Description
Excerpt from A. E. F: Ten Years Ago in France
What really had happened was that the star of destiny, having been westward bound for many generations, finally had passed over the horizon of the meridian of Greenwich. Largely unperceived, we had come to equality with the world's greatest by 1914. We had finished conquering a new world and had consolidated our positions, and now we had, with our youth, our inventiveness, our eco nomic isolation and our tremendous natural re sources, perfected a new theory and practice of production, a new industrial society in which high priced labor, working short hours, could outpro duce and outsell European cheap labor, working long hours. We should have passed Europe any way, but the war had expedited the process.
