After short nap went to visit the [[red underlined]] London Museum, [[/red underlined]] nearby in the Park. It is there where we [[strikethrough]] ha [[/strikethrough]] MacDonald [[strikethrough]] gave [[/strikethrough]] ^[[held]] the Government Reception. But at that evening between so many chemical visitors, their [[strikethrough]] wit [[/strikethrough]] wives and buffet there was little chance to see the exhibits as all the rooms were crowded then and constant interruption by introductions etc.

[[/underlined]] Mental construction, [[red underlined]] greater intellectuality is not enough. [[/red underlined]] - higher conception of our interrelated duties towards each other. A better race higher ideals. [[red underlined]] Not boxing matches or faster running horses. [[/red underlined]] - not adoration of money, or wealth. But [[red underlined]] better children, physically morally [[/red underlined]] and intellectually. Our [[red underlined]] armies, wars, battleships [[/red underlined]] bombing planes and [[red underlined]] poison gas will not accomplish this. [[/red underline]] Our [[red underline]] problem is that of construction not of destruction [[/red underlined]] as Armies & Navies envisage it in some countries like [[red underlined]] Germany & Italy [[/red underlined]] Even the latter only [[red underlined]] imitate what France, England, Russia [[/red underlined]]
