LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

Sumner, and Mr. Agar expect the American, or the British or Yittisch
mind to collaborate in reformulation of a workable plan, for international
equity? Does Mr. Welles expect the eschewment, the laying off, the
desistance from economic aggression (or its more stable state, economic
oppression) to be BILATERAL in the postwar world? And if so, why
don’t they or he step on the gas.
A lot of old card tricks have been published. They do NOT allure the
world. The cheese in the free trade trap is too stale to cause the tremor of
any exotic whisker. Have we got to wait for a new (possibly pink, or
milk white) American generation to SHOW up, and demand local
administration? Demand a government with the consent of the governed
and NOT by a secret Committee of irresponsibles?

OBJECTION (PROTESTA)
I object quite as much as the next man to the loss of American life and to
the misfortunes of the American people. I don’t know how far I am
makin’ this clear. I have perhaps two other objections NOT shared by
my hearers, or by those who turn off the radio at the sound of my
protests.
The American gangster did NOT spend his time shooting women and
children. He may have been misguided, but in general he spent his time
fighting superior forces at considerable risk to himself. But not in
dropping boobytraps for unwary infants. I therefore object to the modus
in which the American troops obey their high commander. This modus is
NOT in the spirit of Washington or of Stephen Decatur.
I also object to the misuse of the American army and navy. I mean in
view of a long term policy. It is known, and should be known better, that
an empire to be solid, to be a goin’ concern has to be able to stand the
expense of policing its trade routes. Now I see Roosevelt and his Jews
