Description
Excerpt from To the American Student: An Open Letter
So far, unhappily, America has taken over without fundamental correction those basic conceptions of the methods of human association which have shaped and colored and which explain the character of older European society; and so long as the intellectual foundations are the same, built upon the same mechan ism, guided by the same principles, the structure is pretty certain to possess the same deep-seated defects of more imposing appearance perhaps, with the paint a bit fresher, but with all the dangers none the less real and none the less failing to fulfil the needs and aspirations of its builders.
Now if at this point you hurry on to see what this Open letter really is about and conclude that it deals with the problem of war and international peace, you will wonder why I have indulged in this portentous introduction which you may deem to have little rele vance to that problem.
