 Tn those days just after fine war there were foolish people who talked of imperialism and of dictatorship. . They said that the soldiers would tyrannize our country One of the great lessons taught was that in six months after the war soldiers could go back Co the farm and the shop and be ! absorbed in the common life of the people. The talk of imperialism was no more foolish then than t is now I have too much respect for you to tell you that you are in no danger of a dictatorship. When any man tells you that get him a nurse and a perambu- lator, for if be really believes it he isn't ft Co be at large
