Some Recent Developments Making for Better Anglo-American Relations

HE r6le of the prophet is hardly that of the historian. The historian dealing with the past has to know a great deal about facts and events, knowledge of which is often acquired with a great deal of labor. This is presumably not necessary when one prophesies. I say, presumably, because, on more careful consideration, it is clear that predictions in regard to the future, to be worth while at all, must be based upon an appreciation of past development and a keen sense for the trend and tendencies of recent history. Hence although I do not pretend to a claim to the prophet's r6le on this basis, I believe that to be a good prophet, one should first be a good historian
