[15] It is usual to divide groups into primary and
secondary groups. Membership of a primary group tends

secondary group affects persons only to the degree

Duff, This human nature, p.352.
[17] During the last war, in Germany especially, the
wealthy were much better provided with food than the
poor. In all countries the bodies were conscripted,
but the money was not. In England, it still takes the
whole-time labour of 2,000,000 workers, year in year
out, to produce the annual cost of the war debt.
