LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

Given a little more knowledge, given the elimination of a small number
of shysters, the war need not have happened.
Well, Europeans who ought to have known more than American farm
boys got toppled into it BECAUSE they were ignorant. Books may sell
15 editions in 40 years without penetrating the mind of a nation. Some
things that I say are NOT new, but I believe they are all necessary to

Even British minorities are muddleheadedly gettin’ obstinate over some
phases of the amenities. The decent English fight or urge others to fight
in the name of a few amenities. I admit that the public voice in Britain
