for the oppressed among the

not foresee, perhaps. that they
were loosing a spiritual force
which in time would dethrone
all kings and overthrow all au-

generation, in the conceit of its
narrow nationalism. did not,
until recently, realize how pro-
foundly American institutions
were influencing world gov

souls even now who, giving an
absurdly strict construction to
Washington's warning against
entangling foreign alliances,
express the fear that this coun-
try has forfeited its freedom
of individual action in joining
with nearly a score of other ma
tions to fight the battles of
democracy.
