Page v TO ALAN

Page vii Let us be grateful to women for taking an interest in the League of Nations. In politics as in art they are always 'mystic', that is to say, somewhat emotional, somewhat prone to veneration, and not unfrequently [sic.] they are taken in. Their superstitious respect for what they believe to be competence, their somewhat servile respect for anything that is suggestive of power, their love of eloquence, their taste for incidents and for intrigue: all these attractive characteristics add to their beauty. They dispel indifference; they diffuse emotion; they take sides; and one notices how, being less interested in ideas and facts than in men, they delightfully deem it their role and duty ever to be rewarding somebody. - ROBERT DE TRAZ, THE SPIRIT OF GENEVA,TRANS. FRIED-ANN KINLER,LONDON 1935,33
