LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

Mr. Keynes will explain. He will have had his little fling in the drawing
room; he will have uttered the minority murmur and said that it will not
quite be the millenium promise, by the prophet Isaiah. But that after all
the old system of economics, the orthodox system, was the basis of
Cambridge and that you have at least preserved the ideals that he stood
for, and, of course, prices of foodstuffs will fluctuate, so someone can
still make a little money by speculation, a little more money by
speculation than they could by productive labor, which is, of course,
another aim of the war.
#106 (July 6, 1943) U.S.(C69)
CREDIT: LEGALITY
John Adams won the American Revolution as a law case before the
peculiarly venal and squalid government of England at that time had
recourse to arms.
The 1770’s were possibly imbued with a much more sensitive and active
sense of legality than can be found today in the Anglo-Jewish countries.
We saw the United States flooded with quite squalid ballyhoo, telling the
simps that they can make more in the army than in civil life. A level of
baseness in some of these articles quite such as to turn the stomach of
what was once considered the plain honest man, but will today be
counted an hyper-sensitive by Hollywood standards.
Besides the offers of high pay for the army, such as appeared before
America had OPENLY entered the war, are probably out-of-date by now.
I am merely contrasting the venality of this purely mercenary disposition
with the Italian state of mind or that of our American forebears.
