Excerpt from The New World
Four years of pagan hell left Europe stunned and staggering. The world had gone through the reddest and blackest night in all the biography of the planet. With the signing of the Armistice the people tried to shake off the nightmare and grope back to light. To-day, twenty months after, they are still trudging and stumbling, paralyzed and benumbed. The problem to-day of making the world safe for civilization is more serious than was the question of making it safe for democracy nearly six years ago. If there was cause for sacrifice then, there is greater reason for it now. If there was occasion for a military morale then, there is need of an industrial morale to-day. Freedom called men to fight that autocracy might not rule the world. The present issue is not only freedom, it is life the chance to eat, to be warm, to sleep. A tired, wounded, worn and weary people face the to-morrows with little faith and much fear.
I went to Europe to see for myself.
