But as an English- man who is writing a play, we believe as much to plead for something as to entertain, he must be accurate or his plea will avail him nothing no mat- ter what he accomplishes in the way of entertainment. By the omission of France, the British national pride creeps in to the play and from Shaw it is amazing. He, who even in "Ge- neva" ridicules the transcendental faith of the British masses in the power of the empire and its perma- nence as such on the international scene, shows the same tendency in his own intellectual plea for a better world. His better world is the same old Empire with a more democratic gov- ernment. He would throw out the watered peerage and establish peerage of wisdom, he would dis- card the old commercial monarchy of Great Britain and substitute the new co-operative prosperity of Great Europe. The solutions of Shaw in "Geneva" are pretty hopeless, even probably, to George. He throws re- ligion out as impractical and too weak, as something which has had a chance but which is too much for hu- manity. He only clings to God in a sort of a condescension to an old tra- dition and he offers the old humanity of man to man, the emotional good sense theory, which is founded, if it is to be of any use at all, if it is to be successful in any degree, upon that very God that George patronizes.
