Synopsis
Excerpt from Problems of Readjustment After the War
Is this the end of European democracy? Will example and military pressure cause the end of American democracy? Are the people of the world giving over their destinies to the judgment of a handful of statesmen and war i'loi's, practically designated by themselves? Have the peoples as a whole no wisdom left? Is there a difference in the makeup of the hu man mind between times of war and times of peace? Or when the cyclone is past, will the owners of the various ships of state again claim their right to their own property? These crit ical questions come home with peculiar force to the people of the United States; for popular government in America depends upon the power of democracy to repel the shock of mili tarism.
