LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

Now what I had to say about the state of MIND in England in 1919, I
said in my Cantos (14 and 15). Some of your theosophists and fancy
thinkers would have called it the spiritual state of England. I am content
to say state of mind.
I can’t say my remarks were heeded. I thought I had got ’em simple
enough. Words short and simple enough. In fact some people
complained that several of ’em contained no more than 4 or 5 letters
(some less).
Now I hold NO Catholic has ever been or ever will be puzzled by what I
said in those Cantos. I have, however, never asked for sympathy when
misunderstood. I go on trying to make my meanin’ clear and then
clearer. And in the LONG run people who listen to me (very few do, but
members of that small and SElect minority) do know more in the long
run, than those who listen to Mr. H.G. chubby Wells and the liberal
stooges.
What I am gitting at is, a friend said to me the other day that he was glad
I had the politics I have got, but that HE didn’t understand how I, as a
North American, United Stateser could have it.
Well that looks simple to me. Things OFTEN DO look simple to me.
On the CONfucian system that if you start right, and then go on, start at
the root and move upward, the pattern often is simple, whereas if you
start constructin’ from the twig downward, you get into a muddle.
My politics seem to me SIMPLE. My idea of a state OR an empire is
more like a hedge hog or porcupine, chunky and well defended. I don’t
cotton to the idea of my country being an octopus WEAK in the
tentacles and sufferin’ from stomach ulcers and chronic gastritis.
I wish Brother Hoover had spilled his facts about the stinking and rotten
Treaty of Versailles while he was still in the White House. But I am glad
