'There is an answer,' says an Anglican Bishop

‘In the last war all I wanted was to get back to bacon in the morning, done crisp, football on Saturday afternoon, home and the fireside. 
‘I still see all these as very legitimate desires, and I hope the fulfillment of them and many more will be at the disposal of Britain's returning millions. But all these things added together and enjoyed by all won't put the world straight, and that uneasy thought is beginning to penetrate a good many minds.
‘Bombardier in the last war and Bishop in this, I have turned reporter. I report what I have seen. I believe the greatest service I could do my country and other countries is to make as widely known as possible and as swiftly as possible—facts. The facts are people, and the people are a fact.
‘War and peace have taken me to many lands and many people. In all of them I have seen the world that doesn't work and why it doesn't work. In the past ten years, in every country I have been in, I have also seen the world that does work and why it works.’
George West was the Anglican Bishop of Rangoon.
