arma-
ments by land and sea. The steady increase of our population compels us
to set ourselves new goals, and to grow from a Continental into a world pow-
er. Our mighty Industry must aspire 10 new oversea conquests. The number
We must dignify our colonies
with more importance. Our world trade, which has more than doubled In
twenty years—which has increased from $2.500,000000 to $4,000,000.
