Excerpt from Building a New World
"This will be a different world after the war." How often have we heard this said! Because the winning of the war is essential, if a new world is to be built, nations are giving themselves to it with the spirit of the Crusaders.
President Wilson, in his remarkable messages, has been the spokesman not only for the United States but for the people of all nations who are hoping and working for a new world; but President Wilson in his world leadership has been the champion of free government and the equal opportunity of democracy, not alone for Europe, not alone for the stronger nations, not alone for the favored races - but for the world. It is essential that every true American, that every champion of democratic institutions, shall think through carefully the meaning of President Wilson's challenge that "the world shall be made safe for democracy," and shall join heroically in the great mission of America, not to dominate the world as the Prussian autocracy attempted to do, but to help in making freedom possible everywhere.
This outline is planned as a guide to thinking and discussion on the issues and aims of the war, and to lead to clear conviction in regard to the relation of winning the war to the building of a new world; and then to furnish the basis for facing what is involved if America's war aims as stated by President Wilson are to be made operative in the great continents of Asia, Africa, and South America, which in land area, in available man power, in undeveloped resources of coal, iron, lumber, and agriculture, and in possibilities of development, bulk the largest in the new world.
