LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

Why would he eat angel cake out of Wallace’s kitty-bag?
Why wouldn’t he be ready to divide up with Japan, say a sphere of
influence in Alaska, while the men of Nippon went down to eat kangaroo
meat and take a dip in the Australian wool trade?
Mr. Wallace’s propensity to venture forth on the apple bough is such as
would cause perturbation to any nation less acephalous than that now in
habiting the N. American continent.
Now lest you think I am making this up as I go along, or lest you think
my view is tinged by opinion picked up in the Mediterranean basin, let
me quote you one of your “allies” who wrote it back in 1931, in Mr.
G.K. Chesterton’s paper.
Let me be serious. Let me animadvert, or at least cite a few passages
from J. Desmond Gleeson on winning the War. Oh no, not THIS war.
The last war. Gleeson was writing in 1931 on winning the last war. They
saw the golden sun setting in the West. They certainly did win the war
and the losers stood about the shores of their ancient continent looking
toward the newer continent where the world had begun splendidly again.
I prefer G.K. Chesterton’s style to Gleeson’s. Quote:
But though it seems a criminal thing to say the business men of America
were not quite so business like as they should have been. They organized
a scheme of debts due to themselves and appointed a chief debt
collector, but neglected to close down all workshops in the U.S.A.
They piled up stacks of finished stuffs designed for every imaginary
purpose. They anticipated the wishes and set a whole complicated and
expensive process in motion that should FORCE individuals to own to
the wishes that the big business man wished them to wish.
