Excerpt from Old Diplomacy and New, 1876-1922: From Salisbury to Lloyd-George
Despite the fact that the murder of an Austrian Archduke was the occasion of our being involved in a world-war; and although there is an obvious connec tion between unemployment at home and the condition of Continental Europe, the general public seems hardly to consider the vital importance to its daily life of Foreign Affairs. Unskilled conduct of our Foreign Policy - not merely at moments of crisis, but from month to month - may bring ultimate unavoidable disaster: its skilful conduct brings respect, prosperity, and peace.
