...democracy in which we place our faith is that which gives a chance to each individual to develop himself according to his abilities. Under the regime of a low standard what becomes of the able man's chance? Is it fair to him or to the commonwealth he will one day serve, so long as he presents himself fully prepared, to limit willfully his opportunities...

The reported "panning" of the French and British by the American soldiers can be attributed only to one cause, German propaganda. By no other means would the wonderful unity of thought and feeling existent during the war be likely to be even so slightly broken. Undoubtedly the League of Nations is a subject worthy of the most careful consideration. In theory, it would appear to be an admirable means...
