...reject as mumbo-jumbo any conception of American honor as a mysterious something distinct from the aggregate honor of American citizens. National traditions, ideals and honor live in the minds of people and nowhere else. Now, as members of the American partnership, we feel sorely humiliated by the Germans. Somehow we feel less moved by the greater indignities practiced by American partners on each other. It is so much easier to hate the foreigner.
