Excerpt from Great American Issues: Political Social Economic, (a Constructive Study)
Unless we put our house in order - politically, socially, industrially - nothing is more certain than that we in America are going to suffer before long from evils scarcely less terrible than those with which war has made. the world familiar. Despite ample warning, the United States was totally unprepared for war, and the sudden cessation of hostilities found it totally unprepared for peace. Despite also a modicum of useful achievement, such as certain orders of the Federal Reserve Board, the passage of railway legislation, and the reports of Government and private bodies on the wage situation, merely a promising beginning has been made toward a solution of our difficulties.
It is at once a blessing and a misfortune that, thanks to the cooperation of our allies, we were not compelled to suffer the tragic consequences due to follow our lack of foresight During the great war France and England provided us with artillery, ammunition, airplanes and ships; and they sent over hundreds of their most experienced officers to instruct us in training an army for modem warfare.
