'Wednesday 22 December. I have just finished ?Au dessus de la M?l?e?. It revives all my anger at the treacherous laziness of those who experienced the war, in failing to preach the gospel of ?never? again. Why, why do we let the governments go on? Secret diplomacy, concession hunting, financial wrangling. Calculated ?inspiring? of the press. It is horrible. I used to believe the Press to be sincere, if misguided. But I have been reading the ?Mail? lately, and the easily recognizable note of sincerity is absolutely lacking.'
