But those efforts were of a tinkering a kind that few people expected much from them. It is interesting to consider, however, just how Britain may have appeared in the eyes of other nations during the recent period of industrial unrest. It is generally instructive "to sco corsella as ithers see us," even when the view. point of the others is a wrong one and the conclusions erroneous because they are based on insufficient internal evidence,
