The question I ask 10. Are We

Are the qualities which in past

Us?
We must find an answer to
these questions. lest We perish

Empires have perished In the past.

There is no way in which 1t can
be obtained save by sacrifice. 1t
can only be obtained by q certain
number Of wealthy men combining
and agreeing to lose money. For
It is quite certain that giving Of
such information would be con-
Quoted at a heavy loss.
Well, no such wealthy men will
combine. International finance
supports its press at loss because
that loss is recouped hundred
fold In profit. But the plutocracy
In England will no longer, as In.
dividuals, run the risk of private
loss for so novel an object as the
cleansing Of public opinion from
folly. Some Of the wealthiest are
also the most patriotic. But the
object is too distant and too un.
certain, and, above all, too un-
on. There is no issue upon this
side.
What else remains?
1t is quite certain that the trag.
edy now fully started will develop
with increasing rapidity.
1t seems almost equally certain
that the corrective of this vast evil
through proper information-that
is, through a sane and educated
press such as England had even
thirty years ago-is not to be
achieved. What can be done?
