mocracy and are eager to get
few beams Of honest light upon
It. then you will find 1t extremely
interesting and instructive.
As for me detect several de-
fects in 1t, despite my agreement
with its general thesis. For one
thing. 1t seems to me that Mr..
Turner pu>s too much Of the blame
for the hypocritical and dishonor-
able course of the United States,
particularly in the years before
1917, upon DIR. Wilson. a man who,
despite his constant posturing as
omniscient and omnipotent. was
quite as much a victim OF the pre-
vailing propaganda as the veriest
editorial writer for a third rate
newspaper.
For another thing. It seems to
me that Mr.. Turner falls into the
common liberal error Of assum.
ing that the morals Of a nation
are the ordinary morals Of an in.
dividual-that the former Is to be
judged for its acts precisely as
the latter Is Judged.
This Is seldom true, even under
absolutism; II Is never true under
forms of government which set
up an imaginary entity called the
state, above and beyond any man
In II.
The United States, as nations

Nothing Omitted

1t is by a writer Of experience

Inc lover of his country.

the anterooms Of publishers for
three years because official lying
about its subject-matter had made
It's plain facts fantastic and
fabulous and because official in
vasions of the common right to
free speech made it's publication
dangerous.
To the exploration Of that long
and vexatious record he has
brought an industry that Is colos-
sal and a historical realism that
IL admirable and almost unique.
