White stripes were being painted on the pavements fox the direction of motorists without lights. Friday after- noon it was apparent that interest in the meetings was waning. People stood about in the halls talking in lit- tle groups and reading the papers. On Friday night the Germans worked till one o'clock clearing their demonstra- tions, In the morning they wére gone. That Britain was prepared for this eventuality was apparent by the rapidity with which the defence meas- ures were put into effect. Early Sat- urday morning anti-aircraft guns could be heard barking in practice about the city, "ctearing their throats" as one not-tgo-funny humorist said. Army lorries rumbled along the roads filled with' soldiers and equipment. Down-town Edinburgh on Saturday night was swarming with soldiers' in full kit going to their posts, The newspapers take wicked advantages of the people's anxiety and it is uli too easy fo develop a phobia for buy- ing every extra, By Monday the situation appeared worse. © The. university hostels had been ringed with barbed-wire to com- pound foreigners and refugees. All school children and invalids were he- ing evacuated. In the parks great trenches. were heing dug for air-raid shelters. Shipping was practically paralyzed, Toa . Two of our friends hooked last De- cember a passage to Australia via Canada. It has been cancelled. They had given up their lodging to sail this week. Now they are camping some- where on the outskirts of Edinburgh. There was a rumour here yesterday that a group of Americans have ar- ranged to charter .a boat Iving at Amsterdam. She is an old, slow boat and uninsured. They must go te Amsterdam tg join hér and their pas. sage without guarantee of blankets or the most ordinary accommodation will cost them $275, So here it isWednesday--and we are just waiting. Germany has replied to the British deliberations on their pro- posals but nothing has heen made public, ' The reaction of the people during these days of strain has been quite characteristic of the British people as we have come to know them--a flat of optimism and pessimism. The pes- simism is the 'natural result of the steady bludgeonings of bad news and ominous preparations. The optimism seems to-spring from the persistent whisper that no man or group of men can plunge an unwilling Europe into war from which, as they have warned each other, only havoc can emerge. Apart from the necessary activities of defense the British slogan of "Busi- ness as Usual" is completely operative. Despite this apparent calm there will be great joy and relief among the people if war Is aypided now. But for those men who think of humanity in terms . longer than to-morrow, it is our great failure that war can come so close. Yesterday I talked with a dis- tinguished scientist and author. He appeared to be a very distracted man. He said, "No empire, as an empire, is worth: the life of one young man. "If we fight a war now it will be an im- "| perial war, as the last, and no amount of abstract talk about justice and honour can ever give it moral justifiea- tion."
