Excerpt from Letters Touching Unrest Cause and Remedy
During these history-making days, to one keeping in touch with the world"s current affairs, it becomes evident that they are so revolutionary and alarming that at times it would seem as if no one desired to get down to facts. For instance, during my travels in 1901, the enthusiastic admiration of the press in England and on the Continent for American business and educational methods was extremely confusing to me. After reading Lord Rosebery"s astounding statements that "some of the Captains of Industry conduct governmental affairs," and that "Britons are impotent," I did not think the time opportune for publishing the little matter I had then prepared to the contrary. But now that some of the falseness of modern methods is coming to light men may possibly cease to praise and instead give to current affairs a little rational attention.
Every one realizes how interminable have been the discussions of the social question and how fruitless have been the efforts of the many meetings and congresses convened with the object of discovering a panacea for the universal unrest. Without possessing a sufficient knowledge of the facts relating to the cause and remedy all that has been said and written upon this subject has been harmful rather than beneficial.
