SOLUTISM AMONG RULERS SHOULD BE

The whole history of Ango-Saxon civilization
has been the history OF a steady. tenacious fight
against absolutism in the state, fight which has
been entirely successful. Financial absolutlsm must
be fought, and, in my opinion, THE INFLUENCE
THAT WILL FIGHT AND OVERCOME IT

thorough course of experience is the
best preparation one can have.
