America is now following
one war late-a course in world
affairs broadly envisioned by
Woodrow Wilson 80 years ago.
It is more than . little depress-
ing to be reminded, in such
forceful prose as Wilson's. how
the United States missed the
boat after World War I. But
Mr.. Day has not spared Amer
ica's feelings in this compre-
hensive selection from Wilson's
public and private papers.
There is much more here
than the point-by-point logic Of
why the United States should
have joined the League Of Ma
tions after World War !. There
is also the fundamental philos-
ophy Of democratic living-na-
tional and international-which
built the idea. Mr.. Day takes
great pains to remind us that
Wilson knew as much about the
spiritual strength Of this cour1-
try-its family secrets-as any
man. Wilson's feel for the es-
sence of our democratic process.
reviewed now after more than
80 years, has an instructive
freshness about it.
For the man who may have
lost sight Of the big picture" OF
American democratic progress.
this is a stimulating collection
of essays on the science and
spiritual growth Of our country.
