LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

I assume that there was a tiny, and languid minority who did NOT
acquiesce DEElightedly in a war, which was KNOWN to be going to
have such consequences as the whole world now sees it havin’.
Revolution di PALAIS ? Is that it ? Do you think you can balayer the
palais ? Do you think you can have a nice little revolution, in the colors
of Mr. Watt’s Hope Soap and Charity?
AH yes, but the MONEY. I am castin’ about in my mind for some way
you could CLEAN your own sewers.
Oh, but you say, we don’t WANT to clean the sewers, we just want to
dust out the draaaawin’ room.
I comprehend you. But is that just what you can do?
I was for years all for a nice sensible bit of reform but Mr. Rothschild,
and Mr. Sieff, and the rest of the British powers, Mond, Kataan, Sas
soon, and the rest of ’em weren’t very keen to nice reforms discussed in
their papers.
They put in such blokes as Eden. They put OUT anybody who said
anything sensible. Nice old gentlemen, who would edge up to the truth,
talkin’ about remonitization of silver, or some VERY mild infraction of
the gold-bugs monopoly. They, the nice old members of the respectable
knighthood, or elderly colonels, who remembered the end of the other
war, they would get sent out to Karachi, to keep ’em from impeding the
traffic (traffic in gold, and in loans at high interest) or at low interest,
sometimes not more than 30 or 40% on the real money handled.
CAN YOU MEET one another ? Your air isn’t free. Open organizations
have been “put inside.” No chance of marching ’round swinging green
banners; presenting petitions to the King, about Coventry. Nothing but
SECRET organization. Ever hear of the Fenians?
